The historical evolution of Mongolia's Khoton people is studied by analyzing the ethnonym 'Khoton' through multilingual sources to systematically investigate its etymology and the construction of Khoton identity. The results demonstrate that demographic relocations under the Dzungar Khanate and religious boundary-making practices are pivotal in the historical articulation of Khoton ethnicity. During Mongolia's modern nation-state building, the ethnonym 'Khoton' undergoes a gradual transition from exonym to autonym through processes of cultural integration and identity reconstruction. This transformation reveals that the delineation of ethnic identity involves both self-perception construction and external sociopolitical shaping, ultimately emerging as a dialectical negotiation through historical intergroup dynamics between the in-group and out-group.

In the 19th century, Central Asian indigenous medicine, as a branch of Greco-Islamic medicine, integrated diverse civilizations such as ancient Greek, Persian, and Indian traditions. Through Islamization and synthesis, the medicine was characterized with inheritance through familial transmission and classical textual study by incorporating multilingual literature and natural medicinal practices. The evolutionary trajectory underscores how socio-cultural forces shape medical traditions, offering fresh perspectives and case studies for contemporary socio-cultural research. This contributes to a deeper understanding of the holistic and complex nature of societal cultures.

The internal logic of taking Marxism as the guiding position in the field of ideology is an intact system in which the relations among various elements are dialectical. As a fact, theoretical logic is the premise, historical logic is the basics, struggle logic is the key, and practical logic is the main idea. In the new era, to deep understand and accurately grasp those logic will strengthen the guiding position of Marxism in the field of ideology and ensure the political belief of Marxist for Chinese Communists Party. Ensuring the political direction of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics to prevent from “changing the flag” is of great theoretical and practical significance.

Ecological civilization, both a product of human civilization at a certain historical stage and an inherent requirement for achieving Chinese-style modernization characterized by harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, represents a new stage in the development of industrial civilization, being crucial to the future destiny and sustainable development of nations and ethnic groups. Ecological civilization and modernization are integral components of the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Although they differ in nature, scope, and developmental trajectories, their guiding theories exhibit a profound coupling. This coupling is fundamentally rooted in the dialectical interaction between productive forces and ecological relations, manifesting in three dimensions: a social coupling from the reconciliation between humans and nature to their harmonious symbiosis, an economic coupling from natural productivity to environmental productivity, and a political coupling from critiques of capitalism to the institutional framework of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The mining and smelting of copper mines in Yunnan during the Qing Dynasty was the largest and most influential single development activity in the history of the southwestern border, and a large number of mining documents were also preserved. Through these documents, the process of copper mining and metallurgy being a refined division of labor and strict management based on large-scale artificial aggregation, combined with a large amount of knowledge, technology, and various material resources can be found. If the key driving force behind the origin of civilization and nation is the deepening and expansion of social division of labor, then at the eve of the birth of civilization, only copper mining and metallurgy can provide sufficient depth and scale of social division of labor. During the Qing Dynasty, most of the copper mining areas in Yunnan were still under the rule of chieftains who had a backward civilization. Through more than a hundred years of prosperous copper mining development, the areas large copper factories located have all leaped into civilized areas on par with the mainland.From this perspective, a more detailed and vivid explanation can be obtained as to why the Bronze Age was generally synchronized with the origins of civilization and nations.

The philanthropic tradition inherent in the copper merchants’ culture of Huize possesses unique historical value and cultural significance.Relying on the prosperity of the copper merchant economy, Huize established a four-fold charitable network comprising the government, the local community, industry, and guild halls during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Huize County has demonstrated both the ethical spirit of “benefiting society through commerce” and the logic behind the construction of a “local community” through philanthropic practices such as the establishment of charitable schools, poverty relief, and local development. The philanthropic activities of Huize’s copper merchant culture have both carried forward the traditional Chinese concepts of charity.Driven by commercial economy, they also developed unique organizational models and practical approaches.With the passage of time, traditional forms of philanthropy have undergone modern transformation and reorganization, providing valuable historical references for the development of contemporary public welfare.

Digital empowerment of high-quality agricultural development is an important starting point for the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. Based on the five core connotations of high-quality agricultural development of “innovation, coordination, green, open and sharing”, an indicator system is constructed. Principal component analysis and panel data analysis are adopted to draw the following conclusions: (1) the digital economy can significantly promote the high-quality development of agriculture through industrial value-added, digitalization level, scientific and technological development, and communication popularization; and (2) the digital economy can promote the high-quality development of agriculture through the improvement of the level of economic development. In the long run, digital economy enabling high-quality agricultural development needs to focus on the following five aspects: strengthening the construction of rural network communication facilities; improving the level of rural data center construction; cultivating high-level digital talents in rural areas; Fourth, the use of the government and the market “two hands” to promote the digital transformation of agricultural enterprises; and using the superior resources of the East to help the deep integration of the digital and agricultural industries in the west.

Under the strategy of rural revitalization, college students from “second-generation farming” families are considered a crucial group for driving rural entrepreneurship due to their deep familiarity with rural life and natural alignment with traditional rural values. However, the proportion of such students returning to their hometowns to start businesses remains relatively low, constrained by factors such as limited self-awareness, insufficient knowledge, and deeply rooted traditional beliefs. A survey of college students with farming backgrounds reveals that personal factors, family influence, rural environmental challenges, and policy limitations are significant barriers to their entrepreneurial endeavors. Case studies of successful entrepreneurial efforts among this group highlight that a strong emotional connection to their hometown serves as a key driver in overcoming challenges and reducing perceived entrepreneurial risks. Therefore, it is essential to not only enhance their entrepreneurial competencies and improve the rural entrepreneurial environment but also to cultivate and strengthen their sense of attachment to their hometowns. This dual strategy can effectively encourage “second-generation farming” college students to return to rural areas, contribute to rural revitalization, and advance sustainable development in these communities.

Empowering the professional development of university teachers with the spirit of educators is essential for building a strong country in education. Anchoring the spirit of educators can empower the professional development of university teachers, and explain its logical basis from the perspectives of fundamental philosophical categories such as epistemology, ontology, and praxis. The spirit of educators empowers the professional development of university teachers, which is a generative and systematic process that forms the operational mechanisms of cognition, will, emotion, and practice at the natural level. To this end, establishing a coordinated thinking concept, constructing diverse subject participation, and optimizing a scientific evaluation system should be the practical action direction for educators to empower the professional development of university teachers.
