Further Analysis of Evading Investigation Behavior

Article 88 of the Criminal Law of China establishes two major termination grounds for the statute of limitations for prosecution. Among them, the debate on "evading investigation or trial" is particularly lengthy and has not been effectively resolved, which affects the correct and unified implementation of the law and is not conducive to the development of the modernization of the Chinese style rule of law. The vitality and value of law lie in its implementation and application. For the judicial determination of "evading investigation", a judgment and interpretation of the value orientation of equity should be made based on textual and systematic explanations. The "expansion theory" and "extreme expansion theory" have elevated the legislative intent of the statute of limitations for prosecution, which is suspected of violating the criminal law and the principle of restraint in criminal law. The theory of limitation also faces the problem of self consistency in system interpretation. The determination of "evading investigation" should correctly handle the "investigation defense relationship", clarify the legal constituent elements of "evading investigation", distinguish the determination of joint crimes, and adhere to the interpretation position of following the criminal judicial value order, the judicial concept of putting the people at the center, and the objective and fair obligation of prosecutors.

Video Game Music and Cultural Dissemination

As the internationally one of the most-played multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, Honour of Kings (HoK) has created a unique cultural phenomenon apart from its gaming appeal. HoK weaves its aesthetically-pleasing game character, plot, scene, background, and music with Chinese traditional culture (CTC) elements. This contributes to popularise CTC across the world and Chinese music works, accordingly. Therefore, this article starts with the CTC elements and music works in HoK and explores the effect of Video Game Music (VGM) on cultural dissemination. Further, it explores the new ways and trends of traditional culture transmission. Lastly, this article comprehensively discusses the current problems and solutions of cultural and musical promulgation in games. It can be explained that the effort in terms of VGM composition would contribute to the HoK game develop better. These findings can also provide research ideas for developing VGM in Chinese style.

Digital Silk Road; Is it an Anti-Globalization Backlash? Is it Chinese-Style Globalization?

Digital activities of the Belt and Road initiative called the "digital Silk Road" in the post-COVID-19 outbreak era and initially introduced in 2015 as the "information Silk Road," have come under fire. Finding out whether China's technical improvement, which has become evident in many areas thanks to the Digital Belt and Road initiative project, is a backlash against globalization or a new wave of it done in a Chinese form is the main challenge of this study. Data centers—the backbone of the Belt and Road Initiative—undersea fiber optic cables, 5-G cellular data networks, and Turkish investments in these sectors have all been essential in this regard. This method explores China's technological development from the four modernization periods to the present through a chronological descriptive description. This study should be viewed as significantly contributing to the literature because it provides a system-level examination of the digital Belt and Road endeavor.

Penilaian Keaslian Bangunan Candra Naya Jakarta Konservasi Menggunakan Instrumen Nara Grid

Candra Naya is a Chinese style heritage building that has been standing since the 19th century. During its journey, this building has undergone several conversions from being a residence to now becoming a museum. After being conserved adaptively into a museum and new buildings construction arose around it, many adjustments to the Candra Naya building were made. This study was conducted to assess the authenticity of the post-conservation of Candra Naya using the Nara Grid instrument. This research using an exploratory mixed method, a combination of qualitative and quantitative study. The results of both research methods were analyzed into six aspects and four dimensions of the Nara Grid. The evaluation results indicate that the authenticity of the Candra Naya building is in the proper category. The building elements, in visually, spatially, and structurally terms, are still following the original, where some materials are only polished for maintenance. Some of the changes made are non-destructive and only as an adjustment to the new building built around the site.

