Consumption presents a new hot spot, and the consumer market is more active and stronger.

  The National Day holiday is coming to an end, and the consumer market is booming, showing new characteristics.

  Wang Bin, deputy director of the Consumption Promotion Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said that this year’s National Day holiday consumption has highlighted four major trends compared with previous years, namely, local consumption, peripheral consumption and home consumption have become new hotspots; Green consumption, smart consumption and healthy consumption are more popular; The demand for personalization and quality has increased, and the heat of high-end consumption has not decreased; Online and offline integration will be accelerated, and the demand for experiential and scene-based consumption will continue to increase. "Consumption will continue to recover steadily in October and even throughout the fourth quarter. It is estimated that the total amount of social zero in the whole year is expected to reach 44 trillion yuan, an increase of about 12.5% over 2020 and an increase of about 8% over 2019. " Wang Bin said.

  Products with high quality and beautiful price, convenient and fast service and rich individual experience will accelerate the release of consumption potential and foster a more active and stronger consumer market.

  Buy and produce texture

  Products are better and services are more intimate.

  "During the National Day holiday, the sales of flowers increased significantly." The person in charge of the procurement of Box Horse Garden said that decorating life with flowers has become one of the ways for consumers to improve their quality of life. "We stocked a lot of tulips through the Yunnan base before the festival. The first batch of tulips were of high quality and sold well. They were sold as soon as they were listed, and hydrangeas and sunflowers were also very popular." From October 1 ST to 4 th, the sales volume of flowers in Box Horse Garden increased by 290% year-on-year.

  Ensuring the quality of goods is the most basic demand of consumers. In order to improve the quality, some supermarkets have made more efforts in market research, product procurement and even research and development, and strive to introduce more fine products and "explosions".

  "This portable tooth washer is selling well at present. The domestic oral care market has grown rapidly, and the oral care products of the public have been upgraded from toothbrushes and dental floss to electric toothbrushes and tooth flushers. " Zhu Lin, general manager of Tmall Personal Care Department, said. The sales of consumption-upgrading products such as cosmetics, electronic products and personal care products in major e-commerce platforms maintained rapid growth.

  In a Gome store in Haidian District, Beijing, the reporter saw that many consumers came to consult the "old for green" activity. "We jointly launched an activity with air-conditioning companies to replace the air conditioners eliminated in users’ homes with new energy-efficient standard air conditioners, and the number of consumers who went to the store for consultation and purchase during the National Day holiday increased significantly." The relevant person in charge of the store said, "In the past, people paid more attention to the price. In recent years, with the upgrading of consumption, energy-saving, smart and healthy home appliances are more popular. "

  Zhao Ping, vice president of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Research Institute, said: "At present, the pace of upgrading China’s consumption structure is accelerating. On the one hand, commodity consumption is upgrading from low-end to high-end, on the other hand, commodity consumption is also upgrading to service consumption. "

  Commodities like flowers need merchants to have good fresh-keeping storage conditions, fast logistics and transportation capacity and meticulous after-sales service. "When sent with flowers, there are often detailed maintenance instructions." A consumer who often buys flowers, fruits, seafood and other goods online said that if the quality of the goods is not good, he will immediately apply for a return, and Shangchao often responds quickly and makes a refund or compensation.

  The relevant person in charge of public comment analyzed the data and found that the service quality played an obvious role in driving the sales of offline businesses. Zhao Ping believes that as China’s consumption scale continues to expand, it is necessary to further improve the supply quality of products and services, organically combine expanding consumption with improving people’s quality of life, promote the creation of a high-quality consumption supply system, and guide enterprises to increase the supply of cost-effective goods and services to better meet the high-end consumer demand of residents.

  Buy a new experience

  The scene is richer and the atmosphere is more immersive.

  Today, online shopping is convenient and fast. Where is the charm of offline shopping?

  During the National Day holiday, in the National Cultural Industry Demonstration Park of Nanbin Road, Nan ‘an District, Chongqing, the exhibition of the former Art Museum attracted many citizens to visit. "I heard a long time ago that sneakers jointly designed by artists and brands will be exhibited offline here." Liu Zikai, 21, loves collecting sneakers. "We sneaker lovers have been waiting for a long time."

  Liu Zikai said: "Through the visit, I have a deeper understanding of the design and cultural expression of these shoes. I must buy some pairs to collect at home."

  In addition to co-branded sneakers, you can also buy masks, scarves and other commodities with the same theme on the spot. Many citizens bought several pieces after watching the exhibition. "If we only sell handicrafts, it will be too far away from ordinary consumers, so we set up a cultural and creative product exhibition area on the first floor." According to the relevant person in charge of the former Art Museum, different from the traditional business model, they have explored in the field of art consumption, and many brands will choose to release their products here because many consumers like unique experiences.

  At the other end of Nanbin Road, Bainian Old Street just held an autumn and winter clothing conference. "Nowadays, a single consumption environment can no longer meet the needs of customers, and we hope to involve consumers." The person in charge of the event said that in addition to online live broadcast, the site also provided services such as follow-up and styling design. For example, on the day of the event, they invited 10 customers to walk on the catwalk, and Ms. Zhang was one of them. "In the century-old street, wearing fashionable clothes and showing yourself under the rhythm of music and lighting is very special, and some things are still unfinished." Ms. Zhang said.

  Nan ‘an District, by establishing Nanbin Road National Cultural Industry Demonstration Park, is trying to promote the organic integration of characteristic cultural resources and cultural industries, cultivate new cultural formats and cultural consumption patterns, and build Nanbin Road into a highland for cultural industry transformation and upgrading.

  "In recent years, experience has become an increasingly important factor for consumers." Mo Yuanming, a researcher at chongqing technology and business university Chengdu-Chongqing Shuangcheng Economic Circle Collaborative Development Center, believes that the market is actively responding to this new demand. Integrated development is becoming a new consumption trend, that is, through the integration of culture and tourism, economy and technology, consumption and culture, to create a brand-new comprehensive consumption carrier. "To promote the development of the retail industry, it is particularly important to shape new consumption scenarios. Through integration and experience, the organic combination of retail, cultural industry and service industry is the essence of shaping new consumption scenes. " Mo Yuanming said.

  Buy out personalization

  The demand is more unique and the market is more subdivided.

  A trendy shop in Zhengjia Square, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province was crowded, and the trend toys with "Chinese style" were placed in the exhibition area, which attracted many guests to stop and take photos. Zeng Qingyuan was one of them. After careful selection, he picked up a cat ornament and prepared to check out. "It’s festive and beautiful, and it’s cool at home."

  Mr. Lin, who lined up behind Zeng Qingyuan, bought building blocks with children who were in the fifth grade. "Children liked the movie The Wandering Earth before, and now they have the building blocks with this theme, and he immediately took a fancy to it."

  "We are promoting the Guofeng Building Block Festival, cooperating with domestic designers to design local building blocks, and introducing them to consumers more intensively through the combination of stores and exhibitions." Cai Jianping, the store manager, said that these products were sold out soon after they went online, and many guests made a special trip to ask when to replenish them.

  Some people like chasing trendy toys, while others like visiting thrift stores. In Chaoyang District, Beijing, Li Bo, a citizen, used his holiday to shop at the limited-time second-hand shop in Sanlitun. Here, you can find second-hand books and many second-hand clothes in various fields. There is also a tailor shop in the shop. "If you find the clothes you like, you can change clothes for free on the spot if it is not suitable." Li Bo said. A consumer said that in addition to meeting the needs of environmental protection, second-hand shops can often bring the pleasure of "treasure hunting", such as finding other people’s reading notes in books, as if they were communicating with the last reader across time and space.

  Whether it is a trendy shop or a second-hand shop, or a variety of special live broadcast rooms, we can see that the market is showing a segmentation trend in a more colorful state, making it easier for consumers to meet their individual needs.

  It is worth noting that the emerging new formats and new fields need more in-place supervision.

  "For example, in the second-hand commodity market, sellers need to provide detailed information. The government or third-party institutions should let consumers know about the purchased goods as much as possible through awards and qualification recognition to ensure the information symmetry of both parties." He Jiang, director of the Institute of International Business of Guangzhou Academy of Social Sciences, believes that in the development of new formats, there may be some problems such as false propaganda and unreasonable service, and because the regulatory authorities are inexperienced in new formats, and these fields are often complicated in terms of objects and contents, it is more difficult to supervise. "Supervision should run through all aspects of production and consumption. On the one hand, improve quality supervision and strengthen the credit system construction of merchants; On the other hand, it is also necessary to establish a post-consumer evaluation system, record and publish consumer feedback in a timely manner, and enhance the convenience of consumers’ rights protection, so that consumers can buy both. " He Jiang said.

Cambrian listing: what is the difference between AI chip and ordinary chip? All the global AI chip companies are here.

Editor’s note: This article is from Tencent Technology (ID:qqtech), written by Zach Xiaosheng, and reproduced by Entrepreneurship.

The highlight of NPU(AI chip) and GPU (common chip) is that they can run multiple parallel threads. NPU takes it to another level through some special hardware-level optimizations, such as providing some easily accessible cache systems for some truly different processing cores. These high-capacity cores are simpler than the usual "conventional" processors because they don’t need to perform many types of tasks.

On July 20th, CAMBRIAN was officially listed in A-share science and technology innovation board, becoming the first AI chip, which aroused heated discussion and concern in the industry.

