Special Zones and Chinese Road

	5	The Grand View of History on the Formation of XI Jin-ping’s Cultural Thought
		WANG Shuang-yin
		XI Jin-ping’s cultural thought is the theoretical crystallization of the combination of the basic principles of Marxism with the specific reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and is the essence of Chinese culture and Chinese spirit of the times. XI Jin-ping’s cultural thought adheres to the grand view of history and has its own internal generative logic: creating the modern civilization of the Chinese nation based on the excellent traditional Chinese culture with a long history; promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations based on the tide of the times of great changes unseen in a century; creating a new glory of socialist culture based on the great practice of the socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. The excellent traditional Chinese culture is the root and soul of the Chinese nation. In order to create the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must grasp the outstanding characteristics of the Chinese civilization, adhere to the “two combinations”, and ultimately help the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. In face of great changes unseen in a century, promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations is an inevitable choice for inheriting history, an inevitable requirement based on the present, and a spiritual guarantee for looking forward to the future. It is necessary to promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations by respecting the diversity of civilizations, equality among civilizations, and inclusiveness among civilizations. The new glory of socialist culture demonstrating the people-centered value orientation, firmly grasping the leadership of ideological work, cultivating and practicing the core values of socialism, and building a socialist cultural power.

	14	Examining the Internal Unity of Chinese Civilization from the Differences between Chinese and Western Civilizations
		LIU Zhi-gang
		The differences between Chinese and Western ideas on the conflict of civilizations determine the different historical trends of Chinese and Western civilizations. In the history of Western civilization, although there was once the prosperity of ancient Greek civilization and the short-term unification of the Roman Empire, the historical norm of political division, ethnic division, religious and secular confrontation, geographical expansion is accompanied by the interruption of civilization, ethnic conflicts cannot be bridged, political communities are limited to local areas, and religion and secularity are mutually exclusive, reflects the logic of “division” of Western civilization. As the only civilization form that has been inherited for thousands of years and has never stopped flowing, Chinese civilization embodies the logic of “integration” because of its natural internal unity. Adhering to the common belief that “the land cannot be divided, the country cannot be chaotic, the nation cannot be dispersed, and the civilization cannot be broken”, Chinese civilization has not only shaped the national community of “one family under the world”, but also formed the national community of “Hua Yi Wu Wai”, the political community of “great unification”, and the cultural community of “pluralistic integration”. Because of its inherent unity, Chinese civilization, while maintaining the sense of geographical belonging and national identity of the Chinese nation, has accumulated the concept of national community of “Hua Yi unification” and the value criterion of “harmony is precious”; the great unification tradition of “Kyushu Coherence, Pluralistic Integration” and the eclectic spiritual temperament have cultivated the collectivism ethics of “home, country and world” of Chinese civilization.

Dialogue on Civilization and Cultural Comparison

	23	The Writing System of History of Chinese Literature in the Early West: Views on Literature History and Codification Method
		GU Ming-jia
		History of Chinese literature in the early west, with its unique extra-territorial standpoint and novel research perspective, presents different compilation ideas and theoretical analysis from that of domestic literature history writing, which provides useful experience for Chinese literature history writing, and has important academic value and significance. In terms of material selection, history of Chinese literature in the early west attaches great importance to the extract and translation of source documents, respects and includes a large number of Confucian classics, and has a pan-cultural vision of literature selection. In the view of literature, it not only follows the inherent literary concepts of ancient China, but also is influenced by the modern literary concepts of the West. It holds the view of Chinese literature as a whole, which takes Confucianism as the main body and political utility as the guide. In the view of literary history, it pays attention to the profound influence of external factors such as social history and dynastic politics on the development of literature. It holds that the dominant position of Confucianism leads to the fogyish and false characteristics of the development of Chinese literature. At the same time, it pays attention to exploring cultural factors and highly praises folk literature. In terms of codification method, it adopts the organizational framework of times, themes and genres simultaneously, starting from the Chinese language and characters, and taking background knowledge, author’s life and brief introduction of works as the main body of compilation, which embodies vagueness and popular characteristics.

