　　Dedicate more fine products, which are small but not weak, short and not shallow, and are artistic, ideological and ornamental.

　　

　　As one of the hot spots in the film and television industry in recent years, "micro-short drama" has become a hot word on the Internet. At this year’s National People’s Congress, many deputies made suggestions and suggestions on micro-short plays, which aroused social concern.

　　From the initial stage of germination to the rapid growth, miniseries have become a "traffic highland" in the field of network audio-visual in a relatively short period of time. During this year’s Spring Festival holiday, the number of micro-short drama works and the scale of users have expanded significantly, and the "Spring Festival file" on the small screen has made a new splash, meeting the cultural needs of different groups of people. Inspirational drama "Beyond it! A Juan shows the traditional non-legacy of "Awakening the Lion", the romantic drama "The Great New Year’s Eve" reflects the contemporary young people’s views on marriage and love through personal growth, and the light comedy "Aunt’s World New Year’s Eve" focuses on social hot topics from the perspective of the elderly … According to incomplete statistics, only a short video platform has 8 works played more than 100 million times during the Spring Festival. According to statistics, in 2023, the market size of China’s online miniseries reached 37.39 billion yuan, and it is expected to exceed 100 billion yuan in 2027.

　　The popularity of miniseries is inseparable from the artistic expression that conforms to the iteration of media change. At present, short video has become one of the important ways of people’s daily entertainment. Based on the short video, the mini-short drama has the advantages of small volume, fast pace, dense plot and many reversals, which is more suitable for fragmented viewing time. At the same time, in the early stage of the development of miniseries, most of the works were produced by users themselves. The low threshold creation of the Internet has ignited the public’s enthusiasm for recording all kinds of life and expressing their true feelings. In addition, the production cycle of miniseries is short, the cost of setting scenes is low, the shooting cost is low, and there are many opportunities for realizing. This provides more opportunities for young people, which is conducive to the emergence of ideas and the enhancement of content richness.

　　It should also be noted that some unavoidable problems have also been exposed in the rapid development of miniseries. For example, shoddy work for quick delivery and low style for eye-catching will certainly do harm to the healthy creative ecology and business cycle. As a new cultural product with a wide audience, miniseries can’t go astray in extensive development, and should pay more attention to quality while attracting traffic.

　　Supervision and support go hand in hand to guide the orderly development of micro-short plays. In order to promote the high-quality development of miniseries, the State Administration of Radio and Television has repeatedly carried out special rectification and industry standardization, and made efforts to curb its barbaric growth and turn the governance work into normalization. At the same time, for outstanding works, the management department also gives strong support in financial support, expert guidance, award evaluation, matrix publicity and other aspects, and actively expands new tracks, such as combining with local cultural tours, to open up new ideas for the development of micro-short dramas. Facing the future, further strengthening effective supervision and strengthening policy support can help the high-quality development of the industry.

　　Attract professional teams to enter the market and promote the upgrading of micro-short plays. On the one hand, we should give full play to the professional advantages of traditional film and television companies, well-known directors and actors, and start with the whole chain of project planning, content creation, shooting and editing, publicity and promotion, so as to promote the overall improvement of the quality level of miniseries. On the other hand, the video broadcasting platform can provide support for micro-short plays, content incubation, talent training, etc., and systematically arrange the massive content in the past, creating a schedule system and a theater system to make the works reach the audience better.

　　Strengthen the awareness of fine products and win a double harvest of traffic and word of mouth. Miniature plays have horizontal and vertical screens, but the key to touching people’s hearts lies in quality. Nowadays, more and more creators abandon impetuousness, seek inspiration from fiery real life, temper quality and improve taste with sincere attitude, and meet people’s growing spiritual and cultural needs. More dedication to fine works, micro but not weak, short and not shallow, both artistic, ideological and ornamental, this is the broad road to the high-quality development of micro-short plays.

　　In the long run, miniseries are also a new cultural format. It is expected that the miniseries will continue to shine with new brilliance, move towards a broader stage in creation and communication, and become an effective carrier for telling the story of China.

　　People’s Daily (April 1, 2024, 05 edition)

The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed "cultivating new growth points and forming new kinetic energy in the fields of high-end consumption, innovation leading, green and low-carbon, sharing economy, modern supply chain and human capital services". This is the first time that the CPC Central Committee put forward the concept of modern supply chain, which indicates that the development of "modern supply chain" has officially risen to a national strategy. At present, China’s economy has changed from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, and it is in the key period of changing the development mode, optimizing the economic structure and transforming the growth momentum. In order to achieve high-quality economic development and build a modern economic system, it is urgent to develop a modern supply chain, play an important role in boosting supply-side structural reform, promoting optimal allocation of resources and improving economic quality and efficiency, foster new growth points and new kinetic energy, and promote quality change, efficiency change and power change of economic development.

Characteristics and development trend of modern supply chain

Modern supply chain is a concept corresponding to the traditional supply chain. It refers to an organizational form that takes customer demand as the guide, takes data as the core element, and uses modern information technology and modern organizational methods to efficiently integrate, optimize and coordinate upstream and downstream enterprises and related resources, so as to realize efficient coordination in the whole process of product design, procurement, production, sales and service. Compared with the traditional supply chain, the modern supply chain has the characteristics and trends of digitalization, intelligence, platformization, service, greening and globalization.

(A) Digitalization and intelligence have become the remarkable features of modern supply chain.

The rapid development and application of modern information technology has promoted the development of supply chain to a new stage of smart supply chain which is deeply integrated with Internet and Internet of Things. Digitalization, networking and intelligence have become the remarkable features of modern supply chain. Digital empowerment endows the supply chain with new intelligent features of big data support, networked sharing and intelligent collaboration, which greatly improves the efficiency of supply chain collaboration and significantly reduces the cost of supply chain. According to the data, an effective digital supply chain as a whole can promote the income growth of enterprises by 10%, the procurement cost by 20% and the supply chain cost by 50%.

(B) Internet platform has become a new form of modern supply chain development.

