Unacceptable cold knowledge of history

For a long time, the public’s cognition of Napoleon’s height has remained in the impression of "the little emperor".

However, recent historical research has found that the real height of this famous strategist is about 168 to 170 cm, which is not short as people think.

In fact, his height is just the opposite of the widely circulated rumors at that time, showing a history of misleading the public.

Regarding Napoleon’s height, people used to focus on his smaller figure.

But recent research has revealed the truth.

According to French literature and other historical evidence, it is confirmed that Napoleon’s actual height is about 168 to 170 cm.

(Note that the average height of French men at that time was 1.69 meters) Compared with the public records at that time, it is not difficult to see that Napoleon was not particularly short.

However, due to a rumor in the British media at that time, the people misunderstood.

During the Napoleonic Wars, the British media published a large number of satirical reports about Napoleon’s body shape, which portrayed Napoleon as a short figure, in order to demoralize opponents.

However, it should be noted that these reports are not based on facts, but rumors.

Interestingly, the source of this misunderstanding turned out to be an innocuous incident in history.

It is said that Napoleon liked riding horses during the war, but because his knee was hit by a stone in the trench, he could not ride for a long time.

Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary influence on the battle, he often chooses to travel by carriage.

This detail of life was maliciously interpreted by people with a heart, and rumors about Napoleon’s short legs were fabricated.

Rumors spread constantly, casting an image of Napoleon’s short stature in many people’s minds.

On the other hand, a famous saying of Empress Dowager Cixi, although not directly related to historical figures, also gives a unique perspective on family ties.

We can’t help but sigh that parents’ deep care for their children is really touching.

Empress Dowager Cixi had no time to congratulate her mother personally on her birthday, so she left a message with a poem to express her love and respect for her mother.

That calligraphy is one.

Sporty

It is difficult for high-end positioning to meet the needs of discerning watch collectors, but how easy it is for watchmaking quality, practicality and aesthetic design to meet the general public. Longines watch is a kind of ceiling-level watch brand in the mass-oriented watch brand, and it shows admirable outstanding performance in terms of watchmaking strength and scale, orthodoxy and historical development. With its solid quality and elegant design style, Longines watch has stood in the watch world for nearly 200 years, which is no accident.

In 1889, the trademark of Longines Watch Factory was registered with the Federal Office of Intellectual Property (FOIP).

Nowadays, the trend of "sports watch" in watchmaking has become the mainstream, and many designs exude strong sports fashion style. Today, wristwatches are no longer just the recorder of time, but the ultimate combination of style and practicality. Longines watches, which had a deep relationship with sports as early as a hundred years ago, are represented by Conquest Concas series, which can reflect the elegant sportsmanship.

1.Longines watch not only provides important support for equestrian sports through its cooperation with FIA, but also consolidates its reputation in accurate timing and high-quality watch manufacturing.

2.3.Longines began to establish cooperation with FIA in 1954.

The name and watch of Conquest Concas first appeared in 1954. In this year, Longines became the official partner of the International Equestrian Federation, responsible for timing and recording a number of international equestrian events. To this end, Longines introduced the first Conquest Concas wristwatch, and officially registered the patent right of "Conquest" ("Concas") through the Swiss Federal Intellectual Property Office on May 5, 1954.

In 1954, the first longines watch Concas series watches and the original patent documents.

As soon as it was launched, Concas series watches were widely loved by the public for their precise performance and classic design, and became the classics of Longines watch brands. After more than half a century’s development and evolution, Longines has always maintained the characteristics of movement, accuracy and classics, and it is also a series of representatives of Longines’ attitude of bravely exploring life.

Elegance in daily life and elegance in sports are more important.

Nowadays, sports style watches should not only meet the needs of sports occasions, but also be the fashion embellishment of daily life, adding vitality to wearing. In order to meet the needs of the new generation, Longines watches draw inspiration from the first edition of Conquest Concas watches and incorporate more modern and mature styles. This year, a number of new Concas series Yuedong watches have been launched, with all kinds of watches for men and women. Its design style is not only slightly retro, but also retains the consistent sense of movement of Concas series, and at the same time injects more elegant elements. This new generation style, called Sporty-Chic sports fashion, is full of charm and vitality, which can be controlled in various occasions, and also shows Longines’ keen insight into modern urban life.

Longines watches were inspired by the original Concas watches launched in 1954, and this year, the Concas series Yuedong watches were newly launched.

Elantra watches are unique in that they can meet the multiple demands of modern people for watches. First of all, in appearance, its fine steel case is not only elegant, but also outstanding in texture through the design of multi-level lines and careful polishing and frosting. Looking closely at its shape, Elantra watch not only has a more rounded outline, but also the small shoulder pad structure next to the crown improves the series to add distinctive identification elements and elegant atmosphere, and also strengthens the practicality of protecting the crown.

The highlight of the full range of Elantra watches is that they are fully equipped with a self-winding mechanical movement equipped with silicon hairspring and non-magnetic innovative parts, ensuring stable operation and excellent antimagnetic performance. The watch models are fully modified with a screw-in transparent watch back, and still have high practical waterproof up to 100 meters, meeting the wearing needs of outdoor sports or daily life.

Elantra Watch is also equipped with a fine steel bracelet with a folding clasp, which meets the convenient needs of modern life. The bracelet adopts a tapered link design, which helps to improve the fit and comfort when wearing.

At present, Elantra watches have been introduced in three sizes, among which the most widely concerned is the chronograph function model in the advanced small and complex field with a diameter of 42 mm. Concas series Elantra chronograph watches are equipped with L898 chronograph movement using silicon hairspring in the escapement system. This movement is specially made by ETA for Longines watches, and has excellent performance in diamagnetism, accuracy and durability.

Panda has both timing and fashion and strength.

The chronograph is the Concas series at present.

The case is made of stainless steel with a black ceramic bezel, which is available in three colors: black, brown and silver matte. Because the L898 chronograph movement is the layout of the classic three-eye chronograph dial, the matching of the three-eye chronograph dial and the face dial directly affects the overall visual quality. Longines watch uses the color with a bright contrast effect with the face dial for the chronograph dial, which is strongly called the color matching of the panda plate. On the one hand, it improves the readability, and on the other hand, it is durable and easy to wear.

Ten events that changed the direction of China’s ancient history: everything can affect the history of thousands of years.

In the winter of the thirty-seventh year of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty (the first 210 years), Qin Shihuang was seriously ill while touring the plain and Tianjin, and expected that his life would soon be over. However, Qin Shihuang’s head was still clear, and he wrote an imperial edict to Fu Su: "Buried with the funeral in Xianyang". Qin Shihuang died soon, and the imperial edict was also seized by Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao immediately colluded with Reese to tamper with the imperial edict, gave Fu Su and Meng Tian capital punishment, and changed Hu Hai to Qin Ershi. This incident completely disrupted the development track of the Qin Dynasty. According to the normal development, Fu Su, the eldest son, succeeded to the throne. "Historical Records" states that "Fu Su was benevolent." If Fu Su comes to power, it will certainly adjust the harsh ruling environment of the Qin Dynasty, reconcile social contradictions and continue the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

In 2008, Cao Cao, King of Wei Wu, who had basically unified the north, led 200,000 troops to conquer Sun Quan and Liu Bei in the south, and the two sides were at Chibi Station. As a result, Cao Cao was defeated by 50,000 Sun and Liu armies, and the unification of China failed. Before Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao had absolute strength to complete the reunification of China. However, after Battle of Red Cliffs’s failure, Sun Quan consolidated his position in Jiangdong, while Liu Bei took the opportunity to make progress in Yizhou, which continued the separatist strength. After the failure of this reunification, China once again realized the real great reunification, and it was not until the Sui Dynasty.