Buddhist Architecture Exchanges between China and Pakistan

This study explores the friendly exchanges in Buddhist architecture between China and Pakistan from a geographical perspective. It probes mainly into the exchanges occurring from the 1st to the 10th century AD between ancient China and ancient Pakistan (the region where Pakistan is presently located). With the channels for exchanges between China and South Asia opening up and the Silk Road being established, the large-scale eastward spread of Buddhism became possible, creating opportunities for Buddhism communication between people of the two nations. The design and construction of Chinese Buddhist temples, pagodas and grottoes exhibit features typical of Buddhist architecture in ancient Pakistan, particularly the Gandhara Buddhist sculpture art that has profound influence on Buddha statues in China. In over a thousand years Chinese Buddhist architecture absorbed elements from that of ancient Pakistan, yet created its unique Chinese style, showing a perfect integration of the two cultures. The Buddhist architecture exchanges between ancient China and ancient Pakistan have far-reaching significance in promoting cultural communication and strengthening the friendship between people of the two nations.

Resource industry dependence and high-quality economic development of Chinese style: Reexamining the effect of the “Resource Curse”

In resource-dependent regions, the meaning of high-quality economic development has yet to be clarified by published research, despite substantial scholarly interest in the topic. With the help of the economic development index developed by the Chinese government, this paper accurately measures high-quality economic development in 30 provinces in China and investigates how resource dependence and government governance capability affect regional high-quality economic development. Research has found that resource industry dependence has a significant inhibitory effect on high-quality economic development. Additionally, the analysis of the mechanisms revealed that resource industry dependence reduces high-quality economic development through a series of effects including crowding out innovation, weakening coordination, lagging green development, hindering global openness, and sharing in weakening. Further research has revealed that government governance capacity weakens the impact of resource industry dependence on high-quality economic development. A detailed analysis of three subsystem indicators of government governance capacity, namely policy planning, capability commitment, and performance assessment, indicates that they all have a weakening effect. To this end, the paper proposes policy recommendations, including increasing innovation inputs, advancing industrial restructuring, promoting green development, enhancing marketization levels, and constructing a diversified employment system. These measures aim to transform resource disadvantages into resource advantages and facilitate high-quality economic development.

Analysis of "Chinese Style" Packaging with the Example of Time Fengjun, Easy Entertainment, and Lehua Entertainment

With the rise of international entertainment culture in recent years, Chinese entertainment companies have also started to develop, but there is still a gap in research on the "Chinese" packaging of entertainment companies, so the author conducts research in this area. In this paper, we use the case study method to study the operation mode and packaging methods of entertainment companies, starting from the "Chinese" packaging, taking Times Square, One Heart Entertainment, and Lehua Entertainment as examples. By analyzing the business models of entertainment companies and combining the marketing models of China's top entertainment companies, people can learn that different companies need to adopt different business models and development directions according to their own positioning. Combined with the actual Chinese reality, the packaging models of different Chinese entertainment companies are finally derived through continuous exploration. Therefore, after analyzing the positive and negative effects of "Chinese style" packaging, people can improve the relative problems in the future. In the future, the packaging and marketing of entertainment companies should be closer to the market and respond to the changes in the market in time.

Exploring The Nationalization Characteristics of Chinese Style Piano Works--An Example of The Six Piano Adaptations of "Flowing Stream"

"Flowing Stream" is a Chinese folk song from Yunnan province with a high degree of popularity and popularity. It has been widely adapted by Chinese and foreign composers into various forms of musical expression, such as piano, accordion, orchestral music and opera, etc. Therefore, it can be seen that the work has been widely recognized and sung by composers and audiences. Therefore, it can be seen that the work is widely recognized and loved among composers and audiences. In this paper, we will choose different versions of "Flowing Stream" from six composers, namely, Zhao Xingdao, Zhu Jian'er, Ding Shande, Zhu Peibin, Wang Zhenyu, and Zhang Zhao, as the objects of study to analyze their compositional techniques in terms of musical structural features, nationalization features, and so on, so as to provide composers with some new ideas for exploration.

