With the rapid advancement of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), their potential has gained significant attention in Chinese Classical Studies (CCS). While existing research primarily focuses on text and visual modalities, the audio corpus within this domain remains largely underexplored. To bridge this gap, we introduce the Multi-task Classical Chinese Literary Genre Audio Corpus (MCGA), a 119-hour corpus comprising 22,000 audio samples. It encompasses a diverse range of literary genres across six tasks: Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Speech-to-Text Translation (S2TT), Speech Emotion Captioning (SEC), Spoken Question Answering (SQA), Speech Understanding (SU), and Speech Reasoning (SR). Through the evaluation of ten MLLMs, our experimental results demonstrate that current MLLMs still face substantial challenges on the MCGA test set. Furthermore, we introduce a domain-specific metric for SEC and a metric to measure the consistency between speech and text capabilities. We release MCGA to the public to facilitate the development of more robust MLLMs. MCGA Corpus: https://github.com/yxduir/MCGA

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is widely used to ground large language models (LLMs) in external knowledge and improve factual accuracy. Prior work has explored iterative and self-reflective mechanisms to refine reasoning, but these approaches rely on internal model judgment and lack formally grounded, verifiable feedback. As a result, RAG systems may still produce logically inconsistent or contradictory answers in multi-step reasoning. In this paper, we propose LCR-RAG, a framework that integrates neuro-symbolic verification with reinforcement learning to explicitly optimize logical consistency. The core of our approach is a Logic-Consistency-driven Reward (LCR), which converts discrete logical signals—such as contradictions or incomplete inference chains—into a structured reward signal. This reward guides a PPO-based agent to iteratively rewrite queries and correct reasoning errors. Experiments on HotpotQA, ASQA, and TriviaQA show that LCR-RAG consistently outperforms strong RAG baselines, with ablation results indicating that the LCR mechanism is the primary source of improvement, even under noisy or conflicting retrieval conditions.
