On November 15th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the contents of the Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products (the 377th batch) and the Catalogue of Energy-saving and New Energy-using Vehicles with Vehicle and Vessel Tax Relief (the 56th batch), and two Xiaomi brand pure electric cars were listed.

As far as the two pure electric cars declared this time are concerned, among the two models, the model BJ7000MBEVA1 is equipped with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited ternary lithium-ion battery, and there is no lidar. The peak power of the driving motor is 220kW or 275kW, and the motor is from Suzhou Huichuan United Power System Co., Ltd.; The model BJ7000MBEVR2 is equipped with BYD Foday lithium iron phosphate battery, with optional laser radar. The peak power of the driving motor is 220kW, and the motor comes from United Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd.

In terms of body, the length, width and wheelbase of the two Xiaomi cars are 4997mm, 1963mm and 3000mm respectively, and the heights are different, which are 1440mm and 1455mm respectively. In addition, both Xiaomi cars have the "Xiaomi" logo in front of them. At the rear of the car, both cars show the tail sign "Beijing Xiaomi".

According to the information, the trademarks of the two pure electric cars are Xiaomi brand, the company name is Beijing Automotive Group Off-road Vehicle Co., Ltd., the registered address is No.1 Tongxin Road, Zhaofeng Industrial Base, Zhaoquanying Town, Shunyi District, Beijing, and the production address is No.21 Courtyard, Huanjing Road, Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone.

It should be noted that among the above addresses, the former is the location of Beijing Automotive Group Off-road Vehicle Co., Ltd.; The latter is Xiaomi’s new automobile factory in Yizhuang area. According to the market view, according to the application information, Xiaomi Automobile may still be looking for Beiqi off-road in terms of production qualification, but the specific manufacturing process will still be carried out in Xiaomi’s self-built factory.

According to the previously disclosed plan, Xiaomi Automobile Factory will be built in two phases, of which the first phase covers an area of about 720,000 square meters and has an annual production capacity of 150,000 vehicles, which will be completed in June 2023; The second phase is scheduled to start in 2024 and be completed in 2025. According to public information, the relevant factory buildings of Xiaomi Automobile Phase I Factory passed the acceptance on June 12.

It is worth noting that on November 8, some media reported that several buses of BAIC Group appeared in Xiaomi Science and Technology Park to participate in Xiaomi’s closed meeting. Participants told the media: "This closed-door meeting only invited core customers, involving Xiaomi mobile phones and automobile-related supply chain enterprises."

From the outside world, this is a key signal for the cooperation between Xiaomi and BAIC Group. At the same time, the tail mark of "Beijing Xiaomi" may mean that Xiaomi Automobile will adopt a production mode similar to Beijing Benz, that is, the two parties will jointly invest or produce it on behalf of BAIC Group.

Regarding the vehicle production and the cooperation mode between the two parties, Time Finance asked the public relations staff of Xiaomi Group for details. As of press time, the other party did not reply. Earlier, regarding the news that Xiaomi obtained the qualification of Baowo automobile production, the public relations staff of Xiaomi Group once said to Time Finance that "no comment."

In October this year, Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Group, once said that Xiaomi Automobile is progressing smoothly and will be officially listed in the first half of 2024. In addition, according to the first financial report, Xiaomi Automobile will start mass production in December this year, and will be listed and sold around March next year.

Judging from the body size and power mode of the two new cars announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, their competitors may include Aouita 12, Weilai ET7, Zhijie S7 and other medium and large pure electric cars.

Time Finance asked Xiaomi Group for details about the time to market and the price of new Xiaomi cars. As of press time, the other party did not reply. At the same time, for information such as cooperation between the two parties, relevant persons of BAIC Group responded that there is no official reply at present.

Tianyancha App shows that Xiaomi’s Xiaomi Automobile Co., Ltd. and Xiaomi Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. were established in 2021, and the legal representative is Lei Jun. Xiaomi Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. has applied for thousands of automobile-related patents, of which nearly 600 patents have been authorized, involving motor, vehicle control, battery, automobile structure, autonomous driving and other automobile software and hardware-related fields.

