    Theodor Adorno has profoundly influenced western philosophy and critical theory of society in the 20th century. As approaching the 120th anniversary of Adorno's birth,we should,in general,evaluate Adorno's contribution to Marxist philosophy in the 20th century from the standpoint of China. Specifically,firstly,Adorno and Horkheimer jointly proposed a historical-philosophical meta-critique of capitalism,which completed the transformation of critical theory of Marxist capitalist society in the 20th century. Secondly,Adorno proposed the “negative dialectics”,which gave Marxist philosophical materialism a new and far-reaching form in the 20th century. Thirdly,Adorno made a strong Marxist criticism of the mainstream of modern German bourgeois philosophy,from Hegel to Heidegger. Fourthly,Adorno proposed a new theory of philosophical aesthetics that provides a Marxist answer to the question of the relationship between modernist art and truth.

    As a tool for the British Empire to maintain its rule,the tropical medicine emerged in 1898,which was marked by the establishment of the schools of Tropical Medicine in London and Liverpool. The development of tropical medicine is closely related to the prevention and treatment of tropical diseases during the expansion period of the British Empire. In the early 20th century,British colonial secretary Joseph Chamberlain and medical experts took a series of measures to prevent and treat tropical diseases in the British West Africa,including anti-mosquito campaigns,public health reforms and housing segregation,which achieved certain effects and improved the condition of the disease epidemic in British West Africa. In 1939,with the outbreak of World War Ⅱ,the prevention and treatment of tropical diseases was suspended.

    Quarantine is important measure of public health to deal with emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. In the 18th and 19th centuries,the British Parliament passed a series of quarantine acts,which stipulated in detail the quarantine period,places,methods for ships arriving in Britain,and the punishment for violators. However,the effectiveness of these acts has been questioned,because the quarantine measures were effective in dealing with the spread of the plague,but they were not that effective in dealing with cholera and other infectious diseases. Accordingly,the quarantine acts were increasingly criticized during the second half of the 19th century and were eventually abolished. The reasons for their abolition include the costs of quarantine,the hindrance to commerce,and the enforcement problems of the quarantine acts,such as frequent changes in laws and the severity of the penalties.The most important reason for abolishing the quarantine acts,however,lies in the increasing conflicts with the idea of free trade in the UK. Whether the British government adopts or abolishes the Quarantine Acts,it is the result of the game between medical considerations and economic interests.

    In 1872,the British Parliament passed the Food,Drink and Drugs Amendment which is the first law in British history to regulate food and drugs together. A number of factors contributes to the passage of the Act of 1872 which inherits the principles of the Food and Drink Adulteration Prevention Act of 1860 and the Pharmacy Act of 1868. It had increased penalties for violations of the law,further clarified the responsibilities of enforcers and made the enforcement of the act mandatory. Although there are some defects in the Act of 1872,which leads to poor implementation effects,the judgement made by the Court of Queen's Bench based on the act gave it new meaning,that was to establish the principle of presumption of fault liability in the food field,and initially changed the concept of justice that had existed in Britain for hundreds of years.

    Both from the perspectives of classical literature and modern cultural anthropology,dance with musical accompaniment is regarded as the original form of literature and art. This genesis originates from the widespread use of dance with musical accompaniment in primitive witchcraft activities and from the reconstruction of history by modern artistic ideals. In the Chinese classical literature,this origin is revealed by the accounts of the miracles of dance with musical accompaniment,such as the “All Animals Dance” in Yuxia Shu in Shang Shu. Therefore,the study of such miracles has become the key to clarifying the origin of Chinese art history and reconstructing its historical process. As far as Yuxia Shu in Shang Shu is concerned,it is clear that the “All Animals Dance” is a pre-ritual and musical form of Chinese art,which represents the artistic peak that could be achieved in ancient dance with musical accompaniment. Its evolution from witchcraft to ritual music provides an orderly clue to understanding the history of ancient Chinese art,that is,from “interrelationship between music and divine power” to “interrelationship between music with political power”. The relation between the form of dance with musical accompaniment and the system of ancient sacred monarch has led to a result that the dance with musical accompaniment has been regarded by later generations as a manifestation of a bygone golden age,thus being repeatedly recalled and sanctified. In this way,the origin of art history has become its goal for future at the same time.

