  Strongly supporting, stimulating vitality, and accelerating innovation, China FAW achieved contrarian growth and strong growth –

  A "reform" brings leap development

  On the assembly line of the FAW Hongqi factory, the heroic "Hongqi" H9 cars caught the eye.

  "Since the launch of this car, there has been a steady stream of orders." The staff told reporters, "Not only H9, but the sales of the entire’Hongqi ‘brand car exceeded 200,000 in 2020, an increase of 42 times in three years."

  In the context of the continuous decline in sales in the global automobile industry and the impact of the epidemic, how can "red flag" vehicles rise against the trend and grow strongly? The answer of the employees is: "It comes from reform."

  Concentrate on advantages to strengthen the brand

  As the first high-end car in New China, the "Hongqi" car has always carried people’s high hopes for national cars. However, the brand has experienced ups and downs since the 1980s.

  Significant changes began in 2017. That year, Xu Liuping was transferred to FAW and launched a new round of reform. The three independent brands, Hongqi, Pentium, and Jiefang, were re-organized and resourced. In particular, "Hongqi" cars were directly operated by FAW Group headquarters, concentrating the best forces to strengthen the brand.

  "Before the reform, Hongqi Automobile was produced and operated as a branch. In 2017, after the brand was directly operated by the group headquarters, a factory dedicated to production was established, and the group headquarters was responsible for coordinating various resources." Wang Caiyun, director of the general management department of Hongqi Factory, said.

  The headquarters of the group has actively optimized the coordination and mobilization of personnel and financial resources of the Hongqi brand, so that the product quality and production scale can be rapidly improved. In this regard, the employees of the Hongqi factory are deeply touched: "In the past, there were only more than 20 professionals on our production line. Now, there are more than 200 people just doing production preparation. In the past, the annual investment was at most a few million yuan, but now it can reach billions of yuan. Three workshops such as stamping, welding, and painting have been created from scratch. The scale of the production base has been expanded by 4 times, and digitalization has been fully realized…"

  "After shouldering the operational function, the functional areas of business at the group headquarters were all demolished and redesigned. Almost all of them had task indicators linked to the development of the red flag, from’management ‘to’dry’." Zeng Xiaojun, director of the system management department/organization management department of FAW Group, said for example. "Although the headquarters had a brand marketing department in the past, it did not sell cars. After the reform, the department was abolished and the marketing center was re-established, which was not only directly responsible for sales, but also added pre-product planning and so on."

  Since 2017, the major institutional adjustment of FAW Group headquarters has been carried out 6 times. After connecting with the market, the problem of headquarters institutionalization has also been solved. The satisfaction of FAW’s grassroots units with headquarters services rose to 91.59%.

  Reform stimulates enterprise vitality

  On the bookshelf of Wang Caiyun’s office, a military order stands out. This was signed by her in FAW’s new round of "All Stand Up, All Staff Compete" last September. Exceeding the performance targets in the military order may result in promotion and salary increase. If you fail to complete it, you may lose your job or even lose your job.

  "All stand up, all employees compete for employment", which originates from FAW’s "four-energy" reform that began in 2017 and is competitive every three years. Wu Jintian, director of the group’s Human Resources compensation management department, told reporters that the core of this reform is value creation-based, performance-based measurement, to achieve "cadres can go up and down, salaries can be high and low, employees can come in and out, and institutions can increase and decrease".

  "Competing for employment based on ability depends on how much value you have created for the enterprise, and you must speak with your results." In the eyes of many FAW cadres, this reform is tantamount to a "deep earthquake".

  Mr. Liu is one of a group of capable young geniuses who want to work. After two rounds of competition in 2017 and 2020, he has become FAW’s youngest senior manager after nine years of work. Previously, it took 16 years at the fastest for employees to enter the senior manager position. The reform has reduced the average age of FAW’s middle-level cadres by about 5 years.

  After the 1980s, Wang Caiyun also achieved a three-level jump in three years due to the "four-ability reform": from a second-level manager, to a senior director, and then to a department director. "Being able to go up and down, in and out, is a manifestation of the vitality of an enterprise," she said.

  With the younger ranks of cadres, many post-80s and post-90s have been entrusted with important responsibilities, provoking the backbone in the research, production and sales system, and "red flag" cars have gradually entered the hearts of "new car buying forces".

  Accelerate the pace of innovation across the board

  When the reporter arrived at the FAW Innovation Technology Research Institute, Cao Lijun, the head of the Comprehensive Technology Management Department, was leading colleagues to study the "14th Five-Year" intellectual property plan.

  In order to comprehensively strengthen its innovation capabilities, in September 2017, FAW kicked off the reform of its scientific research system and restructured the FAW Technology Center, which is known as the "Cradle of China’s Automotive R & D Talents". It established the Research and Development Institute, the Modeling Design Institute, the New Energy Development Institute, and the Intelligent Network Development Institute. In the past three years, it has successively established the Innovation Technology Research Institute, the Materials Research Institute, and the Testing and Testing Institute.

  The overall scientific research structure has changed from "one center" to "Big Dipper", the research direction is more detailed, and the R & D responsibilities are clearer. At the same time, the development of "Hongqi" products has been strengthened. For example, the Design Institute is mainly responsible for the appearance design of the Hongqi brand.

  Wang Caiyun said: "After the establishment of the Design Institute, the’Red Flag ‘has its own family design language, and these are the iconic symbols of the’Red Flag’ car."

