    Community with a shared future for mankind is a great strategic idea to lead the trend of the times and plan the development of mankind, which has a profound philosophical foundation of “new materialism”.The “new materialism” founded by Marx takes “human society” as its foundation, which is fundamentally different from the old philosophy which starts from “civil society”.It has realized the transformation from the logical starting point of “abstract man” to “realistic man”, the innovation of thinking mode from “empirical intuition” to “materialist dialectical” and the transformation of realistic end-result from “false community” to “real community”.Relying on private ownership and interest exchanges, “civil society” accomplishes the collusion with the bourgeoisie, which promotes the intensification of contradictions and conflicts in the real society and the irregular change of hierarchical structure, promotes the disorderly expansion of the capitalist world market, and leads to the derivative of unjust communication relations and the overall imbalance of the world order structure.Starting from the philosophical foundation of “new materialism”, Community with a shared future for mankind has always been based on “human society”, demonstrating the theoretical characteristics of “new materialism” which seeks to “change the world”.It goes beyond the explanatory principles of the capitalist development model based on personal interests, and moves towards a “free man consortium” that is in line with the essence of human communication and based on common interests, achieving the dialectical unity of the theoretical logic of “new materialism” and the historical logic of modern civilization development.

    The rapid development of platform economy based on digital technology has formed competition and integration with the capital cycle dominated by financial capital.The core of digital platforms is traffic, while the core of financial activities is credit and expectations.The expansion and financialization of digital platforms driven by capital are based on flow, credit, and expectations.The credit mechanism in financialization promotes the realization of traffic, enhances valuation expectations through platform leverage, and realizes overvalues through credit expansion, further attracting users' attention and expanding traffic, forming a spiral of “traffic-credit-expectation”.The competitive convergence of platform expansion and financialization takes various forms:First, through monetization and capitalization, financialization realizes the valuation and realization of digital platform traffic;Second, with the help of internal flow micro-cycles, digital platforms extend credit to the entire social network and improve financialization;Finally, there is a full range of competition between digital platform expansion and its financialization regarding traffic, credit, and expectations.

    Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, China has successively implemented examination and enrollment policies such as the recommendation system and the pilot program for college youth classes, independent enrollment, comprehensive evaluation enrollment, enrollment of top students in basic disciplines.These policies have become an important component or supplement to the unified college entrance examination system, forming a mechanism with Chinese characteristics for selecting top-notch innovative talents in universities.The key to selecting top-notch innovative talents is to handle the relationship between unified college entrance examination and independent enrollment in terms of enrollment methods.That involves the balance between comprehensive development and subject strengths in selection standards, collaboration between high schools and higher education institutions in selection subjects, and the combination of early identification and dynamic screening in the selection process.To optimize the selection mechanism of top-notch innovative talents in universities, it is necessary to re-examine the concept of social justice, improve the scientificity, fairness, and sustainability of the selection mechanism of top-notch innovative talents in universities, and provide strong support for the high-quality development of education in China.

    In the era of artificial intelligence, higher-order thinking that is a core human quality that higher education should focus on cultivating, has four characteristics:active, systematic, comprehensive and interdisciplinary.Some factors, such as the current pan-entertainment network environment, growth and changes in the dissemination of information and knowledge, and one-sided compartmentalized education and teaching have interfered with the development of higher-order thinking.Higher education teaching should make proper use of artificial intelligence to activate the initiative of students' thinking development by coordinating between individual nearest development zone and long-term social requirement zone, to promote the systemic nature of students' thinking construction by balancing between context building and multiple evaluations, to boost the development of the students' comprehensive thinking abilities by psychologically and emotionally integrated education, and to realize the interdisciplinary nature of thinking development by scaling up the whole process of teaching according to the needs, so as to help students develop human higher-order thinking that is different from the artificial intelligence.

