Proto-porcelain is a transition product between pottery and porcelain. It was born around 1700 BCE and left the stage of history around 400 AD. The southern part of China is one of the main places where proto-porcelain originated. As a functional object, it almost has the same dominance as pottery and bronze wares, being used for daily life or religion. However, it has distinct functions compared to other objects in the same era as well. For instance, as a kind of proto-porcelain, it has many differences with the real china which has higher sintering temperature and more complete glaze. This paper aims to find and clear up the characteristics, development, and era significance of proto-porcelain through literature research. According to analysis, it is found that proto-porcelain reflects the breakthrough of the technique of making porcelain, as well as the change of people’s aesthetic trends over the time.

In recent years, several advances in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) rights have taken place in many Western societies around the world. By contrast, in numerous places in China, misunderstanding, discrimination, ignorance, and isolation toward LGBTQ students persists. The unfair treatment that LGBTQs have received, the social pressure they withstand, and their mental health condition were already serious problems and this is set to continue. This paper believes that education plays a vital role in combatting these issues and protecting the equal rights of the LGBTQ community. Changes made by schools can be significant when dealing with LGBTQ issues and even lead to the transformation of social and cultural norms. This thesis, based on ‘Queer theory’, aims to discover the current situation on campus for LGBTQ students and to open a discussion on how to provide LGBTQ students with better support from educational and school management in China.

Polandball, or Countryballs, are online user-generated comics about geopolitical satire, with countries personified in spherical characters. One of the most important aspects of Countryball memes is the non-standard English, or “Engrish”, used in the conversations between characters. This research delves into the “Engrish” phenomena by collecting and qualitatively examining 200+ comics in the subreddit r/polandball, proposing plausible causes of the phenomena, and raising concerns regarding the implications of the exhibited linguistic stereotypes. The investigation figures out that the language choice in Polandball comics on Reddit generally ranged between serious cultural misunderstanding and code-switching of English with another language. It is concluded that the linguistic stylizations of non-standard English in Polandball comics might be rooted in certain cultural and racial stereotypes and might further reinforce these biased cross-cultural perceptions. The research shed light on the long-ignored African-American Vernacular English appropriation in Polandball comics, and extensively enumerated and identified the most recent “Engrish” stylizations in Polandball comics.

The analysis of the impact of educational games on students' interests in disciplines requires consideration of the importance of the discipline's interests and the potential role of educative games in this regard. Subject interests have an important impact on student learning and development. The degree of interest of a student in a particular subject can influence his/her learning motivation, attitude and achievement. Therefore, the cultivation of students' interest in the subject has been a constant concern of educators. Educational games, as an emerging teaching tool, have great potential to develop students' interest in the discipline. Through the game-oriented learning method, educational games can stimulate the student's learning interest, enhance the learning motivation, and improve the learning effect. However, the practical effects of educational games on the cultivation of interest in the discipline require further research and analysis.

The flute is the oldest known musical instrument in China, with the six-hole bamboo flute representing a traditional fixed form. In the context of today’s diverse musical culture, the traditional six-hole bamboo flute faces significant limitations when handling various stylistic compositions. In contrast, the eight-hole flute incorporates strengths from Western musical culture, enabling it to both maintain traditional characteristics and perform modern musical works. This paper, based on experimental and literature research methods, aims to elucidate the impact of the evolution from the six-hole to the eight-hole bamboo flute on the development of Chinese bamboo flute and flute music. The paper is divided into three parts. Firstly, it provides an overview of the basic structures of the six-hole and eight-hole bamboo flutes. Secondly, through flute music analysis, it explores the advantages of the eight-hole bamboo flute and the developmental relationship between bamboo flutes and flute music. The third part involves a new perspective on the development of bamboo flutes and flute music, contemplating how to coexist more effectively with the diverse music of the world.

The "double reduction" policy aims to further alleviate the excessive workload of homework and extra-curricular training in primary and secondary schools. The reform of the new college entrance examination aims to reshape the traditional education and teaching methods and enhance the rationality and scientificity of teaching and learning assessment. The implementation of these policies and the reform of the education system have provided new opportunities for the professional development of teachers. This study analyzes the importance and path of teacher development under policy guidance. This paper argues that in the context of relevant policies, promoting teachers' professional development can help expand teachers' professional knowledge and skills, and strengthen their professional beliefs. At the same time, they have created new challenges and problems for teachers' professional development, including teachers' lack of professional ambition, the need to strengthen school and related sector policies, and the lack of research on teachers' professional growth. Therefore, teachers must cultivate internal motivation and autonomy to enhance their capabilities, while relevant authorities should intensify theoretical research on teachers' professional development and foster guidance for the teaching profession's developmental pathway.

After a long political struggle during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian finally changed the name of the empire from Tang to Zhou in 690, thereby establishing her authority and rule. Despite this, opposition forces persisted against her within the court and the country. In response, Wu Zetian initiated a series of political and cultural reforms to further solidify her personal authority. One of these reforms was the WuZhou New Characters, introduced during her reign. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the main reasons for the emergence and demise of the new characters during the WuZhou period (690-705). Through the analysis of physical objects and historical documents and by referencing the results of previous studies, this research reveals the close connection between the WuZhou New Characters and the political situation of the time. To a certain extent, it also highlights the social and cultural changes that occurred. While Wu Zetian was alive, the new characters began to play a role alongside her authority. However, with Wu Zetian's death and the decline of the political power she represented, the new characters eventually faded away. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the political system and cultural evolution of the Tang Dynasty, providing new perspectives and references for research in the field of Chinese historiography.

