This paper focuses its analysis on the dream related poems included in Wild Grass (Yecao), Lu Xun’s prose poem anthology. To start with, it studies Lu Xun’s purposes and reasons for choosing the medium called “dream” when composing poems in Wild Grass by scrutinizing the similarities between dreams and poems, and the effects that can be derived when Lu Xun’s ideas are conveyed through the form of dreams. On top of this, this paper also interprets the content of Wild Grass’ dreams and the meanings of symbols and images inside them by referring to psychological dream theories. Although literary reading on these poems may only lead to finding the superficial messages contained in Lu Xun’s dreams, such as Lu Xun’s criticism on hostile forces and the sordid social aspect or human images of that time, it is possible to discover Lu Xun’s self-examination, his sense of guilt, and his resolution for atonement, which are the key ideas of Lu Xun’s writings, based on dream theories. To be specific, due to government’s oppression of free speech, and his concern over the shock readers might get after understanding the reality of the Chinese society via reading his works, Lu Xun was obliged to tell lies in his writings. He felt guilty for this behavior and also for succeeding the feudal traditions and cultures of China. Therefore, he wandered and struggled while suffering from his guilt feeling. Eventually, he decided to expiate his guilt by vanishing with the old society and power that prevented China from being reformed. However, it was also shown from his poems that his resolution was not determined enough, that his hesitation and struggle were still not over, that he wanted to relieve himself of his heavy responsibility. Nevertheless, this inconsistent attitude of Lu Xun was merely a natural result of Lu Xun’s essence: “chaos” and “contradiction”, and it also explained why Lu Xun picked the form of dream, whose basic feature was disorder, to deliver his thoughts. As such, this study not only proves that psychological examination of Wild Grass’ dream related poems helps readers detect crucial concepts like “self-reflection,” “convincement,” and “penance” that define Lu Xun, but also proves that it is feasible and meaningful to carry out interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary research on Lu Xun’s writings.

As an important part of quality education in ordinary colleges and universities, public art education plays a very important role in promoting the overall development of college students. In recent years, as the Ministry of Education of China has promulgated a series of policies to promote the development of public art education, the status of public art education courses in the Chinese higher education system has become increasingly prominent and has achieved rapid development. However, although the current research on public art education curriculum in China is gradually increasing, the analysis of the problems in the development of public art education curriculum is still insufficient. In this regard, the author combines the relevant literature research, starting with the four elements of the curriculum, that is, the four dimensions of curriculum objectives, curriculum content, curriculum implementation and teaching evaluation, and conducts a questionnaire survey on the status quo of public art education courses in ordinary universities. The results of the survey found that Chinese colleges and universities have insufficient understanding of the importance of public art education courses and the curriculum objectives; the characteristics of the curriculum content are not obvious, and the education content is relatively out of touch with student needs; the teaching methods are not diversified enough to meet the learning needs of students; There are many problems such as single evaluation method and insufficient evaluation mechanism. Based on the survey results, this article gives relevant suggestions and countermeasures to the problems existing in the current development of public art education courses in Chinese universities, in order to promote the development of public art education courses in Chinese universities.

The Chinese domestic science-fiction blockbuster <Wandering Earth> hit the jackpot among many family movies as a black horse in the Chinese New Year film in 2019. According to the statistics of the China box office website, the total box office during the release period exceeded 4.6 billion. In this way, with its high popularity and word of mouth, it became the box office champion of the Chinese New Year film list. The hot discussion and topic of <Wandering Earth> have aroused Chinese people's cheers and expectations for the arrival of "the first year of Chinese science-fiction movie". Major mainstream media have reported and reprinted "Open a new path for creating Chinese SF movies (XINHUANET)", "The beginning of Chinese science fiction movie (SOHU)", "Highest-grossing movie in the box office reflects the Cultural Identity (CNR News)", and industry evaluations have affirmed the artistic value of the film. The impact of <Wandering Earth> on the Chinese film industry may have gone surpassed the film itself. It has become a phenomenon-level cultural event, has triggered relevant discussions on science and technology, human nature, ethics, national ideology, and Chinese cultural characteristics. As the foundation of China's ‘hard science-fiction’ movie, the novel adaptation of the film <Wandering Earth> will present a grand scene with Chinese elements and Chinese spirit on the big screen with realistic special effects. Even CCTV's <FOCUS REPORT> program also arranged a special report of about 14 minutes to introduce the behind-the-scenes of the film and the attitude of the audience, which affirmed the Chinese spiritual imagination carried by the film. However, such a movie genre of Chinese-style ideological theme that has reached a considerable artistic level seems to have a "Cultural Cognition" barrier in the eyes of overseas audiences, so the response is mediocre. In particular, the Chinese-style rescue plan in which the ending of the film is treated as collectivism has also aroused extensive discussion at home and abroad. This article takes <Wandering Earth> as an example to explore how shows Chinese elements, what cultural barriers and understanding obstacles encountered when Chinese films are promoted in overseas markets, and how to better communicate in cross-cultural communication in the future tell Chinese stories and spread Chinese cultural awareness.
