The digital transformation of higher education is a complex systemic endeavor,characterized by both opportunities and challenges.At present,China's higher education digital transformation commonly faces practical situations described as “policy-driven,continuous equipment upgrades,fleeting innovations,and multiple conflicts in transformation,”which are manifested in the neglect of dynamic practice-oriented knowledge,the lack of distributed cognition,and the insufficiency of socially networked co-governance.The fundamental cause lies in the inability of traditional educational thought to align with the transformative logic of digitalization,which has become an ideological obstacle to higher education digital transformation.Strategies to overcome this impasse include:first,developing a new epistemology for the digital era,and reconstructing the knowledge system to integrate rational knowledge with dynamic practice-oriented knowledge;second,developing a new pedagogy for the digital era,and reconstructing a human–machine collaborative teaching paradigm to reintegrate teaching and learning;and third,developing a new governance perspective for the digital era,and reconstructing internal and external institutional mechanisms of universities.Only by updating both educational thought and educational infrastructure synchronously can the digital transformation of higher education achieve a qualitative leap from “formal resemblance” to “substantive realization.”

China's ancient unified state is marked by centralization and bureaucratization.Its effective integration and long-term governance of a vast territory and populous society surpass the organizational and technological capacities typical of the agrarian age,revealing strong state resilience.The “great unity” narrative is both a theoretical system that justifies the legitimacy of this unified state form and an ideational bond that sustains it over a long term.Formed through the state-sanctioned Confucian ideological construction in the Han dynasty,this narrative rests on a stable deep structure comprising a political narrative of “all under Heaven as one family,”an ethics-centered moral narrative,and a historical narrative of civilizational continuity,thereby providing a framework for descriptive analysis and normative evaluation in politics,society,and history.Although the “great unity” narrative and the unified state form are mutually interwoven,they also contain tensions between “the Heaven” and “China”,between “family–state” and “state”,between unity and plurality,and between continuity and change.Owing to the role of the literati-official stratum,the narrative's ideational system couples stably with the unified state form.Under the dual forces of tension and coupling,they engage in an active,agentic interaction that ultimately manifests as the state resilience sustaining the long-term continuity of the unified state form.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have a profound effect on the mental health of children and adolescents.Emerging evidences suggest that puberty is a critical window for stress recalibration when environmental conditions change significantly.This offers an opportunity to mitigate maladaptive outcomes and improve mental health among youth with ACEs.This review first synthesizes empirical findings on how adverse experiences in childhood and adolescence interact to affect adolescent mental health,summarizing dominant patterns and theoretical frameworks.Based on the pubertal stress recalibration hypothesis,the study clarifies the mechanisms underlying stress recalibration during adolescence.Furthermore,we systematically consolidate the neurophysiological foundations for puberty plasticity,and summarize the conditions facilitating this process from a four-dimensional model of Environment-Gene-Agency-Timing.Finally,we propose a shift toward a protection-focused perspective in the future research,advocating for leveraging this pubertal window to mitigate the adverse effects of childhood adversity and foster positive mental health literacy among adolescents.

At the confluence of a new technological revolution and industrial transformation,artificial intelligence is increasingly driving the reconstruction and continual evolution of the education system.The teaching profession now faces a substantive role redefinition,and teachers' perception of AI threat resemble a pervasive “technological itch”,generating simultaneous experiences of attraction and discomfort.Drawing on the social identity theory and integrating a cognition-affection-conation framework,this paper identifies four dimensions of teachers' perception of AI threat:distinctiveness threat,ability-category threat,educational‐relationship threat,and value-identity threat.In the context of educational digital transformation,we propose three countermeasures:(1) strengthening institutional mechanisms to delineate clear boundaries for human–AI collaboration;(2) cultivating a trust‐based educational ecosystem that safeguards teachers' psychological safety;(3) reshaping teacher professionalism toward human–machine co‐development.These insights aim to enrich the theoretical understanding of teachers' perception of AI threat and guide ongoing optimization of educational practice.

The deficit in social communication and interaction is one of the core symptoms of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).The preschool years are crucial for children with ASD laying the groundwork for social integration and mainstream school entry.Inclusive education is cornerstone of this educational and rehabilitative process.Due to the significant individual differences and functional impairments in social interaction among children with ASD,a tiered intervention model has been proposed to better support their integration into school learning and group life in preschool settings.This model addresses the heterogeneity and individualized needs of children with ASD and the corresponding need for individualized education.It involves implementing targeted social skills training based on comprehensive assessments of each child's abilities and needs.Furthermore,to effectively promote and implement this intervention model,several recommendations are proposed:developing social goals according to the level of support required by the child;applying applied behavior analysis-based intervention approaches;facilitating the involvement of typically developing children in peer support;enhancing teachers' expertise and skills related to ASD;and increasing parents' awareness and understanding of ASD.

