Feminism, do you have to "force" women to become queens?

Text/Jin Cuodao Channel

"Riding the wind and breaking the waves" entered the 3.0 era.

The rising path of the term "Sister Lang" is very similar to that of women in this era.

It seems that since the first two years, a kind of feminism against traditional people has reached its climax."Feminism" and "mistress" have repeatedly become marketing terms with their own topics.

Under this momentum, women seem to have to meet the new expectations of society in order to be worthy of the title of "women of the new era" and deserve praise; In some marketing tones, women seem to be great enough only if they are independent and powerful.

As time goes on, we can see that the marketing that can make women "buy" gradually decreases, and her consumption seems to have entered a "weak period".

The reason is that the over-hyped "female gaze" and the "overcorrection" in order to seize the feminist slogan are revealing more and more problems. Many marketing slogans that seem to advocate women’s interests have imposed more shackles on women.

Female marketing is becoming more and more difficult, and many enterprises that want to seize the dividend of the times seem to be in a dilemma.

In this slightly embarrassing state, how can brands better solve the problem if they want to enter women?Euler, a car brand that loves women more, launched a special "confession" in the past 520 and handed in a high score answer sheet.

Looking back at the general marketing ideas when women’s topics just emerged, most of them are "independent you are the most whispering", "confident you are the most beautiful" and "free you are the most noble" and so on.

Although it is true, independence, self-confidence, freedom, etc., these words should imply sincere yearning for beauty, but when they become empty "please" that only exists in slogans and floats on the surface, they are not tying new burdens to women.

The frenzied marketing trend went down, and even the word "woman" on Women’s Day was once kept secret, and instead it was called "goddess" and "queen".

Since the beginning of this year, the marketing campaign with crazy momentum in the previous two years seems to have begun to be less intense, and the topic is far less sharp than before. The female theme that once "exploded per capita" no longer appears in the screen.

It is not so much that people are getting tired of women’s topics as that the society hates the routine marketing campaign.

of course,There are still some "heart-wandering" marketing cases quietly out of the circle.

Polaiya said: "Gender is not a boundary, but prejudice is"; Zhiben said: "I want to be what I want to be"; JD.COM said: "Her unknown side, every side is amazing"; Hua Xizi asked: "How do we reach the balance?" … Brands no longer praise women blindly in order to attract people’s attention, but dig, discover and affirm their unique qualities in a gentle way, and finally land on women’s actual pain points and growth demands.

Just past May 20th, the pre-sale conference of Euler Ballet Cat "Come for Love" also confirmed this trend.

Are women and cars inherently lacking in tacit understanding? I’m afraid not. By 2021, the number of female drivers in China has reached 162 million, accounting for 33.68%. With the rise of women’s demand for car purchase, her voice is eager to occupy a place in the automobile field, but unfortunately, such rights are still relatively lacking.

This is the pain point that Euler is facing directly.It is under the dedicated determination to "love women more" that Euler’s first female-only car, the ballet cat, arrived.

What kind of car do women need? Let women say:

The exclusive female research team of ballet cats unveiled at the pre-sale conference is the first in the industry. They come from various fields related to women’s life, such as fashion, jewelry, home, mother and baby, and make comprehensive suggestions for the design of ballet cats.

Is there a tacit understanding between women and cars? Let her feel for herself:

Ballet Cat sincerely invites AoDingwen, a national first-class actor and young dancer, to interact with the ballet cat at the pre-sale conference as a representative of elegant women, so as to fully show the elegance, fashion and thoughtfulness of the ballet cat to women.

As Wang Weiwei, CMO of Euler Auto, said at the pre-sale conference of ballet cats: "Euler makes cars for women, and the origin of thinking is not narrow feminism, not encouraging women to live, but making women better become women, gentle and firm, romantic and beautiful, and harvesting the softness and happiness they deserve."

In other words,Women don’t need to be taught how to be women.

We must admit that the natural differences between men and women in physiology and psychology, including vision, body feeling and emotion, are the best solutions to help women find themselves. It is precisely because Euler had such an understanding a long time ago that the ballet cat is what it is today.

People have an eternal pursuit of beauty, and the aesthetic concept of elegant renewal of ballet cats explains the aesthetic that is more in line with women’s pursuit. The use of arcs conveys a soft and elegant aesthetic feeling, and with a retro attitude, it interprets the fashion trend that is out of date; Dingbai, Azure, Rice Glaze, Junxia, Morning White, Golden Wind and Jade Dew, the official six colors condensed the glaze essence of Song Dynasty porcelain.

