Global News: Expectation of interest rate cut frustrated again. US stocks fell for two consecutive days. Samsung started the first shot of mobile AI this year.

  On Wednesday (January 17), Eastern Time, the market’s expectation of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut earlier this year was hit again, and the United States suffered a "double whammy" for the second consecutive day. The three major US stock indexes collectively closed down, and the Dow fell for three consecutive days.

  At the close, the Dow fell 94.45 points, or 0.25%, to 37,266.67 points. The Nasdaq fell 88.73 points, or 0.59%, to 14,855.62 points. The S&P 500 fell 26.77 points, or 0.56%, to 4,739.21 points.

  Overnight, the United States released the retail sales data known as "terror data". In December, retail sales in the United States rose by 0.6% month-on-month, the largest increase in three months, exceeding expectations, indicating that consumer spending is still strong, which further doubts whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates drastically.

  After the data was released, the yield of 10-year US bonds continued to rise, rising by nearly 4 basis points to 4.102%, and finally closed at 4.105%, hitting a one-month high. The yield of two-year US bonds, which is more sensitive to the Fed’s policy interest rate, returned above 4.3% to close at 4.360%. This undoubtedly depressed the market’s risk appetite.

  According to the CME Fed observation tool, the current market expects that the possibility of the Fed starting to cut interest rates in March is about 57%, and it was still above 60% the day before.

  In terms of important news, Boeing passed the bad news again.

Double 11, the longest in history, brought the platform "full growth" battle report: "brand turnover" replaced the overall GMV.

On November 11, 2024, an anchor in Haitou Town, Ganyu District, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province used a mobile phone to sell lobsters live. Vision china diagram

The 16th "double 11" shopping festival came to an end.

Double 11, which can’t be shaken every year, seems increasingly deserted in the atmosphere of public opinion. Perhaps because of the tiredness of the outside world for the shopping festival, e-commerce platforms chose to rush to run collectively. This year is also known as the longest "double 11" in history: since October 8, in less than a week, platforms including Pinduoduo, Tik Tok, Taobao Tmall and JD.COM have successively announced the launch of the "double 11" promotion, with a time span of one month.

Controversy still exists: It is rumored that Ralph Lauren, a clothing brand, has become a "collection artifact" of Taobao double 11, which is specially used to deal with the full or reduced rules of the platform, and the return rate in double 11 is as high as 96%. However, relevant rumors were denied by the platform.

It is worth noting that the implementation of the "trade-in" subsidy policy has led to a significant increase in household appliance consumption. According to the star map data, as of October 30th, the total sales of double 11 in 2024 reached 845 billion yuan. Among them, household appliances ranked first with sales of 132.4 billion yuan, accounting for 15.7% of the market. Mobile phone digital and clothing categories accounted for 14.2% and 14.0% of the market share with sales of 120.1 billion yuan and 118.4 billion yuan respectively.

The extended promotion cycle has certainly brought a more beautiful "report card", but what is the difference between this "report card" and previous years? What are the factors driving growth?

E-commerce Battle Report: Highlighting Brand Turnover

Judging from the battle reports disclosed by various platforms, double 11 still has rapid growth this year.

This year is another year of "stealth" in e-commerce transaction volume. JD.COM and Tmall, two traditional e-commerce platforms, have only published growth data such as order volume, user scale, brand and merchant turnover, and there is no more carnival after zero in previous years. Moreover, both companies have replaced the growth rate of "GMV" with the specific growth rate of "brand turnover".

At 24: 00 on November 11th, Tmall double 11 closed in 2024: the total turnover increased strongly, and the number of buyers reached a new high. In the whole cycle of Tmall double 11, the turnover of 589 brands exceeded 100 million, up 46.5% year-on-year, setting a new record.

The number of shopping users in JD.COM increased by over 20% year-on-year, and the order volume of live broadcast in JD.COM increased by 3.8 times year-on-year. The turnover of over 17,000 brands increased by over 5 times year-on-year, and the turnover of over 30,000 small and medium-sized businesses increased by over 2 times year-on-year.