Adaptation of National Traditional Music in Piano Art of China of the Twentieth Century

The purpose of the study is to describe the ways of influence of the national musical tradition on the piano culture of China. The emphasis is placed on highlighting the most specific components of music - melody, harmony, rhythm, programmatic, and others - as immanent features of the national mentality from the standpoint of the genesis of the twentieth century piano art. The purpose of the study is to highlight the adaptations of traditional Chinese musical culture in piano music to reveal its aesthetic significance and features in the context of the development of the twentieth century piano art. The scientific novelty is that for the first time the ways of influence of the national style on the formation of piano culture are considered from the standpoint of adaptations of specific features within one culture but in the transition from the national-traditional to the author's, composer's space. The research methodology employed cultural-historical and stylistic analysis, as well as hermeneutics and musicological analysis. Through these methods, the study identified that the key factors of the “Chinese style” encompass consistent approaches to composer work, prominently evident in melodic content, rhythmic organisation, harmony, and direct incorporation of timbres from traditional folk instruments. Conclusions. The forms of adaptation of national culture in the piano art of China during the 20th century are evident in various elements of the musical language. These include the distinctive melodic characteristics, particularly the reliance on the pentatonic scale, preservation of rhythmic freedom, and the form structure that incorporates the logical deployment and development of artistic imagery through the programming of the musical work. Additionally, the adaptation is seen in the specific use of timbres resembling authentic musical instruments and their characteristic melodic structures, enriched through the capabilities of the piano. Key words: cultural influences, Chinese style, piano music, adaptations, traditional music.

A Brief Analysis of Chinese Interior Design Style

Chinese decoration style originated from the end of the 20th century, with the continuous recovery of China's economy, a design concept began to emerge in the construction industry, the rise of sinology also makes Chinese people begin to examine things from a cultural perspective. The vigorous rise of Chinese style is attributed to it in line with the various psychological, aesthetic and times needs of Chinese people in the new era. In the modern society where European and American cultures are ubiquitous and where materialistic desires are rampant and various contradictions emerge one after another, the traditional Chinese culture has been paid attention to again due to its harmony and calm, and combined with the aesthetic needs of contemporary people, the Chinese style has gained a new life. This article intends to elaborate the origin and background of Chinese decoration style, and summarize its design principles and methods, so that Chinese style can be more flexibly applied to modern home life, be found and loved by more people, and provide a concise basis for the practice of Chinese style decoration.

Specifics of Tonal Organisation of Chinese Music on the Example of Xu Changjun's Work

The purpose of the article is to highlight the specific features of the harmonic organisation of Chinese music. The task is to focus on the music of the twentieth century, the music that has been called the "New Wave" in Chinese musical culture. The latter is justified by the fact that this period is characterised by increased activity in the piano sphere and is aimed at the contamination of Western European and national Chinese styles. The research methodology is based on the use of an integrated approach, namely a system of historical comparative and typological, ethno-organological, and interdisciplinary research methods. The research material is the works of Xu Changjun. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time an attempt was made to trace the influence of the specifics of national instruments on the texture, harmonic organisation, and harmonic language. The angemitonic structures of Chinese modes are considered in the context of serial technique. A number of works by Xu Changjun, as a representative of the “New Wave”, are analysed in the context of the specifics of the harmonic organisation. Conclusions. The conclusions of the study emphasise that Xu Changjun, as a full-fledged representative of the "New Wave", uses in his music the characteristic for this trend orientation towards the ideals of the past, towards the culture of Ancient China. The harmonic side of his music is based on the Chinese system of modal modes (anhemitonic, hexatonic, heptatonic), as well as on more ancient four-step and three-step anhemitonic structures (Chu-mode, pipa-chord) and new modality (composed by the composer). He uses both harmonic modulations and dissonant polyladic structures. His works demonstrate various types of harmonic organisation: from the modes of the yun-gong-diao system to the phenomena of new modality. Key words: Chinese hierarchical organisation, angemitonics, Xu Changjun, seriality.

