Regional coordinated development is a crucial aspect of China’s regional economics and an important manifestation of Chinese-style modernization. Industries serve as the primary vehicle for achieving this goal, and in the era of digital economy, industrial development must be guided by data and information. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed improving the institutional mechanisms for deep integration between the real economy and the digital economy, as well as enhancing the strategic mechanisms for regional coordinated development. The 2024 Central Economic Work Conference explicitly called for actively applying digital and green technologies to transform and upgrade traditional industries, while enhancing the innovation capabilities and radiating effects of economically advantaged regions. Based on the reality that China’s four major regions are at different stages of development, this study uses the entropy method to conduct an empirical analysis of factor innovation, industrial digitization, and regional coordinated development levels across 31 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) from 2003 to 2023. Given that China’s digital economy entered a mature phase starting in 2013, factor innovation is taken as the explanatory variable, regional coordinated development level as the explained variable, and industrial digitization as the mediating variable. High-quality talents, regional economic foundations, urban-rural disparities, and government support are identified as control variables. A difference-in-differences approach is employed to analyze the relationships among these three factors from 2013 to 2023. The findings reveal that: 1) Factor innovation, industrial digitization, and regional coordinated development have reached relatively high levels in major urban agglomerations such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, Shandong Peninsula, Central Plains, the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River, and Chengdu-Chongqing, with industrial chains serving as the link for inter-agglomeration industrial division. 2) Technological innovation drives the development of new quality productivity, but industries dominated by traditional production factors still account for a significant proportion. 3) There is a structural imbalance between the supply of high-quality talent and the demand for industrial digitization, particularly constraining the digitization of the secondary industry. 4) Government support exhibits mismatches in promoting industrial digitization through factor innovation to advance regional coordinated development, thereby affecting the effectiveness of a proactive government in guiding the construction of an efficient market. 5) Considering both the east-west and north-south dimensions, a virtuous cycle of factor innovation, industrial digitization, and regional coordinated development has formed in North China, Central China, South China, and East China, where modern industrial systems are relatively well-developed, while other regions lag behind. Based on these findings, this paper proposes corresponding countermeasures: leveraging a proactive government to guide an efficient market; solidifying the foundation for factor innovation to drive industrial digitization and promote regional coordinated development; innovating human capital cultivation and development mechanisms to address structural talent gaps in implementing innovation-driven strategies; expanding technological innovation to cover the modern industrial system to comprehensively develop new quality productivity; and fully utilizing the advantages of the digital economy and industrial chains to refine industrial division and deepen industrial cooperation across the eastern, central, western, and northeastern regions.

The Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee stressed the need to build a high-level socialist market economy system and build a unified national market. Building a unified national market is the only way to leverage the advantages of China’s super large scale market, smooth economic circulation, and ensure the stable formation of a new development pattern. The digital economy not only injects strong impetus into the high-quality economy, but also greatly affects the market pattern, becoming an important force in the construction of a unified national market. Based on the analysis of the impact mechanism of the digital economy on the construction of a unified national market, this article uses panel data models and panel threshold models to empirically demonstrate the linear and nonlinear effects of the digital economy, as well as the indirect pathways of the digital economy through mediation models. The research results indicate that: firstly, the development of the digital economy is conducive to the construction of a unified national market; Secondly, both digital industrialization and industrial digitization have a positive impact on the construction of a unified national market. Compared to digital industrialization, industrial digitization has a significantly better promoting effect on the construction of a unified national market; Thirdly, the impact of the digital economy on the construction of a unified national market can be concentrated in three aspects: enhancing circulation performance, improving the business environment, and reducing trade costs. Based on the path test, it can be concluded that the digital economy has a positive impact on the construction of a unified national market through these three mechanisms; Fourthly, the contribution of the digital economy to the construction of a unified national market has its own threshold and a threshold for the level of construction of the unified national market. When the level of the digital economy is moderate, it has a higher degree of promotion for the construction of the unified national market. At the same time, when the level of construction of the unified national market is high, the promotion effect of the digital economy on the construction of the unified national market is more significant. In view of these research conclusions, countermeasures and suggestions are proposed from three aspects. Firstly, considering the strong driving role played by the digital economy, we should actively explore new paths to empower the construction of a unified national market based on the digital economy; Secondly, while consolidating the digital foundation, we should accelerate the promotion of two modernizations synergy to maximize the positive effects of the digital economy; Thirdly, unleash the momentum of platform economy development, optimize the digital business environment, and promote the sustainable and healthy development of the digital economy while leveraging its market integration benefits. On the one hand, in the context of the digital age, this study aims to clarify the effectiveness of the digital economy in the construction of a unified national market, incorporate both into a unified theoretical framework, systematically sort out the direct and indirect impact mechanisms generated by the digital economy, and provide new research perspectives and theoretical viewpoints for the construction of a unified national market; On the other hand, empirical tests are conducted to examine the positive impact and indirect pathways of the digital economy on the construction of a unified national market, providing empirical evidence and policy recommendations for fully leveraging the promoting effects of the digital economy.