In addition, Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd. has applied to register a number of "Xiaomi Automobile" trademarks, and the current trademark status is mostly registered. In 2022, the number of participants in the company was 420.

Read the original text

On the afternoon of December 28th, Xiaomi Auto held a technical conference with the theme of "Technology Leaping, Man and Vehicle Integration". Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of the group, previously said, "This time, only technology will be issued, and no products will be issued."

Since 2021, the car-making business that "gambles" on Lei Jun’s lifelong reputation is about to shine from ideal to reality after 1000 days of deep cultivation. During the car-making period, Lei Jun also compared more than 150 friendly car models. Then, what black technologies will Xiaomi car be listed soon? And which suppliers jointly support the technical base? On the basis of the press conference, Xiaomi automobile suppliers listed on A-shares may bring us some answers.

There are more than 70 A-share suppliers.

In 2023, China’s automobile industry experienced ups and downs. Under the extreme price war of new energy automobile enterprises, fuel vehicles were in a dilemma of attack and defense. Not only that, some new automobile-making forces also fell behind in the competition because they could not keep up with the market pace. The industry predicts that the competition in the automobile industry will be more intense in 2024.

In this context, the market is inevitably more worried about Xiaomi, which has been officially announced for three years and has not yet launched a production car. However, Xiaomi’s past successful experience has made the market look forward to it.

On November 15th, Xiaomi SU7 Max pure electric car and SU7 pure electric car officially landed in the 377th batch of "Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which means that Xiaomi Automobile is not far from listing. According to market news, Xiaomi Automobile plans to load 300 vehicles in December, and make full preparations for batch delivery next year.

However, in addition to the information disclosed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Xiaomi Automobile has not disclosed more product information at present, and the technical conference held on December 28 will undoubtedly become the closest contact between the market and Xiaomi Automobile before mass production delivery.

Lei Jun also introduced a series of leading technologies of Xiaomi SU7 at this conference. Such as ultra-high-speed motor (V8s speed reaches the highest speed of 27200rpm in the world), 871V high-voltage platform, CTB integrated battery pack (volume efficiency reaches the highest 77.8% in the world), the first battery cell inversion technology (self-built battery pack factory), high-efficiency dual-mode heat pump, three-heat source step-by-step heating technology, millet super die-casting technology (9100T: millet Titan alloy, 72-in-1 integrated die-casting floor, three-stage rear). Automatic driving (zoom BEV, super-resolution occupancy network, urban navigation NOA, valet/mechanical parking, end-to-end perception and decision-making integrated model), intelligent cockpit, platform architecture, etc.

As the saying goes, "one hero and three gangs", Xiaomi Automobile still needs the support of supply chain enterprises in the above innovative technologies. So, which suppliers have become the core base of Xiaomi Automobile’s black technology? A-share listed companies are the representatives of leading domestic enterprises. According to incomplete statistics, at present, there are more than 70 millet suppliers in A-shares. In addition to nearly 50 companies that have been disclosed before, nearly 30 concept stocks have been hammered recently.

This part of the new enterprises mainly include:、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、, Sinomach, Hausen,、、Wait.

Among the new concept stocks, there are smart cockpit suppliers such as Desai Siwei, and chassis supporting enterprises such as Jinrong Tianyu. However, Lei Jun said that Xiaomi SU7 is currently in the trial production and climbing stage, and it will take several months for it to be officially listed. Affected by this, Xiaomi automobile suppliers are still in the stage of small batch supply as a whole. Jingwei Hengrun said that it is expected to achieve mass production as early as 2023.

"The whole ecology of people, cars and homes" is officially closed.

In addition to the 73 A-share listed companies and 2 Hong Kong-stock listed companies that have been hammered as above, according to incomplete statistics,、、、、TCL、、35 A-share concept stocks may have also entered the supply chain of Xiaomi Automobile, and the supply situation remains to be further disclosed by enterprises.

but、、、、、、、、、, Xinsong、、、、、(rights protection),、Although the concept stocks that have attracted much attention have not participated in the supply of Xiaomi cars at present, there may be some variables in the future as the mass production of Xiaomi cars approaches.

