AStudyofLacquerwareDesignThoughtInLingnanRegion

(by ZHU Teng-fang)

Abstract: Based on the existing lacquer art in Guangzhou, Yangjiang, Chaoshan and other regions, and in combination with intangible cultural heritage theory, folk art studies, semiotics and the related theories of creation design, the construction of the relationship between “style”, “logic” and “appropriateness” in Lingnan lacquer art is proposed. Through the analysis of the characteristics of Lingnan lacquer art in terms of shape, color, decoration, craftsmanship, and material, its creation design ideas are summarized featuring inclusiveness, integration of principle and utensils, and the pursuit of perfection. Furthermore, it is further pointed out that Lingnan’s lacquer art creation design thought gradually developed by integrating the Confucian culture from the Central Plains and local culture, and absorbed other overseas cultural elements, and continues to develop and provide new cultural nutrients and ideological source for today’s innovation of traditional handicraft and modern art design.

AStudyoftheSelf-efficacyofEmployeesinIndustrialParksundertheNewNormal

(by HONG Lu-min, LIU Huan)

Abstract: Based on the Social Cognitive Theory, this study investigated 174 employees of 10 enterprises in Guangzhou A Industrial Park by means of questionnaire, interview and observation. It is found that more than 80% of the respondents’ self-efficacy in the park is lower than the average. The reason is that with the continuous upgrading of the park industry, employees are increasingly insufficient in working skills required for their new posts, i.g., the increase of online business highlights the lack of computer operation skills of employees and the lack of guidance and encouragement for them from superiors. It is suggested that enterprises help employees master job skills matching their positions and provide online business training and psychological counseling to help them develop lifelong learning habits. Managers should strengthen career guidance and recognize and reward employees in order to achieve a win-win situation.

(by HE Jing-shi)

Abstract: The industrial-urban-rural integration is the direction of balanced development of urban and rural areas and high-quality development of cities and industries in the new economic normal. Based on the panel data of 9 cities in the Pearl River Delta from 2008 to 2018, the DEA-CCR and Malmquist indexes are used to analyze the input and output efficiency of the industrial-urban-rural integration from both static and dynamic perspectives. The results show that the comprehensive efficiency and total factor productivity of the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta are on the decline, and the main reason is the technology retrogression. A projection analysis of Huizhou shows there is much room for improvement in indicators such as average GDP, population distribution density, the reform of village community to resident community, urbanization rate, and the participation rate of urban and rural endowment insurance.

TheImpactofScienceandTechnologyInnovationandAgriculturalMechanizationonAgriculturalEconomicGrowthinGuangdongProvince

(by DENG Wen-bo, WAN Hong-zhen)

Abstract：Based on Guangdong’s statistical data from 1995 to 2018, this paper constructs a VAR model of the relationship between scientific and technological innovation & agricultural mechanization and agricultural economy, and uses the Granger causality test and impulse analysis to study the impact of scientific and technological innovation and agricultural mechanization on agricultural economic growth. The results show that the innovation level has a long-term positive impact on the agricultural economic growth of Guangdong, and the innovation investment has a short-term positive impact, while the agricultural mechanization level has a short-term negative impact on the agricultural economic growth. Based on the research conclusions of the paper, it is suggested that input of agricultural research funds should be increased to promote research in and development of agricultural science and technology and improve the mechanization and specialization level of Guangdong’s agriculture.

TheDevelopmentandPathSelectionofthePunishmentPurposeTheory

(by LIU Cong-ying)

Abstract: The theory of the purpose of punishment has evolved from the retribution theory to the prevention theory. It is difficult to make a comprehensive explanation of the justification of punishment by a single theory of the purpose of punishment, and the comprehensive theory fails to solve the contradiction between retributivism and utilitarianism from a simple point of view. The significance of the purpose of punishment lies in its expression, which is both retrospective and forward-looking and can be directed to the specific subject of the crime as well as to the non-specific public. Through this framework, different functions of penalty are realized to different subjects at different stages.

OntheSpreadandDynamicCategorizationoftheCatchwordShichuifromthePerspectiveofMemetics

(by LI Rong)

Abstract: As a powerful meme, the catchwordShichuiis embodied in both genotype and phenotype in the process of replication and dissemination. In the process of replication and transmission, slow change and mutation coexist in the semantics ofShuichui, and the usage context also shows a tendency toward enlargement. Partial semantic variation of the memeShichuiand the meme variation caused by the host’s emotional change put it in slow change, and decategorization leads to its mutation. The prominence of longevity, fertility and fidelity of reproduction makes it a powerful word meme; the natural law, the need of the meme’s self-propagation and the lack of authoritative regulations and guidance put it in dynamic categorization.