In the context of the current accelerated evolution of the global economy, digital technology is increasingly becoming an important engine leading economic transformation and upgrading with its strong innovation driven ability and wide range of cross-border applications. As an important embodiment of new quality productivity, digital technology has not only profoundly changed the operation logic of traditional industries, but also provided unprecedented opportunities for the restructuring and innovation of cultural and tourism industries. The deep integration of digital technology and culture and tourism industry has promoted the iteration of culture and tourism consumption mode and the optimization of supply system, and has become one of the important ways to enhance urban economic toughness and enhance regional competitiveness. This paper first uses the entropy method to measure the digital technology and cultural tourism integration index of 284 prefecture level and above cities in China from 2011 to 2021, and explores the spatial-temporal differentiation pattern of their integration development level. Secondly, based on the dual perspectives of space and structure, Dagum Gini coefficient and variance decomposition method are used to investigate the size and source of the difference between urban digital technology and cultural tourism integration. Finally, the driving factors of the integration are revealed by using the method of geographical detector. The results show that: 1) The overall development level of digital technology and cultural tourism integration in China and the four regions as a whole has shown an obvious upward trend, but the spatial differentiation characteristics of digital technology and cultural tourism integration development among the four regions are obvious, and the spatial differences among the four regions show a distribution pattern of higher in the east, second in the middle, and lower in the west and northeast; 2) The spatial differentiation of the integration of urban digital technology and culture and tourism is mainly due to regional differences. The average difference between the eastern and central regions is the largest, while the average difference in the northeast region is higher than that in the eastern, central and western regions; 3) The main structure of the difference between digital technology and cultural tourism integration comes from the integration basis and scale; The contribution of integration basis difference is the highest in the central region, the contribution of integration scale difference is the highest in the eastern, central and northeast regions, and the development trend of integration efficiency difference is relatively stable in the four regions; 4) The explanatory power of the integrated development of digital technology and culture and tourism is in the following order: digital technology innovation>government support>economic development level>cultural development level>transportation infrastructure>ecotourism environment. Among them, digital technology innovation and government support are the leading forces of the integrated development of digital technology and culture and tourism; The development level of integration of digital technology and culture and tourism is affected by complex coupling of multiple factors. The best interactive factors are the level of economic development, government support and digital technology innovation. This study enriches and expands the evaluation scheme of the integration system of urban digital technology and culture and tourism, and provides an important reference for revealing the differential evolution of the integration of urban digital technology and culture and tourism in China, and exploring the two-dimensional collaborative improvement policy of space and structure.

Promoting the development of new quality productive forces is a key task and inherent requirement for China to realize high-quality economic development in the new stage of development. Enterprises are important carriers and commitment subjects for high-quality economic and social development. How to promote the development of new quality productive forces in enterprises has important theoretical and practical value. Based on the realistic background of accelerating the construction of intelligent manufacturing development ecology in China, this paper takes the national intelligent manufacturing demonstration project as a quasi-natural experiment, adopts text analysis method to construct the measurement index of enterprise new quality productivity, and then applies the dual machine learning method to explore the influence effect and mechanism of intelligent manufacturing strategy on the development of enterprise new quality productivity. It is found that intelligent manufacturing strategy can significantly promote the improvement of new quality productivity of enterprises, and this conclusion is still valid after a series of robustness tests including endogenous processing. Intelligent manufacturing is not equivalent to the new quality productivity of all kinds of enterprises. In non-state-owned enterprises, technology-intensive enterprises, areas with high intellectual property protection level and areas with perfect information infrastructure, intelligent manufacturing has a more obvious enabling effect on their new quality productivity. Intelligent manufacturing strategy mainly promotes the development of new quality productivity of enterprises through three channels: optimizing the human capital structure of enterprises, reducing the cost of information acquisition of enterprises, and easing the capital constraints of enterprises. From the perspective of the research, this paper explores the influence effect and action path of intelligent manufacturing on the level of new quality productivity of enterprises, which helps to enrich the relevant research on the development of new quality productivity, and provides theoretical and empirical evidence of China’s scenario for exploring the path of improving new quality productivity of enterprises from the perspective of industrial intelligence. In terms of research content, the effects of heterogeneity such as the type of enterprise ownership, the attributes of production factors, the level of regional property rights protection and the level of information infrastructure on the development of new quality productivity of enterprises are investigated, and more detailed empirical conclusions are provided for targeted policy recommendations. In terms of research methods, the use of the more advanced dual machine learning method can better avoid the bias and endogeneity problems of the traditional econometric model applied to policy causal inference. In terms of variable measurement, the text analysis method that comprehensively considers the word frequency of core terms connoted in new-quality productivity, such as new production technology, emerging production factors, advanced organization configuration, is adopted to construct the measurement index of enterprise new quality productivity, which overcomes the limitation that the existing index system method has too many index elements and easily fails to meet the axiomatic criteria such as unity, consistency and additivity. The research content and conclusion have reference value for China to seize the opportunity of intelligent manufacturing to enable enterprises to improve new quality productivity.

The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC has taken improving the institutions and mechanisms for fostering new quality productive forces in line with local conditions, and improving the systems for promoting full integration between the real economy and the digital economy as one of the important strategic tasks for the construction of modern socialist country. The comprehensive promotion of digital transformation for businesses has become a major strategic task in the current and even the whole 14th Five-Year Plan period. Agriculture is an important production sector in China’s national economy, and in order to promote the digital transformation of the agricultural industry, the Chinese government has issued a series of policy guidance documents in recent years. Under the support and guidance of those policies and the influence of the current increasingly turbulent and complex market environment, more and more agribusinesses are taking digital transformation as an important development strategy for the future. How to improve the competitiveness of agribusiness and the quality of agro-industrial development through digital transformation has also become an important issue faced by the business community and academia, and clarifying the relationship between digital transformation and the competitiveness of agribusiness is also one of the proper meanings. This paper clarifies the direct impact mechanism of digital transformation on the competitiveness of agribusiness enterprises and the mediating and regulating mechanisms at the theoretical level, and conducts an empirical test based on the panel data of China’s A-share listed agribusiness firms for the period from 2001 to 2020. The results show that: first, digital transformation and its two sub-dimensions, digital production and management and digital business, significantly improve the competitiveness of agribusinesses, and the impact of digital production and management is greater; second, mechanism tests show that digital transformation improves the dynamic capabilities of agribusiness firms in the three dimensions of perceived adaptive capacity, learning and absorptive capacity, and innovative capacity, and further enhances the competitiveness of the firms, i.e., dynamic capabilities play a fully mediating role in the impact of digital transformation on the competitiveness of agribusiness firms; third, both the average education level and stability of TMT play a positive moderating role in the impact of digital transformation on the competitiveness of agribusinesses, while the size of TMT plays an inverted U-shaped moderating role. The conclusions still hold after controlling for endogeneity issues and a series of robustness tests. Finally, policy recommendations for improving the competitiveness of agribusinesses based on digital transformation are proposed at the firm and government levels. This article incorporates digital transformation and competitiveness of agribusiness into the same analytical framework, which has certain theoretical value for expanding the theoretical system of management of agribusiness in the context of digital economy. At the practical level, it can not only provide practical guidance for agribusinesses to enhance their competitiveness through digital transformation, but also provide empirical evidence for governmental departments to further improve relevant policies.

