Analysis of the Progress and Trend of Research in Domestic Academia on Deng Xiaoping's Modernization Thought–Bibliometric Analysis and Visualization Based on CiteSpace XU Jianfei, WANG Wenjing 2024, 39(4):  18-30.  Abstract ( 8 )   PDF (2899KB) ( 5 )   Deng Xiaoping's modernization thought is a product of the combination of the universal truth of Marxism-Leninism and the modernization of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and is a valuable spiritual wealth of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Deng Xiaoping's modernization thought has systematically answered a series of basic questions such as “what kind of socialist modernization to build” and “how to build socialist modernization” for a country as economically and culturally backward as China. Since the reform and opening up, the study of Deng Xiaoping's modernization thought has been the focus and hotspot of China's theoretical circles, and fruitful results have been achieved. This paper finds that as of April 30, 2024, there are 308 papers on Deng Xiaoping's modernization ideology published in the China Academic Journals full-text Database and Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index, and 289 papers are excluded from the relevant useless literature after searching the CNKI database. In this paper, we use the visualization software citespace to measure and analyze the related papers, draw the keyword knowledge map draw the keyword knowledge map, and produces the research hotspots, evolution process and cutting-edge trend of Deng Xiaoping's modernization thought, vividly displaying the relevant research on Deng Xiaoping's modernization thought in domestic academic circles. These results can provide reference and example for further deepening the research on Deng Xiaoping's modernization thought. Related Articles | Metrics

Poetic Expression of National Unification: Centered on the Study of You Yunlong's Ding An Poetry Criticism LI Xiaoyun, LOU Pengyu 2024, 39(4):  31-37.  Abstract ( 8 )   PDF (1838KB) ( 8 )   The idea of national unification has had a profound impact on ancient and modern China. It is the practical experience and historical reflection of the political life of the community for the Chinese nation, and also a key source of legitimacy for political order. Structurally, the consciousness of unification or community encompasses three paradigms: meaning, practice, and aesthetics. The rigid practice, through the internal transformation of poetry and music education, is like a powerful vortex that draws modern Yunnan scholars into the common cultural memory of the Chinese nation, and You Yunlong's book Ding An Poetry Criticism is a classic aesthetic sample. It is worth noting that poetic discourse does not reflect a “static” view of poetic knowledge, but rather points to moral and political practice “after knowledge.” On the one hand, the book presents a poetic expression of national unification derived from the common cultural memory of the Chinese nation and, on the other hand, it demonstrates that political order is a natural result of ethical and moral individuals seeking goodness.

The Identity of the Chinese Nation, Ethnic Inter-Embedding and Popular Political Support–An Empirical Analysis Based on Guizhou and Yunnan DU Hongwen, YAN Ying 2024, 39(4):  38-48.  Abstract ( 16 )   PDF (1959KB) ( 10 )   The identity of the Chinese nation based on the national level has a significant impact on people's political support. Although there has been a wealth of research on the influencing factors of political support, few studies have linked the identity of the Chinese nation with Ethnic Inter-Embedding to explore the impact on political support. This study empirically examines the effects of Chinese ethnic identity and ethnic interlocking on people's political support using survey data from the research group in Guizhou and Yunnan provinces. The correlation results show that identity of the Chinese nation and Ethnic Inter-Embedding have a highly significant positive effect on people's political support. Further analyses reveal that ethnic interlocking plays a mediating role between the identity of the Chinese nation and popular political support, and that Ethnic Inter-Embedding has a stronger influence on popular political support than the identity of the Chinese nation. To carry out ethnic work in China, we should, therefore, further strengthen the equality and unity of ethnic groups, pay attention to social justice, and promote the interaction, communication and integration of ethnic groups, so as to better enhance the political support of the people in China.