  The segmentation of the research and development field has also greatly accelerated the pace of FAW’s follow-up with the latest technologies and exploration of forward-looking technologies. Take the Intelligent Netlink Development Institute as an example, due to a group of personnel specializing in vehicle to everything, the intelligence of Hongqi has been continuously upgraded. The Hongqi EHS9, which was launched in December last year, has been praised by users as "killing many products of the same level in seconds".

  "In the past, ‘Hongqi’ had a single product and not many models. Due to the reform of the scientific research system, new technologies in the industry were quickly reflected in the car, and the speed of product update and iteration has surpassed that of joint venture vehicles." The staff of the final assembly workshop of the Hongqi factory told reporters that the significant improvement in the development and design level not only gave Hongqi more and more "charm points", but also the manufacturability and equipability of products, which will help "Hongqi" usher in a big explosion in production and sales.

  Through comprehensive deepening of reform, China FAW’s independent innovation ability has been significantly enhanced, and 3,508 patents were applied for in 2020, an increase of 19.8% year-on-year; in the past three years, vehicle sales have increased from 3.106 million to 3.706 million, with an average annual growth of 4.5%, and the market share has increased from 11.1% to 14.6%, an increase of 3.5 percentage points.

Chinese scientists have discovered the Milky Way’s giant magnetic ring, which extends from 6,000 light-years to 50,000 light-years from the Milky Way’s center

China News Service, Beijing, May 14 (reporter
Sun Zifa) Chinese Academy of Sciences National Astronomical Observatory released news to the media on May 14, the station Dr. Xu Jun and Han Jinlin researcher by analyzing the pulsar in the Milky Way and the distribution of the Faraday rotation effect of the radio source outside the Milky Way, the latest research found that the Milky Way’s halo (Milky Way) has a huge magnetic ring structure, its magnetic ring extends from 6000 light years to 50,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.

This landmark research paper by Chinese scientists on the magnetic field of the Milky Way has recently been published in the international scientific journal Astrophysical Journal (ApJ), providing crucial observations for the study of cosmic ray particle propagation, galactic gas dynamics, and cosmic magnetic field evolution.

The first author of the paper, Xu Jun, introduced that the origin and evolution of the cosmic magnetic field is a long-standing major problem in astrophysics, and it is also a priority topic for many large radio telescope projects such as the Square Kilometer Array Radio Telescope (SKA). They are all developing and improving polarization measurement capabilities, hoping to make efforts in this direction.

Among them, measuring the large-scale magnetic field structure of the Milky Way is a rather challenging work. Researcher Han Jinlin, who pioneered this field of research, has been deeply involved in the study of the Milky Way’s magnetic field for the past 30 years. He measured the large-scale magnetic field structure of the Milky Way’s disk region (the Milky Way’s disk) by observing the Faraday rotation effect of large-scale pulsars and extragalactic radio sources. He found that the direction of the large-scale magnetic field in the Milky Way’s disk is along the spiral arms and flipped between the spiral arms.

In the galactic halo region, Han Jinlin and others were the first to certify that the Faraday rotation effect has an antisymmetric sign distribution in the inner galactic sky as early as 1997, indicating that the galactic halo above and below the galactic disk has a circumferential magnetic field structure in the opposite direction, and it was subsequently confirmed by more astronomical observation data. It has been widely adopted by the international astronomical community and has become the basic content of the galactic magnetic field structure model. It has also been written into many international classic textbooks.

Han Jinlin, the corresponding author of the paper, pointed out that the size and strength of the magnetic ring structure of the galactic halo have been difficult to measure for more than 20 years, because pulsars and other celestial bodies in the galactic halo region near the sun also show the anti-symmetric distribution of the Faraday effect. Some international scholars speculate that Faraday objected to whether the sky is dominated by the interstellar medium in the local region of the Milky Way near the sun. "So, does this magnetic ring exist in the entire galactic halo or only in the local area? What is the strength and size of the galactic halo magnetic ring?"

In response to these problems, Han Jinlin innovatively proposed in this study that the measurement of the Faraday rotation rate of pulsars near the sun as the contribution of the local interstellar medium be deducted from the value of the Faraday effect sky distribution of the extragalactic radio source, so that the Faraday rotation effect distribution of the giant silver halo can be obtained. Xu Jun collected all the relevant data and used the 500-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), known as the "Chinese Sky Eye", to newly measure many faint pulsars.

After analyzing the data according to this innovative idea, they found that the average Faraday effect over the entire sky exhibits an antisymmetric distribution of galactic coordinates, and that the antisymmetric distribution is no longer limited to the inner galactic region, but fills the entire sky, extending from the central region of the Milky Way to its opposite direction. The results of this study suggest that the magnetic ring in the galactic halo extends from 6,000 light-years from the galactic center to 50,000 light-years (the sun is located about 30,000 light-years). The interstellar medium in the local region near the sun is obviously part of a large magnetic ring, and its basic properties and characteristics are basically the same as those of the large magnetic ring, but its effect is stronger because it penetrates deep into the galactic disk.

"I had this idea more than 20 years ago. I have been slowly accumulating data and finally got it." Han Jinlin said.

The only one in 200,000! Eta Ursae Majoris Flying Fish Edition is listed, all departments can be equipped with CDC, and Aisin 8AT is added.

The only system within 200,000 can be equipped with CDC electromagnetic suspension, and Aisin 8AT gearbox has been added. The upgrade of Eta Ursae Majoris Feiyu Edition is really stable!