With the continuous expansion of the depth and breadth of technological research, technological innovation has shown the characteristics of cross-regional, cross-institution and multi-technology integration, and it has become difficult for a single region, a single institution and a single technological field to support complex and large-scale technological innovation. The collaborative innovation mode is based on the reasonable flow of innovation factors, which can form knowledge synergy and spillover effect, enhance innovation efficiency, and is an inevitable choice for regional technological innovation and achieving high-quality development. Currently, there remains a significant gap in scientific and technological innovation between the Chengdu-Chongqing area and the Yangtze River Delta. Achieving collaborative innovation is crucial to establishing a pivotal growth engine and new dynamic source that drives high-quality development nationwide. This also represents a key initiative to develop new quality productive forces tailored to local conditions and advance a new pattern of large-scale western development. Based on the theory of division of labor and technology evolution, this paper divides synergy innovation into three categories: technological synergy, institutional synergy and regional synergy. And based on patent information data, this paper analyzes the evolution characteristics of synergy innovation network in Chengdu-Chongqing area, and empirically analyzes the impact of three synergy models on the quantity and quality of regional innovation. Results show that: 1) Regional collaborative innovation in Chengdu-Chongqing area shows networking trend, but with core-periphery structure. Universities are the key nodes of the innovation network, and technology is highly related in the same industry.2) Technological synergy can improve the quantity of regional innovation through the effect of technological optimization and reorganization, but this path dependent development can inhibit the quality of innovation; institutional synergy and regional synergy can update the knowledge base through knowledge sharing and thus improve the quality of regional innovation. Based on this, this paper puts forward three suggestions: First, we should accelerate the technological innovation cooperation across administrative boundaries, continue to play the role of knowledge spillover in key node areas, accelerate the construction of science and innovation corridor, and strengthen the spatial spillover between the core node and sub-nodes of technological innovation. Second, promote technological collaboration with universities to advance industry-university-research integration. Improve the ownership system for scientific and technological achievements, promote technology exchanges and joint R&D between universities as well as between universities and enterprises, and drive the integrated development of technological innovation and industrial innovation. Third, it is necessary to carry out collaborative cultivation of related technologies, compile technology linkage tables, and increase inputs in technology fields that are urgently needed for industrial development and have a high degree of relevance, so as to achieve a shift from single technology innovation to collaborative development of technology clusters. The article analyzes the characteristics and problems of the current collaborative innovation network in Chengdu-Chongqing area, and empirically tests the positive effect of collaborative innovation on innovation output, which can provide a reference for local governments to optimize the regional innovation pattern.

While adjusting administrative divisions, local governments also achieve the goal of integrating resources among regions through cross-regional development planning. The question this article seeks to answer is whether this kind of regional development planning that breaks through administrative boundaries can drive cross-regional market integration, and thus affect the overall resource allocation and economic performance of the region. Taking the Regional Planning of Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone officially issued by the State Council in 2011 as a quasi-natural experiment, this paper uses the synthetic control methods to estimate the impact of this cross-regional development plan on the economic growth of Sichuan and Chongqing province. Combined with panel data from prefecture-level cities, as well as empirical data on fixed assets investment and fiscal revenue in Sichuan and Chongqing, and changes in the allocation of economic affairs authority between the two regions, the mechanism of action is examined to provide insights for further promoting western development and forming a new pattern. It is found that Regional Planning of Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone has promoted the overall economic growth of both Sichuan and Chongqing, and has a higher role in promoting Chongqing’s economic growth than Sichuan. The mechanism test shows that cross-provincial cooperation can effectively internalize the spillover effects generated by regional competition, and alleviate the negative effects of regional competition through regional collaboration and market integration. The empirical conclusions of the article can be applied to the analysis of the cross-provincial economic zone construction that the central government has been continuously promoting in the Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and other regions. To some extent, it can be inferred that China’s economic growth since the reform and opening up is both the result of internal competition among provinces and the result of the central government’s use of cross-provincial development planning to promote regional cooperation. The conclusion of the article is that the key to shaping a new development pattern in the western region is to effectively promote cooperation among provinces in the western region, form a joint force for development, and reduce competitive internal friction.

At present, the construction of a scientific and comprehensive theoretical system for the Chinese nation commonality has advanced from the theory of the chinese nation commonality to a new stage of chinese national community studies. As a strategically important emerging interdisciplinary discipline, Chinese national community studies aligns with China’s strategic need to continuously shape national certainty through the great unity of the Chinese nation. Its foundational concepts encompass three core categories: the substantive Chinese nation, the holistic Chinese nation commonality and the identificatory awareness of the Chinese nation commonality. These concepts integrate China’s strength through pluralistic unity, its values through the five shared elements and its spirit through the four coexistences. The formation and development of Chinese national community studies rest on rich theoretical foundations: the Sinicization and modernization of Marxist community thought and ethnic theories; the synthesis and unification of the Chinese civilization perspective and historical view of the Chinese nation; the summarization and sublimation of the CPC’s ethnic work theories and practices; the resource provision and interdisciplinary innovation from Chinese philosophy and social sciences. The disciplinary construction goal for Chinese national community studies is positioned as evolving from an interdisciplinary pilot to a primary discipline within interdisciplinary studies. Its development should adhere to the principle of integrating political orientation, academic rigor and practical relevance. Following the intrinsic logic of foundation-history-practice-comparison, its secondary disciplines or research directions could encompass four dimensions: theory of the Chinese nation commonality, history of the Chinese nation commonality, practical construction of the Chinese nation commonality and the Chinese nation commonality in the contemporary world. Advancing the disciplinary system of Chinese national community studies further requires complementary academic, discursive and talent cultivation systems.

