Research on Cultural Confidence of Contemporary College Students and Its Cultivation Based on BSO Algorithm

Abstract The first topic covered in this paper is the development of cultural confidence among college students within the context of the Internet, including its manifestations, characteristics, and value implications. Secondly, elite guidance is used to carry out adaptive parameter optimization of the BSO algorithm, and then horizontal and dynamic cultural communication strategies are proposed. Finally, an examination is conducted on college students' current state of cultural self-confidence. The results show that the average knowledge of cultural confidence of different majors is 0.0477, 0.3097, 0.4492 and 0.1935, respectively, and 882 college students indicate that they are very familiar with the knowledge of social core values. It follows that to foster college students’ cultural confidence, society and families must work with colleges and universities to encourage students to identify with and have confidence in Chinese culture.

“I Am Not Just a Man”: Chinese Butterfly’s Identity Anxiety and Ethical Predicament in David Henry Hwang’s M. Butterfly

M. Butterfly is narrated through the memory of Western white man Rene Gallimard, which makes the audience focus on Gallimard’s behaviors and ignore the Oriental man Song Liling’s emotions, actions, and choices. However, there are many plots portraying Song as a Chinese Butterfly to deconstruct the stereotype of Madame Butterfly. This paper, from the perspective of ethical literary criticism, probes into Song’s brain texts formed in their growth and working experience and analyzes Song’s anxiety and confusion about his multiple and chaotic ethical identities, so as to demonstrate that Song is not a “dragon lady” or a “transvestite”. In China, Song is feminized and marginalized in society as “a son of a prostitute”, “a gay”, and “an Opera actor”. He wants to change the situation, so he becomes “a spy” for the Chinese government and “a lover” for Gallimard. Still, due to the failure of ethical enlightenment in childhood and the cruel social environment in China, Song is trapped in ethical predicaments of “to be or not to be”, struggling in the ethical conflicts between the honor of the individual and the interest of the nation, as well as between the desire for love and the mission from government. The song is a victim of the era and politics, and his identity anxiety and ethical predicament reflect David Henry Hwang’s position as an Asian American playwright and reveal his ethical appeal for gender equality, identity recognition and cultural confidence.

Based on the Typical Differences between Chinese and English, the Practical Problems and Solutions in English

Although there are differences between Chinese and English as two different languages, one of their common points is that they both carry their own cultures, and culture is one of the "key nodes" that can connect the two. Therefore, in order to achieve "common language structure" on the basis of "learning home and abroad", it is necessary to use English as a tool to spread Chinese culture, and then promote the dissemination, communication and integration of different cultures, which is also one of the important purposes of learning English.

‘The words of a nation worn down by cares’: classical wisdom and modern crisis in Lin Shu’s Aesop’s Fables

Abstract This article analyses the remarkable translation of Aesop’s Fables produced by the Chinese literatus-turned-cultural-impresario Lin Shu [林紓; 1852–1924] at the turn of the twentieth century. Collaborating with colleagues proficient in English, which he himself was not, Lin translated the Fables into elegant Classical Chinese. This article examines the preface to the translation, which uses Aesop’s status as an enduring classical figure in Western education to argue for the continuing relevance of Classical Chinese in newly constituted school curricula. More importantly though, this article probes at the voluminous epimythia Lin composed for most of the fables in the collection. Written immediately after the humiliating Boxer Protocol, these present a feisty critique of Western imperialism in China. They range in topic from China’s lack of cultural self-confidence to comparative reflection on the status of enslaved Africans in the antebellum USA. Lin was a confident and wilful reader of texts; in his hands, the Fables become a foil for razor-edged polemic. His translation is surely one of the most culturally significant in the Fables’ long and murky textual history, and represents an overlooked monument of classical reception in an East Asia teetering on the violent edge of modernity.

The object of the study was the writer’s views on the people and their role in the formation of culture, the subject was the category “nationality”, presented in the journalistic and artistic works of F. M. Dostoevsky. The purpose of the article is to identify the historical context in which the writer’s ideas about nationality were formed and developed, and to highlight various aspects of the problem of nationality in the works of F. M. Dostoevsky.

As a result of the scientific research, the author points out the inevitability of the emergence of pochvennichestvo in Russian social life of the second half of the 19th century and analyzes the writer’s position in the dispute between Westerners and Slavophiles, coming to the conclusion that F. M. Dostoevsky did not oppose Western, essentially material, civilization, but resolutely rejected its inevitable by-product - spiritual degeneration. The writer asserted the power inherent in Russian Orthodox culture to resist the erosion of Western culture and called on the Russian people to take upon themselves the mission of the messiah. Dostoevsky’s ideas about nationality, like his pochvenism, prove the writer’s confidence of Russian people and Russian culture.

Research on Integrating Revolutionary Culture into Ideological and Political Education in Colleges and Universities in the New Era

As the revolutionary culture is the valuable spiritual wealth of the Communist Party of China (CPC) from overcoming multiple difficulties and challenges, an outstanding achievement of the sinicization of Marxism, the traditions of revolution therein are important carrier of ideological and political education in colleges and universities in the new era. Containing the essence of Marxist ideology, the spirit of hard work and fearless sacrifice, the revolutionary culture is the inheritance and innovation of excellent traditional culture, and the endogenous power of cultural self-confidence.