From the east to the west, from the classic to the trend, the ballet cat subverts the traditional masculinity in terms of automobile design, and from the perspective of women, this temperament complements each other.

At the same time,Ballet Cat has also reconstructed a deeper concept of "female friendliness" for cars, and we can see the "connotation" tailored to the needs of female segmentation in it.Workplace beauties, omnipotent mothers, beautiful girlfriends … What inconveniences do women face in different roles and different life scenes?

When commuting or dating, the ballet cat can be a mobile dressing room. The oversized cosmetic mirror with LED light source and the cosmetic box at hand are very convenient. You can also take a selfie in the car when you are in a good mood.

Driving with cold hands and physical discomfort during the physiological period, the ballet cat can be a warm man with intimate companionship, and the seat, steering wheel and air conditioner can be activated by voice control or one button to be surrounded by warmth;

When taking care of children, the ballet cat with children’s mode turned on can be a good helper, so that mothers can check the children’s situation in the car in real time while driving, reducing potential safety hazards;

There are also functional systems designed for actual scenes, such as braving the wind and waves mode and goddess mode …

The exclusive seat designed based on women’s ergonomics, the steering wheel size set for women’s shoulder width and palm size data, and even the angles of the seat, steering wheel and dashboard are precisely adjusted for women’s physiological data …

These are the answers that ballet cats give to women—Exclusive preference.

Undoubtedly,The current female consumption is still in the dividend period.So can this dividend period last for a long time? The answer is actually yes.

Since the beginning of this year, the battle of brand marketing seems to be much milder, but the consumption trend of her economy is still strong. The "Tik Tok 38 Festival" data report shows that the number of female consumers increased by 115.6% year-on-year.

In the automobile circle, with the increasing demand for women to use cars, the "female-only" tailored for them has just ushered in the ballet cat, a real new force.

At the pre-sale conference of ballet cats on May 20, Euler officially announced that the pre-sale price range of ballet cats was 193,000-223,000 yuan. Once the pre-sale was opened, it achieved good results. It is conceivable that the volume of women in the field of automobile consumption still has a huge room for explosion.

However, if you want to really reach the heart of women, you need the brand to focus on exerting force;About the female theme of marketing, it is a "long-term doctrine" that needs the brand to dig deep.

Euler’s determination can be seen from the moment when the official announced "a car brand that loves women more". Euler’s first female-only car, the ballet cat, is a key step for Euler to enter a new era of female marketing, and it is also a new starting point for Euler’s brand to rejuvenate and improve.

"Today’s consumer market, not win in the big and complete, but win in the small and specialized.The more focused you are, the more you will win.Dong Yudong, CEO of Euler Auto, said this.

Conclusion:

Although the current female theme is sensitive, "her power" is still a trump card. In order to really break the so-called "weak period" of marketing, marketing ideas must first be put in a correct position.

Slogan-style touting may make people "go to the top" for a while, but rhetoric divorced from reality will never really reach people’s hearts, and the dream bubble away from reality is doomed to burst with a poke.

Because women are kidnapped by these slogans, it’s hard to tell whether they should follow their own heart to realize themselves or adapt to the new expectations of society. What brand marketing can do is not to draw a big "cake" for women, but to think about what it can do for women.

"Love her" is not to forcibly shape her into what society expects.

But let her have more room to turn around in this world and find her own light with her.

What is culture? How to explain culture?

What is culture?

If culture talks about appearances, it is: everything that is different from nature in human social life is culture. As long as it is not natural, it is created by people, and it is all culture, but this is only the appearance.

The core of culture: it is the common way of thinking and values formed by this nation that has lived for a long time in a special natural environment and a unique mode of production and lifestyle. This is culture. Specific environment, specific period. Then a group of people generated this value. For example, if he lives on the plateau, or the natural environment on this plain is different from that on the prairie, and his way of life and production are different, then his way of thinking and values are different. This way of thinking and values, he is not a person, he is the common lifestyle and values of this nation or this country, and this is culture.

We in China pay attention to family and everything. We have talked about it for more than 2,000 years. Now the common people also recognize it. It is this value that China people recognize. Therefore, culture is a unique value of a farming nation.

The most basic bond of farming people’s survival is blood, but the basic unit of survival is family, so from this perspective, this family and everything is the unique culture of our Chinese nation. Not in other countries, because their lifestyles and production methods are different, he will change. For example, in Hanshu, especially in Biography of Xiongnu, there is a dialogue between Han Division and Xiongnu, which is called Khan’s dialogue between them. This is called two different cultures, which are actually right from their respective perspectives, but because of their different lifestyles and production methods, I think you are wrong, and you think I am wrong. So what is right and what is wrong? What is suitable for our survival is called right.