According to relevant data, there are more than 1,500 IC design enterprises in China. However, there are fewer companies with AI chips, and there are only more than 20 companies. Among these AI chip companies, CAMBRIAN is the most prominent, especially the recent IPO, and the stock of Kechuang soared on the first day of listing. So what is AI chip, and how is it different from our ordinary CPU?

From the perspective of principle logic, AI processor is a special chip, which combines artificial intelligence technology and machine learning, making the mobile device of the chip smart enough to imitate the human brain, which is used to optimize the work of deep learning AI, and is also a system using multiple processors with specific functions. The ordinary chip (ordinary cpu) is packaged in a smaller chip package, which is designed to support mobile applications and provide all the system functions needed to support mobile device applications.

Most of the time, the marketing teams of major companies find the word AI (artificial intelligence) very "advanced and gorgeous", so they bind it to almost any possible commercial use. So, you must have heard of it

"Artificial Intelligence Chip" is actually a renamed version of NPU (Neuroprocessing Unit). These are special types of ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which are designed to widely apply machine learning in the mobile market.

These ASIC have a special architecture design, which enables them to execute the machine learning model faster, instead of unloading data to the server and waiting for its response. This execution may not be so powerful, but it will be faster because there are fewer obstacles between the data and the processing center.

Generally speaking, we can understand that NPU is AI chip and ordinary chip is CPU.

The CPU will work well in a general load environment, because it has a high IPC, which can be executed through many serial ports. And the CPU follows the Von Neumann architecture, and its core is to store programs and execute them sequentially. The architecture of CPU needs a lot of space to put storage unit (Cache) and Control unit (control unit). Compared with it, the computing unit only occupies a small part, so it is extremely limited in the ability of large-scale parallel computing and is better at logical control.

The highlight of NPU and GPU is that they can run multiple parallel threads. NPU takes it to another level through some special hardware-level optimizations, such as providing some easily accessible cache systems for some truly different processing cores. These high-capacity cores are simpler than the usual "conventional" processors because they don’t need to perform many types of tasks. This whole set of "optimization" makes NPU more efficient, which is why so much research and development will be invested in ASIC.

Machine learning model processing requires CPU, DSP, GPU and NPU to be synchronized at the same time, which is because many chip processing units are working together. But it also explains why such execution is "heavy" for mobile devices.

One of the advantages of NPU is that most of the time is focused on low-precision algorithms, new data flow architecture or memory computing power. Unlike GPUs, they are more concerned with throughput than latency.

Of course, AI algorithm is very important. In image recognition and other fields, CNN convolution network, speech recognition, natural language processing and other fields are commonly used, mainly RNN, which are two different algorithms. However, in essence, they are all multiplication and addition of matrices or vector, and then cooperate with some algorithms such as division and exponent.

In addition, a mature AI algorithm is optimized for specific mathematics of convolution operation and weighted summation. This process is very fast. It is like a GPU without graphics hardware. For the AI chip, if the specific target size is determined, then the total number of multiplication and addition calculations is determined. For example, a trillion times, for example, if I run a program with an AI chip, I can have a meal, and the CPU needs to run for several weeks. No commercial company will waste time.

In addition to the CAMBRIAN, there are also these well-known AI chip companies in China, such as Bitcontinent, Horizon, Tianxin Zhixin, Yizhi Electronics, Exploration Technology, Suiyuan Technology, Hisilicon, Jianan Technology, etc., all of which have experienced the actual landing inspection period from 2015 to the present, before they get to the present situation. The products of each company are also unique, with their own styles in power consumption, performance and application scenarios, which can occupy a place in the vast market of China.

China AI chip company is in a development boom. What about the development of foreign AI chips? Now let’s look at the companies that we think are the top developers of artificial intelligence chips, although there is no specific order-just those companies that have demonstrated their technology and have put it into production or will put it into production soon. The details are as follows:

1. Alphabet (Google’s parent company)

Google’s parent company urges the development of artificial intelligence technology in many fields, including cloud computing, data centers, mobile devices and desktop computers. Perhaps the most noteworthy is its Tensor Processing Unit, which is an ASIC specially designed for Google’s TensorFlow programming framework, mainly used for two branches of AI, machine learning and deep learning.

Google’s Cloud TPU is used in data centers or cloud solutions, and its size is equivalent to a credit card, but the Edge TPU is a coin with a size less than one cent, which is specially designed for some specific devices. Nevertheless, analysts who observe this market more closely say that Google’s Edge TPU is unlikely to appear on the company’s own smartphones and tablets in the short term, and it is more likely to be used in higher-end, enterprise and expensive machines and equipment.

2. Apple

Apple has been developing its own arm chips for many years, and may eventually stop using suppliers such as Intel. Apple has basically got rid of the entanglement with Qualcomm, and it really seems determined to go its own way in the field of artificial intelligence in the future.

The company uses A13 "bionic" chips on the latest iphone and ipad. The chip uses Apple’s neural engine, which is part of the circuit and cannot be used by third-party applications. A13 bionic chip is faster and consumes less power than the previous version. According to reports, A14 version is currently in production and may appear on more mobile devices of the company this year.

3. ARM

The chip design produced by Arm (ArmHoldings) has been adopted by all prominent technology manufacturers including Apple. As a chip designer, it doesn’t make its own chips, which gives it some advantages, just like Microsoft doesn’t make its own computers. In other words, Arm has great influence in the market. The company is currently developing artificial intelligence chip design along three main directions: Project Trillium, an "ultra-efficient" and scalable new processor with the goal of machine learning applications; Machine learning processor, which is self-evident; Arm NN is the abbreviation of neural network, which is a processor for processing TensorFlow, Caffe is a deep learning framework, and there are other structures.

4. Intel

As early as 2016, according to the Wall Street Journal, the chip giant Intel announced the acquisition of the startup NervanaSystems, and Intel will acquire the company’s software, cloud computing services and hardware, so that the products can better adapt to the development of artificial intelligence. But its artificial intelligence chip series is called "neural network processor": artificial neural network imitates the working mode of human brain and learns through experience and examples, which is why you often hear that machines and deep learning systems need "training". With the previous release of Nervana, it seems that Intel will give priority to solving problems related to natural language processes and deep learning.

5. Nvidia (NVIDIA)

In the GPU market, we mentioned that GPU can handle artificial intelligence tasks much faster than CPU, and Nvidia seems to be in a prominent position. Similarly, the company seems to have gained an advantage in the nascent artificial intelligence chip market. These two technologies seem to be closely related, and NVIDIA’s progress in GPU will help accelerate the development of its artificial intelligence chip. In fact, gpu seems to be the support of Nvidia artificial intelligence products, and its chipset can be called artificial intelligence accelerator. Jetson Xavier was released in 2018, and Huang Renxun, CEO of Jetson Xavier, said at a news conference: "This small computer will become the brain of future robots".

Deep learning seems to be NVIDIA’s main interest. Deep learning is a higher level of machine learning. You can think of machine learning as short-term learning with relatively limited data sets, while deep learning uses a large amount of data collected over a long period of time to return results, which in turn are designed to solve deeper and potential problems.

6. AMD (Ultramicro Semiconductor)

Like NVIDIA, AMD is another chip manufacturer closely related to graphics cards and GPUs, partly due to the growth of the computer game market in the past few decades and the growth of the bitcoin mining industry. AMD provides hardware and software solutions, such as machine learning and deep learning of EPYC cpu and Radeon Instinct gpu. Epyc is the processor name provided by AMD for servers (mainly used in data centers), while Radeon is a graphics processor mainly for gamers. Other chips provided by AMD include Ryzen, and perhaps the more famous Athlon. It seems that the company is still in a relatively early stage in the development of artificial intelligence-specific chips, but in view of its relative strength in the GPU field, observers believe that it will become one of the leaders in this market. AMD has signed a contract to provide Epyc and Radeon systems to the U.S. Department of Energy to build one of the fastest and most powerful supercomputers in the world, which is called "Frontier".

7. Qualcomm (Qualcomm)

Qualcomm made a lot of money from the cooperation with Apple at the beginning of the smartphone craze, and Qualcomm may feel left out in the cold about Apple’s decision to stop buying its chips. Of course, Qualcomm itself is not a small company in this field, and considering the future, it has been making some major investments.

Last year, Qualcomm released a new "cloud artificial intelligence chip", which seems to be related to its development in the fifth generation telecommunications network (5G). These two technologies are considered to be the basis for building a new ecosystem of self-driving cars and mobile computing devices. Analysts said that Qualcomm is a latecomer in the field of artificial intelligence chips, but the company has rich experience in the mobile device market, which will help realize its goal of "making artificial intelligence on devices everywhere".

Of course, other large international companies, such as Samsung, TSMC, Facebook, IBM and LG, are also developing their own AI chips. Whoever can master the cutting-edge AI chips first will get a slice of the new economic rising trend.

The reality described by the marketing departments of major companies is completely different from the reality outside those companies. Although decades of research have given us new ways to process information and classify input, which is faster than ever, there is no real AI in the hardware we buy, so which chip company can seize the market pain point and realize the application first, it can gain a great advantage on the track of artificial intelligence chips.