If we look at the double 11 Battle Report of the two platforms in 2023: In 2023, Taotian Group said that "the order volume and total turnover increased in an all-round way"; In 2023, JD.COM said that "the turnover, the order volume and the number of users reached a new high".

Insiders from Taobao and JD.COM revealed to reporters that the overall transaction volume of the platform side has increased year-on-year, but the growth rate is relatively flat. From the perspective of the incremental source of the platform, the trade-in policy and the recovery of live e-commerce have greatly boosted the transaction volume.

Emerging e-commerce companies such as Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker are sharing the traffic of traditional e-commerce. Like e-commerce platforms, the turnover of "flagship" brands has increased this year.

According to the disclosure of Tik Tok e-commerce, from October 8th to November 11th, the turnover of over 33,000 brands doubled year-on-year, the turnover of nearly 17,000 brands increased by over 500%, the turnover of over 2,000 single products exceeded 10 million yuan, and a total of 275 brands realized the turnover of over 100 million yuan through live broadcast. As of October 20th, the GMV of Tik Tok Mall increased by 91% year-on-year.

According to the analysis of Guohai Securities Research Report, with the overweight of the national "trade-in" and other stimulus policies and the increase of subsidies for various e-commerce platforms, the vitality of the consumer market is expected to recover, and the follow-up performance of traditional e-commerce platforms and live e-commerce platforms will pick up.

"Government coupons also play a very positive role in promoting online consumption." Cui Lili, a chair professor in the Department of Digital Economy of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, told The Paper that the performance of e-commerce platforms superimposed with local government subsidies is more outstanding, especially the sales of high-value products such as 3C categories and computers are better.

Super anchor returns to double 11.

In September this year, the three sheep companies, where the "Crazy Xiao Yang Ge" with over 100 million fans was located, were punished for the existence of false propaganda in live broadcast, which triggered a shock in the live broadcast industry.

However, judging from the record performance, the head live broadcast room has a good battle situation in double 11 this year.

The data shows that the purchase amount of "double 11" in Li Jiaqi live room increased by more than 20% year-on-year; On the night of the spot sale of Tmall double 11, the turnover of the live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi exceeded 100 million yuan within 5 minutes.

During his stay in double 11, the turnover of Luo Yonghao’s "Make a Friend" exceeded 6.4 billion yuan, up 158% year-on-year, and the cumulative order volume exceeded 7.14 million, a record high.

"Simba" in online celebrity, Aauto Quicker, who once started a public opinion war with Xiao Yang Ge, also achieved good results. According to Xin Xuan’s disclosure, more than 200 live broadcasts were arranged from October 13th to November 11th, with a total sales volume of more than 68 million, and the total GMV increased by 61.9% compared with last year. Among them, there are 16 games with sales exceeding 100 million and 47 games with sales exceeding 10 million.

However, the previous industry chaos made the live broadcast industry enter an adjustment period. "The platform no longer supports the head anchor blindly, but began to pay attention to supporting the waist anchor and the tail anchor, and began to explore new marketing channels, scenarios and methods." Zhai Wei, executive director of the Competition Law Research Center of East China University of Political Science and Law, told the reporter.

"Big anchors should completely abandon illegal means such as creating false people, making gimmicks, and manipulating fans’ emotions." Zhai Wei said, "The live broadcast industry still has demand and prospects, and it also has strong resilience for sustainable development. In the context of peak traffic, the competition in the live broadcast industry will gradually transform into qualitative competition, and the industry will enter a new stage of development from the grassy era. "

The platform moves from competition to cooperation

Another highlight of double 11 this year is that the major e-commerce platforms have changed from "smoke filled" to "shaking hands and making peace".

On September 4th, Taobao announced its full support for WeChat payment. Wechat Payment responded that it has successively cooperated with UnionPay China Unionpay Quick Pass, JD.com Payment, payment platforms of the three major operators, and digital RMB, and will continue to explore in the future to continue to provide convenience for users on the basis of ensuring transaction security.