# Culture # # Xiongnu #

What is culture? This is the best answer I have ever heard.

Bai Yansong said:

"Whether a person has a culture is not based on how high his education is.

People with academic qualifications do not necessarily have culture; People without education are not necessarily uneducated.

Reading a lot of books, having a high diploma, and having education are sometimes completely different. "

People who are truly literate have achieved the following.

01

A flight attendant named Judy told an interesting story about Liu Shishi at the Weibo.

As a stewardess, Judy often meets all kinds of big coffees and stars, but these big coffees and stars didn’t leave a deep impression on her until she met Liu Shishi a few days ago.

On that day, Liu Shishi took the first class. When Judy went to tidy up the first class after the plane landed, she was surprised to find that the quilt on Liu Shishi’s seat was neatly folded.

Judy was shocked at once:"In the past, all the guests in the first class huddled their quilts, threw them under their feet and left. I didn’t expect the poems to be stacked neatly. I was so touched."

People who fly in first class are usually people of great status, but you see, there are so few people who fold quilts. Occasionally, a flight attendant will be moved for a long time.

02

On May 1 ST, I met a wandering singer on the road. The singer sang very well. After a song, many people walked by and threw the change into the singer’s hat, but then, a lady’s behavior surprised people.

She went to the hat and crouched down slowly.Gently put two coins into the hat, and smiled and nodded to the wandering singer.

Educated, I don’t care if I have read many books. But at this moment: many people lose her too much.

Comparing this matter, I am reminded of Bai Yansong’s words:

"Whether a person has a culture is not based on how high his education is. People with academic qualifications do not necessarily have culture, while those without academic qualifications do not necessarily have no culture. "

Read a lot of books, have a high diploma,And whether you have culture or not are sometimes completely different.

03

Wu Xiao Xian told another touching story.

Once, he followed the boss to talk about business, and at lunch, he ordered a table in the hotel.

Halfway through the meal, the waiter served a special dish, and the boss said politely, "Thank you, we don’t need any more dishes."

The waiter explained:"This dish is free."

The boss still smiled and replied: "We don’t want it for free, we can’t eat it, it’s a waste."

After the meal, the boss wrapped the leftovers.

On the way back to the company, the boss drove slowly, as if looking at something.

Wu Xiao Xian was wondering when the boss stopped the car, picked up the packaged food, got off the bus and walked over to a beggar, and handed it over with his hands.

What is culture? This is culture. Culture is self-cultivation rooted in the heart.

I read another story in People’s Daily.

On the weekend, my nephew followed a Chinese to go fishing in Sydney, Australia. Every time you cast a net, you always get something.

But every time the net is pulled up, the Chinese always pick it up and throw most of its shrimps and crabs back into the sea.

His nephew was puzzled: "I finally hit it, why throw it back?"

Chinese answer:"Fish and shrimp that meet the specified size can be caught."

His nephew said, "No one can care about you on the high seas?"

The Chinese smiled faintly: "Not everything needs to be reminded and urged by others!"

What is culture? This is culture. Culture is consciousness without reminding.

05

What is freedom?

Many people’s understanding is that freedom is to let yourself do what you want freely.

But people who think like this don’t know what real freedom is.

Linda, a Chinese-American writer, wrote a book "Worry in the Deep of History", which presents a fact:The United States is both the freest country in the world and the least free country in the world.

On one occasion, he accompanied his friends to visit the Grand Canyon of America.

My friend picked up the coke can and wanted to throw it into the Grand Canyon: "What a pity not to do something in such a deep canyon!" "

Linda got a fright, hurriedly stop:"This is illegal."

The freest America in the world is actually full of illiberality:

It is illegal to hold an open wine bottle in the street;

It is illegal for parents to slap their children when they cry.

……

Many people in China don’t understand why the United States has so many restrictions. In fact, it is precisely because of so many constraints that American freedom has been created.

The philosopher Mill said: "Constraints are the mother of freedom. Personal freedom must be based on not infringing on the freedom of others. "

What is culture? This is culture. Culture is freedom based on constraints.

06

There was a man who taught his disciples to break glass products and put them into garbage bags, and wrote on them with a pen: "There are glass fragments inside, it’s dangerous!" "

In this way, garbage collectors won’t scratch their fingers.

The mineral water bottles after drinking drinks are also emptied and tightened, which is convenient for waste recyclers to collect.

