General situation of Hui Yuan and Baohe Park was analyzed, questionnaire survey adopted to investigate age, vehicle, time of the journey, occupation and other basic information about users, and whether users, behaviors comply with intentions of designers or not. Based on the investigation results, strengths and weaknesses of theme park were analyzed, then corresponding suggestions given to promote the its further development. It was proposed that park design should not be limited in traditional Chinese garden styles or blindly copy foreign parks, advanced design techniques should be adopted, distinct gardening concepts established first, and psychology of tourists valued, so as to achieve the perfect integration of traditional cultures and modern tourist functions, and finally promote the development of theme park.展开更多

With our ability to control and manipulate matter at atomic level developed with the invention of atomic force microscope since 1980s, novel materials with feature size ranged from a few nanometer to hundreds of nanometer have been synthesized or fabricated, from nanograin crystals to low-dimensional materials. Nanomaterials are not only small in size or feature size, but also have different properties from their bulk or macro materials: Size dependent mechani- cal properties, different physical and biochemical properties. Small in size can be down into nanoscale in all the three spa- tial dimensions, leaving no dimension visible, then we have zero-dimensional (0-D) nanomaterials such as nanoparticles and fullerene synthesized in 1980s. Similar, we have I-D nanomaterials such as nanowires and nanotubes which be- come well known from early 1990s, and 2-D nanomaterials such as the graphene, the single layer of hexagonal carbon which was peel off from graphite by Geim and his colleagues in 2004 and now can be growth on substrates in large area easily in multicrystal or even in single grain if lucky enough.展开更多

摘要In the wave of internet culture,short videos have become an indispensable medium for social communication.The metaphorical hot words contained within them serve as a unique linguistic phenomenon that leads topics and focuses attention,greatly enriching the expressive layers and rhetorical charm of short videos,and significantly enhancing the video’s theme orientation and emotional identification.This research aims to explore the relationship between the use of metaphorical Internet buzzwords in short videos and the thematic and emotional orientation.The study adopts a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods,taking 10 videos with over 10,000 likes posted by a well-known blogger on Xiaohongshu in 2024 as the research object,transcribing the text,forming research corpora,and conducting multi-dimensional cognitive analysis on them.The study shows that about half of short videos contain metaphorical hot words.Different types of metaphorical hot words can trigger different emotional reactions from fans,especially humorous metaphorical hot words that can stimulate fans’emotional identification and resonance.In addition,in terms of fan participation,videos using metaphorical hot words tend to attract more fan attention than those that do not:these videos not only attract more fans to watch and like,but also trigger more comments and sharing behaviors.In summary,short videos cleverly use metaphors to create internet hot words,significantly enhancing the video’s thematic guidance and emotional resonance,manifested in creating popular topics,clarifying guiding themes,enhancing content attractiveness,and stimulating strong emotional identification,thereby promoting interactive behaviors such as likes and shares.These findings provide a reference for research in related fields such as metaphor,communication studies,and sociology.