At present, the global artificial intelligence industry is still in a high-speed development, and the distribution of different industries provides a broad market prospect for the application of artificial intelligence. The commercialized society needs the application of artificial intelligence. AI chip is the hardware foundation for realizing the algorithm, and it is also the strategic commanding height of the future artificial intelligence era, and all the top companies in the world will fight for it. However, because the current AI algorithms often have their own advantages and disadvantages, only by setting a suitable scene for them can they best play their role. I also hope that AI can enter the sight of ordinary people this morning.

From the perspective of industrial development, it is still in the primary stage of artificial intelligence chips, and there is extraordinary room for innovation in both scientific research and commercial applications. In the application scenario, the AI chip with iterative algorithm develops into a general intelligent chip with higher flexibility and adaptability, which is the inevitable direction of technology development. Less computing bit width of neural network parameters, more customized design of distributed memory, more sparse large-scale vector realization, higher computing efficiency, smaller volume and higher energy efficiency in complex heterogeneous environment, the integration of computing and storage will become the main characteristics and development trend of artificial intelligence chips in the future.

A canal shows the creativity of Jiangsu’s humanistic beauty.

  Millennium Canal, rushing endlessly.

  In June 2017, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made an important instruction that "the Grand Canal is a precious legacy left by our ancestors and a mobile culture, which should be well protected, inherited and utilized". This has pointed out the direction and provided guidance for promoting the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt.

Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Suzhou Hanshan Temple Section

  Jiangsu is the province with the longest river along the Grand Canal, the largest number of cities flowing through it, the richest canal heritage and the largest number of sites listed in the World Cultural Heritage. The Grand Canal in China is about 3,200 kilometers long and the Jiangsu section is 790 kilometers long. It can be said that the Grand Canal is a living exhibition hall of Jiangsu culture, a bright pearl of world heritage and a beautiful green corridor.

  Over the past three years, Jiangsu has kept in mind the entrustment of the General Secretary, made every effort to promote the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt, and made three major articles: careful protection, effective inheritance and rational utilization. On the basis of protection, efforts will be made to promote the innovative inheritance and creative transformation of the Grand Canal culture, endow the Grand Canal with new characteristics of the times and cultural values, and make a river show the beauty of culture, ecology, construction and people’s life, thus writing a contemporary chapter for the Millennium Grand Canal.

  Let’s take a look at the wonderful cases in 11 cities along the Jiangsu section of the Grand Canal — —

  Xuzhou: Huaihai Campaign Martyrs Memorial Tower (Pavilion)

  The Xuzhou section of the Grand Canal is 201 kilometers long. Prehistoric civilization, Chu-Han culture, red culture and celebrity culture are listed on both sides of the canal like pearls. During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Xuzhou was an important guerrilla area of the famous anti-Japanese armed canal detachment active on both sides of the canal; On January 10, 1949, the 65-day Huaihai Campaign ended successfully in Xuzhou, killing more than 555,000 people. Today’s Huaihai Campaign Memorial Hall is a famous patriotic education base and a red tourist attraction in China, and it has been selected as one of the 100 "classic red tourist attractions" in China. The names of 28,396 martyrs are engraved in the stele gallery of the Martyrs Memorial Tower in the museum. Since 2014, the Memorial Hall has started the "Rescue Interview Project for the Witnesses of Huaihai Campaign", which lasted for three years, covering 729 witnesses, collecting more than 1,200 pieces of historical cultural relics and sorting out 2 million words of oral materials. The narrator went to colleges and universities to give a lecture on "Red Stories on Campus" and went into primary and secondary schools to tell red stories, with a total of 160,000 students being taught.

  Suqian: Longwang Temple Palace

  In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River for six times and stayed in Suqian for five times, which gave him the praise of "the benefits of being the first mountain in spring". Today, the Qianlong Palace, where Qianlong stayed at that time, originally named "Building Longwang Temple in An Lan", is still well preserved. It is the most precious architectural cultural heritage in Suqian and the only world cultural heritage site in Suqian section of the Grand Canal.

  Zaohe Ancient Town, where Longwang Temple Palace is located, is an important town in the south wing of the Grand Canal. In recent years, Suqian has invested about 150 million yuan to protect and develop the history and culture of Zaohe Ancient Town as a whole. The Longwang Temple Palace has been protected and repaired in three phases, and the fallen colored paintings have been repaired. In August this year, the construction of "Zaohe Dragon Town" was started. The overall layout of "One Source, Three Veins and Ten Crossing" highlighted the immersion experience, performing road show and cultural exhibition, and recorded and told the long canal story in Suqian. The ancient Longwang Temple Palace glowed with new vitality of the times. Visitors here will fully appreciate the water control culture, shipping culture and royal cruise culture of Suqian section of the Grand Canal.

  Huaian: Shuishang Interchange

Water Interchange (Photo courtesy of vision china)

  In the Ming Dynasty, Pan Jixun, a water conservancy expert, led the construction of dikes on the east bank of Hongze Lake to raise the water level, so as to form a torrent to wash away the sediment deposited in Qingkou of the Yellow River. Over the past 400 years, more than 40 water conservancy projects have been formed here, including dikes, gates, dams, weirs and diversion piers. Nowadays, when people come to the water interchange in the southern suburbs of Huai ‘an, they can see the wonders of the Huaihe River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The Huaihe River flows to the Yellow Sea from west to east on the riverbed below, hanging 6 meters above it, and ships shuttle on the north-south Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is a busy scene. The ancient canal and advanced modern technology meet here, and the wisdom of water control of China people for more than 400 years is presented here.

  The Grand Canal has been flowing for thousands of years, forming a golden waterway with flowing gold and silver, and also accumulating historical and cultural relics on both sides of the strait. The annual throughput of Huai ‘an Shiplock is nearly 290 million tons, ranking first in China. Huai ‘an took the lead in opening port container transportation in Subei Canal, with annual throughput accounting for 75% of the province’s inland rivers.

  Yangzhou: China Grand Canal Museum

   As the origin city of the Grand Canal and the leading city for applying for the World Heritage of the Canal, Yangzhou was born and prospered because of the Canal.

  In May, 2018, Zhang Jinqiu, academician of China Academy of Engineering and chief architect of China Northwest Architectural Design and Research Institute, led a team to visit Sanwan in Yangzhou, and personally drew the first planning pattern of China Grand Canal Museum. In May 2019, the China Grand Canal Museum started construction in Yangzhou.

  The whole design scheme consists of the museum and the main tower. The main tower with four corners (Universiade Tower) is slender and beautiful, and together with the adjacent Wenfeng Tower and Tianzhong Tower, it forms the landscape effect of "three towers reflecting three bays". The boat-shaped museum building incorporates sail elements, and the top floor is connected with the Universiade Tower through a covered bridge with Changhong lying wave image. The whole building has the ancient charm of tang style, suggesting that Yangzhou once had a prosperous scene of "promoting one and benefiting two" in the Tang Dynasty.

  At present, the exhibition contents of China Grand Canal Museum are under intense arrangement, which will include the 2,500-year development of Sui and Tang Grand Canal, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and East Zhejiang Canal, and it is expected to open to the outside world by the end of 2021.

  Zhenjiang: Xijindu

  Xijindu has been a battleground for military strategists since the Three Kingdoms, and it is also the first stop for northerners to cross the river south. With the change of time, Guguazhou on the north bank has all collapsed in the river, while sedimentation has begun on the south bank. Xijin Gudu is now more than 300 meters away from the Yangtze River. Although the ancient ferry is no longer there, the "living fossil"-like ancient scenery of Xijindu has been basically preserved.

  Today’s Xijindu is both ancient and new: in terms of ancient times, Xijindu historical and cultural block is the most preserved, concentrated and well-preserved area in Zhenjiang, and many buildings are called "orphans" in Jiangsu and even the whole country. Today, cutting-edge artists and young craftsmen creatively integrate the trend culture into the Millennium ancient street. In 2020, Xijindu created an art life festival that lasted for five months. At the same time, Xijindu also implanted new formats such as cultural creativity, water market and interactive experience, and projects and activities such as music, film and television blocks and national wind music festivals, reappearing the bustling scene of "home from the sky, the clouds are sailing". 

  Changzhou: Qingguo Lane

  Qingguo Lane, known as "the first lane of celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River", is one of the most important cultural landmarks in Changzhou section of the Grand Canal. Qingguo Lane is not long, but there are countless outstanding figures between the white walls and the high walls and deep courtyards: in the Ming and Qing Dynasties alone, there were nearly 100 scholars from Qingguo Lane; In modern times, industrialist Sheng Xuanhuai, novelist Li Boyuan, patriotic industrialist Liu Guojun, master of Chinese studies Zhao Yuanren, linguist Zhou Youguang and other famous people all walked out of Qingguo Lane.

  Deep curtilage compound is adjacent, flowing water sets each other off, and the depths of the alley are faint. On April 29th last year, the historical block of Qingguoxiang, which carried half of Changzhou’s history, was officially opened. Qingguoxiang Cultural Memory Museum, Zhou Youguang Library (Zhou Youguang’s former residence), Changzhou League History Museum, Tang Jingchuan Memorial Hall and Shi Liang’s former residence were opened one after another. The A side of Qingguo Lane, based on inheritance and taking culture as the soul, has formed the Changzhou Cultural Museum community; The B side of Qingguo Lane, based on the "future", innovates the format and content around the futurity, cosmopolitanism and times of the canal.

  Wuxi: Qingming Bridge

  More than 3,200 years ago, Taibo Benwu settled in Meili, and the oldest canal in the south of the Yangtze River, Bodu Port, was dug in the historical and cultural block of Qingming Bridge, which reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty.

