Second, it is necessary to closely follow social hotissues and actively conduct research on specialized subjects. Third, it is necessary to break down the barriers between teaching and scientific research, allowing scientific research to inform teaching and teaching to promote scientific research, achieving the coordinated development and mutual improvement of both.