In addition, Xiaomi also made a lot of investment layout before the official announcement of building a car. Among them, in the weakest automobile chip field in China, Xiaomi has participated in the creation of shares, Shanghai Xuanjie Technology, Jieping Semiconductor, Feikun Semiconductor, Shenzhen Core Energy, Microcapacity Technology, Kangzhi Integrated Circuit, Qixin Micro Semiconductor, Jingwei Qi Li, Zhanxin Electronics, Shanghai Hangxin,Intelligent, Yuntu Semiconductor, Core Bitmicro,, Mingqi Sensing, Weizhao Semiconductor, Huajing Sensing, Sirui Technology, Changjing Technology, Jingshi Intelligent,、, core technology,Semi-conductive, must be easy to micro, Angruiwei, smart micro,, Nanxin Semiconductor, Huaying Microelectronics, Voda Semiconductor,、A large number of enterprises, such as Zhuhai Core Test.

In the field of power battery materials, Xiaomi is also Ruilong Technology, Xinchen New Materials, Tianmu Pioneer, Sodium Energy, Farnlet, Weilan New Energy, Honeycomb Energy,, Zhongchuang Singapore Airlines,、Shareholders of companies such as Weilan New Energy are expected to become new suppliers in the future with the maturity of solid-state battery technology, although the new cars to be listed soon do not use the products of investment companies.

In addition, with the gradual realization of the electric layout of the car, intelligence has been accelerated. Lei Jun said that Xiaomi Automobile will enter the first camp in 2024, and the market is also full of interest in the intelligent driving ability of Xiaomi’s new car. It is understood that the intelligent driving multi-sensor fusion scheme of Xiaomi Automobile is provided by Continental Core Intelligent Driving, a subsidiary of Continental Group, and its geometric partners are also equipped with intelligent driving schemes. In addition, Xiaomi also invested in industrial chain companies such as sagitar Juchuang, Zhuifeng Automobile, Sain Leading, Aitek, Lice Technology, Zejing Electronics, Zongmu Technology, Botai Car Network, Beixing Photon, Momenta Magic Gate Tower, and Zhixing.

In view of the demand for automotive electrification and intelligent incremental devices, Xiaomi has also invested in industrial chain enterprises such as Yingzhi Thermal Management Company, Tongyu Automobile, Jiong Yi Electronics, Kelbo, Zhilv Technology, Haizhibo Electronics, Linding Optics, Weimar Automobile, Energy Chain Group, Aoyix, Xpeng Motors, Xinan Digital, Konghui Automobile and Shendong Technology, covering thermal management, intelligent braking system, charging service and so on.

It is not difficult to see from the above introduction that the layout of Xiaomi Automobile has covered the fields of vehicle manufacturing, automobile chips, materials and autonomous driving. On December 27, Lei Jun issued a document saying that the R&D team of Xiaomi Automobile has reached more than 3,400 people. Intelligent electric vehicles are the integration of automobile industry and consumer electronics, and the technical accumulation and experience in consumer electronics also help the strength of Xiaomi Automobile. With the upcoming release of Xiaomi Automobile, Xiaomi’s "all-ecological environment of people and cars" is officially closed.

The reporter walked into the Xiaomi Automobile Production Park in Beijing Economic Development Zone, and the rows of Xiaomi SU7 parked neatly in the square were visible. When the reporter visited, he found that at present, Xiaomi Automobile Factory is still advancing according to the single-shift production system and has not worked overtime. "After communicating with the person in charge of Xiaomi Automobile Factory, I learned that the existing daily production capacity of Xiaomi Automobile Factory is less than 300." The above-mentioned Xiaomi automobile supplier revealed to reporters. The above-mentioned Xiaomi automobile supplier also said that a few days ago, Xiaomi automobile issued a demand to suppliers to increase production capacity. He went to Xiaomi automobile factory this time to do production capacity evaluation. "After understanding, I found that even if our suppliers can provide accessories, it is difficult for Xiaomi Automobile Factory to achieve rapid increase in production capacity in a short time." The above Xiaomi automobile supplier said. According to several suppliers of Xiaomi Automobile, Xiaomi Automobile has increased its annual production capacity demand to 120,000 units in 2024. In this regard, the reporter verified the Xiaomi Group, but as of press time, no response was received. (per meridian)

