Exploring the New Interpretation of the Fengshen Story

As a classic Chinese mythology novel, Fengshen yanyi (Investiture of the Gods) is famous for its cultural value, historical value and social value. The story of “Fengshen” is also considered a rich source of inspiration for entertainment and cultural industries in China, influencing a wide range of audiences with diverse backgrounds. As developing the potential “story universe” of Fengshen has become a hot topic in the Chinese film market, reinterpreting Chinese mythology needs to be focused on. Based on the case of the “Fengshen story”, this study aims to explore the new context of Chinese mythology by collecting and analyzing secondary research, categorizing and organizing the findings, and discussing further research from different perspectives, thereby understanding the modern adaptations of traditional Chinese mythology and suggesting a bright future of conducting interdisciplinary research on Chinese mythology in the new context.

A digital Technology–Cultural resource strategy to drive innovation in cultural industries: A dynamic analysis based on machine learning

With the gradual maturing of digital technology, the innovation strategy of ‘technology + culture’ is becoming increasingly significant for the sustainable development of cultural industries. This paper takes cultural industries in China's 31 provinces and municipalities in 2019 as a research sample and seeks to explore the multi-dimensional and periodical evolution relationship between digital technology, cultural resources, and innovation in cultural industries by drawing on machine learning algorithms and ergodic theory. The following conclusions are obtained. Firstly, the relationship between digital technology and cultural resources and their impact on the innovation of cultural industries is found to be nonlinear, which is a dynamic evolution process. Secondly, the impact of cultural resources on cultural industry innovation is not completely positively correlated, and the impact on technological innovation is more like an inverted U-shaped curve with a rising, peak, and declining period; the impact on content innovation, meanwhile, is similar to the ferment and take-off stages in the S-curve of innovation. And digital technology plays a significant role in promoting innovation, and is, especially in technological innovation, more like an ascending step from quantitative changes to qualitative change. Thirdly, digital technology and cultural resources are found to play different roles in the different stages of innovative development. Cultural resources are the basic factor and digital technology is the incentive factor.

Assessing the predictability of the marine heatwave in the Yellow Sea during the summer of 2018 based on a deterministic forecast model

Understanding the predictability of marine heatwaves (MHWs) and identifying the sources of their forecast errors are essential for enhancing their forecast accuracy. In the summer of 2018, a powerful MHW struck the Yellow Sea, resulting in significant economic losses for the sea cucumber culture industry in China's coastal areas. However, the ability to predict the evolution of this MHW remains uncertain. In this study, several forecast experiments were conducted based on a deterministic ocean forecast model to address this issue. The results demonstrate that this MHW can be effectively predicted with a lead time of less than 3 days. Specifically, the mean MHW forecast accuracy is 0.66 and the mean absence/presence accuracy is 0.79 at a 3-day lead time. Beyond a 3-day lead time, the MHW forecast accuracy steadily decreases, which is primarily due to the overpredicted “False Alarms” during its growth and decay phases. The overpredicted “False Alarms” are largely attributed to uncertainties in predicting wind and air temperature related to two typhoons passing through the Yellow Sea. Additionally, anomalous ocean circulation induced by atmospheric forcing uncertainties may also trigger MHW forecast errors through advection. Future efforts involving parameter optimization, air-sea coupling, ensemble forecasts and integration with artificial intelligence-based weather forecasts are suggested to improve the prediction of MHWs. Our findings may provide implications for stakeholders in preparation for any future occurrences of MHWs in the Yellow Sea.

