Developing modern supply chain to help deepen supply-side structural reform

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.

Lu Chenhui, the "first beast in China", how to create a clothing brand with an annual income of over 100 million yuan at home?

When Lu Chenhui was 16, he was only a security guard.

He stands in his post every day, watching people come and go, but what he thinks in his heart is: "I am standing here as a security guard now, but I can’t be a security guard all my life. I will go to the gym after work, because that is my future."

From the age of 14, Lu Chenhui fell in love with fitness. He firmly believes that he will become a bodybuilder. Therefore, when he was a security guard, no matter how tired he was when he stood guard at work, he would go to the gym for strength training as soon as he got off work.

While working and exercising, Lu Chenhui persisted for six years. In a bodybuilding competition in Jiangsu Province in 2008, Lu Chenhui won the first championship in his life. Since then, he has become a minor celebrity in the bodybuilding circle, and often shares training methods in post bars and forums, accumulating the first batch of fans.

Under the long-term bodybuilding training, Lu Chenhui’s body has become shoulder-wide, waist-thin and muscular, and it is difficult to find clothes that fit in the market-which is also a common pain point for fitness people.

Lu Chenhui, founder of BODYDREAM

Therefore, Lu Chenhui founded the sportswear brand BODYDREAM in 2015 to meet the needs of the fitness crowd, and integrated his aesthetic concept of the trend into the brand. "The meaning of BODYDREAM is to pursue the dream of the body. On the one hand, it represents the sport of fitness. On the other hand, it also means that everyone can persist in action on the road of pursuing their dreams by controlling their own bodies." Lu Chenhui said.

Starting: from "wage earners" to entrepreneurs

When Lu Chenhui was still working, he invested most of his income in bodybuilding.

Because bodybuilding is a competitive sport that needs a lot of money, besides a lot of training, athletes have to supplement high-quality protein every day to increase their muscles, as well as buying equipment, hiring coaches, playing games and other large expenses. Lu Chenhui bluntly said: "Others think that bodybuilding is a profitable thing, but it is actually a hobby that needs money to support."

In order to earn more money to improve bodybuilding performance, Lu Chenhui began to try to start a business in 2013. He opened a Taobao shop, specializing in fitness supplements and fitness equipment, and double 11 sold 1000 yuan that day, which was a lot for him at that time. Later, according to the different needs of fitness crowd, he founded three sportswear brands: BODYDREAM, BDPOWERUP and Lujiamen.

At the same time, Lu Chenhui’s bodybuilding road has gradually reached its peak. In order to win the championship in more heavyweight competitions, Lu Chenhui once spent 600,000 yuan to invite foreign star coach Milos.During these two months of "devil training", Lu Chenhui will do seven groups of movements at a time, without any rest, and train for more than 8 hours every day. Although he will burst into tears because of extreme fatigue, he will persist with willpower.In 2018, Lu Chenhui won the overall championship of golden league Men’s Bodybuilding Professional Indifference Group, and he was also the only China player in this group.

That year, Lu Chenhui was only 30 years old and finally realized his dream. On this road of persisting in love, he changed from a "small security guard" to "China’s first muscular beast" and from a "wage earner" to a successful entrepreneur.

At present, there are three brands under Lu Chenhui’s name, namely BODYDREAM, BDPOWERUP and Lujiamen. Among them, BODYDREAM is the most well-known brand, with annual revenue exceeding 100 million yuan.

In the early days of BODYDREAM’s business, Lu Chenhui only had a starting capital of 5,000 yuan, and the team only had himself and his wife. In the living room at home, they established the brand of BODYDREAM.

Because of limited funds, they can only find small-scale factories to customize clothes. Lu Chenhui recalled: "We took a bus and went to a garment factory in the suburbs of Xuzhou. The garment factory was also an entrepreneur, so it also supported customers like us. They helped us make nearly 200 T-shirts, and they were also very careful in material selection and production. "

After Lu Chenhui got the first batch of clothes, he and his wife worked as Taobao customer service at home and packed and delivered them themselves. At first, Taobao shop didn’t have much sales, and it sold one or two pieces a day. However, with the continuous promotion of Lu Chenhui on his social media, he gradually accumulated the earliest users, that is, paying attention to his fans and fitness enthusiasts.

BODYDREAM, which started with Lu Chenhui’s personal IP, has encountered great limitations in brand development-mainly spread in the fitness circle.

At this time, a young man in the team put forward the idea of brand transformation: "Maybe it can make BODYDREAM develop in the direction of leisure sports."