You ask me what is culture? This is culture. Culture is kindness for others.

When going to the toilet, think of the next person who goes to the toilet;

When throwing garbage, think of the next garbage collector;

No matter what you do, you must think of the next person;

……

Xia Yan, a dramatist, was in great pain before he died.

The secretary said, "I’ll call the doctor."

Just as he was about to open the door, Xia Yan opened his eyes and said with difficulty:"Not called, please."

Then he passed out and never woke up.

"Not called, please." Xia Lao changed a word, but touched a building.

Xia Lao is a truly literate person.

A true literate person does not depend on how many books he has read or what school he has attended, but should have four qualities:

Cultivation rooted in the heart;

Consciousness without reminding;

Freedom based on constraints;

Kindness for others.

Many times, culture is a hidden existence, and it is a rule of life. It may not be visible, but it’s important.

It will make you richer in thought, more advanced in choice, more independent in doing things and more interesting in life, all of which are good for you.

People’s Network Review: Strengthening Cultural Self-confidence and Promoting the Rejuvenation of Chinese Civilization

Source: People’s Network-Viewpoint Channel

Visit Xuanyuan Temple of Huangdi Mausoleum, and pay tribute to the vigor and uprightness of cypress planted by Huangdi in 5000 years. At Lushan Mao site and Shiyan Mao site, feel the grand scenery of the capital city of "Wanbang came to Korea" 4000 years ago; In Baoji Bronze Museum, I realized the pre-Qin civilization of the Western Zhou Dynasty 3,000 years ago … With the launch of the online theme of "Why is China in a Prosperous Age", an interview group composed of Chinese and foreign journalists, experts and scholars set off from Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province, and started a wonderful journey of exploring the source. The magnificent treasures and voluminous documents help us decipher the code of civilization and strengthen our cultural self-confidence.

Cultural self-confidence is a more basic, broader and deeper self-confidence and a more basic, deeper and more lasting force in the development of a country and a nation. The Chinese nation is an ancient and great nation in the world. It has created a splendid civilization that has lasted for more than 5,000 years and made indelible contributions to the progress of human civilization. Through cultural relics, heritages and texts, the online theme propaganda of "Why is China in a Prosperous Age in China" makes people more and more amazed at the profoundness and long history of Chinese civilization. Numerous cultural creations have strengthened our cultural confidence, from a subset of classics and history with rich knowledge, to the four books and five classics, six towers and three strategies that show profound wisdom, from jade carving and bronze wares and ceramic silk weaving that show superb skills, to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs with elegant interests.

How to treat one’s excellent traditional culture is an important criterion to judge whether a country or a nation has cultural self-confidence. In the new era, the Chinese civilization tracing project has made important progress, the national cultural digitalization strategy has been rapidly promoted, and the national cultural park has been built in an orderly way … A major project has blossomed with more dazzling light of civilization, helping the people of China to glow with stronger historical consciousness and initiative.

Strengthening cultural self-confidence means sticking to your own path. The road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics came out under the guidance of Marxism, and it also came out from the history of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years. For example, the people’s congress system is deeply related to the people-oriented thought of Chinese civilization and the idea of ruling the world together. The system of regional ethnic autonomy inherits the tradition of China’s cultural unification, which is based on Kyushu, Liuhe and the four seas. If we continue to explore our own roads and methods on the land of China, we should base ourselves on the great historical practice and contemporary practice of the Chinese nation, seek the source of living water from traditional culture, provide enlightenment for understanding and transforming the world, provide inspiration for governing the country and opening up a new road without forgetting the way we came.

The revival of a nation is always supported by the prosperity of culture; The progress of an era is always marked by cultural prosperity. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China drew a grand blueprint for building a socialist modernization power in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese modernization. On the new journey, we should further strengthen our cultural self-confidence, work together to create a new culture belonging to our times, build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation, and provide a strong value guiding force, cultural cohesion and spiritual impetus for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Great China, magnificent mountains and rivers. Looking back at the depths of history, one of the important reasons why the Chinese nation has survived from countless difficulties and hardships is that Chinese culture has provided strong spiritual support to overcome difficulties. Looking into the future, there are calm, stormy waves, rushing rivers and flying clouds. Standing on the land of China infiltrated with excellent traditional culture, we have the majestic power of more than 1.4 billion China people, our historical background is extremely profound, and our determination to advance is extremely strong. Illuminate the way forward with the light of thought, and eliminate all difficulties and dangers with the power of spirit, and we will surely build a towering spiritual building and promote the rejuvenation of Chinese civilization.
