    The Evolution of Chinese Enterprises’ Supply Chains:Decoupling and Disrupting vs. Strengthening and Stabilizing
    Lianxing Yang, Feng Chen
    J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (5): 168-186.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.05.014

    Against the backdrop of intensifying global economic and trade uncertainties, supply chain resilience has become a pivotal driver of firm competitiveness and a cornerstone of national economic security. Drawing on the National Enterprise Tax Survey and the Qichacha database, this study constructs micro-level supply chain indicators covering 3.3 million enterprise-to-enterprise pairs from 2011 to 2020.By analyzing firm-level supply chain resilience and network structures, we find that the overall resilience of Chinese enterprises’ supply chains has exhibited a steady upward trend. Supply chain systems are evolving from a “core–periphery” configuration toward a multi-nodal, decentralized, and highly collaborative elastic network structure, reflecting structural reconstruction and partial functional upgrading. Broadly aware of the risks of “chain disruption”, firms have proactively adopted diversified layouts and strengthened cooperation to mitigate vulnerabilities. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that domestic enterprises outperform foreign-invested firms in enhancing supply chain resilience. In “bottleneck” industries, resilience has significantly improved under policy support and domestic substitution initiatives, while strategic emerging industries have developed diversified supply chain structures by leveraging technological advancements. Further evidence shows that, with accelerated network restructuring, resilience improvements are particularly pronounced in key sectors such as manufacturing, mining, and information technology services. This study offers important insights for fostering autonomous and controllable supply chains in China. It also provides policy implications for strengthening and stabilizing supply chains and improving resilience and security levels.

    The Retrospect of Contemporary Linguistic Theories
    Bao-jia LI
    Journal of East China Normal University (Philosophy and Social Sciences)    2021, 53 (6): 77-95.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2021.06.008

    Western semantics history could be summarized as historical orientation, psychological orientation and contextual orientation. In other words, Western semantics of the 19th century has been successively overlapped with biology, psychology and sociology. All “new theories” in modern times we are worshipping, including psychology, subjectivity, sociality, form and function, statics and dynamics, context and situation, metaphor and metonymy, and meaning domain and prototype theory, are beneath previous masterpieces. Owing to the three trends of formalism in the 20th century, three cracks formed in Western humanistic view of language. Not until the 1960s, did a return to traditional humanistic view of language in contemporary Western linguistic study emerge. Based on dozens of previous original works of German, French, English and Russian languages, this paper traces the origins of these “new theories” in order to promote the research of the linguistic and intellectual history.

    From “Structure-oriented” to “Relationship-oriented”:Reconstructing the Globalization Theory Facing an Era of Uncertainty
    Jun WEN
    Journal of East China Normal University (Philosophy and Social Sciences)    2021, 53 (5): 159-173.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2021.05.011

    In today’s world, the spread of the uncertain trend of global development not only gives birth to brand-new social facts, but also impacts the intellectual foundation and theoretical soil on which globalization research is rooted. Facing the realistic tension brought by a series of global shocks and continuous uncertain development, we must critically reflect on and reconstruct globalization theory at the theoretical level. At the epistemological level, the existing globalization theory is still limited to empirical deduction and circular demonstration of “meta-problems”, representing the dualistic mindset of “structure-action”; while at the ontological level, it still stays in the formal debate and repeated game of meta-logic, representing the dualistic opposition of “time-space”, which eventually leads to the methodological falling into the shackles of “structure-oriented” speculative logic and research. In order to effectively cope with the new trend of global uncertainty, we can try a new path of paradigm transformation and theoretical research from “structure-oriented” to “relationship-oriented” in the theoretical research of globalization.