With the deepening application of modern information technologies such as big data, Internet of Things, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain, etc. in the supply chain, the organizational form of modern supply chain has gradually extended from multinational corporations to platform-based organizations, and platformization has gradually become an important feature of modern supply chain development. The cross-industry, cross-regional and cross-border industrial supply chain platform with platform-based enterprises as the core realizes resource integration and complementary advantages by cooperating with different countries, different regions, different industries and different enterprises, and builds a close cooperative global supply chain network, realizing integrated supply chain operation, and radiating and driving more and more upstream and downstream enterprises to develop in the direction of scale, clustering and specialization. At the same time, the upstream and downstream related enterprises at different levels form a supply chain ecosystem with cross-border integration, platform sharing and common prosperity under the integration of supply chain platforms, and promote the evolution of platform-based organizations to ecological organizations.

(C) Supply chain service has become a new service industry.

The reform of modern information technology and the deepening and refinement of industrial division of labor have promoted the separation of upstream R&D, raw material procurement, design and downstream brand management, sales, logistics and other service links, promoted the rapid development of supply chain service outsourcing, and promoted the innovation of supply chain service format to become an important trend of modern supply chain development. At present, the number of enterprises providing specialized supply chain services in China is booming and the types are constantly enriched, and a number of integrated supply chain service platforms represented by Yi Yatong and Yi Datong have been formed.

(D) Green supply chain management has become the social responsibility of enterprises.

With global warming, environmental pollution and other major ecological and environmental problems becoming increasingly prominent, green and sustainable development has become a global topic. Under the concept of sustainable development, cross-country cross-regional cross-domain supply chains are gradually required to be sustainable and responsible for society and ecology. In 2015, the "green supply chain" entered the APEC issue and became one of the most concerned topics in the world. At present, many multinational companies regard "green supply chain" management as an important task of social responsibility, and incorporate sustainable development and environmental protection into supply chain management. For example, since 2011, Huawei has included the environmental search of the non-governmental organization Public Environmental Research Center (IPE) in the supplier audit list and self-inspection form, requiring suppliers with problems to rectify within a time limit and strive to build a green supply chain. In 2017, Huawei ranked sixth in the IPE green supply chain CITI index, and domestic enterprises ranked first.

(E) The global economy has entered the era of supply chain coordination.

With the development of economic globalization and the escalation of regional economic and trade agreements, supply chain management has also developed from cooperation among domestic enterprises to cooperation among regional or global enterprises. Especially with the development of Internet technology, the mode of division of labor in the world has changed from industrial division based on comparative advantage to supply chain division based on factor advantage, and multinational enterprises participating in global division of labor have formed a reciprocal interdependence. In recent years, influenced by the rise of trade protectionism and other factors, although the process of economic globalization has slowed down, the global value chain and supply chain division system have been formed, and the trend is irreversible. In the global supply chain coordination system, the trade and investment among countries in the world are increasingly interrelated and influenced each other. You have me and I have you, and the interests are blended and mutually beneficial.

The important role of modern supply chain in supply-side structural reform

Promoting supply-side structural reform is a major strategic deployment made by the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core to profoundly grasp the new global economic pattern and the general trend of China’s economic development. It is an innovative measure to solve the problems of imbalance between supply and demand and overcapacity in economic development and lead China’s high-quality economic development. As a bridge and link between the supply side and the demand side, modern supply chain is an important starting point for promoting the structural reform of the supply side in a market-oriented way. The development of modern supply chain is conducive to the use of advanced supply chain management technology and mode to replace the inefficient and extensive operation mode in the past, promote cost reduction and efficiency improvement, optimize supply structure, supply quality and supply efficiency, and promote high-quality economic development.

(A) is conducive to achieving the goal of cost reduction

For a long time, China’s logistics cost is high. In 2017, the ratio of total social logistics cost to GDP in China was 14.6%, which was 3.4 percentage points lower than that in 2012, but still 5-6 percentage points higher than that in developed countries such as the United States. At present, China is at the critical stage of the transition from high cost and high growth to low cost and medium-high growth. With the deepening of supply-side structural reform, "cost reduction" has entered the stage of tackling difficulties. To further reduce enterprise costs, there must be new ways and new ideas. Modern supply chain can effectively reduce enterprise operating costs and transaction costs by integrating all kinds of resources, optimizing internal and external business processes, and strengthening the whole process and whole chain collaborative management from R&D and design, manufacturing to after-sales service. By integrating and optimizing the supply chain, Haier promoted business process reengineering, which reduced the enterprise inventory by 33%, manufacturing cost by 10%, management cost by 6% and timely delivery rate by 35%.

(B) conducive to improving the quality and efficiency of supply.

Judging from the stage of economic development, since China’s industrialization process has entered the middle and late stage of industrialization, the gap between the general technical level and advanced countries has been greatly narrowed. In this case, to improve the supply structure and create new supply, the most important thing is to improve the supply efficiency. The key to improving efficiency lies in promoting the optimal allocation and integrated innovation of factor resources by market-oriented means. With the help of information technologies such as Internet, cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence, modern supply chain promotes enterprises to make timely and accurate market reactions, make rational decisions, arrange production in an orderly manner, and get through all links from front-end design, production to circulation and final consumption, greatly improving production efficiency and circulation efficiency, and promoting accurate matching between supply and demand and industrial transformation and upgrading. According to McKinsey’s research report, China’s labor productivity can be increased by 15%-30% by promoting operational transformation through supply chain and other means. ZARA, an internationally renowned chain retail brand, can grasp the sales situation and inventory changes of every store in the world at any time through an efficient supply chain system, and respond quickly to the market consumption trend, and complete the planning and design of new clothes to the factory within one week.

(C) conducive to the cultivation of new economic kinetic energy

At present, China’s economy has changed from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, and it is in the key period of changing the development mode, optimizing the economic structure and transforming the growth momentum. Affected by the increasingly complex and changeable international economic situation, China’s economy is facing shrinking exports, overcapacity in traditional industries and bottlenecks in the development of traditional kinetic energy. It is urgent to deepen structural reform on the supply side and cultivate new kinetic energy. Modern supply chain, through resource integration and optimal allocation, is conducive to promoting the development of new formats and new models and promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and is a new driving force and engine for economic development. On the one hand, in the process of integrated development of manufacturing industry and service industry, by promoting cross-border integration, optimization and innovation of supply chain, new services and business models can be generated, specialized supply chain services can be formed, and new economic growth points can be cultivated. On the other hand, cultivating new kinetic energy of economic development should not only focus on the development of new formats, new industries and new models, but also attach importance to the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. In the process of upgrading traditional industries, by transforming the traditional supply chain and realizing the digitalization, networking and intelligent development of the supply chain, it can promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and form new kinetic energy for economic development.

