Influence Path Analysis of Coordination between Material and Spiritual Civilization Based on the VAR Model

This paper quantitatively analyzes the degree of coordination between China's material civilization and spiritual civilization by establishing an entropy method-coupled coordination degree model. Based on the quantitative results, indicators of China's 1987-2021 tax policy, monetary policy, and open economy policy are introduced to construct a vector autoregressive model to deeply analyze the dynamic relationship between the level of coordination and these influencing factors from multiple perspectives. It is found that maintaining a robust monetary policy, optimizing the structure of foreign trade and exports, and optimizing the structure of taxation are conducive to further enhancing the level of the degree of harmonization between China's material and spiritual civilization, and promoting the high-quality development of China's modernization.

A study of the application of linear programming to material transportation problems

With the quick development of the world logistics industry, the transportation cost of Chinese enterprises is still very high. There is still a lot of room for development compared with other developed countries. Reducing transportation costs, especially transportation costs, is one of the effective ways for enterprises to improve their income. Due to the rapid development of China's industry, the demand for various materials is increasing day by day. Therefore, China's material transportation is also getting more and more attention. Operations Research is a subject of establishing mathematical models to solve practical problems. It is very necessary to use the relevant theories of operations research to solve material transportation problems. By reading the related literature at home and abroad and analysing the characteristics of material transportation problems and the application of operations research in this field, it is found that the on-table operation method is unable to effectively solve the complex material transportation problems. In order to reduce the transportation cost of enterprises, by conducting theoretical and practical research on the material transportation problem in the field of logistics management, this paper aims to simulate and calculate it by establishing a mathematical model and using Lingo software.

How productive capacities influence trade-adjusted resources consumption in China: Testing resource-based EKC

A series of economic parameters may influence material footprints (resource consumption). The efficacy of a country's infrastructure for generating commodities is one of the most essential of these elements. This study contributes to determining the influence of productive capacities on trade-adjusted resource consumption in China. Using a bootstrapping autoregressive distributed lag (BARDL) model, it examines the co-integration relationship between China's material footprints (MF), productive capacity index (PCI), and economic growth from Q1-2000 to Q4-2018. The results exhibit that if PCI rises by one percent, long-term resource consumption falls by 0.298 percent while economic growth rises by 0.316 percent. In the short run, a one percent improvement in production efficiency has a comparable effect on economic growth (0.175%) and resource conservation (0.123%). Long-term resource consumption grew as per capita income rises. Moreover, the results do not support the resource-based Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis. Long-term estimates suggest that productive capacities have a significant impact on lowering material footprints, adding validity to the notion. The findings show stronger impacts in the long run than in the short run, consistent with the long-run transmission of economic and environmental implications, with significant convergence towards long-run equilibrium. This result implies that efficient resource management can be obtained by improving productive capacities.

Study of Creeping Discharges Propagating Along a Solid Insulating Surface Immersed in Mineral Oil and Palm Kernel Oil Methyl Ester Under Negative Lightning Impulse Voltage

This article presents the results of an experiment designed to study creeping discharges on a solid insulating surface immersed in palm kernel oil methyl ester (PKOME) compared with those produced from mineral oil (MO). The investigation takes place under standard negative lightning impulse voltage application, and for the three following solid insulating surfaces: hardened glass (HG), porcelain (PO), and simple glass (SG). The distributions of the radial discharge occupancy densities as a function of the thickness of the solid material and the insulating liquid are evaluated. A statistical study of the total and final length of the branches produced by the discharges is presented, as well as the current amplitudes and the charge produced by this phenomenon. A fractal analysis of the phenomenon is also presented. The experimental results show that the distribution of the average radial density of the discharge, the total and final lengths of the branches, and fractal dimension depend strongly on the physicochemical characteristics of the insulation system.

Origin and development of primitive "porcelain" (proto-porcelain) in China

The article discusses the features of the development of Chinese primitive porcelain (proto-porcelain). The purpose of the article is to reveal the periodization of the development of Chinese porcelain in the early stages of its history and the influence of proto-porcelain on the so-called "mature" porcelain of later periods. Primitive porcelain, which is the transitional stage from earthenware to real porcelain, dates back to the era between the Shang Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty. The study was conducted using historical and comparative methods, as well as the method of formal stylistic analysis. It was important to determine the characteristics of primitive porcelain and to reveal its role in the development of the global art of folklore production. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that it not only reveals the time frame for the production of primitive porcelain in China and determines its technological and chemical properties, but also points out the influence factors of primitive porcelain on the historical development of Chinese and world porcelain. It was revealed that the origin of primitive porcelain dates back to the 16th-11th centuries BC, its development took place in the XI-II centuries BC, and the end of the era of primitive porcelain refers to the II-III centuries BC. Primitive porcelain has evolved over nearly two millennia. Having reached its peak, the technology of its manufacture provided the technological basis for the creation of "mature" porcelain. The conclusion is made about the significant influence that primitive porcelain had on Chinese, and through it – on world porcelain, largely determining the formation of this significant phenomenon of material culture.