    On Scholars′ Paintings:“Implication in Rock Paintings” for 700 Years from SU Shi to ZHENG Ban-qiao
    Zhong-yi XIA
    Journal of East China Normal University (Philosophy and Social Sciences)    2022, 54 (5): 63-79.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2022.05.007

    In this paper, the “rock” (modeling element) in the traditional flower and bird paintings is aesthetically divided into two categories, that is, “implication in rock paintings” and “rock worship and pleasure” regarded as an instrumental symbol to mark the distinction between “scholars′ paintings” and “literati′s paintings”. This is significant in three aspects. First, from SU Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty to DONG Qi-chang of the Ming Dynasty, the paintings of men of letters that express their feelings and interests are known as “scholars′ paintings” and “literati′s paintings”. However, in the painting world after DONG Qi-chang, the title of “literati′s paintings” vaguely “cover” “scholars′ paintings”. The “implication in rock paintings” refined in this paper is to prove that “scholars′ paintings” are different from “literati′s paintings” because the former pays more attention to the artist′s moral feelings than the interest in brush and ink skills. Second, from the perspective of “implication in rock paintings”, the history of Chinese paintings from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty can be divided into “scholars′ paintings” and “literati′s paintings”: the former from SU Shi to ZHENG Ban-qiao, and the latter from MI Fu to CHEN Hong-shou. This is the life roles of the ancient sages represented by rock paintings. Third, from the “Dongpo′s grotesque rock” and “Banqiao′s bamboo, orchid and rock” in the “implication in rock paintings”, we can not only know the ancient inheritance of exemplary persons′ poetry and philosophy, but also learn that the “rock” in the eyes of the worthy has not been a cold object in nature since ancient times, but a symbol of the spiritual foundation of the worthy when they deal with the turbid world.

    Cold War History Studies in the English Academic World in Recent Twenty Years:Retrospect,Critique and Prospects
    Ya-feng XIA
    Journal of East China Normal University (Philosophy and Social Sciences)    2022, 54 (1): 82-94.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2022.01.008

    Three correlative traits stand out in the Cold War history studies in the English world in the first 20 years of the 21st Century. First, with the “decentration” in the Cold War studies, the relationship between the Cold War and the Third World becomes a hotspot issue. Second, renewed attention is paid to the Cold War history in Europe, putting Europe in the central place rather than treating it as an object in great-power confrontation. Third, there are still lots of influential works on U.S.-Soviet Cold War History, in particular, on the peaceful end of the Cold War. Although scholars continue to debate on some of the very basic issues regarding the Cold War, Cold War studies will be an eternal field of inquiry. It will be remembered and studied like such historical events as World War I and World War II.

    Embodied Consumption and Emotional Interaction:Chinese Radio Drama from the Perspective of Soundscape
    Xiao-ye HAN
    Journal of East China Normal University (Philosophy and Social Sciences)    2023, 55 (6): 26-35.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2023.06.003

    Radio drama, also known as “drama to be enjoyed with ears”, has gone through an evolution from boom to bust in the changes of media. However, in the era of mobile Internet, it has realized a new development through the momentum of media integration. Nowadays, the rise of Internet radio drama has improved the interactivity and immersion of the audience’s listening experience. As a sound art of “accompanying audio”, “embodied consumption” and “emotional interaction”, it constructs a unique “soundscape”. In the process of “auditory turn”, the audience obtains emotional recognition and extends it in the virtual space, replacing “body” with “embodiment”. In this context, radio drama not only needs to pay attention to “what sound”, but also to “how to listen”, and then to the “sound needs” of different groups of people. Moreover, we need to pay attention not only to the construction of soundscape, but also to the significance of soundscape to the shaping of life and life community.

    National Security Governance Strategy in the New Era:Its System,Idea and Path
    Hua-fu JIANG, Jun LIU
    Journal of East China Normal University (Philosophy and Social Sciences)    2022, 54 (6): 105-111.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2022.06.012

    National security governance is related to the long-term governance of the Party, the long-term stability of the country, and people’s life and work in peace and contentment. The strategic system of national security governance in the new era is a set of systematic institutional arrangements for maintaining and shaping national security, and it is the specific application of the national governance system in the field of national security. The strategic concept of national security governance in the new era is mainly reflected in the trinity of XI Jin-ping’s overall national security concept, with the purpose of people’s security, political security as the foundation, and national interests as the criterion. As for the practice path, we should adhere to safe development, promote the dynamic balance between high-quality development and high-level security, adhere to overall warfare, and coordinate traditional and non-traditional security, stick to the path of peaceful development, and promote the coordination of our own security and common security. To exactly grasp the strategy of national security governance system, follow the strategic path of national security governance system and promote national security governance in a comprehensive way is significant for us to realize the goal of the second century and achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