Network effect is the core strength of platform growth and the key to operation of platform institutions. Network effect refers to the improvement of utility and overall network performance obtained by platform network actors from optimizing network features, which is reflected in the utility of actors at the node level and the performance improvement at the overall network level. Network effects are not only related to scale, but also to other characteristic elements of network structure and functional dimensions. Based on the theoretical analysis framework of network effect influencing factors by Afuah, Turrinia, and others, three different types of internationally renowned open digital academic innovation platforms DOAJ, arXiv, and ORCID are selected for multi case exploratory research to analyze the influencing factors of their network effects and construct a theoretical analysis framework for the influencing factors of network effects on open digital academic innovation platforms. The research results indicate that network structure characteristics and network function characteristics are the main influencing factors of the network effect of digital academic innovation platforms. The characteristics of network structure refer to the relative features of the number, roles, positions, and relationships of actors. Among the characteristics of network structure, network size, network heterogeneity, network density, and network centrality are the main factors affecting the network effect of digital academic innovation platforms. The network functional characteristics refer to the role of the platform’s own nodes in the entire network, that is, the abilities and measures demonstrated by the creators and managers of the network in achieving network goals. For digital academic journal innovation platforms, network relationship capability and technological innovation level are the main factors affecting their network effects. Based on this, a theoretical framework for the influencing factors of the network effect of digital academic journal innovation platforms has been constructed, and countermeasures and suggestions have been proposed to stimulate the network effect of China’s open digital academic innovation platforms and promote their rapid growth.

The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasized the need to build a more effective international communication system, within which the dissemination of China’s national image plays a crucial role. As a vital carrier of cultural communication and a key representation of comprehensive national strength, national image has, in the context of globalization, become an essential component of a country’s global influence. Among cultural mediums, films—particularly new mainstream films —have consistently served as a powerful tool for constructing and disseminating China’s national image.This study argues that, since the advent of the new era, Chinese films, especially new mainstream films, have become an important window through which China’s national image is communicated internationally. These films portray, across multiple dimensions and levels, an open and inclusive image of a major country, a people-centered political image, a powerful military image, a diligent social image, and a confident and self-reliant national image.Nevertheless, challenges remain in the international communication of new mainstream films, including significant cultural discounting, formidable barriers within mainstream markets, a relatively narrow range of film genres, and a lack of flexibility in expressive techniques. To overcome these obstacles, new mainstream films must adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Culture, fully implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, construct a Chinese narrative system to enhance empathy in international communication; optimize communication methods and strategies to boost affinity in international communication; expand foreign exchange and cooperation to strengthen competitiveness in international communication; advance the construction of support systems to improve organizational capacity in international communication. The active construction of a multi-channel and multi-level international communication system will comprehensively enhance the effectiveness of international communication for China’s national image.

Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization is a rigorous logical system formed with the people as the main body, the Marxist view of ecology as the theoretical kernel, the promotion of overall productivity development as the driving force, and institutional construction as the guarantee. Specifically, Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization is people-oriented rather than ecology-oriented, and is based on the vast majority of people rather than the minority, emphasizing that the key to ecological civilization construction lies in people. Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization takes the Marxist ecological view as the theoretical kernel, which is a highly condensed and vivid expression of the Marxist ecological view, focusing on nature without neglecting human beings, and embodying the dialectical unity of human beings and nature, so that the extreme either-or antagonism between absolute anthropocentrism and eco-centrism can be theoretically and truly overcome, and the contradiction between human society development and the natural environment can be truly and realistically viewed. Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization is driven by the promotion of the overall development of productive forces, advocating that protecting the ecological environment is protecting productive forces, and improving the ecological environment is developing productive forces, as well as that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. It calls for strengthening ecological protection and restoration as well as accelerating scientific and technological innovation, the ecologicalization of industries, and the industrialization of ecology. Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization is guaranteed by system construction, and attaches great importance to the construction and reform of the property rights system for natural resources, the management system for ecological environmental protection, and the performance assessment and evaluation system for leading cadres, so as to continuously improve the ecological civilization system. The report of the 20th CPC National Congress pointed out that Chinese modernization is the modernization of harmony between humanity and nature, and the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee emphasized the need to focus on the construction of a beautiful China, deepen the reform of the ecological civilization system, and promote the harmonious coexistence of human beings and nature. Elucidating the internal logic of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization is not only a prerequisite for deeply understanding and grasping Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization and an intrinsic requirement for promoting the development of the thought itself, but also an urgent need to better promote the realization of Chinese modernization of harmony between humanity and nature.

Building an ecological civilization lies fundamentally in establishing systems and mechanisms. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that institutional construction must be regarded as the top priority in advancing the building of an ecological civilization. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, China has made remarkable achievements in the construction of the ecological civilization institutional system, major strides have been taken in the reform of the fundamental institutions for ecological civilization, the modernization of the reform of the ecological and environmental governance system has advanced in depth, major breakthroughs have been achieved in the reform of the green and low-carbon development mechanism; and an institutional system with the four beams and eight pillars structure for ecological civilization has basically taken shape. Based on China’s achievements in the construction of the ecological civilization institutional system in the new era, this paper focuses on the comparative analysis of the ecological and environmental protection system, efficient resource utilization system, ecological protection and restoration system, and ecological and environmental protection responsibility system, elaborating on the construction logic, operation characteristics and epochal value of the ecological civilization institutional system. From the perspective of construction logic, the ecological civilization institutional system is based on the value stance of ecology for the people, focuses on the practical needs of ecological civilization construction, strives to solve the difficulties in ecological governance, coordinates systems and the rule of law to consolidate the ecological defense line, and adheres to the practical orientation to carry out systematic institutional innovation. From the perspective of operation characteristics, the ecological civilization institutional system is a multi-level and all-round institutional mechanism driven by national administration, market mechanisms and comprehensive benefits. From the perspective of epochal value, the ecological civilization institutional system serves as an important guarantee for properly handling the five major relationships. Looking ahead, to thoroughly study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, implement the Resolution of the CPC Central Committee on Further Deepening Reform Comprehensively to Advance Chinese Modernization, we should further improve the ecological civilization institutional system along the ideology-institution-practice path, form a Chinese governance model featuring the coordinated evolution of ecological rationality and institutional rationality, so as to provide a solid institutional guarantee for realizing the modernization of harmony between humanity and nature and for consolidating the ecological foundation for the sustainable development of the Chinese nation.