In 383, Fu Jian had unified the north, and it was only an Eastern Jin Dynasty away from the unification of China. At this time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was poor and weak, but the north just had an economic war and the economy had yet to recover. However, Fu Jian was eager for reunification, so he mobilized 800,000 troops to March south, and was finally defeated by 80,000 troops in the Eastern Jin Dynasty on the Huaihe River. After that, Fu Jian was killed and the north was divided again. If Fu Jian consolidates the rule in the north and sends troops again, it can maintain the rule in the north, even if it cannot be unified.

In 471, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty succeeded to the throne and began a large-scale sinicization reform, and moved the capital to Luoyang. This reform has made Xianbei people completely integrated into the Han nationality, creating conditions for the reunification of China. Without Emperor Xiaowen’s reform, the north will be ruled by the Hu people for a long time, and the Han regime can only settle in the southeast, even leading to the powerful rule of China by the Turks. Emperor Xiaowen’s reform has solved the crisis of "five random flowers" and enabled Chinese civilization to continue to exist and develop.

Emperor Yangdi was originally an excellent emperor, who made great contributions to the unification and territorial expansion of China. However, one thing that Emperor Yangdi did made all his efforts come to naught, that is, three levies of Korea. From 612 to 614, Emperor Yangdi made three expeditions to Koguryo, all of which ended in failure. It can be said that the army mobilized by the three expeditions to Korea was unprecedented, which basically consumed the national strength of the Sui Dynasty, so that the rebellion occurred and the princes became independent. Otherwise, the Sui Dynasty would have existed for quite a long time.

In 755, the thriftiness of the three northern towns caused An Lushan to launch a rebellion, and Shi Siming was involved in this incident, so it was called "An Shi Rebellion". The turmoil lasted until 763. The Anshi Rebellion destroyed the productive forces in the north of the Tang Dynasty, which led to the shift of China’s economic center of gravity to the south. In the process of suppressing the Anshi Rebellion, local envoys took the opportunity to establish a buffer region, and the Tang Dynasty fell into the era of the separatist regime of the buffer region and went into decline. In fact, the Anshi Rebellion should have been put down soon. The reason why it caused such great damage was that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty executed Gao Xianzhi and Geshuhan, the commanders of Tongguan, and changed the war pattern.

In 936, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Khitan in the north had risen. In order to get the support of the Khitan, Shi Jingtang ceded sixteen states of Youyun to the Khitan. Subsequently, with the support of the Khitan, Shi Jingtang destroyed the Later Tang Dynasty, established the Later Jin regime, and called the Khitan "the son emperor". This incident had a far-reaching impact on China, and the Central Plains was completely exposed under the iron hoof of the Khitan, which was an important reason for the weakness of the Song Dynasty.

In 1259, Mongolian Khan Mongo led hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege the southwest military castle-Fishing City. In this battle, the Mongolian army could not attack for a long time, and Mongo was killed by an arrow, and Mongolia was forced to withdraw. After Mongo’s death, there was a war for the position of Khan in Mongolia, and the pace of Mongolia’s western expedition also stopped. Subsequently, Kublai Khan, who supported the Han culture, won the victory and established the Yuan Dynasty. And several great khanates in Mongolia have also split out. Therefore, the battle of Fishing City not only changed the history of China, but also changed the history of the world.

In 1398, Zhu Yuanzhang died, and his grandson Zhu Yunwen succeeded him as his Emperor. Emperor Jianwen advocated judo and benevolent governance, which could correct many disadvantages of Zhu Yuanzhang’s period. However, shortly after Zhu Yunwen came to power, the "Battle of Jing Nan" broke out because of the problem of reducing vassals. Zhu Di, the prince of Yan, replaced the rule of Emperor Jianwen and became Emperor Yongle, and moved his capital to Beijing. Emperor Yongle’s measures to govern the country are no different from Zhu Yuanzhang’s. His coming to power deepened the autocratic rule of the Ming Dynasty.

In 1644, Li Zicheng led the peasant army into Beijing and overthrew the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Subsequently, Li Zicheng failed to deal with the Wu Sangui issue. Then Wu Sangui used the "Chen Yuanyuan Incident" as an excuse to openly collude with the Manchu regime and lead the Qing soldiers into the customs. Under the joint strangulation of Wu Sangui and Dourgen, the "Dashun" regime in Li Zicheng soon fell, and the Qing army went south, conquered the north and south of the great river and established the Qing Dynasty.

"China before and after the Great Revolution": the historical process of the National Revolution and modern China

On November 18th, 2023, the symposium on "China before and after the Great Revolution" was held in Baoshan Campus of Shanghai University. This seminar was hosted by the Department of History, College of Literature, Shanghai University, and hosted by the Center for Religious and China Social Studies, Shanghai University. Nearly 20 scholars from Fudan University, East China Normal University, Zhejiang University, Shandong University, China Academy of Social Sciences, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, Chongqing University, Shanghai University, Nanjing Normal University and other units attended the meeting and spoke. More than 10 master’s and doctoral students attended the meeting. With the theme of the National Revolution in the 1920s, the conference focused on China’s political situation and psychology, the evolution of China’s political culture, the encounter and fate of characters, and China’s belief world and its evolution. The agenda includes three parts: the opening ceremony, four discussions and the summary of the meeting. The participating scholars came from many research fields, such as the history of the Republic of China, the history of the revolution and the history of the Communist Party of China. They shared the latest thoughts on the Great Revolution from different perspectives and exchanged and discussed related issues.

The opening ceremony was officially held at 9: 00 am on November 18th. Associate Professor Yang Xiongwei from the Department of History, College of Literature, Shanghai University, as the initiator of the meeting, thanked all the scholars who came to Shanghai University, and briefly introduced the origin and academic significance of convening this meeting. Wang Hao, director of the Center for Religious and China Social Studies of Shanghai University, gave a welcome speech, introduced the historical origin and current situation of the Center for Religious and China Social Studies, and wished the conference a complete success.

The first meeting was presided over by Associate Professor Feng Xiao from School of Marxism, Shanghai University. There were four speakers and four commentators.

Xu Jin, a professor in the history department of Shandong University, re-examined the political ecology of Guangzhou on the eve of the Northern Expedition from the perspective of suspicion. He believes that the political situation in Guangdong surged from 1925 to 1926, and one of the important clues was the atmosphere of suspicion everywhere. Suspicion is caused by the rapid change of power relations in Guangdong, which in turn intensifies the political turmoil. Coupled with the rumors created by public opinion, the political situation in Guangdong during this period was full of suspicions and contradictions. Professor Li Fangchun from the Institute of Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences of Chongqing University commented on this paper. He thinks that the existing rumor research mostly emphasizes the social level, and this paper pays attention to the political meaning, so we should think about how to strengthen the dialogue with the existing research. In addition, historical research emphasizes that returning to the historical scene requires distinguishing and discriminating the terms of all parties at that time. Professor Li Fangchun gave a report on "Qu Qiubai on Gentry and Modern Social Changes in China during the Great Revolution". From the perspective of sociology, he discussed the formation process of "gentry" in Qu Qiubai’s eyes, and thought that Qu Qiubai’s pioneering discussion on the problem of China gentry during the National Revolution represented the most systematic and in-depth theoretical understanding at that time. Yang Xiongwei, an associate professor, commented on the report, arguing that the article needs to further explore the changes in Qu Qiubai’s cognition and make it clear whether it is just words spoken in different fields, and the process of "gentrification" in this foreign language needs to be further elaborated and sorted out.

