Drawing on field investigation, historical documents, and spatial analysis, the paper explores how reforms in the salt administration and educational systems reshaped local architectural forms during China's period of social and institutional transformation. The study identifies two distinct modes of spatial transformation. As a newly established administrative institution, the Hedong Salt Administration Audit Sub-bureau adopted a purpose-built architectural model characterized by Western-style spatial organization and functional zoning, reflecting the administrative and residential needs of foreign personnel involved in salt management. In contrast, Hedong Middle School evolved through the gradual expansion and adaptation of the traditional Hedong Academy. Although the original courtyard layout was largely retained, the introduction of classrooms, laboratories, dormitories, and sports facilities transformed the former academy into a modern educational campus. The comparison of these two cases demonstrates that architectural space was not merely a passive physical container, but an active medium through which institutional change became spatially visible.

As an emerging communication medium, self-media videos have become a new carrier for the promotion of Chinese culture. This paper takes 91 popular Chinese culture video texts on YouTube, a leading overseas video platform, as research materials. Through word frequency analysis and TF-IDF analysis, the paper identifies topic words and conducts co-occurrence analysis of topic words to explore the thematic content and emotional attitudes of popular culture videos, so as to provide new ideas for the selection and explanation of themes in international Chinese culture teaching. The study finds that content at the level of cultural history and social life receives high attention and shows positive emotional identity. International Chinese culture teaching can select cultural cases around these hot topics, deepen from the superficial explanation of cultural symbols to the in-depth interpretation of cultural core, and expand from a single language form presentation to multi-modal expression, so as to more effectively convey the connotation of Chinese culture.

This study takes the commonality of traditional cultures in Northeast Asia as the research perspective, and analyzes the transformation issues of intangible cultural heritage in contemporary design and communication. By sorting out relevant theories such as high-context culture, cultural narrative and design communication, and combining with the intangible cultural heritage design practice cases of China, Japan and South Korea, it summarizes the common characteristics of the three countries in implicit expression, situational understanding and cultural integration. This study holds that the design and communication of intangible cultural heritage should follow the basic logic of "cultural core extraction—design expression transformation—communication narrative organization", and explore more suitable intangible cultural heritage design and communication methods for the East Asian context.

In recent years, electrification and intelligent technologies have changed the Design of cars in a very visible and significant way. New energy vehicles (NEVs) do not need a large front engine to serve as the central position of the whole car layout, as they are not traditional gasoline cars. Therefore, the designers have much more flexibility in both the design of the outside and inside. Although there is more freedom in car design now, it has also become more complex. In the past, most of the Design choices were for the mechanical structure and engine placement. Now, designers need to consider aerodynamics, brand image, user experience, intelligent operation, etc., as well as other factors that make people impressed when they first see the car. In short, the future Design of automobiles will need to integrate the trend of "future appeal" with practical application; it is not enough for cars to look good and innovative, but they must also be convenient for people's daily lives.