(4) It is conducive to filling the shortcomings of industrial development.

In the international division of labor system, China has long been "locked" in the low-end link of the global value chain led by multinational companies in developed countries. In recent years, under the influence of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and the implementation of the "re-industrialization" strategy in Europe and America, the international economic and trade pattern has undergone fundamental changes, and international industrial transfer has formed a trend of "high-end links returning to developed countries" and "low-end links transferring to lower-cost areas such as Southeast Asia, South Asia and Africa", which has promoted the accelerated reconstruction of global value chains led by multinational companies from developed countries. As a result, the expansion space for China to continue to participate in the global value chain by taking advantage of traditional advantages is getting smaller and smaller, and the original model of global value chain development dominated by developed countries is unsustainable. It is urgent to explore new development models and promote the industry to extend to the middle and high end of the global value chain. By organically integrating all links in the global value chain, modern supply chain ensures the seamless connection of logistics and finance related to industries, promotes the coordinated development of upstream and downstream manufacturing industries, and gradually improves the front-end design, R&D, procurement and back-end brand, logistics, marketing, finance and other service capabilities, which is beneficial for Chinese enterprises to get rid of their dependence on multinational companies in developed countries, promote the manufacturing industry to move towards the middle and high end, and build a world-class advanced manufacturing cluster.

Developing modern supply chain to help supply-side structural reform

To give full play to the role of modern supply chain in promoting supply-side structural reform, we should take market demand as the guide and modern information technology as the support, accelerate the in-depth application of modern supply chain in various industries and fields, build and optimize the supply chain systems of key cities, industries and enterprises, cultivate new formats and models for supply chain development, promote the digital, platform-based, service-oriented and green development of supply chain, form new economic growth points and new kinetic energy, and promote the innovative development, transformation and upgrading of the real economy.

(1) Cultivate a digital and professional supply chain platform to create new kinetic energy for economic development.

Digital and professional supply chain platform is the core force to promote the development of modern supply chain. It is necessary to conform to the development trend of digital economy, accelerate the application of information technologies such as Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data and blockchain in supply chain management, encourage powerful enterprises to build a digital and professional supply chain platform, build a smart supply chain system with big data support, networked sharing and intelligent collaboration, realize the whole system, full life cycle and all-round linkage with software and hardware manufacturing resources of upstream and downstream enterprises, improve the informatization, networking and intelligence level of upstream and downstream enterprises in the supply chain, and improve the rapid response speed.

Digital and specialized supply chain platforms should focus on cultivating three categories:

The first is to cultivate a comprehensive service platform for the supply chain. Encourage third-party logistics enterprises and foreign trade enterprises to transform into supply chain service enterprises, build a comprehensive supply chain service platform, integrate high-quality resources from different regions, industries and enterprises, comprehensively cover the upstream procurement network, the midstream warehousing circulation network and the downstream sales service network of the industrial chain, and provide supply chain integration services integrating transactions, financing, settlement, logistics distribution, import and export agents, brand cultivation and marketing promotion, so as to realize resource integration, complementary advantages and coordinated sharing between the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.

The second is to cultivate a collaborative supply chain platform for production and marketing. Guided by the demand side, enterprises are encouraged to explore and develop a collaborative supply chain platform for production and marketing, build a large-scale customized supply chain and an intelligent manufacturing supply chain, drive the supply, procurement, stocking and distribution system with accurate demand forecasting, strengthen the synergy of supply chains, improve the response speed and synergy level of raw material procurement, production, logistics and distribution, and promote the integrated development of production and marketing.

The third is to cultivate a supply chain financial service platform. Encourage supply chain service enterprises and related logistics enterprises to cooperate with banks and e-commerce platforms, build digital, intelligent and visual financial services based on the risk control and credit system formed by data sharing of all parties involved, provide online credit, factoring, guarantee, settlement, wealth management and other comprehensive financial services for small and medium-sized enterprises in the upstream and downstream of the supply chain, reduce supply chain financing costs and improve the efficiency of supply chain financial services.

(B) Promote the innovation and application of industrial cluster supply chain, and improve the industrial supply chain system.

Since the reform and opening up, China has set up a number of industrial parks, such as economic and technological development zones, high-tech industrial parks and customs bonded zones, which have effectively promoted the development of industrial agglomeration in China, and formed a number of influential industrial clusters at home and abroad in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Bohai Rim. However, in recent years, with the rising factor cost and the implementation of "internet plus Strategy", the problems faced by traditional industrial clusters in China, such as squeezed development space, imperfect industrial chain and weak competitiveness of clusters, have become increasingly prominent. It is urgent to strengthen the innovation and application of supply chain in industrial clusters, effectively improve industrial synergy and promote industrial transformation and upgrading. Therefore, on the one hand, it is necessary to build various supply chain collaborative platforms around the common needs of enterprises in industrial clusters in product design, material procurement, manufacturing, inspection and testing, logistics and marketing, and improve the industrial supply chain system through collaborative design, collaborative procurement, collaborative manufacturing, collaborative logistics and financial services, so as to promote the mutual complement and common development of online platforms and offline industrial clusters. On the other hand, it is necessary to give full play to the supply chain resource integration and service capabilities of leading enterprises in different industrial clusters, and design, plan, control and optimize the logistics, business flow, information flow and capital flow in the supply chain, so as to promote the coordinated development of upstream and downstream enterprises and rapidly improve the innovation and application level of the supply chain.

(C) Promote enterprises to implement green supply chain management and promote industrial green transformation and upgrading.

Promoting enterprises to implement green supply chain management and build a green supply chain system is the core meaning of practicing the concept of green development and deepening the structural reform of supply side. At present, the development of China’s green supply chain is still in the initial exploration stage. Compared with developed countries, the awareness of green management of Chinese enterprises is relatively weak, and the environmental pollution caused by various logistics activities in the supply chain is still serious. Take the packaging recovery rate as an example, there is a big gap between China and developed countries. The data shows that in 2017, the actual recovery rate of cardboard and plastics in China’s express delivery industry was less than 10%, and the overall recovery rate of packaging was less than 20%. Most of these packages were directly sent to landfill sites, which brought great pressure to the urban environment. In some developed countries, the recycling rate of cardboard packaging is about 45%, while the recycling rate of plastic packaging is about 25%.