  The Qingming Bridge block, where boats and boats come and go constantly, has formed a unique cultural feature of the streets in the south of the Yangtze River, convenient conditions for water transportation, and nurtured the civilization of China’s national industry and commerce.

  The rice wharf and cloth wharf, which were developed and prospered by the canal in those years, are now full of creative and intelligent industries, with more than 2,000 Internet of Things enterprises and an output value of more than 200 billion yuan, which has become the highlight moment of Wuxi’s science and technology industry. In recent years, Wuxi has won the brand title of "Jiangnan Water Lane Canal Out of Print" by hosting a number of grand events such as the second Grand Canal Cultural Tourism Expo. Qingming Bridge, Nanchang Street, nanzenji, Xiaolou Lane, Chong’an Temple, Jieguanting Lane, Huangbudun, Beijian Park and other scattered scenic spots are "beaded into a chain and closed into a ring", showing the beautiful scenery of "a thousand-mile canal alone".

  A history of canals, a picture of bustling Suzhou. The Suzhou section of the Grand Canal was built in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was basically finalized in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In 825 AD, Bai Juyi arrived in Suzhou for secretariat. Seeing that the Huqiu River road was impassable, he dug the Shantang River and built a "water expressway" between the ancient city of Suzhou, Huqiu and the Grand Canal. Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River six times, and every time he went out along the Lishantang to Huqiu. In 2014, the 14.2-square-kilometer Suzhou ancient city was listed as a world cultural heritage.

  From Qilishantang to Huqiu, the rich canal resources have made "the first street in Gusu" prosperous for thousands of years. In recent years, Suzhou has built a "Suzhou model" of the Grand Canal cultural belt around protection, inheritance and utilization, and took the lead in setting up the first Grand Canal cultural tourism development fund in the province, establishing a key project library of the Grand Canal cultural belt, inheriting the context in a way of "living protection" and showing the cultural essence of the south of the Yangtze River. Today, Shantang Historic District has become a tourist punch-in resort, and the Kunqu Opera special activities staged in Huqiu Scenic Area have become a new business card for Soviet-style life.

  About 4 kilometers west of Lishui District, Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, dug the Rouge River to communicate the water transportation between Nanjing and Zhejiang. The Rouge River is 7.5 kilometers long, and hundreds of thousands of migrant workers burned stones to dig the river, which took ten years to build. The Rouge River runs through the mountains, leaving a rare spectacle in the world — — Tianshengqiao In 2017, the Canal Culture Exhibition Hall located in the scenic spot — — Tianshengqiao Museum was officially opened to the public. Around the cultural heritage of water transportation and the historical and cultural resources along the canal, the exhibition hall set up a number of interactive exhibition areas, taking cruise ships as the visiting carrier and relying on the 5D interactive experience technology, so that visitors can feel the digging history of Rouge River in an immersive way.

  The night of Fengcheng River, the more beautiful it is. Taking Wanghailou as the prospect, the 3D water curtain show was staged on the water stage of Sanshuiwan, creating a dazzling fantasy effect on the ancient canal. In Wenlv block of Jing ‘an Road, night tours, night markets, night plays, night shows and night banquets light up the night economy along the canal, where people experience slow life on water, culture and food, and feel the unique charm of this canal water city.

  The canal has given Nantong a long history of cultural spirit and brought it modern civilization. In 1895, Zhang Jian, a patriotic industrialist and educator, took a fancy to the superior geographical position of Tangzha ancient town near the canal and built a large cotton textile enterprise — — Dasheng cotton mill, and set up a series of subsidiary industries with this as the axis.

  Today, Tangzha Ancient Town has become the vanguard in the new era to carry forward the spiritual connotation of the canal and highlight the self-confidence of Jianghai culture. The mottled factory turned into a cultural and creative industrial park in 1895, where the oil mill and paper mill attached to Dasheng Cotton Mill were located. The industrial park has attracted more than 40 creative design, digital media, advertising and video production companies to settle in, and has held various literary exhibitions for a long time. In the past few years, countless creative exhibitions have been held here: from root carving to Ming and Qing furniture, from book tickets to ink and oil paints, from home textile products to jade carving pendants, and even a small-scale tasting meeting was held in cross-border cooperation with Sam Supermarket. Thanks to the 1895 Cultural and Creative Industrial Park, the development of Tangzha ancient town is more vigorous and its external attraction is constantly improved.

  "Six Ones" of Jiangsu Canal

  A law

  Since January 1st, 2020, the first local regulation "Decision of the Standing Committee of Jiangsu Provincial People’s Congress on Promoting the Construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt" has been implemented in China, providing legal protection for cultural heritage protection, adhering to the ecological bottom line and expanding the cultural tourism industry. As the only pilot province of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park in China, Jiangsu has also innovatively compiled the Construction Plan of Jiangsu Section of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park, which promotes the Grand Canal culture to show new charm and glow with new vitality through the organic docking of historical value and practical value.

  An exposition

  The Grand Canal Cultural Tourism Expo, which has been held twice so far, integrates the cultural tourism resources along the Grand Canal in Jiangsu Province, and strives to build a platform for the integration and development of cultural tourism in cities along the Grand Canal, a platform for the promotion of cultural tourism products and a platform for sharing a better life. The Expo invited thousands of international friends to the cities along the Jiangsu Canal to experience the canal culture and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the canal, to show the rich cultural heritage of the Grand Canal, the beautiful life at present and the creative energy of the integration and development of cultural tourism, and to introduce the cultural tourism products of the Grand Canal to all parts of the world.

  A forum

  Since 2006, the annual World Canal City Forum has been successfully held for the 14th time in Jiangsu. The forum organized more than 200 participants, including mayors of domestic canal cities, canal managers, researchers and enthusiasts, diplomatic envoys of well-known foreign countries where canals are located, and representatives of international organizations in China. Mayors of foreign canal cities, representatives of well-known canal management institutions and experts and scholars of canal research institutions jointly discussed the paths and countermeasures for the sustainable prosperity and development of the cultural tourism industry in canal cities.

  A fund

  At the theme forum of "Canal Culture" of the first Yangtze River Delta International Cultural Industry Expo, Jiangsu set up the first Grand Canal Cultural Tourism Development Fund in China with an initial scale of 20 billion yuan. Through the coordinated linkage of mother and child funds, it made overall plans for the protection, inheritance and utilization of the Grand Canal culture, focusing on supporting the construction of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park and the integration of cultural tourism.

  A series of books 

  It took more than 100 experts eight years to compile, and the first China Canal Annals — — China Canal Records was officially published by Jiangsu Phoenix Publishing Media Group. On September 27th last year, this 14-million-word imperial masterpiece was unveiled for the first time at the 2019 World Canal City Forum and World Canal Conference, which is also the largest canal publishing project in China’s history.

  An opera

  The opera River of Transport is a work to fill the "blank" of Jiangsu opera for fifteen years. Since its inception in 2014, it has sung from the side of the Grand Canal to the lake of Geneva, and its domestic and international tours have been welcomed by Chinese and foreign audiences. Based on the opening and navigation of the Grand Canal and the change of dynasties in Sui and Tang dynasties, the drama weaves a historical drama that is soul-stirring, alarming and can release positive energy.

The company earned 1 billion in the stock market for two months and was fined 5.6 billion.

CCTV News: Recently, CCTV reporters, together with the Inspection Bureau of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, successfully investigated and dealt with a huge stock manipulation case after months of unannounced visits.

After investigation, Beibadao Group and its actual controller used 1 billion yuan of funds to manipulate the stock prices of several sub-new shares in a short period of two months, and made a profit of 1 billion yuan. The CSRC intends to impose a fine of 5.67 billion yuan on the enterprise and its actual controller, and the case has become the largest stock market manipulation case investigated by the CSRC.

Company involved

Company involved

From February to May, 2017, Beibadao Group and its actual controllers set up and controlled a trading team with a clear division of labor, raised billions of yuan through a number of fund intermediaries, used 301 securities accounts, and used abnormal trading techniques such as frequent reverse transactions, intraday price hikes, and rapid daily limit closures to speculate on multiple sub-new shares, which was suspected of manipulating the market.

Inspectors of CSRC:After our preliminary investigation, we found that the related accounts involved were actually manipulated and controlled by a Beibadao Group, a private logistics group in Xiamen, whose main business is railway transportation.

Small-cap stocks with "ferocious" tactics have experienced ups and downs.

In February 2017, the sub-new shares of several banks led by "Jiangyin Bank" and "Zhangjiagang Bank" were collectively speculated, which caused great concern in the market.

A stock that has been manipulated for speculation.

A stock that has been manipulated for speculation.

Inspectors of CSRC:Take the behavior of Zhangjiagang as an example. It started to be listed on January 24th, and then we, the main manipulator, started to manipulate it in early February, that is, it just went on the market for a few days, using their capital advantages and shareholding advantages to earn chips in the hands of retail investors, and then after their chips reached a certain level, they attracted the follow-up funds in the market, and then they suddenly removed their chips, so that they could easily make quick money.

Second, raise huge sums of money to fund the one-stop service of the company

In the investigation, the inspectors of the CSRC also found that the principal of Beibadao Group’s one billion yuan was not their own, and they all found the so-called — — Fund-raising company.