	37	“Expelling Buddhism and Incorporating Confucianism” in Early Modern Japan:A Focus on Shintō Funerals
		TAN Tian-tian
		Edo Japan (also Tokugawa Japan, 1603-1868) was significantly influenced by Confucianism. During this time, the funeral and sacrificial rites outlined in ZHU Xi’s Family Rituals garnered intellectuals’ attention, and formed the basis for extensive research and practices. However, under the temple registration system, Buddhist temples monopolized funeral and sacrificial matters tied to Japanese people’s lives. To break free from this control, Shintō groups absorbed and adapted Confucian knowledge, constructing systematic Shintō funerals and sacrificial rituals. Early Yoshida school rituals retained some Buddhist influence, but pioneers like Yoshida Koretari and Yamazaki Ansai shifted focus to Confucian knowledge. They practiced funeral and sacrificial rituals based on Confucian rites, indicating a synthesis of Confucianism and rejection of Buddhism. To emphasize the purity and historical continuity of Shintō rituals, successors adapted Confucian-style spirit tablets to Shintō styles; or explained Confucian rituals by referring to Japanese classics, aiming to eliminate Confucian elements and revitalize ancient Japanese way of funerals or Shintō funerals—leading to the “Shintōization” of Confucian rites. Ultimately, the autonomy of the Shintō groups gave rise to the Shintō funeral movement in the late Edo period, becoming a source of movement of “abolishing Buddhism and destroying temples” in the early Meiji period. Confucian knowledge played a crucial role as a tool in constructing Shintō funerals.

	46	The Perspective of the OTHER and Standard Position:The Theoretical Origin and Logic Proving of the Problematic of “Chinese Identity”
		FU Cai-wu, LI Yue
		The problem domain of “Chinese Identity” has kept academic boom for both “Sinology” and “China Studies” for a long time. Under the background of globalization, “Chinese identity” has become the external proving to build a strong sense of a community for the Chinese nation. However, due to the differences between Chinese and Western cultural perspectives, the cognition of China in Western academic circles is based on the “OTHER” frame, forming a mirror image of “China’s identity”, which makes “Chinese identity” out of focus and misalignment. This is the theoretical origin of the problematic of “Chinese Identity”. Influenced by the above, the ethnic Chinese overseas, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions respectively form “Chineseness identity” and “the civilization-nation dyad’ identity” in logic proving of the problematic of Chinese identity in practice. “China’s identity” places the Chinese civilization-state in the counterpoint of the Western nation-state, “Chineseness identity” places the Chinese cultural tradition in the counterpoint of the group rights and interests, and “the civilization-nation dyad’ identity” places the national community of Chinese civilization in the counterpoint of the regional community of regional culture. The root cause of the mirror image of “Chinese identity” and multiple logic proving paths of the problematic of “Chinese identity” lies in the disharmony and separation among culture, nation and state identity. Only by questioning the OTHER from the problematic of Chinese identity, establishing the Chinese cultural standard position of “Chinese identity” and erecting the basic premise of the problematic of “Chinese identity” that national identity takes precedence over regional identity, can the authenticity of “Chinese identity” be restored, national subjectivity be reconstructed and the self-confidence in Chinese culture be built up. The “authenticity” of “Chinese identity” lies in the unity of cultural identity and national identity, with the trinity of “cultural identity”, “ethnic identity” and “national identity” as its core representation. The mutual nesting of civilization community and national community constitutes a unified and self-consistent logic proving of “Chinese identity”.

	59	The Transformation and Development of Cultural Memory Media in the Era of the Creative Economy
		CHE Da
		Cultural memory, as a dynamic construction that is intricately intertwined with media, society, and cultural situations, indicates the social dimension of human memory. The ways in which cultural memory are generated and constructed has been endowed with new contents and forms in the era of the creative economy. The Greimas matrix is skillfully applied in this field to analyze not only the mechanism of cultural memory construction but also the central role of media as the most active factor in constructing cultural memory. As cultural products transition from physical forms to digital dissemination, traditional cultural memory media represented by “rituals” and museums undergo digital transformation, while various forms of old media continue to provide a stable and authoritative foundation for cultural memory. New forms of media lead to the innovation of cultural communication. Creative industries, which express symbolic meaning and are commercial simultaneously, offer diverse storage methods for the reproduction of cultural resources. These approaches have renewed the paradigm of building cultural memory through the implications created by a more ubiquitous dissemination practice. The new media, which narrate official memory and popular memory in parallel, have a revolutionary influence on the storytelling approaches of cultural memory. Additionally, they constantly enrich the construction modes of cultural memory, providing a more popular and diverse space for expression, thereby promoting and enhancing highly interactive practices between official and social memory, as well as facilitating the formation of diverse interpretive perspectives. However, potential threats such as fake memory, information overload, digital divide, and digital ethics have emerged in the realm of cultural memory media, giving rise to new issues for further discussion.