    Philosophy of Practice and Theory of Practices
    Yong-liu ZHENG, Lu-xia CHEN
    Journal of East China Normal University (Philosophy and Social Sciences)    2021, 53 (6): 32-43.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2021.06.004

    Although both philosophy of practice and theory of practices share the concept “practice”, there are few works that systematically explore the relationship between these two traditions. There is no unified tradition of practical philosophy in the West, and after Hegel, there is a division between traditional and modern practical philosophy. In terms of understanding the elements of practice, modern practical philosophy shows its affinity with Aristotle. Theory of practices directly inherits and develops modern practical philosophy, while its relationship with traditional practical philosophy is indirect and mediated by modern practical philosophy. Theory of practices develops the basic claims of modern practical philosophy in terms of fundamental philosophical positions, dualism, practical normativity, and future dimensions of practice into various fields such as sociology, anthropology, cultural theory, linguistics, philosophy of science, and even feminism, organizational studies, and consumption studies, thus providing a discipline-specific account for understanding various aspects of vivid social life. Modern practical philosophy and theory of practices may be unified in the future.

    Integrated Thinking of Discontinuous Memory:Collective Memory Construction of Public Emergencies
    Wei He
    J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (1): 115-127.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.01.012

    The core of collective memory lies in the dynamic integration of historical continuity of memory and its social construction. The frequently occurred public emergencies in modern society can be viewed as the sources and nodes of collective memory. Focusing on whether the construction of collective memory can be discontinuous, this paper tries to integrate and categorize scattered fragments of memory in different narrative dimensions of memory under the framework of “idea-image”, and integrates the overall construction logic of collective memory of public emergencies in modern society along the lines of “sketch-glue-construct”. At the same time, this paper holds that under the current uncertain society and the specific cultural context of China, the active construction and maintenance of collective memory of public emergencies with the goal of integrity is the basis of integrating useful experience in multiple time dimensions of modern society and the country, and rebuilding the cognition of social and cultural structure.

    The Dual Dimensions of Mechanism and Value:Research Progress and Prospects of Population Spatial Equilibrium
    Chen CHENG, Jin-hong DING, Gao-xiang GU, Yang TIAN
    Journal of East China Normal University (Philosophy and Social Sciences)    2023, 55 (6): 93-104.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2023.06.009

    To focus on population spatial equilibrium is to simplify the complexity of population equilibrium according to the outstanding problems in China’s population equilibrium development at the present stage. This study mainly includes the following factors: the population spatial equilibrium from the perspective of the market factors of macroeconomics, the equilibrium of social and economic structure, the spatial equilibrium of population and other factors under the influence of the regulation of natural geographic space, and the population spatial equilibrium of the residential system in the process of urbanization. The spatial equilibrium of population in Chinese context is discussed from the value dimension. This paper also discusses the practical exploration of population spatial equilibrium in China from the aspects of main problems, cause analysis, definition and measurement methods of population spatial equilibrium development in China and other regions. The future study of population spatial equilibrium should return to the essence of equilibrium, and make a scientific and academic exploration of this concept with strong application value from the micro-individual migration behavior. New research methods and analytical tools should be introduced to construct scientific evaluation criteria of population spatial equilibrium. A bridge should be built between the two discourse systems of value and mechanism, and a comprehensive concept of population spatial balance should be established that can link these two dimensions.