In the 1950s and 1960s, travelogues preferred to cite folk legends that reflected the living conditions of the working people in ancient China. These legends explained the names and characteristics of natural landscapes and cultural relics in the form of stories, involving natural disasters, class oppression, production activities, cultural creation, and other aspects, forming a unique landscape narrative. Fundamentally, these folk legends are the product of alternative imagination developed by the lower class people in the face of harsh living environments. They project their bitter memories onto the mountains and rivers, fixing their beautiful imagination on eternal natural landscapes, attempting to transcend current suffering. Therefore, when narrating these folk legends, the author mostly traces the origin of the legends and the process of changes and developments in the fate or events of the characters based on the appearance characteristics of the landscape. This is actually a re-exploration of the origin of the landscape, viewing and interpreting the landscape from the perspective of the working people. The visual practice subject of the landscape also changes from the literati class to the working class, thus driving away the class consciousness parasitic in traditional landscape discourse and reconstructing a landscape recognition device belonging to the masses with political mobilization function. Just so, these legends ostensibly tell a story about the ancestors who feared nature and imagined conquering nature, but their practical significance has spilled over the story itself. Through the relationship mechanism of man and nature, they show a meaningful picture of the Chinese people from transforming nature and conquering nature to transforming the old society and building a new society, thus expressing their sincere recognition of the socialist new China. From the perspective of reception aesthetics, the folklore in the text is not a complete story, but rather a call for a new story that takes place in the new era, corresponding to the discourse structure of remembering bitterness and longing for sweetness at that time. This structure operates through the embedding of spatiotemporal entities and the debunking of legends, solving many logical loopholes in folk legends that are contrary to reason. The creation and reception of folk legends basically reproduce the production process of local knowledge in China. Introducing these legends into travelogues is a writing style based on folk perspectives, which provides useful inspiration for opening up literary imagination space and constructing an independent discourse system for Chinese literature.

The Battle of Xiangjiang that broke out at the end of 1934 is a decisive battle for the survival of the Chinese revolution. This battle is not only a military confrontation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but also a contest of popular support. The Central Red Army fought bravely in the Battle of Xiangjiang, sacrificing more than half of their lives to achieve the goal of crossing the river and advancing westward, shattered the Kuomintang’s attempt to encircle and annihilate the Central Red Army east of the Xiangjiang River. During the Battle of Xiangjiang, the mass propaganda work of the Central Red Army played an important role in breaking through the Xiangjiang River and achieving the strategic goal of advancing westward. During the Battle of Xiangjiang, it was an inevitable choice for the Red Army to carry out mass propaganda work. Firstly, the Red Army bore the significant task of propagating, organizing, and arming the masses, which is determined by its revolutionary nature. Secondly, in the context of the Kuomintang’s extensive slander against the Communist Party and the Red Army, and the deception of the vast majority of the people in northern Guangxi, the Red Army’s mass propaganda was an important way to expose the enemy, win over the masses, and help achieve the breakthrough of the Xiang River. Thirdly, the Red Army’s forced crossing of the Xiang River required various conditions. Faced with the enemy’s heavy blockade, only by actively carrying out mass propaganda, and striving to gain the understanding, trust, support, and assistance of various ethnic groups in northern Guangxi to the greatest extent possible, can the Central Red Army break through the Xiang River and turn danger into safety. During the Battle of Xiangjiang, the mass propaganda work of the Central Red Army was formulated based on local conditions to safeguard the interests of the masses; Choose flexible and pragmatic propaganda methods to awaken the public and generate ideological resonance; Strictly abide by the discipline of the masses, enhance the effectiveness of propaganda, and strive for the recognition of the masses. During the Battle of Xiangjiang, the mass propaganda work of the Central Red Army achieved significant results and had a positive historical impact. On the one hand, it expanded the influence of the CPC and the Red Army, to some extent eliminated the negative impact of the Kuomintang’s anti communist propaganda, won the support and assistance of various ethnic groups in northern Guangxi, and created a good mass foundation for breaking through the Xiangjiang River. On the other hand, it spread the revolutionary purposes and policies of the CPC, inspired the masses’ revolutionary consciousness, and sowed revolutionary kindling.The mass propaganda work of the Central Red Army during the Battle of Xiangjiang reflected the wisdom and strength of the CPC and the Red Army, which not only provided strong support for the CPC and the Red Army in the Battle of Xiangjiang and the subsequent Long March, but also accumulated valuable experience for the CPC in mass work and national work.

While legends are not credible history, they encapsulate the aspirations and strategies of people within specific historical contexts along with the implied authentic historical circumstances. The boundary demarcation legend of One Arrow’s Distance has been widely circulated across China’s northern-southern agro-pastoral transitional zones, particularly in border areas between Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, and Yunnan provinces. Though often dismissed by historians as absurd anecdotes, this legend in fact embodies a distinctive historical memory reflecting the migration patterns of predominantly Han agricultural populations during the Qing dynasty and their spatial order reconstruction through ethnic integration in frontier regions. It also serves as a compelling case study demonstrating how farming and nomadic groups historically negotiated coexistence and mutually reshaped their collective memories. Although versions of the One Arrow’s Distance legend vary across northern and southern regions, their narrative structures and core motifs remain strikingly consistent. These tales predominantly revolve around two pivotal historical events: Yang Liulang’s resistance against the Liao forces during the Song-Liao confrontation era at the junction of Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, and Gansu, and Zhuge Liang’s southern expedition to ethnic regions of Sichuan and Yunnan during the Three Kingdoms period. Through the incorporation of distinctive localized knowledge, the legend has evolved into a collectively celebrated narrative among Han, Mongolian, Tibetan, Yi, and other ethnic groups. The One Arrow’s Distance boundary legend metaphorically represents how borderland communities strategically rationalized contemporary agricultural-pastoral boundaries and ethnic distribution patterns through constructing historical memories of ceasefire negotiations and arrow-shot demarcation. The derivation and dissemination of this legend not only embody border populations’ grassroots aspirations for peaceful coexistence and their folk wisdom in reconfiguring Chinese cultural symbols, but also reflect multiple dimensions of human interactions and frontier spatial construction since the Qing dynasty from a grassroots perspective. The deep mechanism of social integration and identity formation through historical memory construction, as revealed by this legend, offers significant insights for reinterpreting historical events, spatial configurations, and group identity dynamics through the microcosmic lens of collective memory embedded in folk narratives and myths that carry popular consciousness.

