Orders have been placed in the Lantern Festival, and Fenghua Bulong’s orders have exploded.

  "year of the loong Spring Festival orders burst! Our whole family is too busy to mobilize. "

  The son dances dragons, the daughter designs dragons, and the wife makes dragons … Every Spring Festival, the family of Chen Xingguo, the national inheritor of Fenghua Bulong, also ushered in the busiest moment of the year.

  Dragon dance orders are scheduled for the Lantern Festival.

  "Our dragon dance team is busier this year than in previous years, and the orders are scheduled for the Lantern Festival. This year, we received an invitation from Huizhou, Guangdong Province. " Chen Liangliang, the son of Chen Hangguo and the provincial inheritor of Fenghua Bulong, estimated that there were two performances every day in recent days.

  This year is year of the loong, and dragon dancing has become an indispensable "standard".

  Recently, the Fenghua Tiaozhai Dragon Dance Team, headed by Chen Liangliang, presented a wonderful dragon dance performance to the audience at the opening ceremony of the non-legacy market in Nantang Old Street.

  The Dragon Ball moves up and down in the hands of the dragon dancers. The dragon dancers follow the rhythm of the Dragon Ball, sometimes leaping and rising, sometimes swimming and hovering, making the dragon seem to have life.

  During the performance, the dragon dancers also changed their formations from time to time, sometimes jumping and sometimes sneaking, showing the shape and charm of the dragon to the fullest.

  "No shortage of orders, lack of people! Our dragon dance team has a full schedule. " When interviewed by reporters, Chen Liangliang and his teammates were on their way to the next village to perform.

  Careful observation of Chen Liangliang’s palm shows that the yellowing calluses are particularly obvious, which are left by holding the dragon pole all the year round.

  Chen Liangliang said that the most common thing his father said to him was that the key to dragon dancing is to make the dragon "live", not only in action, but also in expression. There is no shortcut, only persistent training.

  Chen Liangliang studied dragon dancing with his father since he was a child. He began to dance dragon in Tiaozhai Primary School at the age of 7. At the age of 26, he became an international referee and coach for dragon and lion dancing. Now he is a provincial non-genetic inheritor, which has provoked the burden of inheritance and innovation of Fenghua Bulong.

  "On the basis of traditional retro routines, we have arranged some new movements, especially combined with local elements in Fenghua, not only to dance with vigor, but also to dance with characteristics, so as to make everyone shine." Chen Liangliang revealed that he is currently studying how to combine Fenghua Bulong with Fenghua’s specialty peaches to create a set of "Peach Blossom Dragons".

  This year, Fenghua Bulong will also carry out in-depth cooperation with Tencent’s mobile games, which is the first case of cross-border cooperation between Ningbo Intangible Heritage and e-sports games.

  By then, Fenghua Bulong’s cultural elements, performance routines and the image of the inheritor will be reflected in the game, so that more young people can understand, love and spread the legacy.

  Young people relay to hold up the banner of dragon dance

  For Chen Xingguo’s family, making and dancing Bulong is a matter of persistence and inheritance.

  Chen Xingguo, who is 65 years old this year, has been attached to dragon dancing for nearly 50 years. "Our Chinese nation is a descendant of the dragon. My greatest wish is to hope that Fenghua Bulong can be passed down for a long time and carry forward the spirit of the dragon."

  "I am relieved that there are successors!" Now, Chen Xingguo is extremely proud to see his son Chen Liangliang become the soul of the Dragon Dance Team, taking the Dragon Dance to a bigger stage, and his daughter Chen Jingjing opening a shop in Taobao and pushing Fenghua Bulong to the world.

  At present, the "Chen Dragon" produced by Chen Xingguo’s family has broken more than ten thousand pieces, which not only swims in the land of China, but also has been exported to more than ten countries such as the United States, Britain, South Korea, Spain, Japan, Singapore and Turkey, and the dragon culture has also spread all over the world.