On October 16th, the old rivals JD.COM and Taobao also announced the news of cooperation: Jingdong Logistics will fully access the Taobao Tmall platform, and the third-party platform in JD.COM will also access the rookie; At the same time, shopping on JD.COM can be paid by Alipay, and connecting Jingdong Payment to Taobao Tmall is also being promoted.

This also means that it is the general trend for the platform to accelerate the demolition of the wall and move towards win-win cooperation.

However, according to the test in The Paper, there are still many things to be improved. At present, some products in Taobao already support WeChat payment. Click "More Payment Methods" to expand and choose. Some products don’t have the "WeChat payment" option. Taobao service replied that WeChat payment is still in trial and has not been fully opened yet. Please refer to the payment page if the order can be used.

The reporter tested a number of commodities in JD.COM, but Alipay payment is still in the gray-scale testing stage.

In October this year, referring to the effect of interconnection, Jia Luo, president of Tmall of Taotian Group, told The Paper that it has been observed that the frequency of use and the scale of users in young user groups and sinking market are growing rapidly. "It is expected that double 11 this year should be the largest number of people who participated in double 11 in history."

In the eyes of the industry, the peak of e-commerce traffic and the entry into stock competition are important reasons for the platform to hold hands. Ali, JD.COM and other traditional e-commerce companies are facing fierce challenges from Pinduoduo and Tik Tok e-commerce. The reporter learned from insiders in Tik Tok that after the establishment of Tik Tok Platform for more than two years, the transaction volume of platform commodities exceeded one trillion yuan.

"It is obvious that each sticks to the city and does not adapt to the consumer market under the current situation. The big manufacturers are already in the competition stage of the stock market, and each has its own needs for new growth and profitability." Zhuang Shuai, an e-commerce analyst and founder of Bailian Consulting, told the The Paper reporter, "Under the background that the overall growth of e-commerce has entered the stock, it is the correct idea for each platform to make use of each other’s advantages and strengths to complement each other. How can everyone give full play to their respective advantages and jointly serve consumers? This is the most important thing. Interconnection objectively improves the convenience of double 11 consumers’ shopping, and also encourages consumers’ enthusiasm for shopping in double 11. "

Development and Reform Commission: Prices are expected to remain stable and multi-pronged to stabilize and expand employment.

Development and Reform Commission: Prices are expected to remain stable and multi-pronged to stabilize and expand employment.

On September 18th, the National Development and Reform Commission held a press conference to release the macroeconomic operation and answer questions from reporters. Meng Wei, deputy director and spokesperson of the Policy Research Office of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the measures to ensure supply and stabilize prices have been effectively implemented and have produced certain positive results.

Prices are expected to remain stable.

From January to August, the consumer price index (CPI) rose by an average of 2.4% year-on-year, and rose by 2.8% year-on-year in August, which was the same as last month. The PPI of industrial producers rose by 0.1% compared with the same period of last year, and fell by 0.8% in August. Meng Wei said that since the beginning of this year, China’s prices have been operating in a reasonable range. Looking further, the structural characteristics of rising prices are obvious. Affected by African swine fever epidemic and other factors, pork prices rose significantly, driving food prices to increase significantly. However, judging from the core CPI excluding food and energy prices, it rose by 1.5% year-on-year in August and rose by 1.7% on average from January to August.

"Maintaining the basic stability of prices, especially the prices of important people’s livelihood commodities, is related to the basic livelihood of the people, especially the people in need. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to this." Meng Wei said that since the beginning of this year, the National Development and Reform Commission has conscientiously implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and issued a series of policies and measures with relevant departments to ensure market supply and promote basic price stability. For example, take the lead in formulating plans and measures to ensure supply and price stability, vigorously support the construction of pig breeding capacity, enhance the ability of reserve regulation, and earnestly ensure the basic living security of people in need. At present, some measures have been effectively implemented and have produced positive results.

