Identifying the Cultural Shifts and Societal Changes That Facilitated the Rise in Box Office Performance of Chinese Women’s Cinema in the 21st Century

With the gradual improvement of Chinese women’s status in the 21st century,gender studies and gender relations have become one of the hottest topics in Chinese society,which consequently prompted Chinese Women’s Cinema to attract the attention of larger audiences.With regard to the box office performance of Chinese Women’s Cinema,there seems to be a gap in research in finding an association between women’s status and the relevant films’box office performance.The purpose of this research is to outline the underlying reasons for the changes in gender roles and gender representation in the Chinese film industry over the past few decades in order to better understand this expansive social change in the 21st century.This study provides a comprehensive analysis through the use of questionnaires to better understand society’s attitude towards gender representation within the film industry.The questionnaire findings indicate that there is a direct correlation between people’s awareness of women’s changing status and gender equality and their acceptance of materials produced by Chinese Women’s Cinema.At the some time,it highlights that the Chinese government’s support and initiatives for gender equality have had a significant impact on the general popularity of Chinese Women’s Cinema.The significance of this research is to effectively popularize Chinese Women’s Cinema culture and the box office growth by understanding the social attitude towards gender representation in the Chinese film industry and to provide relevant information about the development direction and trend of Chinese Women’s Cinema.Furthermore,this research aims to provide foundational support for gender equality and help to understand the underlying factors that society needs to promote gender equality.

Do Chinese Women Face Subtle Discrimination in Job Hiring?

Gender discrimination has long been the problem that exists in the entire world,including China.However,as more and more people are focusing on the general gender discrimination,the group recognized an extension of such discrimination-pregnancy discrimination in job hiring(the discrimination that women who are pregnant or have the inclination to pregnancy receive in hiring).The possible subtle pregnancy discrimination may be one of the main causes that lead to the declining fertility rate in China.The group decided to conduct an experiment to determine whether women are receiving more subtle discrimination in job hiring due to their identity as mother than men with children,men without children,and women without children.Using the form of questionary and resumes,the team found that Chinese women are indeed enduring subtle discrimination in work hiring.The experiment highlights the importance to promote further equality among women.However,there are some confounding variables,like the level of patient of the HR who reads the resume,affecting the ultimate result of the study.Keywords:gender discrimination,women’s career,Chinese job market,pregnancy discrimination,fertility rate in China.

A Historical Review of the Development of Women’s Higher Education in China (1908-2020): Stages, Explanations, and Trends

The development of women’s higher education in China can be divided into four stages:emergence(1908-1948);foundation(1949-1976);accelerating development(1977-2008);and the qualitative leap(2009-2020).This work considers the principal institutional mechanisms that contributed to this development.First,flexibly planned parenthood gradually promoted gender equality and openness in society facilitated by systematic“awards,grants,and loans”initiatives to support women’s higher education economically.Second,compulsory education ensured that left-out and migrant children had access to higher education.Third,effective connectivity across different education types bridged education gaps between those with different levels of education.Fourth,China made great efforts to invite and integrate international experiences that promoted the development of women’s higher education.Looking beyond these achievements,we also discuss the future trends of women’s higher education in China.

The Changing Role of Chinese Women in History--From the Dream of Red Mansions to the Moment in Peking

In the history of feudal society,women were suffering from the oppression and inequality in their family and status,and also strict restriction from the society.Their freedom was limited and they could not make full use of their wisdom,and abili ty.But the role of women did not stay the same during the feudal society.It had changed though the fundamental role remained the same.Here in this essay,it mainly talked about the changing role of Chinese in history,from the beginning of the Qing Dy nasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty.It collected information,and evidences from two books which were of great value to inves tigate women's role.They were Cao Xueqin's the Dream of Red Mansions and Lin Yutang's Moment in Peking.A great por tion of these two book's main characters were women,no matter what their social statuses were,no matter what roles they were playing in the big feudal family.Based on the result of analysis,the study suggests that women have been making progress all the time in changing their situation.And the development of economy has given women immense chances to achieve their self-actu alization.

中国女排与美国、巴西、土耳其、日本女排技战术分析

文章采用录像观察法、数理统计法、文献资料法和对比分析法,以2021年世界排球联赛中国女排与前4强队的4场比赛—对阵美国队、巴西队、土耳其队和日本队中各队的技战术为研究对象,分析中国队和其他队的技战术特征,找出中国队的优劣势,以期提高中国女排的竞技实力。结果显示:中国女排存在不同队员之间进攻实力参差不齐、拦网战术配合不够默契、比赛中部分队员心理起伏较大、接发球能力不足等问题。建议加强跳发飘球的基本功训练,提高各队员的扣球实力,加强对不到位球的处理,加强拦防战术配合,增加心理训练,发挥老队员的带动作用。