On August 25th, the Star Way Eta Ursae Majoris Flying Fish Edition was officially launched at the Chengdu Auto Show in 2023, and four models were launched, with the price range of 16.78-206,800 yuan. Draw the key points for everyone: Eta Ursae Majoris two-wheel drive vehicle is also equipped with flying fish super-sensing chassis for the first time, making it the only electromagnetic suspension system with CDC in 200,000. This is not enough. Four-wheel drive models add Aisin 8AT gearbox, which further improves the comfort of the whole vehicle. Below, let’s learn more about the specific situation with "Car Circle".

Flying fish extrasensory chassis+Aixin 8AT

Fan Xing, deputy general manager of Xingtu Marketing Center, said that through the analysis of the big data of car buyers in Eta Ursae Majoris, more than 67% people chose the flying fish extrasensory chassis. In order to further meet the market demand and users’ expectations, and deepen the concept of luxury equality, Eta Ursae Majoris Flying Fish Edition came into being. Therefore, Eta Ursae Majoris Flying Fish Edition is equipped with flying fish super-sensing chassis for two-wheel drive vehicles for the first time, becoming the only vehicle with CDC electromagnetic suspension system within 200,000 years.

So, what does the flying fish extrasensory chassis mean to users? What I have to mention here is the CDC electromagnetic suspension system. Speaking of this, you may have a little understanding. After all, as one of the core elements of the traditional luxury car driving sense, CDC electromagnetic suspension is an essential basic configuration for luxury cars. Simply put, a CDC is a good car.

Why do you say that? Luxury cars must pay attention to comfort, and CDC is an important support for comfort. Circle brother learned that CDC can adjust the damping performance in real time according to the road conditions, so that the vehicle can achieve both handling and comfort while driving. Taking the CDC electromagnetic suspension of the flying fish extrasensory chassis as an example, with the support of five body posture monitoring sensors, four electromagnetic shock absorbers and one controller, the phenomenon of vehicle head-up can be reduced by 36%, the braking nod can be weakened by 30%, the anti-roll ability and isolation performance can be improved by 5% and 40% respectively, and the "stability" can be brought into full play. Of course, the global digital chassis also supports OTA upgrade, so that users’ cars are always new.

In addition to CDC, the flying fish extrasensory chassis is also equipped with Soft Stop system, chassis hydraulic vibration isolation system and other functions, which also has excellent performance in reducing road vibration caused by bumpy road conditions and optimizing NVH performance. In terms of power, Eta Ursae Majoris Feiyu Edition also added a power combination of 2.0T+ Aisin 8AT, which brought better shift smoothness and fuel economy. It can be said that the flying fish extrasensory chassis+Aisin 8AT+ four-wheel drive system makes users feel the "magnetic levitation"-like comfortable experience.

Star way, is steadily upward.

At the event site, Fan Xing, deputy general manager of Xingtu Marketing Center, also made an in-depth analysis of the user groups in Eta Ursae Majoris. Since its listing in February, Eta Ursae Majoris has built brand-new and higher value with luxury, comfort and intelligence, which has been well received by the market and users.

The data shows that among car buyers in Eta Ursae Majoris, the proportion of car owners in first-tier cities is 36%, the number of people with higher education is as high as 66%, and the proportion of people with annual income of 100,000 to 300,000 yuan is as high as 77%. In terms of professional characteristics, doctors, teachers and civil servants have become the main customer groups in Eta Ursae Majoris. Another indicator is that 9% of customers come from luxury brand owners such as BBA. Can you stand it? To sum up, the user portrait of Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris is basically the new middle class in the city. Needless to say, this "gold content" will be an important support for the upward breakthrough of Xingtu brand.

In addition to the gold content of user portraits, sales data can also explain the problem. Judging from the data of the first seven months of this year, the cumulative sales volume of Xingtu brand reached 53,700 units, a year-on-year increase of 133%. Among them, the monthly sales in July directly exceeded 10,000 vehicles, continuing the strong growth trend. After the global sales volume has broken 10,000 vehicles, Starway’s next goal is to break 10,000 vehicles in China. In the future, driven by the Eta Ursae Majoris Flying Fish Edition, the brand-new Lingyun, Lanyue and the upcoming Star Age series, Star Road will also be steadily upward, moving towards the "BBE(EXEED)" market structure.

Finally, what do you think of Eta Ursae Majoris Flying Fish Edition?

New energy used cars have a low value of 140,000. After buying for two years, 35,000 is not wanted.

  Zhongxin Jingwei Client, September 13th (Fu Yumei) Recently, China Automobile Finance and Hedge Rate Research Committee released "2019 China Automobile Hedge Rate Report" (hereinafter referred to as "Report"), which showed that the average hedging rate of mainstream new energy vehicles in the past three years was only 32.31%, much lower than that of traditional fuel vehicles. Judging from the one-year preservation rate of pure electric vehicles, except for Tesla, which is over 60%, the preservation rates of other models are generally low.

  This data has attracted the concern of some new energy owners: a new energy vehicle with a starting time of more than 100,000 yuan is only worth tens of thousands of yuan a year? The current situation of low hedging rate has once again attracted the attention of the new energy used car market inside and outside the industry.

  In the slogan of a second-hand trading market in Beijing, Xin Jingwei Fu Yumei took a photo.

  Low hedging rate leads to the obstruction of profit space.