The discourse system of Chinese aesthetics in the 20th century generally underwent a developmental process from “aesthetics in China” to the construction of “Chinese aesthetics”,and the construction of “Chinese aesthetics” is precisely the key to exploring the independent knowledge system of Chinese aesthetics.The aesthetic exploration of Zong Baihua,a modern Chinese aesthetician,went through an evolutionary course where,starting from German philosophical-psychological aesthetics,it moved to cross-cultural artistic aesthetics,and finally evolved into Chinese cultural aesthetics.In terms of his fundamental aesthetic propositions,there showed a shifting tendency of returning from the modern aesthetics discourse system centered on “beauty” to the indigenous Chinese discourse tradition of “Wen”.The in-depth reason for this shift lies in Zong Baihua's awareness that the disciplinary achievements of Western modern aesthetics are incompatible when addressing issues related to Chinese art,and that Chinese aesthetics possesses uniqueness distinct from Western aesthetics.Consequently,Zong Baihua is able to excavate and bring to light classical aesthetic discourses with distinct Chinese local characteristics such as “Wen” and “Wenxin” through his examination of tradition.Moreover,he has provided a paradigm for constructing the independent knowledge system of Chinese aesthetics by means of integrating Chinese and Western thoughts and activating traditional approaches.

Although the creation and publication of imperial poetry in the Qing dynasty presented an overall appearance of prosperity,the mechanisms for the poetry collections of emperors and imperial princes underwent changes during the Daoguang reign.The publication mechanism for imperial poetry collections,which took shape during the Qianlong era and standardized publication activities in the Jiaqing and Daoguang reigns,completely collapsed around the twelfth year of the Daoguang reign (1832).Observed from the perspective of literary creation,the degree of “collaborative composition” in Daoguang's imperial poetry is significantly lower than in Jiaqing's,reflecting a shift in the mode of text generation.Analyzed from the perspective of collection publication,the printing of poetry collections by imperial princes lacks relatively unified standards and suffers severe losses,suggesting a general indifference among princes towards their publication.The standardized and homogenized tendencies in the large-scale poetic series and “respectfully harmonizing” poems composed by the princes reflect that their poetic creation is heavily constrained by various precedents,possessing an inherently strong “passivity”.The manifestation of this attribute not only reveals the significance of imperial poetry in the Qing dynasty as a function of state symbolism but also provides a crucial perspective for us today to understand the unique literary phenomenon of its decline from prosperity during the Daoguang reign.

During more than one hundred years of the Northern Song Dynasty,the court gradually realized in its governance practice that ponds and reservoirs have multiple functions such as irrigation,ecology,transportation,and flood control.In the early Northern Song Dynasty,land reclamation was encouraged,but historical sites,and ponds and reservoirs were transformed into farmland,resulting in waterlogging of the fields.In the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty,the court began to encourage the construction of ponds and reservoirs,but the implementation effect was not ideal.During the Xining period,the construction of ponds and reservoirs reached a peak,with ponds and reservoirs built along the banks of the Bian River to irrigate rice fields.During the Yuanfeng period,the project of diverting the Luo River into Bian was implemented,injecting the ancient Suo River water into the ponds and reservoirs to supplement the Bian River and ensure smooth transportation.In the late Northern Song Dynasty,due to the impact of political turmoil,water conservancy projects such as ponds and reservoirs were in high demand and abandoned at times.The environs shared weal and woe with the capital in terms of ecological environment,social economy and other aspects,and were also the first to benefit from imperial policies.The management of ponds and reservoirs in the capital region in the Northern Song Dynasty reflects a strong national-led color.

Gan Ying's mission to Daqin stands as a landmark event in the history of Sino-foreign exchanges,and the meaning of “Daqin” remains a classic topic in the study of cross-cultural interactions.According to the records in Yu Huan's Weilüe,Yuan Hong's Annals of the Later Han,and Fan Ye's The Book of the Later Han,“Daqin” is the name bestowed by Han Dynasty intellectual elites upon Liqian (or Haixi,referring to the Roman Empire or one of its regions),based on their perception that its people share similar physical features,bloodline ties,and cultural affinity with inhabitants of the Central Plains.This understanding likely originates from a certain historical source of the late Eastern Han period.For over a century,scholars both in China and abroad have debated the interpretation of “Daqin”,proposing four primary theories:the transliteration hypothesis,the Han intellectual elite naming hypothesis,the hybrid naming-transliteration hypothesis,and the foreign naming hypothesis,yet no consensus has been reached.This paper contends that the character “Qin” in “Daqin” derives from a specific Han-era term “Qinren” for Huaxia people acculturated by nomadic peoples (“Hu-Hua”),reflecting the historical perception of Qin people as ethnically Huaxia yet culturally influenced by Hu people's traditions.The prefix “Da” denotes “great” or “powerful”,rendering “Daqin” as “the powerful state founded by Huaxia people transformed by nomadic culture”.Although equating Daqin's people with “Hu-Hua” Huaxia lacked factual basis,this conceptualization perpetuated the Han intellectual elite's tradition of constructing a unified “Tianxia”(all-under-heaven) order through the notion of “shared bloodline” between Huaxia and non-Huaxia peoples.It represents an attempt to expand the “frontiers of Huaxia” through historical narratives of “Huaxia ancestors migrating to the periphery”,embodying a grander vision of Tianxia.

