Abstract: In ancient China, traditional costumes have an important function of marking the identity of the noble and commoner status hierarchy. Before modern times, the shape, fabric, and color of folk women's clothing were not clearly defined, but they were subject to folklore and had many taboos. The wives of ministers or members of royalty were expected to comport themselves according to their husbands' official status and were forbidden from breaking any restrictions. But in the visual archives of the last feudal dynasty of ancient China, we have astonishing discoveries about the new image of Chinese women in the Qing Dynasty — Artworks of Qing Dynasty women in armor, their historical background, and artistic qualities bring us a lot of unprecedented inspiration and reflection. Based on the textual research on the hierarchical system of armor in the Qing Dynasty, combined with the background of national culture, this paper analyzes that the appearance of the image of female armor in the Qing Dynasty is a politicized performance of the ruling class, and its essence is still the projection of the aesthetic interest of feudal patriarchy.

They have a unique concept of "ipulaksanai," which emphasizes the interconnectedness of all human beings and a moderate and accepting view towards these topics. This serves as an inspiration for others in Indonesia facing a shift towards increasing conservatism, especially regarding sexual morals, to show more respect and respect for diverse attitudes towards love, life, sexuality, marriage, and LGBT issues. The Maanyan concept of "ipulaksanai" holds a similar view with the Indonesia philosophy of Unity in Diversity, different but one. This article is based on qualitative research conducted in 2019 with 14 informants, including traditional Dayak Maanyan figures, Kaharingan ritual leaders, Christian religious leaders, and representatives of the Maanyan community. The tribe believes in anti-violence and reconciliation and has a scapegoat mechanism in place to deal with sexual moral violations. The article shows how the tribe values democratic space regarding amorous and sexual initiatives and encourages people to ease the burden of shame. PubDate: Tue, 07 Mar 2023 07:50:31 +000
Abstract: The goal of this study is to determine whether playing extracurricular educational games increases third-grade primary children's academic achievement levels in Jordan. The study sample includes 56 male and female students (28 male and 28 female) from Madaba Governorate's Al-Khansaa Secondary Comprehensive School for Girls. A two-group quasi-experimental design is used, with an experimental group and a control group. An achievement test, three educational games, and resources relating to three topics of supplication, travel etiquette, and playing etiquette, are produced and used by the researcher. The experimental group is taught these concepts through educational games in the schoolyard, while the control group receives traditional classroom instruction. SPSS software is used to conduct a statistical analysis. The achievement test results for the control and experimental groups do not indicate any statistically significant (α≤0.05) differences. The results reveal no statistically significant (α≤0.05) gender-related variations in the experimental group's level of success. The researchers suggest that Islamic education sessions might be designed to avoid the characteristic inertia, using extracurricular educational games. PubDate: Sat, 04 Mar 2023 05:17:38 +000

Abstract: Taking the interaction between agricultural guidelines of the Mongol regime in China and textile handicraft in the 13th and 14th centuries as the main clue, this article analyzes the historical background of the policies of restoring and promoting agricultural production in the early Yuan Dynasty, reviews the policy content relevant to the planting or breeding of fiber raw materials for textile handicraft, and discusses the role of the relevant policies in promoting textile production and technological progress in the Yuan Dynasty. Studies have revealed that the guidelines adopted by the Yuan authority to promote the production and supply of textile raw materials such as ramie, silk and cotton were deeply influenced by traditional Chinese agricultural civilization，although the traditions of nomadic civilization were still reflected in these policies. Guidelines, while increasing the variety and quantity of levy in the Yuan Dynasty, served to maintain the rule of the Mongol regime and to consolidate the privileges of the nobility. Objectively, those guidelines also promoted the evolution of textile techniques at that time. PubDate: Fri, 17 Feb 2023 11:30:49 +000
Abstract: This paper reviews the mechanism of income inequality affecting residents' health, and proposes a new measurement method to decompose the micro mechanism and macro effect of income inequality affecting residents' health. Based on the provincial data onto 1990, 2000 and 2010, an empirical analysis using the multi-period mixed cross-sectional data (Pool Data) model shows that income inequality has a significant negative impact on health in China. The method constructed in this paper is used to decompose the contribution rate of macro effect and individual effect. The results show that the negative impact of macro effect accounts for 27.7%, while the impact of micro effect accounts for 72.3%. With the continuous improvement on GDP per capital in China, the impact of macro effect of income gaps between life expectancy is getting smaller and smaller. The macro effect contribution rate decreases year by year. Therefore, on the one hand, it is necessary to reduce income inequality, but also to take targeted measures to reduce the negative impact of income inequality on individual health.

Abstract: From the medieval to the early modern periods, various new techniques of dyeing and embroidery and correlative decorative patterns on textiles with local characteristics had been developed in Japan, some of which could be witnessed on the silks from the middle to late Ming dynasty, leading to limited influences on the silk art of the Ming and Qing dynasties. This paper classifies a group of unearthed and handed down silks with similar patterns and compositions from the middle to late Ming dynasty and makes comparisons with related decorative arts from both China and Japan, to summarize corresponding adoption and application of Japanese textile patterns by Ming silks. It also explores the production and application of Ming silks that imitated Japanese textiles. PubDate: Tue, 14 Feb 2023 12:26:54 +000
Abstract: With the continuous development of human society, the ecological environment has been seriously damaged. It is therefore of vital significance to examine the ecological environmental protection and ecological culture, especially in some indigenous and border regions with rich natural resources. This paper analyses the problems faced by the development of ecological culture in Xishuangbanna Dai region of Yunnan from the perspective of the “Marxist view of nature” and explores its innovative and sustainable development paths. The article begins with an overview of the “Marxist view of nature”, followed by an explanation of the necessity of ecological culture construction in Xishuangbanna Dai region. It then provides an in-depth analysis of the ecological problems and concludes with responding suggestions and solutions. This study not only helps to understand the ecological culture and civilisation of ethnic minority groups and their ecological environment status quo, but also provides implications and theoretical value to the construction of global ecological culture and ecological civilisation.