Professor Liu Changlin from the Department of History of Shanghai University gave an academic report entitled "From Utopia to Realism —— The Process of China’s Early Communists Accepting Marxism". He put the thoughts and practices of Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Mao Zedong and Hui Daiying into the grand historical narrative at that time, sorted out the process of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people choosing Marxism among many social transformation ideas, and pointed out that their understanding of Marxism had experienced a long period of "gradual enlightenment". Xu Tao, a researcher at the Institute of History, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, commented on the report. He thought that the article was broad in vision and rich in materials, which was helpful for a clearer understanding of the course of Marxism’s introduction into China. At the same time, it also discusses some expressions in the article, and thinks that the ideological changes at that time were violent and rapid, and "gradual enlightenment" may not be in line with the context. Professor Zeng Yaorong of Marxism College of Hunan University of Humanities and Science then discussed the differences and consensus between the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Comintern in revolutionary strategy before and after the Great Revolution from the comparative perspective of Comintern Executive Committee and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, with the title "Consensus and Differences —— Comintern Executive Committee and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Choice of Revolutionary Strategy in China", and pointed out that the two experienced the transition from consensus to disagreement, and then from disagreement to consensus. Professor Liu Changlin thinks that the problem consciousness and methods in this article are based on a comparative perspective, and the CPC, as a branch of the Communist International at that time, needs to clearly point out its different opinions in this article.

The discussion in the second meeting was presided over by Professor Liu Changlin from the History Department of Shanghai University. There were four speakers and four commentators.

Xu Tao, a researcher at the Institute of History of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, gave a report on Sun Yat-sen and Hu Shi before and after the Chen Jiongming mutiny. He pointed out that at present, academic circles mostly interpret the mutiny in Chen Jiongming from a military perspective, lacking attention to the field of public opinion. During this period, Hu Shi took the initiative to stand on the opposite side of Sun Yat-sen, reflecting the struggle for the right to speak outside the battlefield. From the relationship between the two, the research perspective can be transferred to Beijing. Yang Xiongwei, an associate professor, commented on this. He took Sun Yat-sen and Chen Duxiu mentioned by Hu Shi in Miscellaneous Notes in the Mountains and Qu Qiubai as an example, supplemented by a letter from Jin Jiafeng to Hu Shi after Sun Yat-sen’s death, and pointed out that we can re-pay attention to the complexity of political relations from the perspective of interpersonal relationships. Zhang Yangliang, an associate professor at the School of Marxism of East China Normal University, focuses on Wang Jingwei’s efforts to unite the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the national revolutionary camp in 1927, and points out that the Joint Declaration jointly issued by Chen Duxiu and Wang Jingwei on April 5, 1927 was an important measure for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to ease the tension between the two parties, but in terms of practical results, the Joint Declaration not only failed to eliminate the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Li Li, an associate professor at the Institute of Socialist History and Literature of East China Normal University, commented. He pointed out that the analysis of Wang Jingwei’s mentality involved the interpretation of various materials, and suggested that the text nature of the Joint Declaration should be explained.

National Revolutionary Army Northern Expedition

Han Shu, an associate professor in the history department of Shanghai University, shared the topic of "Research on the Case-filing of Private Universities in the Late Period of Beijing Government Rule". He investigated the filing of private universities from 1922 to 1928 by sorting out and interpreting the original files of 24 private universities in the later period of Beijing government collected by Taipei National History Museum. Feng Xiao emphasized the relationship between the prosperity of modern universities and government funding in his comments. Huang Fu, a postdoctoral fellow at China Frontier Research Institute of China Academy of Social Sciences, gave a speech entitled "Center-Edge Evolution of Frontier Military and China Revolution —— An Investigation Centered on the Troops stationed in Guangdong and Yunnan (1922-1925)", focusing on the "Edge-Center" evolution of the status of the troops stationed in Guangdong and Yunnan before and after the Great Revolution. Its rise and fall process not only showed the power game and political choice of the frontier military forces in the political vortex of China, but also reflected the frontier military forces. Zeng Yaorong commented on Huang Fu’s research. He pointed out that the Yunnan army once held the banner of righteousness for the first time in the movement to protect the country. It is necessary to think about whether the Yunnan army also has a revolutionary tradition. The term "passive revolution" in the article may be inappropriate, and then suggested that the first part of the article should be discussed from the perspective of "revolutionary ideal and living reality".

The discussion in the third meeting was presided over by Associate Professor Han Shu from the History Department of Shanghai University. There were six speakers and six commentators.

Li Li, an associate professor at the Institute of Socialist History and Literature of East China Normal University, gave an academic report on the topic of "Distribution of Street Publicity Materials of the Underground Party of the Communist Party of China". He pointed out that the distribution of street publicity materials has always been an important way of revolutionary propaganda of the Communist Party of China, requiring party organizations at all levels to formulate and distribute street publicity materials according to organizational processes, requiring all employees to participate, which shows that they attach great importance to the distribution of street publicity materials. Commentator Zhang Yangliang affirmed the novelty of this article and put forward some suggestions. He thought that the concept of street publicity materials and the research area and time period should be defined more clearly, and historical materials can be added to reflect the variability of publicity effects and methods.

Li Fubo, a master student of China Modern History Department of Huazhong Normal University, gave a report on the topic "Public Opinion, People’s Heart and Politics —— An Analysis of Guo Songling’s Anti-Feng Incident", pointing out the complicated political public opinion background in Guo Songling’s Anti-Feng Incident in 1925. After the incident, all public opinions participated in the discussion, publicity and shaping of Guo Songling’s Anti-Feng Incident as an important resource to win people’s hearts and influence current affairs. Fei Xingjian, a doctoral student in the School of Social Development of Nanjing Normal University, commented that the time line of the article is very clear about the war situation and the change of public opinion, but the definition of the concept of public opinion is not very accurate, and the use of some materials is a little far-fetched. In addition, the concept of "human heart" can be studied from a more macro perspective. Later, Fei Xingjian gave an academic speech entitled "Armed Action Directed by Dressed party member: Uprising in Southern Jiangsu from the Perspective of Party Organization Interaction", indicating that Party organizations at different levels, such as the Central Committee, the Provincial Party Committee, the Special Committee and the County Party Committee, had different understandings and cognitions about the uprisings in Jiangsu due to their different positions and their own considerations, and thought that the uprisings in southern Jiangsu could not be simply attributed to "putschism". Professor Wang Caiyou from the History Department of Hangzhou Normal University commented on Fei Xingjian’s research, and thought that the article should focus on the particularity of Jiangsu to distinguish it from riots in other regions. In addition, the time line of the article should be further clarified to maintain the consistency of the content. Professor Zeng Yaorong suggested that we should first clarify the specific attitudes and instructions of the Comintern and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China at this time, so as to provide reference for examining the riots in southern Jiangsu.

Xu Chang, a Ph.D. student in history department of Fudan University, reported on the topic "Seeking a breakthrough through temptation-the daily contact between Soviet Ambassador to China Karakhan and the ministers of the great powers". He took Karakhan, the first Soviet ambassador to China after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the Soviet Union in 1924, as the research object, and revealed the game of great powers implied in the daily contact and interaction between Soviet Ambassador Karakhan and the ministers of the great powers by combing Karakhan’s own communication collection and related diplomatic archives in Chinese and English. Huang Fu commented on Xu Chang’s research. He thought that the topic of this article was novel, but there were still some shortcomings. For example, the concept of "daily contact" in the title should be explained more clearly. Secondly, the types of historical materials in the article were relatively single, so the British diplomatic archives could be appropriately increased. In addition, the article can briefly explain the internal relations and contradictions of the minister group.

Dr. Yang Yang, a lecturer at the School of Marxism of Shanghai University, gave a report on the problem of the off-site movement of members of the Communist Party of China in the early days of the founding of the Communist Party of China and its organizational response. He pointed out that the frequent off-site movement of members of the Communist Party of China brought a number of problems to the development and organizational operation of political parties. There are three main reasons for this phenomenon: one is personal reasons, the other is the deployment of party organizations, and the third is the influence of political changes. the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has taken a series of countermeasures to this problem, which provided experience for the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to move to party member from major cities to Soviet areas in the future. Zheng Weiwei commented on Yang Yang’s speech and thought that the article needed a clear timeline and determined the research area. You can dig deep into the materials and try to make a case study.

