Jingxi, originally called “Guishun”, is a county located in the frontier area in southern China, bearing a good meaning of peace and tranquility for the western edge of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. As a national key county of the Program to Develop Border Areas and Improve People’s Living, Jingxi has been taking action for the program to promote a sustained and rapid economic development for the city, as well as all-round development for education, science and technology, culture and other undertakings, whereby a good economic, social and cultural basis has been set to strengthen the national identity of the Zhuang people. Ande, an ancient town with a history over a thousand years, is the site of the Zhuang minority’s first local government set up by its leader Nong Zhigao. The local Zhuang people commemorate Nong Zhigao as their folk hero in festival ceremony, and highlight and reshape the spirit of patriotism by performing “Nong Zhigao six Battle Flag”. In strengthening the national identity of the ethnic minorities in the border, we should make full use of its own historical resources to promote local economic and social development, and achieve the purpose of national identity. The way to reach national identity should not be rigid, and therefore we should combine the specific historical background and geographical environment and resources to find out an ideal approach.

Toponyms with Tai-Kadai root “Baan” are of unique historical value for ethnography on China’s southwest border. After investigating into the original and extended semantic meaning of the word “Baan” in Bangkok of Thailand, and Panyu and Sipsongpanna of China, it is found that they all retain the original meaning of “villages”. “Banna” in the phrase “Sipsongpanna” originally refers to rice-growing township, an administration unit for taxation. Secondly, it is observed that “baan” in original Tai-Kadai underwent a semantic extension from “village” to “family members”, “home”, “house”, then further extended to such bigger concepts as “city”, “lang”, “muang”. Finally, the “baan” is a meta structure, motivating the evolution of the rice growing villages and communities from one single village to a nation. “Baan-Muang” conceptualizes that process. The evolution of “Baan” word is actually due to the migration of its people, recording their cognitive change regarding the concept of “homeland”.

Liang Shu-ming was a well-known thinker in Chinese modern history. Chinese society was one of the two issues to which Liang had been seeking a solution all along (the other is about life). On the way out of Chinese society he once “advocated Western methods”, he then turned to Chinese traditional culture, and urged “sticking to Chinese cultural root” and creating “democracy of China style”, which showed extremely valuable cultural consciousness. Liang’s work not only helps people enhance national cultural self-confidence, but also provides valuable reference of theory and practice to explore the path to Chinese democracy for later generations.

Tang Jun-yi’s elaboration of the dialectical relationship between the nine horizons of the mind and “Tixiangyong” is derived from the positive and negative dialectics of Hegel, but their essences are different. The transfer of main body in the nine horizons is not in accordance with the order of “ti”, “xiang” and “yong”, but depend on which one of the horizons is appropriate in that moment. Tang Jun-yi and Hegel’s dialectics are different in that the former regards the main relationship between things as appearing and disappearing rather than contradictory, and this relationship embodies the telegnosis nature of mind. Thus, all things are morally united and harmonious within. Tang Jun-yi’s philosophy rectified tension between things in western cognitive rationality, which has its profound concern to the age.

General Secretary Xi Jinping’s thought of “an all-out effort to enforce strict Party discipline”implies profound philosophical meanings. This thought grasps the rule of strictly administering the Party overall and emphasizes every aspect of governing the Party strictly. Xi Jinping puts forward that every policy in administering the Party should be strong, which embodies the holistic thought. It is comprehensive and integrated, but it focuses on key points on the overall basis, which shows the theory of emphasis. The idea of “an all-out effort to enforce strict Party discipline”arises from the Party itself and it is the high reflection of Chinese Communist Party’s self-restrain, its consciousness of self-being and self-making, which fully embodies the thought of subjectivity. What’s more, Xi’s thought in governing the Party comes from practice but transcend practice. At the same time, the thought is not an illusive slogan, but urges us to apply theory in practice so as to guide the Party’s self-construction, enhance the Party’s fighting capacity, leadership and execution, which reflects practical ideas.

By studying the history carefully, we find that the reason why the two cities of Athens and Sparta fell into the “Thucydides Trap” in Peloponnesian war was not because of the Sparta’s fear induced by growing Athenian power, but mainly because the core interests of Sparta was challenged by Athens. Therefore, whether the core interests of the rising power or the predominant power is threatened or not is the primary cause of the war. Western people generally consider that the rising China and the United States will be doomed to fall into “Thucydides Trap” like Athens and Sparta. In fact, it is wrong to generalize the competition relationship between China and America in the era of globalization. Whether or not the United States respects the core interests of China is the key factor that decides whether the two countries will fall into a “Thucydides Trap” or not. To construct a new model of Sino-US relations, both sides should control and handle existing differences and disparities properly, play down the ideological conflict, and China’s core interests should be respected by America as well. Also, cooperation in all fields is needed to be carried out with the United Nations as the core, which is a great strategy to avoid the “Thucydides Trap” between America and China.