　　I. Brief introduction of China-Arab relations

　　(1) Brief introduction of Azerbaijan

　　The Republic of Azerbaijan, the capital of Baku (population 2.54 million), is located in the southeast of Transcaucasia, bordering Russia in the north, Armenia and Georgia in the west and northwest, Iran in the south and the Caspian Sea in the east. Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic is an enclave of Albania, surrounded by Armenia, Iran and Turkey. It covers an area of 86,600 square kilometers and has a population of 9.48 million. The ethnic groups are mainly Azerbaijanis (90.6%), Russians, Armenians, etc., and they mainly believe in Islam. The official language is Azerbaijani, and most residents are familiar with Russian.

　　The political situation in Afghanistan is generally stable. At the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Afghanistan formulated the development strategy of "rejuvenating the country through oil". At present, the annual output of oil is about 50 million tons, and the annual output of natural gas is about 30 billion cubic meters. The economy has maintained rapid development with the help of petrodollars. In 2015, the GDP reached 54.35 billion manat, up by 1.1% year-on-year, the foreign trade volume was 20.65 billion US dollars, down by 33.4% year-on-year, the per capita GDP was 5,600 US dollars, and the per capita monthly salary was 322 US dollars. Affected by the long-term low international oil price and other factors, in February and December of 2015, the local currency Manat depreciated sharply twice, reaching 33.5% and 47.6% respectively, with a cumulative depreciation of 97% for the whole year. In order to cope with the adverse effects caused by the drop in international oil prices, the Afghan government has actively deepened economic reforms, ensured the stability of the national financial system, further promoted the strategy of economic diversification, vigorously developed non-oil economies such as agriculture and tourism, and strived to change the economic structure that relies too much on energy exports and promote balanced development in all areas of the economy.

　　In recent years, actively promoting game products to the sea has become a key strategy for the development of many game companies. It is understood that traditional game companies such as FunPlus, IGG and Zhixingtong, whose game products are popular all over the world, have been deeply cultivated overseas for many years, and have rich strategic experience and performed well. For example, IGG’s popular game "Kingdom Era" has won the best-selling list in the App Store in 85 countries and regions for more than two years, and its global revenue has exceeded 825 million US dollars. Not only big manufacturers have the ability to open overseas markets, but also some small domestic manufacturers focus on deepening the segmentation field and occupy a good market share in overseas markets.

　　Domestic games going to sea is the development trend of the industry.

　　The effect of game companies going out to sea is gradually emerging. According to the App Annie report, from July 2012 to June 2018, the comprehensive downloads of China mobile games in the App Store outside China exceeded 14 billion times. In the first half of 2018, the comprehensive revenue of iOS and Google Play increased by more than 40% year-on-year; Comprehensive user expenditure exceeds $16 billion; There are more than 4,400 games on APP Store and Google Play in markets outside China, among which nearly 900 games are released by publishers in China whose users spend more than US$ 1 million.

　　Compared with literature, film and television, animation and so on, games have more universal entertainment functions, and the cultural differences they need to cross are relatively small. In the past six years, domestic games have been frequently put out to sea, which also reflects the vigorous development of the export market of China’s cultural industry.

　　The game is hot in the sea, which is no longer limited to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other areas with similar user attributes, but also expands the mature game market in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. In fact, the number of overseas high-quality paying users is even larger, and the game grading system is more perfect. Therefore, in order to avoid large-scale domestic games and strong competition, many game manufacturers have actively deployed to overseas markets, forming a trend of all-round industrial development.

　　Global game downloads, user spending and participation continue to rise.

　　According to App Annie’s data report, from the first half of 2016 to the first half of 2018, the global game download volume of iOS and Google Play increased by 30%, the global game user expenditure increased by 55%, and the global game usage time increased by 30% only for Android phones.