	69	The Construction of Investment Protection System along the Belt and Road from the Perspective of Regional Security Public Goods
		HUANG He, LIU Yan-tong
		After ten years of development, the Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative has achieved substantial results. The B&R Initiative represents China’s wisdom and solution offered to the world, especially to many developing countries, based on its own realities. It has also become a popular regional public product and supply platform. In the face of the complex geopolitical landscape and the challenges arising from the inadequate effectiveness of international coordination mechanisms, international and regional security issues cannot be underestimated. Chinese companies investing in projects along the B&R, as part of the proactive“going global” strategy, are facing increasingly complex investment risks. These risks may hinder the normal operation of overseas projects, increase project costs, and necessitate a shift in focus for investment markets. To effectively mitigate various traditional and non-traditional risks and ensure the smooth progress of overseas project investments, it is essential to strengthen the construction of the investment protection system along the B&R and ensure the continuous supply of regional security public goods. On the one hand, it is necessary to establish a systematic category of institutional security public goods that respond to the actual needs of regional countries by establishing a long-term, effective, open, and inclusive regional security prevention mechanism. This mechanism should provide countermeasures for various possible contingencies. On the other hand, there is a need to shape a regional security perspective and introduce conceptual security public goods that can foster regional consensus, so as to strengthen cooperation and connections among countries at the ideological level. For the Chinese government and enterprises, in the process of promoting the construction of the investment protection system along the B&R,establishing effective channels for security dialogue with countries along the route is foundation, perfecting investment rules and security institutional framework is the core, strengthening risk management is a pillar, and enhancing communication and coordination among all participants is the key.

	79	The Logic and Effect of Digital Economy to Narrow the Green Development Gap between Cities
		ZHENG Wei, LU Yuan-quan
		Promoting urban green development and accelerating the green transformation of development mode are the due meaning of achieving high-quality urban development. The in-depth promotion of digital economy can provide important impetus for urban green development and provide new opportunities to realize green and coordinated development between cities. This paper takes digital economy as a key factor to be included in the spatial convergence model of urban green development, and empirically tests the effect and mechanism of digital economy on the green development gap between cities based on the data of 277 prefecture-level cities in China from 2012 to 2020. The results show that, after considering the spatial effect and urban heterogeneity, there is a conditional β convergence characteristic in China’s urban green development. In other words, the green development gap between cities gradually narrows and converges to the same steady equilibrium level. Digital economy helps to promote the spatial convergence of urban green development, which not only plays a positive function of narrowing the green development gap between cities, but also has a spatial spillover effect, which helps to narrow the green development gap of geographically adjacent cities. Digital economy improves the speed of urban green development through green technology progress, so as to narrow the green development gap among cities. However, the efficiency of green technology is not an important mechanism for digital economy to narrow the green development gap between cities. The spatial convergence rate of urban green development in central and western China is faster than that in eastern China, and the spatial convergence effect of digital economy on urban green development are more significant in central and western China.

	90	The Social Status, Realistic Dilemmas and the Optimization of Governance of Autism Children in China
		TANG Zhao-yun, LIU Ke-cheng
		As a large social group with mental disabilities in China, children with autism face many problems in their daily life and social participation. Manifested as insufficient investment at the national government level and weak external supervision; At the level of market economy, the rational thinking of “economic people” contradicts the concept of social service, and the standardization of the special education system is insufficient; Insufficient awareness at the family level, limited financial capacity, etc. To overcome the difficulties and dilemmas of the social problems of children with autism, it is necessary to optimize the social support and social security of the group of children with autism, so that the state (government), the market (society), and the family can work together to optimize and improve from five aspects: firstly, increase the funding investment of the state and local governments in specialized public schools for autism, and provide policy support and protection for the basic rights of children with autism; The second is to promote the establishment of “public and private” school institutions, strengthen the monitoring, management, and performance evaluation of private autism schools by the state and government; The third is to cultivate specialized teachers for autism, providing practical and feasible professional guarantees for the rehabilitation diagnosis, treatment, and educational intervention of children with autism; The fourth is to do a good job in building the employee system, avoid the situation of high mobility and difficulty in introducing, so that autism schools can “use the right people” and “use good people”; The fifth is to combine parents’ learning of relevant knowledge with increasing knowledge popularization in society, and improve the social public welfare service network and social assistance pattern.