The fourth meeting was chaired by Dr. Yang Yang, and there were five speakers and five commentators.

Professor Liao Dawei, Department of History, College of Literature, Shanghai University, wrote the article "Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the Enrollment of Whampoa Military Academy in Shanghai", which studied the specific enrollment process of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in Whampoa Military Academy after the Chen Jiongming mutiny in 1922, revealed their respective roles in the enrollment of Whampoa Military Academy in Shanghai, and also discussed the development and effect of the early youth movement of the Communist Party of China. Commentator Han Shu suggested that the problem consciousness could be further clarified. Instead of talking about "cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party" in general, it is better to highlight the theme and emphasize the "competition" factors surrounding enrollment. Professor Wang Caiyou from the History Department of Hangzhou Normal University gave a report on the evolution of Kuomintang factions before and after the Great Revolution-centering on Chen Xihao. Taking Chen Xihao as a case, he sorted out the relationship between Chen Xihao and the Dingjia Party with the help of various files and biographical materials, and pointed out that Chen Xihao, who had long been regarded as a representative of the CC school, was also closely related to Ding Weifen, a Kuomintang veteran who was once defined as "leftist" by the Chinese Communist Party. This leftist career can provide us with different specific cases and perspectives for understanding the evolution of the Kuomintang factions. Commentator Xu Chang thinks that Wang Caiyou’s research is enlightening, reminding us to rethink the importance of geography, academic affinity and other factors for factional division under the traditional "left" and "right" factional disputes.

Feng Xiao made a report on "New Elite Education and the Development of Political Parties —— Based on the Investigation of Shanghai University from 1922 to 1927", and investigated the process of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s cultivation of new political elites through Shanghai University, which had a profound impact on the development and growth of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Dr. Ding Yi, a lecturer at Marxist College of Zhejiang University, commented on Feng Xiao’s speech, pointing out that the concept of "new political elite education" in the article is vague and needs to be distinguished from the concepts of "political party elite" and "educational elite". Later, Ding Yi gave a report entitled "Learning Valve and Public Opinion Propaganda and Discourse Construction in the Educational Field in the 1920s". He pointed out that the meaning of "learning valve" changed from broad to clear in the historical context of 1920, and it became more and more negative, which reflected the complex and subtle connection between revolution and discourse in the educational field of 1920′ s. Li Fubo commented on Ding Yi’s report. He thought that the article should not only focus on collecting historical materials of "Xuefa" for discussion, but also mention other social images of the so-called "Xuefa" in the same period. Zhang Jialin, a master student in the Department of Modern History in China, Shanghai University, gave a lecture on "Local tyrants and evil gentry" or "counter-revolution" —— an analysis of the wanted event of Zhang Yan in 1927. He pointed out that the real reason for Zhang Yan’s wanted event was the "bad blood" between him and Mao Zuquan, which was the epitome of the interaction between the national government and local gentry. Yang Yang commented on Zhang Jialin’s article and thought that the title of the article failed to reflect the problem consciousness of the full text.The article should further explore the theme of the relationship between the Kuomintang and local gentry during the Great Revolution.

After the discussion of the four meetings, Associate Professor Yang Xiongwei presided over the meeting summary and speech session, and all the participating scholars delivered speeches in turn. Everyone agreed that the National Revolution in the 1920s profoundly changed the historical process of modern China, and this meeting was held at the right time. I believe that the discussion of the participating scholars will not only enhance their academic exchanges, but also inject more vitality into the study of the history of the Great Revolution.

In-depth integration and development of cultural tourism in various places

Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, reciting the Preface of Tengwang Pavilion for free tickets; Datang, a city that never sleeps in Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province, won a souvenir with "Li Bai" on poetry; Enjoy the "Oriental Sculpture Exhibition Hall" at Maijishan Grottoes in Tianshui, Gansu … This year, the cultural tourism market continues to heat up, and many places "add points" for cultural tourism consumption.

In recent years, the trend of cultural inheritance and development driving the cultural tourism market has become more and more obvious. Cultural heritage sites, archaeological sites, historical and cultural cities (towns), national cultural parks and other cultural tourism destinations create new consumption scenes and attract more and more tourists. According to statistics, in 2022, more than 70% of tourists participated in more than two cultural activities on holidays. Under the background of deep integration and development of cultural tourism, cultural tourism projects carrying excellent Chinese traditional culture have attracted much attention.

Innovative development of cultural attractions is full of vitality.

At the beginning of the Hua Deng, it was located around Sansu Temple in Dongpo District, Meishan, Sichuan. There were many tourists coming and going, and the streets became more and more lively. "Night tour of historical and cultural blocks, exquisite architectural decoration lighting layout, people feel a different kind of historical charm." A tourist lamented.

It is the key to attract and retain tourists to have excellent cultural tourism projects. Dongpo District has vigorously developed the night economy, created a cultural tourist area of "Dongpo Drunk with the Moon", launched five characteristic tourist routes, and developed more than 10 research courses. In 2022, the number of A-level scenic spots in the whole region was 1.0282 million, and the total tourism revenue was 4.782 billion yuan.

Not only Dongpo District and Sansu Temple, in recent years, more and more places have modernized and innovatively presented cultural attractions, avoiding "one-size-fits-all visits to historical sites" and enhancing tourism attraction.

In Qufu, Shandong Province, Nishan Shengjing Scenic Area launched a large-scale live performance "Golden Sound and Jade Zhen" integrating sound and photoelectricity, which brought the audience an immersive appreciation of the charm of Chinese excellent traditional culture; In Wuhan, Hubei Province, a series of activities invited tourists to punch in the historical scenic area of Hankou and get to know the ancient and modern Jiangcheng again …

Innovative development has opened up a new path for the integration of cultural tourism.

Walking in Nanping, Fujian, where Zhu Xi Garden is located, you can often meet "cartoon Zhuzi" in the streets. From urban landscape, cultural tourism products to animation works, the vivid image of Zhu Xi and Zhu Zi culture have quietly entered people’s daily lives. Lei Xiying, head of the creative team of Cartoon Zhuzi, said: "We will continue to explore Zhuzi culture to make this cultural image more three-dimensional and vivid."

Tang Xiaoyun, vice president of China Tourism Research Institute, said that all localities should cultivate cultural heritage, promote the transformation of cultural and tourism resources into cultural and tourism products, and form a large tourism industry with multi-support, multi-industry symbiosis and multi-integration, so as to stimulate consumption potential with rich supply of cultural and tourism products and diverse cultural and tourism integration formats.

Film and television works have great potential to drive consumption.

Going to a place because of a drama, a movie or a program is a new phenomenon in the current tourism market.

The city streets full of fireworks, unique human history and fascinating scenic spots have made the audience yearn for it; With the help of the spread of film and television works to enhance their popularity, they can attract more tourists who come here.

90% of the location of the hit drama "Go to a Windy Place" was shot in Dali, Yunnan Province, and the location of the location was widely known. According to reports, during the Spring Festival holiday of the Year of the Rabbit, Dali received a total of 4,239,300 tourists, an increase of 219% year-on-year.

Another drama series, Long Moon Blooms, has benefited Bengbu, Anhui Province, whose cultural background is related to it. This year’s "May 1" holiday, Bengbu Cultural Tourism Bureau designed a tour route around the play and opened four free bus lines, allowing fans to punch in the same scenic spot in one step. The data shows that during the May 1 holiday, Bengbu received a total of 4.176 million tourists, up 162.39% from 2019.

"The prosperity of the Commercial Street is amazing, just like the Tang Dynasty in the movie!" Rolling, a senior high school student from Guangzhou, Guangdong, quickly booked a ticket and went to Xi ‘an after watching the movie "Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an", and visited the city that never sleeps on the night of his arrival.