Therefore, we should take industry and enterprises as the core, speed up the construction of a resource-saving and environment-friendly procurement, production, marketing, recycling and logistics system, formulate strict green product standards, explore the establishment of a unified green product standard, certification and labeling system, and realize the green development of the supply chain. On the one hand, we should take enterprises as the core, implement green supply chain management, encourage enterprises to give priority to purchasing and using energy-saving and water-saving equipment, promote clean production and green manufacturing, produce green energy-saving and environmental protection products, expand the supply of green products and improve the quality of green products. On the other hand, it is necessary to build a green supply chain with key industries as the core and promote industrial transformation and upgrading. In agriculture, we should use green technology to protect and improve the agricultural ecological chain, establish and expand the green supply chain of agricultural products, vigorously develop agricultural circular economy, promote the organic and pollution-free development of agriculture, and realize the sustainable growth of agricultural economy. In the manufacturing industry, we will promote green supply chain management in industries such as electronic appliances, automobiles, steel and textiles, and promote the formation of an industrial supply chain with high technology content, low resource consumption and less environmental pollution through green transformation of product design, raw material selection, manufacturing process, logistics, recycling and final disposal, and promote the green transformation and upgrading of the industry. In the service industry, we should focus on the circulation link closely related to production and consumption, adopt modern information technology and management methods to transform the traditional circulation mode, continue to implement demonstration projects such as green procurement, green marketing and green shopping malls, encourage express delivery enterprises to develop recyclable packaging materials, and promote"Green Circulation Revolution" guides consumers to consume green.

(D) Promote the integration of advantageous industries into the global supply chain and help "de-capacity" and "fill shortcomings"

Seize the opportunity of the "Belt and Road" construction and international capacity cooperation, actively promote enterprises to deeply participate in global industrial chain and value chain competition, cooperation and division of labor, deeply integrate the global supply chain system, promote the "going out" of domestic excess capacity, actively build a global supply chain led by China enterprises, and enhance the position of China industry in the global value chain. First, combined with the actual situation of industrialization stage and industrial development in countries and regions along the Belt and Road, we will accelerate labor-intensive industries such as clothing, shoes and hats and capital-intensive industries with overcapacity such as steel, coal and cement to help "de-capacity". The second is to promote the transfer of advantageous technology-intensive industries such as electronic information and equipment manufacturing to countries along the route. By promoting the in-depth cooperation of the upstream, middle and downstream industrial chains, the "Belt and Road" industrial cooperation will be extended from the processing and manufacturing links to the high-end links in the global value chain such as cooperative research and development, joint design, marketing and brand cultivation, so as to build a global supply chain system with China’s initiative, complementary advantages and mutual benefit. The third is to promote the construction of border economic cooperation zones, cross-border economic cooperation zones and overseas economic and trade cooperation zones along the "Belt and Road", encourage enterprises to set up overseas distribution and service networks, logistics distribution centers, overseas warehouses, etc., establish a supply chain system based on the local market, improve the ability of global supply chain coordination and resource allocation, and create a more globally competitive industrial cluster.

"The economy has developed, but the spirit has lost. Can that country be called strong?" On March 18th, 2014, the question raised by General Secretary of the Supreme Leader at the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of Lankao County Committee in Henan Province was thought-provoking.

A nation without spiritual strength can hardly strive for self-improvement. The reason why the Chinese nation can be reborn after suffering setbacks is precisely because the national spirit has provided strong support.

In 2016, at the opening ceremony of the 10th National Congress of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the 9th National Congress of the Chinese Writers Association, the General Secretary pointed out that the motherland is the most solid support of the people and the hero is the brightest coordinate of the nation.

Coordinate is an important tool for us to position ourselves and know the world, and it is also our goal direction and spiritual guidance on the road of life.

The general secretary asked for heroes as "coordinates", which conveyed deep-seated culture and values. This is the respect and admiration for heroes, but also the inheritance and promotion of heroic spirit and heroic quality.

In September 2015, during the 26th collective study in the 18th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, the General Secretary talked about the letters from the martyrs of Zhao Yiman.

He pointed out that the letters from these revolutionary martyrs are the most vivid and convincing teaching materials for the education of ideals and beliefs, and they should be compiled into volumes and distributed to party member and cadres, and everyone should read and think about them frequently.

In September 2018, during an inspection tour in Fushun, Liaoning Province, the General Secretary went to lei feng memorial to visit Lei Feng’s handwriting, relics and photos to learn about his life story.

He emphasized that we should not only learn from the spirit of Lei Feng, but also learn from the practices of Lei Feng, turn lofty ideals, beliefs and moral pursuit into concrete actions, embody them in ordinary work and life, make our due contribution, and pass on the spirit of Lei Feng from generation to generation.

In August 2020, the general secretary came to Luojiatuan section of Chaohu levee in Hefei, Anhui. When visiting the relatives of comrades who died unfortunately in flood control and flood fighting, the general secretary said: "Your relatives are also our relatives, relatives of the people of the motherland, and heroes in our minds. When the Chinese nation is in danger, there are always some heroes who come forward. This is the embodiment of the great Chinese national spirit, and we will all respect them. "

… … … …

Different times make different heroes.

From ancient times to the present, whether it is Yue Fei’s loyal service to the country, Lin Zexu’s Destruction of Opium at Humen, or Huang Jiguang’s sacrifice to block the loophole, Wang Jinxi’s use of his body to mix cement and suppress the blowout … … They all stood up the backbone of the nation with their firm beliefs and feats of brave sacrifice and selfless dedication. They are all the shining coordinates of the national spirit.

Any country, any nation, at any time, needs its own hero.

Today, we also need heroes.

Poverty alleviation, fighting the epidemic, fighting the flood, and fighting the fire … … In the new era, ordinary people who stand up at critical moments and have the courage to take the lead and get out at critical moments have jointly built a monument to heroic spirit.

Qian Qihu, an expert in protective engineering who casts shields for the country, said: "When the motherland needs it, we will respond to the call"; Nie Haisheng, an astronaut who is determined to serve the country, said: "Be ready at all times and accept the choice of the motherland"; Du Fuguo, a demining soldier loyal to his mission, said, "Stand back and let me do it" … …

As the general secretary said, all people who control their own destiny for the Chinese nation and create a new path for national development are national heroes and national glory.

Love heroes and cherish heroes, and the country can produce heroes in large numbers; Only when heroes come forth in large numbers can the nation truly rise and the country truly become strong.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has always led the whole society to admire, defend and learn from heroes, praised meritorious figures with lofty courtesy, and cared for heroic models with practical actions.