  The Dragon Dance Team of Tiaozhai Village in Fenghua, led by Chen Liangliang, not only inherited the excellent traditional routines and skills of Fenghua Bulong, but also introduced new modeling movements and routines. At present, the Dragon Dance Team consists of 22 young adults, the oldest being 38 years old and the youngest being only 17 years old.

  Last year, Tiaozhai Village Dragon Dance Team participated in the warm-up performance of the opening ceremony of the 4th Asian Paralympic Games in Hangzhou, and together with several other dragon dance teams from all over the country, staged a wonderful "Hundred Dragons War".

  "This is an opportunity for Fenghua Bulong to go global. We all hope to present the charm of Fenghua Bulong in the most perfect state, and it is worthwhile to work hard and get tired again." Chen Liangliang, who was the leader, recalled the training scene at that time.

  In January this year, Chen Liangliang was invited to participate in the 11th annual exhibition "Dragon and Lion Dance Training Course" in He Xinchun, North and South Tianshan Mountains, and carried out the teaching work for half a month. This is the farthest footprint of Fenghua Bulong in China.

  "I feel very honored to be invited to Fuhai County, Altay, Xinjiang, which is more than 4,000 kilometers away from Fenghua, and to bring the traditional culture of my hometown to the northwest of the motherland." Chen Liangliang introduced that he took 75 class hours of training, trained more than 130 students, and set up six dragon dance teams for the local area.

  Fenghua Bulong has not only attracted much attention in China, but also "flew" to the international stage many times: he went to London, England to participate in the cultural exhibition of the Olympic Games, the performance of Shakespeare’s Drama Festival, and went to South Korea to participate in the "Daegu Colorful Celebration", which made Fenghua Bulong shine on the international stage.

  Chen Liangliang leads Fenghua Bulong to perform in South Korea. 

  "I want more people to know about dragon dance. Now dragon dance is not only a traditional culture and art, but also a sports event. We have also promoted it to kindergartens, primary and secondary schools and even universities." Chen Liangliang said.

  Chen Liangliang, who has deep affection for dragon dance, made his twins join the dragon dance team.

  "When I was in kindergarten, my father gave me a stick and asked me to start from the basic skills of the eight-character dragon dance. It took several hours to practice. Now I also give my child a stick. This tradition should start with dolls. " Chen Liangliang said, I have always kept in mind my father’s words, "What my ancestors left behind, if I don’t do it, it will be gone."

  Dragon dance moves constantly bring forth the old and bring forth the new, making Fenghua Bulong’s performance more colorful; The members of the dragon dance team have new faces one after another and become younger, which makes Chen Xingguo particularly happy: "Young people have already held up the banner of dragon dance."

Tangyuan and Yuanxiao, are they the same?

The following article comes from the scientific rumor, written by Xue Qingxin.

Science dispels rumors.

Sponsored by China Association for Science and Technology, Health and Wellness Committee, Emergency Management Department, General Administration of Market Supervision and other ministries and commissions, guided by the Central Network Information Office, and jointly created by national societies, authoritative media, social institutions and scientific and technological workers.

On the Lantern Festival, there are traditional customs of burning lanterns to offer sacrifices to Buddha, enjoying lanterns, dancing lions, solve riddles on the lanterns and eating glutinous rice balls. However, many people still don’t know clearly: Are glutinous rice balls and glutinous rice balls the same? What is the difference? Today we will talk about the difference between the two and how to eat healthier.

01

What’s the difference between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan?

Although Yuanxiao and Tangyuan are both round and eaten on the fifteenth day of the first month, they are not the same thing. The difference is:

▲ Figure worm creativity

Practice: Yuanxiao is "rolled out" and glutinous rice balls are "wrapped". The traditional practice of Yuanxiao is based on stuffing. First, fix the stuffing, then put the stuffing on a sieve with a lot of glutinous rice flour and roll it around … until it becomes a ball covered with glutinous rice flour. The glutinous rice dumplings are made with glutinous rice skin first, and then the stuffing is wrapped in it.