Hong Kong and Singapore both suffered from British colonial rule, and both of them are dedicated to the construction of national identity after their returning and independence. However, the effects were widely divergent. Singapore has promoted the formation of common values and a unified national consciousness by vigorously developing the economy on the basis of the respect for different cultural traditions. It is necessary for us to learn from the successful experience of Singapore and to adhere to the principle of “One Country, Two Systems”, and cautiously to treat native consciousness according to the actual situation of Hong Kong. Meanwhile, it is also of great importance for our country to proceed to improve the national education, to solve the economic problems as well as to speed up the economic integration between Hong Kong and the mainland, building a unitary national consciousness based on the admission of double identity and cultural diversity to respectively facilitate Hong Kong’s residents to embrace their motherland from the aspects of ethnic, culture and national identity.

Liu Shao-qi was escorted to Ruijin, the capital of central soviet areas, in the winter of 1932. By October 1934, he was the representative of the central committee of the Communist Party of China in the eighth army corps and set off the long march with the main force of the central Red Army, living in the Central Soviet Area and combating for nearly two years. He led and organized the Central Soviet Area social security authority – the central executive of all Soviet Area, holding a post as the chairman of the committee. He cared the living conditions of workers, and perfected the working methods. He also took the lead in boarding “bag”, organizing the masses to condole those workers in Soviet Area. In addition, he corrected the “leftish” tendency in Labor Law, and explicitly proposed the enterprise management ideology of System of Overall Responsibility by Factory Manager, etc. The social security thoughts and experiences Liu Shao-qi created and accumulated in the Central Soviet Area period have become vital parts of Mao Ze-dong's social security thought, which still possess practical guiding significance today.

The novels of Lin Yutang are characterized by their trace narration. In other words, he always sets his figures on their way of journey, and builds their characters in their travels or with the change of space. Lin brings trace narration, the merit of the western novels, into his literary creation, and combines it with Chinese special trace narration to form his own style. His novels not only present the figures in the growing, maturing, and dynamic process, but also have “leisure” to describe human relationships and worldly wit, and to introduce customs of different places. In this way, Lin harmonizes the dynamic with the static, and brings out the best of both. However, there are also some problems and disadvantage in this kind of trace narration.

Lu Xun’s modern national consciousness germinated under the fierce collision between China and the West in political, economic, and cultural areas. Meanwhile, his consciousness was not only based on the serious national social crisis in the late Qing Dynasty and the decline of his family, but also nourished by the patriotic spirit in the traditional culture. Therefore, the understanding of germination of Lu Xun’s national consciousness is helpful to realize his enlightenment, nationalistic critique, and the left-leaning opinions in his later life. It is also of great significance to explore Lu Xun’s relations with politics.

“Running away” narration is an important motif in the creation of new literature, which is the symbol of the individual freedom as well as the fracture of the growth of new people and family culture under the influence of enlightenment culture. In traditional culture, family is the cornerstone of society, family ethics are also the important support of the stable operation of society, and youths’ running away is the essence of abandoning family ethics. The combination of “running away” and “revolution” combines the individual spiritual growth and the realistic growth to realize the transformation from the individual narrative to the ethnic and national narration. “Traveling through time” and “running away” are the different presentations of the writing of youth in different periods, which is the embodiment of the “fracture” behavior. The time-travelers can not find the foothold in reality, and they live in a life of “hardship”, lack cultural identity and the value pursuit, lose self-identity, indulge in private life and resolve the “public space” into “private space”, which is a continuation of the small traditions that focus on daily life narration in the creation of new literature.

Comparing Hainan jun dialect with southwest mandarin, Jianghuai mandarin and common language of the Ming Dynasty, it is founded that there are many similarities between Hainan jun dialect and Guilin-Liuzhou mandarin, and there exists a relationship of evolution between Hainan jun dialect and common language of the Ming Dynasty, so it is believed that Hainan jun dialect and Guilin-Liuzhou mandarin are both derived from the mandarin of Ming Dynasty. On a synchronic level, because the vanishing of tail vowel in entering tone in Hainan jun dialect belongs to the rising tone, Hainan jun dialect can be incorporated into Guilin-Liuzhou dialect, a sub-dialect of the Southwest mandarin.