　　According to the China Game Industry Report from January to June 2018, the overseas sales revenue of online games independently developed by China in the first half of the year was US$ 4.63 billion, a year-on-year increase of 16%. The overseas market has grown nearly 15 times in five years.

　　The double income of China’s game industry in overseas markets depends on the change of its world status. Since its development for more than 20 years, the game production has been upgraded from "Made in China" as an early supplier to "Created in China" now, from focusing on the rough expansion in quantity to paying more attention to independent innovation, focusing on building the leading edge in brand and technology, and bringing the China brand to the global stage with more international ideas and methods.

　　In the strategy of going to sea, China has gained full cultural self-confidence in terms of technology accumulation, talent training, capital supply, creative ideas and cultural details, and the gap between it and the global game industry is getting smaller and smaller, even exceeding the average level of global games in some aspects. At the same time, under the environment of "China culture fever", the game went out to sea to show the richness of Chinese culture to users around the world more closely.

　　China’s game publishers have made outstanding achievements in the Asia-Pacific market.

　　According to App Annie’s data report, the Asia-Pacific region plays a leading role in the overseas expansion of China’s game publishers. First of all, the game payment mode in overseas countries is very mature, especially the payment base of high-quality users is relatively stable, and this payment habit of players also makes the cash flow of game companies tend to be stable. The average payment rate of Japanese players in the Asia-Pacific region is over 60%, and the average annual cost is $312.97; American users’ payment habits have long been developed, and they can get high income under a certain market accumulation; Russia and the Middle East also have a lot of room for growth.

　　Secondly, India, the second most populous country in the world, has made great contributions to the overseas downloads of China’s game publishers. Compared with Europe and America, China and South Korea, which have profound game culture, are more likely to accept the export of’s cultural industry, and their own game industry is mature, the rules are transparent, and the per capita consumption level is high, so it is easier to input games with the help of cultural resonance. At the same time, many factors, such as the increase in the export volume of smart phones in China, have helped more mobile game applications to enter overseas markets through pre-installation.

　　Heavy games lead global game participation.

　　In the first half of 2018, according to the data of domestic games in the global gamer participation, the data proportion of game categories varies greatly among countries. In some Asia-Pacific regions, such as Thailand and the Philippines, 98% of players prefer to play heavy games, while Indonesia’s players also have as high as 96% participation. The market of light and moderate games is very weak, but only Japan has a 58% share in the field of moderate games, which greatly exceeds that of other countries in the same period.

　　Looking at the feedback from users in the global market, moderate and heavy games are the main direction for China game manufacturers to push overseas markets. The reasons are as follows: First, compared with the light game playing system, moderate and heavy games are more complicated, and the theme types are more diversified, emphasizing antagonism and sociality among players, and it is easier to obtain user retention rate. Second, light games are easier to use and have wide user coverage, but the player’s viscosity is low. Moderate and heavy game users have deeper content, higher player loyalty and stickiness, and are more likely to form a specific user target group. Third, moderate and heavy game development costs are higher, profitability is stronger, and the life cycle of the market is longer. Therefore, domestic game manufacturers are more willing to invest in medium and heavy game products that can make long-term profits.

　　It is understood that heavy games are mainly action games, role-playing games and strategy games; Moderate games are mainly arcade games, card games and racing games; Light games are mainly leisure games, educational games and music games.

　　According to the above data of App Annie, in the first half of 2018, the top four overseas users of domestic games were heavy games. The traditional game companies in China, represented by IGG’s Age of Kingdom, FunPlus’s Age of Firearms, King of Avalon: Battle of the Dragon, and Zhi Xingtong’s Disputes over Kings, have been committed to the global research and development, global market and global operation of games for many years, and accumulated valuable and profound.

