    Xi Jinping's important exposition on the study of the“Four Histories”is the latest requirement for the Sinicization of Marxism and an important guarantee for advancing the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasizes that the study and implementation of the Party's innovative theory should be the top priority of ideological arming and should be combined with the study of the Party history, the history of New China, the history of reform and opening up, and the history of socialist development. The study of the“Four Histories”has made us realize that the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the dominant practical logic running through the“Four Histories”, that the“Four Histories”is the historical logic formed by the four self-confidences, and that the“Four Histories”contains the law of the Communist Party's governance, the law of socialist construction and the law of social development of human being. A profound understanding of the spiritual essence of Xi Jinping's important exposition on the study of the“four histories”lies in being truly aware of: knowing history and loving the Party, studying history and understanding“Tao”, and knowing history and being wise.

    In recent years, the household assets of the residents in China are continuously increasing, while the downturn of their consumption has continued. Starting from the macro-perspective, this paper firstly puts consumers' confidence into the asset-consumption model to analyze the impact of consumers' confidence and asset wealth on residents' consumption behavior. The findings show that consumers' confidence can turn the impact of financial asset wealth on the total consumption of urban residents from negative inhibition into positive promotion, however, it will strengthen the negative inhibitory effect of housing wealth on the total consumption of urban residents; consumers' confidence and asset wealth have different effects on different consumption items. Then, based on the theory of factor market, it makes a further analysis from the perspective of household asset allocation at the micro level. The findings indicate that the more distorted the household asset allocation structure is, i.e., the higher the proportion of real estate is, the more disadvantages to household consumption. Therefore, to speed up the land factor marketization reform and to promote the development of asset market can fundamentally eliminate the factors leading to the rising of housing prices, improve the structure of household asset allocation, stabilize the economy and create the fine expectation for the residents, and improve the residents' consumption level.

    The successful transformation of the driving energy for China's economic development requires not only the dominant role of innovation driving played by enterprises, but also the coordinated efforts of market mechanism and government intervention. Taking the A share listed companies from 2007 to 2017 as the research objects, this paper investigates the relationship among market driving, innovation efficiency (IE) and corporate risk-taking(CRT). The empirical results show that IE can provide resource support for CRT based on competitive advantage effect and signal transmission effect. The above-mentioned effects are more significant in the enterprises located in the areas with higher degree of marketization. Further research shows that in regions with lower degree of marketization, it is more necessary for“activist government”to play a guiding role to overcome market failures. Compared with the non-innovation subsidy, the innovation subsidy plays a more prominent guiding role. Based on this, considerations should be given to the collaborative efforts of the“activist government”while improving continuously the market mechanism. The corporate internal innovation management should be improved with efficiency as the orientation, at the same time, the fair competition among the enterprises should be promoted with fair supervision.

    The mobile technology has accelerated the fusion of the borders between work and family. With the changes of family structure of the working couples, work-family integration has become a new hot topic in the research field of the positive side of work and family roles. However, the definition and the measurement of work-family integration are still at the starting stage. In view of this, this study proposes the definition of work-family integration and analyzes the multiple connotations of work-family integration at planning and behavioral levels. Through the pretest of 69 individual samples and the large-scale sample questionnaire survey of 245 employees in Chinese enterprises, this study also develops the three dimension measurement tools for work-family integration, which opens up a new path for the positive research of work-family interface.

    Social welfare attitudes are the barometer of a society, which is the frontier field of the research of social policy. By focusing on the development of the researches of social welfare attitudes since the 1990s, this paper clarifies the main topics of the researches of social welfare attitudes as follows: the diversity of social welfare attitudes, the group heterogeneity of social welfare attitudes, and the correspondence between social welfare attitudes and welfare regimes. It also summarizes the two changes in the perspective and the method of the researches of social welfare attitudes, i.e., the institutional perspective turns to the risk perspective, making it become more diversified and richer; the qualitative approach is rising, which tries to explain the deeper reasons of social welfare attitudes. In the future, to further explain the formation mechanism and feedback path of social welfare attitudes and to grasp the dynamic changes between social welfare attitudes and policies will become a new research direction for the research of social welfare attitudes.

    To promote the integration of the medical insurance systems is the basic way to ensure the residents' equal rights of health, to realize the fairness of the basic medical insurance, and to attain the sustainable development. It is also the inexorable trend of the development of the basic medical insurance in China. It has been more than ten years since the integration of the three kinds of medical insurances was implemented in Dongguan. The new system has been running smoothly and is achieving remarkable success. Based on the data of the twenty year development of the basic medical insurance system in Dongguan and the statistical yearbook, this paper analyzes the practical experiences of Dongguan's integration of the three kings of medical insurances from the aspects of economic development, population structure and system design; then it puts forward the principles and policy suggestions for the integration of the basic medical insurance systems. The integration of the basic medical insurances in China should be realized gradually under the principles of suiting measures to local conditions, making differential sharing of financial subsidies, paying attention to fairness and conforming to“Pareto improvement”, by transiting from the integration of the two kinds of basic medical insurances into the integration of the three basic medical insurances and gradually achieving the overall planning at the provincial level, a unified national health insurance system will finally be established.

