Abstract(522) PDF(20)
Abstract:
Vertical and horizontal comparison is the main teaching method of the ideological and political theory courses. Using this teaching method is conducive to enhancing students' interest in learning and promoting students' understanding and mastery of theoretical knowledge. We should pay attention to the comprehensive and multi-level application of horizontal comparison and vertical comparison, grasp the “three dimensions” of vertical and horizontal comparison, and have height, depth and temperature in comparison. Moreover, we should not deviate from Marxism and socialism, from the nature of ideological and political course, and from the law of teaching, so as to enhance the pertinence, affinity and appeal of teaching, improve the teaching quality of ideological and political course, educate and guide students to establish a correct outlook on world, life and values.

Abstract:
Cultivating the working spirit of college students is an important task for implementing the party's educational policy and cultivating college students with ideas, skills, and responsibilities in the new era. It can provide talent support for building a modern and powerful socialist country. However, in practice, college students' working spirit is cultivated, but there was a deviation. This research uses empirical research methods to analyze the problems existing in the cultivation of labor spirit in colleges and universities. The results show that the current cultivation of labor spirit has weakened and neglected the cultivation of labor spirit in education, and the cultivation of labor spirit in educational practice has been utilitarian and formalized. The problem of inadequate creation of an atmosphere for the cultivation of labor spirit in the educational environment, and the relatively indifferent labor concept of college students in the educational environment. For this reason, to realize the value return of the cultivation of the working spirit of college students in the new era, it is urgent to change the educational concept and establish a correct concept of cultivation of the working spirit;enhance the self-consciousness of the cultivation of the college students' selfwork spirit; entrap a good environment for the cultivation of the working spirit of college students; cultivate practice and realize the unity of knowledge and practice.

Abstract(369) PDF(6)
Abstract:
Constructing “double first-class” universities has become an important strategic decision of China, which is conducive to improving the comprehensive strength and global competitiveness of China's higher education. Strategic management and planning is an important way to establish a “double first-class” university. From the perspective of strategic management, the development of colleges and universities is deeply influenced by the “5P” theory of plan, ploy, pattern, position and concept.This paper takes Tsinghua University, University of Hong Kong and University of Macau, three universities that have long resided in the peak of regional development, as examples, and USES the “5P” model to make a comparative analysis of their development strategies in the strategic management theory, to find out the important indicators and factors that promote the universities to continue to move forward to the “double first-class” universities.

Based on the multidisciplinary perspectives of Epistemology, Cognitive Psychology, Social Psychology, Cultural Anthropology and Linguistics, this paper addresses van Dijk's integrated study of discourse with knowledge, with the focus on his construction of “discourse-cognition-society” triangular theoretical framework and the proposal of a new field “Discourse Epistemics”. A brief critique is then given, followed by suggestions on future studies.
On the Hierarchical Structure of Context in Interactive Machine Translation Environment Tools
WANG Peng
2021, 37(2): 138-146.
Abstract(328) PDF(7)
Abstract:
Since its inception, one of the biggest challenges for machine translation is meaning in context. Nowadays, the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and human-computer interaction (HCI) are influencing each other like never before. Recent breakthroughs in the translation are made possible by a healthy AI-HCI collaboration. This article proposed a hierarchical structure of context for interactive machine translation environment tools, including local context, global context and contextual effects, based on translators' cognitive efforts when interacting with machines. This framework helps software developers, project managers and linguists who work with the interactive machine translation system better incorporate the contextual factors when collecting, managing and analyzing data from human feedback, which leads to relevant strategic plans for automatic segmentation as well as effective estimation for the degree of human involvement.