    Auspicious omens are an important issue in the academic research from the Pre-Qin Period to the Han Dynasty,and aesthetics is no exception. Auspicious omens were formally formed based on the concept of the “Nature and Human” in the Han Dynasty,and as an “image”,it should be interpreted as “Image of the Nature and Human”. From the perspective of the history of the Han Dynasty,the auspicious image is fully manifested in three dimensions including time,space and etiquette:Firstly,the auspicious image is the main hallmark of the time or historical narration of the Han Dynasty,providing the history of the Han Dynasty with the characteristics of imagination and aesthetics. Secondly,in the spatial experience,the auspicious image involves both the parallel dimension (site selection of the capital,the naming of palace,structural decoration,etc.) and the vertical dimension,that is to present its own mobility between the Nature and Human through high-rise buildings and suburban sacrifice poetry. Thirdly,the auspicious image is an integral part of the Fengshan ritual and the tribute system,thus constructing the concept of World (Tianxia) at that time. Finally,an aesthetic world with the theme of auspicious omens is presented,which not only contributes to the advancement of aesthetics of the Han Dynasty,but also provides a new clue for insights into the evolution of aesthetic thoughts in the Period of the Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties,and later.

    As an important form of works,“body image” largely embodies and represents the artistic practice style of the female artist group. The “self-portraits” created by Chinese contemporary female artists are influenced in a complex fashion by the metaphorical concept of body culture,and their subjectivity and body images are in a state of rupture. The body schema of contemporary Chinese females turns to “self-image”,which establishes the subjectivity of female artists' self-knowledge and autonomy,expounding the interweaving of “self” and “world”. However,female artists are bogged down in paradoxical predicament on the issue of the differences between female individuality and human commonality,which leads to the representational cramps of their body images. How to incorporate heterogeneity into the creation of body images and generate the universal value of image culture is a challenge facing female artists group.

    Agamben absorbed Aristotle's concept of “non-potentiality” into the ideological structure of his “voice ethics”,and thereby created a language device that resists signification and its another path of biopower also constitutes his unique ethical strategy.His research approach is reflected in:firstly,to search for effective strategies to get out of semantic cultural tailoring in the “infant” experiment of “losing voice”,and to prevent the violence of “hearing” by listening to “silence”.Secondly,the introduction of the category is intended to illustrate that it is ineffective to commemorate some special and important tragic historical events by means of words and incomplete memories,and the “amnesia” function inherent in language itself can make people in the “silence of sound”.“Remember” those events that are about to be forgotten.Thirdly, to use the unique concept of “missing”,which proves that some ordinary “subjects” are just accidental and temporary by exploring the real position and function of the subject in the text,however,precisely because of the randomness and temporary nature of the recording,the “silent voice” has been continuously “heard” by later generations.The fourth is to look for “silent voices” and “forgotten memories” from exemplary video methods such as nymphs,dance,and photography,so as to “implode” “sound escape lines” in the maze of word installations.

    Compared with previous technological revolutions,intelligent revolution can not only improve labor productivity,but also realize the integration of production and consumption based on intelligent technology. The essence of intelligent manufacturing is accurate and efficient supply-demand matching based on data elements and digital technology,to achieve personalized customization of the production process,and finally to resolve,to a certain extent,the contradiction between unlimited development of production capacity and limited consumption through “integration of production and consumption” to overcome overproduction. The “integration of production and consumption” presents a trend of fuzzy boundary and cross-border integration at micro,medium and macro levels which is embodied in flattening the “smile curve” of product value chain,gradual breaking of enterprise boundaries,and the integration of manufacturing and service industry.

    Technological progress can be a considerable driving force to promote the development and reform of the financial industry and encourage the high-quality development of economy in China. Especially in digital economy era,FinTech 3.0 can optimize the resource allocation in financial industry,innovate the payment and settlement format of the financial industry,improve the efficiency of information collection and transmission,optimize the risk management mode of the financial industry,and provide new possibilities for the financial industry in the form of “financial LEGO”. At the same time,FinTech can help China's economic transformation by helping the high-quality development of the real economy and promoting the construction of digital industry infrastructure. While strengthening the strategic deployment of FinTech and promoting the sustainable development of FinTech,it should also attach importance to risk management and prevention and control related to FinTech,and the establishment of a regulatory system of financial industry in digital economy era.

    “Fengqiao Experience” is an original governance experience rooted in socialist culture with Chinese characteristics under the leadership of the Communist Party of China,with distinctive Chinese characteristics,practical characteristics and the characteristics of times. To uphold and develop the “Fengqiao Experience” in the new era,it's crucial to thoroughly study and implement XI Jinping Thought on Rule of Law of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era,and refine the rule of law value of the “Fengqiao Experience” as a model of the socialist education movement,an example of comprehensive management of social security and a new practice of the modernization of community-level governance in the great historical process of the construction of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics. At the same time,being aimed at the difficulties and key points in the construction of a society ruled by law,it's critical to solve the conflict between social norms and laws,crack the dilemma of trusting the letters and visits rather than laws,and apply comprehensive mechanism for multiple prevention and mediation of conflicts to provide a guarantee for solid foundations,stable expectations and long-term benefits,so as to demonstrate the theoretical character and contemporary value of “Fengqiao Experience”,solve social contradictions,stabilize social order,and stimulate social vitality.

