In recent years, Chinese animation films have begun to move towards revival, and a large number of domestic animation works with traditional styles have been loved by audiences. These animated film works integrate contemporary expression on the basis of traditional aesthetic style, which makes Chinese animated films gain recognition again. In the process of the development of domestic animation films, one should think about how to reflect contemporary spiritual values with excellent national elements. This paper discusses the innovative expression of Chinese traditional art style in animated films from three aspects. By studying the audiovisual approach of the animated film White Snake released in 2019, this paper finds that the film’s unique national characteristics of picture expression inherits and carries forward the essence of traditional culture on the basis of traditional aesthetic style. It concludes that Chinese animation films should adhere to the road of innovation and development in the future creative process, and organically combine traditional culture with contemporary aesthetics.

This study investigates the influence of children's factors, specifically children's age and gender, as well as personal factors including individual age and income, on the remarriage behaviors of divorced women. Drawing upon the Chinese Family Panel Studies (CFPS) database spanning from 2010 to 2020, administered by the Institute of Social Science Survey (ISSS) at Peking University, the author conducts an empirical analysis. By employing data cleaning and merging techniques, individual heterogeneity biases are controlled. The Logistic Regression Model is utilized as the primary analytical tool. The findings reveal that maternal age exerts a significant positive effect on remarriage behaviors, particularly pronounced in specific years such as 2012, 2014, and 2016. In contrast, children's age generally shows a negative impact, indicating that as children grow older, the likelihood of their mothers remarrying decreases. However, the effects of income and children's gender are found to be relatively limited.

Through the introduction of the development of women's art from the 1960s to the present, this paper analyzes the characteristics and styles of women's art in different historical periods through the self-expression in women's art works and the maternal image in women's art works. Furthermore, it concludes the differences between them and male creators in art, so as to judge the new direction of contemporary female art to be developed.

Song Dynasty paintings have occupied an important position in the history of Chinese and even world art with their unique artistic language, profound cultural connotation, and excellent skills. With the growing maturity and diversification of contemporary curatorial concepts and the development of ‘culture + technology’, the way of displaying Song Dynasty paintings is also changing. This study focuses on how Song Dynasty paintings are innovatively presented in contemporary curatorial practice, aiming to explore the reasons behind this innovation, the content of the practice, and the far-reaching impact of this exploration on the inheritance and development of Song Dynasty paintings, as well as on their dissemination, through literature analysis, case studies, and field visits. It is found that contemporary curation, through the use of digital technology, interactive experience, and other innovative means, has successfully presented the art of Song Dynasty paintings to the audience in a more vivid and intuitive way, which greatly enhances the audience's viewing experience and depth of understanding. This exploration not only enriches the form and connotation of art display, but also provides new ideas and paths for the inheritance and development of traditional culture, which is of great significance to the promotion of the international dissemination and protection of Song Dynasty painting art.

In the history of art, the audience has always been a fundamental component, not only as the appreciator of artworks but also as the interpreter and active participant in the art experience. The audience’s engagement extends beyond passive observation, as they contribute to the dialogue and interpretation of art, shaping its meaning and significance within different cultural and historical contexts. Over time, with the continuous evolution of society, culture, science, and technology, the forms of art production and distribution have undergone significant transformations. As a result, the role of the audience has also evolved. In contemporary society, the traditional boundaries between artist and viewer have blurred, with audiences taking on roles as creators, curators, and critics. This shift reflects the growing inclusiveness of art, where audiences are no longer confined to passive consumption but are increasingly active in the creation and dissemination of art. Thus, the art audience's role has become more dynamic and multifaceted.

This study focuses on the basis of contemporary scholars' research on the artistic style of Chinese and Western combination of different patterns of falangcai painted enamels in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty and the study of mother and child images in the Qianlong period. This study is of great significance to the study of the pattern of falangcai painted enamels. This study mainly focuses on the design of ribbons, picture composition, character image and space expression in enamel porcelain pattern. In this study, literature analysis, iconography research methods and comparative analysis were used to summarize the main characteristics of porcelain patterns before the Qianlong period, analyze the figures in the patterns and their backgrounds, and compare the elements in traditional Chinese patterns and Western paintings. These methods are conducive to the study. Through the analysis of the patterns in the falangcai of the Qianlong period of Qing dynasty, it is found that the dynamic sash pattern, the composition of the body of the figure, the three-dimensional painting of the light and shade and the scientific spatial expression are all influenced by Western culture, so it is further concluded that the falangcai of the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty is an important crystallization of Chinese and Western visual art.

In Chinese and Western painting, respectively, there are apparent differences in the representation of the vision of nature and the philosophy of art, even though paintings carry nature as their theme in art history. The extent of these differences can be well understood by comparing works of different artists from diverse cultures. The case selected for analysis in this paper comprises the Chinese Northern Song period painter Fan Kuan and the British Romantic painter J. M. W. Turner. This paper compares and contrasts the two artists regarding their perceptions of nature and aesthetic systems. Various perspectives of nature can be explained by works like Fan Kuan's Travelers Among Mountains and Streams and William Turner's The Blizzard or Snowstorm. This paper uses a qualitative research approach to understand how the two painters depict their understanding of the topic through their creativity. Many of the works painted by Fan Kuan illustrate the Confucianistic notion of 'heaven-men unity', focusing on such aspects of nature as peacefulness and timelessness. On the other hand, Turner in his paintings responds to the relation of the age of romance to the force of light, the force of colours, Turner responds to this power of the age. The study findings reveal that though the two painters had a clear distinction based on their cultural origin, style, and thought on philosophical matters, both the painters had artistic interpretations of the natural world in their use of artistic forms.

Guqin has a history of more than 3,000 years. According to legend, it is one of the oldest harpsichord music in China and one of China's intangible cultural heritages. It is not only the favorite of literati, but also contains rich social and cultural values.

This paper first introduces the historical development of Guqin, starting from the origin, a detailed analysis of the development of Guqin in the Han Dynasty, Tang Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty. Finally, the comparison of ancient and modern Guqin conditions triggers thinking about the protection of Guqin. At last, this paper puts forward two methods that are beneficial to the development of Guqin and thinks that more propaganda should be done.

This paper examines the complex interplay between gender expression, linguistic representation, and therapeutic practice in counseling settings. The paper analyzes how societal influences shape the understanding and articulation of gender concepts. The research highlights the critical distinction between sex and gender in linguistic frameworks, with particular attention to the independent yet interrelated expressions of masculinity and femininity. Through theoretical analysis and empirical observation, the article demonstrates that language serves as a dynamic form of gender expression, continuously modified by sociocultural contexts. Building on these findings, the article proposes a novel theoretical model for counseling practitioners to enhance self-reflection and cultural competency in working with LGBTQ+ clients. This model offers a structured framework for counselors to examine their own gender-related traits and adapt their therapeutic approaches to provide more effective and culturally sensitive support for gender-diverse populations.