According to reports, from the recent monitoring situation, pork prices tend to be stable. From September 11 to September 17, the average daily retail price of pork in 36 large and medium-sized cities increased by 0.28%, which was significantly narrower than that in August. On September 17th, the average prices of fruits and vegetables dropped by 3.2% and 2.2% respectively compared with the end of August.

Meng Wei said that from the analysis of price trends, prices are expected to continue to operate smoothly during the National Day. The National Development and Reform Commission, together with relevant departments, will continue to closely monitor the market price changes of important commodities for people’s livelihood, and take corresponding control measures in a timely manner as needed to keep prices basically stable.

Multi-pronged approach to stabilize and expand employment

Stable employment is the first of the "six stabilities". Meng Wei said that from the current situation, China’s employment situation is generally stable.

First, new jobs have grown steadily. From January to August, 9.84 million new jobs were created in cities and towns across the country, which has achieved 89.5% of the annual target; In August, the national urban survey unemployment rate was 5.2%, down 0.1 percentage point from July, and both July and August were below the control target of 5.5%.

Second, the market supply and demand are basically balanced. The recruitment ratio of human resources market in 11 provinces and cities such as Guangdong is still higher than 1, and the job demand is greater than the number of job seekers.

Third, the employment of key groups is generally stable. As of July 1, the employment rate of college graduates in 2019 was 68.3%, which was basically the same as the same period last year; At the end of the second quarter, the total number of migrant workers in rural areas reached 180 million, an increase of 2.26 million over the same period last year; By the end of July, 10.96 million poor laborers had been employed, an increase of 1.08 million over the end of last year.

Meng Wei said that at present, China’s economic operation is still in a reasonable range, the service industry with large employment capacity has developed rapidly, and the role of innovation and entrepreneurship has been continuously enhanced; At the same time, China has formed a relatively complete employment and entrepreneurship policy and service system, which have provided strong support for achieving higher quality and full employment.

Since the beginning of this year, the State Council and relevant departments have successively introduced and implemented a number of policies and measures to stabilize employment, such as reducing taxes and fees, helping enterprises to stabilize their posts, vocational training, and expanding enrollment in higher vocational colleges, and the effects have gradually emerged. Meng Wei said that in the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will continue to regard stable employment as the lower limit of macroeconomic regulation and control and the top of the "six stabilities", conscientiously implement the employment priority strategy with relevant departments, adhere to focusing on key points and making precise policies, and further improve the response measures while doing a good job in implementing the established policies, and stabilize and expand employment in a multi-pronged manner.

Infrastructure investment accelerated.

The data shows that from January to August, the national infrastructure investment increased by 4.2% year-on-year, 0.4 percentage points faster than that from January to July. In August, the National Development and Reform Commission approved 9 fixed assets investment projects with a total investment of 68.9 billion yuan.

The 2019 "Government Work Report" proposed that the target task of "completing railway investment of 800 billion yuan" should be achieved this year. In response to the statement that "the absolute amount of railway investment has slowed down in the past two months", Meng Wei said that since the beginning of this year, the completion of railway investment has been generally stable. From January to August, China’s railway investment in fixed assets reached 449.6 billion yuan, basically equivalent to the same period last year.

In order to complete this year’s railway investment task and lay a good foundation for subsequent construction, the National Development and Reform Commission will further intensify its work with relevant departments, China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd. and relevant places, focusing on "three batches", that is, "one batch under construction, one batch under construction and one batch under reserve".

We will steadily build a number of major projects. Railway construction projects are still short-term in the central and western regions of China. It is necessary to focus on the central and western regions, continue to promote the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" main passages of high-speed railways, improve the layout of trunk road networks, and urge the project funds to be in place in time and in full.