China not only legally stipulates September 30th as the Martyrs’ Memorial Day, and promulgated the Law on the Protection of Heroes and Martyrs in People’s Republic of China (PRC), but also established the honorary commendation system for China’s special meritorious service such as the Medal of the Republic, the Medal of July 1st and the Medal of August 1st. Tell heroic stories, carry forward heroic morality, and convey the distinct value orientation of defending heroic martyrs.

Heroes are the brightest coordinates of the nation.

Taking the hero as the coordinate means that we should consciously integrate the heroic spirit into the practical actions to promote social development and national progress. Only in this way can we stand firm in the torrent of history and stand firm; In order to find a way out in the predicament, go forward bravely!

　　"Reform and opening up" is the biggest hot spot of the 2018 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia.

　　Facing the gate of the main venue of Boao Forum for Asia, the visual exhibition commemorating the 40th anniversary of China’s reform and opening up with the theme of "New Era and New Journey" has made people walk through 40 years in light and shadow.

　　In Boao, reform and opening up are China and the world in the minds of foreign guests — — Chris Marin, president of American Lena International Company, told Guangming Daily that China’s development in the past few decades has benefited from reform and opening up. The reform and opening up has created a huge market in China, which has benefited the American business community a lot. It can be said that reform and opening up are also beneficial to Sino-US relations.

　　In Boao, the reform and opening up is the global thinking of China scholars — — Gu Xueming, president of the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, said: "In a sense, the current economic globalization is facing challenges and may also require worldwide reform and opening up. China’s practice in the past 40 years can provide some useful lessons."

　　The reform and opening up not only brought epoch-making changes to China, but also had a great impact on the world. China has become the second largest economy in the world. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, comprehensive deepening of reform has broken down the institutional and institutional obstacles that hinder development, and 360 major reform plans and more than 1,500 reform measures have been introduced, making China develop vigorously and generate.

We should take the opportunity of celebrating the 40th anniversary of the reform and opening up to the outside world, open the way on every mountain, bridge the gap when encountering water, and carry out the reform to the end.

　　In the past five years, the changes in China have been profound and fundamental. The main contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people’s growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, facing many new tasks and challenges.

　　The reform and opening up since 1978 is a key measure to determine the fate of contemporary China. Forty years later, China planned and promoted reform from a higher starting point. Different from the state of "crossing the river by feeling the stones" 40 years ago, today’s reform in China has entered the fast-flowing deep water area, and it is going to step into an "upgraded version" led by top-level design.

After 40 years of reform and opening-up, along with GDP growth, environmental improvement, efficiency improvement, income increase and changes in the development stage, China won’t simply pursue speed in the future, but it doesn’t want speed, but it needs quality speed. "In the next 20 years, even by the middle of this century, Asia will still be the fastest growing region in the world, and the very important reason is the strong development of China. To achieve high-quality growth in China’s economy, it is necessary to carry out structural reforms on the supply side, vigorously cultivate new kinetic energy, and eliminate backward production capacity. " Dai Xianglong said.

　　"The open door of China will never be closed, it will only grow bigger and bigger."

　　"China will be more open and benefit the world to a greater extent."

After asking and answering questions, Lu Ai was amazed at China’s achievements in scientific and technological development. He told reporters that China’s scientific and technological innovation ability has made rapid progress, which has played a very good role in boosting economic development.

Liu Hualong, chairman of CRRC Group Co., Ltd. added that in addition to high efficiency, the future traffic should also include green, wisdom and harmony, which are the direction of future traffic tracks.

　　In the future production, how will machines and people coexist? Richard edmondson Bailey, president of Hewlett-Packard Asia-Pacific, said that innovation comes from human beings, not some computers. In the future, some jobs will be replaced by machines, but such changes will take time and everyone will have the opportunity to receive corresponding education and training. Dong Mingzhu, chairman of Gree Electric, said that people are the greatest in any era. It is impossible to grow without hard work, so challenge is our eternal topic.

　　Of course, innovation is comprehensive innovation. Participants believe that comprehensive innovation means not only scientific and technological innovation, but also institutional innovation. Only comprehensive innovation can truly inspire inexhaustible motivation.

1905 movie network news Directed by Hu Mei, written by Zou Jingzhi, starring Fu Dalong, Ma Yili, Olivia (especially), Ma Jinghan, Yao Anlian, and Jiao Huang, a national first-class actor, the historical masterpiece exploring the origin of Peking Opera for 300 years was officially released nationwide today.The film is a collection of top performers in the industry and powerful opera players. It has been polished for six years, and it explores the ups and downs of "Huiban going to Beijing" 300 years ago by taking advantage of the origin of the quintessence of Peking Opera.

　

After six years of painstaking efforts, Hu Mei teamed up with Zou Jingzhi to recount the legend of secret history.

The script of the film Into Beijing was written by Zou Jingzhi, a famous screenwriter in China, for three years. The story is based on the colorful event of "Huiban going to Beijing" in the history of Peking Opera’s origin 300 years ago. It tells the story of the feud between the Beijing Palace and Quyi Pear Garden, and the seclusion of Yue Jiu, a master of opera, and the rebellion of Wang Runsheng, a popular martial artist, at the end of the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, when the emperor wanted to celebrate his eightieth birthday in Beijing.

　

Hu Mei, a famous fifth-generation female director in China, was deeply touched by the spirit of "ocean deep, the drama is bigger than the sky" in the script, and resolutely took over the guide. In order to present the essence of Peking Opera on the screen accurately and to the extreme, Hu Mei personally visited all parts of Anhui Province to explore the survival status of Peking Opera among the people, which was very shocking. "Children who enter school in Lian Gang can sing an authentic Peking Opera anytime and anywhere, which shows the importance of inheritance". After the visit, Hu Mei hoped to use the time of a movie to awaken the young audience’s interest in the art of Peking Opera, which was especially admirable.

Kasi’s strength breaks through the unity of Fu Dalong people and drama, and Ma Yili and Olivia are hard to reconcile.

In the previously exposed trailer of "Entering Beijing", each character’s excellent lines and hidden "divine eye skills" left a very deep impression on the audience.