Inspectors of CSRC:Mainly use some underground fund-raising intermediaries in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to contact the fund-raiser. The fund-raiser will give these accounts and his own money to these fund-raising intermediaries, and then the fund-raising intermediaries will give them to the Beibadao Group, and then the Beibadao Group will use these accounts to manipulate the market. These fund-raisers here will get 10% of the fixed annualized income, and then the fund-raising intermediaries will generally get about 1% of the intermediary service fee, and the remaining excess income will be.

There are many accounts involved in the "busy" trading.

During the investigation, the inspectors of the CSRC saw rows of tables and chairs and some computers that had not been evacuated before in a villa of more than 1,000 square meters. It is reported that this is the private trading hall of Beiba Road. At the busiest time, at least 100 computers and more than 10 traders were engaged in illegal trading, and each trader controlled two or three stock accounts.

Inspectors of CSRC:In two months’ time, we just went to more than ten provinces and cities to visit the owners of these nominal accounts involved to determine whether they are using this account themselves or giving it to others.

Although the sources of funds are all over the world, the illegal funds earned by manipulating the stock market eventually fell into the private accounts of more than 10 financial personnel of Beibadao Group.

The CSRC interviewed the suspect for violent resistance to the law.

company personnel

Employees of the company involved violently resisted the law.

After basically grasping the criminal facts of Beibadao, the inspectors of the CSRC arrived at Beibadao Company, but the relevant personnel of the case refused to talk.

There is a conflict between the inspector of CSRC and the object of investigation.

The two ladies in the camera, one is the company treasurer and the other claims to be the legal representative. When the inspectors of the CSRC obtained the company’s financial information, they actually tore up the documents and even threw them out of the window.

Fined a fine of 5.67 billion yuan from the CSRC.

Inspectors of CSRC:The most typical harm of this case is that it has affected the fairness and justice of this market and caused great fluctuations in the market. I will plan to impose a top penalty on its Beibadao Group. So far, it is the case with the highest amount of administrative penalty imposed by the CSRC.

The central and eastern regions suffered another "big diving" in temperature, and Spring Festival travel rush fluctuated greatly in 40 days.

  BEIJING, Beijing, February 9 (Xinhua) According to the weather forecast, strong cold air will be ushered in the central and eastern regions from today, and the temperature drop in some areas can reach 10 ~ 12 C. At present, the annual Spring Festival travel rush is under way, and the meteorological department predicts that the temperature in most parts of the country will be high during the Spring Festival travel rush this year, but the temperature will fluctuate greatly.

  The central and eastern regions were cooled by strong cold air to 12℃

  Since the new year, affected by frequent strong air conditioning, the central and eastern regions have continuously encountered a wide range of low-temperature rain and snow weather, and the lowest temperature and snow thickness in many places have set records.

  Now, the strong cold air is coming again. According to the forecast of the Central Meteorological Observatory, strong cold air will affect the central and eastern regions from the 9th to 11th. At 18: 00 on the 8th, the Central Meteorological Observatory issued a blue warning of cold wave.

  Affected by strong cold air, from 20: 00 to 11: 00 on the 8th, there were strong winds and cooling weather in most parts of the central and eastern regions from north to south. After cooling, the temperature in the northern region was 2 ~ 4 C lower than normal, and that in the south was 1 ~ 3 C lower.

  Today and tomorrow, the temperature in northern Sichuan Plateau, northern Gansu, North China, Inner Mongolia, most parts of Northeast China and northern Huanghuai will drop by 6 ~ 8℃, and the temperature drop in some areas will reach 10 ~ 12℃. Most of the above areas have northerly winds of 4 ~ 6, and gusts can reach 7 ~ 8; During this period, the lowest temperature line of 0℃ will be pressed south to the east of Jiangnan to the northeast of Sichuan and the north of Yunnan, and the -10℃ line will be located in the northern part of North China-the eastern part of Northwest China.

  On Spring Festival travel rush Road, attention should be paid to rainy, snowy and windy weather.

  Since the opening of Spring Festival travel rush, the cold air coming from the relay has affected people’s way home. According to the monitoring of the Central Meteorological Observatory, in the past 10 days, the cold air activities affecting China were frequent and strong. The average temperature in northern Xinjiang and central and eastern regions was 2 ~ 5℃ lower than normal, and the local temperature in northern Xinjiang and western Gansu was more than 5℃ lower.

  In addition to cooling, some areas also suffered from heavy snowfall. In the past few days, heavy snowfall has occurred in most areas of Shandong Peninsula, and heavy snow has appeared in Weihai City, Wendeng and Rongcheng. Snowfall once caused hundreds of high-speed toll stations in Shandong to be temporarily closed or restricted.

  In Beijing, where the passenger flow in Spring Festival travel rush is under great pressure, although there is no obvious rain and snow weather in Beijing this winter, the impact of strong wind cooling on returning tourists can not be ignored.

  On the afternoon of the 8 th, the Beijing Meteorological Observatory issued a blue warning of strong winds. Due to the influence of strong cold air, it is expected that there will be northerly winds of 4 or 5 in most parts of Beijing from 9 to 11, with gusts of about 7.

  The impact of weather changes on traffic is obvious. Today is the ninth day of Spring Festival travel rush in 2018. Passengers on their way home should pay attention to the rain and snow information in the next few days.

  The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that in the next three days, there will be light snow or sleet in northeastern Tibet, central and western Sichuan, northeastern Yunnan, northwestern Guizhou, central and western Gansu, eastern Inner Mongolia, northern Heilongjiang, eastern Jilin and other places, and local snow or heavy snow; There is light rain in most parts of the south of the Yangtze River and southern China, and moderate to heavy rain in southeastern Tibet.

  During the period of Spring Festival travel rush, the temperature was generally high, with large fluctuations in cold and warm.

  From February 1st, 2018, Spring Festival travel rush has been opened. What is the national meteorological situation in the 40-day Spring Festival travel rush exam?

  According to the forecast previously released by the National Climate Center, the temperature in most parts of the country was high during Spring Festival travel rush this year, but it fluctuated greatly. It is estimated that, except the temperature in the northeast, northeast Inner Mongolia, south China and southwest China is lower than normal, the temperature in other parts of the country is close to normal to high, among which the temperature in the central and western Inner Mongolia, the central part of northwest China, the northwest part of southwest China and Tibet is 1 to 2℃ higher.

  According to historical statistics, during the period of Spring Festival travel rush this year, it is the transition period between winter and spring, and it is a frequent period of meteorological disasters such as low temperature, rain, snow, freezing, strong wind and smog. The national average temperature is minus 0.6℃, and the average precipitation is 26.1 mm..

  According to the forecast, during the Spring Festival travel rush this year, there will be more precipitation in the eastern part of Northeast China, the southeastern part of Northwest China, the southern part of Southwest China, northern Xinjiang and western Inner Mongolia, while the precipitation in most other parts of the country will be normal to less, with 20% to 50% less in southern Zhejiang, central and southern Jiangxi, eastern Hunan, Fujian and northern Guangdong, and it is less likely that a large-scale sustained low-temperature rain, snow and ice disaster will occur in the south. In addition, the meteorological conditions of air pollution diffusion are generally poor, including the deviation of air pollution diffusion conditions in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and the Yangtze River Delta, and the preference of the Pearl River Delta.

  According to experts, compared with the same period of the year, the overall impact of weather and climate conditions in Spring Festival travel rush this year is small, but we should pay attention to the impact of staged and local weather. For example, during the period of Spring Festival travel rush, the temperature in the eastern region fluctuated greatly, so it is necessary to guard against the adverse effects of windy and cool weather on traffic and human health.

Test drive Song PLUS DM-i, taking you to unlock the five extrasensory performances of "Fast, Smooth, Static and Accurate"

Since its debut, the discussion about Song PLUS DM-i has been endless: the first SUV model equipped with DM-i super hybrid system, and the "dragon beard shape" with the same origin as Han …… With its official listing, its attention has soared again and again, so can Song PLUS DM-i meet the expectations of consumers? Today, let’s have a try.

Wide body and low body lead the trend, and the exclusive design of new energy is well received.

Evaluating an SUV model, high value is definitely a plus item. Song PLUS DM-i extended the design language of Dragon Face 3.0, and the front face design of "Eight-faced Dragons" matched with the rhythmic front grille of lattice scales, which was exquisite and domineering, highlighting the exclusive design of new energy vehicles; The LED light group has been upgraded, the fog light area has a sharp edge shape, and the turn signal is also integrated into the headlights; The wide-body and low-lying styling design and the long wheelbase of 2765mm not only make it the most fashionable SUV in the market, but also the largest SUV in its class. The overall design is closer to the current hot-selling BYD Han DM, which has attracted a crowd before departure.

Entering the car, Song PLUS DM-i adopts the exclusive color scheme of Eclipse Blue+Sky Grey, where blue stands for "technology" and "quietness", and grey highlights "sense of space" and "lightweight". The fresh and elegant color scheme makes people fondle it and feel better. The multi-layer floating design makes the space more natural and clear.

In addition, the Song PLUS DM-i is equipped at the beginning. The whole system comes standard with 12.8-inch 8-core adaptive rotating suspension Pad, mobile phone NFC car key, Dirac 9 speaker intelligent music cockpit, OTA remote upgrade, 360 panoramic image of megapixels, 6 airbags in front and rear rows, VTOL 220V power output and other functions. The high-equipped model of this test drive is also equipped with seat ventilation and heating function. The friends who test drive together sighed, "You can’t go back after using it."

