Shamanic culture, which adheres to the worldview of connecting earth and heaven, has been marginalized in the discourse of the modern material world and separated from mainstream society. However, with the increase in personal problems in civil society and the rise of regional cultural identity since the reform and opening up in China, shamanic practitioners have again become active. Adapting to the official ideology, shamanic culture has emerged in China as a new form of folk culture and cultural heritage. Using Michael Herzfeld’s theory of “cultural intimacy” to a limited extent, this paper regards the new image of the shamanic tradition that has appeared in the new era as a manifestation of “cultural intimacy”, which does not infringe the authority of official discourse, nor damage the interests of government departments, and is in line with the imagination of official discourse about culture. Within the shaman cultural community, the shamanic tradition continues to connect earth and heaven, helping to solve difficult personal problems, alleviating the pressure of the material world, and at the same time making the sacred expression of the members of the shaman cultural community possible. In this way, the shaman tradition, which has emerged in a new image since the new era, has maintained the ecological balance between government and folk practices and formed a more stable pattern of cooperation.

This research is one of the very few studies that seeks to examine the association between China's industrial development and its energy sustainability. It does so by discussing the impact of industrialization on energy security in the new era, during which the focuses of industrialization and energy security in China have changed. The former has shifted from quantity-based expansion to quality-based growth, while the latter has shifted from supply security to comprehensive security, including matching security. Since researchers have paid little attention to evaluations of industrialization and energy security from the perspective of the new era, this study aims to address this gap. An empirical study on the impact of industrialization on energy security is conducted, taking 30 provinces in China as research objects. The findings show that China's energy supply security and consumption security have improved but that its matching security has deteriorated, which will eventually lead to an overall deterioration in energy security. Industrialization, however, can improve levels of energy security, supply security, and consumption security. Moreover, green technology efficiency and the capital–labor ratio both can improve levels of energy security and supply security, the former can also improve the level of consumption security and the latter can also improve the level of matching security. In contrast, an increase in GDP per capita inhibits energy security, supply security, consumption security, and matching security. This study will be helpful for policymakers seeking to resolve the issue of energy sustainability in the context of industrialization in China's new era. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the change of social environment and the influence of multiple values, the concept of love of postgraduates in universities in the new era has changed greatly compared with that of postgraduates in the middle and late 20th century. Post-graduates’ concepts of marriage and love have an important impact on the implementation effect of China's new population policy (three child policy). Through the questionnaire survey on postgraduates in Hubei province, the concept of love of male and female postgraduates in colleges is comprehensively displayed from the five aspects of love status, love attitude, love motivation, mate selection standard and marriage concept. It is found that there are great differences in the love views of male and female postgraduates. This paper mainly analyzes the reasons for the differences of love views between male and female postgraduates in universities from the four aspects: the empowerment of women by social development, the pressure of love consumption, the differences between male and female gender culture and the influence of family and marriage ideas. It suggests to optimize the cultivation environment of social love concept, strengthen the education of love concept in universities, and enhance the self-education of postgraduates, so as to guide postgraduates to form a correct love concept, actively pursue love, improve their ability to love, and achieve a happy marriage.

Water is essential for the sustainable development of human society. With the largest population and rapid economic development, water usage and treatment in China have grown tremendously in the past decades. In order to prevent water pollution, the standards for wastewater effluent discharge in China have been gradually developed and implemented since 1973. After the rapid development during over 40 years, numerous milestones have been achieved in terms of infrastructure coverage, standard and policy system establishment, and technological innovations. In this article, we reviewed the development history and the current status of the wastewater treatment in China, including the generation of wastewater, the construction of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), the overall treatment performance of WWTPs, as well as the developments in effluent discharge standards. In addition, we highlighted the challenges lying ahead in the aspects of influent concentration, sludge disposal and water reclamation. Based on the achievement and foundation built in the past, the new era of wastewater treatment of China is on the way, in which water reclamation, wastewater treatment in rural areas and resource/energy recovery from sludge are becoming the main tasks.

This paper contends that China higher education has become one of the most attractive academic hubs for citizens of developing and developed nations. Empirical evidences show that the opening up policy and the spread of Confucius institutes in the world support China higher education breakthrough. More importantly linguistic tolerance that is practiced during the selection process of international students and officials to undertake short or long exchange programs in Chinese institutions may account for the rapid internationalization of China higher education. The researcher has used content analysis of grants and scholarship offers to Chinese universities, related policy papers and statements to discover that the Chinese government gives a place of choice to students and workers of developing countries through the medium of many English-taught programs at bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels. In addition, the researcher has used the interview to collect some data from scholarship awardees. This was done in a bid to find out their impressions about English language requirements to be fulfilled by candidates for the award of various scholarships and short training programs in Chinese universities. The analysis of interviewees’ verbatim strongly supports the claim that China higher education attracts more talents thanks to more tolerant and flexible linguistic requirements applied during the selection process. Owing to this new vision of higher education in China, it is recommended that more top ranking universities in the West, which use English as foreign or second language, must emulate China example and offer more flexible linguistic requirements for English-taught programs to talents from developing nations. This will undoubtedly foster academic mobility and inclusive development of the world in this new era.

Xi Jinping's ecological civilization is an important part of socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and it is also a highlight of foreign dissemination of Xi Jinping's socialism with Chinese characteristics. The green, balanced and sustainable concept contained in it also brings a lot of enlightenment to the innovation of external communication methods. It can be said that ecological civilization is a red line. The thought of ecological civilization affects the national governance ability, the modernization of national governance and the cross-cultural construction of national image. In a sense, the modernization of national governance should also be reflected in the cultivation of national ecological civilization quality, the overall ecological civilization of the country and the external green (ecological) communication, guidance, influence and credibility of socialist ecological civilization. Under the guidance of green (ecological) concept, the idea of ecological civilization of General Secretary Xi Jinping, including the whole socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics, will be in a great situation of "letting a hundred of flowers bloom and a hundred of schools of thought contend" in external communication of the new era.