The Impact of Living Arrangement on Rural Women's Fertility Choices–Based on the Two-Dimensional Perspective of Fertility WU Qiyu, LIU Dedi 2024, 39(4):  49-57.  Abstract ( 20 )   PDF (1910KB) ( 9 )   The issue of rural population is a key to rural revitalization. Based on data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), this study employs the instrumental variable method to investigate the impact of living arrangements on the fertility intentions and fertility behavior of rural women of childbearing age, and explores the heterogeneity of different population groups and the underlying mechanisms. Empirical results indicate that living with parents increases the fertility intentions of rural women and significantly promotes their fertility behavior. This influence varies across samples based on employment status and the age of parents. Further mechanism analysis demonstrates that living with parents affects the fertility choices of rural women by increasing the accessibility of household and economic support, as well as intergenerational transmission of values. Consequently, suggestions aiming to create a fertility-friendly environment including providing subsidies for cohabiting elderly individuals, enhancing medical and daycare services in rural areas and strengthening gender equality education can boost the confidence of rural women in childbirth and alleviate the declining fertility rates in rural areas.

A Perspective on the Group Landscape and Attribution of “Consumption Hitchhikers”in Generation Z Youth Groups YU Shuning, LIU Kaiqiang 2024, 39(4):  58-67.  Abstract ( 39 )   PDF (1855KB) ( 23 )   Along with the deepening of the focus on social experience among the youth of Generation Z, “consumer partners,” as a new type of social model that is detached from the traditional regionalization and complete humanization, is giving the youth group precise companionship in an efficient, convenient and self-satisfying way. The real picture of Generation Z youth “consumption partners” shows the consumption characteristics in terms of time and space change, mutual interests, emotional switching and general use of tools, which are different from those of the traditional interest groups. Driven by the combined forces of diversified fields, resonating identities, consistent hierarchies, and intersecting purposes, the young generation's popularity has been raised. An objective study of the current social types represented by “consumer hitchhikers” affirms that they provide positive externalities such as mutual companionship, break down social barriers, meet emotional needs, and enhance the consumption experience for the youth of Generation Z. Its development, though, should be viewed dialectically. Related Articles | Metrics

Research on the Influence of Political Efficacy on Youth Political Participation Behavior–An Empirical Analysis Based on CSS2019 Data RUI Lixuan, NAN Deqing 2024, 39(4):  68-78.  Abstract ( 18 )   PDF (1878KB) ( 9 )   As the psychological perception and subjective evaluation of participation in political life, political efficacy has an important impact on citizens' political participation behavior. Based on the data from the 2021 Comprehensive Survey of Social Conditions in China, this paper analyzes the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic political efficacy on the political expression, political election, and political rights protection behaviors of the current youth groups using a binary logistic regression model. The data analysis shows that if demographic characteristics, family economic level and Internet usage frequency are taken as control variables, intrinsic political efficacy has a significant positive effect on political expression, but not on political election or political rights defence; extrinsic political efficacy has a significant positive effect on political expression and political election, and a significant negative effect on political rights defence. Based on this, the sense of political efficacy of the youth should be further enhanced through strengthening ideological and political education, broadening political participation channels, and improving the government's responsiveness to continuously improve the sense of political efficacy of the youth, expanding the scale of the youth's political participation, and creating a harmonious and orderly atmosphere of political life.

Research on Urban Adaptation Actions in the Context of Resilient Governance–Taking Climate Change as Analysis Object ZHANG Qianming 2024, 39(4):  79-89.  Abstract ( 10 )   PDF (1907KB) ( 7 )   The goal of urban adaptation to climate change is to build a city that is resilient in terms of ecology, economy, and safety. In light of this, cities should establish adaptation action targets, conduct climate change assessments, and formulate adaptive plans to actively adapt to climate change. For emergency adaptation actions, it is necessary to continuously improve risk prevention and emergency response mechanisms, and use big data to promote the modernization of adaptation actions; for routine adaptation actions, attention should be paid to the impact of climate change on urban water safety and the heat brought by climate fluctuations on the urban living environment and public health, and effective measures should be taken to mitigate these effects. By taking active measures in emergency and routine adaptation actions, the resilience of the city can be continuously enhanced to ensure the welfare of the residents and the sustainable development of the city.

