Nowadays, popular science short videos have become an important carrier of science communication, as well as a focal point and important direction for deepening the content-production reform of science popularization. In this paper, we analyze the creation strategy of short science videos from three dimensions. Firstly, in terms of topic selection, producers can combine national development strategies and policy deployment, pay attention to national scientific and technological innovation achievements, refer to the annual guide for science popularization creation, draw on other large-scale science popularization activities and outstanding science popularization publications, combine current news and social hotspots and daily life, and explore suitable themes for creation. Secondly, as for the titles, one need to pay attention to the type of speech and the flexible use of a variety of sentence patterns and figures of speech, such as metaphors, parody and contrasts. Lastly, for better content presentation, technical advantages are brought into play to maximise the scientific, interesting and artistic nature of the work, enhance its appeal and public influence.

In the era of new media, the creators and disseminators of online popular science content should not blindly follow the trend, but learn to avoid legal risks and safeguard their own rights and interests. The article summarizes and analyzes the legal issues and risks faced by healthcare professionals in the creation and dissemination of live webcasts and short videos of popular medical science, and points out that the production of short videos of medical science should comply with regulations in both form and content, advocating that content creators need to have risk awareness. Finally, legal precautionary measures and ways to defend the rights of content creators are provided.

With the development of mobile Internet technology, new media has become the main means of obtaining information, socializing and entertainment. New media has become important platforms for the creation of popular science content due to its low threshold of content production, speedy transmission, and strong interaction, which has brought great changes to the presentation of popular science content. This paper analyzes the new characteristics of popular science content creation in the era of new media, and the problems in popular science creation, including severe homogeneity, insufficient scientific reliability and inferior business models. In response to these problems, this paper proposes strategies for the creation and its communication of new media popular science.

Video has become an important form of media communication, and popular science communication has also dropped its old-time solemnity through short videos. By selecting typical cases of popular science short videos on Bilibili.com, this paper analyzes the basic features, presentation forms and dissemination effects of popular science short videos, explores the creation features and dissemination laws of the most-viewed popular science short videos, and explains the filling and reconstruction of "knowledge gap" brought by these popular science short videos on Bilibili.com, revealing a new interactive relationship between communicators and receivers.

In the science fiction of late Qing dynasty, the scientific and technological achievements invented by experts and specialists were weaved into the narration in the form of imaginary "things", and became the material cornerstone for novelists to construct the fictional space. In the functional imagination of this "things", the literariness of Late Qing science fiction was weakened by the authors' exaggeration of the performance of "thing", repetition of political theme of "science saving China", and their overt concern of society. Despite of these, the spirit of embracing science and exploring the unknown in these fictional texts still has considerable artistic values.

Tales From The Loop, a science fiction TV drama, conveys the dual emotional tendencies of "depression" and "cure" through the circular and radial narrative structure. Its philosophy derives respectively from the emotional tearing triggered by the tragic conflict and the rational bridging guided by the spirit of tragedy. The science fiction narrative in the TV drama combines technology and emotion very well, which not only shows the human emotion under the influence of science and technology, but also highlights the disenchantment of technology through the power of emotion. The TV drama depicts the twists and turns of life through interactional observation, and enacts the elements of tragedy through the art form of science fiction. The audience could gain spiritual purification through the emotions of "fear" and "pity" displayed in the TV drama. The art form of sci-fi utopia can bring us unusual aesthetic experience.

The intellectuals of the late Qing Dynasty represented by Liang Qichao attached great importance to the communication advantages and social functions of fiction. As a combined product of literature and science, science fiction also naturally assumes the important mission of disseminating scientific knowledge and enlightening the public. However, when specific fictional texts are examined, the complicated understandings of science of the late Qing authors are revealed. It is discovered that many authors either held suspicious views of science, wrote stories against common sense, or believed in the philosophy of religion. These various attitudes, emotions and beliefs represent some common epistemological features during the process of science exploration, signifying progressive values in modern Chinese thought.

Popular science short videos are usually vivid, intuitive and interesting. Compared with traditional media, short videos are more popular among the audience, as they are more in line with the market preferences and the preference of fragmented information of the Internet era, which has led to a change of methods in science popularization and an influx of content creators. Meanwhile, many problems have also arisen. For example, the number of creators is huge, but their content quality is uneven, and the low threshold of this field leads to a motley mixture of creators; many video creators emphasize on knowledge over value, resulting in the growing spread of rumors and pseudoscience amongst the rapid increase of video quantity; the platforms' algorithm fuels the production of "information cocoons", leading creators to create for web traffics and clicks; the lack of proper mechanism of evaluation as a guidance cause a scarcity of quality videos produced by scientists and technicians. Therefore, based on the current development of popular science short videos, the existing advantages, and emerging problems, this article proposes suggestions for the future development of popular science popularization short videos from the perspectives of the creation source, the evaluation mechanism of video quality and effect, and the integration of theory and practice in content creation.
