    All societies are closely connected with the development issues,which usually are inseparable from the problem of inequality.Development is not only related to the gap between the rich and the poor of the world,but also has a significant impact on the economic prospects of a country or a region,such as the impact on game rules of formal economy and informal economy in the social life of the citizens.For future development,scholars have proposed new concepts that are beyond development idea and sustainable development strategies.The sustainable development idea seems to be more in line with the law of social development.This article,taking the perspective of economic anthropology,explores the development of human society and related key issues.

    The three-dimensional integration of cultural values is set against their three-dimensional characteristics.The three-dimensional characteristics are in fact three contradictions that occur in the cultural development.Diachronically,it is a contradiction between continuity and transformation.Synchronically,it is a contradiction between localization and internalization;and realistically,it is a contradiction between reality and ideals.Only in the process of coordinating these three contradictions can we realize the integration of the cultural values.The choice of cultural modes and the integration of cultural values are actually a creative process of cultural application.It is necessary to discuss its general principles and methods,including the method to integrate values,to integrate dialectically and socially so as to provide a methodological guidance for the choice of cultural modes.If the three-dimensional integration is applied,it will be found that the choice of Chinese cultural modes is actually a three-dimensional application with the core value as its applied aim,the integration of multi cultures as its applied means,and the reconstruction of cultural systems as its applied achievements.

    On the basis of observing the difficulty of metaphysical ontology of philosophy,Kant’s Copernican revolution is transcendentally trying to endow the perceptual world with reality which was already abandoned and rejected by Platonism through subverting the old ontological framework.In the process of implementing the “transcendental turn”,its internal contradictions and dilemma are concentrated on the section of “subjective interpretation”,which ultimately can’t really break through the barrier of traditional philosophical metaphysics.

    There is a pretty strong polarity of views as to the aesthetic idea that “beauty is life” nowadays.The over-materialistic aesthetic interpretation has prevented us from imagining free life.According to Marxist idea,since beauty is life,people should be fully developed,and only those all-round people can create really beautiful life.

    The early folk Taoism worships aesthetics,and being immortal is an important resource in ancient China’s life aesthetics and body aesthetics.And the early folk Taoism also cherishes pleasant life and peaceful and harmonious environment,extending the value of body and significance of life.Freedom and pleasure represent the aesthetic idea of the early Taoism way of life,and the portraits in the Han Dynasty have shown the life attitude to transcend time and space to obtain eternal happiness.The description of peaceful and harmonious paradise presented in the Han portraits has transcended the traditional form aesthetics and epistemological aesthetics,and has brought about new thought and new space in interpreting life culture.

    There are closed relationships between literary production,consumption and political consumption under the precondition of political priority in the history of Chinese literary criticism.In literary creation,political consumption is mainly reflected in the authors’ interpretation and deduction of politics,that is,whether literature is to express politics directly or to hide it.In literary consumption,political consumption is mainly reflected in the readers’ excavating and sharing of political factors,that is,whether they interpret the political factors as far-fetched or through rational reading.As the starting point to study the relationship between literature and politics,political consumption determines the direction of this relationship.According to Marxist theory of esthetics,politics in literature should be the sensibility representation of human nature instead of power arena.

    The rise of the governance theory provides many references for local governance in regions inhabited by ethnic groups in China.Now the research is mainly focused on theoretical foundation,governance subject,governance of grassroots community,governance model and type as well.However,the objects and fields of study are too scattered,lacking a whole and systematic view.So researchers should break through the traditional theories from the perspective of local governance in regions inhabited by ethnic groups,actively seek for new ways,summarize new experience in practice and explore new models for local governance.

    The “three-dimensional security” refers to the security of objectivity,subjectivity and discourse,which is based on the paradigm of empirical and normative research,and is defined with the nation being the behavioral agent.To assess China’s peripheral security with the “three-dimensional security” theory,we should try to improve the comprehensive power of our country,create a peaceful surrounding environments,and adopt flexible diplomatic maneuvers to optimize peripheral security.

    With etymology as the core and pragmatics as the framework,Tomlinson discusses culture and imperialism,regarding that culture is a kind of lifestyle and a practice of ideographical expression,which should be interpreted from the perspective of non-elitism,democratic anthropological value,while imperialism should be treated in a systematic,complicated way of thinking which transcends previous interpretation of political and economical framework.With a historical examination of the discourse of cultural imperialism,Tomlinson holds that the core connotation of cultural imperialism is expressed in the form of cultural communication which is unequal and controllable among different countries.Based on his interpretation of cultural imperialism,Tomlinson has formed his own theory in the field of cultural communication.

     Combing the formation of British working class,E.P.Thompson criticized the definition of “culture” by Raymond Williams,thus enriched the multiple aspects of the definition of “culture”.The new left wing of the second generation,represented by Perry Anderson,actively sought theoretical resources from the continent,so it caused a series of significant debates with cultural Marxism in Britain.The “cultural controversy” in early British Cultural Studies not only deviated from the narrow and conservative “cultural” concept of Leavisism,enlarged the connotation of “culture” to cover daily experience,but also regarded “culture” as a resistant potential of drastic political carrier.Likely,the debate between humanistic Marxism and constructive Marxism,and that between “experience” and “theory”,not only led to the internal paradigm transition,but also opened a window to clarify the theoretical systems in British Cultural Studies.

    In 1927,when the Nanjing national government was striving for tariff autonomy,a strike broke out in Shanghai American Tobacco Factory.During the strike,which lasted for 110 days,different departments of the Party and government not only played a role of mediator but also started a gigantic civil boycotting movement by offering the strikers financial support and bargaining with the capital.In the course of the strike,objecting Shanghai American Tobacco Factory who defied the national tax was the loudest slogan,yet the interest of the workers was put at a secondary position.Obviously,the government’ intention was to put pressure on the company by strike and boycotting,which might force the company to compromise over their tax on tobacco.The strike was actually an instrument for political game between China government and the American Tobacco Factory.
    A New Interpretation of Idle Talk of Vanity in the Period between the Han and Wei Dynasties

    Idle talk of vanity in the period between the Han and Wei Dynasties may be discussed in a context of “Wen and Zhi (referring to the relationship between literary accomplishment and human nature)”.The political administration in this period shows an alternative change between “Wen” and “Zhi”,which is accompanied by eunuch  domination and dishonest election.With the turn from “Zhi” to “Wen” in the middle of this period,idle talk of vanity regains emphasis to develop,though it is more of an academic issue and is influenced by metaphysics.From then on,idle talk of vanity has reached a new stage in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