School bullying is a social malpractice that has a great impact on the physical and mental health of young people in the current society, and its consequences can even affect the daily life of individuals in the society for a very long time as well as the problem of building the society. Against this background, this study aims to investigate how to reduce the incidence of bullying in schools and how to improve the mental health of young people as a result of bullying in schools. Most of the previous research on bullying in schools has been cross-sectional data on the harm caused by bullying in schools over a period of several years, but it has not been possible to distinguish the difference between psychological harm such as cold violence and isolation and direct physical harm such as beatings. Therefore, a comparative approach was used to visualize the difference between the two types of injuries by comparing different articles and studies. This study better reflects the different harms of bullying in different situations and the different aspects of its impact on adolescents, and allows for better treatment of the different harms suffered by adolescents, thus reducing the harms caused by bullying in schools more quickly and effectively.

Wittgenstein puts forward two different theories of language in his philosophical career. This paper discusses the transformation from early Wittgenstein's theory to later Wittgenstein’s theory, and analyzes and evaluates the latter. Early Wittgenstein still adopted the western traditional philosophy’s mode of thinking , based his theory on ontology and language’s image theory, and constructed an ideal artificial language to describe facts in the form of proposition. However, such theories and mode of thinking faced many difficulties and challenges, and the necessity and rationality of constructing an ideal language are questioned. Later Wittgenstein realized the countless ways in which language is used in daily life, and believed that each use of language in life should be regarded as a "language game". Given that, the proposition discussed in the earlier theory is just one of the countless "language games". Therefore, Wittgenstein’s early theory seems to oversimplify the use of language. Later Wittgenstein believed that in order to explore the meaning of language, we should not search for the essence from a metaphysical perspective, but should search for the form of human life and the daily use of language. This is the core of notion “meaning is usage” . The endless debate of philosophers for thousands of years, therefore, results from the fact that philosophers have been trapped in the dilemma of language and have vainly tried to overcome the upper limit of their mind. Later Wittgenstein thus classify the use of language into misuse and normal use, and reminded human to always reflect on their use of language. Although his theory seems to disobey the traditional mode of thinking of Western philosophy, it should be regarded as a great and valuable idea.

Presently, gaming has evolved into an essential component for a multitude of individuals. Additionally, there is a wide array of game genres available in the market. However, the majority of games are not especially tailored to the interests of a particular demographic, but rather aim to accommodate the widest possible range of individuals.

Today's college students as a special consumer group in society, and their life consumption has a certain scientific rationality, but part of consumer behavior and consumer psychology also shows an irrational tendency. Contemporary college students' consumption has its reasonableness and particularity, and at the same time, there are obvious misunderstandings in consumption behavior and consumption psychology, which need influence and help from school, family, and society. This paper uses the research method of literature review to conclude by analyzing the theory of consumerism, the characteristics of contemporary college students' consumption, and the problems caused by college students' overconsumption. First, consumerism also sows the seeds of money anxiety among young people. Young people are often at the beginning of their careers and face the challenge of financial autonomy. However, an excessive consumer culture may tempt them into high consumption and debt, increasing uncertainty in money management, which in turn causes anxiety and burden. However, research also shows that consumerism is not entirely negative for young people. In a way, this culture also stimulates creativity and innovation. Young people may contribute to the development and progress of society through the pursuit of novel experiences and products. In summary, the impact of contemporary consumerism on young people is a complex and multifaceted topic. The paper will dig deeper into the various dimensions of this phenomenon and explore the challenges and opportunities involved, to provide useful perspectives for better understanding and responding to this social phenomenon.

With the increasing demand for urban public space construction, the use of public art has become increasingly important. At the same time, museums are gradually emerging as an indispensable "third space" in the city. Therefore, it is necessary for us to think deeply about how to achieve a complementary and mutually beneficial relationship between museums and public art. This paper takes the spirit of place as theoretical guidance, combines examples of domestic and foreign museums, and specifically analyzes the design path for museums to build public art to shape the spirit of place. This paper studies how museum public art can narrate strategies from external spaces, use media to restore internal scenes, fit in with the natural environment, and explore the "third space" of urban spirit is constructed from four aspects of regional context. This paper proposed that with the intervention of public art, museums should comprehensively consider multiple factors such as design, overall environment and correlation, pay attention to the overall correlation between design and system environment, and focus on the audience's sense of identity and belonging to build the spirit of place.

The fundamental questions of "What is human place in Being" and "What is man" are being marginalised by human proprietary from Modernity, such as capital, political institutions, natural sciences and modern technology. Traditional metaphysics is deaf to Modernity, and general anthropology also does not touch human Essence and the Being of human beings. The result is that the human existence is at stake. German philosophers, Max Scheler, Helmuth Plessner and Arnold Gehlen, predicted these realities and endeavoured to establish all-encompassing and epochal philosophical anthropology, dedicating to exploring the issues of the times. This paper follows the philosophical anthropology paradigm where in reference to other creatures and in the midst of the liberation of self-consciousness, humans gradually reveal a unique place and project themselves into the human social realm, starting with the two core categories, Person and Man. Finally, it concludes that philosophical anthropology clings to Zeitgeist (spirit of the times) and creates a worldview and a basic rationale for the contemporary to develop the methodology in response to the issues of Modernity.

Whether people’s personality traits are correlated with social media use and addiction has been a widely favored research topic among psychologists in recent years. However, there has not been an adequate number of studies focusing on the relationship between social media post content lookup preference and users’ personality traits, specifically among young adults. To this end, participants (N=50) who are of college age were recruited and volunteered to take a survey that investigates their social media use frequency. The results did not show a strong correlation between social media use and school/work-family balance. No statistical significance was found between social media post content lookup preference and specific personality traits, such as neuroticism and extraversion. Those who spend more time on social media were found to be the ones with extravert personality traits. These findings emphasize the need for further research on such topics which will help with the understanding and treatment improvement of social media addiction from the personality perspective.