    What Does Handicraft Mean Today?
    Gan-li XU
    Journal of East China Normal University (Philosophy and Social Sciences)    2022, 54 (4): 125-136.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2022.04.013

    Most of the traditional handicrafts exist as the skills required for the manufacture of daily utensils. However, in many well-developed cities with advanced technology and large machine production, handicrafts rise suddenly, which must attribute to a profound motivation of the times. In the past, handicraft research mostly focused on the inheritance of handicraft skills from the perspective of intangible cultural heritage protection. Although the new trends in the development of handicrafts were occasionally discussed, the consumption of handicrafts by the urban new middle-class people and the rise of handicraft experience in the whole society haven’t been deeply analyzed yet. Today’s new changes in handicrafts not only reveal the huge impact of the important transformation of the current social environment in our country on traditional handicrafts, but also demonstrate the importance of handicrafts to the construction of a tasteful and subjective lifestyle for today’s Chinese people.

    Passing on the Publicity of Traditional Festivals in Modern Society:A Case Study of the Dragon Boat Festival in Liancheng Village,Fujian Province
    Zhong-yang JI, Jing WANG
    Journal of East China Normal University (Philosophy and Social Sciences)    2023, 55 (2): 102-111.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2023.02.009

    Traditional festivals such as the Lantern Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival are not only family festivals, but also events organized by clans and communities so that they have certain publicity. This publicity can effectively construct collective identity, enhance the density of social networks, and increase social capital, which is of great significance for rural unity and development. In modern society, the heritage of traditional festival culture is facing multiple crises, especially the publicity of traditional festivals is declining seriously. According to the current situation of the Dragon Boat Festival in Liancheng Village, Fujian Province, the publicity of traditional festivals can not only be inherited, but also be creatively transformed and developed in modern society. The key mechanism is, on the one hand, to constantly tell the legend, reconstruct the tradition and influence the form of collective memory. On the other hand, the modern form of traditional festivals should attach importance to the inheritance of the tradition that events are organized by folk organizations, and stimulate people’s consciousness of subjectivity and participation as much as possible.

    The Quality Integration of Culture and Tourism in the Process of Chinese Modernization:Theoretical Logic,Key Issues and Practical Approaches
    Xuegang Feng, Jing He
    J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (4): 134-146.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.04.011

    The high-quality integration of culture and tourism is not only a necessary requirement for building China into a country with a strong culture and a strong tourism sector, but also an inherent part of striving to achieve Chinese modernization. It is particularly necessary to discuss the theoretical relationship between the high-quality integration of culture and tourism and the process of Chinese modernization, clarify its scientific connotations, basic characteristics and practical constraints, and build a long-term promotion mechanism. We can see that Chinese modernization and the high-quality integration of culture and tourism mutually support each other in the theoretical framework of “strategic goals, essential connotations, and basic characteristics”. The high-quality integration of culture and tourism in the new era is characterized by supply-demand matching, urban-rural balance, mutual promotion, green efficiency, and openness to the outside world. The main challenges lie in the obstruction of culture and tourism supply-side reform, the imbalance of urban-rural integration of culture and tourism, the shallow integration of cultural and tourism industry, the effective management of cultural and tourism space, and the insufficient international influence of culture and tourism. On this new journey, we must enrich cultural and tourism products, promote balanced urban-rural development of culture and tourism, advance the deep integration of the cultural and tourism system, optimize the functions of cultural and tourism spaces, and enhance the international competitiveness of culture and tourism.

    Typical Problems and Legislative Improvement of the leniency System for Admitting Guilt and Accepting Punishment
    Xiaona Wei, Tiantian Xie
    J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (4): 111-121.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.04.009

    Since the comprehensive implementation of the system of leniency for admitting guilt and accepting punishment, the operation has been satisfactory overall. However, there have also emerged some representative issues. For instance, procuratorial organ lodges protests because court hasn’t adopted sentencing recommendations or notified sentencing adjustment recommendations; prosecutorial authorities use protests to deter defendants from appealing; and there are problems in the procedural arrangement of admitting guilt and accepting punishment during the trial stage. There are also differing views between court and procuratorial organ on these issues. These problems and the divergence in understanding are originated from the collision between the original litigation environment of official investigation and the dispute resolution-oriented institutional logic introduced by the leniency system for admitting guilt and accepting punishment. In the context of the revision of the Criminal Procedure Law, there are two solutions to mitigate or reduce these conflicts. First, we should design the negotiation as a fact-finding mechanism rather than a case disposition mechanism, which objectively requires the deletion of Article 201 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulating that the people’s courts “should generally” adopt the sentencing recommendations of the people’s procuratorates. Second, we should limit the application of the negotiation mechanism to cases that may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years.

