Guanlin Li, Juree Suchonvanich, QingYuan Zheng — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This paper employs literature analysis and close reading methods to explore the characteristics of Li Xunhuan's "swordsman" image from the perspective of chivalrous spirit under the connotation of chivalrous culture. The study finds that Li Xunhuan is a "benevolent" and "righteous" hero, as well as a "sincere" and "noble" hero. His "swordsman" image has both similarities and differences compared to other heroes in novels. Regardless of whom or what he faces, Li Xunhuan always prioritizes benevolence and righteousness. He is upright, honest, and broad-minded, embodying the long-standing traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and becoming a model admired by people. Although Li Xunhuan is a fictional character created by Gu Long, his image's chivalrous spirit, noble qualities, and life attitude are worth learning from. This study provides a reference direction for scholars researching the "swordsman" image.

Analysis of Dietary Culture Content in Chinese Textbooks from a Cross-Cultural Perspective: A Case Study of Thailand's "Elementary Chinese" and "Intermediate Chinese" Textbooks

Rong Wu, Shuoyan Lin — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study examines the dietary culture in “Elementary Chinese” and “Intermediate Chinese” textbooks to explore their contribution to cultivating cross-cultural communication competence. Using content analysis, the research classifies and summarizes dietary-related vocabulary, lesson texts, and cultural contexts to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of their cultural design.

The findings indicate that these textbooks exhibit the following features: 1. Vocabulary progression aligns with learners’ language proficiency development by adopting a gradual increase in difficulty; 2. Dietary culture is integrated into realistic scenarios through dialogues, making the learning process more engaging and practical; 3. The content emphasizes the similarities and differences between Chinese and Thai dietary cultures, aiding students in understanding and adapting to cross-cultural communication. However, the study also identifies several limitations, including limited representation of diverse Chinese dietary cultures, uneven vocabulary distribution, insufficient variety in presentation formats, and inadequate depth of cultural background information. To address these issues, the study suggests enriching dietary culture content, optimizing vocabulary design, increasing material diversity, and deepening cross-cultural comparisons. These improvements aim to enhance textbook design and provide higher-quality resources for international Chinese language education.

Theoretical Foundations (T), which emphasized constructing knowledge, comprehension, and core concepts related to the nation, religion, and monarchy; 2. Research & Experience (R), which promoted experiential learning through authentic engagement, inquiry-based activities, and community participation; and 3. Unity & Positive Psychology (U), which aimed to instill desirable characteristics, foster social cohesion, and enhance self-worth and empathy. Expert evaluation of the model demonstrated a high level of validity and appropriateness. Moreover, the implementation results revealed that students achieved significantly higher academic performance post-intervention, reported high levels of desirable behaviors through self-assessment, and were observed by both teachers and parents to exhibit consistently positive behavioral attributes at a high level.

Hongwei Luo, I-Wen Chou — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to explore the relationship between learning motivation, learning anxiety, and learning burnout, focusing on analyzing the association between learning motivation and learning burnout among Chinese major students at two Thai universities, and verifying the mediating role of learning anxiety. It also investigates the mediating role of learning anxiety. The data was collected through an online questionnaire using the purposive sampling method. A total of 325 questionnaires were collected, and after removing invalid ones, 240 valid questionnaires remained. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS and Mplus.

The findings indicate that: 1. learning motivation negatively affects learning burnout; 2. the relationship between learning motivation and learning burnout is somewhat mediated by learning anxiety. This study highlights how important it is to reduce learning anxiety because doing so increases learning motivation and dramatically lowers the likelihood of learning burnout. In order to improve the learning effectiveness of Thai Chinese learners, the research findings offer empirical evidence for the optimization of Chinese language education policies in Thailand and a theoretical foundation for teaching Chinese.