Classicist Drama in Digital Times

This article begins with an overview of the rise of internet drama, or web drama, in China in the past fifteen years. The new platform boasts several advantages, which accounts for its rapid development. Web drama has become so popular that it is replacing television drama series as the mainstream. The article then examines a major genre of web drama: stories set in traditional China. While costume drama or period drama, whether based on history or fiction, has always been popular, classicist web drama series in recent years stand out for their authenticity and creativity. Based on two case studies, the article explores two distinct themes. The first is Royal Nirvana (2019), a pseudo-historical drama that integrates Song-dynasty culture into the plot. In doing so, it beautifully demonstrates the appeal of “Chinese style” or “Asian aesthetics” in popular imagination. The second case study is The Untamed (2019), a fantasy martial arts tale that features two male protagonists who start out as diametrically opposed but end up as soul mates and loyal allies. The drama series skillfully transforms danmei or BL (boys’ love) in the original story into a subtly titillating relationship between two men. The article concludes with a discussion of the new business model that web drama has successfully introduced into the entertainment industry in contemporary China.

Research on the construction path of the megacity from the perspective of Nudge Theory: Empirical evidence of the “Park City” construction in Chengdu Tianfu New Area

The transformation of Chengdu Tianfu New Area, a state-level new district, from the first site of constructing the “Park City” to the representative of the “Park City”, contains a unique path of “Chinese Style Governance”. To expand the diverse paths of constructing megacities, the current research references the nudge theory of behavioral science, adopts the extended case method, and takes Chengdu Tianfu New Area as a typical case to summarize the “nudge” path of “Party City” construction. The study found that the government achieves the lock-in effect by the priming mechanism and uses the nudge strategy of improving environment and guiding public opinion, thereby helping the people make free choices. It realizes the framework effect by the salience mechanism and uses the strategies of highlighting key information and optimizing information delivery methods, which directly affects the behavior of the public. It achieves the commitment effect by the comparison mechanism, including the horizontal comparison and vertical comparison strategies, and gradually realizes the policy goals. It realizes the social norm effect by the imitation mechanism and uses the strategies of creating peer pressure and playing celebrity effect, which in turn influence people’s choices. With the help of the “nudging” mechanism, the construction of the park city has realized the interactive cycle of “government output-citizen feedback” and achieved the goal of “making great change through small actions”. As a new behavioral intervention tool, “nudging” provides an alternative explanation for the construction of the park city in Tianfu New Area and opens up new ideas for the construction of megacities. This study concludes that the construction of megacities can achieve the goal of “common return” through different ways and provides practical inspiration for future urban construction.

Digital finance, entrepreneurship and the household income gap: Evidence from China

Using three waves of data from the China Family Panel Studies and the Digital Financial Inclusion Index of China, we analyze the relationship between digital finance, entrepreneurship and household income disparity. Following a theoretical analysis, we demonstrate the inverted U–shaped relationship between digital finance and household income gap. The empirical analysis finds that digital finance has a Kuznets curve effect for the Theil index and the Gini coefficient. Our findings remain robust to testing for the endogeneity problem. We also discuss three mechanisms of household entrepreneurship, liquidity constraints, and investment efficiency. For heterogeneity discussion, comparisons include urban and rural areas, different regions, and various income sources, and existing differences are demonstrated accordingly. For example, inflection points vary, which may be attributed to inherent unbalanced development in China and the Chinese–style income segmentation of “within the system” or “outside the system”. Our findings further provide empirical evidence that digital finance helps reduce household income equality in the long run, and enriches related research.

A Flow of Christian Images from the Shanghai Jesuits to the Paris Foreign Missions in Japan: Imitation, Alteration, and Returning to the Roots

Abstract The Jesuit Adolphe Vasseur created more than 160 woodblock prints at the orphanage of T’ou-se-we in Shanghai, China, combining Western images of biblical stories with traditional Chinese styles and symbols, aiming to help familiarize the Chinese people with Christian concepts. Vasseur’s images were adopted and transformed through lithographic publications and woodblock prints by the Paris Foreign Missions (mep) in Japan from the 1860s to the 1870s under Fr. Marc Marie de Rotz (1840–1914). Focusing on ten woodblock prints, often referred to as the “De Rotz Prints,” which were made based on Vasseur’s images and altered by adding Japanese symbols, this paper will show how Vasseur’s images were modified from a Chinese to Japanese context, primarily by adapting to the situation of Japanese Christians, who were emerging from more than two centuries of persecution and underground worship. This article is part of the special issue of the Journal of Jesuit Studies, “Jesuits in Modern Far East,” guest edited by Steven Pieragastini.