Study on the Discretionary Non-prosecution and the Perfection of Its Supervision and Restriction
HOU Deng-hua, ZHAO Ying-xue
2021, 37(2): 160-166.
Abstract(315) PDF(6)
Abstract:
The discretionary non-prosecution has contributed to the promotion of the modernization of governance capabilities for procurators to handle the minor criminal cases of pleading guilty and accepting punishment, which is beneficial for the appropriate allocation of judicial resources. And it can defuse social conflicts and repair social relations. Nevertheless, prosecutors have been empowered with more discretion by the discretionary non-prosecution, which has bad effects on its Supervision and Restriction in all rounds. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the consciousness of supervision in advance, supervision in the middle and the motivation afterward. The risk control measures of discretionary non-prosecution must be implemented by strengthening anti-corruption education and ascertaining the risk points. Supervision and Restriction of the discretionary nonprosecution must be enhanced by setting clear standards and following the procedures strictly, such as the procedures for handling cases, and so on. It's worth noting that the evaluation of cases, supervision with checks and the ability examination can be used to improve the discretion of discretionary non-prosecution. Thus, the ultimate aim is to perfect the supervision and restriction of discretionary non-prosecution constantly.
On the Normative Interpretation and Application of Sentencing Suggestions:Taking 91 Normative Documents as Analysis Samples
WANG Rui-jun, ZHAI Yu-hang
2021, 37(2): 167-176.
Abstract(379) PDF(4)
Abstract:
The sentencing suggestion is an expression form of the procuratorial organ's right to ask for punishment. The sentencing suggestions can be divided into the sentencing suggestions in the case of pleading guilty and the sentencing suggestions in the case of not pleading guilty. “Lenient system of confession and punishment” and “judicial reform of standardized sentencing” are the key factors to realize the “qualitative leap” in the value and orientation of sentencing suggestions. Since the criminal procedure law has established the leniency system of pleading guilty and punishment, in the cases of applying the leniency procedure of pleading guilty and punishment, the sentencing suggestions show the characteristics of the compulsory proposal, accurate content and the principle that the court should adopt. It is a test of the procuratorial professional ability and the theoretical foundation of penalty discretion for prosecutors to put forward sentencing suggestions and achieve accuracy. The standard application of sentencing recommendations, first of all, from the perspective of macro value, the procuratorial organs need to carry out the concept of lenient judicial reform of confession and punishment from the perspective of the basic principles of penalty discretion, clarify the different value positions of sentencing suggestions in cases of confession and non-confession of punishment;Secondly, at the top-level design level, we need to further supplement and improve the current system of normative legal documents involving sentencing suggestions. Finally, on the level of judicial practice, we need the procuratorial organs to fully communicate and negotiate with other subjects of criminal proceedings, play the auxiliary role of the artificial intelligence judicial system, and improve the supporting mechanism of lenient sentencing suggestions.
From the Perspective of “Several Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Evidence in Civil Litigation” Re-discussion on the Effect of Preclusion of the Self-admission System
RAN Bo
2021, 37(2): 177-185.
Abstract(353) PDF(6)
Abstract:
The “Several Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Evidence in Civil Litigation” as a whole affirmed and expanded the self-admission rules, but the “Several Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Evidence in Civil Litigation” Article 8 paragraph 2 continued the legal spirit of Article 92, Paragraph 3 of the “Comprehension and Application of Judicial Interpretation of the Procedural Law” stipulates that the effect of preclusion of the self-admission system is restricted. Why the “Several Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Evidence in Civil Litigations” restrict the effect of preclusion of self-admission system? The fundamental reason is the traditional inertia of the absoluteness of facts exploration and the pursuit of substantive justice values. The direct cause is the actual demand for regulating collusive litigation. However, to construct a normative self-admission system should adhere to the relativization of facts exploration, coordinate the relationship between party autonomy and facts exploration, and pursue a balance between procedural justice and substantive justice. The practice of restricting the effect of preclusion to regulate collusive litigation does not pay for the gains. The most preferable way to regulate collusive litigation should be to abolish pre-determinant force and set an honesty obligation for the parties. Tracing back to the source, the self-admission system originated from the doctrine of debate and naturally should return to the doctrine of debate. The self-admission system that returns to the doctrine of debate centers on the effect of preclusion. Article 8 paragraph 2 of the “Several Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Evidence in Civil Litigation” loses legitimacy. The application of the effect of preclusion of self-admission system must consider the difference and relativity of the litigation environment of different cases.

