The increasing aging of the population and the transformation of family structure has led to great changes in the marriage types and family conditions of the elderly population in China.Clarifying the changes in the marriage and family conditions of the elderly group has a very important role in actively and successfully coping with the aging population.Based on the data of three national population censuses from 2000 to 2020, the paper analyzes the changes of marriage types and family status of the elderly, and finds that on the whole, the number of marriages of the elderly and the number of households with elderly people are increasing and that from the perspective of marriage composition, the number of spouses and divorce rate of the elderly population are increasing, and the widowhood rate is decreasing.In terms of family structure, the proportion of households with one person aged 60 or above is decreasing, while the proportion of households with more than one person aged 60 or above is increasing.Because the marriage and family of the elderly have a great impact on their physical and mental health, social stability and family care, it is necessary to pay attention to the change of the marital status of the elderly, enrich and improve the daily life of the elderly, actively improve the quality of marriage of the elderly, and build a healthy and friendly aging society.

The community is the basic unit of social governance, closely related to the daily lives of the people, serving as an important bridge connecting society, government, and families, as well as a crucial platform for elderly care and childcare services.This paper formulates a framework for the revitalization of elderly and child-friendly communities in China, based on the characteristics and needs of these two groups, as well as the connotation of community revitalization and the five major community development orientations of “people, culture, environment, industry, and scenery.” Additionally, it presents the practical challenges faced in community revitalization, including the loss of initiative and the virtualization of social participation among people, cultural disconnection and limited exploration of community culture, insufficient attention to the ecological environment and a lack of a perspective relevant to the elderly and the young from a geographical standpoint, inadequate and unprofessional supply, and the lack of facilities suitable for the elderly and the young in terms of scene.Finally, this paper presents a pathway for the revitalization of elderly and child-friendly communities, including the establishment of a community decision-making system to promote the participation of multiple actors, the exploration and nurturing of community culture to encourage inter-generational interaction, the creation of a livable green ecological space and natural landscapes, and the construction of a platform to achieve precise adaptation by combining online and offline resources, facilities for the elderly and the young, as well as the integration of inter-generational scenes.

With Chinese social transformation and rapid economic development, migration of unmarried young people is becoming more and more common, causing the geographical expansion of the intermarriage circle.Under the double repulsive force of the population migration and the geographical intermarriage circle expansion,the traditional family pension model in rural areas has been strongly impacted.On the one hand, because of the incompleteness of rural population flow,the whole family of the outflow area is divided into many scattered families.In this process, out of rational decision-making to maximize the interests of the family,the old are usually left behind to guard the home front,rural traditional family endowment foundation has shaken. On the other hand, with a large number of rural unmarried young people moving out and choosing a spouse,the geographic marriage circle expands. Whether it is a distant marriage of a local woman or an out-of-town marriage of a local man, the inter-generational support function of rural youth and their parents tends to weaken after marriage, and rural old-age care has met new challenges.Therefore, some rural families adopt the positive coping strategy of“Inter-generational emotional solidarity—intra-generational exchange of interests”to adjust.It is of great social practical significance for rural families to go out and provide for the aged.

The Communist Party of China (CPC) in the new era has taken the cultural mission bravely, and continuously promoted the innovation of the theory and practice of socialist cultural construction with Chinese characteristics, among which the consolidation of cultural subjectivity with “two combinations” effectively responds to and solves the “ancient and modern questions”, “Chinese and foreign questions”, and “multiple questions” of culture. The “two combinations” is an important initiative to consolidate cultural subjectivity and effectively respond to and solve the “ancient and modern questions”, “Chinese and foreign questions”, and “multiple questions” of culture. Firstly, the “two combinations” point out the source power of consolidating cultural subjectivity in the new era. Secondly, the five aspects of cultural self-awareness, cultural self-confidence, cultural self-reflection, cultural self-activity and cultural self-improvement have built up an internal system for consolidating cultural subjectivity in the new era. Finally, the unity of cultural righteousness and cultural innovation, the unity of civilization exchanges and civilization mutual learning, and the unity of cultural leadership and cultural popularity have been established.

As a young Hegelian, Feuerbach considered the natural attributes of human beings and recognized that religion is about human beings. Thus, he transcended idealism and moved towards materialism. However, Feuerbach's humanism is a naive materialism, and his critique of religion is not thorough enough. He also lacks an examination of the social and practical essence of human nature. Marx realized that the essence of human beings is the sum of all social relations moving from an abstract philosophical man to a concrete real man. Man exists in certain social relations, and his practical activities have significant implications for social development. Thus, a scientific understanding of human nature is achieved. By analyzing Marx's concept of human nature and its critique and transcendence of Feuerbach's humanism, we can better understand and clarify Marx's theory of human nature and pay more attention to human beings themselves.