In most countries, the capital of a company can be paid up either in money or in kind. According to Article 48 of the Company Law of China, a company can only contribute capital through monetary or non-monetary assets, and the legal nature of digital assets will directly determine the validity of their contribution. Nowadays, with the physical economy and digital economy deeply integrated, it is very important to ascertain whether digital assets can be contributed to a company. The legal nature of digital assets varies across countries, and especially in China, there is a lack of legal definition, and in judicial practice, judges tend to avoid addressing this issue. This leads to challenges such as unclear concepts, undefined nature, and lagging regulation, further weakening the possibility of contributing digital assets, and causing them to be inadequately protected. On one hand, digital assets are challenged in terms of public disclosure and exclusivity because they cannot be physically occupied, which contradicts the traditional concept that an object must have a physical form. On the other hand, the ambiguous language in regulations such as the Notice on Preventing Bitcoin Risks and the lag in legal developments mean that even if digital assets are recognized as objects of ownership, they may still fail to meet the requirements for contributed assets under the Company Law.Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the existing system in China to affirm the property attributes and legality of digital assets to ensure that their legal definition can meet the requirements for capital contribution. First, by comparing and analyzing existing research on the legal definition of digital assets at home and abroad, we should change the publicity method of digital asset ownership from the traditional possession is ownership rule for movable property to the control is ownership rule. Digital assets achieve effective publicity of ownership through the control of private keys or passwords, confirming their characteristics as objects of ownership, thus addressing the publicity issue caused by the inability to possess digital assets. Second, through the expanded interpretation of Article 127 of the Civil Code, broaden the definition of network virtual property to include digital assets, clarify the legal nature of digital assets as intangible movable property and network virtual property, and explain that digital assets as objects of ownership comply with the principle of numerus clausus to ensure effective protection in judicial practice. Third, it is recommended to promptly formulate the Digital Assets Law to comprehensively regulate the scope, nature, circulation, and regulatory methods of digital assets, affirming the economic value of digital assets and providing a legal basis for their legality and contribution validity. This will promote the healthy development of the digital asset market and protect investor rights, ultimately affirming the validity of digital asset contributions and establishing an appropriate legal system for digital asset contributions.

Accurately positioning the Private Sector Promotion Law is essential for achiveing a shared understanding of its contextual framework and unique value, as well as fostering a proper mindset among law enforcement authorities. Despite adopting a promotional legislative form, this law does not follow the same approach as other promotional legislations that focus on empowering specific industries or disadvantaged small and medium-sized enterprises.Instead, it adopts a soft law approach, articulating the policies of the Party and the country that promote the development and growth of the private sector, while also under the guidance of the Constitution integrating existing applicable laws, regulations, and policy principles in the private economic domain. This legislative approach adapts to the the reality of the private sector, which spans across various industries with different sizes and forms, and acknowledges that, although other promotional legislations have already been in place, they remain fragmented and lack authority. It also aligns with the original intention of the Party and the country, which emphasizes that economic entities under all forms of ownership have equal access to factors of production in accordance with the law, compete in the market on an equal footing, and are protected by the law as equals. Most importantly, this legislative approach exhibits a distinct character as policy benchmark law. In a context where existing laws and policies have already provide necessary institutional environment for private sector development, this law is neither redundant nor excessive. Rather, it occupies a unique position within the socialist system of laws with Chinese characteristics. By elevating the Party and the country's policy into law, it establishes an overarching, stable, and authoritative standpoint for promoting the growth of the private sector, while also reinforcing the rule of law in consolidating foundations, stabilizing expectations, and delivering long-term benefits. This also enhances confidence of enterprises and entrepreneurs in the private sector's contribution to Chinese-style modernization. Additionally, by embedding these values into concrete contexts and bureaucratic administrative frameworks, the law constructs formal, unified, and guiding principles for legal application in the private sector, thereby strengthening guarantees for the overall promotion of the private sector.

In the process of deepening the leniency system of admitting guilt and accepting punishment, it is no longer limited to a rule or confined to the criminal procedural law, but a major change from the perspective of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, which has a huge impact on the concept, system and practice. It is the transformation of criminal procedure and even the national governance structure, and it has era significance for realizing Chinese-style modernization and promoting high-quality judicial development. Among them, the “shall generally adopt” clause has a key mission. Through the court’s adoption of the procuratorate’s sentencing recommendations, the leniency system encourages the accused to admit guilt and accept punishment early, facilitates evidence collection, expedites prosecution, and enables rapid trials—thus saving substantial judicial resources and alleviating the burden on investigation, prosecution, trial, and other links. However, in the rapid progress of the procedure, the public interest is difficult to safeguard, the accused’s admission of guilt and acceptance of punishment are unknowing and irrational, assistance from lawyers is nominal, and the victims’ rights and interests are ignored. Subject to the “shall generally adopt” clause, even if the court finds the above injustice, it is difficult to punish, and the strong restriction mode restricts the initiative of the court, which not only increases the contradiction between the subjects of the lawsuit, but also seriously damages the due mission of the leniency system. In the reform of the court’s trial level function positioning, and the reform of the trial quality management index system, it is emphasized that case handling should pay equal attention to fairness and efficiency, adhere to the priority of quality, take into account efficiency, and achieve both quality, efficiency and benefit. This requires giving full play to the key role of the court in accurately ascertaining facts and substantively resolving disputes, the further goal is to fully release the discretion of the adjudicator on the basis of ensuring the justice of the case, so as to realize active justice. Therefore, reasonable exceptions to the adoption of sentencing recommendations can leave a path for the court to make its own decision, and promote fair judgment, balance of prosecution and trial, and procedural justice in the process of admitting guilt and accepting punishment. The exception models vary across different institutional contexts, but there is also convergence, reasonable elements should be comprehensively investigated on the basis of dialectical analysis. Incorporating circumstances such as inconsistent with the public interest, unknowing and irrational, without the assistance of a lawyer, and without taking the victim’s opinions into account into the category of other circumstances that may affect a fair trial, and constantly enriching its content and actual standards, can promote the leniency system of admitting guilt and accepting punishment to play a greater role in the new stage of development.