  The Report takes the cruising range of 300 kilometers as the dividing line, and counts the ranking of the preservation rate of one-year-old pure electric vehicles with cruising range less than 300 kilometers and more than 300 kilometers respectively.

  According to the "Report", among the top ten pure electric vehicles with a maximum cruising range of not less than 300 kilometers and a one-year-old car, Tesla MODEL X and MODEL S rank in the top two, with preservation rates of 68.09% and 64.75% respectively; Weilai ES8 ranked third with a hedging rate of 47.89%. Geely Emgrand sedan and Chang ‘an Yidong New Energy ranked the last two, with the preservation rates of 38.03% and 36.82 respectively.

  Among the top ten pure electric vehicles with a cruising range of less than 300 kilometers and a one-year-old car, BMW i3 ranks first with a value-preserving rate of 46.55%. Beiqi New Energy EU260 maintains a value of 30.91%, ranking second; The preservation rate of the other eight models is below 30%.

  Compared with fuel vehicles, the vehicle maintenance rate within three years is still basically maintained at around 59%-75%.

  Mr. Sun, a new energy used car dealer in Beijing, told the Zhongxin Jingwei client that after a year of using a new energy vehicle, most of them have only one-third of the residual value, which is equivalent to a new energy vehicle bought at an original price of more than 100,000 yuan. Only tens of thousands of pieces can be sold when it is sold. "Many new energy owners can’t accept it when they come to consult for the first time. I don’t believe that the car that I have only been driving for one year has depreciated so much."

  Mr. Sun pointed out that the low maintenance rate of new energy used cars also led to its profit margin being much lower than that of fuel vehicles. "The profit of new energy used cars generally does not exceed 3,000 yuan, and the circulation is not very fast. In contrast, the profit of a 5-7-year-old fuel vehicle is higher than that of a 1-year-old new energy vehicle. But if you switch to a new energy vehicle a few years ago, you can’t sell it now. "

  Due to low profits and many restrictions, the recognition of new energy used cars in the market is not strong. During the visit to the used car trading market, the Sino-Singapore Jingwei client communicated with several dealers. They said that the business of new energy used cars is not good because of the low rate of preservation. One of the dealers still has a backlog of a 2017 JAC iEV6E recovered three months ago. The original price of the car purchased with tax was close to 140,000, and now the price is only 35,000 yuan. He said that if you want to collect new energy used cars, you must be no more than three years old. "And it is best to be the top brands such as Tesla, BAIC and BYD, otherwise it is very likely to become ‘ Trading at a loss ’ 。”

  Short battery life is the "culprit"?

  In addition to the offline trading market, the Sino-Singapore Jingwei client also found that the low-priced sale of new energy used cars has become a common phenomenon when consulting some online trading platforms for used cars. Some old models three years ago, the price is even far lower than 1/3 of the original price. So, what is the reason for such a low rate of preservation of new energy used cars?

  Wang Yongqing, head of used car inspection technology of Youxin, told the client of Zhongxin Jingwei: "The first reason for this phenomenon is that the early electric vehicles had a short cruising range and could not even meet the daily driving needs after the batteries aged. In addition, the after-sales maintenance service of new energy vehicles has not been fully improved, and the complaint rate is high. Once some manufacturers’ vehicles are transferred, they no longer enjoy the original warranty. "

  Jia Xinguang, executive director of china automobile dealers association, also said that compared with fuel vehicles, the low maintenance rate of new energy used cars mainly comes from their battery problems. "Even if the engine works for 3 to 5 years, the battery is facing the problem of easy aging."

  According to the 2018 China New Energy Vehicle Industry Report released by iResearch, 40% of the cost of new energy vehicles is concentrated on power batteries. According to many new energy vehicle owners, because there is no subsidy, the cost of replacing the power battery is sometimes even similar to buying a new car. Mr. Sun pointed out that under normal circumstances, the battery life of new energy vehicles is between 4 and 6 years, and the service life of some poor quality batteries is shorter. The cost of replacing batteries determines that it cannot raise the price in the market.

  In addition, many people in the industry report that compared with fuel vehicles, new energy used cars lack a perfect evaluation system, which is indispensable in the pricing process of used cars. Wang Xiaoyu, co-founder and vice-president of Cheduoduo Group, pointed out at the 2019 Summit on User Value and Maintenance Rate of New Energy Vehicles that the evaluation system of new energy used cars is still not perfect, especially the problem of difficult battery evaluation, which makes it face great challenges.

  It is understood that with the development demand of the new energy used car market, many platforms have begun to explore corresponding solutions. For example, the second-hand car platform of Guazi recently announced that it has started the evaluation and research on the battery part of new energy vehicles, and established a "car with many brains" to evaluate and price used cars according to the energy consumption rate, driving range and charging efficiency of new energy vehicles. The Youxin used car platform has also begun to digitize vehicle information by means of video detection and VR, and visually present the quality of batteries and vehicle sources.

  The speed of upgrading is fast, and the data of hedging rate remains to be seen.

  It is worth noting that the limitation of the market size of the new energy used car itself makes the current situation of its hedging rate face uncertainty. Ding Shaoguang, head of melon seeds used car brand, told Zhongxin Jingwei client that the proportion of new energy vehicles is still too small compared with fuel vehicles, so the relative market size of new energy used cars is not large.

  Yan Jinghui, an expert from the china automobile dealers association Expert Committee, also pointed out that the current data on the hedge ratio remains to be seen because the number of new energy vehicles entering the used car market is limited.