CHINESE TRADITIONAL PATTERNS AND TOTEM CULTURE IN MODERN CLOTHING DESIGN

The purpose: explain the concept of totem in traditional Chinese patterns, and introduce representative totem elements and their implication. Analyze the traditional Chinese patterns that appear in modern clothing design.
 Methodology. A systematic approach was used in this research to project contemporary modern clothing design: history-analytical, literary-analytical, morphological, and comparative analysis of the creative primary source, associative means of its adaptation to the actual fashion trends. The methodology of the research is based on the systematic analysis of the design projects using elements of traditional patterns in China.
 Results. Studies have shown that not all widely used traditional Chinese patterns are totems, and totems are patterns with more symbolic meaning. Several representative traditional Chinese patterns are displayed. The cultural connotation of Chinese style patterns widely used in modern clothing design is revealed, and the innovative methods of patterns are also considered.
 The scientific novelty of this research lies in its compilation of prior studies, which help differentiate between traditional Chinese patterns and totems. Additionally, the study introduces the concepts of totem worship, reproductive worship, and soul worship that are embedded within these patterns. Practical recommendations for integrating traditional Chinese patterns into modern clothing design are also provided.
 Practical significance. of this study lies in its potential application to the practice of incorporating Chinese traditional patterns into contemporary clothing design. By understanding the cultural heritage and totemic elements within these patterns, designers can create innovative and culturally rich fashion pieces that pay homage to China's rich artistic history.

Transformative Diaconia in China: The Amity Foundation as a Case Study

The last decade has seen keen interest among governments, businesses, academe, and the nonprofit sector in the role religions can play in the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030. In China, until the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, there were conferences and debates about this that increasingly involved the religious sector. This study looks at Christian social practice among faith-based organizations in China, especially its transformative potential, in contributing to sustainable development. It will highlight some of the best practices of the Amity Foundation, a Chinese FBO headquartered in Nanjing, to illustrate how, through a combination of service delivery and advocacy (Chinese style), FBOs in China can help shift official and religious perspectives and attitudes toward a more participatory and sustainable approach to development. Although the term “transformative diaconia” has not been explicitly used by Amity to describe its work, the values embedded in its practice and the impact it has made on stakeholders and policies can be considered transformative. The UN SDGs 2030, which have been strongly supported by Amity’s ecumenical partners and the Chinese government, provide an important frame of reference for Amity’s advocacy work as well as help to identify some of the content for diaconal capacity building for churches in China. Some of the opportunities and challenges confronting FBOs as they transition from service delivery to advocacy will be explored.

Rethinking of Joseon’s transition to modern times in the late Joseon Dynasty: focusing on Chinese-style architecture manifested in the Joseon Dynasty in the 19th century

ABSTRACT This study aims to find Chinese-style buildings and architectural factors manifested in those buildings by paying attention to Chinese-style buildings centered on buildings used in the palaces and royal family houses in Joseon Korea during the 19th century. Although the influences of Qing on the late Joseon Dynasty have been researched in history studies, anthropology, and literature, research in architecture is greatly lacking. However, in the late Joseon Dynasty, changes in the recognition of the culture of Qing China resulted in demonstrable influences of the architecture of the Qing on the features of some buildings, such as the use of Chinese-style bricks, Gyeongsan Jibung, Gwonbung Jibung, Jeonchug Bagpung, Wonchang, Siheyuan, and Yeongjocheok. Those Chinese-style elements, however, appeared only in particular Joseon buildings, such as the palaces and houses of aristocratic class who maintained contacts with the Qing. This research was performed through field research of Korean and Chinese buildings related to the diverse literature review and primary historical materials. The absorption of foreign styles, especially the Chinese style, in architecture in the late Joseon Dynasty is presumed to have alleviated the cultural shock that occurred in the process of accommodating western architecture after the country was opened.