How to evaluate the counterattack behavior against “expected harm” has always been a theoretical difference between justifiable defense and emergency avoidance, which is vividly reflected in cases such as “abused women killing their husbands”.The theory of risk avoidance defines the “imminent danger” as a “real danger” with a lower degree of urgency, and affirms the establishment of defensive emergency avoidance in some scenarios by mitigating the judgment of “necessity” and limiting conditions. However, if there is no possibility of other actions at the time of the behavior, the danger faced by the actor has reached a realistic level of urgency. The standard of “realistic danger” is actually based on the substantive judgment of the degree of danger, and an additional formal requirement of time span is added. The purpose of this restrictive interpretation is to prevent the abuse of the highly dominant self-defense system, distinguish between the premise of avoidance and the premise of defense, and limit the scope of the establishment of self-defense. Within the reduced range, defensive emergency avoidance is used as a substitute theory to compensate for the space for criminalization. However, under the premise that Article 20 (2) of China’s Criminal Law explicitly requires the limit of defense, the legitimate defense system in China does not have the extreme dominance of the theory of avoidance as a theoretical premise. Combined with the current situation in China’s judicial practice where emergency avoidance is only applied to situations that harm the interests of innocent third parties, it is more reasonable to apply the legitimate defense approach in situations of “expected infringement”. In theory, the essence of “expected infringement” is that the infringer creates a real danger of infringement, and this danger is not cut off until the counterattack occurs. Similar legal principles can refer to the process of causal freedom of action, from expected infringement in justifiable defense to illegal infringement and ultimately the result of infringement, corresponding to causal behavior, state of irresponsibility, and resulting behavior in causal freedom of action. From the beginning to the end, danger is created and finally realized, and the initial behavior already implies a high possibility of the final infringement result occurring. Therefore, on the premise that the initial behavior meets the three elements of predictability of the infringement, clarity of the infringement warning, and lack of possibility for public power relief, the danger of the infringement result has reached a realistic urgency level and meets the prerequisite for legitimate defense. At this time, the counterattack implemented should be evaluated as a defensive behavior. In individual case judgment, objective post judgment standards should be adhered to. Even if the defensive actor subjectively has a mistaken understanding and believes in the existence of an “expected danger” that can be defended in situations where the above three elements are not met, it constitutes hypothetical defense. In situations where the mistaken belief cannot be avoided, it should be handled according to the unexpected event, which can also achieve a balance in protecting the interests of both parties in the conflict.

The resolution of the membership assembly of the rural collective economic organizations serves as a vital instrument for rural collective economic organizations governance, bearing significant implications for member rights and the efficacy of organizational governance. The determination of its validity constitutes a critical issue necessitating resolution during the implementation of the Rural Collective Economic Organization Law. As an act of will formation by the rural collective economic organizations, the validity of such a resolution is grounded in its origin as an act performed by an internal organ of the organization based on group autonomy. The determination of a resolution’s validity encompasses the entire process of assessing its legal status, including whether it is duly constituted, valid, voidable, or void. Currently, the determination of validity for membership assembly resolutions faces several theoretical ambiguities and practical challenges: First, due to unclear boundaries for judicial intervention, judicial practice often excludes validity determinations from the scope of judicial review. Second, the absence of direct statutory criteria for establishing the constitution of a resolution leads to a failure to clearly distinguish between its formation/effectiveness and its validity determination. Third, undefined rules for voiding resolutions result in inconsistent application of voidability. Fourth, the lack of clear rules for determining invalidity creates confusion regarding the legal basis for such determinations and their application. Addressing these challenges requires exploring logical pathways to refine the rules governing the validity determination of rural collective economic organizations membership assembly resolutions, providing theoretical guidance for judicial practice. First, the boundaries of judicial intervention must be clarified, specifically addressing whether, when, and to what extent courts may intervene in validity determinations to ensure the legality and appropriateness of such intervention. Second, a clear distinction must be drawn between a resolution’s formation/effectiveness and its validity determination, refining constitutive requirements concerning subject matter and procedure to accurately identify its legal status. Third, the rules for voiding resolutions should be enhanced, establishing infringement of members’ lawful rights and interests as the legitimate ground for voidance, recognizing rural collective economic organization members as eligible subjects holding the right to request voidance, defining the scope of infringed rights based on the Rural Collective Economic Organization Law, and carefully weighing autonomy against legality when voiding resolutions to provide clear guidance for member remedies. Finally, rules for determining the invalidity of resolutions must be established, clarifying the applicable legal basis. A systematic framework for determining resolution validity will enhance the governance efficacy of rural collective economic organizations.

Xunzi’s paradigm of government theory takes the theory of the Badness of Human Nature as its philosophical basis, effectively integrating the thoughts of Confucianism and Legalism, and reflecting Xunzi’s profound and extensive knowledge system. The Xunzi-style government is morally regarded as necessary good. Politically, it advocates that the noble class should win the voluntary obedience of the common people with their political virtues, and at the same time, it also advocates forcing the common people to submit to the government through a strict (criminal) legal system. After establishing the system of government theory, Xunzi also provided a coherent explanation of the important concepts that were the subject of much debate in the academic circle at that time, organically unifying those concepts that initially seemed to be contradicting within his paradigm of government theory. Xunzi’s paradigm of government theory has many similarities with Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law, which can provide important theoretical value for understanding the practice of the rule of law in contemporary China. In terms of constructing an independent legal knowledge system in China, Xunzi’s paradigm of government theory and his coherent interpretation of important concepts have significant reference significance. First of all, the construction of China’s independent legal knowledge system should actively embrace political virtues, and the Chinese-style modern rule of law can be compatible with the virtues of politicians, and the steady progress of rule-of-law construction likewise requires robust guarantees from political authority. In a rapidly developing modern society, legal systems inevitably contain various forms of open structures, and legislators as politicians should demonstrate their political virtues through sound legislative action to fill these open structures. Secondly, firmly reject legal instrumentalism to achieve the systematisms of the rule of law in China. As a holistic system, law should not merely serve as a tool for external objectives, but should also possess internal coherence and moral foundations to secure its own authority. One of the harms of legal instrumentalism is that it fragments the legal system as a whole, thereby seriously undermining the legitimacy of the law and severely weakening the people’s faith in its fairness and justice. Finally, emphasis should be placed on the formal theory of the rule of law to forge the autonomy of China’s legal knowledge system. Values such as freedom, democracy, and human rights are common pursuits of societies worldwide, yet their realization within a legal system depends on the specific national conditions of each country. Formal rule-of-law theory pays attention to the methods and means by which these modern values are implemented, as well as to the extent and manner in which they are realized, fully respecting the decisions of the collective political leadership. Moreover, all reliable theoretical knowledge must be premised upon solid and stable practical experience; theories lacking the support of practical experience are prone to fall into overly idealized traps. Given the current situation of rule-of-law construction in China, clarifying the internal coherence of an independent legal knowledge system on a formal level should be a top priority for today’s theoretical scholars.

