Scholars have researched the impact of Buddhism on pre-modern and modern East Asia from different aspects, both within and between politics (states since the late 19th century): art, ideology, cultural practice, and food. Among existing academic literature on Buddhism’s impact on the interaction between polities within East Asia, the expansion of certain material cultural elements and cultural concepts and foodways are among the major focuses. This paper employs the anthropological understanding of non-material and material components of culture. The “working” anthropological definition of religion is combined, to summarize and categorize the existing research on Buddhism’s impact on pre-modern East Asian culture. Understanding culture in its material and non-material components, and its relationship with religion through time and space leads to this article to structure the relationship between Buddhism and pre-modern East Asian cultures into its expansion, its development, and its impact on different subcategories of a culture. The overview suggests an increase in future research on the multidirectional interaction of Buddhist pre-modern East Asian cultures and Buddhism’s influence on greater foodway within different pre-modern East Asian societies.

The topic investigated is the eleven-headed Guanyin in the Northern Song Dynasty. Details of the arts are provided and analyzed. A comparison between its painting and statue is also made. The research is made to figure out their difference and analyze the details by observation and comparison, which is used to discover characteristics and distinctive features through the findings of differences and similarities. It aimed to find out which of the expression methods can deliver a clearer interpretation. Both the hanging scroll and the sculpture have their own upsides and downsides. They showed that no matter what the art expression is, Guanyin is a representation of compassion and mercy. Although expression forms are different, the same idea can be delivered. Also, it is found that the gender of Guanyin is based on its personification, which is compassion and kindness. So, this bodhisattva has been designed to be more like a woman since the Song Dynasty.

China's video game industry has grown rapidly, however high-budget, high-quality AAA games remain scarce compared to Western markets. This paper examines key obstacles facing AAA game development in China. The prevailing free-to-play business model conflicts with the AAA model. Government regulations and censorship create barriers. Negative public attitudes constrain the industry. Lower incomes and less leisure time mean weaker demand for expensive AAA games versus quick mobile games. The paper analyzes Black Myth: Wukong, an upcoming AAA title based on Journey to the West. As China's most anticipated AAA game, it benchmarks progress and potential for domestic AAA gaming.

Chinese offers an intriguing linguistic terrain for temporal expressions that is vastly distinct from many Indo-European languages, which use verb conjugation structures for this purpose. This paper delves deep into China's nuanced temporal nuances, exploring their implications on time delineation using uninflected verbs. Focusing on contextual clues, adverbs, particles and sentence structure we observe the interaction among these components that ensure clarity and precision when conveying temporal information. Notably, temporal adverbs such as "Gang Gang" and "Gang Cai", when used with aspect markers, create layers of temporal ambiguity which underline how language's inherent flexibility relies on shared contextual understanding. By conducting a comprehensive analysis of Chinese temporal expressions, this paper highlights the adaptability of languages, as well as their mutually reinforcing relationship between grammar and pragmatics, and culture and cognition in communicating time's complexity.

As a cultural communication medium, art needs to be developed and passed on. In an environment where traditional culture and art are gradually being forgotten, interactive media is particularly important. Compared with traditional media, interactive media is more guiding and interactive, and can also stimulate people's interest in traditional art and culture. The interactive media incorporated into modern urban design can better establish connections between traditional art culture, artists and the public, making traditional art culture truly come alive and integrated into urban space design. The addition of interactive media enables people to not only appreciate but also have a strong sense of participation. This article verifies the influence of interactive media in changing traditional culture and art by studying the impact of interactive media on traditional culture when interacting with the audience, and explores how interactive media art can be integrated into urban space design.

As an epoch-making achievement in the field of natural science, the scientific principles of quantum mechanics, such as nonlocality, entanglement and decoherence, and role at a distance, have triggered many different interpretations and controversies in the field of philosophy, among which idealism, metaphysics, and agnosticism are based on which to question or even deny dialectical materialism. Marxist philosophy has always closely interacted with natural science. In the face of new and old propositions in quantum mechanics, such as uncertainty principle, quantum tunneling, large distance zero interaction measurement, and Poincare regression of multi particle quantum system, we can promote its compatibility with the new world outlook and methodology of quantum science in the intertextuality interpretation. Quantum mechanics reveals the "intermediate phenomenon" in the process of understanding the micro world, highlighting the dialectical characteristics of materialistic epistemology; It emphasizes probability, but denies that uncertainty is subjective conjecture, defending the objectivity of existence; For the movement and change of things, the status of the contingency category has been improved and the linear causality has been exceeded, but the existence of universal and inevitable connection has not been fundamentally denied.

The chaos and destruction brought about by World War I prompted people to seek new forms of expression. In the 20th century when Woolf lived, women were greatly constrained, and they had almost no time of their own. However, this was also the period when the first wave of feminism began to emerge. By studying Woolf's work, we can see that the pioneers of modernism and feminism had completely different views and perspectives from people who hold traditional techniques. Woolf is famous for her stream-of-consciousness technique; therefore, it is necessary to examine how she uses this technique to express her thoughts in “The Mark on the Wall,” her first venture into the realm of stream-of-consciousness. This paper examines Woolf’s attenuation of narrative time and her use of a single character, “I.” In addition, I suggest that the images and personal pronouns used by Woolf also demonstrate her pursuit of freedom and her feminism. Studying Woolf's first stream-of-consciousness short story “The Mark on the Wall” is essential for understanding Woolf’s early writing as well as tracing her evolution as a writer.