In Yue dialects in northwest Guangdong province, as a result of devoicing of unaspirated MC voiced initials, the words of MC voiced initials now are pronounced as voiceless unaspirated sounds. Since such change does not bring about much effect on its quality but shows the imbalance of Yue dialects, this feature can only be regarded as one of the criteria for sub-dividing of Yue dialects areas. In the early stage of the devoicing of voiced sounds, tones of yin and yang with significant differences are upgraded, and the role in distinguishing meanings of words is played by their tones, not the voiced initials any longer; thus, the unaspirated voiced sounds are changed into the voiceless ones. That is why MC voiced initials, which are stops or affricates, become unaspirated sounds in modern time.

Ping dialect in north Guangxi has attracted close attention from scholars for the matter of its belonging for a long time. Liutang dialect in the southeastern Lingui County of Guangxi belongs to Ping dialect, featured by its pronunciation diversity and the evolvement complexity of finals. There is a kind of final variation on condition of yangping tone, involving ancient rhymes in addition to Chuzhi and Shenshe, and showing that the main vowel tongue position of the yangping tone – evoked finals are higher than that of the non-yangping tone rhyme. According to the exploration of the relationship among tone modulation, value and time length of the finals with final variations evoked by yangping tone by means of experimental phonetics, a conclusion can be drawn that it is the difference of time length on the process of sound variation that leads to phenomenon of tone-evoked variation of finals.

In the life cycle of teachers’ professional development, they experience several career stages: quasi-teachers, new teachers, skilled teachers and expert teachers, and each stage has different characteristics and development obstacles. In view of the changes in the “education form” and “educational meaning” in the professional development of teachers, the teachers’ development support system provides different levels of training and guidance, in order to help teachers to understand the “form”and “meaning” of education and teaching in the process of grasping the “form”of teaching methods and teaching strategies, to deepen the speculation of educational philosophy, to pursue the irreplaceable significance and value of education and teaching, to realize the unique role of education in human development, to promote teachers under the guidance of the formation of teaching philosophy and finally to grow into an expert teacher.

Interdisciplinary research refers to a new study paradigm which uses theories and methods of various disciplines to investigate a certain phenomenon, matter or problem so as to obtain a general and integrated knowledge. The essential aim of interdisciplinary research is to achieve an integrated generation for researchers, with cross-disciplinary research literacy and capacity, who follow consistent principles of the research fields and dual logic of both embracing development and being preservative. The primary impetuses to establish the new paradigm of interdisciplinary research of pedagogy lie in the comprehensiveness of the educational science, the particularity of the educational objects, the complexity of the educational problems and the openness of the educational knowledge. The basic implementation programs of interdisciplinary research of pedagogy are to reach consensus in interdisciplinary research, assemble educational crossover research teams, develop interdisciplinary thinking, and integrate innovative combined educational research methods.

Chinese ethnic areas, mostly in the border of our motherland, are marked in the characteristics of “multi-languages, ethnically mixed, small communities” and even “cross-border living”. With the acceleration of the globalizing process and increasing exchanges of foreign culture, bilingual education in minority areas should possess the functions of “stabilizing the people, consolidating the border”, “maintaining cultural security” and “highlighting the discourse community ”. In bilingual education, the subjects of education should form the relationship of “inter-subjectivity”, the content should stress on “inter-culturality” and the practice should emphasis“inter-discursivity. The following three “shifts” should be taken to transform educational paradigm from language to discourse: “language tools” shifts to “language ontology”, “unidirectional inculcating” transfers to “dialogues and exchanges”.

Professional development of teachers in colleges and universities matters a lot for their higher professional accomplishments, better qualities in students' training and sustainable development in higher education. As a systematic program, it involves several benefit-related subjects, such as teachers, institutions of higher learning, governments, enterprises and families, so collective efforts made by the above stakeholders is necessary to promote professional development of teachers in colleges and universities. In terms of the construction of multiple support system for professional development in colleges and universities in ethnic areas , on the one hand, teachers, institutions of higher learning, enterprises, governments and families, all these subjects should be guided to give full play to their functions; On the other hand, coordination among the relevant subjects should be strengthened, making support system for professional development of teachers in colleges and universities form an organized whole, which will eventually provide multi-level and multi-aspect support for that in ethnic areas.

The core of the new urbanization is the urbanization of population. However, the key to urbanization of population is to improve the professional quality of population and achieve stable employment. Through setting up the measurement indexes of professional quality of population and urban employment level, this paper uses the panel data of representative provinces of southwest national areas of 2005-2015 to make empirical analysis, and the results show that both the basic sources and subsequent supplements of promoting professional quality of population produce a significant positive effect on urban employment level, but there exist differences in the extent. Through improving investments of school education and social education to enhance the employability of urban population, it is conducive to achieving stable employment in urban areas and transformation of urbanization of population from quantity to quality.