    In the background of prolonged parent-child separation, the active personal growth of left-behind children is very important for their positive development.Based on the grounded theory, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 23 left-behind children, their 21 guardians and 18 teachers, and an open-ended questionnaire survey of 64 left-behind children was conducted, so as to investigate the structure and impact of the personal growth initiative (PGI) among left-behind children in rural China.Results have found that the personal growth initiative of left-behind children is composed of six skills:positively interpreting one's life, establishing one's goals and beliefs, relieving one's negative emotions, keeping good mentality, developing and using resources, and striving to improve oneself.It also brings growth discomfort to some of the children, while the personal growth initiative of left-behind children promotes the positive development of their cognition, emotion, motivation, ability, personality and behavior.It shows a double-edged sword effect.The results of this study have provided a reference for further strengthening educational intervention among left-behind children.

    Labor curriculum is one of the basic ways to implement labor education in the new era, and also an important measure to cultivate the core competency.The trends of international curriculum reform and development, the demands of cultivating students' labor competency in an all-round way in the new era, and the practical problems facing the school labor curriculum all require the development of labor curriculum design directed at the core competency.There are at least two approaches to the labor curriculum design oriented to core competency, namely direct guidance and indirect integration.The former one is the overall control approach.According to the overall framework of the core competency, the contribution of labor education in the core competency is clearly defined;subsequently the objectives and performance of the labor curriculum are formulated, so as to design the labor curriculum systematically.The latter one is a partial penetration approach which focuses on clarifying the correlation between core competency and labor education, and then penetrates into labor curriculum in a complementary form.A four-step framework is needed to implement the design of labor curriculum.It includes defining the connotation and elements of core competency for labor education, focusing on three fields to design labor education units, selecting the subjects and content of labor education around units, and optimizing labor curriculum through evaluation.

    ChatGPT, which has sparked widespread discussion in academia, is not just a simple human-machine interaction program, but a new type of intelligence with the ability to deeply imitate human thinking.This forces us to re-understand the complex relationship between humanities and science beyond the “free will” of humanism.From the paradigmatic dimension, humanities scholarship is already an organic component of the scientific system, but from the ontological dimension, humanities scholarship always determines the fundamental attributes of science, thus producing an inherent role in guiding science.Therefore, no matter how AI evolves, it cannot replace humans in making moral judgments and assuming corresponding responsibilities, nor can it confirm human subjectivity and systematically explain and explore it.At best, it is only a revolutionary extension tool of “digital humanities”.Therefore, the real important problem is how to use generative AI technologies such as ChatGPT to further construct a “future paradigm” of human-machine collaboration for exploring the dynamic relationship between knowledge origins and different problem domains:“Classical Allusion Studies”.

    Based on the idea that “digital humanities” aim to “redefine, raise and answer questions about humanities”, the future construction of China's ancient map data platform should include more new historical materials and more information related to ancient maps based on the key questions faced by ancient map research.In addition to the information related to ancient maps, the data structure should be oriented to historiographic issues, and at the same time should focus on establishing links with other data platforms and providing analysis tools needed by ancient maps and historiographic research, so that hot and critical historiographic issues such as the change of ancient Chinese territory and the transmission of information in governmental affairs can be explored.Moreover, the above design idea is not only applicable to the construction of the ancient map data platform, but also to the construction of many data platforms for “digital humanities”, thereby ultimately realizing the “digital humanities” in a real sense and promoting the development of academic research.

    It is generally believed that the establishment of the classic status of Nineteen Ancient Poems started from The Selected Works.Since the emergence of the anonymous “ancient poetry” in the late Han Dynasty, its canonization process has gradually begun.The imitation poems by poets in the Six Dynasties fully reflect the highly enthusiastic acceptance of later generations, and also highlight their unshakable classic status from the side.In the process of successive simulations, the authors with diverse identities showed their wide participation.The imitation poems of the gentry class represented by LU Ji made a preliminary “construction” of its classical status.The imitation poems of the humble scholars such as TAO Yuanming, BAO Zhao deconstructed and derived the classics advocated by the gentry class.The integration of the gentry class and ordinary people in the Qi and Liang period led to the reconstruction and the production of group works.The classic journey of Nineteen Ancient Poems is a complex cycle of “construction-deconstruction-reconstruction”.The status of classics is constantly changing, and it is the product of the differentiation and adjustment of scholars as well as the game of many social and cultural forces.It should be of typical significance to explore the canonization of Nineteen Ancient Poem from the perspective of the imitation poems by the medieval scholars.