　　The overseas distribution of domestic games has also put forward higher requirements for the game industry itself. Not only need to have super-high technical support, exquisite image quality display, localized intimate service, but also need to have novel creative self-research ability and fine product operation ability. Through the research and analysis of user groups’ big data, it has become the core element of the game market to enhance the comprehensive competitiveness and prolong the game life for product distribution. Domestic games are bound to bear rich fruits in a high-quality and demanding environment. (Reporter Wu Min)

　　China Youth Network Shanghaisevenmoon28Nidian(Reporter Fan Huiqin, Xu Yizhen, correspondent Sun Jiaoshu) On July 27th, the 15th ChinaJoy Network Ethics and Game Culture Branch was held in Shanghai. As an important branch of the 15th China International Digital Interactive Entertainment Exhibition (ChinaJoy), the theme of this conference is "Game Development and Online Inheritance of Chinese Excellent Culture", aiming at implementing the "Opinions on Implementing the Inheritance and Development Project of Chinese Excellent Traditional Culture", promoting the implementation of the "China Good Netizen" project in the field of online games, creating a healthy and harmonious network ethics and game culture, realizing the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and promoting the construction of online spiritual homes.

　　The conference was guided by the Network Social Work Bureau of the Central Network Information Office, co-sponsored by the Central Network Film and Television Center of the Communist Youth League, China Culture and Entertainment Industry Association and China Culture Network Communication Research Association, and hosted by Zhongqing Video, Mobile TV and China Youth Network. Relevant persons in charge of the Network Social Work Bureau of the Central Network Information Office, cultural experts and scholars, and representatives of game companies gave wonderful speeches and in-depth discussions on the core theme of "game development and online inheritance of Chinese excellent traditional culture", and put forward views and suggestions with great reference value.

　　(A) representatives of game enterprises: actively spread the excellent traditional Chinese culture with games as the carrier.

　　Ji Zefeng, vice president of Tencent Interactive Entertainment Group and Tianmei Studio Group, believes that the popular online games are one of the entertainment forms that teenagers love to see and hear, and can be used as an entry point for learning history and culture. For example, Li Shuai, a teaching teacher in Luoyang, Henan Province, used the derivative program "History of Kings" of the the glory of the king game to inspire students in the history class. This innovative teaching method that keeps pace with the times can achieve better teaching results, and also brings beneficial enlightenment to game companies and cultural educators. Games are endowed with certain social responsibilities because of their broad mass base and large market scale. At the same time, they also bear the advantages of "participation, interactivity, emotional resonance and motivation for learning", so games can stimulate the vitality of traditional culture in an innovative way. At the same time, Ji Zefeng also took the glory of the king, which has attracted much attention and heated discussion, as an example to explain how to implant excellent traditional cultural elements into the game, and then build a game worldview that integrates Chinese virtues and humanistic spirit.

　　Wu Xinxin, general manager of Netease Game Market, thinks that game enterprises should adhere to the spirit of "keeping, breaking and leaving" of artisans, make breakthroughs on inheritance, innovate on breakthrough, and continue the cultural essence in the game from the perspective of "cultural inheritance and innovation in the digital age". One of the important reasons why Netease games can continuously refresh the game industry’s perception of product life is to use the explosive IP of traditional culture to recreate traditional classics.

　　For a long time in the past, most of the game types or themes that domestic gamers came into contact with were mainly western mainstream cultural backgrounds.

　　Two years ago today, the Japanese government decided to discharge millions of tons of nuclear polluted water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the sea, ignoring opposition at home and abroad. Since the announcement of this decision, the Japanese people have held many rallies and protests. On the 13th, some Japanese people held a rally near the Japanese parliament to protest against the Japanese government’s plan to discharge nuclear polluted water into the sea.

　　According to reports, about 120 people attended the rally in front of the Second House of Representatives of the Japanese House of Representatives that day. The reporter saw at the scene that the protesters covered all ages, and they held slogans such as "Don’t let nuclear pollution pollute the sea" and "Don’t poison the sea". Around the live speaker, the crowd echoed loudly from time to time.

　　Miyoko Kumamoto, who attended the rally at the scene, is 80 years old. She moved to Fukushima Prefecture after retirement, but after the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011, she was forced to take refuge in Tokyo. People with the same experience set up the "refuge coordination center" to support each other, and Ms. Kumamoto is also a member of the center.