    Inter-disciplines in colleges and universities are the product of human cognitive development and the complex social needs. As the undertaker of the three functions of talent training,scientific research and social services,colleges and universities are the most important field of interdisciplinary education practice. From the system view,based on the chaos theory,the mechanism of interdisciplinary development in colleges and universities can be explained as three aspects:Based on the “initial value sensitivity”,it is necessary to attach importance to the status of conventional disciplines and give consideration to both foundation consolidation and pioneering innovation;Based on “non-equilibrium and non-linearity”,it is necessary to break the regular trend of discipline development and focus on both practical application and research;Based on “fractal and self-organization”,it is necessary to follow the principle of discipline construction and have both branch bearing and decentralization. According to the above mechanism,interdisciplinary education in colleges and universities is still facing difficulties in curriculum design,teaching and research teachers and training methods. Therefore,we should grasp the triple logic in educational practice:Based on endogenous logic,the knowledge guarantee of curriculum integration should be constructed;The optimization and integration of teachers should be promoted with symbiotic logic as the key link;The positive interaction with social resources should be promoted with exogenous logic as the source.

    This study found that since the central government vigorously promoted the development of preschool education in 2010,the level of family preschool education cost sharing has gradually decreased.However,while the level of household sharing has fallen in most provinces,regional differences have been widening.Further analysis of the reasons can be found:First,the level of family preschool education cost sharing shows an “inverted U-shaped” trend that first rises and then declines with the increase in income.Second,the financial resources and efforts of local governments are negatively correlated with the level of family cost sharing.Third,transfer payments from the central government have a significant effect on reducing the level of household cost sharing.Fourth,the effect of increasing the supply of public gardens on the level of family cost sharing is likely to depend on the supply strategy of public kindergartens.Fifth,the level of family preschool education cost sharing shows a phenomenon of “central bulge”,which is heavier in the central provinces,and lighter in the eastern and western provinces.The lack of local government financial resources is a key factor.The future financial system reform of preschool education needs to improve the investment mechanism,increase the government investment,and reduce the level of family cost sharing,strengthen coordination by provincial governments,increase transfer payments from the central government to preschool education in the central region,and narrow the differences in household cost sharing among provinces.

    The belief in social mobility is a powerful endogenous driving force for adolescents from out-of-poverty families to strive upward,create a better life and realize the value of life. It is also an important foundation for rural revitalization and common prosperity in China. The aim of this study is to strengthen and enhance the social mobility belief of adolescents from out-of-poverty families in China. By reviewing the latest literature both at home and abroad,this study introduces the connotation and characteristics of the social mobility belief,systematically sorts out the positive role of the social mobility belief in promoting individual development,and puts forward the protective role of the social mobility belief in coping with various potential risks. Besides,the dynamic mechanism of the social mobility belief is discussed from the perspective of growth mindset and identity theory. To stimulate the social mobility belief and exert its important function to promote the development of teenagers form out-of-poverty families,there are several key steps we need to take. First,we should focus on a variety of effective methods to improve adolescents' social mobility belief including optimizing the coordinated development of the society and family;Second,we should adhere to the comprehensive promotion of “ambition” and “intelligence” to integrate the social mobility belief and coping strategies (or skills) as a double-drive development model;and the third,we need to prevent the negative effects of the potential “double-edged sword” of the social mobility belief in advance.

    In today's society,the trend of “materialism” is growing. As individual preferences or values that emphasize the importance of owning material wealth,the exploration of its influencing factors and the underlying mechanism has become an important topic of concern in the field of social psychology. Starting from state boredom a general emotional experience of,this research has examined its influences on materialism and the psychological mechanism through three experiments. The results show that state boredom increases materialism (Experiment 1 and 2),and search for meaning plays a mediating role (Experiment 3). The research results provide empirical evidence for enriching the research perspectives and the manipulation paradigms of state boredom,exploring the causes of materialism from a dynamic perspective,reshaping the understanding of materialism.And at the same time,this research provide,ideas for explaining social phenomena,increasing commodity sales,and intervening in extreme material pursuits.