	100	Ancient Chinese Natural Law: Expression, Characteristics and Reunderstanding
		SUN Kang
		The recognized meta-concept in ancient Chinese natural law is “heaven”, which has three expressions. The way of heaven is a natural law, Taoism is a relatively complete and pure representative of natural legal thought, wherein ZHUANG Zi discussed the proposition of “evil law is illegal” and other propositions related to the value of natural law, but had little influence on positive law. The doctrine of divine punishment is a political law, formed by DONG Zhong-shu, who fused Yin-Yang and Confucianism. The Yin-Yang school also implies a purer natural law. The doctrine of heavenly principle is a social law, abstracted by rationalists such as ZHU Xi, and shared by monarchs, officials, and the people, embodying Confucian natural law. Confucianism partly contains certain thoughts of natural law, which plays an important role in the substantializing of law. However, it is not accurate to regard Confucianism as all natural law, and then regard it as dualistic opposition to legalism, which is regarded as positive law. Although both Chinese and Western natural law originated from natural laws, the ancient Chinese natural law, with Confucianism as the carrier, neither developed an effective power balance mechanism to restrict the monarchical power nor evolved the theory of property rights to protect private rights in the process of transforming to human-centered “human law”. The basic national legal system was mainly built around the goal of maintaining the monopoly of monarchical power. The natural law component contained in Confucianism has limited instrumental rationality, and Confucian natural law as a whole has the defect of fragmentation. Ancient Chinese natural law has a profound influence on the ancient consciousness of law-abiding, and can also provide ideological resources for the concept of human destiny community.

	111	The Development Logic and Construction Path of Digital Intelligence in Legal Services Based on the Artificial Intelligence Generated Content
		YANG Li-min
		While renovating the operational scenario of legal service to a new stage, generative artificial intelligence also has a structural impact on legal professions both “instrumentally” and “conceptually”, forcing legal practitioners to face the transformation of professional roles and job attributes. From a functionalist perspective, it is no longer acceptable that we limit our stances and means to existing institutional systems and professional logic when probing into the status and role of generative AI in legal service. On the contrary, investigators ought to go beyond traditional and professional perspectives and “instrumental” positions, to understand the complex dynamics and uncertainties of the digital development of legal service, and to comprehensively examine the technical mechanism, industry feasibility and empowerment modes of generative AI’s application in legal service, and on the basis of which, to analyze the “de-skilling” phenomenon within legal professions that may be triggered by the “instrumental theory” psychology, and further explore generative AI’s role in reshaping the basic connotation, operational paradigm, group composition, market supply relationship, and other aspects of legal services. However, when examining the relationship between law and technology from a macroscopic view, it is obvious that generative AI remains far from completely replacing the legal profession group, as some fundamental issues inherent in its derivative logic and the inherent tension between AI technology and the inherent attributes of law have not yet been resolved. Empowering legal services with generative AI requires reconciling the attribute tension between the legal profession and intelligent technology at the national, professional, market, and technological levels, and paying attention to potential risks.

	121	Digital Economy, Digital Literacy, and Deep Citizenization of Rural Migrants
		ZHANG Yuan-qing, LIU Shuo
		The digital economy, with its characteristics of sharing and positive externalities, has shown a driving effect on the urbanization of rural migrants. Digital literacy has endogeneity, which helps to strengthen the path of deep urbanization with endogeneity. At the same time, there may be a “Matthew effect” in the development of the digital economy, leading to the problem of urbanization inequality within the rural migrants. Based on the CSS2019 data, from the perspective of social integration, multiple regression, Blinder—Oaxaca decomposition, and RIF regression were comprehensively used to explore the impact of digital economy and digital literacy on the deep urbanization of rural migrants and their unequal effects. The results showed that: (1) compared with urban residents, rural migrants scored significantly lower in the dimensions of economic integration and behavioral integration, while there was no significant difference in the dimensions of fair perception integration between the two. (2) The development of the digital economy and the improvement of digital literacy can help improve the level of deep urbanization of rural migrants, and the development of the digital economy can narrow the gap in social living standards between rural migrants and urban residents. (3) Digital literacy has played a weak positive regulatory role in the process of deep urbanization of rural migrants under the influence of digital economy. The development of digital economy has the risk of increasing the inequality of deep urbanization within rural migrants. (4) There are regional and intergenerational differences in the impact of digital economy and digital literacy on the deep urbanization of rural migrants. The development of digital economy in the central region has a relatively significant promoting effect on deep urbanization, while the impact of digital literacy in the western region is even greater; Digital economy has a greater promoting effect on the deep urbanization of the older generation, while digital literacy has a stronger impact on the new generation.