  Yan Jinghui said that most of the used cars entering the new energy market are old cars with a cruising range of less than 200 kilometers. Because of the fast replacement frequency of new energy vehicles, few car owners are willing to accept used cars with too much performance difference.

  Wang Yongqing also stressed that the second-hand cars with new energy are easy to fall behind in technology, while consumers are relatively more willing to buy models with more advanced technology.

  In July this year, less than four months before the release of the 2019 Tucki G3, Xpeng Motors released the 2020 Tucki G3. In contrast, the 2020 driving range has increased by more than 100 kilometers, but the price is not much different. This phenomenon angered the old car owners, led to many rights protection incidents, and also made Xpeng Motors encounter the biggest crisis since its listing.

  Yan Jinghui said that the most direct performance of new energy vehicles to launch new models is the increase in cruising range, and the old cars are easily eliminated by the market, which is one of the reasons for its serious depreciation problem.

  Expert: The problem of hedging rate may be improved in the future.

  In view of the market pain points faced by new energy used cars, the Report proposes that in addition to Tesla’s brand effect, businesses such as "value-preserving repurchase" and manufacturer-certified used cars provided by manufacturers have realized effective strategies to increase the channel and value-preserving rate, which plays an important role in improving the value-preserving rate of electric vehicles.

  The owner of a new energy source in Beijing told the Zhongxin Jingwei client that he expected manufacturers and 4S stores to provide corresponding preferential services, such as replacement services, rather than directly reselling them in the second-hand market at low prices.

  The Zhongxin Jingwei client consulted a 4S shop with a domestic new energy vehicle with an original price of 140,000 yuan, two years’ purchase and a cruising range of 200 kilometers. The staff said that the replacement price was about 30,000 yuan, but an additional subsidy of 5,000 yuan could be provided. It is understood that many 4S stores provide subsidies ranging from several thousand yuan to 10 thousand yuan for replacement services, and support cross-brand car replacement.

  Car companies are also introducing corresponding measures. A few days ago, Weimar released a user care plan, hoping to alleviate users’ anxiety about battery performance and preservation rate through services such as vehicle replacement and upgrading, lifetime warranty of power battery, vehicle replacement and transfer.

  "Changing electricity, repurchasing, and sharing, these measures may improve the current low value-added rate of new energy used cars." Jia Xinguang said. He also stressed that in order to improve the preservation rate of new energy vehicles, it is still necessary to focus on its biggest pain point, that is, work hard on power batteries.

  Many people are optimistic about the future of the new energy used car market. Yan Jinghui said that with the gradual stabilization of the quality of new energy vehicles, new energy vehicles with a cruising range of more than 250 have gradually entered the used car market, and the supporting facilities such as charging piles have become increasingly perfect. With the efforts of all parties, the problem of the value preservation rate of new energy used cars will gradually be improved.

  Mr. Sun also told the Zhongxin Jingwei client that there are not many dealers who specialize in new energy used car business like him in the Beijing used car trading market. "There may not be one in hundreds." However, he believes that under the situation that the used car market of fuel vehicles is becoming increasingly saturated, new energy vehicles that gradually enter the mainstream vision will become the future trend. He hopes to pass the current "bottleneck period" as soon as possible and seize the market share of new energy used cars before the trend comes.

  Wang Yongqing said that at present, new energy vehicles are in a high-speed development stage, and practitioners in the new energy used car industry need to keep up with the development of the industry, respond in time, do a good job in technical iteration, and meet the needs of consumers in a series of after-sales services such as maintenance.

The birth of the music of the constitutional oath ceremony played by the PLA Military Orchestra

  This is the first time since the founding of the Republic that a grand constitutional oath ceremony was held at the National People’s Congress. The people of the whole country witnessed this solemn and sacred process through television cameras.

  As part of the swearing-in ceremony of the national leaders’ constitution, the two pieces of music, the swearing-in ceremony song and the chairman’s horn, were specially created by the PLA Military Orchestra and have not been played in public before.

  "Now hold the constitutional oath ceremony of the first meeting of the 13th National People’s Congress of the People’s Republic of China!" At 10: 50 am on March 17th, a solemn and powerful bugle sounded at the Great Hall of the People. With the music played by the Military Orchestra of China People’s Liberation Army, the swearing-in ceremony of the Constitution kicked off. The ceremonial soldiers marched forward, escorting the Constitution of People’s Republic of China (PRC) and placing it on the oath platform.

  接着,新当选的国家主席、中央军委主席习近平从主席团座席起身走向宣誓台时,又一段铿锵激昂的号角奏响,将整个宪法宣誓仪式烘托得更加神圣与庄严。

  创 作

  “今年2月初,全国人大交给我们一项任务——为宪法宣誓仪式创作一首乐曲。”解放军军乐团副团长张海峰告诉记者。

  这样的创作,看似开放自由,实则限制颇多,音乐的时长、风格、元素等都需要考虑仪式的实际情况。

  军乐团经过研究,首先将音乐形式确定为号角。“号角,有昭示的含义。”在宪法宣誓仪式中,宣誓人庄重地诵读誓词是整个仪式最重要最核心的部分。在此之前演奏号角,昭示神圣的一刻即将来临,最为合适。