▲ Figure worm creativity

(2) Cooking: Under normal circumstances, Yuanxiao is steamed or fried too much (if it needs to be cooked, it will take a long time and the soup will be turbid), and the dumplings are mostly cooked.

③ Taste: Yuanxiao tastes hard, while Tangyuan tastes soft.

④ Storage method: Tangyuan can be frozen for a long time, but Yuanxiao can’t. Yuanxiao is usually made and sold now, because it is easy to crack if it is frozen.

02

Is glutinous rice balls easy to digest or difficult to digest?

Glutinous rice will be used to make glutinous rice balls. Many people think that glutinous rice is sticky and difficult to digest, which is really a little misunderstanding.

The starch structure of white rice flour is amylose, while more than 99% of glutinous rice is amylopectin, which is more branched in structure and easier to gelatinize. When people digest starch, they hydrolyze it from the molecular end, while amylopectin is more easily hydrolyzed and digested because of many branches.

Therefore, compared with the rice flour we usually eat, the glycemic index of glutinous rice is also faster. The GI of rice is 82, while that of glutinous rice is 87. People think that glutinous rice is difficult to digest, probably because foods that use glutinous rice, such as glutinous rice balls, Yuanxiao and Babao rice, often add a lot of sugar and fat at the same time, giving people a feeling of "greasy".

▲ Schematic diagram of the difference between amylose (left) and amylopectin (right) |

In a word, warm glutinous rice balls/Yuanxiao are easy to digest. However, if you wait until the dumplings/Yuanxiao are cold before eating, not only will the texture become hard, it will be more difficult to chew, but it will also increase the difficulty of digestion, and acid reflux and heartburn may occur.

03

Is sugar-free healthier?

The appearance of "sugar-free glutinous rice balls/Yuanxiao" in the market is the "focus" that diabetics and weight-loss partners pay attention to, thinking that eating it can not only worry about the rise of blood sugar, but also gain weight without excessive intake of sugar, so eating it is often unscrupulous.

In fact, even "sugar-free dumplings/Yuanxiao" doesn’t mean it’s healthier! For example, the xylitol peanut glutinous rice balls shown below are sugar-free, but xylitol is used instead of the added sugar in the stuffing, but the calories, fat and carbohydrate are not low.

For example, 100 grams of glutinous rice balls (about 8) is equivalent to 2.5 small bowls of cooked rice. And will eat 14.4 grams of fat, accounting for almost half of the daily fat intake recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for China Residents.

In addition, although xylitol has little effect on postprandial blood sugar, after all, glutinous rice flour is the main raw material of glutinous rice dumplings and Yuanxiao, and the overall carbohydrate and fat content have not decreased much. Eating too much will still cause relatively large postprandial blood sugar fluctuations, which will also lead to excessive calorie intake and increase the risk of obesity.

Therefore, even the "sugar-free dumplings/Yuanxiao" may not be very healthy, but you should eat it slowly.

04

Clever collocation can make you eat healthily.

Tangyuan and Yuanxiao are also proper staple foods. Although they are not big, they are not low in calories. To slow down postprandial blood sugar and control weight, the most important thing is to learn to match.

① Reduce the staple food: Tangyuan/Yuanxiao is the staple food, so this meal should reduce the intake of other rice noodles, or if you don’t eat other rice noodles, you should take Tangyuan or Yuanxiao as the staple food and eat a few less. It is recommended to control it to 4~5, which is equivalent to the heat of 1~1.5 bowls of rice.

2 increase vegetables: vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, which can enhance satiety, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and delay postprandial blood sugar. It is suggested that you can eat 1.5~2 fists of cooked green leafy vegetables per meal.