Humanities and Chinese Spirit

	132	Philosophical Interpretation of Marx’s Reconstruction of Labor Modernity
		LI Wei-yi
		The form of wage labor created by capital is the material force that opens the core and foundation of modernity. Adhering to the principle of finding the new world in criticizing the old world, Marx found that wage labor leads to the detachment of subjectivity in the anatomy of capital modernity, and demonstrated the existence ontology, production practice theory and historical dialectics of the reconstruction of labor modernity. Marx’s understanding of labor as a way of being for human beings transcends Hegel’s abstract understanding of labor, criticizes Feuerbach’s understanding of labor as a theoretical activity, takes perceptual activity as the core, breaks through the concepts of labor, practice and production, and expounds the existence ontology of the reconstruction of labor modernity. Aiming at the realization of the subject status of workers, Marx regarded the relationship between capital and labor as the key to opening modernity. Based on the revolutionary change of production practice, Marx found the way to subvert capital modernity and rebuild labor modernity in the history of labor development. The historical dialectics of Marx’s reconstruction of labor modernity include the historical materialism method which combines macro narrative and micro narrative, the political economy method which combines human anatomy and monkey anatomy, and the scientific socialism method which combines ideal category and reality category. In the new era, adhering to Marx’s thought of rebuilding labor modernity is conducive to promoting the Chinese-style modernization construction in which labor creates a better life.

	142	The Historical Configuration of Contemporary Literary Theory and Its “Inside and Outside”
		WANG Dan
		The history of literary studies in contemporary western literary theory is based on the conscious attention to language. In particular, the “language problem” raised by the linguistic criticism starting from the Russian formalism and the Anglo-American New criticism fundamentally determines its configuration process as an organic whole. Although the theoretical discourses presented in the form of “literary theory”, “theory”, “cultural research”, “anti-theory” and “post-theory” have their own opinions on the relationship between language and literature, there is a consensus that language research is the premise or basis of literary interpretation. However, due to the differences in the cognition of “language”, various critical theories interpret literature in different ways. Therefore, the study of language in contemporary Western literary theory has undergone a transformation process from focusing on language itself to focusing on language activities, and has been concretely externalized into the development of “language form research → language structure research → language activity research”. Returning to the “historical scene” and clarifying this “internal and external” connection between the historical configuration of contemporary Western literary theory and the evolution of linguistic criticism will not only help deepen the understanding of the meaning, function and depth of linguistic criticism, but also provide a certain reference for examining the “Sinicization” process of foreign theoretical knowledge and its products.

	150	The Body Imagination and Heterogeneity Aesthetics in the Narrative of Science Fiction Movies in the Context of Post Human
		LIU Yong-liang
		The development of network technology and virtual reality technology has brought space for humans to imagine and showcase themselves. In the world of virtual reality, various imaginations of human beings can be realized through artificial intelligence, thus foreseeing the future and marking the arrival of the post human era. In science fiction movies, the human body of natural life is replaced by the body of post human technology, the body of media, and the data-driven body. It can be the body of cyberborg, which coexists in various forms such as carbon based, silicon based, and virtual information programs. At this time, race, gender, and identity are all alienated. At this point, the “post human body” has greater inclusiveness, and in the virtual social landscape, the human body also becomes a part of the post human body. In science fiction movies, the narrative of post human bodies is described as heterogeneous bodies, exhibiting fragmented, anti linear, cross media, interactive, landscape oriented, and immersive narrative characteristics. The body imagination and narrative expression in science fiction movies have changed human thinking patterns and aesthetic concepts, breaking the traditional philosophical proposition of human subjectivity, and thus forming a heterogeneous aesthetics. Heterogeneous aesthetics relies on the development of material technology, but its aesthetic object is not a completely objective object. It is void and heterogeneous, and heterogeneous aesthetics emphasizes the process experience of human participation. It is experiential and ecological. It is an ecological encounter process of human existence.It can be seen that heterogeneous aesthetics is not only a transcendence of nihilism; It is also a continuation of ecologism.
