Guizhou batik is a typical representative of textile dyeing intangible cultural heritage. This paper explores the feasibility of integrating generative AI with Guizhou batik by examining the current state of both fields. It proposes how generative AI can address existing challenges in Guizhou batik, such as the uneven distribution of inheritors and the outdated pattern symbols and design language. Furthermore, it discusses how traditional handicrafts can coexist with digital intelligence in the modern era. The study also demonstrates that the introduction of generative AI not only enables efficient design and enhances artistic expression but also preserves the traditional characteristics of batik craftsmanship, providing insights into the digital-intelligent integration of Guizhou batik art.

Principles for the Standardized Handling of Digital Property Inheritance

Qizhen Yang — 2025-05-06

The emergence of digital property has sparked another revolution in the expansion of the objects of rights, gradually becoming an important component of citizens' legitimate property. Ensuring the inheritance of digital heritage is an inherent requirement for realizing citizens' digital property rights. However, due to the characteristics of digital heritage-such as the intangibility of its objects, the diversity of its forms, and the complexity of its rights-it poses challenges to the existing inheritance system.The main problems facing digital heritage inheritance are the unclear legal status of digital heritage, the difficulties in applying traditional inheritance models, and the conflicts of rights inherent in digital heritage itself. Digital heritage inheritance should adopt a typological approach, categorizing digital heritage into three types based on their different characteristics: personality rights-based, property rights-based, and composite rights-based. Different types of heritage inheritance should adhere to principled methods of handling, including the principle of party autonomy, the principle of value hierarchy, the principle of proportionality, and the principle of division of rights, all of which are innovatively applied in the context of digital property. A forward-looking legal framework for digital heritage inheritance should define the legal status of digital heritage, establish inheritance principles, and clarify the obligations of third-party platforms. Digital heritage inheritance also requires the coordinated efforts of a digital heritage trustee system, technical protection and regulatory systems, and international cooperation mechanisms. The realization of digital heritage inheritance is not only a necessary condition for safeguarding citizens' legitimate property rights, but also an important component for promoting economic development in the digital age. Effective digital heritage inheritance and reasonable distribution not only ensure the comprehensive protection of citizens' property rights, but also serve as an important indicator of the level of legal civilization in society.

Reconstructing the Subjective Identity of Artificial Intelligence in the AI Era: From Instrumental Rationality to Ethical Entity

Xu Sheng Zhang — 2025-05-10

As artificial intelligence (AI) technology advances at an unprecedented pace, it is evolving from a mere instrument into a “quasi-subject.” This transformation inevitably reshapes the traditional human–machine relationship and gives rise to profound social and ethical challenges. From the dual perspectives of value philosophy and social ethics, this paper examines the trajectory by which AI shifts from being an “objectified tool” to a “constrained subject.” We propose a theoretical model of a “human-led finite subject,” laying a conceptual foundation for situating AI’s quasi-subjective role within social ethics. By analyzing possible directions for constructing AI subjectivity and the ethical dilemmas it faces, we outline a human–machine ecological symbiosis model grounded in algorithmic justice.

Qing Yang — 2025-05-31

With the rapid development of information and communication technology and new office forms, non-working time and work-related electronic communication has become an essential part of people's work and life. Teachers in colleges and universities also have the same phenomenon in their daily work, but different teachers have different evaluations of this work status, and there are differences in the impact of different work motives. The article explores the mechanism of the influence of non-working time and work-related electronic communication on work engagement by taking teachers in college A as the research object, and selects boundary flexibility ability as the moderating variable. The results show that non-working time and work-related e-communication have a significant negative effect on work engagement of teachers in college A. Boundary elasticity ability plays a negative moderating role between non-working time and work-related e-communication and work engagement, and there is a significant difference between different work motives. The findings of the study provide theoretical basis and practical support for moderately controlling non-work time and work-related e-communication and enhancing college teachers' work engagement.

Measurement and Analysis of Opportunity Inequality in Residents' Income

Zhenghui Jin — 2025-06-26

Based on data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), this study employs a parametric method to measure the degree of opportunity inequality in residents' income. It analyzes the spatial distribution characteristics across eight regions and delves into the contribution mechanisms of grouped environmental variables to income inequality. The empirical findings reveal that family environment factors consistently serve as the core driving force behind income opportunity inequality, with a persistently stable and significant contribution, underscoring the enduring impact of intergenerational transmission. Regional environmental factors exhibit significant fluctuations in their contributions, which are closely synchronized with the evolution of the overall inequality index, highlighting the pivotal role of regional development disparities in shaping inequality patterns. The contribution of individually controllable factors shows a gradual upward trend, providing a buffering effect, particularly during phases of declining opportunity inequality. Overall, the influence of environmental groupings on income inequality is characterized by a three-dimensional dynamic pattern of "family dominance, regional fluctuation, and individual enhancement."