In his later works,Stuart Hall adopts a Marxist cultural politics approach to address the multicultural issue in the West.He begins by critiquing the essentialist mindset embedded in previous cultural strategies,revealing the underlying dynamics of exclusive power.Hall then analyzes the right-wing's discourse of cultural segmentation through the lens of neoliberal hegemony,noting that left-wing parties in Britain have inadequately addressed the multicultural question due to their accommodation of neoliberalism.Lastly,Hall endeavors to seek the cultural politics that transcends liberalism and communitarianism,envisioning a new paradigm that embraces difference,equality,and unity based on the mutual construction of cultural identities.By doing so,Hall aims to challenge the constraints of capitalism and strive for socialist hegemony with a revitalized imaginative space.While Hall's cultural politics interpretation of the multicultural issues is profound,it ultimately faces challenges in transcending the limitations of material interests and power structures through cultural politics alone.This underscores the necessity of safeguarding socialist hegemony within the interplay of politics,economy and culture.

During the European Renaissance,the “capacity-based” approach to the philosophical demonstration of human dignity evolved into three interrelated and complementary strands:the “functional capacity theory” which establishes dignity through the mediating role of the universe;the “self-shaping capacity theory” which endows humans with a unique status through the openness of their “formless existence”;and the “freedom-based capacity theory” which anchors dignity in the practical unity of free will and moral reason.These three strands advanced the secularizing turn of the concept of dignity in a progressive manner and undermined the theological hierarchical order,not only weakening the absolute dominance of transcendent authority over human value but also initiating the study of subjective dignity.Admittedly,the logic of justifying dignity through “capacity” reduced dignity to an achievable attribute that requires verification—rather than a fundamental right inherently and equally possessed by every individual by virtue of their human existence and might theoretically neglect the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of “individuals with impaired capacities”.Nevertheless,its early construction of the concept of dignity highlighted humanity's uniqueness in the cosmos and laid a theoretical foundation for understanding human rights and dignity in subsequent eras.

The digital economy is an important driving force for innovation in emerging industries,and its rapid development has led to the emergence of demand opportunities for driving innovation in emerging industries.On the one hand,the market opportunity window brought by the digital economy drives innovation in emerging industries through leading markets,spatial differentiation,and expanding market boundaries.On the other hand,the demand for primitive technological innovation generated by the digital economy,as well as the demand for mature technology iteration,have driven innovation in emerging industries.For the demand opportunities for innovation in emerging industries driven by the digital economy,according to the scale and heterogeneity of demand,they can be divided into optimal market opportunities,two types of sub-optimal market opportunities,and inferior market opportunities.The emergence of different types of demand opportunities requires differentiated and matching institutional logic to stimulate,forming the logical paths of “from institutional logic to demand opportunity emergence,to enterprise response,and to emerging industry innovation” and “from institutional logic to enterprise attention,to attention to demand opportunities,to enterprise response,and to emerging industry innovation”.Based on the perspective of institutional logic,targeted action strategies are adopted to stimulate the emergence of different types of demand opportunities,thereby promoting sustained innovation in emerging industries.

In the credit market,information asymmetry makes it difficult for lenders to assess borrowers' credit risk,thereby affecting the efficiency of financial resource allocation.This paper constructs a theoretical analysis framework and combines it with adjustments to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Index in 2018 and 2019 to empirically test the relationship between ESG incentive policies,information asymmetry,and financial resource misallocation.The study shows that under the condition of satisfying the separating equilibrium,ESG incentive policies can effectively increase analysts' attention and the level of attention to research reports,reduce information asymmetry between enterprises and financial institutions,and thus effectively alleviate the problem of financial resource misallocation faced by enterprises.This conclusion remains reliable after a series of robustness tests.Further research reveals that the effect of ESG incentive policies on alleviating financial resource misallocation exhibits structural characteristics,especially prominent among private enterprises,innovation companies focusing on specific fields,and those voluntarily disclosing ESG information.This paper extends the economic impact of ESG to the field of financial resource misallocation,providing a new research perspective for alleviating the issue of financial resource misallocation.
