    The value system is the soul of modernization and determines the direction and path of modernization.Chinese-style modernization distinguishes itself from other types of modernization by its unique value system built on a “people-centered” basis,and constructs a new form of human civilization.The value system is a system formed by a series of value elements.The value scale and value criterion are the standards of measurement,the value orientation is the soul,the value pursuit is the goal,and the value realization is the means.They are interdependent and mutually supportive.On the basis of sublating the capitalist value orientation,Chinese-style modernization has formed the value orientation of “taking the people as its center” which is consistent with the purpose,original intention and mission of the CPC.The value pursuit of Chinese-style modernization is to build a socialist modernization power in an all-round way,realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,the harmonious unity of the country,society and citizens,build a community with a shared future for mankind,and realize the all-round development of human beings.The strong leadership of the CPC is the organizational guarantee for the realization of the value of Chinese-style modernization,the coordination of material civilization and spiritual civilization is the fundamental requirement for the realization of the value of Chinese-style modernization,the harmonious coexistence of man and nature is the quality guarantee for the realization of the value of Chinese-style modernization,and peaceful development is the international path for the realization of the value of Chinese-style modernization.

    Since the first generation of foreign Marxists such as Lukcs,the thought of totality has become an important basis for the later generations to criticize capitalist society and its ideas.In this process,important changes have also taken place in the totality thinking of foreign Marxists.In the Frankfurt School,on the one hand,the thought of totality is an important theme of their theory,and on the other hand,the reflection on totality pushes them to abandon the philosophy of identity and move towards philosophical thinking of non-identity.For the French Marxist Sartre,totality is a solidified existence,and the dialectic of Marxist philosophy emphasizes totality.The reflection on totality promotes the development of post-Marxist thought.How to construct a non-slavery and non-homogeneous totality has become their theoretical theme.The construction,deconstruction,and reconstruction of the thought of totality,on the one hand,embodies the contemporary evolution of Marxist philosophy,on the other hand,it also reflects the theoretical thinking of contemporary scholars when facing the changes of capitalist society.

    Dialectics originates from the actual needs of human beings to plan for survival.Through discourse rhetoric,logical reasoning and other forms,it participates in the historical process of people's life,refining and expressing human survival experience.Since ancient times,dialectics has won the solid content which it bases itself on and develops from in the process of solving the problems of the times.It is the content that promotes and leads the development of dialectics.The essence of the “Socratic method” is to transform the current life and construct new principles of the times.The “speculative dialectics” initiated by Plato examines things and clarifies thoughts in the way of “formal argument”.Hegel constructed the “speculative logic” to transcend the “logic of understanding” obsessed by Plato and others,express the “sense of history” in the context of abstract speculation,and show the essential requirement of dialectics to realize the “specialization of universal things”.Marx had a profound insight into the times when social historical creation factors were given priority,refused to interpret dialectic cognitive thinking from subjectivism and formalism,turned Hegel's “abstract-historical thinking” into “realistic-historical thinking”,and clarified the new realm of dialectics oriented by returning to the life world.

    Adorno's philosophy and Marx's philosophy finally meet in the field of “logical construction of individual subjectivity”,which focus on the future expectation of “individual subjectivity”.Based on the appeal to differences of “individual subjectivity”,the perspective of “experience” and the logical tool of “negative negation” in Adorno's philosophy actually regard Marx's view of “practice” as a kind of abstract rule,and strip the transcendental dimension of historical materialism,which fundamentally deny the possibility of the social construction of individual subjectivity.The final result is that Adorno's philosophy cannot surpasses “civil society”.Although it criticizes all forms of “identity” in modern society,Adorno's philosophy avoids the capitalist values embodied in these forms.