　　She said that she wanted to enjoy an idyllic life in Fukushima Prefecture after retirement. The nuclear accident not only destroyed the lives of local residents, but also endangered people who depend on the sea for a living. We should not remain silent about the Japanese government’s decision to discharge nuclear polluted water into the sea, but should actively speak out against it. "The treatment of nuclear polluted water cannot be arbitrarily advocated by the Japanese government."

　　Yoshiko Furukawa, who gave a speech at the scene, could not hide his excitement, and his trembling voice was constantly amplified. She said that she used to live in Tomokamachi, Fukushima Prefecture, near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. "Although discharging the nuclear polluted water accumulated in Fukushima into the sea may enable us to return home earlier, I don’t want others to point at me and say, ‘ The nuclear polluted water was discharged from her neighborhood ’ 。”

　　The organizer of that day’s rally, Inoue Nihiro, said that people who came here today are near Tokyo. Now, similar rallies and protests are being held all over Japan, some initiated by individuals and some organized by groups. In the past two years, we have launched various signature, assembly, demonstration and protest activities, and held a study meeting on nuclear polluted water on the Internet to popularize the knowledge about the dangers of nuclear polluted water.

　　Inoue said that nuclear contaminated water must be stored first to minimize its radioactivity, and then discuss how to deal with it with countries around the world. "If nuclear polluted water is easily allowed to be discharged into the sea this time, it will be thrown into the sea as long as nuclear pollution occurs in the future."

　　On April 13, 2021, the Japanese government officially decided to filter and dilute millions of tons of nuclear polluted water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and then discharge it into the sea. In January 2023, the Japanese government set the discharge time of Fukushima nuclear polluted water as "this spring and summer".

　　Beijing, Feb. 8 (Reporter Shangguan Yun) The 15th day of the first lunar month is the traditional Lantern Festival. On the Lantern Festival, the general folk activities include viewing lanterns, eating glutinous rice balls, solve riddles on the lanterns and so on. With the passage of time, the customs and habits of the Lantern Festival have also changed a lot.

　　This year’s Lantern Festival is in the period of epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19. Many netizens said that this year’s holidays should be less, no gatherings, and quiet holidays. After the epidemic, relatives and friends still get together.

　　Lantern Festival is also called Shangyuan Festival. How did it come from?

　　Lantern Festival has a long history, and there are different opinions about its origin.

　　During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the activity of offering sacrifices to "Taiyi God" was scheduled for the 15th day of the first month. At that time, when the taichu calendar was founded, the Lantern Festival was identified as an important festival. "Historical Records of Le Shu" records: "Han people often spend the first month in the Xin Temple as a sweet spring, and when they are unconscious, they will die in the Ming Dynasty."

　　Shangyuan means the first full moon night in the new year. The origin of Shangyuan Festival is related to Taoism as recorded in Miscellanies of Years Old. It is said that Taoism has a saying that "heavenly god blesses the people, the local officials forgive sins, and the water officials relieve Eritrea".

　　During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Taoism matched season and climate with the three officials mentioned above, and designated the 15th day of the first month as Shang Yuan, the 15th day of July as Zhong Yuan and the 15th day of October as Xia Yuan, which were collectively called "Three Yuan". Therefore, the fifteenth day of the first month is also called Shangyuan Festival.

　　In the Southern Song Dynasty, Wu Zimu said in Dream Liang Lu: "On the fifteenth day of the first month, it is the day of heavenly god blesses the people in Shangyuan."

　　Solve riddles on the lanterns, Lion Dance … … Those Lantern Festival folk customs

　　The folk custom of Lantern Festival corresponds to New Year’s Eve, and it is also distinctive in season.

　　Solve riddles on the lanterns is an important folk activity of the Lantern Festival, which has been passed down from ancient times to the present. Originally, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, people wrote riddles on paper and pasted them on lanterns for people to guess.

　　Solve riddles on the lanterns has certain skill, can inspire people’s wisdom, and appeals to both refined and popular tastes, so he quickly got the response of the people and eventually became an important element of the Lantern Festival.