He is Li Ang, the current operation director of BODYDREAM. In 2017, Li Ang joined the BODYDREAM team. As a young man who just graduated, Lu Chenhui saw many possibilities from him. "Now young people are very advanced in thinking. Although they don’t have much work experience, they can inject fresh blood into the brand and break the inherent thoughts and limitations." Lu Chenhui said.

picture

Growth: annual revenue exceeds 100 million yuan.

Because of the fresh blood in the team, BODYDREAM began to break through its original position and gradually transformed from fitness clothing to sports and leisure clothing.

Since 2016, Lu Chenhui has started to operate his personal IP and brand image separately. Since then, BODYDREAM has no longer interacted frequently with Lu Chenhui’s personal IP, but chose to cooperate with KOL to create some co-branded models and expand the brand’s popularity to the general public. Not only that, BODYDREAM is also worn by many stars.

The brand positioning of BODYDREAM now is a simple and pragmatic sports and leisure brand, and simplicity and practicality is the main direction of BODYDREAM product development.; The target users of BODYDREAM have gradually expanded from the early fitness crowd to young people who love fashion culture, and the proportion of female users has also increased from 4% to about 30%.

"Nowadays, many people are tired of printing on clothes, and prefer simple and practical basic models. However, the basic models often lack a sense of design, so we want to add design elements such as patterns, fabrics and crafts to the simple style to make the clothes’ simple but not simple’, "Lu Chenhui said. This style is more attractive to young people who pursue low-key and exquisite details.

At present, BODYDREAM’s clothing is divided into four series: one is the classic series focusing on leisure; The second is the sports series; The third is the B+ series, focusing on mid-to high-end products; The fourth is the special planning series, focusing on IP joint-name products.BODYDREAM’s clothing spans 7 yards, covering the body shapes from 90 kg to 300 kg, and the design of shoulder drop in some products has a decorative effect on many body shapes.Lu Chenhui said: "This design can well modify the lines of shoulders, so that people with strong bodies are not fat, and thin people are more tall and straight."

When the sales of clothes continued to rise, Lu Chenhui expanded the supply chain of BODYDREAM to Guangzhou, Wuxi and other places, and built a factory in Xuzhou in 2018, with an annual production capacity of 300,000 pieces. "At present, our factory is fully automatic equipment, and we also control it very strictly in product quality control. For example, if the national standard requires testing whether a garment is pilling, it is necessary to test 600 revolutions with a professional machine, and we ourselves require testing 2000 revolutions internally." Lu Chenhui said.

The sales channel of BODYDREAM has also expanded from the initial Tmall store to JD.COM, Dewu, Tik Tok, Vipshop and other e-commerce platforms. At present, the best-selling platform is Tmall, which can sell about 500,000 pieces every year. Last year, the total revenue of BODYDREAM exceeded 100 million yuan.

At the end of the interview, Lu Chenhui shared that fans once asked him how he could stick to his goals.

He said: "Everyone has a vision of what he wants to be, but it can’t be achieved by fantasy. You need to take action.Although we work hard every day, don’t let that thing in your heart disappear. Even if you spend an hour every day, take action and plan for your future.Maybe after five years, you won’t have to go to work or get off work, but you can pursue what you really want to do. At that time, you already have this ability. "

Kimi asks for human flesh, tianjin fire hero netizen spits out: no culture

Kimi Weibo was vomited by netizens

    1905 movie network news There was a major explosion in the coastal area of Tianjin last night, and many stars prayed in Weibo. At noon today, actor Kimi also sent Weibo to pray for Tianjin, calling for help to find out the families of firefighters to tide over the difficulties. However, he used words such as "human flesh" and "self-destruction", and his language was confusing, which was madly vomited by netizens.

    The original text of Weibo, Kimi is as follows:

    It’s not that moths still throw themselves into the fire, only for Tianjin, developed networks, omnipotent meager, please invite people to kill those heroes, remember their appearance, help their families, and share the current difficulties. Because everything will be fine.

    In this regard, netizens did not buy it, and they vomited their "no culture" and "low emotional intelligence" and asked him "Can heroes be eaten by human flesh?" . In the face of netizens’ spit, Kimi then deleted the Weibo.

Investigation on the financial life of "gold speculators" in Beijing: small gold bars taste great sweetness

    The price of gold is soaring, and the variety of gold investment is increasing-


    Recently, the international gold price has been leaping forward, approaching the historical high point in 1980. With the increase of gold investment varieties, investors are easy to "picky" while choosing a wider range. The reporter specially interviewed some representative "gold speculators" and analyzed the investment through examples.


    Gold speculation attitude


    Xiaojintiao tastes great sweetness.


    ● Respondent: Mr. Sun.


    -Gold speculation record: the value of gold bars in the Year of the Sheep doubled.