▲ Figure worm creativity

③ protein should not be less: moderate intake of protein can also delay postprandial blood sugar. Eating eggs, meat, fish, shrimp and bean products together with staple food can reduce postprandial blood sugar reaction. For example, the GI of white rice is 82, but the GI of rice+fish is only 37; The GI of steamed bread is 88, but the GI of steamed bread+sauce beef is only 49. [1]

In addition to paying attention to the above collocation in diet, you should also pay attention to the selection of glutinous rice balls/Yuanxiao: try to choose the one with low calorie and fat content, and it is best not to contain lard in the ingredient list.

This is because some studies have shown that after adding lard, the time for the blood sugar of glutinous rice to rise to the peak after a meal will be delayed, and the peak blood sugar will still be high, while higher fat will also reduce the blood sugar control ability of the next meal. And the results of animal experiments show that excessive lard may promote insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. [2]

05

These five types of people should pay attention to eating glutinous rice balls/Yuanxiao.

① People with three highs must eat less: blood sugar is higher after meals.

② People who lose weight should eat less: Tangyuan and Yuanxiao are not low in calories.

3 Old people and children should eat less: avoid increasing the burden of digestion.

④ It is best for infants under 3 years old not to eat: even if the skin is not hot, the temperature of the stuffing is high, which is easy to burn, and sticky glutinous rice is easy to choke and there is a risk of suffocation.

5 people with gastrointestinal discomfort and poor digestive ability should eat less: avoid gastrointestinal discomfort.

Summary:

Tangyuan and Yuanxiao are not a kind of food. No matter which one you eat, you must control the amount. Lantern Festival, the moon, and the fifteenth day of the first month are round and round! Although Yuanxiao and Tangyuan are delicious, be careful that if you eat too much, it will become a "round pier"! I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival!

Can China Automobile Design Change the World? Geely automobile seizes the commanding heights of the industry

In the new era of electrified and intelligent automobiles, the international competitiveness and influence of China automobile enterprises are constantly improving. In order to promote the transformation from China manufacturing to China creation, China needs to create a brand-new design discourse system with its own characteristics.

On December 6th, the 10th Anniversary Forum of 2023 International Automobile Design and Geely Design was held in Shanghai. Dozens of influential figures covering production, learning, research and media were invited to attend and discuss with Geely how "good design has the power to change the world".

"Design is crucial. Design is not only an important reference standard for consumers to choose products, but also a key factor to determine product quality and the core competitiveness of Geely Automobile. " Yan Jiayue, CEO of Geely Automobile Group, said so.

According to reports, since its establishment in 2013, Geely Design has taken it as its responsibility to promote China’s independent automobile design in the new era. From "Damei China Car" to the rise of China’s independent design, to "Geely Yinhe" taking the lead in creating a new paradigm of China design in the era of smart electric. Geely constantly drives China automobile to climb the value peak again and again with its design, which affects the trend of automobile design in China and even the world.

Among them, Geely Yinhe E8 is the way out for Geely’s design-not compromising the existing conditions, constantly fighting against the entropy increase of design, and finding a beautiful order in the disorderly pattern.

Liu Ning, president of China Industrial Design Association, said: "We are very happy to see that it is an outstanding representative of an independent brand like Geely who is developing into a smart electric travel and energy service technology-based enterprise with global design competitiveness and influence, and constantly winning the recognition of the international community and global consumers."

Facing the opportunities and challenges of the times, China’s automobile design must change from single-point breakthrough to system capacity improvement. As Liu Ning said, "The design of new energy vehicles in China is not only the design of a single model, but also the design of the whole system, the whole value chain and the whole industrial chain".

If China’s automobile design wants to establish its own voice in the world, it needs to cooperate with all parties inside and outside the industry to participate in the promotion. The independent brand represented by Geely will promote the deep integration of Industry-University-Research, cultivate the future new force of China automobile design, and run out of the "acceleration" of independent training of talents.