　　Playing dragon lanterns, also known as dragon dancing or dragon dancing, is also a custom of the Lantern Festival. In the Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng’s "Xijing Fu" introduced the "hundred operas", among which the dragon dance was described. According to the Records of Sui Shu Music, Huanglongbian, which is similar to the dragon dance performance in one hundred operas, is also wonderful.

　　"Lion Dance" began in Wei and Jin Dynasties and flourished in Tang Dynasty. It is also called "Lion Dance" and generally requires three people to cooperate with each other. Among them, two people dress up as lions, and the other one is the leader of lions. There are also civil and military dances, including shaking hair, rolling, pushing high and rolling colored balls.

　　Why did you want to enjoy the lanterns in the ancient Lantern Festival?

　　Lantern Festival custom originated earlier. It originated from the activity of expelling epidemic diseases by fire in ancient times, and the ancient form of this custom was partially preserved by the people who lit the fields on the fifteenth day of the first month and went up the mountain with torches.

　　Some folklore experts once said that with the Buddhist custom of burning lanterns and offering sacrifices spreading in China, the ancient custom of burning lanterns and traveling at night at Lantern Festival gradually evolved into the custom of lighting lanterns at Lantern Festival.

　　The rise of nightlife in ancient cities also provided conditions for the development of the custom of decorating lanterns. The big expansion of the custom of decorating lanterns was in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, not only did the "Hundred Lantern Trees" be made in Beijing, but the curfew on the 14th, 15th and 16th nights of the first month was also cancelled, that is, "Jin Wu can’t help it".

　　During the Song Dynasty, lanterns were made with more patterns, and their skills and shapes were very ingenious, with various categories. In the Lantern Festival, according to the record of the numerous victories of the old people in the West Lake, girls in Lin ‘an in the Southern Song Dynasty "danced in the market first" to attract buyers.

　　In the Ming Dynasty, Tang Yin wrote a poem "Yuanxiao", which showed that Lantern Festival lanterns and the moon set each other off in an interesting way: "A moon without lights is not entertaining, and a moon without lights is not spring. In spring, people are like jade, and the lights are like silver around the moon and next month. "

　　The whole family gets together to eat "sweet dumplings"

　　Apart from watching lanterns, solve riddles on the lanterns and other customs, another deep impression people have on the Lantern Festival is probably the symbolic food "Yuanxiao".

　　In ancient times, Yuanxiao also had a series of titles, such as "Floating Yuanzi", and businessmen called it "Yuanbao". In ancient times, the price of "Yuanxiao" was relatively high, and a poem said: "Guests look at the Imperial Street with a hook curtain, and the treasures in the city come at one time. There is no way to go in front of the curtain, and no money can be returned. "

　　Data map: The picture shows the style of making glutinous rice balls into mahjong. Photo by Chen Chao

　　Due to regional differences, this kind of food has different names, such as Yuanxiao and Tangyuan. The north "rolls" Yuanxiao and the south "wraps" Tangyuan, and the practice and taste are slightly different. The stuffing can be vegetarian, sweet and salty. Salty stuffing generally includes diced fresh meat and dried shrimps.

　　In fact, the process of shaking the Lantern Festival is also a process of folk custom display, which adds a festive atmosphere to the Lantern Festival. Yuanxiao is a necessary food for festivals in many places. Family and friends eat a bowl of glutinous rice balls together, which means "reunion".

　　In Beijing, Jinfang Ciqikou Snack Shop has always been one of the most popular places for Lantern Festival, and the queues in previous years were long. However, according to media reports, this year, due to the need of epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19, the staff in the store have been keeping order, requiring a queue interval of more than one meter.

　　In addition, some time-honored brands provide convenient conditions for people to buy Yuanxiao by adding sales points, cooperating with supermarkets and entering the community.

　　This year’s Lantern Festival is particularly different during the epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19. Some netizens said that in any case, after the Lantern Festival this year, remember to go out less and not get together. After the epidemic is over, any day can be a day to get together. (End)
