“…The MSR is a maritime trade route that starts from Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and other cities on the southeast coast of China and ends at several major ports on the east coast of Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, including Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, countries along the Persian Gulf, Egypt and other places [23]. As shown in Figure 1, the 21st-century MSR has main sea routes divided into various branches.…”

The Maritime Silk Road (MSR) is an important channel for maritime trade between China and other countries in the world. Maritime piracy has brought huge security risks to ships’ navigation and has seriously threatened the lives and property of crew members. To reduce the likelihood of attacks from pirates, it is necessary to study the risk to a ship exposed to attacks from pirates on the MSR. Firstly, risk factors were established from three risk component categories (hazard, mitigation capacity, and vulnerability and exposure) and the risk index system of piracy and armed robbery events was founded. Secondly, the dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) method was introduced to establish a pirate attack risk assessment model ad to conduct a quantitative analysis of the process risk of a ship being attacked by pirates. Finally, combined with the scene data of the MSR, the process risk of a ship being attacked by pirates was modeled and applied as an example. The results showed that the overall risk of a ship being attacked by pirates is the lowest in July and the highest in March. In the whole route, when the ship was in the Gulf of Guinea, the Gulf of Aden–Arabian Sea, and the Strait of Malacca, the risk of pirate attack was the highest. This dynamic network model can effectively analyze the level of risk of pirate attacks on ships, providing a reference for the safety decision-making of ships on ocean routes.

“…By establishing visual language norms, we can better ensure the expression effect and communication effect of visual language, so as to improve the efficiency and quality of visual communication, protect and inherit cultural heritage, promote cultural exchange and integration, and promote cultural innovation and development. We should pay attention to the establishment of visual language norms, and strengthen the formulation and implementation of norms through various ways, so as to better utilize visual language as a means of expression and promote the development and progress of society [17].…”

The Silk Road was an important channel for cultural exchange between the East and the West in ancient times, and its cultural diffusion deeply influenced the world. This article analyzes and reflects on the visual language in the cultural transmission of the Silk Road, discussing its role in promoting cultural exchange, cultural diversity, enhancing cultural confidence, and other aspects. At the same time, suggestions are also made on how to use visual language for cultural exchange in contemporary cultural communication.

The container shipping network has evolved with the development of trade, but the mechanism of its evolution is still not well studied. Link prediction model is one of the main methods used to study the network evolution. The classic indicators of the link prediction model only consider the structural characteristics of the network, but there are also real factors that can influence the evolution of the network. Therefore, this paper considers the structural characteristics of the network as an endogenous index, which includes common neighbors, Adamic–Adar, resource allocation, and so forth. Considering the factors that may affect the link between the ports, such as sailing distance, operation, economy, and political factors, this paper first develops different attractiveness models and determines an optimal attractiveness model in case analysis. After that, this paper proposes a composite index that combines endogenous and attractiveness indices. Taking the Maritime Silk Road (MSR) shipping network as an example, an optimal attractiveness index and then an optimal composite index are determined. It was found that the prediction accuracy under the composite index is improved compared with single indices, which confirms the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed index. Finally, from the perspective of the overall network, this paper discusses the possible future routes of the shipping network with the aim of providing a reference for the improvement of connectivity of the shipping network and planning new routes for shipping companies.