Modeling Analysis of User Consumption Data of Internet Culture Industry in the Context of Emerging Technologies

Abstract In the context of the prosperity of the Internet economy and the progress of the cultural industry, the Internet cultural industry is expanding in a big way based on the economic development of the cultural industry, supported by the Internet technology platform and serving the cultural and spiritual experience of consumers. The Internet cultural industry is gradually becoming the backbone of the country’s comprehensive strength for the amount. The Internet to boost the development of China’s cultural industry and cultural export to the outside has become a general trend. In 2018 China’s Internet cultural industry added value accounted for the first time exceeded 3 trillion of GDP, and the added value of the Internet cultural industry in 2021 further increased to 6.63% of GDP. Thus, it can be seen that the share of Wen Internet culture industry in China’s GDP is a steady upward trend and the future development is clear. This paper uses the vector autoregressive model to model and analyze the cultural consumption data of Internet users, and the analysis results show that in 2021, China’s Internet cultural consumption mainly tends to music and video, games, literature, animation, and online cultural content information services in five areas, among which games account for 36.52% of the total Internet cultural consumption. Due to the improvement of China’s comprehensive strength, the difference in CPI of Internet culture consumption between urban and rural groups in China is 11, and the gap is gradually narrowing, and the countryside will be a big new market in the future. The Internet group culture user group as a whole tends to be younger, with the student group accounting for 26% of the user group. Based on the analysis of this study, it is concluded that Internet cultural consumption tends to be young, cultural innovation is the main driving force to promote consumption, and future development is unstoppable.

Virtual Transcendence: IP Image Construction to Build Dongguan into a "Trendy City"

With the advent of the consumer era and the rise of the new media industry, cultural and creative products have gradually become brilliant in the commodity market, and "IP" has gradually become a hot word. People have predicted the economic value of IP copyright early, and its market benefits are gradually reflected, which eventually becomes a practical commercial means. In the IP industry, the derivatives market occupies a very important position, and art toys and derivatives are mutually connected and independent. The development models based on IP are constantly emerging, among which the source development of image IP has relied on the film, comic and animation markets for many years, while "art toys" have gradually penetrated into the cultural industry in China with an independent image IP development model. It not only relies on rich stories, texts and other content, but also relies on an image IP as the source to occupy the consumer market.

The Space–Time Evolution of the Coupling and Coordinated Development of Public Cultural Services and Cultural Industries: A Case Study of 31 Regions in China

The coordinated development of public cultural services (PCS) and cultural industries (CI) is conducive to sustainable regional development. Few studies focus on the coordinated development of PCS and CI. This study builds an evaluation index system for the coordinated development of PCS and CI and uses the entropy weight method, synchronous development model, coupling coordination model, and exploratory spatial data analysis method on 31 regions in China. It evaluates the synchronous development levels, coupling coordination levels, and spatial evolution characteristics of the coordinated development of PCS and CI from 2011 to 2020. The results are as follows: (1) The coordinated development level of PCS and CI has risen steadily. The leading type is dominant in space, with the leading type > synchronous type > lagging type. (2) The overall coupling degree is high. The high-level coupling in space is dominant. (3) The degree of coupling coordination has improved. Regions with good spatial and high-quality coordination are concentrated in the eastern, central, and coastal areas. (4) The coordinated development of PCS and CI shows positive spatial correlation agglomeration. The degree of agglomeration is increasing, mainly high high, forming an important growth region in the Yangtze River Delta economic region and its surroundings. Finally, we propose policy recommendations for the coordinated development of PCS and CI, and provide new ideas for the collaborative development of PCS and CI in China.

Anguillid herpesvirus 1 (AngHV) ORF95 encodes a late, structural envelope protein.

Anguillid herpesvirus 1 (AngHV) is one of the vital pathogenic agents found in the wild and cultured eel populations, which has brought significant losses to eel culture industry in China. In this study, AngHV ORF95 was characterized. Bioinformatics analysis showed that ORF95 putatively encodes a structural protein that is homologous to hemagglutinin-esterase (HE) protein of infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV). Temporal transcription and expression analysis indicated that ORF95 is a viral late gene. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that ORF95 was predominantly localized in the cytoplasm. Further, western blot analysis indicated that ORF95 is a structural protein of virion envelope. These results provide a novel basis to make further efforts to clarify the function of ORF95 in the process of AngHV infection and the possibility to use ORF95 as antigen to develop AngHV subunit vaccine.