The Production of Blue and White Porcelain with Bi-Shaped Bottom at the End of the Ming Dynasty and Its Influence on White Porcelain of Royal Kiln in the 17th Century of Joseon Dynasty

The shape and size of the bowl vary depending on the region and the times. A bowl used every day does not change its shape significantly. Over time, the detailed shape and size of the bowl gradually change. The shape of the bowl may change due to various factors, such as changing the climate environment, growing social scale, and changing the composition of the community's changes. However, it is difficult to clearly analyze the cause and time of the difference in the shape of the bowl that changes according to gradual cultural changes. On the other hand, if there is a bowl of unusual shape and pattern, the cause and change of its appearance can be directly inferred. The white porcelain with bi-shaped bottom made in Joseon and Japan, including China in the 17<sup>th</sup> century, is a prominent formative element in the ceramic culture of the three East Asian countries. Since the production period is limited and the appearance is special, it is also used as a material to determine the production period. In fact, bi-shaped bottom is recognized as one of the important characteristics of white porcelain in the 17<sup>th</sup> century in the study of Joseon ceramic history. Due to their preference for antiques, which were popular in the late Ming Dynasty, the characteristics of the previous period’s Ming Royal kiln ceramics were reflected in the products of commercial kiln’s white porcelain in China at that time. The contact between Joseon and China, which was caused by the Japanese Invasion of Joseon in 1592 and the Manchu war of 1636, allowed the Joseon royal family and the capital city to use various Chinese porcelain, including blue and white porcelain with bi-shaped bottom. After the Japanese Invasion of Korea, Joseon gave sincere services to the Ming court, diplomats and made the form Chinese. Later, in the 17<sup>th</sup> century, Joseon Royal kiln produced white porcelain ref lecting the characteristics of Chinese vessels, and it can be understood that white porcelain with bi-shaped bottom also appeared in this trend.

A Study of the Composition and Dissolution of Jianshui Purple Pottery in Yunnan, China

Pottery is a gem in the history of human civilization and a crystallization of human wisdom. Yunnan Jianshui purple pottery is one of the four famous types of pottery in China, with a long history and superb craftsmanship. Used as tableware, research on the composition and element dissolution of pottery is extremely significant for production and health. This paper takes Jianshui purple pottery as its research object, samples its raw ores and finished products, and conducts X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry experiments, and dissolution tests. The chemical composition, microstructure, and trace element concentrations of pottery before and after firing were measured. Results show that the dissolution of purple pottery under various use scenarios is low and meets health requirements. Combined with the characteristics of purple pottery, the composition changes and the mechanism of change before and after firing are discussed, which can be used as the theoretical basis for improving pottery production in the future.

Offensive Realism and the Future of China's Rise*

One of the most important questions about China's rising military and economic power is whether this trend will eventually lead to confrontation with the United States in the future or if China will become even more deeply integrated into the contemporary world order. John Mearsheimer's theory of offensive realism claims that great powers relentlessly maximize their power in a highly competitive anarchical world in order to assure their survival by trying to achieve regional hegemony at the expense of other powerful actors. Unlike many other contemporary liberal and realist thinkers, Mearsheimer predicts that China will try to become regional hegemon in Asia, which will inevitably lead to counterbalancing moves by today's sole regional hegemon – the United States. For Mearsheimer, significant change in China's material capabilities will unescapably lead it to a conflict with an American‐led counter‐balancing coalition, similar to the situation during the Cold War superpower competition. In this paper, I argue that the theory of offensive realism is lacking both in theoretical accuracy and in interpretation of empirical cases chosen by its author. That is especially true of contemporary offensive realism's analysis of China's rise to become a true global power. Understanding the deficiencies of offensive realism is crucial for avoiding foreign policy prescriptions that might lead to further deterioration of future Sino–American relations.

Scientific analysis of some glazed pottery unearthed from Warring States Chu tombs in Jiangling, Hubei Province: Indication for the origin of the low‐fired glazed pottery in China

A portable energy dispersive X‐ray fluorescence spectrometer and a micro‐Raman spectrometer are used for the nondestructive analysis of a batch of glazed pottery ornaments unearthed from Warring States Chu (楚) tombs (B.C.475–B.C.221) in Jiangling, Hubei Province, China. According to the chemical compositions obtained, all of the glazes belong to the lead–barium–silicate (PbO–BaO–SiO2) system and contain certain levels of copper. The man‐made barium copper silicate pigment crystals, such as Chinese blue (BaCuSi4O10) and Chinese purple (BaCuSi2O6), are identified from several samples by micro‐Raman spectrometer. Besides, gypsum and hematite are found in the white and brown regions of two eye beads. Combined with other glazed pottery and the related silicate artifacts (e.g., lead–barium glass and faience, potash–lime glass and glazed pottery, high‐lead glazed pottery, etc.), the origin, development, and affected factors of ancient Chinese low‐fired glazed pottery have been discussed preliminarily. The present study provides principal evidences for the technological provenance, raw material recipes, and the relationship between low‐fired glazed pottery and related vitreous materials of ancient China. It also provides some significant clues for the origin and the development of ancient Chinese lead–barium glass.

Towards Modern Ceramics in China: Engineering Sources and the Manufacture Céramique de Shanghai.

Chinese ceramic technology moved from craftsmanship to an industry-based science "ceramics engineering" from the 1840s to the 1940s. The study argues that construction activities induced the move, starting in architectural ceramics. Increasing efforts from architects, civil and railway engineers, mechanical and electrical engineers, and chemical and geological engineers directed the development, ultimately incorporating China's porcelain and pottery industry as one branch. This new perspective on the historiography of architecture and technology of China is built on engineering and archival sources, laboratory methods, and fieldwork. While opening a broad picture, the article also focuses on a crucial moment when the Belgian company Crédit Foncier d'Extrême-Orient introduced into China the modern manufacture system of ceramics in 1909-35. The history engages Shanghai's heyday of high-rise buildings.