Under the general trend of "film and television+cultural tourism", the popularity of cultural attractions has further started through the presentation of film and television dramas. According to reports, in July this year, Xi’ an City Wall ushered in the peak of passenger flow, an increase of 110% compared with the same period in 2019; The official summer study route launched by the producers of "Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an" is very popular.

On-line and on-line same frequency resonance, new format

Through social platforms to promote local scenery, online and offline new formats of cultural tourism with the same frequency resonance emerge one after another.

Tang Xiaoyun said that the proportion of catering consumption in tourism consumption has remained above 20% for a long time, and 90% of tourists will taste local specialties after arriving at their destinations. Among them, the driving effect of network anchors and bloggers has gradually emerged.

A food blogger on the video website, Li Li, shoots short videos of traditional food, which often attracts netizens to follow the local punch card for early adopters. In the first food video shot in Shandan County, Zhangye City, Gansu Province, diners and chefs sit around and taste the local specialties. Once the video was broadcast, the local passenger flow rose rapidly, and many foreign tourists lined up at the door of the store.

The "national tide" has become a new fashion of consumption, driving the consumption related to intangible cultural heritage to grow steadily. According to the data of Meituan and public comments, in the first three quarters of this year, the search volume with "non-legacy" as the key word increased by 168% year-on-year, and the group purchase orders related to the theme of "non-legacy" increased by 245% year-on-year.

On the public comment APP, a shop called "No.93 Hospital Intangible Heritage Workshop" was very popular, which attracted many netizens to trace it to the front door of Beijing. According to reports, there are nearly 30 group buying projects in the store, and customers can personally make intangible cultural relics with old Beijing characteristics.

According to the interviewees, culture and tourism have entered a new stage of deep integration: on the one hand, there are many types of products, and traditional culture and tourism integration products such as scenic spots, national culture festivals, cultural relics trails and archaeological research are well recognized by the market; On the other hand, there are many ways of integration, such as movies, performing arts, music, cultural creation, digital cultural tourism and festivals. Experts suggest that relevant departments, industry organizations, platform organizations and practitioners should give full play to their respective advantages and leverage their strength to activate new kinetic energy of consumption with traditional culture and realize two-way empowerment of cultural inheritance and development and cultural tourism consumption upgrading.

Cultural perspective shows the myriad weather of China literature in the new era.

Winners of the 11th Mao Dun Literature Award.

During the trip to the sun and the moon, Xinghan is brilliant. Last night, the "2023 China Literature Festival Mao Dun Literature Night" was held in Tongxiang, Zhejiang Province, Mr. Mao Dun’s hometown. It was broadcast simultaneously on the network platforms such as Zhejiang Satellite TV and iQiyi, paying tribute to the writers who "climbed" the literary peak, so that outstanding writers’ works could meet the public with richer literary forms and more novel ways of communication.

Five novels, Yang Zhijun’s Snow Mountain Land, Qiao Ye’s Treasure Water, Liu Liangcheng’s Bemba, Sun Ganlu’s A Thousand Miles of Scenery and East-West Echo, won the 11th Mao Dun Literature Award. They are an important review of the literary achievements in the new era, reflecting the common efforts of writers to tell the story of China well, and showing the myriad weather of China literature in the new era.

Literary Memo and Spiritual History of Chinese Modernization

Mao Award-winning works are literary memoranda and spiritual history of Chinese modernization. He Xiangyang, director and critic of the Creative Research Department of the Chinese Writers Association, analyzed the respective characteristics of the winning works and pointed out the general common characteristics: "The winning works all have a vigorous and distinctive spirit of the times, which embodies the new achievements of novels in the past four years. Have deep practical concerns. The novel shows literary concern for reality. This concern is not superficial, but deep inward excavation; With burning people’s feelings, the works such as Snow Mountain Land, Precious Water and Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains are all among the people, starting from people, closely linking individual people with the people, writing about my love for the people, and writing about how I fit into us. Deep love for the people is revealed in the writing of’ the great country’; Has a solid local style and innovative spirit. From the new era to the new era, contemporary literature has experienced the development of reform and opening up for more than 40 years, forming a solid Chinese local style and innovative spirit of integrating human culture. Each of the five novels has its own style innovation, which is remarkable in terms of characterization, novel structure and language features, and reflects the return of realism spirit to varying degrees. This is an open-minded realism through the development of the times and the creation of the main body, which combines the advantages of heroism, idealism, romanticism and classicism, and shows the realism with China’s cultural aesthetic concept and the spirit of the times. "

Cong Zhichen, the judge and critic of this year’s Mao Prize, remembered the days of the award: "We have a deeper understanding of the literary pursuit of Mao Dun’s literary prize, that is, the unity of the times, the people and the innovation: writers saw the glory of the times worthy of being recorded in literature in ordinary people; Award-winning works all reflect the strong demand of reflecting and understanding the times, and show the exploration courage of understanding the world and expressing the times in literature; The image of newcomers, avant-garde style, multiple narrative methods and the use of narrative means in genre literature and film and television literature all reflect the importance that Mao Award attaches to innovation. "

Telling the story of China well needs to be "deep", which is the methodology of literature. Ji Yaya, the executive editor and critic of October magazine, thinks that the characteristics of the times reflected in this Mao Award are the "action" of literature: "Writers go to the vast land of China to write about the experience and practice of the times, and a perceptual way and aesthetic way rooted in the vast land of China are growing, and the roots must touch the fresh experience of the land, and we are emotionally connected with the land, thus growing the subjectivity of contemporary literature. Award-winning works go to the depth of history and culture, to the scene of rural construction, to show the light of humanity and idealism in history and times, which is the’ thousand miles of mountains and rivers’ of heroism and the’ echo’ of countless ordinary people’s hearts. Baoshui and Bemba, first published by October magazine, are the fruits of contemporary writers’ deep roots in the earth. "

Yang Zhijun, a writer, has lived in Qinghai for nearly 40 years. The stories in the novel are all his own experiences. He is very emotional: "The writing process of Snow Mountain Land is to plunge into the embrace of snow mountain land, look back on his childhood and youth with deep affection for grassland and love for ghee, and write how his fathers survived and developed in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for half a century, and how to work together with local Tibetan compatriots to help each other." The blending of the life history of fathers and the history of modernization in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau makes the novel full of artistic appeal, which provides important creative practical experience for deepening life, improving realistic creative techniques and telling the story of China well.

"For literary writers, the great changes that are taking place in rural China are a rich literary mine with unlimited possibilities. To dig treasure in it, foot strength, eyesight, brain power and pen power are really indispensable. " This is the writer Qiao Ye’s important experience in writing "Treasure Water". She went into the village in the way of "running to the village" and "soaking in the village", went deep into life, listened and recorded immersively, and heard the subtle worries hidden in the depths of villagers and village cadres, and had a kind of empathy. Countless vivid details make Qiao Ye truly realize the harvest of "deep plunge" and the dialectical relationship between big times and small details: "A broad era must be attached to these details, and this detail is built by countless ordinary people’s tiny things, just like a trickle will eventually become a river."