    Optimizing the Benefits of the Basic Pension in National Pooling
    Kun FAN, Xin-yue TAN, Lin-yi QIAN, Wei WANG
    Journal of East China Normal University (Philosophy and Social Sciences)    2022, 54 (3): 172-183.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2022.03.017
    Abstract1377)   HTML44)    PDF(pc) (1172KB)(9490)       Save

    To deepen the reform of the basic pension in national pooling smoothly, it is crucial to alleviate system transition resistance and transition costs based on the consideration of “survival fairness” and “labor fairness”. This paper aims at minimizing the differences between welfare levels before and after the reform in order to realize this target. We established a model to describe pension benefits planning under national pooling and obtained one pension benefits scheme which can minimize system transition costs. By adopting actuarial methods, we find that the pension plan considering both average salaries and individual contributions can minimize system transition resistance and ensure the fairness of allocation of the pension after pooling. Furthermore, we also illustrate that the pension plan can ensure sustainable developments of pension accounts in the following 20 years, with the accurate supposition of proper fiscal subsidies, the number of people who pay the fees and the number of people who get the pension under the corresponding pension benefits scheme. Although it is more complicated compared with unified level in the whole country, the proposed scheme has more advantages. It can not only realize the redistribution of the income of basic pension, but also take workers’ payment contribution into consideration, and alleviate system transition resistance. Therefore, it can provide a reference for the national social pension system reform.

    On the Evolution and Spatiotemporal Characteristics of the Urban Spatial Morphology of Modern Shanghai (1843-1949)
    Yong Wan, Zhenyu Mou
    J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (1): 42-52.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.01.005

    The Urban spatial morphology of a city comprehensively reflects its generation, growth, form, structure, function and development. An in-depth analysis of a variety of historical documents and maps shows that the spatial morphological evolution of Shanghai from 1843 to 1949 can be divided into six distinct stages: “inner and outer cities”, “new and old cities”, “belt city”, “three-dimensional city”, “block city” and “main and secondary cities”. The spatiotemporal characteristics of the evolution of modern Shanghai’s urban spatial morphology reveal the institutional, economic and cultural characteristics of the city in different historical periods, which can be summarized as: river-oriented axis, all the way to the sea; circle development, towards openness; diversified development, heterogeneous interweaving. Clarifying the historical evolution of this urban spatial morphology will help us to explore the richer historical and cultural connotations of the city and grasp the direction and main trend of the development and improvement of urban spatial morphology in the future.

    Restoration Study on the Reading Method and Meaning of the Original Linear Text of The Zhou Book of Changes
    FU Hui-sheng
    Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph    2013, 45 (4): 1-14.  
    Abstract1389)   HTML39)    PDF(pc) (1709KB)(8842)       Save
    Confucius, in his understanding of The Zhou Book of Changes, took the linear text as the source domain to elaborate its philosophy, while the linear text was the target domain of the sixty-four hexagram system as the source domain. Therefore, the linear text became a double face mirror. After Confucius, people continued his way of elaboration, and formulated “the three two-line reading model” in The Appendices to The Zhou Book of Changes. Therefore, the original “two three-line reading model” as the historian-sorcerer’s method went into oblivion, and the original textural meanings became vague and fragmental. The later exposition and the annotation of the linear text up to now have long been unable to be close and appropriate to the original. In the perspective of history, before the sixties of the twentieth century, it was unimaginable to restore the original reading model and the textual meaning, even though many scholars tried hard. Now the development of linguistic philosophy and linguistics, especially the philosophy in the flesh and the cognitive linguistics, makes it possible for us to apply these knowledge and methods to the archaeological reading and study of the original text. Possibly some words in the text were revised or added for omissions in the past, but on the whole, the original method and meaning of the linear text have been basically restored through four steps: the two-trigram structure, vertical and horizontal image lines, dynamic holistic-partial integrated analysis and cultural and thinking characteristic analysis. The restored linear text demonstrates the three characteristics recorded in The Zuo’s Commentary on The Spring and Autumn Annals: changing images, Ji Dan’s virtue and the ideological foundation of hegemony of the Zhou Dynasty.