Cultural industries in emerging economies under the background of economic globalisation and information networks

This article uses a variety of survey methods to conduct investigations and analyses the proportion and economic benefits of cultural industries in China's emerging markets in the past five years, as well as the impact of new cultural industries and economic industries in the context of economic globalisation. The research results show that in the total economic output value, the proportion of new cultural industries is getting higher and higher, which stems from the support of national policies. However, it also inevitably has some shortcomings, such as the rigid content form of some cultural industries, which is inconsistent with consumer psychology; the level of industrial clusters is low, the market environment problems are prominent; the protection of intellectual property rights is not strong enough, and infringements occur from time to time, etc. Only by solving these problems can the cultural industry achieve healthy and substantial development.

The Chuanyue (Traversing) of Western Cultural Industry Theories in China

This paper discusses the reception and transformation of western theories of Culture Industry in China during the Reform Era (1978-present). It proposes the term 穿越 (chuanyue, traverse), rather than communication or traveling theory, in order to probe into the complexity of the interaction, modification and transformation of western theories of Culture Industry and creative industries in China. The paper focuses on 1) issues of time lag or disjunction, in that it took more than half a century for the critique of Culture Industry to enter China; 2) divergent interpretations of Culture Industry with a strong critical edge of capitalist commodification of culture and cultural industries as related to the state policy of economic growth; and 3) pragmatic appropriations of Critical Theory.

Optimization of the efficacy of a SWCNTs-based subunit vaccine against infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus in mandarin fish

Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) cause a high mortality disease which brings substantial economic losses to the mandarin fish culture industry in China. This study was aimed at optimizing the efficacy of a SWCNTs-based immersion subunit vaccine (SWCNTs-M-MCP) which as a promising vaccine against ISKNV. Mandarin fish were vaccinated by immersion, then we designed an orthogonal experiment to optimize different parameters affecting vaccination such as immune duration of bath immunization, immune dose, and fish density when immunized. Our results showed that the highest relative percent survival (86.7%) was found in the group 6 with 8 h of immune duration, 20 mg/L of immune dose, and 8 fish per liter of fish density. And other immune responses (serum antibody production, enzyme activities, and immune-related genes expression) also demonstrated similar results. In addition, the expression of IRF-I in group 6 (8 h, 20 mg/L, 8 fish per liter) was significant extents, and about 16-folds increases were obtained than the control group at 21 d post-vaccination. And the highest specific antibody response was significantly increased (more than 4-folds) than control group which was found in group 6. The optimum immune duration, immune dose, and fish density of SWCNTs-M-MCP were 8 h, 20 mg/L, 8 fish per liter, respectively. Importantly, our results also showed that immune duration had the greatest effect on the immune response of our vaccine, followed by immune dose. The study reported herein provides a helpful reference for the effective use of vaccine in fish farming industry.

Advertisements and Engagement Strategies on a Cross-media Television Event: A Case Study of Tmall Gala

Tmall Gala is a television event co-produced by Chinese internet company Alibaba and traditional television broadcasters to count-down for an emerging shopping festival: Double Eleven Shopping Festival. Mobile applications developed by Alibaba are applied as the second-screen for this television programme. This paper aims to study advertising strategies and audience engagement strategies on this cross-media television event, after the integration of internet technologies and companies into the cultural industries in China. Based on content analysis, we study general advertising tactics and the second-screen engagement strategies, as well as Alibaba's specific self-advertising contents in Tmall Gala 2018. This study shows that specific tactics are applied to avoid audience missing advertising information during the multitasking process. Alibaba’s brand values blend with artistic performances and participative activities in the gala. These values legitimise the lifestyle relaying on e-commerce services and encourage users to subject themselves within the business of Alibaba. Finally, we argue that the ritual function of the television event does not disappear with the integration of the internet because producers can manage audience attention within the cross-media matrix. This case study can illustrate, on a global level, how a dominant internet company integrating with cultural industries, can embed its brand values in the consumerist culture in the society, which can, in turn, consolidate its infrastructural role in the internet macro-ecosystem.

