In the new era, state construction pursues the unity of the ideal vision of governance modernization and the realistic approach, which inevitably requires the system logic of grassroots governance in ethnic areas and the effectiveness of governance. Based on historical investigations, grassroots governance in ethnic areas has a special logic formed.

CritiqueofEssenceofMoralityandEthics:TheoreticalSignificanceandRealisticOrientation

JIANG Chang

After entering the civilized society, people have different views on morality. In the age of globalization, mankind should strive to reach a basic consensus on the understanding of morality. In essence, morality is the survival mode of human intelligent living. It is the matrix and foundation of the value system of modern society. As the fundamental stipulation of human being, morality is the main symbol that human being is different from everything in the universe. Morality is closely related to ethics and law. Ethics, as a moral order, is essentially the result of the action of moral norms. Morality is not only the basis of law, but also the substantive connotation of law. Personal moral quality is formed through moral education and moral cultivation, and social moral level is realized through moral construction. Morality is the comprehensive embodiment of human nature, which reflects the natural essence of human beings. It is of great significance to individuals and society: it is the body of personal happiness, the foundation of world peace and security, and the road of harmony between man and nature.

PublicandRestrictiveDevelopmentofConfucianMoralityduringtheMingandQingDynasties：AnalysisonThinkingTheoryandParadigmaticSignificanceofFANGYizhi’sEndeavourtoDefendMoralityviaIntegrationofTaoandLaw

ZHANG Zhao-wei

Fang Yizhi, a great thinker during theMingandQingdynasties, takes advantage of public Tao and restrictive law as medicine to cure the disease related to Confucian morality. Tao acts as an intermediary to avoid direct confrontation between morality and law. Their relationship is like the monarch and his subjects, which shows the complexity and diversity. Tao and law are mutually dominant and generated, and they can not only separate, but also integrate. Morality is like continuous reproduction. Extending the metaphor of sky and sun, just as both sky and sun take “unceasingly substance” as the background, Tao and law are based on the virtue of “unceasingly substance”(continuous reproduction), so as to establish the subject of Confucian morality and highlight the vitality of morality. According to the standard of Tao, morality and law, people’s moral level can be divided into three categories: the first category is those who have high-level Tao and morality. The second is those who come next to the first category, but above the law, including the hypocrite at the bottom. The third is those who are under the law, acting recklessly even violating the law.

StudyofLiteraryImplicationsandContributionsofChuang-tzu’sCognitiveMeditationofTaoismviaHermeneuticTerms

XU Jie

Chuang-tzu takes Three Sayings as a way and Taoism as an aim. In the process of reflecting Taoism, it is mostly presented by fables, during which a large number of creative words are used, which has a long historical echo in later literary creation and critical literature. In the actual use and writing, Chuang-tzu adopts the form of word chain for progressive cognition, which is quite fit with the idea of literary creation. We observe his construction of the body part of Taoism through his explanation of words and consider his contribution to literary creation and appreciation theory. All these will acquire new implications and thoughts.

SUN Yu-wen

It is the sacred mission of the majority of the researchers on Mandarin history to construct the theory of Mandarin history in the new time and to construct and perfect the new Chinese school in the study of Mandarin history. Summing up the experience and lessons of the study of Mandarin history, and the development of the subject in the future, we should make every effort to do a good job in six aspects under the premise of consciously making use of the advantages of the subject: strengthening the study of the relationship between Chinese and Chinese characters; strengthening the study of the relationship between classical Chinese and vernacular; strengthening the comprehensive study of Chinese form, pronunciation and meaning; strengthening the internal relations among phonetics, vocabulary and grammar, as well as the comprehensive study of the relationship among pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar; strengthening the cooperation between various branches of Mandarin history and other major of linguistics and literature, literature and other related majors. We should discuss each other and jointly explore key problems to form new research directions and new interdisciplinary disciplines. On this basis, the branches of Mandarin history, namely, the history of Chinese pronunciation, the history of Chinese vocabulary, the history of Chinese grammar, the history of Chinese rhetoric and the history of Chinese characters, should formulate their own research plans, expand their research fields, innovate research methods, and jointly promote the all-round development of the subject of Chinese history.

XIONG Tie-ji，YANG Zhi-kun

AnalysisonSpeechlessUrbanPublicityandEmpoweredAgendaFrame——AnEmpiricalStudyof31ChineseCities’InternationalCommunicationEffectBasedonTwitterData

ZHANG Yu-ye，YE Zhe-you

Some problems exist in the research on the effectiveness of external communication of city image in China, such as single city case, linear explanation, and low universality of countermeasures. Based on this, a model of explanatory factors affecting the external communication effect of city image is constructed using qualitative comparative analysis, and the communication effect of cities in 31 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions in China since 2013 is analyzed. The results show that, from the single explanatory factor, issue framework and coverage intensity exert the greatest influence on the communication effect, while the influence of city-level and cultural construction is not significant enough, indicating that the influence of micro explanatory factors is better than that of macro explanatory factors. From the combination of factors, the combination of strongly focused agenda framework and high coverage intensity can maximize the external communication effect, and strong cultural construction ability can still influence the communication effect to a certain extent. The combination of a strong focus agenda framework and high reporting intensity can maximize the effectiveness of foreign communication, and strong cultural construction ability can still influence the communication effect to some extent. The construction logic and realization path of China’s future city image communication can be developed from four aspects: firstly, the transfer of geopolitical power will undergo from urban hierarchical power to metropolitan regional power; secondly, the inter-embedding of discrete cultures from self-construction to synergy; thirdly, the revision of communication strategies from imbalance and unfocused to balance and focus; lastly, the devotion to self-shaping will shift from media to regional and national narratives.