  “第一,选用国歌作为音乐素材;第二,最后以长音收尾;第三,乐曲的配器增加长号。”代表军乐团在人民大会堂里工作了34年的张海峰根据自己的经验给创作者提出建议。

  在这样重要的场合上,使用的音乐元素需要慎重考虑,国歌无疑非常合适——它是国家的象征,足够庄重,仪式感强。

  乐曲以长音结尾,则蕴含微调的妙处。“举行宪法宣誓仪式时,宣誓人既可能是一位领导人,也可能是数位领导人,走到宣誓台前的脚步有快有慢。以长音收尾,便于根据实际情况对尾音做出调整。”张副团长说。

  至于乐器的选用,“通常说来,号角用小号作为主要乐器。但增加长号后,声部可以由3个变为8个。”短短20秒的乐曲才能够表现足够丰富的内涵。

  最终,创作了“9·3”阅兵号角、2018年元旦天安门升旗号角等作品的解放军军乐团创作室副主任郭思达完成了作曲任务。作品交回人大审定后,获得通过。军乐团又收到建议,再创作一首。

  “新的曲子可以使用国际歌作为素材,并增加乐器小军鼓。”张海峰从党代会闭幕式上演奏的国际歌得到灵感。

  最终,第一首曲子被选作宣誓仪式曲,第二首曲子由于打击乐的加入,节奏感强,更加激昂奋发、铿锵有力,成为主席出场号角。

  准 备

  解放军军乐团此次演奏宣誓仪式曲和主席出场号角时,在形式上做出了特别安排——通常只用在室外举行的国家典礼上的礼号,首次走进了人民大会堂。八面号旗挂在微微上扬的号管上,给人以耳目一新的感觉,仪式感更强,烘托典礼的隆重。

  In order to ensure that there are no mistakes in the performance at the constitutional oath ceremony, "I went to the General Assembly Hall to rehearse for five times." As the conductor of live performance at the venue, Zhang Haifeng said.

  However, the first rehearsal found problems. Generally, when a band plays, a certain distance will be left between the conductor and the musician, so that the musician can observe the conductor’s movements. However, limited by the space in the Great Hall of the People, there is only one row of seats between the conductor and the first row of musicians, and the stations are almost parallel. In the past, the band could make trombone players stand back by adjusting their formation. But this time, there are only eight trumpeters, eight trombones and two military drummers. In this way, the distance between the trombone player and the conductor is too close, and the line of sight is just blocked by the horn of the trombone, and the conductor’s action is completely invisible.

  In order to solve this problem, the military orchestra asked the musical instrument support personnel who should have been sitting in the back row to leave to make room, and the musicians moved back two rows as a whole.

  Play

  Eighteen performers of the PLA Military Orchestra have been carefully selected from the orchestra and participated in many important performance activities. They are of excellent quality and confident in their performances.

  However, because of the many "firsts" of activities, there is no experience to refer to, and I am still nervous. "The procedures for swearing-in activities need to be remembered in particular." For example, before president and the chairman of the Central Military Commission take the oath, the host of the conference will first announce the ceremony, and then broadcast it once by the live broadcast host of the conference. At this time, the performance will start; Before the vice chairman and members of the Central Military Commission take the oath collectively, the host of the live broadcast will increase the password of "Please take the oath in place".

  Before the performance, although Zhang Haifeng had memorized the procedure, his heart was still tense. The same is true for musicians. "At that time, some trumpeters were already inhaling and ready to play, but I couldn’t beat until the password was finished." Zhang Haifeng said, "All the comrades in the regiment are sweating for me."

  At the end of the performance, Zhang Haifeng felt proud and lucky. Proud, he participated in such groundbreaking activities on such a solemn and sacred occasion as a live conductor on behalf of the military orchestra. Fortunately, he caught up with the new era. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the frequency of military orchestras participating in major foreign affairs activities has become higher and higher, which has made him personally feel that the international status of the motherland is constantly improving and the country’s development is getting better and better.

  Tips and representative works

  The Military Orchestra of China People’s Liberation Army belongs to the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission.

Yuanxiao is not suitable for breakfast. How to eat delicious Yuanxiao?

  Every Lantern Festival, that is, on the fifteenth day of the first month, there are all kinds of Yuanxiao, glutinous rice balls and rice cakes. I don’t know what to do. In fact, these Yuanxiao are mainly made of glutinous rice. The common glutinous rice is white and purple, and their nutritional components are basically similar to rice. Every 100 grams of glutinous rice contains about 7 grams of protein, 75 grams of carbohydrates and various vitamins. Yuanxiao and Tangyuan with different flavors are made through processing and ingredients, but their nutritional value is much higher than that of ordinary rice flour.

  Yuanxiao is not suitable for breakfast.

  The main component of Yuanxiao or Tangyuan is glutinous rice flour, which contains high carbohydrate, while the stuffing is mainly pure sugar and fruit, plus a large proportion of vegetable oil or animal oil, which has high nutrition and calories.

  Many people like to eat Yuanxiao as breakfast, which is not desirable. Li Yanling explained that in the morning, people’s gastrointestinal function is the weakest, and the main raw material of Yuanxiao skin is glutinous rice, which is highly viscous and difficult to digest. Once eating too much, it will cause pantothenic acid, heartburn and nausea. In addition, try not to eat Yuanxiao before going to bed, otherwise it will lead to bloating.

  When is the best time to eat Yuanxiao and Tangyuan except for breakfast and before going to bed?

  Experts suggest that it is best to eat between meals, 4 to 8 at a time. While eating Yuanxiao and Tangyuan, you can’t eat other foods with high sugar content. It should be noted that when eating Yuanxiao and Tangyuan, you should nibble slowly to avoid being scalded or choking your throat or trachea, causing injury. In addition, don’t eat cold Yuanxiao and fried Yuanxiao.