Generally speaking, Song PLUS DM-i not only inherits the outstanding quality of the fuel version, but also creates an exclusive aesthetic feeling of science and technology. It is fashionable in modeling, large in space, cool in sitting and high in configuration, which makes people unforgettable.

Super hybrid strong blessing, the whole test drive "calls" more than

This test drive is the top version of Song PLUS DM-i with a pure battery life of 110KM. It is equipped with three core technologies: Xiaoyun-plug-in special 1.5L high-efficiency engine, EHS electric hybrid system and DM-i super hybrid special power blade battery. The comprehensive power is 173kW, and the whole test process is full of surprises. The multiple advantages of "fast, smooth, static, stable and accurate" are deeply rooted in people’s hearts!

When driving in urban areas, you can feel that the power output of the Song PLUS DM-i is linear and direct, and the throttle response is crisp and neat. When the traffic jam starts, there is no delay, and the power response is comparable to that of pure electric vehicles. When trying to overtake and merge, you can feel generate with a steady stream of power by kicking down. Even high-speed overtaking is fast and steady, so you don’t have to worry about overtaking failure due to lack of power. The accelerated test has answered the doubts, and the actual measurement has reached 7.9s, which is 2-3s faster than that of the same class fuel vehicle. The power experience is completely the level of a 2.0T high-power engine, which is very popular!

During the test drive, thanks to the well-regulated EHS electric hybrid system, the Song PLUS DM-i is super smooth to drive, and there is no sense of frustration in the shift of traditional fuel vehicles at all. The whole vehicle gives people a sense of calmness, and it drives like a pure electric vehicle, which is popular with people!

It is worth mentioning that even if you gallop on the highway with a speed of 100km/h, the noise transmitted into the car is very small, and the communication between the front and rear rows is very smooth, so there is no need to "pull your voice" at all. Song PLUS DM-i adopts double-layer sound insulation and heat insulation glass in the front row and front windshield. Through the acoustic package and seal design of the whole vehicle, it has achieved a high NVH level, which gives people the impression that it is equivalent to bringing its own "noise-reducing headphones" and is quiet in people’s hearts!

With multiple adjustments, the Song PLUS DM-i turns accurately and enjoys stable driving.

Previously, on the high speed, the Song PLUS DM-i felt like a medium-sized SUV, and the chassis had a calm performance. On the way to the test drive, we mistakenly entered a bumpy road, which made us experience the solid chassis adjustment of the Song PLUS DM-i in all directions. Song PLUS DM-i, which was personally operated by German chassis master Hans Kirk, was driving on the potholed road, and the shock was filtered very simply, with almost no unnecessary beating, and the overall performance was still firmly in the hearts of the people!

It is worth mentioning that Song PLUS DM-i has a profound knowledge in handling. The elk test passed the speed of ≥76km/h, and the whole vehicle not only has a small roll, but also has a sensitive and linear brake. In some U-turn sections, the minimum turning radius of 5.55 meters at the same level brings the pleasure of "passing through" and is popular!

In addition, after a long period of congestion, the fuel consumption of Song PLUS DM-i is only 4.6L/100km.

, super mixing is more and more blocked!

It is no exaggeration to say that after five minutes of test drive, you can experience the five extrasensory performances of Song PLUS DM-i, which are fast, smooth, quiet, stable and accurate. In addition, all departments of Song PLUS DM-i can enjoy the preferential policies of exemption from purchase tax and unlimited access to green cards, and have introduced the three-electric lifetime warranty for non-operating vehicles (the first owner) and the six-year or 150,000-kilometer vehicle warranty, which eliminates the worries of car use and further stimulates multiple advantages. In the future, what wonderful story will Song PLUS DM-i write about "the world’s first wide-body super hybrid SUV"? Let’s pay attention together.

Tank 330: Hard-core cross-country, the new king is standing!

Author | Niu Li

Production | car traveler

Jobs opened a new era of smart phones with Apple;

Musk opened a new era of smart electric vehicles with Tesla;

Wei Jian’s military tanks opened a new era of hard-core off-road vehicles.

The tank brand was born less than four years ago, leading the domestic off-road vehicle market to set off two storms:

The first storm: China automobile brand "square box fever";

The second storm: joint venture car companies regain square box products and rub off the hard-core off-road heat.

The auto market is crazy, and the price war is one after another.

Some people are keen on grabbing cakes, but others prefer to make cakes.

In the red sea after red sea, the Great Wall has created a blue ocean belonging to hard-core cross-country enthusiasts, and devoted itself to exploring and establishing its own tidal wild paradise with a group of hard-core cross-country enthusiasts.

The tank 300 exploded immediately after leaving the factory, and the global sales of a single model exceeded 300,000 in just three years. Since then, the tank 500 Hi4-T, the tank 400 Hi4-T and the tank 700 Hi4-T listed not long ago have continuously enriched and expanded this tidal paradise.

On March 16th, Tank 300 evolved again, and a version of 3.0T V6, Tank 330, was introduced, with a price of 330,000, which was appraised as "the strongest tank 300 in history" by cross-country enthusiasts.

The listing of Tank 330 has created two histories:

1) It fills the gap that China automobile brands don’t have hard-core off-road vehicles with large displacement and high performance. 3.0T V6 engine-the real totem in the mind of cross-country players;

2) Born in the name of the user. The birth of this car was not planned by the Great Wall from the inside out, but was created by users with needs and love. Many technical configurations, designs and modification schemes were decided by users.

Looking at the current automobile market, there are square boxes everywhere, but there is only one tank.

The listing of tank 330 is to declare to the whole hard-core off-road vehicle market: hard-core off-road, the new king is standing!

01

Not being a follower is a trend in itself

Tank 330: a new peak for hard-core cross-country trees

Great Wall Motor’s gene says "don’t follow".

Twenty-two years ago, when a car entered the family and the people of the whole country followed the trend of cars, Great Wall Motor launched the Saif SUV in a different way.

Everyone knows the story in the future. Haval H6, which "doesn’t follow", has become a constant winner in the SUV market, with a cumulative sales volume of over 4 million, making it the champion of H6 and the exclusive identity of Haval brand "SUV Family".

At that time, the domestic hard-core off-road vehicle market was occupied by foreign-funded and joint-venture brands for a long time. Toyota Prado and JEEP herdsman increased their prices for a long time, and Ford Bronco, which was imported at a high price, also showed its superiority in front of off-road enthusiasts in China.

Faced with the dull product experience, uneven product quality and expensive price of hundreds of thousands, off-road enthusiasts can only bury their hobbies in their hearts.

Until more than three years ago, the tank brand was born, which reactivated the long-lost hard-core off-road vehicle market in China.

With its beautiful posture, professional off-road strength, comfortable experience and people-friendly price, it has successfully subverted the shortcomings of foreign hard-core off-road vehicles and made many off-road enthusiasts shine.

Since then, the tank brand has become synonymous with off-road vehicles, creating and leading this long-lasting off-road trend for more than three years.

Today, three years later, the blowout of the domestic hard-core off-road market made Toyota Prado see the opportunity and Ford Bronco see the opportunity.

Toyota’s domestic Prado is about to go on the market, and Ford finally decided to localize Bronco and named it "Fierce Horse" after hesitation.

Toyota and Ford, the global automobile giants, must admit that it is the tank, which makes them re-understand the off-road vehicle market in China and the people who love off-road.

Let the global auto giants follow and follow suit, and tanks have created history.

This is not only the pride of tanks, the pride of Great Wall Motor, but also the pride of the entire China automobile industry.

The pre-sale price of the upcoming domestic 2.4T Prado is 470,000-570,000 yuan. The pre-sale price of Ford Fierce Horse has not been announced, but the power has been determined to be 2.3t..

In contrast, the tank 330 V6 with a price of 330,000 yuan is unique and irreplaceable.

Prado attracts the feelings of the older generation of off-road mr. six, while Ford Fierce Horse attracts very small American off-road users. The tank brand is leading the off-road interests and hobbies of the younger generation.

In the hearts of the younger generation of off-road fans, Tank 330 is the real hard-core off-road vehicle totem, and there is no one.

The world’s leading 3.0T V6 engine adopts advanced technologies such as dual injection system, dual VGT supercharger, intake manifold with integrated water-cooled intercooler and full map oil pump, with a maximum power of 260kW and a peak torque of 500N?m.

This configuration of technical parameters makes the tank 330 a typical "big horse-drawn car" and a cross-country fighter.

The top engine is matched with the first longitudinal 9AT gearbox developed by Shanghai Great Wall, and a new generation of "Golden Powertrain" is created by Great Wall. With over 97% efficient transmission efficiency, clear shifting logic and 750N?m super load, Tank 330 has the technical strength of "giving up who I am" in the field of hard-core off-road vehicles.

The thermal efficiency of the engine reaches 38.5%, and the fuel consumption of the WLTC is 11.9L per 100 kilometers. Coupled with the 48V motor, the tank 330 not only awakens the strong off-road gene, but also achieves a strong balance between power and fuel economy.

Tank 330, a veritable "new king" in the hard-core cross-country world.

If the tank 300 opens the door in the hearts of many off-road enthusiasts and lets people enter the fun-filled world of off-road, then the tank 330 is truly "the first extreme off-road toy for young people", which makes off-road fans have a more professional playmate.