In this forum, Geely Design, together with China Academy of Fine Arts, released the White Paper on China Automobile Design Discourse System (First Edition) in the field of automobile design in China, aiming at exploring the forward-looking thinking of China automobile design theory and system construction under the great changes. The release of this white paper has supplemented and improved the research system of automobile design in China, or it will become a landmark stop in the design history of automobile industry in China.

This year is the tenth year for Geely to explore the road of design. In the future, Geely Automobile will continue to contribute to the "good design" proposal of the world automobile development process and lead the industry to a new height in the development of the global automobile industry.

After VAR awarded OPE a penalty for Liverpool handball, Salah shot wide and missed the penalty.

Mohamed Salah missed a penalty for OPE against Bournemouth at noon on Saturday.

VAR awarded Liverpool handball

Salah broke the reds’ first goal of the season.

Klopp lost to relegation fighter Bournemouth.

What happened? Liverpool were awarded a penalty for Adam Smith’s handball, which gave them a chance to equalize the score against Bournemouth. Salah stood up for Liverpool’s first penalty of the season and uncharacteristically missed the ball!

The bigger picture: Liverpool hope to take advantage of last week’s 7-0 victory over Manchester United on the South Coast. Philip Bill scored the only goal of the game, and the Red Army fell behind. They thought they had a chance to return to the game before Salah missed the penalty.

King of cunning! Mourinho will do whatever it takes to reach another new height.

Mourinho has a wide range of highlights in his experience of coaching some top clubs in Europe. However, his most famous night happened in the Champions League in 2010/11, when two mysterious red cards seemed to benefit Real Madrid in the following rounds. Real Madrid’s qualification from Group G has been stabilized, and Mourinho tried to take action in the last game of the group stage against Ajax. Mourinho incarnated as a master of shuffling, clearly instructed Ramos and Alonso, and took the initiative to get two yellow cards and was sent off.

After Ramos and Alonso are sent off, they will be suspended for one game, but they will remain innocent in the most important knockout. Sure enough, Alonso completed this task in an efficient way and took the initiative to apply for a red card and was sent off. Ramos then received a second yellow card. As expected, the referee Craig Thompson did what was expected and sent off the two players. Then, Ramos walked up to the referee and shook hands with him, which made it more obvious that he was accepting Mourinho’s instructions.

Although Mourinho’s bold decision achieved the expected results, it also brought some adverse side effects to Real Madrid. UEFA ordered Real Madrid to pay a huge fine, Mourinho was suspended for two games and fined 40,000 euros, and the club was also fined 120,000 euros. This legendary coach who calls himself "a special one" makes UEFA very angry! Despite his cunning tricks, Mourinho felt the pain of facing his arch-rival Barcelona not once, but twice that season. First of all, Barcelona performed better in the two rounds of the Champions League semi-final and eliminated Real Madrid.

Under the leadership of coach Guardiola, Barcelona also easily won the La Liga championship with a 4-point advantage. Mourinho finally left Real Madrid in 2013 and returned to Chelsea, starting his second coaching career. After winning the Premier League title again at Stamford Bridge, the 60-year-old handsome man’s worth and reputation gradually declined. Before he took charge of Rome in 2021, his teaching achievements at Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur were unsatisfactory and mixed.

Beta thinks: During coaching Real Madrid, Mu Shuai will do whatever it takes to reach another new height! Mourinho is not only a special one, but also a veritable king of cunning. His unique personal charm attracts countless fans! I hope he can go further in Rome!

So for this news, fans, do you have anything to say? If you like this article, welcome to pay attention to Beta and chat with the stars and the ball game.

Is it really easy to turn graphics into video?

How many content creators keep up late to cut videos of liver explosion? Have you ever thought that one day we can get rid of this heavy work and be done by AI instead? In fact, judging from the development status of AIGC industry, the above imagination is entirely possible to become a reality, and it may be in the near future.