Data envelopment analysis of the efficiency of urban cultural industries in China

With the development of China's economy in recent years, its cultural industry has become increasingly prominent. The industry has brought enormous economic and social benefits to the country and is attracting growing attention from the government. Scientific evaluation of the efficiency of the urban cultural industry will help to guide its development. In this study, the efficiency of cultural industries in six cities, Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Tianjin, Yinchuan and Urumqi, were calculated using a three-stage data envelopment analysis model, and the reasons were analysed. The results demonstrated that the overall efficiency of cultural industries in the six cities was poor due to low management and technical levels. The effect of the environment on efficiency was also significant. It was concluded that the model can accurately analyse the efficiency of cultural industries in cities and provide a data reference for their healthy development.

RNA-seq analysis of local tissue of Carassius auratus gibelio with pharyngeal myxobolosis: Insights into the pharyngeal mucosal immune response in a fish-parasite dialogue

The lack of practical control measures for pharyngeal myxobolosis is becoming an important limiting factor for the sustainable development of the gibel carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) culture industry in China. Myxobolus honghuensis has been identified as the causative agent of this pandemic disease, which exclusively infects the pharynx of gibel carp, a potential important mucosal lymphoid-associated tissue (MLAT). Myxozoa generally initiate invasion through the mucosal tissues of fish, where some of them also complete their sporogonial stages. However, the pharynx-associated immune responses of teleost against myxosporeans infection remain unknown. Here, a de novo transcriptome assembly of the pharynx of gibel carp naturally infected with M. honghuensis was performed for the first time, using RNA-seq. Comparative analysis of severely infected and mildly infected pharyngeal tissues (SI group and MI group) from the same fish individuals and control pharyngeal tissues (C group) from the uninfected fish was carried out to investigate the potential mucosal immune function of the fish pharynx, and characterize the panoramic picture of pharynx local mucosal immune responses of gibel carp against the M. honghuensis infection. A total of 242,341 unigenes were obtained and pairwise comparison resulted in 13,009 differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) in the SI/C group comparison, 6014 DEGs in the MI/C group comparison, and 9031 DEGs in the SI/MI group comparison. Comprehensive analysis showed that M. honghuensis infection elicited a significant parasite load-dependent alteration of the expression of numerous innate and adaptive immune-related genes in the local lesion tissue. Innate immune molecules, including mucins, toll-like receptors, C-type lectin, serum amyloid A, cathepsins and complement components were significantly up-regulated in the SI group compared with the C group. Up-regulation of genes involved in apoptosis signaling pathway and the IFN-mediated immune system were found in the SI group, suggesting these two pathways played a crucial role in innate immune response to M. honghuensis infection. Up-regulation of chemokines and chemokine receptors and the induction of the leukocyte trans-endothelial migration pathways in the severely and mildly infected pharynx suggested that many leucocytes were recruited to the local infected sites to mount a strong mucosal immune responses against the myxosporean infection. Up-regulation of CD3D, CD22, CD276, IL4/13A, GATA3, arginase 2, IgM, IgT and pIgR transcripts provided strong evidences for the presence of T/B cells and specific mucosal immune responses at local sites with M. honghuensis infection. Our results firstly demonstrated the mucosal function of the teleost pharynx and provided evidences of intensive local immune defense responses against this mucosa-infecting myxosporean in the gibel carp pharynx. Pharyngeal myxobolosis was shaped by a prevailing anti-inflammatory response pattern during the advanced infection stages. Further understanding of the functional roles of fish immune molecules involved in the initial invasion and/or final sporogony site may facilitate future development of control strategies for this myxobolosis.