    Guided by the new development concept, this paper constructs the evaluation index system of China's agricultural high-quality development, which includes the five basic dimensions of “innovation, coordination, greenness, opening up and sharing”, so as to conduct a measurement and regional comparison of the level of agricultural high-quality development in China and in each province from 2013 to 2017. It also employs the exploratory spatial data analyzing method to analyze the comprehensive index of agricultural high-quality development and the spatial distribution characteristics of its secondary indexes. The results show that the overall agricultural high-quality development level in China presents a rising trend, while“opening up”and“innovation”are the weak links. The agricultural high-quality development comprehensive index and the secondary indexes of “innovation”, “coordination”,“opening up”and“sharing”are manifested as“Higher in the East and Lower in the West”, while the index of“greenness”is“Higher in the West and Lower in the East”. The gap between the four regions is narrowing gradually. There are significant differences in the high-quality development level among the provinces, and there are advantages and disadvantages which match with the regional characteristics. The agricultural high-quality development comprehensive index and its secondary indexes show the clustering characteristics at different degrees in space, which is mainly manifested in the dual distribution mode of“high-high”and“low-low”. We should take innovation as the core driving force and the opening up and cooperation as the path to further deepen the agricultural supply-side structural reform, and we should plan the agricultural high-quality development direction of each region according to the local conditions.

    In the context of industrial transfer, the manufacturing industries in the Pearl River Delta are continuously moving into the inland rural areas. The inland-moving enterprises are faced with not only the migrant workers, but also the army of left-behind informal labor force. The priority of the informal labor force is family reproduction and the reproduction of their social relations, which means that their time is fragmented, and the formal factory management system is difficult to restrict them effectively. Based on this, this paper takes the inland-moving factories located at Q township of W county in Jiangxi province as examples to study the practical experience of how the inland-moving manufacturers can effectively manage this army of informal labor force. The findings show that in the aspect of labor recruitment, the inland-moving factories adopt an informal labor employment strategy by relying on the social network of acquaintance for recruiting. In the aspect of labor supervision, the inland-moving factories embed their production activities in the workers' daily lives, which can integrate the workers' fragmented time with their flexible management strategies. In handling the labor disputes, these inland-moving enterprises also utilize the resources of rural governance to resolve the contradictions. To embed the business production into the village community and workers' daily life is the strategy that the inland-moving enterprises used to reduce their management costs, and this kind of embedding management might bring about a new type of labor-capital relationship.

    The music of the Central Soviet Area is rooted in the red soil and grew up in the revolutionary struggle. It adheres to the theme of revolutionary works, the core of class value, and the technique of original creation. Among the proletarian revolutionary literatures and arts, the music of the Central Soviet Area has forged the red faith in the Soviet Area, mobilized the masses of workers, peasants and soldiers, and praised the heroes of the Soviet Area. The music of the Central Soviet Area in the new era has the red genes for the prosperity of advanced culture, spreading the red history with the righteous songs, and holding the value of the times by providing the spiritual food of the red culture. The music of the Central Soviet Area can play a powerful spiritual leading role in strengthening the national cultural confidence and prospering the socialist cultural undertakings with Chinese characteristics.

    Because of the risk and function appropriateness, social co-governance possesses the theoretical foundation to intervene in public crisis. The cultivation of shared governance during the modernization process of rule of law and governance also lays the foundation for the overall integration of social governance resources in the emergency. Since the outbreak of Covid-19, the co-governance mirror image under the ternary structure of“government-market-society”has displayed different natural endowment of governance not like the before. In the context of the co-governance led by the rule of law, the establishment of such principles as“law-based emergency”, empowerment and relative liability can effectively alleviate the conflicts between public and private orders triggered by emergency measures for public crisis. By relying on the multiple generation of the information interaction mechanism, social co-governance has become the system carrier of precise decision making and socialized supervision. The development of social co-governance in the future public crisis should be based on the normative balance of empowerment and power restriction. Through the empowerment to the main body during the full process, the system transformation of social co-governance from“subjective awakening”to“incentive compatibility”can be achieved. With the help of effective evaluation of rule of law, the responsiveness of legal control in the social co-governance can be strengthened.

    Under the background of the continuous integration between algorithm and finance, the application of algorithm in the financial sector not only stretches the whole financial service chain, but part of the financial transactions is actually placed at the design and development stage of the algorithm, thereby the trust objects of financial consumers are changed. And it also brings the issues concerning the expansion of the traditional fiduciary duties in the financial sector and the expansion boundary. Faced with the financial innovations brought by scientific and technological changes, on the one hand, the intervention factors of algorithmic decision-making should be fully considered, the principle of penetration should be combined to further clarify the subject of responsibility of the fiduciary duty, and the relative legal accountability mechanism should be improved; on the other hand, it is necessary to combine the commonness and individuality of algorithmic governance in the financial field, and on the premise of clarifying the general governance thoughts, the specific contents and responsibility assignments of the fiduciary duties should be constructed differently according to the different models of financial business and the different roles of the main bodies.

    Among the 904 provisions of 23 provincial laws on wildlife protection, the frequency of compulsory words is 1084, which is more than 10 times of the frequency of the encouraging words and the words concerning rights. The lack of reward provisions leads to the imbalance of rights and obligations of the protection subjects. At the same time, the local legislative provisions repeat the contents of the national legislations, they even repeat each other, resulting in the lack of local characteristics and creativity. Before the outbreak of COVID-19, more than a quarter of provincial legislations had no provisions concerning epidemics. The optimization path lies in the necessary review before legislation and the quality and effect evaluation after legislation. The incentive provisions should be increased to no less than 10%. Referring to the “Lacey Act” of the United States, the reward amount for whistleblowers should adopt the mode of deducting a percentage from the law enforcement income plus the minimum amount of guarantee. The innovative provisions in the local legislation, such as listing the catering service departments as the protected functional department, the quarantine before releasing the collected wild animals, the supporting prosecution and the prosecution system of the protection competent departments, and the whistleblower reward system can all be used for reference in the revision of the Wildlife Protection Law.
