Abstract: Fitness serves as the measure of biological adaptation to nature. Enhancing fitness is an innate trait of both organisms and humans, serving as the fundamental driving force of biological evolution and forming the common theoretical foundation of individual selection theory, group selection theory, kin selection theory, gene selection theory, multilevel selection theory, and others. Current fitness theories attribute the nature of organisms and humans to maximizing the spread of common genes, which seriously contradicts biological and human behaviors as well as evolutionary facts, leading to the unsolved "Darwinian paradox." By breaking the constraints of current fitness theories and replacing them with new ones, a satisfactory explanation of biological and human behaviors as well as evolutionary facts can be achieved, thereby establishing the foundation of biological evolution theory on solid ground.I

Abstract: The Dasong Tianwenshu was compiled by the Bureau of Astronomy under imperial edict during the Yuanfeng era of the Northern Song Dynasty. Its overall structure is rigorous and well-organized, with certain volumes exhibiting innovative content, thus providing significant theoretical and practical value. Currently, there are three extant versions of this book: the National Museum version, the Shanghai Library version, and the Nanjing Library version. The latter two are more closely related in terms of textual lineage. The authors of this book include Wang Anli and Ouyang Fa, among others. The primary purpose of its compilation was to resolve the inconsistencies in divinatory statements found in contemporary divination texts, aiming for a standardized system that would facilitate divinatory practices. This study finds that Ouyang Fa and his colleagues used the Jingyou Qianxiang Xinshu as their main source, selectively incorporating, simplifying, and integrating various divinatory statements to form a new astrological text. Throught investigation of the the citation by historical documents, it can be determined that this book was known as the Song Tianwenzhi during the Jin Dynasty and played an important role in astronomical institutions during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. The fifteen-volume Lingtai Miyuan was primarily based on this book, rather than being the original work of Yu Jicai from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Dasong Tianwenshu preserves many unique astronomical records from the Northern Song period, such as those related to the armillary sphere, star charts, gnomen, and clepsydra. These records hold significant historical value.

Abstract: The empowerment of libraries in shaping new public cultural spaces constitutes a core element of building a new public cultural infrastructure system and spatial service scenarios. This article employs deductive and inductive methods, along with case analyses, to explore a research framework for the role of libraries in the development of new public cultural spaces. The framework is analyzed across three dimensions: theoretical empowerment, practical empowerment, and standard empowerment. Additionally, the article proposes implementation pathways for the future development of new public cultural spaces in China. Theoretical empowerment involves guiding the construction model of main and branch libraries with third space theory, directing the socialized operation model with spatial production theory, and guiding the urban-rural cultural integration model with spatial justice theory. Practical modalities are shifting towards the extension of public cultural cloud space scenarios driven by digital transformation, the intelligent expansion of public library space transformation and operations, and the transition of urban cultural spatial services facilitated by the construction of the “City of Libraries”. Standard empowerment encompasses relevant standards and norms in library architecture, library services, and library assessments. Looking forward, libraries need to enhance development pathways by improving related standards, strengthening technological developments, aligning with practical industry needs, and constructing a comprehensive supply system. This will ultimately contribute to the establishment of a modern, independent public cultural service system with Chinese characteristics.

Abstract: This article explores the innovative experiences in constructing new public cultural spaces in libraries, aiming to facilitate the systematic, phased, and focused involvement of libraries in the construction of a modern public cultural service system. Utilizing literature review and meta-analysis methods, it distills the progress made in libraries’ practical actions to govern new public cultural spaces. This involves expanding the scope of spatial services, highlighting distinctive spatial patterns, enhancing the upgrading of spatial norms, and expanding the spatial content system. The construction of new public cultural spaces is moving towards integrated urban- rural development, universal accessibility, and nationwide coverage. However, it also faces practical challenges such as insufficient policy provision, blind spots in grassroots services, insufficient provision of service content and deviations from evaluation systems. Future efforts in the construction of new public cultural spaces in libraries should expedite the filling of grassroots gaps, drive spatial transformations, optimize integrated formats, and guide social participation. These measures aim to continually pioneer a new era in the construction of innovative public cultural spaces, contributing industry value to the high-quality development of the public cultural service system.

Abstract: As an important guarantee mechanism to practice the governance concept of “people’s city”, exploring the effective path of government purchasing of urban public cultural services is the key to ensure the high-quality development of public cultural services. This study proposes a shift in public cultural space governance based on scenario theory and uses a case analysis method to analyze the overall progress and characteristics of the 33 urban public cultural spaces that won the “2022 Most Beautiful Public Cultural Space Competition in the Yangtze River Delta and Domestic Provinces and Cities”. It constructs a governance framework for government purchasing of urban public cultural services. The governance of government purchasing of urban public cultural spaces requires clarifying the guiding role of government departments, activating the potential participation of social forces, harnessing the leading role of the people, and exploring the value of synergistic co-creation among the three entities. To further address the practical challenges in government purchasing of urban public cultural services, such as the imbalance in the development of entities, the lack of fairness, and the misalignment of supply and demand, future efforts should focus on optimizing through dimensions like balanced development of entities, equitable government purchasing, and precise matching of supply and demand.