    Slavoj Žižek called his philosophy as “dialectical materialism”.In Parallax View,he proposed the theme of the revival of dialectical materialism,and in Less than Nothing and Absolute Recoil,he advanced his thinking about dialectical materialism.In Parallax View,Slavoj Žižek focused on the dialectic of parallax which is the dialectic that stresses the internal gaps,the internal minimum differences,and the internal negativity of things themselves.Using this dialectic to complement and define materialism is the premise of Slavoj Žižek's concept of dialectical materialism.In Less than Nothing,Slavoj Žižek discussed the void as nothing which is taken as the material basis of dialectical materialism,namely the material of the so-called dialectical materialism.In Absolute Recoil,Slavoj Žižek delved into the essence of dialectical materialism,that is,the thing retroactively determines itself,which is absolute recoil,and shaped the image of Hegel as a revolutionary,using it to understand the contemporary reality of society and interpret the historical development.

    This paper takes China's A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen in 2013-2019 as a sample to study the impact of digital transformation on business operating risk and its mechanism of action.The research has found that digital transformation has a significantly negative correlation with business operating risk,that is,digital transformation can effectively reduce the related risk.After carrying out a series of sensitivity tests,the above conclusions still hold good.Further analysis of mechanism of action has shown that the internal control quality,information transparency and enterprise innovation are important intermediary channels for digital transformation to affect business operating risk.The study has also found that,compared with non-state-owned enterprises,the negative impact of digital transformation on business operating risk is stronger in state-owned enterprises,and that the better the local market environment is,the smaller negative impact of digital transformation has on business operating risk.

    Based on the framework of “environment-effort”,this paper quantifies the urban-rural differences from accessibility,equity and equitable accessibility of higher education,and uses different decomposition methods to explore the causes of urban-rural differences.The results have shown that the college enrollment expansion has led to the varying degrees of improvement of the accessibility,equity and equitable accessibility in urban and rural areas.Among them,the change range of urban and rural areas is larger,and the benefits brought by the expansion of college enrollment have better been enjoyed by urban groups,which has further widened the gap between urban-rural accessibility and equity.Further analysis has shown that the inequality of higher education opportunities caused by hukou has not weakened significantly with the continuous college enrollment expansion.The scale effect brought by the expansion of college enrollment has taken the first place,followed by the equalization effect brought by the improvement of opportunity equity.The structural effect brought by the difference of environmental factors themselves is smaller,which has limited the improvement of the comprehensive index of equitable accessibility of rural residents.

    The essential attribute of global competence is reflected in the fact that OECD and the United States hold the international discourse power of global competence.The promotion of global competence aims to consolidate the competitive advantage of Western societies in the globalization,including cultivating the elite class who will master the international discourse power in the future,spreading and penetrating the western globalization ideology,and realizing the globalization of capital and the maximization of benefits.Global competence is anchored by neoliberalism and human capital value orientation,and features obvious economic orientation and tool attributes.We must rationally and vigilantly examine the ideology hidden behind the global competence advocated by western society and the value penetration of liberal capitalism,uphold the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind,adhere to the cultural self-confidence and sustainable development concept,and take root in traditional Chinese culture to build a theoretical system of global competence education with Chinese characteristics.

    Vermeer is a leading artist in the Dutch “Golden Age”(the 17th century),whose artistic style reflects the profound transformation of Western art from the classical to the modern.Vermeer focuses on the everyday life in which he lived,choosing family members or neighbors as models,and using his home as a studio.These seemingly simple phenomena contain the significance of complex modernity.Although a few works by him have survived,Vermeer's characteristic individual style marks a transmutation of art,from a classical form based on the literary narratives of religion,mythology and historical stories to the modern art emphasizing visuality and its experience.In this sense,Vermeer has initiated a modern trend of representing modern everydayness.