    The writing of Lian Ju is the driving mechanism of the development of HAN-MENG poetry school and an important representation of the strange poetry style.For a long time, opinions have gathered around Shi Ding Lian Ju, which directly affects the complete cognition of HAN-MENG poetry school.Considering the history of the interpretation of Shi Ding Lian Ju, the research path of ZHU Xi-WEI Yuan is quite valuable.Through statistical analysis, it is not difficult to see the unique stylistic characteristics and the meaning space full of political irony and human reflections in HAN Yu's Lian Ju.The poem Shi Ding Lian Ju is highly consistent with the characteristics of HAN Yu's Lian Ju, so the author, event and writing time of Shi Ding Lian Ju can be confirmed one by one.It can be seen that Shi Ding Lian Ju not only faithfully inherits the creation style of HAN-MENG poetry school, but also has a great development.This poem breaks through the basic pattern of two-person's creation, and breeds the structural change of HAN-MENG poetry school and the wonderful opportunity of its integration and development with the ancient prose movement.It can be described as a major turning point in the last decade of HAN-MENG poetry school.

    “West-centered theory” in the field of world history is a dominant view of world history that first arose in Europe in the 18th century and has influenced the international academia since the 19th century.As an academic viewpoint and research perspective, “west-centered theory” evolved into a form of academic fundamentalism, ethnocentrism, ideology and even political correctness.This view of history later has had a deep-rooted influence on philosophy and social sciences throughout the world.This article, taking the four stages of the evolution of the overall power contrast between the East and the West since modern times as a macro-historical clue, argues that the “west-centered theory” actually lacks historical basis.In this paper, the “orientality” and the “three systems” of world history have deeply been considered.We should continue to push forward the deconstruction of the “west-centered theory”, step by step, and work for a long time.We should focus on exploring the Chinese elements and Chinese connotation in the construction of the “three systems” of world history.The oriental factors in the construction of the discipline system of world history should be studied deeply.We should deeply examine the academic influence of the convergence of the great changes in the millennium and the great changes not seen in the century, and strive to open up the “three new aspects” in academic research.The author also puts forward some ideas on how to construct the “three systems” of world history.The article holds that it is incumbent on Chinese academia to insist on the “east-west balance theory” and the “global holism theory”, to establish the “three systems” of world history which are objective and scientific, balanced and inclusive.

    Examining the exchanges between Eastern and Western civilizations from a viewpoint of development and connection in the Silk Road study, Japanese scholars have proposed many helpful opinions such as “the Silk Road is a womb for world main cultures”, “Silk Road bears the seeking of doctrine”.They have emphasized the significance, role and value of civilization exchanges;they have explored the intersection between history and reality, and the links and interactions between different civilizations and regions;they have observed the evolution of everlasting exchanges that took place in oriental societies from an oriental historical perspective based on local materials.Japanese scholars' research on the Silk Road is extremely complex, with both relatively pure academic research and various efforts to serve practical policies.We should adopt a critical attitude to learn from the existing research achievements of the Japanese academia.We should not blindly imitate and worship them, nor should we adopt it in a Procrustean way.

    In the process of urbanization in the British society in the 19th century, there was a disparity between the rich and poor in the cities, and there appeared slums and impoverished areas such as the East End of London.As a result, charitable organizations such as the Peabody Foundation have built model dwellings to improve the awful living conditions of the poor in London.For this reason, many Peabody Square dwellings have been built, and multi-storied apartment buildings and public spaces in the central courtyard have been created.These low-cost, austere and sturdy complete apartments have created a kind of economical and practical housing model for the poor in London.Without considering the national, religious and political attributes of the beneficiaries, this type of dwellings combines the function of apartment housing rights with social moral construction, and ensures the sustainability of the fund from the very beginning.Although in the Peabody Apartments, there are many flaws which have drawn criticism from functionality to appearance, its achievements in providing social housing for London's poor are obvious to all.
