ZHANG Jin-gen;YAN Meng-yao
Abstract:In recent years,the community governance led by the CPC organization has increasingly been an important way to achieve the practice and innovation of the primary-level governance.Based on community self-organizing capabilities and administrative intervention,communities can be divided into four different types:community in post-unit system,commercial community,community of government indemnificatory housing and community of government planning unit.Under the logic of supplement,gathering forces,building order and improving quality,the Party organizations choose different paths of mobilizing members,integrating resources,organization embedding and shaping values to lead community governance.The comparative case analysis finds that the logic of the current Party organization leading community governance lies in activating rather thanmonopolizing Chinese society.In thisway,this new logicmeans to re-understand the relationships between the Party and the nation and between the Party and the society,and the Party organization leading community governance should be prudently put into practice.The Three-dimensional M odel of Constructing Discourse System of M ajor-Country

YANG Ming-xing;ZHOU An-qi
Abstract:After nearly two decades of theoretical exploration and practical innovation,China's diplomatic idea"peaceful rise"has formed relatively perfect text system,translation system and communication system and becomes an important part of the discourse system ofmajor-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics now.The construction of China's"peaceful rise"discourse system is a systematic projectof cross-cultural construction,translation and publicity of diplomatic discourse.The text system of"peaceful rise"adopts the theory of"focus communication"and forms differentiated texts for the world and different countries.The appropriate translations of the core discourse"peaceful rise"are put forward based on the standard of"political equivalence"in the translation system.A"polyphony"communication pattern with the participation ofmultiple subjects is shaped in the communication system.China's"peaceful rise"discourse system has gradually formed a stable and positive cognitive feedback in the international community through the three-dimensionalmode of"constructing,translating and communicating".
The Identification and Duration of Turning Points in China's Business Cycle:an Analysis Based on M arkov-Sw itching Dynam ic Factor M odel
PAN Ze-qing
Abstract:Based on themonthly data from July 1995 to July 2020,this paper selects the growth rate of generated energy,industrial added value,exportand total retail sales of social consumer goods as four indicators to constructa Markov-switching dynamic factormodelwhich can identify the turning point of China's business cycle and its duration.The results show that the expansion and contraction of China's economy are asymmetric and the expansion period is generally longer than the contraction one which lasts for 12 months by average.At the same time,exogenous factors have great influence on extending the duration of the expansion or contraction.Though China'smacroeconomic regulation and control has shortened the duration of economic contraction and reduced the negative impact to a certain extent,it still remains to be strengthened in future.

GUO Ling;WANG Yang
Abstract:This paper explores the mediating effect of economic growth influenced by fiscal decentralization by constructing the structural equation model ofmultiplemediators,taking promotion incentives,local government debts and land finance as the transmis-sion paths.It shows that,in general,fiscal decentralization has a positivemediating effecton economic growth by themediating paths.What'smore,rrom the perspective of its path,fiscal decentralization promotes economic growth by the promotion incentivemechanism and restrains economic growth by themechanisms of local government debts and land finance.Additionally,from the perspective of regional characteristics,there is obvious regional heterogeneity of economic growth influenced by fiscal decentralization,the mediating effect presents a distribution pattern of"high in the west and low in the east",and its difference ismainly originated from the promotion incentivemechanism.
On Physical Participation in Aesthetic Experience
GUO Yong-jian
Abstract:Traditionally,themain definition of aesthetics is"non-utilitarian",and the corresponding aesthetics posture is the"contemplation"or"spectatorship".The environmental esthetician Arnold Eerleant advocates that the participation mode replaces the contemplation,but he fails to realize that since the contemplation or spectatorship is ametaphor of aesthetic disinterestedness,we can participate or intervene in the contemplation or spectatorship.There are threemain performances of physical participation in the aesthetic experience:first,the action of the body;second,the fusion of perceptions;and third,the reversibility between the subject and object.Aesthetic experience should notbemonopolized by the visual and auditory sense,because any senses can contribute to aesthetics,and enrich,expand and deepen aesthetic experience.One of the performances of the physical participation of aesthetic experience is the perceptual synthesis ofmultiple senses.Eerleant didn'tnotice the"reversibility"of the aesthetic experience,but the reversibility between the subject and the object is the highest level of physical participation in aesthetic experience.

WANG Su-yu
Abstract:In the legal system of the Qing Dynasty,it is easy to see national-level and provincial-level laws and regulations,instead of county-level"stipulations".Found in Yancheng Area,Henan Province,the stone tablet built by"the Head of Yancheng County Lu Jie who is"specially awarded plus five-level official rank and ten times praise records"documents detailed"stipulations"about themanagement of private estate transactions during the reign of Emperor Daoguang and Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty.It includes the regulation of agencies and house or land owners,such as the implementation of official lease contracts,themanagement of agency,the inspection of tax contracts and officially stipulating the"commission".The stone tablet shows notonly the administrative and legal operations of the county government in the Qing Dynasty,butalso that the county government interactswith public customs by somemeasures like regulating transactions,setting up agencies and allowing those agencies to represent some public rights,of which many governance behaviors follow the higher-level law and are completed with the countymatters or called the county-level judicial interpretation.Therefore,the unique local legal discourse is created and those stipulations on the stone tablet naturally become an important part of the traditional legal system.