From then on, mountains and rivers, let me gallop.

On the tank 330, you can realize all the imaginations about off-road

02

First-class brands create and lead the trend

Second, third-rate brands follow the trend

Tank 330: Lead the hard-core cross-country to a higher place.

In the automobile market in 2024, from the perspective of automobile modeling and aesthetic development, "square box fever" is the biggest topic and point of view.

If you define yourself as a mainstream automobile brand manufacturer without a square box car, maybe your product pedigree will be incomplete and flawed.

There is no doubt that the tank brand is the initiator and leader of this "square box fever".

After the tank, many China brands began to follow suit, such as Jetway Traveler and other products, but these products are essentially different from the tank 300.

They choose to occupy the lower-end off-road vehicle market by reducing configuration and price reduction. There are more and more products that look like off-road vehicles from the outside, but there are not many products that really have the ultimate professional off-road spirit.

In the hearts of true cross-country enthusiasts, the tank brand is the real hard cross-country.

It’s just like in the luxury market, where trends and guidance are the most important, Hermes and Chanel never look at what others are popular, because they are the founders and leaders of fashion.

After Tank 300 completely opened the door to the hard-core off-road market, Tank 330, with more powerful power, more extreme design, more powerful chassis training and more professional original factory modification, led the domestic hard-core off-road to a higher level.

In the history of the industry, the appearance of Tank 330 has filled the gap in the domestic market of high-displacement and high-performance hard-core off-road vehicles, and it is the first performance totem in the history of off-road vehicles in China that can rival herdsman Rubicon, "Bobcat" Pajero V97, Mercedes-Benz G-class and other high-performance hard-core off-road vehicles.

Backwards compatibility is easy, and it is simple to follow imitation.

However, it is the most difficult to create and lead a new trend and develop upward. This is the road chosen by Tank 330, and it is also the true core spirit of hard-core cross-country: choosing the road that is more difficult but correct, and it is also the product proposition of Tank 300 that "there is no way out".

03

Not just cross-country

It is also a kind of culture and spirit.

Tank 330: Carry the real hard cross-country to the end.

Pure love.

This is the declaration of the listing of tank 330, a slogan, which makes a lot of cross-country enthusiasts have a boiling passion.

In this complicated world, a pure love is becoming more and more rare.

It is this rarity that closely connects people with the same hobbies.

Up to now, the tank brand has established 67 clubs, reaching more than 290 cities and regions, and established 482 communities, covering more than 170,000 users. The tank App has gathered nearly 2.3 million registered fans.

This tank 330 is the crystallization of "user creation".

"Love to play, can play" is their common label.

Human civilization has evolved and developed for thousands of years. Only culture can connect people of different nationalities, lineages and races. Tanks are creating this culture and transmitting this spirit all over the world.

In terms of automobile culture, Tank 330 will make the term "Tank 330" become the first concrete performance symbol in the hearts of Chinese people, stimulate the enthusiasm of overseas people for China’s off-road automobile culture, and take this as a starting point to form an automobile trend culture exclusive to Chinese people.

Tank 300 sells well for more than 300,000 vehicles, and most users will modify it to a certain extent. Each tank 300 is different and unique.

In view of the tank users’ love for modification, the tank 330 went on the market with the original factory modification and customization, the exclusive gray matt paint and the unique red V6 logo at the rear.

Before and after the factory, the metal competitive bars, metal side guard bars, upper and lower control arms, three chassis armor guard plates, off-road attitude and safety guard are all available in the tank 330.

At the same time, with the 8-segment bidirectional adjustable nitrogen shock absorber of Koman Raceway, the compression/rebound bidirectional 8-segment damping can be adjusted, with a total of 64 combinations, which perfectly adapt to different terrains and match the professional adjustment of the original factory. 265/70 R18 wheel hub, matched with 33-inch diameter all-terrain tires, allows the tank 330 to release more professional off-road power.

Tank 330 also has 2500kg traction qualification and is equipped with a 13-pin trailer power outlet. Hang up the trailer and take a trip.

Tank 330 will carry the real hard-core cross-country to the end.

Niu Girl said:

Every holiday, "there are tanks all over the mountains."

This is a gift from the tank brand to China auto market, and it is also a gift to off-road vehicle enthusiasts in China and even the whole world.

The tank brand has accumulated 350,000+users in three years, and the big explosion star model tank has 300,000+users worldwide in 300 3.

In China, for every two off-road vehicles sold, one of them is a tank.

People love not only tanks, but also the kind of free life behind tanks.

The launch of Tank 330 has pushed the "tank life" that people yearn for to a new height-more extreme, more professional and more free.

Tanks are synonymous with off-road; Tank 330 is the symbol of extreme off-road.

Poke your tears! The film The Legend of the Erect Elephant shows the true portrayal of adults.


1905 movie network news A few days ago, the fantasy adventure animated film exposed a feature film, in which the protagonist Muzili and his family were having a family "night chat", and then Muzili went to its "secret passage" … … As the first animated co-production in China and New Zealand, The Legend of the Erect Elephant has cross-cultural characteristics and milestone significance. The film focuses on family affection and fantasy adventure, bringing a vivid growth education lesson for adults and children, and it is the best choice to accompany children into the cinema in summer.


Animation restores the true feelings of life and pokes parents’ tears


The movie The Legend of the Erect Elephant tells that the Peach Chestnut Elephant is a higher creature with hands and feet, knows how to think, and has the same language ability as human beings, but it can’t get rid of the fate of being enslaved because of being cursed. However, by chance, the hero Muzili and his son Le Er went to an ancient cave full of mystery, and discovered the secret of the "Peach and Chestnut Elephant" family, and finally rose up and rebelled, bringing the family a story of freedom and liberation.


In the feature footage of this exposure, Muzili dragged herself back home and discussed the upcoming baby with his wife Bai Na. Muzili’s premonition of the child’s sex was frequently vomited by Bai Na, and the way they bickered was very funny. At this time, Le Er is playing with its chicks, so naughty that Muzili can’t help but sigh that one boy is enough. Muzili fell asleep after a hard day’s work, trying to keep up her spirits and continue to work the next day, but Le Er pestered her father to go to the "secret passage" with her. Muzili wanted to refuse Le Er, but was shocked by Le Er’s sentence "Guess what I would do if I had hands". Driven by his wife’s encouragement and son’s curiosity, he went to the direction of fireflies … … As soon as this clip came out, it poked the tears of parents. Many parents said that they didn’t expect an animated film to be so real!


Show the true portrayal of adults, and the topic of companionship leads to heated discussion in society.


The topic reflected behind this exposure has aroused deep thoughts from all walks of life. How long have you been away from your children because of work fatigue? Muzi Li in the film plows the fields every day, works for his master, and goes home at night with backache. He just wants to fall asleep and has no time to take care of his son’s dream, let alone accompany him. And isn’t this a true portrayal of contemporary adults? "996", "007" and "KPI" have become invisible shackles on adults. After a day’s work, they are exhausted, and sometimes their children have fallen asleep when they come home from work late at night. On the one hand, the pressure of making money for a living, on the other hand, the responsibility of raising children, coupled with the increasingly fierce involution, has weighed heavily on adults, and accompanying children has become a luxury.


However, accompanying children to grow up is a compulsory course for parents. It is difficult for children without parents to feel love and love life. In reality, we may see that some parents brush their mobile phones even if they have free time, and let tablets and mobile phones act as nannies for the baby; Some parents fill their children’s time with various interest classes, but they never know that their parents’ company can shape their children’s best interests; Although some parents make money day and night to make their children live a better life, they don’t know that while making money, they have already lost the best time to accompany their children in those years. Being busy should not be an excuse. How to accompany children and listen to their voices? I believe parents will find the answer in movies.


The film The Legend of the Erect Elephant will be released nationwide on July 30th. Companionship is the best gift parents give their children. This summer vacation, watch the story of the upright elephant with your children!


Max Zhang: Martial arts films are representative types of China films, and someone should shoot them.


Special feature of 1905 film network "Martial arts movies are very representative types of China movies, and someone should shoot them!"In an exclusive interview with the 1905 film network, this paper interprets the reasons for re-appearing in martial arts films after a lapse of 10 years.



The movie "A Stranger’s Mad Knife" tells the story that when the dynasty changed, the King of Qi assassinated the prince and pursued his orphan. Tian Anye (Max Zhang), the head coach of Mo Dao Army, came to the rescue, but was caught in the storm and fought for justice.


The film has many elements such as chivalry, Machiavellian, betrayal, redemption, etc. Several action scenes with real knives and real kung fu also make the audience enjoy themselves, especially the strange knife with a length of 2.5 meters, which is full of prestige and domineering.



Behind the flowing action scenes is hard work. In the process of filming, Max Zhang accidentally suffered the most serious injury in his performance career — — Achilles tendon rupture.


But in his view, as an action actor, injury is inevitable and will not affect his persistence and love for action movies."As long as my hands and feet are still there, as long as I can’t kill me, I can stand up."


Talk about new plays

"Pay equal attention to civil and military affairs" to a new height


"Stranger Knife is not like the martial arts film I imagined."


The most attractive thing about Max Zhang’s outspoken script is the complexity of Tian Anye. From the beginning of decadence and world-weariness, to the awakening of chivalry, this character shows a more real and humane side different from traditional martial arts films.