From the perspective of Xiaobian, the content editing industry will go through three stages of development, and we are currently in the initial state of the second stage.

The first stage: pure manual editing

In the traditional sense, it is the manual editing of staying up late to burst the liver. The quality of editing depends on the level of editors and the time spent. This stage is characterized by "high labor intensity" and "a lot of repetitive work". It is precisely because of this pain point that with the progress of technology, the pain point of "excessive physical labor" was first solved by AI. After all, what AI is best at is simple and repetitive labor.

The second stage: manual +AI collaboration stage

AI is good at simple and repetitive movements, but AI is not only good at simple and repetitive movements. So the development of video editing industry has entered the stage of "manual +AI collaborative editing". From the clipping used in our daily life to some commercial clips in the toB field, we can see that AI smart clips are active among them.

Watson, an artificial intelligence system of IBM, edited the trailer for the sci-fi thriller movie Morgan as early as 2016. The technical team collected 100 thriller movie trailers for Watson to machine learn. Watson’s unique training model tagged the details of these trailers, such as picture, audio, scene connection, sound configuration, etc., decomposed and learned one by one, and assigned them to its own creative model. Finally, Watson successfully used the trained data model to select materials from 90-minute movies, and edited them into a 6-minute trailer, which was successfully put into use for film announcement.

Up to now, this kind of intelligent matching tool platform has evolved to the extreme, and ordinary users can simply use AI function for intelligent editing. On the local AI intelligent graphic-to-video platform, one frame per second is the highest, and the user inputs the edited copy. AI will automatically perform intelligent picture matching from the platform’s powerful online material library, presenting its own intelligent video generation results in seconds, and matching all-round details such as pictures, dubbing, subtitles, etc. in one stop. Users can directly export and use it with simple confirmation, especially in the production of popular science content and simple sharing content with low editing difficulty.

At the same time, AI, as an auxiliary tool of intelligent editing, is also blooming in the development direction. At present, all kinds of AI-enabled editing software emerge in an endless stream, some of which support intelligent graphic-to-video, some of which focus on recording and cutting, and some of which can simulate the voice of the user for dubbing modification and adjustment. The "scoop" can also be quickly corrected through AI. In short, the current AI intelligent editing industry is in a thriving development trend. It can be said that with the progress and integration of technology, AI will be fully involved in the field of intelligent editing, and our video editing work will be greatly released.

The third stage: pure AI editing stage

In the future, AI will run video editing in the whole process, even the currently difficult "audit" work. This is a bold idea put forward by Xiaobian, which has certain subjectivity. The main idea of this view is that the compliance and rigor of AI creation are unmatched by human editing. At present, AI editing is still in the primary stage, so human assistance is needed in content review and sensitive screen screening. However, the speed and capacity of AI learning is far beyond that of human beings. With a large number of legal provisions and review rules being learned by AI, the whole process of video editing will be completed by AI.

AI can even avoid problems such as audit omission caused by human fatigue and negligence. Even, while recording and cutting, real-time synchronization, the completion of shooting is a piece of export, which is not completely impossible. In addition to the research and development of AI automatic editing software, there may be AI shooting intelligent hardware devices, workstations and other products in the future, so as to maximize the convenience of video production. The development of AI technology makes us more daring to imagine its bright future.

In addition, what really makes Xiaobian feel that the intelligent editing industry will eventually rise vigorously is that the existing problems "seem" are not problems, and AI will eventually break them one by one with strong technical strength. When the AI industry was just beginning to develop, we were worried that AI would replace some human jobs. At that time, the prediction given by the technology industry was that "art, creativity and other jobs that need to exert human imagination will not be replaced".

However, at present, AI’s original painting has become a reality, and the field of artistic creativity has become the first industry to be impacted. It can be seen that AI’s "imagination" is far beyond our imagination, and the speed of technology iterative update is much faster than expected. The future is really coming.