Giving full play to the main channel of ideological and political courses, strengthening the educational joint forces of revolutionary culture and campus culture, and innovating the revolutionary culture communication platform are the necessary ways to promote the revolutionary culture education.

The travelogue cooking show in a sub-state nation: Representing Scotland in British food television

Food television offers a new and unique lens on national identity, the Anglo-Scottish relationship, and their cultural representation in contemporary Britain. This article is based on the analysis of three British travelogue cooking shows, first broadcast between 1995 and 2011, about Scotland and its food. The programmes analysed exemplify and reinforce long-standing cultural constructions of the relationship between England and Scotland as sub-state nations of the United Kingdom, as well as illustrating and creating new national scripts, notably in relation to class and gender. These ‘homeland’ travelogue cooking shows consistently associate Scotland with a defined set of local and traditional foods, closely associated with a Romantic construction of Scotland, its history and landscape. However, the programmes also indicate wider changes in British and Scottish food culture during this period, including the rise of the local food movement and the increasing economic success and cultural confidence of the Scottish food and drink industry. The article highlights the role of celebrity chefs in the cultural construction of contemporary British sub-state national relationships.

A Study on the Inheritance Status and Enhancement Path of Chinese Ancient Poetry Art Songs Integrated into Vocal Music Teaching in Contemporary Colleges and Universities

Traditional culture with refined and meaningful words, beautiful verses and rich connotations. As a product of the fusion of East and West, Chinese ancient poetry art songs is a perfect fusion of the profound Chinese poems and Western elegant music creation techniques, which is the continuous development of the excellent traditional Chinese culture. Colleges and universities, as the main channel for the training of high-quality music talents, shoulder the important responsibilities of talent training, cultural inheritance and scientific research. Since the birth of Chinese ancient poetry art songs, there have been high requirements in vocal singing, mood shaping and cultural expression, etc. Therefore, integrating Chinese ancient poetry art songs into vocal teaching in colleges and universities can not only improve the students' vocal singing level and comprehensive cultural literacy, but also enhance the students' cultural self-confidence in learning and singing. However, it is found that the inheritance status of Chinese ancient poetry art songs integrated into vocal music teaching in colleges and universities is not optimistic, and there are problems such as insufficient attention of students, irrational curriculum facilities, lack of attention to the improvement of comprehensive quality, confusing use of teaching materials, and fewer opportunities for students to practise, and so on. Through the analysis of the causes, it is found that there are misunderstandings in the students' cognition, the teaching objectives are not clear enough, the teaching faculty is scarce, and the teaching ability needs to be improved. In view of the above problems, this study proposes that students should be guided to improve their value cognition and set up a correct sense of inheritance; teachers should clarify the teaching objectives and create a reasonable curriculum system; institutions should strengthen the training of teachers and enhance the ability of diversified teaching; institutions should encourage teachers to reasonably prepare teaching materials and provide a scientific teaching basis; and institutions and teachers should also actively develop practical activities and provide sufficient opportunities for exercise.

A Comparison of the English Subtitles of The Wandering Earth Series from the Perspective of Sociological Translation Studies

As a social practice activity affected by many social and cultural factors, the subjective initiative of social roles, accumulated capital and habits will affect the dissemination of translation products. In 1972, Holmes proposed to promote function-oriented descriptive translation research, and explore the phenomenon of translation within the framework of sociology. Sociological translation studies construct a system based on the core three elements of Bourdieu's sociological theorycapital, field, and habit, and explore the different roles played by actors in social practice. The popularity of the 2019 and 2023 Spring Festival movie series The Wandering Earth had aroused peoples attention to Chinese science fiction movies. This movie series is based on the short novel of the same name published in 2000 by Liu Cixin, a new generation of Chinese science fiction novelists. The films were translated into English and released in overseas theaters. This article will take the subtitle translation of the series as the starting point from the perspective of sociological translation studies, take culture and market as the two general directions, and explore the changes and reasons for the subtitle translation of The Wandering Earth I and II. This study finds that the subtitle quality of the Wandering Earth series of movies has improved significantly. The change is mainly related to China's cultural self-confidence, cultural export policy support and market attraction in recent years. The sociological perspective of this study compensates for the theoretical singularity of most subtitle translation studies, and improves the objectivity of the research mechanism, which can promote the diversification of other translation studies. At the same time, it also helps more films improve their own translation quality, achieve a win-win situation of going abroad and achieving commercial value and cultural output.

Anthropological Explanation and Practical Revelation of Cultural Confidence

Cultural self-confidence is ultimately people's recognition of national cultural values, which means that the study of cultural self-confidence must pay more attention to "people". Therefore, this paper applies Marxist anthropological theory to interpret cultural self-confidence from the three levels of human development, human value and human needs, and accordingly proposes that in the development of cultural self-confidence, we should know the status of "people", pay attention to the influence of "people", and play the subjective role of "people". Accordingly, it proposes that in the process of developing cultural self-confidence, it is necessary to understand the status of "man", pay attention to the influence of "man", and give full play to the subjective role of "man", which lays a solid theoretical foundation and a guiding direction for building a strong socialist cultural force by consolidating cultural self-confidence.