In order to cope with the psychological changes of the characters, the style of action drama in different stages is also different. "The drama in the dyehouse in the early stage, as well as the drama in the tower by Tian Anye and Zhang Xuqing, are all short weapons, and the character’s state is also closed. When he takes out the strange knife in the later stage, he is full of anger and strength, and his emotions are wide open."


This kind of unity of literary drama and martial arts drama is also what Max Zhang has always pursued. "I always feel that action is part of performance, and civil and military can’t be separated."



Although he has been practicing martial arts for many years and has real kung fu skills, the drama playing in A Stranger’s Sword is still full of challenges for Max Zhang.


The first is the strange knife that is 2.5 meters long. Max Zhang revealed that the length of the design was 2.1 meters at first, but the director felt that the momentum was not enough, so he added 40 centimeters. "I told the director that I really couldn’t move if I added it."



In order to present the flowing action effect, Max Zhang "ran in" with the stranger’s knife for more than 20 days before shooting, and waved the heavy stranger’s knife while wearing armor, which put forward high requirements for the strength of his hands and waist.


"I believe that the audience can feel the heaviness of the knife. This sense of strength is what we want to express. The momentum is very shocking and full of masculinity."



In addition to the long knives, another fireball rope dart play is equally difficult.


Max Zhang should not only master the movement essentials of soft weapon rope dart, but also always guard against fireballs flying everywhere. "It is full of Mars. You don’t know where it will bounce. If it bounces on your body, it will burn blisters, and if it bounces on your face, it may be disfigured."



During the filming of "Stranger Knife", Max Zhang also accidentally suffered the most serious injury since filming — — Achilles tendon rupture.


In the days when his feet could not move, Max Zhang was not idle. On the tenth day after the operation, he walked into the gym and started upper limb training. In the year of injury, Max Zhang not only developed proud muscle lines on his upper body, but also obtained a driver’s license for advanced operation of unmanned aerial vehicles.


"Being injured seems to be a very unfortunate thing, but on the other hand, I prefer to use this rare rest time to actively do something useful, which is better than lying flat at home!"



As an action actor, Max Zhang has long been "accustomed" to all kinds of injuries, bluntly saying that "this is an inevitable part of slapstick". The experience of injury will not make him worry about taking on the show in the future: "As long as my hands and feet are still there, as long as I can’t die, I can stand up."


Talk about martial arts

"Martial arts movies should be shot by someone."


"I practice martial arts and grew up reading martial arts novels. I often fantasize that I am a hero in novels." Max Zhang said frankly that he had a hard-to-give-up complex about martial arts.


Among many works, his favorite character is Ling Huchong in the legendary swordsman. "Everyone has a different understanding of martial arts, and some may be the traditional way of robbing the rich and helping the poor, weeding out the strong and helping the weak, but I prefer a more humane and real warrior, and so is Tian Anye this time."



When talking about the plight of martial arts films in the market in recent years, Zhang Jin can’t hide his regret. "Martial arts films are a very representative film type in China, or should someone do it? If no one does it, it may really disappear. This is a pity."


As for the dating of action stars, Max Zhang bluntly said that more actors with "real kung fu" should be the protagonists of action movies, which is the guarantee of wonderful and beautiful performance. "If the eldest brother’s or eldest brother’s film was replaced by an actor who can’t kung fu and hasn’t practiced, would the audience still feel good?"



Looking back on his performance along the way, from behind-the-scenes to onstage, from supporting role to leading role, Max Zhang thinks that only by daring to try and challenge can we achieve breakthroughs again and again.


"Before I played, no one imagined that I could play Ma San, and all the roles I was looking for were small classes and so on. Before "Breaking Wolf 2", no one found my side, so in the future, I want to try everything and be willing to challenge anything. "



As the "backbone" of action movies, in Max Zhang’s view, there is no shortcut to how to make martial arts movies regain their glory and capture the love of young audiences. We can only rely on the real knife and the excellent film quality to speak.


A line in "A Stranger’s Mad Knife" also expresses Max Zhang’s heart: "If you can’t save a city, you will save the people in front of you".


"I like this dialogue very much. For us actors, it is to make every movie in front of us."

  Cultivate new land and sea channels to help the "Belt and Road" trade flow smoothly

  "The new land and sea channel has expanded from a line at the beginning to 393 ports in 119 countries and regions around the world, becoming a fast channel for China’s western region to connect with the world." Liu Wei, director of the logistics and operation organization center of the western land and sea new channel, said.

  As a key support field of China-Singapore financial cooperation, the new land and sea channel is one of the important achievements born under the framework of China-Singapore interconnection project. In 2017, relying on the Sino-Singapore interconnection project, relevant provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in the west cooperated with ASEAN countries to create a brand-new international trade logistics channel — — The southbound passage of the Sino-Singapore interconnection project is the predecessor of the new land and sea passage.

  The first train of the normal operation of the southbound rail-sea intermodal passage of the Sino-Singapore interconnection project is ready to go (photo taken on September 25, 2017). Xinhua News Agency reporter Tang Yushe

  It takes Chongqing as the operation center, the western provinces as the key nodes, and uses railway, sea transportation, highway and other modes of transportation to reach all parts of the world through coastal ports such as Guangxi and Yunnan in the south, which greatly shortens the time required to go to sea through the eastern region.

  In the past six years, the development of new land and sea passages has continued to accelerate. Taking the first quarter of this year as an example, the data of the logistics and operation organization center of the western land and sea new channel show that in the first quarter, Chongqing transported 36,000 TEUs through the land and sea new channel, up 39% year-on-year, and the value of goods reached 5.555 billion yuan, up 25% year-on-year.

  "At the beginning of the operation, some trains and shuttle bus goods in the new land and sea passage ‘ There is no return ’ There are only more than 50 kinds of goods, and now the two-way balance of transportation has been basically realized, and the number of goods has expanded to more than 900 kinds. " Liu Wei said.

  The new land and sea channel will solve the logistics problems in the western region and promote the open development of the western region — —

  In the past, Chongqing Liwen Paper Co., Ltd. imported raw materials from Southeast Asia, which had long been troubled by the long cycle of river-sea combined transport. Since 2021, with the support of the new land and sea channel, the company’s logistics problems have been solved. The person in charge of the company said: "The new land and sea channel provides an efficient supply chain guarantee, the transportation time is shortened by about 15 days, the production cycle of the enterprise is shortened, and the output and benefit are greatly improved."

  Gansu Chinese herbal medicines, Xinjiang nuts, Ningxia Lycium barbarum puree and red wine, Guizhou tea, Chongqing Mahua … … Once "hidden in the boudoir", the western characteristic products are constantly moving towards the world along the new land and sea channel, and some have become new growth points of local foreign trade.

  The new land and sea channel allows countries and regions along the Belt and Road to share the China market dividend — —

  Laos high-quality rice can reach the supermarket counters in western cities such as Chongqing in about 4 days by taking the China-Laos Railway international freight train on the new land and sea passage, while it often takes nearly one month before.

  Not only Laos rice, but also Thai durian, Vietnamese Basha fish, Cambodian bananas and other special products have entered the China market more quickly. At the same time, China is cooperating with Laos to build a modern agricultural industrial park project, and cooperating with Cambodia to explore the integrated banana supply chain of "transportation, trade and production".

  The continuous expansion of cooperation areas has continuously released the radiation effect of the "Belt and Road"

  In March this year, with the support of the Sino-Singapore interconnection project, 12 Chongqing manufacturing enterprises went to Singapore to attend the 2023 International Industrial Cooperation Conference (Singapore), and reached a purchase order of about 10 million US dollars on the spot, and confirmed 12 cooperation intentions.

  This is the latest attempt of China-Singapore interconnection project in the manufacturing field. Nowadays, the field of project cooperation is constantly expanding, and the radiation effect on countries and regions along the "Belt and Road" is continuously released — —

  In the field of information and communication, the two sides cooperated to open China-Singapore international data channels, provide cross-border data transmission security and other services, and set up joint innovation and development funds for China-Singapore information and communication media;

  In the field of aviation industry, the two sides innovated the supervision mode of bonded aviation materials and promoted the Singapore Aviation Bonded Aviation Materials Distribution Center to settle in Chongqing; Singapore Changi Airport cooperates with Chongqing Airport Group to improve the management level of Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport;

  In the field of agricultural industry, the two sides implemented the Sino-Singapore (Chongqing) agricultural cooperation plan and successfully promoted the normal supply of agricultural special products such as oranges, lemons and chrysanthemums to Southeast Asian markets such as Singapore;

  In the field of talent exchange, the two sides implemented the Sino-Singapore talent training cooperation plan and explored a series of joint training plans such as "outstanding entrepreneurs" and "outstanding engineers";

  In the field of people’s livelihood, the two sides cooperated to promote the construction and commissioning of Raffles Hospital in Chongqing and Zhongxin Cancer Hospital in Chongqing.

  "In the future, the cooperation field of China-Singapore interconnection project will continue to expand and the radiation effect will continue to be released, which is determined by the unique cooperation mode of the project." Sun Xiyong, deputy director of Chongqing Sino-Singapore Demonstration Project Management Bureau, said that the advantage of Sino-Singapore interconnection project is that it has no geographical boundaries and no territorial restrictions, and it is closely related to the development pain points of western China and countries and regions along the Belt and Road, and promotes the "face-to-face" exchanges and cooperation between western China and ASEAN through the "point-to-point" hand in hand between Chongqing and Singapore.