The paper takes “Black Myth: Wukong” as an example by, focusing on the theme of video games promoting cultural globalization and exploring the logical chain and achievement path of cross-cultural communication with video games as a new digital medium and information carrier. Players use algorithm experience to access games, and the path from game to culture goes through three levels: symbol layer, narrative layer, and cultural layer. Players' mentality and cognition also rise from “fun games” to “beautiful stories” and then to explore and recognize the cultural values hidden behind the stories. The study provides theoretical support for research in the field of video games and emphasizes the important attributes of video games beyond entertainment and profitability, creating new possibilities and avenues for people to understand “worldliness” in the context of postmodernism.

The administrative burden caused by formalism and bureaucracy is an urgent problem to be solved at the grassroots level, and the research on grassroots burden reduction in China is visually analyzed with the help of CiteSpace. The results show that the research on grassroots burden reduction has increased from year by year to a flat trend, the cooperation of high-yield authors is not close enough, the cooperation group has not yet been truly formed, and that the research institutions have regional differences.The research hotspots focus on the dimensions of “formalism” and “grassroots burden”.In the initial stage, the research focuses on the interpretation of the theoretical value of grassroots burden reduction, the development stage focuses on the analysis of the practical mechanism, and the deepening stage focuses on the model refinement combining theory and practice.Based on this, the research on grassroots burden reduction should continue to deepen the exploration and form a holistic academic group.The research needs to shift from static phenomenon description to dynamic mechanism explanation, from macro theoretical evaluation to micro practical exploration, and from fragmented case analysis to systematic theoretical construction, in order to provide a useful reference for theoretical innovation and practical improvement of grassroots burden reduction.

The modernization of the higher education governance system is the inevitable path for high-quality development and the internal driving force for promoting a powerful country in education. In the digital and intelligent era, the governance logic has shifted in ten dimensions across five aspects, namely value concepts, organizational systems, subject objects, spatial structures, and methods. It also faces practical difficulties such as the supremacy of technological value, an imperfect institutional system, a crisis of subjectivity, technological out-of-control, and data ethics. To promote the modernization of the higher education governance system, we can transcend instrumental values and build a people-oriented value orientation, weed through the old to bring forth the new and establish a scientific and complete institutional system, establish human subjectivity and strengthen the main body's responsibility, improve infrastructure construction and promote technological empowerment, and optimize algorithms and technological governance, and shift from “governance by technology” to “good governance”.

The discipline of ideological and political education is a major achievement of ideological and political education formed by combining Marxist theory and Chinese practice, and is a great summary of the revolution, construction, reform and development of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in the field of ideological and political work. Looking back at the development of the discipline of ideological and political education over the past 40 years, the discipline of ideological and political education has realized a leapfrog development from unitary to diversified, from experience to theory, and from concept to science. In this paper, 1128 articles related to the discipline of ideological and political education in “China Knowledge Network (CNKI)” are andyzed by using Cite Space software, and found that the system of the discipline of ideological and political education has improved greatly, the academic results are fruitful, the quality of the articles issued by the research authors and institutions is high, and the hot spots of research have evolved from the concept of “discussion” to “discipline.” The research hot spots have evolved from the initial conceptualization to the research of “disciplinary regularity” and “three-pronged parenting”, and gradually formed a new form of discipline that consciously builds up the discipline in line with the era of digital intelligence. In the future, the discipline of ideological and political education needs to be based on the development of the times and the needs of society, further define the positioning and attributes of the discipline of ideological and political education,and strengthen disciplinary regularity research and disciplinary cross-disciplinary research, so as to better implement the fundamental task of cultivating morality and promoting the development of the discipline of ideological and political education and to realize the development of high-quality development.

The level of teacher-student interaction in smart classrooms progressively advances through three levels: operational interaction, cognitive interaction, and creative interaction. In practical teaching, cognitive interaction, especially creative interaction, is relatively rare. Based on the research findings of the Flanders Interaction Analysis System (FIAS) and the Information Technology-Based Interaction Analysis System (ITIAS), combined with the functional characteristics of teacher-student interaction in smart classrooms, improvements have been made to the existing coding system, leading to the design of an analysis system for teacher-student interaction in smart classrooms. Using this system, a teaching video from a smart classroom was coded and analyzed. The research results indicate that this analysis system can accurately reflect the teacher-student interaction in the classroom, providing teachers with not only quantitative data on teacher-student interaction but also revealing patterns and trends of such interaction. Furthermore, the system aids teachers in identifying and improving instructional deficiencies, thereby promoting their professional development.