The biggest feature of the winning and nominated works of this year’s Mao Award is to focus on the development of China society in the new era since the reform and opening up. On the one hand, it shows the current reality of China, the people’s life and the spiritual world; On the other hand, it pays attention to the inheritance of Chinese excellent traditional culture and the cultural contribution of the Chinese nation to Community of Shared Future for Mankind. Wujun, a judge and critic of this Mao Prize, said: "Telling China’s story well has become the conscious consciousness of contemporary writers, and the ability to tell China’s story well has been fully improved. Mao Prize works are also model texts for telling China’s story well, and literary criticism should deepen discussion and research in this respect; Mao Prize works are also an important resource for college curriculum teaching. The introduction of contemporary literary classics into curriculum teaching is the mission of humanistic construction and talent training in universities in the new era. "

Run the spirit of innovation through the whole process of literary creation and communication

"Only by grasping the pulse of the times and taking root in people’s lives can our literature glow with new vitality. The writing of China’s experience, China’s story and China’s spirit is, in the final analysis, to open up the most authentic life experience and aesthetic experience among people. " Sun Ganlu, a writer, talks about literary innovation from two aspects: going deep into life and cultural inheritance: "Culture is the soul of a country and a nation and an important force for survival and development. Learn from the past and learn from the present. Every time about the re-practice and re-creation of literature, new ideas of the times, social concepts and humanistic spirit will be integrated, and the world will therefore present a new perspective and side. "

Bemba is a tribute to the epic Jianger. Liu Liangcheng, a writer, was inspired by the rap tradition of grassland culture to conceive Bemba. "I want to say my own voice outside these ancient and magical rap. At the end of epic speech, find your endless imagination and the way to structure a novel. Write your own words in the end of the language. " Liu Liangcheng devoted himself to his hometown, land and life, and explored the literary narrative of creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional culture.

Facing the ever-changing life of the times, how can writers integrate innovation in their literary creation? The writer shared his experience: "Put the spirit of innovation through the whole process of literary creation. First of all, we must find new inspiration in life, find new people in life, and develop new words in writing. " Talking about the writing of Echo, he was deeply touched: "As a writer, I am lucky. I am in the era of great changes, and China has changed both materially and spiritually. New characters are constantly emerging, new plots are emerging one after another, and new things are common. "

Xu Zechen, the winner of the 10th Mao Prize, said: "For me, Mr. Mao Dun is a predecessor and model in a double sense. It is a great honor for a writer to be lucky enough to win a literary prize named after Mr. Mao Dun. Mr. Mao Dun was also the first editor-in-chief of People’s Literature magazine where I worked. The literary and editorial tradition of People’s Literature initiated by him has influenced generations of People’s Literature people. I am deeply nourished and honored to be in this great tradition. "

Yang Yi, a young critic, is sensitive to the spread of literature in the new media era: "The China Literature Festival invites writers who are immersed in their study to the stage and screen to become the protagonists of the literary festival, which not only respects and affirms the writers’ creative work, but also stimulates the society’s attention to literature. The way of live broadcast on TV and online platforms shows the literary achievements of the new era enthusiastically and vividly, and the literary works with rich meanings draw the distance between the audience and the writers inside and outside the screen, especially attracting the young audience of generation Z, so that they can intuitively feel the writer’s gas field and literary charm, and resonate with the literature of the new era.

A comprehensive distinction between "culture" and "civilization"

Authors: Wang Ruliang, Hou Chuanwen (School of History, Nanjing University, College of Literature, Qingdao University)

Culture and civilization are two important categories in the field of humanities and social sciences, and they are also a pair of terms with similarities, differences and complex relationships. There have always been different views on the connotation and extension of the two and the relationship between them, or different perspectives, or positions first, and no relatively consistent and clear understanding has been formed. The author tries to distinguish it from a comprehensive perspective.

Definition: broad sense and narrow sense

From the perspective of etymology, the original meaning of "culture" is cultivation and farming. Compared with nature, everything created by human processing belongs to culture. Therefore, one of the most extensive definitions of culture is "culture is humanization", which means all human activities and their achievements. Taylor, a British cultural anthropologist, put forward in his book Primitive Culture that "culture or civilization, in its broad ethnological sense, is a complex whole including knowledge, faith, art, morality, law, customs and the abilities and habits acquired by anyone as a member of society". He regards culture and civilization as synonyms and refers to them as the overall achievement of human activities.

Culture in a broad sense can be divided into material, system, custom, spirit and other levels: material culture refers to the results created by manual labor; Institutional culture, including macro-level laws and regulations, administrative system and micro-level rules and regulations; Custom culture refers to customs, traditions and practices that have been established and passed down from generation to generation; Spiritual culture refers to the achievements of human spiritual activities with literature, history, philosophy, ethics, religion and aesthetics as the main connotations. Culture in a narrow sense mainly refers to human spiritual activities and their achievements, which is the fourth level in the above broad understanding. Marxism holds that "a certain culture is the ideological reflection of politics and economy in a certain society", and regards culture as a certain ideological form, that is, it belongs to a narrow understanding.

The word "civilization" originated from the ancient Latin civis and civilis, its original meaning is urban residents, and it is extended to the citizenship of the Romans, which means that it is superior to the living conditions of foreigners at that time, especially barbarians, so "civilization" is relative to "savage" or "primitive". However, the evolution and use of "civilization" in later generations are far more complicated. Fukuzawa Yukichi, a modern Japanese enlightenment thinker, pointed out: "The meaning of civilization can be interpreted in a broad sense and a narrow sense. In a narrow sense, it is simply to increase the material needs of human beings by manpower or to increase the appearance decoration of food, clothing and shelter. If interpreted in a broad sense, it is not only to pursue the enjoyment of food, clothing and shelter, but also to inspire Xiu De and raise mankind to a noble realm. " That is to say, the narrow sense of civilization is limited to the development in the material field, while the broad sense of civilization includes the development in the material field and the progress in the spiritual field. In his understanding, man is a senior life pursuing meaning, and naturally he should not be satisfied with food and clothing for a while; Civilization is dynamic, and awakening, independence and civilization are the only way for a nation to achieve civilization. In the context of China, the word "civilization" is often understood in its broad sense. For example, the Encyclopedia of China (Philosophical Volume) interprets civilization as the sum of material and spiritual achievements of human beings in transforming the world, and the History of Chinese Civilization edited by Yuan Xingpei also decomposes civilization into three aspects in its general introduction: material civilization, political civilization and spiritual civilization.

Relationship: diachronic and synchronic

From the diachronic point of view, "civilization" is the product of the development of culture to a certain stage, and the two have their own priorities. In a broad sense, culture is humanization. Since people came into being, there has been conscious or unconscious cultural creation, but not since people came into being. In this sense, civilization is a concept that represents the evolution of human history, as opposed to the uncivilized and barbaric cultural state. This can also be derived from the western etymology of the two: the root of culture, whose original meaning is farming, originated from the early agricultural production mode of human beings, and the root of civilization, whose original meaning is urban and civil, originated from the urban life that appeared in the later period of human beings.

The discussion on the symbol of civilization mainly focuses on the following aspects: politically, there are large urban settlements, magnificent public buildings, obvious class division of residents and the formation of a country; Economically, there is a developed social division of labor and commodity exchange, a relatively fixed tax system or a regular tribute system; Ideologically, there are relatively unified religious beliefs of the whole nation, including objects of worship and sacrificial ceremonies; In culture and education, there are the use of words and the development of science and technology, and there are some forms of schools. Only a society with the above symbols and characteristics in culture can be considered as a civilized society. In other words, the formation of a civilized society needs the accumulation and breakthrough of culture and special conditions and opportunities; Civilization is the result of human beings’ transformation of nature, society and themselves to a certain extent, and it is an advanced stage of cultural development.

From a synchronic point of view, there are two main types of understanding of the relationship between them at present. In the first category, the two are regarded as synonyms, which are interlinked and cross-cutting, and can be broadly understood as human activities and their achievements, either undifferentiated or biased. The former is like Taylor’s understanding in Primitive Culture, and the latter is like Qian Mu’s point of view, "Generally civilized culture refers to the life of human groups. Civilization is on the outside, which belongs to the material aspect. Cultural bias is a spiritual aspect. " The second category regards civilization as an aggregate that embodies cultural identity and classifies cultures. Huntington, an American scholar, thinks in The Clash of Civilizations and the Reconstruction of World Order that "a civilization is the most extensive cultural entity … civilization is the highest cultural classification of people and the widest range of people’s cultural identity". This view is more representative in international academic circles, such as The Decline of the West by Bingler, Historical Research by Toynbee, and The Rise of the West-The History of Human Community by McNeill. Huntington took religion as the main symbol to define different civilizations, and divided the world after the Cold War into eight civilizations: Christian civilization, Confucian civilization, Islamic civilization, Japanese civilization, Indian civilization, Orthodox civilization, Latin American civilization and African civilization. This is similar to the four major cultural circles in the world: European and American cultural circles with Christian culture as the main body, East Asian cultural circles with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism as the main body, South Asian cultural circles with Hinduism and Buddhism as the main body, and West Asian and North African cultural circles with Islamic culture as the main body. Comparatively speaking, "cultural circle" has been replaced by "civilization" in appellation.The number has expanded from four to many, and the same thing is that religion is the dividing standard.