    Unraveling the Mystery of the Classification of Words:The Research Trajectory from Ancient Greek Grammar to Universal Grammar
    Baojia Li
    Journal of East China Normal University (Philosophy and Social Sciences)    2024, 56 (6): 80-94.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2024.06.007

    This paper attempts to trace the trajectory of research on “parts of speech” (λ?γου μ?ρη) from ancient Greek grammar to universal grammar, based as much as possible on Western original texts. After 250 years of successive efforts by three schools of thought, the Greek word classes have evolved from three divisions, four divisions, and five divisions to six divisions, ultimately forming a system of eight divisions. Although Greek word class templates were introduced, Latin word classes went through more than 300 years from four to eight. Afterwards, speculative grammar adopted an overall eight divisions. Universal grammar has nine divisions, five divisions (indicating the hierarchical relationship between nouns, adjectives, and verbs), four divisions, eight divisions (indicating the independence of adjectives), and so on. The results of literature review and sorting indicate that meaning or signifying is the cognitive essence of word classes, while form and function are all recognition methods based on analogy. We should maintain an open attitude towards the classification of word classes, as different systems can coexist. The division of word classes and the analysis of sentence components can coexist without excluding relative mapping. The coordination methods between word classes and sentence components are diverse.

    An Alternative Philosophical Interpretation Concerning AI
    Mao-tang DAI, Hong-mei Zhao
    Journal of East China Normal University (Philosophy and Social Sciences)    2023, 55 (5): 13-24.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2023.05.003

    As to overcoming the imperfection of human beings, technology is the most direct and useful instrument which can meet the goal, so it is positive in this sense. If AI is treated only as technology, it will be regarded as an instrument which meets some goal, only a machine apparatus with high intelligence and a technological unit at higher and stronger level, which exhibits extraordinary technological advantage. However, logically speaking, the intelligence level of AI is impossible to be higher than that of human beings. Technology is a sword with double blades, with its positivity and negativity. While the technology of AI is “overcoming” the imperfection of human beings, new imperfection of human beings will be lighted, which will harm the dignity of human beings and makes man worry about future. The more AI technology wants to help human beings embrace and win “future”, the more the man will lose some kind of ability and even “the future” when he gets the help. The seed of alienation is hidden in the instrumental nature of technology. The most prominent expression of the negative side of technology in this point is that the technology which is developed by human hands will bring the growing-up of human beings into the fate of self-negation. The AI is the metaphor of the life of Sisyphus: the significance and victory of the life is exhibited by the way of self-negation.

    Internationalization is an important driving force for the ongoing expansion of “Specialized, Special New” firms. Based on case studies of Uniview, Jinzhou, and SinoHyTec, we discover that industry maturity level, differences in domestic and international demand, and firm-specific technological capabilities all influence initial path choices for internationalization, as explained by the combination of the contingency theory and Ansoff matrix. When the industry is mature, the disparities between domestic and international demand are modest, and the firm has a technological advantage, the firm prioritizes accessing international new markets with current goods, following the “market development” path. When the industry is mature, the differences in domestic and international demands are significant, and the firm is well endowed with technology but mismatched with international market demand, it needs to develop new products before going international, adopting the “product development” path. When the firm operates in an emerging industry with untapped domestic and international demands and needs to leverage global knowledge and resources to establish technological capabilities, a global R&D network becomes paramount, and the “technology cooperation” path should be adopted. As internationalization progresses, contingency factors may change, and internationalization paths will be dynamically modified.
