Abstract

Live video streaming is a new form of network communication for the real-time interaction between network hosts and audiences. Its application has brought much convenience to people’s study, work, and life, and has simultaneously caused some phenomena against public order and good deeds. From the perspective of epistemology, they are the consequences of human’s cognitive fragmentation, superficiality, and human’s uncontrolled self-discipline ability. In order to fundamentally reduce or avoid the occurrence of these social problems caused by live video streaming, the key points might be not only supervising and guiding live video streaming in time, but also improving the participants’, especially juveniles’ abilities of rational judgment and self-discipline through providing them with specific publicity and education. In this aspect, the thoughts of “observing things by Heart” and “emotion dominated by rationality” in traditional Chinese culture can be fully used to strengthen the assessment and governance of phenomena in live video streaming.