    The gold speculation in Beijing began at the end of 2002 when Caibai Company sold the "Year of the Sheep and New Year’s Gold Bars". At that time, gold bars returned to the retail market in Beijing, igniting the enthusiasm of the people to hide gold. So some consumers have become enthusiastic followers of "New Year’s gold bars".


    Since 2002, Mr. Sun has purchased a set of gold bars for Lunar New Year. "I didn’t think much when I bought it at that time, because someone in the family was a sheep, I wanted to keep a set as a souvenir. However, with more and more people talking about gold products around me, I realized that gold was a good investment tool. Because Caibai Company provides a repurchase channel, it is more convenient to cash in the shopping mall in case of urgent need of cash. Therefore, I will collect one set every year in the future. Today, the gold bars bought at 92 yuan per gram have been worth about one gram of 200 yuan, which has doubled, and those bought in other years have also appreciated. "


    ● Respondent: Mr. Li


    -Gold speculation record: three-month return rate of 18.8%


    Now, it is also a welcome investment channel for individuals to invest in physical gold through banks. At present, the physical gold business in the banking system mainly includes "Gao Saier Gold Bar" represented by China Merchants Bank and Agricultural Bank, "Long Dingjin" represented by China Construction Bank, "Ruyi Gold" represented by Industrial and Commercial Bank and gold from other commercial banks. Some of these gold products belong to the bank’s agency business, and some belong to the bank’s own brand. At present, only "Gaosaier Gold Bar" can provide repurchase service.


    Mr. Li saw that this year’s fund market has passed the good day of "rising every day", while precious metals have been rising all the way, so he invested in Gaosaier gold bars. In mid-August this year, he subscribed for 2 ounces of Gao Saier gold bars at the Zhongguancun branch of the Agricultural Bank of China. At that time, the subscription price was 172 yuan per gram. At this price, he spent a total of 10664 yuan. Yesterday, Gao Saier’s quotation was 204.30 yuan/gram. In this way, his Gao Saier gold bar appreciated by about 2,000 yuan in just three months, and the return on investment was 18.8%.


    Gold speculation to eliminate illiteracy


    Different gold products have different investment channels.


    ● Gaosaier Gold Bar:

    Tips for speculating in gold


    "Paper gold" also has investment value


    "Paper gold" refers to the book-entry gold trading launched by banks, which also needs to be paid in full, and there is no physical delivery, so it can only be bullish. The trading records of "paper gold" investors are only reflected in the "gold passbook account" opened by individuals in advance, and there is no need to withdraw physical gold, thus eliminating the steps of transportation, storage, inspection and appraisal of gold, and the difference between the buying price and the selling price is smaller than the difference between the buying and selling prices of real gold.


    The reporter learned that "paper gold" can be purchased at all outlets of China Bank and some outlets of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. For the "Huang Jinbao" business of Bank of China, a Mr. Liu expressed great interest. He told reporters that from the beginning of the year to now, his income from purchasing paper gold has exceeded 30%. Moreover, paper gold generally implements T+0, which means that it can be bought and sold on the same day, and it can be traded on the Internet even in the middle of the night, which is very convenient.


    It is reported that ICBC and Industrial Bank have some different paper gold products.


    Prospect of gold speculation


    Individuals are expected to invest in gold futures.


    Experts suggest that if you want to invest in gold, you must choose the right variety according to your own reality and pay attention to avoiding risks. Medium and long-term investors can choose paper gold and physical gold from banks, but don’t hoard a lot of gold ornaments, because gold ornaments are difficult to realize and easy to wear and depreciate; Short-term investors should pay attention to the possible fall after the gold price rises, and pay attention to the influencing factors such as oil price trend, dollar rise and fall, political situation and so on. As a rational investor, it is necessary to reserve the basic knowledge of gold investment and be familiar with the overall situation of international politics and economy. At the same time, abandon speculative psychology.


    Zhang Shounan, president of China Gold Newspaper and director of Beijing Gold Economic Development Research Center, revealed that personal investment in gold futures may be officially opened in the near future, and gold futures can play its role of "capital leverage" to reduce capital investment for investors and improve the return on investment. In addition, gold futures can be both long and short, and investors have the opportunity to make two-way choices, which can bring returns to investors when the market is bullish and bearish. Gold futures should be the most suitable futures for people to invest. (Fan Haitao)

Hu Mei’s new work "Into the Capital" was released in Olivia, Ma Yili.


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.


Good news! Norovirus tetravalent vaccine developed in China has officially entered clinical research.

  Shanghai, June 4th (Reporter Jiang Hongbing) The tetravalent recombinant norovirus vaccine developed by Shanghai Pasteur Institute of China Academy of Sciences has been approved by National Medical Products Administration recently, and has officially entered clinical research as a national class I preventive biological product.