  After eating Yuanxiao and Tangyuan, it is best to take a walk, do exercise, facilitate gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote digestion, or eat some food that helps digestion. Chinese medicine believes that hawthorn has the effects of eliminating stagnation, astringing and stopping dysentery, promoting blood circulation and removing stasis. When eating Yuanxiao with hawthorn, it can help digestion and guide stagnation, which is beneficial to digestion. In addition, you can also eat some Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets and yeast tablets to help digestion.

  What is the best match for Yuanxiao?

  Yuanxiao is made of sticky glutinous rice, and with compound stuffing, it is not easy to digest, so it’s okay to eat less. It is suggested that Yuanxiao should be accompanied by some digestive foods, such as hawthorn, barley wort, dried tangerine peel, raw radish and so on. Especially, raw radish contains mustard oil and crude fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, eliminate stagnation, relax the stomach, help to discharge waste in the body, and also reduce the absorption of oil.

  Also remind: although Yuanxiao is delicious, it should be moderate, not for everyone. Patients with diabetes, kidney disease, chronic pancreatitis and cholecystitis should not eat it, especially Yuanxiao, which is processed with sweeteners. Diabetic patients should also consider the total carbohydrate control.

  Yuanxiao’s "Original Soup into Original Food"

  After eating dumplings and cooking noodles, people often have a sentence to remind you not to throw away the soup. In fact, from a nutritional point of view, it is more extensive than "original soup to original food". How about eating Yuanxiao?

  When eating Yuanxiao, don’t forget to "eat the original soup". Glutinous rice flour contains more water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin B1 and vitamin B2, which are very important to human health. During the cooking process, some of them are dissolved in the soup. According to the determination, 45%-50% of the vitamin B1 is lost, and most of them are dissolved in the soup.

  Vitamin B1 can promote the synthesis of acetylcholine in human body, thus ensuring normal gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestive gland secretion. If lacking, it will directly affect the normal digestion, absorption and utilization of the human body. In addition, people also consciously use vegetable juice and other methods to add more food to the soup. In order to obtain nutrients more effectively, don’t forget to eat Yuanxiao soup.

  Who should not eat Yuanxiao?

  Diabetic patients: The sugar content of Yuanxiao is high. If patients covet the delicious food, their blood sugar will rise sharply, which will not only aggravate their illness, but also induce ketoacidosis.

  Patients with ulcer disease: Eating Yuanxiao can increase gastric acid secretion, aggravate the stimulation to ulcer surface, and even induce gastric bleeding and gastric perforation in severe cases.

  Gastrointestinal dysfunction: Yuanxiao is made of glutinous rice flour, which is sticky and difficult to digest. After eating, it can lead to stomach pain, bloating, belching, acid reflux and even diarrhea.

  Patients with acute gastroenteritis: The patient’s gastrointestinal tract is in a state of congestion and edema. Patients should eat some digestible foods such as rice soup and lotus root starch. Eating Yuanxiao will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

  Patients with high fever: The gastrointestinal tract of patients is relatively inhibited when they have fever, so they should eat some easily digestible food such as liquid food, otherwise it will aggravate the condition.

  Patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and gout: These patients are in danger of aggravating their condition by eating Yuanxiao, so it is advisable to eat less.

  Early recovery from a long illness: At this time, although the patient’s appetite has improved, his digestive function is still weak, and excessive consumption of Yuanxiao is not conducive to recovery.

  Old and infirm people: these people have decreased digestive function and lost teeth, especially the old people’s swallowing reflex is relatively slow, which may cause the Lantern Festival to get stuck in the throat due to rapid swallowing, leading to breathing difficulties and even suffocation and death.

  Infants and young children: Children’s digestive function is weak, and their swallowing reflex has not been fully developed. Therefore, when eating Yuanxiao, they should not eat it whole. They should be divided into 1/4, and then eat the second bite after eating one bite. Be sure to chew slowly in case something goes wrong.

  Four tips for cooking Yuanxiao.

  Under boiling water: After the water is boiled, put the Yuanxiao into the pot, gently push it away with a spoon, and let it rotate for several weeks without sticking to the pot wall.

  Slow fire cooking: after the Lantern Festival floats, quickly switch to slow fire. Otherwise, the Lantern Festival keeps rolling, and it is hard to eat when cooked outside.

  Point cold water: during the cooking process, add a small amount of cold water every time the pot is opened, so as to keep the Yuanxiao in the pot in a rolling state. Boil the water for two or three times, then cook for a while, and you can eat it. The dumplings cooked in this way are soft and hard, sweet and sticky.

  Cooking in time: the glutinous rice flour with raw Yuanxiao has more water content, which will deteriorate if it is left for a long time, and it is easy to boil when it is frozen. It is best to cook and eat the Lantern Festival now, and don’t leave it for more than 3 days. Once the color of the Lantern Festival is changed, it can’t be eaten. Now buy quick-frozen Yuanxiao should also be eaten in time, it is best not to store it for more than a week.

  In addition, when tasting Yuanxiao, whether it is boiled or fried, it should be cooked thoroughly. When frying Yuanxiao, it’s best to stick some holes in it to prevent it from bursting and scalding.

Alec Su fashion blockbusters talk about the 20-year war of transforming idol stars

        He can ask anything he says. Put on a posture to meet the real knife and gun.