　

Fu Dalong’s performance, which has always been low-key, is one of the important reasons why many audiences look forward to Entering Beijing. Hu Mei, the "winner of the Triple Crown", plays Yue Jiu, a great master of traditional Chinese opera. You know, this is the first time that Fu Dalong has played a leading role in film and television works. According to director Hu Mei, before the filming, Fu Dalong’s opera skills were close to zero, but he refused to use body double and insisted on going into battle in person in every scene. Therefore, Fu Dalong, with the help of the film drama director Ha Dongxue, practiced hard and sleepless, until he became one with Yue Jiu in appearance and even in psychology, and vividly interpreted the opera realm of "no madness, no survival".

Ma Jinghan, who plays the most opposite role to Fu Dalong, is a well-trained Peking Opera student. This time, he plays Wang Runsheng, a popular martial artist in Chuntai class in the film. From the initial deviant, he later sang the drama "A Thousand Miles to Jingniang" with Yue Jiu on the stage in Beijing, which is a legendary fate.

The performances of Feng Gege and Fang Chunrong’s actors Ma Yili and Olivia, who are deeply involved in Wang Runsheng’s emotional entanglements respectively, are also important points in the film. Feng Gege, played by Ma Yili, has both a mature and steady childe costume and an aristocratic style with gorgeous clothes. Her encounter with Runsheng is like the love of boya in her childhood, and her feelings are hidden.

Fang Chunrong, played by Olivia, once won the screams of many post-90s and even post-00s audiences when the film was screened. Her interpretation of Chunrong reproduces the pure beauty of women in the mountains in detail, and with extremely gentle and charming eyes, it shows the infinite charm of graceful and touching, and teaches Runsheng to treat each other with the warmest feelings. In the film, Fang Chunrong’s time span of nearly 10 years is accurately presented in Olivia’s beautiful, delicate and moving control. She also won her first international film festival trophy — — The Best Supporting Actress Award in the 10th Macau International Film Festival shows its important position in the film.

The emotional entanglement between Chunrong and Gege and Runsheng can be said to be a very heavy plot clue in Entering Beijing. What is the result of this confusing love puzzle, which needs the audience to go to the cinema to reveal it in person.

On the day of release, the film simultaneously exposed the ending song "Who will take care of your beauty" MV, which was sung by Mi Liang, who plays the imperial concubine in the film. The euphemistic singing combined the two musical elements of ancient style and Beijing opera, which made people listen to it and made up for the twists and turns in the film.

　

The roadshow has been reported frequently, and the young audience has recommended it as a domestic platform for good drama.

On May 8th and 9th, "Into the Capital" was shown in several cinemas in Beijing, and the full-house spectacle surprised Hu Mei and Ma Jinghan who attended the post-screening creative exchange meeting.

Surprisingly, most of the praise for movies comes from young audiences who are mainly from the post-90 s and even the post-00 s. In the question-and-answer session of a post-screening communication session, a young movie fan who is only a few years old ran directly to the stage and asked Hu Mei questions. The scene was very interesting and moved other audiences. Hu Mei therefore felt: "Our country now attaches great importance to the education of young people, which is also an important reason why our films can approach young people."

　

At the screening site, many young viewers longed for Hu Mei’s name and specially came to see the true meaning of the new work "Love Bean". Seeing this scene, Ma Jinghan was also "tickled", and immediately opened his mouth with amazement, and performed a classic drama "Dingjun Mountain", which won the applause of the whole hall with his professional opera skills. Not only that, many fans from Ma Yili and Olivia attended the screening.

Special feature of 1905 film network Insight into the film industry and embrace China films. In 2023, China Film Report "Blue Feather Living Room" launched the "Dialogue Spring" specially planned by the two sessions, inviting representatives from ten film companies to jointly make a beautiful vision of China’s films moving forward in the wind. From welcoming spring to entering spring. Now, once again, starting from the booming Spring Festival, we are working hand in hand with filmmakers to dream of 2024, when China movies are surging.

The latest "China Film Report" and "Blue Feather Meeting Room" special program of the two sessions — — "Dialogue Spring", the first phase welcomes "Head of China Film", member Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Party Secretary and Chairman of China Film Group, and Chairman and General Manager of China Film Co., Ltd. Looking back at the eye-catching transcripts handed over in the past year, and looking forward to the next heavy new films that will be dedicated to the audience, China Film will continue to lead and promote the sustained and high-quality development of China’s film industry by deepening its content and exploring technology.

China film continues to deepen the content layout market.

Exposure trends of heavy new films such as "Volunteer 2"

In the past Spring Festival, China Film participated in the production and distribution of many films. The record-breaking data and the booming momentum made Fu Ruoqing feel the unity of the whole industry and the confidence brought by the return of the audience.

"The Spring Festival file has achieved such results. First, there is supply. The number and types of films supplied this year are very rich. Second, I think it is the audience’s return to the cinema, which has given the greatest support to this Spring Festival file, showing a decline in ticket prices and an increase in the number of people watching movies." Fu Ruoqing bluntly said that this is what the industry most wants to see: "It marks the cultural and entertainment life of movies as the masses, and more people are willing to participate."

In 2023, China Film’s business performance in the industry was also very eye-catching, with 37 films produced and released, and 570 films led or indirectly participated in the distribution.

The completion of these market layouts relies on the continuous deepening of China Film: "In the past three years, we have accumulated a large number of creative scripts and films to be completed at the shooting level, so once there is such a stage in the market, we can come up with corresponding works to show." Fu Ruoqing also said that in the process of creation and production, various production units have really "twisted into a rope".

Looking forward to 2024, the new film list that China Film will present to the audience is also full of gold and sincerity. On the basis of the first part, "Volunteer Army: Attack of Heroes 2" further enhances the story of the characters and expresses the feelings and dedication of "small family" and "everyone". In order to welcome the 75th anniversary of the founding of New China, China Film also plans to bring this blockbuster sequel to the National Day this year, and the later stage of the film has been basically completed.

Another work that has attracted much attention is The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great Man, which has been put into elaborate post-production after the filming. 2024 coincides with the centenary of birth, and China Film also hopes to dedicate this classic adaptation to martial arts culture lovers and fans at the most appropriate time.

Fu Ruoqing said that from the script stage to the later stage, every time I went to the film crew to visit the class, then to the sample film and the final editing, everyone was satisfied with this "Legend of the Condor Heroes". From the director’s unconstrained creation to the new batch of actors trained, it will definitely surprise the audience: "The costumes are very good, and their interpretation can also make everyone shine."