The pursuit of fairness and justice is an inevitable requirement of guiding the cause of Chinese modernization with core socialist values. The process the CPC leads the people in upholding and developing Marxism through the two-integrations provides a broad historical and contemporary context for fostering the values of fairness and justice. History and practice have proven: in critiquing the maladies such as the lack of fairness and justice in old China, the Chinese people fostered a vision for a future modernization blueprint; in discerning the essence of false justice in Western modernization, they were inspired to deliberate on an ideal model of modernization; in exploring pathways to realize fairness and justice during socialist construction, they deepened their identification with their own modernization path; in advancing the practical reforms for fairness and justice in the new era, they have solidified the shared conviction in realizing national rejuvenation through Chinese modernization. Due to its distinctive Chinese characteristics, Chinese modernization has laid a theoretical foundation for promoting the values of fairness and justice. Modernization of a huge population embodies the fundamental stance of putting the people first in the values of fairness and justice; modernization of common prosperity for all defines the objective direction for solving the problem of formal justice in modernization; modernization harmonizing material and spiritual advancement breaks through the tendency toward reification dominated by capital logic, reflecting the dual dimensions of the values of fairness and justice; modernization of harmony between humanity and nature endows the values of fairness and justice with new norms of intergenerational equity and ecological justice, elevating fairness and justice to the height of the continuity of human civilization; modernization pursuing peaceful development resolves the modernization paradox that development and justice are difficult to achieve simultaneously. Meanwhile, in the dimensions of political leadership, development approach and global governance, the essential requirements of Chinese modernization clarify the practical direction for practicing the values of fairness and justice. Based on the continuous guidance of core socialist values, the fairness and justice characteristics of Chinese modernization are radiating unique brilliance in the evolution of world civilization, inaugurating a new chapter in adapting Marxist theories on fairness and justice to the Chinese context and the needs of the times.

Existing studies have extensively explored the impact of digital divide on economic development, yet research focusing on its influence on the high-quality development of the cultural industry remains limited. This gap primarily stems from the cultural industry’s involvement of numerous indicators—currently, there is no unified definition for the indicator system and measurement methods used to assess the high-quality development of the cultural industry. Most existing studies only remain at the stage of qualitative analysis; without quantitative research, it is difficult to determine the extent to which each factor affects the high-quality development of the cultural industry.In this study, the entropy weight method is first used to assign weights to the factors influencing the high-quality development of the cultural industry, which are then integrated into a high-quality development index of the cultural industry and used as the explained variable. Digital divide is categorized into three primary indicators: access divide, usage divide, and benefit divide. If these three primary indicators are directly used as explanatory variables to construct a multiple linear regression model, severe multicollinearity would occur—leading to significant biases in parameter estimation and inaccurate inference of population characteristics from sample data. Therefore, the entropy weight method is also applied to assign weights to both primary and secondary indicators of the digital divide, generating comprehensive indices for the access divide, usage divide, and benefit divide. These indices are further integrated into an overall digital divide index. A regression model is then established using the high-quality development index of the cultural industry and the comprehensive digital divide index, effectively eliminating multicollinearity. This model exhibited high comprehensiveness but weak interpretability. To identify the impact of each explanatory variable on the high-quality development of the cultural industry, the composite formula of the digital divide index is substituted into the regression model, resulting in a multiple linear regression model that directly links the high-quality development of the cultural industry to the access divide, usage divide, and benefit divide. This method is used to fit data from 2021 and 2022, and the fitting results show a high degree of consistency with actual conditions. The findings indicate that regional differences in digital divide exacerbate the imbalance in cultural industry development: the digital divide is generally smaller in developed eastern coastal regions, where advantages in digital infrastructure, digital consumption levels, and digital industrial chains have formed a positive cycle between digital dividends and cultural industry prosperity. In contrast, provinces with a larger digital divide face prominent issues such as inadequate network infrastructure, insufficient digital skills training, and low matching between physical and digital resources—these factors significantly restrict the innovation of cultural enterprises, the popularization of digital cultural services, and the growth potential of cultural consumption.Notably, the three dimensions of digital divide (access, usage, and benefit) are not completely independent but interrelated. Even if the access divide is narrowed, insufficient support in areas such as digital literacy, quality of digital content, and digital application scenarios will prevent the full conversion of the potential economic and social benefits of digitalization, ultimately leading to the formation of a benefit divide. The regression model established in this study enables dynamic tracking and inter-temporal comparison, allowing for monitoring of digital divide’s structure and the development direction of the cultural industry. The model’s results suggest that to ensure the high-quality development of the cultural industry, the state should strengthen the balanced layout of digital infrastructure and public services. While continuing to optimize digital facilities in core eastern cities and economic belts, efforts should be focused on shifting development priorities to central, western, and remote regions. This can be achieved through measures such as establishing special funds, promoting inter-provincial cooperation, and encouraging government-enterprise joint investments to bridge gaps in network coverage and bandwidth. Additionally, targeted subsidies and preferential policies for urban and rural grassroots areas should be provided, encouraging network operators, digital technology enterprises, and local governments to share costs and improve service coverage in rural and underdeveloped regions—thereby laying an inclusive foundation for the digital upgrading of the cultural industry.