  Norovirus is the number one pathogen of acute viral gastroenteritis. How to develop a vaccine with broad protection has been an international problem for decades. Huang Zhong, a researcher from Shanghai Pasteur Institute, led the research team to construct a multivalent recombinant Norovirus vaccine prototype based on virus-like particles (VLP) by using genetic engineering technology. In April 2015, the Institute signed a cooperation agreement with Zhifei Bio to jointly develop a multivalent norovirus vaccine. The two sides worked together to tackle key problems, and it took four years to complete the pre-clinical research and development and clinical trial application of tetravalent recombinant norovirus vaccine (Pichia pastoris), and now it has been approved to carry out clinical trials. The vaccine contains recombinant virus-like particle antigens of four major Norovirus epidemic genotypes, which can theoretically prevent 80%— 90% norovirus infection and acute gastroenteritis caused by norovirus are the multivalent norovirus vaccine with the second highest clinical license price in the world.

Five elements of healthy hotpot

  I don’t know when hot pot was labeled as "harmful to health". In fact, compared with traditional ordering, eating hot pot is more flexible and convenient in the selection and collocation of ingredients. As long as you pay attention to the following points, you can give consideration to health and delicious food.

  The bottom material is less salt and less oil. Eating hot pot, clear soup pot bottom with less salt and oil or mushroom soup pot bottom is the first choice. If they don’t taste good enough, you can also choose the bottom of the pot boiled with tomatoes or ketchup. If you like the bottom of the pot with spicy taste, it is recommended to skim off the Chili oil as much as possible before cooking the ingredients. If you still feel too greasy, you can prepare a small bowl of boiled water, dip the fished ingredients in water and eat them. People who love spicy food can also add appropriate peppers to their own small saucers.

  The ingredients are balanced. Eating hot pot is easy to diversify the ingredients, and most of the ingredients can be eaten by rinsing, such as green leafy vegetables, mushrooms, bean products, fish and shrimp, red meat, potatoes and so on. In addition, we should also pay attention to the balanced collocation between various ingredients. To eat one serving of meat, we need at least two servings of vegetables to match it, and it is best to eat vegetables while eating meat. It should be reminded that visceral foods such as pig brain are very delicious, but the cholesterol is much higher than that of normal red meat (lean pork contains 81 mg of cholesterol per 100 grams, lean beef is 58 mg, and pig liver, cow brain and pig brain are 288 mg, 2447 mg and 2571 mg respectively), so the frequency and amount of eating must be as little as possible, especially for people with hyperlipidemia.

  Dip in spices. Whether it is sesame sauce leek flower material or sesame oil garlic juice material, the fat content is very considerable. And most dip materials have high salt content, and there are various freshness-enhancing umami agents. After a hot pot, eat two small bowls of dip, and it is likely that the oil and salt are far beyond the standard. To rinse hot pot, you can use spice ingredients such as millet pepper, ginger, coriander, lime, garlic and other traditional dipping materials, which can not only reduce the intake of oil and salt, but also ensure that the dipping materials are tasty enough.

  Drinks are low in sugar at room temperature. Eating hot pot is easy to eat and eat more, so don’t make sugary drinks "worse". Try to choose boiled water for drinks, or you can choose sugar-free or low-sugar lemonade, light tea, soybean milk and so on. In addition, many people think it will be more refreshing to drink a large glass of iced drink while eating hot pot. But such a cold and a hot will strongly stimulate the stomach, and even lead to stomach cramps or stomachaches. Therefore, eat hot pot and drink less iced drinks, and choose some warm herbal tea or vegetable protein drinks.

  Rinse potatoes first. When you start to rinse the pot, after skimming the floating oil at the bottom of the pot, rinse potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes and other potatoes that can be used as vegetables and staple foods to protect the gastrointestinal tract; Eating vegetables early can increase satiety in advance, otherwise, not only the satiety is not strong, but also the intake of too much oil and purine. If it is a mandarin duck pot, try to rinse the vegetables on the side of the broth to avoid excessive oil intake. In addition, the delicious hot pot soup after rinsing is the favorite of many people. As everyone knows, a lot of purine has been dissolved in this soup, and drinking too much may cause gout. There are also seafood, sauerkraut pot bottom, nitrite content is not low, which is harmful to health. Therefore, it is best not to drink hot pot soup cooked for a long time. ▲

Cats in History-Cats in Ancient Egyptian, Jewish and Medieval Manuscripts

        "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.

A manuscript of the Comfort of Philosophy by Boethius bitten by a mouse Corpus Christi College Cambridge, MS 214, Fol. 122r.        

        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)

Hildebert and the cat and mouse, Prague, capitular library, codex a 21/1, fol.153r.      

        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.