Application: subjective and objective

Culture and civilization are objective academic terms, which do not reflect specific value judgments. However, in the process of practical application, it is often artificially subjective, and the more representative ones are "culture-centered theory" and "civilization superiority theory".

Cultural-centered theory takes "self" culture as the center, and holds that self-culture’s beliefs, values, lifestyles and behavioral norms are superior to "other" culture. It may be generated and used between different cultural groups, different cultural categories and different cultural regions within the same civilization, and it may also be generated and used between different civilizations. The former is like Huaxia centralism in ancient China, and the latter is like Western centralism in modern times. The theoretical point of the latter is that after the Enlightenment, bourgeois revolution and industrial revolution, western culture is more advanced and developed than the East in politics, economy, science and technology, representing historical progress and inevitability.

In view of all kinds of cultural centralism, in the second half of the 20th century, the debate between cultural universalism and cultural relativism arose all over the world. Cultural universalism holds that the truth and value of human beings are universal and absolute, and human cultures have similar goals, unified values and common laws of development, which will surely be unified under the leadership of advanced and advanced cultures. Cultural relativism is the result of reflection on deconstructing cultural universalism and facing multicultural phenomena. It emphasizes that each culture has heterogeneity and independence that other cultures cannot share. Therefore, culture is relative and cannot be compared according to a unified model. The author believes that culture has both universality and relativity. Universality is the commonality of human culture, and relativity is the individuality of various cultures. Only by recognizing the commonness of culture and respecting the individuality of culture can we break away from the stereotype of cultural centralism.

The theory of superiority of civilization is a subjective argument that advocates that one’s own civilization is superior to other civilizations in history or reality. In history, the most representative is the "white superiority theory" based on racial differences. Morgan pointed out in "Ancient Society": "Aryans and Sumerians were the first to break away from the civilized state among all branches of human beings … These two groups were essentially the founders of civilization." Because Aryans and semu are both white, some westerners draw the conclusion that white people created civilization earlier, and then form the theory of white superiority. In fact, the four ancient civilizations in the East were all multi-racial, and the yellow race, black race and white race all participated in the creation of civilizations. In reality, the most representative is the theory of stagnation of eastern civilization, which is another form of the theory of superiority of western civilization. Its main point is that the eastern civilization, which has tended to be patterned and stereotyped in philosophy, literature, education and other fields since modern times, has been in a state of stagnation and needs to be stimulated and saved by the western civilization, which has been constantly reborn and developed sharply. This argument became an excuse for colonialists to invade and expand. For example, Fukuzawa Yukichi once advocated the war of aggression against China as a "war of civilization".

In this regard, in 1853, Marx put forward the scientific conclusion of colonialism’s dual mission in two articles: British rule in India and the future result of British rule in India. "Britain has to complete its dual mission in India: one is to destroy the old Asian society; The other is the mission of reconstruction, that is, to lay a material foundation for a western-style society in Asia. " In other words, the colonialists "acted as an unconscious tool of history" while doing all the bad things. This is the dialectics of history, not the so-called victory of superior civilization.

In a word, culture and civilization need to distinguish between broad and narrow meanings according to specific contexts. The relationship between them can be analyzed from the synchronic and diachronic perspectives. The theory of cultural center and the theory of civilization superiority are the results of the subjective application of these two concepts, which should be clearly understood.

An analysis of the traditional cultural foundation of Chinese modernization

The cultural connotation and characteristics of Chinese modernization reflect the profound influence of China traditional culture on the modernization process. Comprehensive development, cultural self-confidence and innovation, and the integration of socialist core values make Chinese modernization not only have economic and technological modernity, but also have cultural depth and uniqueness, which not only helps China to cope with various challenges in the process of modernization, but also provides a solid cultural foundation for the all-round modernization of China society.

Cultural Foundation and Characteristics of Chinese Modernization

Chinese-style modernization is not only the modernization of economy and science and technology, but also a multi-dimensional comprehensive modernization process. This comprehensive development feature reflects the importance of China’s traditional culture to all-round development, and also highlights the uniqueness of Chinese-style modernization and the difference from the western model.

Emphasize comprehensive development. Chinese modernization emphasizes comprehensive development, which means not only economic and technological modernization, but also political, cultural and social modernization. This concept originated from the core idea of China’s traditional culture, and these values have been playing an important role in China society. Traditional culture emphasizes balance and harmony in all fields, reminding people to consider all aspects of society comprehensively to ensure social stability and prosperity. In the process of modernization, this comprehensive development concept is embodied in government policies. Political, economic, cultural, social and other fields must develop in harmony to achieve the goal of comprehensive modernization.

Strengthen cultural self-confidence and innovation. Chinese modernization advocates maintaining cultural self-confidence in the process of modernization. The root of this view can be traced back to the traditional culture of China, which emphasizes the importance of culture and confidence in one’s own culture. Chinese modernization emphasizes that while absorbing the essence of western culture, we should also stick to our own cultural foundation and maintain cultural self-confidence. Cultural self-confidence is not only respect for traditional culture, but also cultural innovation. Chinese modernization emphasizes the inheritance and innovation of traditional culture and encourages the creation of modern culture that integrates traditional elements.

Spread the core values of socialism. Chinese modernization emphasizes the spread and practice of socialist core values. Socialist core values include patriotism, collectivism, social fairness and justice and other important values, which have been strengthened and developed on the basis of China traditional culture. Socialist core values are not only the cultural heritage of China society, but also the moral and ideological pillar of Chinese modernization. In the process of Chinese-style modernization, socialist core values have been integrated into various fields, including education, media, law, etc., which is helpful to maintain national stability and social harmony and ensure that the modernization process is not only material development, but also accompanied by the promotion of culture and morality. Socialist core values emphasize civic responsibility and social responsibility, which is helpful to solve practical problems in development.

The value of excellent traditional culture to the development of Chinese modernization

Excellent traditional culture has a positive significance to the development of China, which not only enriches the cultural heritage of China, but also provides a solid cultural foundation for the stability and prosperity of China society. At the same time, China’s traditional culture has also played an important role in the international arena, establishing a positive international image for China and promoting cultural exchanges and cooperation.

Conducive to cultural inheritance and innovation. China’s excellent traditional culture is the essence of China’s history and culture, including Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism and other ideological systems, as well as China’s outstanding achievements in ancient literature, painting, music, philosophy and other fields. The inheritance of these traditional cultures provides valuable cultural resources for China society and has profound historical accumulation. The inheritance of traditional culture not only helps to maintain the continuity of culture, but also provides profound cultural reference for modern society. For example, values such as benevolence, filial piety and etiquette are helpful to build social trust and cohesion, and provide stability and cohesion for China society. At the same time, traditional culture also provides rich materials and inspiration for cultural innovation. China’s traditional art, literature, philosophy and other fields have profound connotations and unique forms of expression, which can provide reference and inspiration for modern cultural creation. Many modern cultural creations incorporate traditional elements, creating creative and cultural works, which not only helps to inherit traditional culture, but also enriches the diversity of modern culture.