Virtue Epistemology's Response to Three Main Problems of Generic Reliabilism
LIN Yu-ling, CAO Jian-bo
2021, 37(2): 186-192.
Abstract(347) PDF(13)
Abstract:
According to process reliabilism, the justificatory status of a belief depends on the reliability of the belief-formation process, while it can't guarantee the reliability of the process to be bound to believer's justification, which will lead to the new evil-demon problem and the meta-incoherence problem. Besides, process reliabilism also faces the generality problem, that is how to define the universality of this process so that it can be applied to specific occasions. Taking intellectual virtue as the core concept, through the distinction between justification and aptness, animal knowledge and reflective knowledge, Sosa proposed a new response to these problems. However, Sosa is failed to bridge the gap between reliability and justification, his demands are too strict for believers, and the definition of the value of animal knowledge and reflective knowledge is unclear. Therefore, although virtue epistemology broadens our thinking to solve the three problems, it also leaves some problems to be discussed.
Plain Discussion of the Three Discrimination of Mencius
LI Xi-cheng
2021, 37(2): 193-201.
Abstract(442) PDF(5)
Abstract:
As the utilitarianism is rampant in the Warring States Period, Mencius wants to fight against the world and saves the world, fighting with three discrimination as powerful weapons, the Human-Animal Distinction, the Justice-Interest Distinction, and the Kingly Way-Hegemonic Way Distinction, for Creating peace for the world in the period. From this perspective to study the philosophy of Mencius, We can clarify a lot misunderstandings by the scholars of all ages in Chinese history, and avoid overly accusing the ancients. In particular, it can be clearly judged which is the original meaning of Mencius, and which is not, and the meaning that can be inferred from the original meaning of Mencius, so as to restore the true features of Mencius' thought.

Bureaucrat and Local Elite: The Double Prospect of the Houcun Ci
DENG Jing
2021, 37(2): 202-210.
Abstract(327) PDF(3)
Abstract:
In the process of the transformation from classical literature to secular literature in the middle and later period of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Kezhuang has attracted much attention because of multiple identities. In the past, he was regarded as a member of Xin School, but his Ci mostly expressed the “hero's lost ambition”, and had the characteristics of running local interpersonal networks and game articles. However, the literary tradition still restricts the literati's creative inertia. The frequent use of allusions, Neo Confucianism discourses and their inner emotional barrenness form a higher level of contradiction, which has inherent time commonality with Mengchuang Ci. The conflicts of multiple perspectives in Ci showed the struggle of the Literati Spirit, echoing the secularization of literature in the late Southern Song Dynasty.
Nights at the Circus: A Space Experience of Modernity
ZHANG Xiao-min, PAN Yan
2021, 37(2): 211-216.
Abstract(314) PDF(4)
Abstract:
Angela Carter set the story deliberately in a closed space in Nights at the Circus to offer a reflection of the cramped space of modern people. Through the unique images, incidents and their spatial relationship, Carter put human's mercilessness and earnestness together, mixed fantasies, absurdities and realities into one, and thus invented a world of being real and unreal, ridiculous and pathetic as well. Such a world was full of irony and mockery. Accordingly, she exposed the ugliness, the ruthlessness, the helplessness, and the disorientation of human nature, and made a poignant criticism of both spiritualism and materialism of the western world in the course of modernization. This essay aims to explain what Nights at Circus can enlighten us from the following three aspects: the representation of spatial experience, the deconstruction of power space and the juxtaposition of space narrative.
Research on Strategic Environment and Strategic Management of Small and Micro Privately Operated Theater Groups
XU Lei
2021, 37(2): 217-226.
Abstract(215) PDF(2)
Abstract:
Comprehensive strategic environment analysis and efficient strategic management are the foundation of privately operated small and micro theatre groups. However, the majority of the privately operated small and micro theatre groups today have unclear strategic environment analysis, vague strategic positioning, and poor strategic management ability, which limits the formation and improvement of its competitive advantage. In light of this, this paper constructs the competitive strategy model of privately operated theatre groups in combination with its basics. Taking children's theatre groups that account for the largest percentage among privately operated theatre groups as an example and using Shanghai where the market competition for children's play is relatively fierce as a regional representative, this paper conducts a thorough analysis of the strategic environment and management of privately operated small and micro theatre groups. As the study shows, to keep its place in the competitive performance market, privately operated small and micro theatre groups should thoroughly analyze their strategic environment from six dimensions including art supply factors, art demand factors, industry competition factors, relevant supporting factors, government environment, and industry environment to form its core competitiveness by fostering strengths and circumventing weaknesses and achieve the closed-loop of strategic management from strategic analysis, positioning, implementation, evaluation, to control on this basis.
