On the Modern Literary Origins of American Fantasy
American fantasy, a genre of popular fiction born in the early 20th century, initially emerged under the impact of British fantasy. It continuously expanded its writing boundaries and forms of expression through the convergence with American popular culture and popular art, ultimately forming a more diverse and comprehensive system of fantasy with American national characteristics. In the process of the emergence and development of American fantasy, modern novels of different genres and countries exerted the most direct influence on American fantasy writers, and had a profound impact on the final shaping and prosperity of modern American fantasy.

Research on the Collaborative Integration of Science and Education to Enhance the Innovation Ability Training Model for Undergraduate Students in Traditional Chinese Medicine
The cultivation of innovative awareness and practical competence among undergraduate students has become a central theme in higher education reform worldwide. Within the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the integration of scientific research and education is particularly significant, as it not only preserves traditional medical knowledge but also equips students with the skills to address contemporary healthcare challenges. This study explores the developmental trajectory, current status, and future prospects of innovation-oriented education in TCM undergraduate programs, with a focus on the collaborative model of “integration of science and education.” Through literature review, policy analysis, and case study of ongoing initiatives, the paper identifies major challenges such as narrow curriculum design, insufficient research engagement, limited exposure to interdisciplinary learning, and weak support mechanisms. To address these issues, a framework driven by research projects is proposed, emphasizing multi-level integration of teaching, research, and practice. The study also highlights the necessity of robust support systems, including funding guarantees, faculty development, infrastructure, and evaluation mechanisms. Findings suggest that project-driven participation in research activities significantly enhances students’ ability to think critically, solve problems, and translate knowledge into practice. The paper concludes that building a sustainable and systematic innovation training model is essential for strengthening the competitiveness of TCM education and for cultivating a new generation of practitioners and researchers capable of bridging tradition with modern science.

A Study on the English Translations of Culture-loaded Words in Qing Pingdiao
This paper examines the English translation strategies of culturally loaded terms in Qing Pingdiao, a group of poems by Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai. Qing Pingdiao embodies distinct cultural uniqueness, presenting challenges in conveying imagery, explaining background information, and reproducing rhythmic beauty in translation. The paper compares the translation approaches of Xu Yuanchong and Zhao Yanchun, revealing that Xu adopts a foreignization strategy, emphasizing the preservation of the original poem's cultural essence and seeking "form-spirit equivalence," while Zhao employs a domestication strategy, prioritizing cross-cultural poetic resonance and constructing universal aesthetic experiences. These differing strategies highlight the influence of translator subjectivity, suggesting that a diverse range of strategies is essential for the elevation of Chinese poetry from "cultural export" to "civilizational dialogue."

Analysis of the Subtitle Translation of Titanic from Multimodal Discourse
This paper takes the multimodal discourse analysis theory as the framework, focuses on the subtitle translation of the movie Titanic, and explores the collaborative mechanism and the effect of meaning transmission in terms of culture, context, content and expression. It is found that subtitle translation is not merely a simple text conversion but also an integration of cross-modal resources and a reconstruction of cultural meanings. This research aims to break through the limitations of a single language, provide new perspectives and strategies for subtitle translation practice, and has positive significance for promoting understanding and communication among different cultures.

The Effect of Different Training Frequencies on Students' Mastery of Traditional Chinese Archery Basic Techniques: A Neurophysiological and Pedagogical Analysis
Traditional Chinese archery transcends mere physical sport, representing a profound practice of mind-body unity and cultural transmission. For novices, the scientific arrangement of training frequency is a critical pedagogical challenge for efficiently mastering foundational techniques, which are characterized by their complexity and reliance on fine proprioception. This paper investigates the differential effectiveness of various training frequencies—specifically contrasting high-frequency, short-duration sessions with low-frequency, long-duration sessions—on the acquisition of basic skills in traditional Chinese archery. Grounded in the principles of exercise physiology, motor skill learning theory, and cognitive neuroscience, it provides a granular analysis of their respective advantages in neural pathway development, skill consolidation, and mental focus, alongside potential drawbacks such as injury risk and psychological burnout. The paper culminates in proposing an optimized hybrid training model that strategically integrates high-frequency deliberate practice, periodic immersive sessions, "offline" mental visualization, and deep cultural immersion. This model is designed to transition skill acquisition from simple muscular repetition to a cultivated, holistic discipline. Systematic recommendations for teaching practice are offered, emphasizing thematic training, individualized feedback, and the nurturing of intrinsic motivation through philosophical engagement.

A Comparative Study of Gender Language Differences in Two Translation Versions of To the Lighthouse from the Perspective of Feminist Translation
To the Lighthouse is a modernist literary classic by Virginia Woolf that integrates feminist ideology and stream-of-consciousness narrative. This study, taking Qu Shijing and Ma Ainong's translations as examples, explores how the three major feminist translation strategies are reflected in the Gender Language Differences of different translators from the perspective of feminist translation theory. The research finds that translators of different genders employ different translation strategies to achieve their translation goals. Female translators are more inclined to actively intervene in the text content and use strategies such as “hijacking” and “supplementation” to realize the characteristics of female discourse and construct female discourse power. However, male translators often favor faithful expressions. By preserving the grammatical structure of the original text, selecting neutral terms, or diminishing gender-related metaphors, they bring the translated text closer to conventional literary standards. Their intervention strategies tend to be more implicit and restrained. The research provides an empirical case from a transgender perspective for the study of feminist literary translation, highlighting that translation is not only a language conversion but also a field where gender concepts collide.

Material Evidence of the Heji (Harmonious Integration) Policy: Integration Mechanism between the Silk Threaded Jade Burial Suit and the Jade Burial System in the Tomb of King Zhao Mo of Nanyue
During the transition from the Qin to the Han dynasty, Zhao Tuo established the Nanyue Kingdom in the Lingnan region and implemented the highly innovative Heji (Harmonious Integration) policy, which provided a stable political foundation for the deep integration of Central Plains and Baiyue cultures. This paper focuses on the jade artifacts unearthed from the tomb of the Nanyue king, especially the most representative silk‑threaded jade burial suit, with the aim of deciphering the cultural codes of integration embedded in these material remains. It argues that the Nanyue jade burial system was not a simple imitation of Central Plains ritual institutions, but rather a bidirectional interaction of “inheritance” and “adaptation” carried out under the framework of the Heji (Harmonious Integration) policy. Specifically, the silk‑threaded jade burial suit strictly follows the burial‑jade conventions of the Central Plains in both form and structure, thereby signifying its alignment with political orthodoxy. In contrast, its material composition, decorative motifs, and combined functions display distinct Baiyue characteristics, highlighting the agency of local culture. Employing a research methodology that combines micro‑level case study with macro‑level analysis, this paper shows that the silk‑threaded jade suit and the jade burial system it represents function not only as the material embodiment of the successfully implemented Heji (Harmonious Integration) policy but also reveal the resilient wisdom and practical pathways that underlie the emergence of the early Chinese civilization’s pattern of pluralistic unity.