It is conducive to enhancing cultural self-confidence and influence. The inheritance of traditional culture makes China have stronger cultural confidence and international influence on the international stage. China’s traditional culture has profound historical and philosophical connotations, which has aroused extensive interest of the international community. China’s ancient literature, philosophy, painting, calligraphy and other traditional art forms have always been studied and worshipped by international scholars and artists. This cultural self-confidence is not only reflected in the cultural field, but also extended to other fields, such as politics, economy and science and technology. China’s traditional culture emphasizes values such as modesty, self-discipline and harmony, which have also had a positive impact on international cooperation and contributed to the establishment and maintenance of stability and peace in the international community. By promoting its own culture, China has established a bridge of cultural exchange, established closer ties with other countries and enhanced its international influence.

It is conducive to promoting the harmonious development of modern society. The excellent ideas contained in excellent traditional culture emphasize the core values such as harmony, human relations and social responsibility. These values have had a far-reaching positive impact on the harmonious development of China society. Chinese traditional culture encourages people to pay attention to the maintenance of interpersonal relationships and social order. This will help reduce social contradictions and conflicts and promote social harmony. Chinese excellent traditional culture emphasizes the harmonious coexistence between nature and human beings, while emphasizing the rule of law and the maintenance of social order. These ideological systems are conducive to building a harmonious society in different fields. Traditional culture also emphasizes social responsibility and public awareness, and encourages people to actively participate in social affairs and make contributions to society. This value concept is still of great significance in modern society and helps to establish a more fair and just social order.

The Path of Better Developing Chinese Modernization Based on Excellent Traditional Culture

Better development of Chinese modernization based on excellent traditional culture will help to inherit traditional culture and develop modern culture, at the same time enhance China’s international influence, promote cultural mutual learning and cooperation, and provide important support and opportunities for the all-round development of Chinese modernization. By actively exploring and practicing these paths, China can better cope with all kinds of challenges in the process of modernization and realize all-round economic, social and cultural modernization.

Promote educational development and cultural inheritance. Education is a key field for shaping a new generation of citizens and an important way to inherit excellent traditional culture. In the field of education, it is very important to strengthen the inheritance and education of excellent traditional culture. This includes not only the teaching of traditional culture, but also the cultivation of students’ cultural self-confidence and cultural identity. Schools can add more traditional cultural elements to the education curriculum, such as Confucian classics, ancient literature, traditional music and art, which will help students better understand and appreciate their own cultural traditions. It is very important to cultivate students’ self-confidence in their own culture, which can be achieved by improving students’ understanding of traditional culture and encouraging them to participate in cultural activities and practice of traditional culture. Traditional culture and modern education are not contradictory and can be organically combined. For example, emphasizing traditional values in education, such as filial piety and friendship, can cultivate students’ sense of social responsibility and moral values. At the same time, traditional culture can also provide inspiration for modern science and technology and innovation, and encourage students to create and explore in various fields.

Vigorously innovate and develop cultural industries. Cultural industry is an important part of Chinese modernization, and it is also one of the ways to combine traditional culture with modern society. Supporting the innovative development of cultural industries and integrating traditional cultural elements into modern cultural products can create more cultural values and economic benefits. The innovation of cultural industry includes the creation of new cultural products and the integration of traditional cultural elements into contemporary cultural products. For example, movies, music and literary works can learn from the theme and spirit of traditional culture to attract more audiences and readers. Cultural and creative industry is a field that combines traditional culture with modern creativity, including design, fashion, art and other aspects. It can meet different needs through the reinterpretation and innovation of traditional cultural elements. China is rich in historical and cultural heritage, and developing it into cultural tourism resources can promote local economic development. By providing cultural experience, cultural tourism routes and cultural festivals, more tourists can be attracted to visit and study.

Pay attention to international exchanges and cooperation. Chinese modernization is not only a domestic challenge, but also an opportunity for international cooperation. Strengthening cultural exchanges and cooperation with other countries will help China’s culture to go global, and at the same time absorb the advantages of other cultures and realize mutual learning. Cultural exchanges with other countries can be strengthened through international cultural festivals, art exhibitions, academic seminars and other forms, which will help China’s culture spread more widely on the international stage and enhance the international community’s awareness and interest in China’s culture. By jointly promoting cultural cooperation projects with other countries, cultural mutual learning and cooperation can be promoted, including joint creation of cultural works, joint holding of cultural activities and exchange of cultural delegations. Besides, absorbing the advantages and experiences of other countries’ cultures can enrich China’s culture. For example, introducing foreign art forms, educational methods and cultural festivals will inject new elements and innovations into China culture.

Chinese modernization is closely related to Chinese excellent traditional culture, which provides an important cultural foundation and values for Chinese modernization. In the process of developing Chinese modernization, it is necessary to give full play to the positive role of traditional culture, maintain cultural self-confidence and realize cultural innovation at the same time, so as to promote the all-round modernization of China society. Through in-depth study and understanding of Chinese excellent traditional culture, China can better cope with various challenges in the process of modernization, while maintaining the uniqueness of its own culture. The inheritance and development of excellent traditional culture will promote Chinese modernization to be more balanced and harmonious, and provide strong support for the sustainable development of China society.

Great changes have taken place in the beauty market. Vipshop’s "2022 Beauty Hot Search List" unveiled three new trends.

2022 has come to an end, and this year is a year of intense changes for many people. Especially for the ever-changing beauty industry, this year is a year full of changes.

First of all, judging from the overall development status of the industry, this year is a painful period for the development of the beauty industry. The original rapid growth of the market traffic dividend is gradually peaking, and a large amount of capital has begun to withdraw from the beauty industry and switch to other industries, and beauty has experienced low tide.

However, under the predicament, some new trends have also become popular, which has led a large number of beauty brands to take off. For example, the "2022 Beauty Hot Search List" recently released by Vipshop, a special e-commerce platform, unveiled three major development trends of the beauty industry this year.

The first trend is that the consumption hotspots in the industry have changed. According to the search data of Vipshop last year, the three hottest beauty ingredients this year are hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid and nicotinamide. "Constituent parties" appear on major social media platforms, and effective skin care has become a well-deserved hot spot in skin care.

No matter what age, any woman is "anxious" about aging. According to relevant data, post-95 s and post-00 s are more afraid of old age than post-80 s and post-90 s, and the proportion of "very anxious" about aging ranks first in all ages. In the fight against aging, young people are becoming more and more "rolled up".

Some netizens said: "I feel that I am getting old rapidly, with more and more crow’s feet and more flabby skin. This feeling of watching myself get old day by day is really terrible."

The second point is the rise of domestic beauty brands. Within one year of this year, the overall sales of beauty cosmetics on Vipshop platform increased by 58.5% year-on-year, but the sales of a large number of domestic beauty cosmetics easily doubled.

For example, the sales of brands such as Huaxizi, Ximuyuan, Zhuben, Grain Rain, and Yeast have all achieved multiple growth in Vipshop this year. Especially in Vipshop, a "new brand plan" was launched to help domestic brands, and a large number of domestic beauty products stood out and were sought after by a large number of consumers.

Netizen Xiao Ceng said: "In the past, I bought beauty cosmetics from foreign brands. Now I have done a good job in domestic beauty cosmetics. Not only is the quality not worse than that of foreign brands, but the price is more affordable."

The third point is the rise of outdoor beauty track. More and more young people are starting to go out of their homes and take part in various outdoor sports, such as frisbee, cycling and hiking, which are all hot outdoor sports this year.

Young people are now more willing to wear sunscreen to go out and sweat than to do beautiful body care at home. In Vipshop, the search volume of sunscreen platform on the platform this year is more than twice that of whitening products.

From the rise of hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid and nicotinamide, to the rise of domestic products and outdoor beauty products, it is actually the same thing. Although the beauty market has experienced a peak in traffic, as long as it can meet the personalized and diversified needs of users, the market is equally hot.