    The empirical method in art history is a research approach that seeks empirical effects through reliable art historical evidence,including historiography,philology,archaeology,data science,etc.and holds a fundamental position in the research methodology of art history.Art historical source study relies on art historical sources to conduct research,while art historical philology uses relevant literary knowledge to prove or support new understanding.Art historical archaeology means studying the relationship between artifacts and artworks based on actual archaeological remains and relics obtained through fieldwork.Art historical data science uses quantitative analysis,electronic computer data statistics,or big data to obtain precise quantitative evidence and draw conclusions.Adhering to “empiricism” and “empirical spirit” is the basic principle of the empirical research method in art history.The empirical method in art history should strive for evidence-based,trustworthy,communicative,knowledgeable,and self-reflective research in the future.

    The study on Pre-Qin bronzes aesthetics is the logical evolution of Pre-Qin aesthetics from the interpretation of texts to the study of objects.As an artifact form of aesthetic activity,within a meaning system of the isomorphism of human and gods,the production and use of Pre-Qin bronzes took on two logical forms:“communication with gods” and “decorating the dead as they were when they were alive”.They are both delimited and interlinked,that defining and constantly shaping the spiritual connotations and aesthetic qualities of the aesthetic subject.When the Zhou Dynasty overthrew the Shang Dynasty,the divine power and kingship were reconfigured within the framework of the “Mandate of Heaven”,and the kingship previously as a recessive force had gradually replaced the divine power to become the explicit force shaping the aesthetic orientation of bronzes.The change of the relationship between human and gods,and the discourse reconstruction of the “Mandate of Heaven depending on virtues but not on bronzes”,not only meant the end of the historical mission of bronzes,but also formed the ideological background against which the Pre-Qin aesthetics rethought and questioned the relationship between Heaven and man.

    The inscriptions of Zeng Gong Qiu Bell are of great academic value on the study of the concept of the Mandate of Heaven,the enfeoffment system,and the historical facts of the establishment of the Zeng State in the Zhou Dynasty.The history of the appointment of Bo Shi (the high ancestor of the Zeng State) and the establishment of the Zeng State in the southern Zhou by the ancestor of Nangong in the early Western Zhou Dynasty are recorded in the inscriptions of Zeng Gong Qiu Bell.This historical record is the same as the concept of the Mandate of Heaven that is often found in the documents of the Zhou Dynasty and embodied in the appointment of King Wen of Zhou and the establishment of the state by his successor of the King Wu.This provides important historical materials for the study of the concept of the Mandate of Heaven in the Zhou Dynasty.The enfeoffment system and the establishment of the Zeng State,which was to defend the Zhou Dynasty,as recorded in the inscriptions of Zeng Gong Qiu Bell,especially the history that Zeng was appointed as one of the vassal states and was allocated of the soil of Bo She of Yin and established the system of Bo She in the Zeng State,all can be read in contrast to the documents.Moreover,the inscriptions record the facts that the ancestor of Nangong was appointed as Zhou Mu and was “involved in the politics of Huaiyi”,providing new historical materials for understanding the Zhou Mu system in the Western Zhou Dynasty and its rule over Huaiyi.According to the Southern Expedition of the King Zhao assisted by the Marquis of Zeng,recorded in the inscriptions of Zeng Gong Qiu Bell and the archaeological findings in the cemetery of Yejiashan in Suizhou,Hubei Province,it has been known that Kang,the Marquis of Zeng,is the owner of the tomb M111 of Yejiashan.

    The knowledge communities,discussing and suggesting the reform and abolition of civil examination during late Qing Dynasty,still included intellectuals who were being promoted through the examination channel.These candidates actively participate in the form of writing on the paper and didn't passively accept relevant government decrees as researchers usually thought.The abolition of examination is usually regarded as a reckless move,but actually there was a compact and advancing gradually evolutionary context if studying from the central reform of examination in Xinchou and governors' proposal of derating design on examination,to the introduction of derating design policy and the launch of central decision-making on abolition of examination about Jiachen.The intellectual group's writing not only objectively cooperated with the governors' proposal of derating design to take root and produce actual result,and its effect also continued after the abolition of examination and had the illocutionary use beyond examination that touched the political decision-making and social thought.