In addition, at present, China Film is still working hard to create a film reflecting the life of Macao people and celebrate the 25th anniversary of Macao’s return to China: "We plan to start filming in April and strive to release it at the time of Macao’s return at the end of the year, so that everyone can see what changes one country, two systems has brought to Macao after the return."

Explore the upgrading of technology and production capacity and pay close attention to social phenomena.

China Film actively promotes the high-quality development of China films.

Not only deeply cultivate the content, but also China Film has been actively exploring the upgrading of film technology and promoting the improvement of film production capacity. Take CINITY, the core projection technology, as an example. Since its birth, this projection mode has entered the fourth generation stage: "Last year, we launched CINITY, the first version of 4K120 LED. It changed the traditional projection mode and adopted the self-luminous mode, and there was no projection room. " Next, what kind of revolution will the change of projection mode bring to the industry? Fu Ruoqing thinks this is full of great daydream space.

Various technologies are also feeding back and helping creation. Another blockbuster new work of China Film in 2024, "Only Green", adopted CINITY high frame rate camera: "The purpose is to hope that every scene and every movement can express more delicately and accurately what these dancers have done to interpret the roles. The sound and immersion effects of the theater also make his viewing impact stronger. "

In addition, upcoming films will also be shown in cinemas in CINITY high format. This has further promoted the goal of China Film to "go out and bring in" and actively promote the cultural exchange between Chinese and foreign films from the technical level. The introduction of overseas films helps the audience to better understand different cultures and appreciate world masterpieces, and also helps filmmakers to better understand the development trend of the industry and improve their industrialization and narrative expression.

At this year’s National People’s Congress, Fu Ruoqing also made two proposals to pay close attention to social phenomena from the perspective of the film industry. One is that in recent years, criminals have used film investment to commit fraud. I hope to form more channels and platforms, so that investors should not be deceived and fooled; Another proposal is related to the creation of the film "Genius Translator". Through the film, we can understand the plight of patients with two-way mental disorders. Fu Ruoqing expects to help everyone form a cognition through the film and truly enhance people’s family well-being.

"The high quality of the film is nothing more than two points. The first is the content, and the second is the technical level. Content, to create more films accepted by the market and loved by the audience, technology should rely on all aspects of China industry, China economy and China society to promote the film industry. " Fu Ruoqing believes that with such a foundation, China films will surely have a bright future of high-quality development.

　　　　　　　　"Cats’ shovel slave" has become a proud nickname for a large number of cat lovers. For many young artists, the elegance, charm and mystery of cats provide endless comfort and warmth for their lives. In history, cats, a mysterious creature, have also experienced the fate of being respected or slaughtered.

　　　　　　　　According to a study in Science in 2007, there is almost no difference in gene arrangement between the subspecies of modern domestic cats and the wild cats in the Middle East, which proves that domestic cats really originated from the Middle East alone. Archaeologists once found a wild cat buried in a man’s cemetery about 9500 years ago in Cyprus, which provided some evidence for the early relationship between human beings and cats. In the ruins of Quanhu Village in China (Yangshao and Longshan Cultural Sites in Neolithic Age), eight bones of two cats dating back to 5,300 years have also been found. According to the collagen isotope analysis of their bones, the food of these two cats is mainly meat and millet, which proves that these cats are probably fed by humans.

　　　　　　　　In the medieval and early modern history of Europe, there have been many large-scale massacres against cats, and they are often associated with witch hunting. Why did Christian culture in the late Middle Ages have such a strong hatred for cats?

　　　　　　　　This story begins with the ancient Egyptian civilization in the Middle East, the birthplace of domestic cats.

The Best God of Ancient Egypt: the Golden Age of Cats

　　　　　　　　Among ancient civilizations, the worship of cats by Egyptians was the most striking. In Egyptian mythology, the sun god Dora once turned into a cat, defeating the python Apophis, which prevented the sun from rising and setting in the west, so people regarded the cat as the incarnation of the god. As early as the second dynasty (2890 BC), the worship of the cat god Best appeared in Lower Egypt and the Nile Delta. In Upper Egypt, Sekhmet, the god of war and healing, mainly appeared as a lion-faced woman. After the unification of upper and lower Egypt, around the first Millennium BC, the God Best and the God Sehmet gradually merged and appeared as a cat-faced woman. Especially after the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt moved its capital to Thebes, the image of the cat god Best became more fixed.

Cat god best

　　　　　　　　With the popularity of domestic cats in Egypt, the image of their gods has gradually changed from the god of war to the god who guards their homes, but it still has the symbolic significance of Pharaoh defenders. For example, in the Middle Kingdom period, the statue of Best depicted a cat face, but it often attached a lion face mask to show its original wildness and strength.

　　　　　　　　Herodotus, a Greek historian, visited babs in Egypt in 450 BC, leaving us a precious record of cat worship. He wrote that in this place, if you deliberately kill a cat, you will be sentenced to death; For manslaughter, a considerable amount of money should be compensated according to the requirements of the priestess. If the domestic cat dies (mostly due to food poisoning or being bitten by other wild animals), the whole family should shave their eyebrows to express their condolences, otherwise the best god will suffer.

　　　　　　　　The dead cat will be sent to the temple to be mummified and buried. At the end of 19th century, a cat graveyard was found in Egypt, in which about 300,000 cats were buried. These cats were all painted with spices and mummified, and even there were mice and thread balls for cats to play in the tomb. In addition, in the event of a fire, if the ancient Egyptians saw a cat walking through the fire, they would hold a grand mourning ceremony, because it represented that the cat god was alleviating the disaster for others.

Cat Mummies in Ancient Egypt

　　　　　　　　Domestic cats in ancient Egypt mainly prevented mice from stealing food. In addition, cats can also fight snakes, thus giving them a noble and mysterious power, which is also in line with the legend of pulling gods and fighting python in Egyptian mythology. In addition to catching mice, domestic cats often go hunting with their owners. In the British Museum, there is a picture of "Cats Hunting" in ancient Egypt.

　　　　　　　　During the new dynasty, many women who want to have children will also wear amulets painted with the cat god Best, and the number of kittens depicted on the amulets represents the number of children they wish to have. By Ptolemy’s time, Egypt was gradually influenced by Hellenism, and Best, the cat god representing the moon, was also interpreted by the Greeks as a variant of Al themis. When the Romans occupied Egypt, especially the rise of Christianity, this pagan worship gradually disappeared.

Cats in Jewish culture

　　　　　　　　Some people think that the negative Christian view of cats comes from the fact that there is no record of this animal in the Bible. However, on closer examination, this explanation is far-fetched.