The Localized Construction of Contemporary Avant-garde Literary Criticism of China-Centered on Ma Yuan's Novel Criticism in the 1980s ZHAI Chuanxiu 2024, 39(4):  90-101.  Abstract ( 9 )   PDF (1835KB) ( 2 )   Literary criticism in the 1980s, especially the Avant-garde literary criticism, is often generally characterized as having the power to open up the vision of traditional criticism but merely drawing on modern Western literary theory, and mostly applying theory but ignoring traditional criticism methods. As a symptomatic case in the field of criticism in the 1980s, the discourse logic presented by Ma Yuan's novel criticism brings together the pluralistic and rich features of the avant-garde literary criticism in the 1980s, showing its creativity and dialogue orientation in the selection of theoretical resources as well as the nationality-specific and time-specific characteristics in discourse construction. From reading of the novel text to writing of the criticism text, Ma Yuan's novel criticism in the 1980s presents three different theoretical resource transformation strategies and discourse construction： 1） modern transformation of resources of classical Chinese culture; 2） contemporary application of Marxist literary theory; and 3） Chinese interpretation of Western modern literary theory. This shows the multi-faceted ideological creation of critics in the 1980s. Related Articles | Metrics

On the Physical Growth of Red Children in the Children's Novels of the “Seventeen Years” HE Yueyue, YU Na 2024, 39(4):  102-109.  Abstract ( 7 )   PDF (1768KB) ( 5 )   “Red children” was the dominant image in the children's novels of the Seventeen Years. As a product of proletarian discourse propaganda, the “Seventeen Years” novels integrated children's feelings and thoughts into the mainstream ideology of the country, qualifying them as the successors to socialism. Because of its prominent educational function, the interpretation of the image of the red children has long been bound up with political history to show a trajectory of transmutation that suits the characteristics of the times. The dynamic and complex growth of the children is singularly manifested in the enhancement of the characters' revolutionary consciousness and class awareness, while their external physical growth is obscured and their internal spiritual growth becomes the dominant orientation for analysing their value purpose. In the space of the revolutionary narrative, the body of the red children breaks the linear and closed growth in the past, presents the characteristics of growing together with the world and intermingling with the forward march of history, and realises the metamorphosis of the child to the young hero in the process of moving towards the revolution from the children's “playful” nature.

The Venture to Eat Globefish Even at the Price of Life and Its Significance in the Culinary History ZHAO Rongguang 2024, 39(4):  110-119.  Abstract ( 11 )   PDF (1830KB) ( 1 )   The author suggests a 3-stage development of the globefish-eating history of the Chinese people: 1) common folk “venturing to eat globefish even at the price of life,”; 2) the intellectual deeming it “worth trying even at the price of life,” and 3) eating globefish becoming commonplace among all people. In history, the common folk have always been the majority who ventured spontaneously to eat globefish, embodying the two-pointed meanings of primitive survival instinct and pursuit of gastronomic pleasure. Joining in of the elite class has nothing to do with survival, but with curiosity, sentimental stimulation and personality display at the beginning and pleasure to the palate later on. This course helped popularize globefish-eating. The author proceeds to explore the historical records about intoxication, prevention and disintoxication measures involved before pointing out the social causes underlying the historical limitation.; Related Articles | Metrics

On Historical Writing from Local Chronicles of Fujian Doctors in the Ming Dynasty QIU Ya, WANG Zunwang 2024, 39(4):  136-146.  Abstract ( 11 )   PDF (1794KB) ( 7 )   The old local chronicles of Fujian Province record a total of 308 doctors in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), showing the writing mode of ethics of medical origin, magical deeds of medical technology and Confucianism of medical ethics. Local chronicles transform the image of the same doctor and change the theme narrative through adding, deleting or changing the categories. Since the 14th century, the writing of medical biographies in local chronicles has basically followed the path of Confucianism and Immortalism, which determine that most of the medical biographies should selectively ignore the basic characteristics of medicine while emphasizing on the virtues and magic of physicians rather than on the technical characteristics.