中国男足球员职业污名形成机制——基于扎根理论的探索性研究

该研究运用污名化、第三人效应和场域等理论,深度剖析了由“冯巩大战”引发的中国男足球员职业污名现象,构建了由热点事件、应激反应、公众楷模、社会认知等17个范畴以及负面刻板印象、媒体舆论导向、球员生存场域、社会化程度4个主范畴组成的中国男足球员职业污名形成机制理论模型。研究发现:原本就固化于公众心目中的中国男足球员负面刻板印象,经媒体对热点事件的炒作后再次得到加强,并使公众产生相应的负面情绪,当负面情绪遇到球员的“回怼”时,中国男足球员职业污名已不可避免,球员愈想正名愈发污名。研究认为:中国男足球员职业污名既反映了公众对球员的失望和愤怒,亦深层次折射了公众对中国足球理性认知的缺乏,更是当前中国足球社会化程度偏低的现实呈现。研究建议:球员应提升自身的竞技能力,展现拼搏精神,承担社会责任;加强自媒体监管和规范,提倡正向评论,避免夸大负面事件;确保球员权益和利益受到保障,鼓励球员-媒体共生,增强球员心理韧性;建立行业自律,惩戒违规行为,重视足球文化建设。

首届女篮世界杯中国队进攻能力RSR综合分析

文章采用文献资料法、录像观察法、RSR综合评价法、数理统计法对首届女篮世界杯中国队进攻指标数据进行统计分析,结果表明:球队进攻能力RSR排名与比赛名次高度正相关,相关系数R为0.889,显著性水平检验P<0.01,进攻能力RSR综合评价能够较准确地反映球队的整体进攻能力。中国队进攻RSR值为0.641,在全部16支参赛队中排名第6,整体进攻能力属于B级,是进攻能力较强的球队。中国队场均3分球命中率稍高于B级以上的其他7支球队,其他7项进攻指标均与对手差距较小,差异不显著(P>0.05)。篮下进攻是中国队最主要和最有效的阵地进攻得分手段,队员个人得分方式较单一,中距离投篮能力弱。中国女篮应优化各位置队员的进攻得分手段,提高中距离投篮的能力,培养心智水平高、技术扎实、有统帅力的优秀核心队员,有计划地与欧美各国强队比赛交流,丰富年轻队员比赛经验,提高心理适应性。

高校高水平女子足球运动员的注意力与空间工作记忆特征研究

为探讨高校高水平女足运动员的注意力与空间工作记忆特征,对足球组和对照组共36名被试者进行《注意力测验》量表和空间工作记忆任务测试。结果显示:(1)足球组注意分配、注意广度和注意力总分均显著高于对照组。(2)足球组在1-back任务中,反应时显著低于对照组。并且当小球数量为1时,足球组反应时显著低于对照组。由此可见:高水平大学生女足运动员在注意力表现上呈现出较高的集中度和灵活性,与其对比赛环境的快速调整和对关键信息的敏感性相关。此外,她们在空间工作记忆方面也表现出显著的优势,受到长期训练对空间信息处理的积极影响。这些发现为进一步探索运动员认知特征提供了重要线索,并对足球运动训练和选拔策略做出了启示。

Women’s preconception health patterns in traditional Chinese medicine as a predictor of fertility outcomes

Objective: To examine the association between traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), preconception health patterns and fertility outcomes.Methods: A community-based prospective cohort study was conducted in China. A total of 3012 newly married women who were willing to conceive within 2 years were enrolled in the study and took National Free Prepregnancy Checkups(NFPC). A reliably structured self-rating scale was used to measure the TCM preconception health patterns of the enrolled women. A 3-year follow-up was conducted to obtain the fertility outcomes, including pregnancy rate, time to pregnancy, spontaneous miscarriage and newborn status. Statistical analyses were conducted using Chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests, logistic regression models, general linear models and the Cox proportional hazard model.Results: The fertility outcomes showed no statistic correlations to the terms of NFPC in this population.Approximately a half of the women(46.66%) had unhealthy patterns. Women with qi & blood-deficiency(odds ratio [OR] = 35.19, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.55–801.15) or qi-stagnation(OR = 4.55, 95% CI =0.90–23.06) pattern took a longer time to get pregnant, and those with qi-stagnation(OR = 2.05, 95% CI =1.1–3.82) or yang-deficiency(OR = 1.91, 95% CI = 1.12–3.25) pattern had a higher risk of spontaneous miscarriage.Conclusion: Three unhealthy TCM patterns during the preconception period might be risk factors for low fecundity or poor pregnancy outcomes. The TCM preconception pattern identification may provide a convenient and effective way to screen for potential pregnancy risks beyond the NFPC. Further, appropriate interventions based on the TCM preconception health patterns are needed to improve quality in women’s fecundability and birth outcomes.
