A Genetic Investigation into the “Five Strategic Advantages” SU Yanchun, YANG Zehua 2024, 39(6):  1-9.  Abstract ( 10 )   PDF (1670KB) ( 4 )   The point of “Five Strategic Advantages” of General Secretary Xi Jinping is a concise summary of the favorable conditions in which our country currently finds itself. First, from the perspective of genetics, the theoretical starting point of the “five strategic advantages” is Marx and Engels’ view of social and historical conditions which provides a “cognitive tool” for evaluating the “strategic advantages” for the development of our country. Second, the historical premise of occurrence of these conditions is the correct application of Marx and Engels’ view of social and historical conditions by the Chinese communists and the active creation of favorable conditions for development in various fields at different times. Practice in these fields builds up to call for the occurrence of the “five strategic advantages.” Third, the current conditions for their occurrence result from the efforts of the Chinese communists to create and comprehensively grasp the development conditions of our country in the new era to provide real soil for the germination of the “five strategic advantages.” Understanding the generation of the “Five Strategic Advantages” from the perspective of genesis helps the Communist Party of China maintain strategic determination, seize historical initiative, and boost confidence in development.

A Study on City Shrinkage in Areas of Minority Ethnic Groups Bordering upon Myanmar in Southwest China MEI Ying, YANG Fei 2024, 39(6):  25-34.  Abstract ( 7 )   PDF (1729KB) ( 1 )   In recent years, cities in the ethnic areas of southwest China bordering upon Myanmar show a shrinking tendency. Moreover, border security is at risk and social development under threat. Generally speaking, it is the result of the combined effect of population aging, economic globalization, large-scale urbanization, turmoil in northern Myanmar and other issues. Therefore, to minimize the adverse influence of this tendency, local authorities need to abandon the concept of inertial growth, follow the natural law of rise and fall of cities, accept the tendency and act rationally–especially following the principles of smart shrinkage, targeted governance and integrated development–under the guidance of the philosophy of Chinese-style modernization and concept of novel urbanization characterized by the notion of “people first.” Related Articles | Metrics

On the Character of Self-reform of the Communist Party of China under the Comparative Perspective CHENG Junnian 2024, 39(6):  35-41.  Abstract ( 6 )   PDF (1630KB) ( 0 )   Bravery and readiness to reform itself is an intrinsic character of Marxist political parties and it is this prominent mark that distinguishes the Communist Party of China (CPC) from other political parties. In the theoretic system of the western political party discourse based on centralism, elements represented by number of parties and member identity do not constitute the core criteria to judge the quality of a party. When we analyze theories of the western centralist political parties and compare them with those of China, the character of self-reform is a pivotal distinguishing quality. Based on an introduction and a comparative analysis of the concept of self-reform of the CPC, it is found that the CPC has a strong sense of self-reform and its governance is characterized by long-termed periodicity, integrity and progression. From a long-term historical perspective, political parties with strong sense of self-reform is more resilient to survive long. Related Articles | Metrics

Moreover, it is an important guarantee for practice of the notion of “people’s city for the people.” Viewed from the perspective of typology, community governance guided by Party building constructs integrated commonwealth for community governance through categorization guided by Party building and categorization construction of the commonwealth of community governance. In other words, it is a way from “categorization” to “integration.” To promote construction of the commonwealth for community governance through Party building categorization is to, in short, guide construction of the commonwealth for community ideology with the commanding style, guide construction of the commonwealth for community policy with the dominant style, guide construction of the commonwealth for community negotiation with the negotiational style, and guide construction of the commonwealth for community autonomy with the autonomous style.

Implications and Suggestions on China’s Aesthetic Education Policy Based on the Use of Policy Tools ZENG Ying, ZHANG Weiqing, QIN Zongbi, PENG Lichun 2024, 39(6):  50-56.  Abstract ( 6 )   PDF (1724KB) ( 2 )   The aesthetic education policy in our country plays a decisive guiding role in school aesthetic education practice. Policy tools serve as the connecting mechanism between policy texts, goals and actions, providing insights into the causes of policies, grasping patterns, and better promoting the scientific development and improvement of national aesthetic education policies. This article collects and organizes aesthetic education policy literature from 1985 to 2022, analyzing 33 aesthetic education policy texts. Following a two-dimensional matrix analysis framework of “policy tools-policy content”, the current status of aesthetic education policies in China is presented through tool classification, text delineation, and policy encoding. The research reveals that current aesthetic education policies consist of three modules: “overall objectives, main tasks, and management guarantees.” These policies exhibit relatively limited use of “supply-type” policy tools, indicating room for improvement and adjustment. The impact generated by the use of “environmental-type” tools is more pronounced, suggesting the need for refining policy implementation guidelines. The use of “demand-type” tools is noticeably insufficient, indicating a need for strategies that enhance flexibility and precision. Related Articles | Metrics

The Postcolonial World from Children’s Perspective – Reshaping the “Self” in Killing a Mockingbird HU Ruirui, LI Zhifeng 2024, 39(6):  90-97.  Abstract ( 10 )   PDF (1765KB) ( 5 )   The postcolonial theory, as a perspective, has a kind of openness to integrate with other perspectives, because the revelation of the postcolonial world is not for the purpose of preserving the past, but for reshaping the future. Taking novel To Kill a Mockingbird as an example and focusing on the special connection between the child’s perspective and postcolonial criticism that has been overlooked in previous research, this article uses the child’s perspective to remove and transcend the postcolonial theory of binary opposition. In fact, with the help of a child’s perspective, the colonial world was able to re-reconsider its complex human nature and social relationships, which also meant that people in colonial history regained themselves, freed themselves from the colonial discourse of the original world, and gained growth. The childlike mockingbird is a breaking fog lamp for the new self to achieve transcendence over the old self, providing an opportunity for the conflicting self to make new value choices, soothing the hurt and insulted souls of the past, and truly achieving reconciliation and harmony with the old self and the old world.

Spatial Writing: The Imagination of Rural Order in Zhao Shuli’s Novel Liu Erhe and Wang Jisheng YAN Peiru, LUO Wenjun 2024, 39(6):  98-108.  Abstract ( 4 )   PDF (1741KB) ( 1 )   Zhao Shuli’s novel Liu Erhe and Wang Jisheng presents the complex reality of rural issues before the founding of the People’s Republic of China by focusing on three rural spaces: the childish games in the “Triangular Ping” alluding to the unequal relationships in the adult world; the “reasoning” in the Guandi Temple exposing the shortcomings of the village political system; and the “turning over” of the co-operative pointing to the unequal sharing of benefits resulting from the incomplete reforms. While Zhao Shuli was crafting his narrative across three distinct spaces, he subtly wove within it the quest for the autonomous and self-aware political potentiality of the peasantry, nurturing it as a transformative force. His literary vision of rural order diverged from the historical realities of the countryside during the transitional period, yet he refrained from adopting simplistic solutions and terminated the development of the story instead. So Liu Erhe and Wang Jisheng presents an “unfinished” state, which, far from becoming a shackle, gave rise to Zhao Shuli’s ideological grapple, prompting him to immerse himself in the practice of historical reality. At the same time, it also promoted a leap in the novelist’s creative thinking. Related Articles | Metrics