　　　　　　　　Although there are no cats in the Bible, there have been many other big cats, especially lions and leopards. For example, in Genesis, Jacob, the Jewish ancestor, blessed his son Judas and said, "Judas is a lion cub; My son, you come up after hunting food, prostrate yourself like a lion and a lioness. Who dares to disturb you? "

　　　　　　　　Some people think that cats are not recorded in the Bible because Egyptians worship cat gods, while Jews regard them as idolatry and do not record them. However, other animal gods worshipped by Egyptians are often recorded in the Bible. Some later generations explained that although Jews were imprisoned in Egypt for 400 years, they probably did not know the existence of domestic cats. Because the Egyptians regarded cats as gods, they were not easily contacted by Jews who were slaves. In addition, there were almost no cats in the early Greek and Roman civilization, and they didn’t know about the existence of domestic cats until they conquered Egypt.

　　　　　　　　It is worth noting that there is indeed a description of cats in the Talmud. One of them said, "If God had not promulgated the Torah for us, we would have learned humility from cats." (Eruvin, 100b) A 9th-century rabbi’s exegesis book records that cats’ modesty is mainly reflected in the fact that they often cover their faces. Moreover, cats have the habit of burying excrement and cleaning their bodies, which also makes Jews who like cleanliness regard them as virtue teachers in life.

　　　　　　　　There are also negative records about cats in the Talmud. A rabbi’s student asked him why dogs know their owners, but cats can’t. The rabbi replied that because cats eat mice, their memory declines; The more mice cats eat, the worse their memory. However, in Jewish customs, there is no taboo about cats, especially black cats, in Christianity later.

Chapter "Ode to Domestic and Wild Animals" in Ode to the Universe

　　　　　　　　Perek Shirah, a Jewish religious reading about the 10th century, depicts various scenes in which creatures praise the creator. Among them, the eulogy sung by cats comes from a famous sentence in the Psalms: "I pursued my enemies and captured them until they were wiped out and never returned." Obviously, the image of cats as hunters is still highly praised in Jewish culture.

　　　　　　　　In the Middle Ages, Jews living in Gedu also kept cats, mainly to prevent mice from eating the Bible and stealing food. During the Black Death, the existence of domestic cats in Jewish communities also largely resisted the spread of plague. Of course, some studies have pointed out that Jews’ eating habits and living environment may protect them to a greater extent. Because in the late Middle Ages and early modern times, many people at the bottom of western Europe ate rat meat, which also provided more opportunities for fleas who spread plague, while Jews were often spared because of the clean diet law. However, these in turn strengthened the hatred of Jews and cats in Western Europe, believing that it was they who secretly spread the Black Death.

Cats in monasteries and manuscripts

　　　　　　　　The Christian world was not hostile to cats from the beginning. In medieval monasteries, cats have always existed, and their figures have been preserved through medieval manuscripts. In addition to the collection of animal fables, the image of cats appears in the margins of medieval manuscripts, which is quite entertaining. According to the research of St. isidore, the origin of the Latin name (catus) of cats means "catching". Although this is not the case in etymology, it also shows that in the eyes of medieval people, the main function of cats is to catch mice, and they are endowed with the image of hunters.

　　　　　　　　Rats have always been the natural enemies of books, and the traces of these small animals have survived for thousands of years through manuscripts.

　　　　　　　　The most unacceptable thing for people is that rats will chew the candles in the church and even steal the Eucharist (unleavened bread) placed in the Eucharist niche. This is a great blasphemy! In a collection of animal fables in the mid-13th century, it was described that big cats caught mice that ate the Eucharist.

The mouse steals the Eucharist, the cat catches the mouse, and at the bottom there is a cat who is playing an instrument, Harley MS 4751, F.30V.　 　 　 　　

　　　　　　　　In addition to eating manuscripts and stealing the Eucharist from the church, mice also ate the cheese of monks, which was quite expensive food in Europe at that time. In a medieval manuscript about the late 11th century, it depicts a mouse climbing onto the dining table and stealing Hildebert’s cheese. Hildebert holds a stone for killing. At the table, a big cat depicted as a lion is majestically guarding the manuscript copied by its owner. The most interesting thing is that when I carefully observed the manuscript spread out in front of Hildebert, I found that it was actually a curse on the mouse: "The meanest mouse, you often annoy me." Let God destroy you! " （Pessime mus, sepius me provocas ad iram; ut te deus perdat）

　　　　　　　　An Irish monk in the 9th century once wrote a touching poem for his cat. In his works, the kitten’s hunting life is integrated with his own academic exploration. The little white cat in the famous animated film The Secret of Kells comes from this poem called Pangur Bán (excerpt):

　　　　　　　　Me and my little white cat Pangu,

　　　　　　　　Engaged in similar affairs.

　　　　　　　　Its fun is catching mice,

　　　　　　　　I chased the words all night.

　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　The praise of the world,

　　　　　　　　Far less than sitting alone with books and pens.

　　　　　　　　……

　　　　　　　　How sweet this job is to us,

　　　　　　　　How fascinated we are with this job.

　　　　　　　　……

　　　　　　　　We find our own peace in our work,

　　　　　　　　I have mine, my cat Pangu has its own, joy.

　　　　　　　　In our respective arts, we find our own ecstasy,

　　　　　　　　I have mine, it has its own.

　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　I’m practicing my skills day and night,

　　　　　　　　Pangu is also perfecting its skills.

　　　　　　　　My wisdom is growing day and night,

　　　　　　　　Turn the long night into endless light.　 　 　 　　

　　　　　　　　However, not all cats are so unpopular. A 1445 manuscript left a cat paw print, and the owner of the manuscript must have been very upset at that time. However, this is not the most distressing thing. A manuscript written in about 1420 records the curse on cats, because the scribe found that cats peed in the manuscript he copied. Therefore, the scribe had to stop copying on this half page, and explained the reason and the warning to future generations: "There is nothing missing here, but a cat spilled urine on it one night." I’m going to curse the cat that peed on my book here in Fintel one night, and curse other cats because of it. Be careful not to leave the book open where the cat may sneak in. "

　　　　　　　　In addition, in the depiction of the Middle Ages, cats were often associated with string players, which may be due to the similarity of their beards and strings. For example, in an early 14th century Book of Hours, several kittens were elegantly playing three-stringed instruments.