        It was a happy day, because there was always the sound of Alec Su laughing in the studio. He made people feel relaxed except for the moment when the shutter flashed. At first glance, he is still the same as before, except that he has more muscular lines and a slightly darker complexion. His smile is no longer flattering, but with stubble, stamping the floor and patting his thighs.

        Alec Su tried his best to make people realize that handsome guys get old. When everyone is "staying young forever", he presents the biggest difference in 20 years, which makes people directly face this "darling tiger" who is nearly 40 years old. This is not easy, because during his Little Tiger and TV series, the image of red lips and white teeth was too vivid, and people thought that even if he was old, he was an old boy.

        Debut at the age of 15, Alec Su couldn’t distinguish between dreams and reality. When Little Tiger was dissolved, he didn’t know how to leave. It was not until the day of "Goodbye" that he foolishly walked from the background to the stage that he realized that these songs might not be sung in the future and finally understood that parting was such a thing.

        After three years in college, I wanted to change my major, but I didn’t, so I dropped out of school. "It was a big storm, because before ‘ Dear Tiger ’ The image is so deified that everyone thinks I shouldn’t do anything beyond common sense. I have flaws and many people can’t stand it. " Of course, he couldn’t stand the criticism and abuse all over the sky, so he went to England with his bag on his back, stayed for a few months, had almost no money, and came back to face life. However, he can’t find a home.

        "Frankly speaking, I don’t have ‘ Home ’ The concept of. Because our family is not harmonious. Actually, I moved out when I was in college. Now, many years have passed. Looking back, I fled this home because I became a Little Tiger and had money. But I didn’t realize it at that time. I just felt rebellious and free at that time. Later, four people in our family lived in four different places. " Next, Alec Su came to the mainland to film, starting with Princess Pearl, which lasted for almost 10 years, and his family were living their own lives. Only with a better income, he can let his mother retire and let his brother live a better life.

Create another ChatGPT? The founder of OpenAI said to open the interface and create killer applications.

OpenAI also wants to build another "killer" application similar to ChatGPT.

On March 9th, local time, Reuters reported that Sam Altman, founder and CEO of OpenAI, said at the Morgan Stanley conference that the company would focus on building a platform, opening API interfaces to developers and creating "killer apps" like ChatGPT.

At present, the popularity of ChatGPT is high. Internet analyst Similarweb said that since its launch in November last year, the popularity of ChatGPT has soared, and the number of visits to the website has increased from 616 million in January this year to over 1 billion now.

With the rising popularity, the company not only launched the paid service ChatGPT Plus to individual users, but also began to seek cooperation with enterprises. Altman said that OpenAI is working with corporate customers to train models in specific areas in order to effectively reduce the number of errors in AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems.

He mentioned that companies working with OpenAI can use the company’s data and make copies of models to reduce data security problems. For example, he said that Bain & Company, a management consulting company, cooperated with OpenAI to provide personalized advertising copy and images for companies such as Coca-Cola by using its ChatGPT and DALL-E platforms.

In addition, Altman added that individual users should have more control over the way AI (Artificial Intelligence) works. The company said last month that it was upgrading the chat bot to allow users to customize it to solve the error of artificial intelligence. He said, "We will soon introduce more things to give users more control over the system so that it can act in different ways."

Altman also admitted that the accuracy of the current AI system cannot reach 100%, but he predicted that applications such as AI doctors and AI lawyers would soon appear on mobile phones.

In fact, OpenAI announced on March 1st that it had introduced API and allowed any enterprise to build ChatGPT technology in their own applications, websites, products and services. Snap, Quizlet, Instacart and Shopify were early adopters of ChatGPT API.

According to public information, API is an application programming interface, which can realize the communication between computer software. Through API interface, developers can develop applications without accessing source code or understanding the details of internal working mechanism. Amazon’s official website gives an example-the software system of the Meteorological Bureau includes daily weather data, and the weather application on the user’s mobile phone "talks" with the system through the API, and displays the latest weather information every day on the mobile phone.

Previously, Greg Brockman, president and chairman of OpenAI, said that ChatGPT API is supported by GPT-3.5-turbo, a natural language model, in which "turbo" represents an optimized version of GPT-3.5, with faster response speed. This model adopts homologous technology with the popular ChatGPT, which is based on the enhanced version of GPT-3.

TechCrunch, an American technology media, said that the initial motivation of OpenAI to develop GPT-3.5-turbo may be to reduce the computing cost of ChatGPT. Altman once said on Twitter that the cost of ChatGPT’s dialogue with users is "amazing", and each conversation needs to cost a few cents or more.

It is worth noting that a new generation of natural language processing model GPT-4 will be launched next week. On March 9, local time, Andreas Braun, chief technology officer of Microsoft Germany, mentioned in an AI (Artificial Intelligence) activity, "We will launch GPT-4 next week, which will be a multimodal models that can provide completely different possibilities, such as supporting video."

In addition, on March 16th, Microsoft will hold an online activity of "Artificial Intelligence Leading Future Work" to showcase Microsoft’s latest AI technology and discuss the application and development of artificial intelligence in work scenarios.

How does AI deeply change the industry?

Generally speaking, artificial intelligence has become an indispensable technology in various industries. By applying artificial intelligence technology, we can improve the efficiency and quality of all walks of life, and at the same time bring people a more convenient lifestyle. With the continuous development of technology, artificial intelligence will continue to deeply transform all walks of life in the future, bringing more benefits and convenience to mankind.