Promote the start of a number of major projects. Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission approved a number of railway projects. Among them, the feasibility study report of Chongqing-Kunming high-speed railway was recently approved, with a total investment of 141.6 billion yuan, which is the largest railway project approved by the National Development and Reform Commission since the 13th Five-Year Plan. In addition, there are still several backbone channel projects that are actively carrying out preliminary work, and will be approved item by item once conditions are met.

Plan and reserve a number of major projects. In order to give full play to the basic supporting role of railways in the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and other major strategies, the National Development and Reform Commission and relevant parties are speeding up the preparation of relevant special transportation plans in combination with the preliminary research of the Tenth Five-Year Plan. The next step will be to incorporate the research of major projects with accurate and influential views into the plan, strengthen the project reserve, and form a good situation of combining far and near and connecting in steps.

"In short, we will work with relevant parties to focus on accurate investment and effective investment and give full play to the positive role of investment in promoting economic and social development." Meng Wei said. (Economic Daily-China Economic Net reporter Xiong Li)

A spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce answered a reporter’s question on the recent US economic and trade sanctions against China.

A reporter asked: The United States recently identified eight China science and technology companies as "military-related enterprises in China" and listed many institutions and companies in the "entity list". At the same time, the United States will pass a Xinjiang-related bill to ban the import of China’s Xinjiang-related products. What is China’s reaction to this?

A: Under the banner of so-called "human rights", the U.S. side generalized national security, fabricated reasons out of thin air without any factual basis, used state power, and repeatedly abused export control, investment restrictions, and banned imports of Xinjiang-related products, so as to continuously suppress relevant entities in China and set restrictions on normal economic and trade cooperation between enterprises of the two countries. China strongly protests and resolutely opposes this bullying practice of the US.

These political manipulations by the United States undermine market principles, violate WTO rules and economic laws, harm the legitimate rights and interests of China enterprises, and also harm the interests of American enterprises and investors, which is not conducive to the stability of the global industrial chain supply chain and the recovery of the world economy. The United States also imposed sanctions on medical research institutions in China, ignoring the scientific spirit, violating humanitarian principles and the common values of all mankind.

The United States should immediately stop its wrong practices, immediately stop interfering with the normal economic and trade cooperation between Chinese and American enterprises, immediately stop infringing on the right to subsistence and development of people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, and return to the correct track of win-win cooperation. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and the legitimate rights and interests of China enterprises.

The country’s highest direct drop was 10,400 yuan, and Ford Sharp’s new car sold well recently.

Many consumers think that the cost of buying a car plus the cost of maintaining a car every year is really a lot of money, but now taxi software is so popular that it is convenient and cheap to take a car, and it is not practical to buy a car. However, in bad weather such as cold or hot, carrying a heavy shopping bag or dragging a huge suitcase, or when the driver is in an emergency, he will feel the pain of waiting. Although cars are consumables, and even the rate of preservation is not high, there is no denying that owning a car of your own can really bring great convenience to life, such as going to go on road trip.

Today, we will take a look at this new car of Ford Sharp. In terms of its exterior design, rough interior, high and low performance, etc., I think all the small owners have dived into major forums and dug countless evaluation videos, so there is no need to go into details in small series. Now, our focus is on the transaction price, discount, sales volume, value preservation and other aspects of Sharp, helping the small owners who are basically targeting and waiting for the opportunity to start to judge whether Ford Sharp is worth winning more comprehensively.

This site collected the real transaction price of Ford Sharp in the past year. The lowest transaction price in the country in the past month was 219,400 yuan, the highest cash discount for new cars was 10,400 yuan, and the maximum discount for new cars reached 9.55 fold! The price is for reference only, and the actual transaction price is subject to the local dealer.

Choose a car to buy a car? The difficulty of choosing a good car is almost catching up with the college entrance examination to fill in the volunteers! But in fact, it is not difficult to choose a car. It really depends on the sales volume. What everyone likes can’t be worse. Ford Sharp sold 1,376 vehicles in the past month, and we can see the recognition of new cars in the market from the sales trend chart below.

After the repeated adjustment of import tariffs, major manufacturers have released the price adjustment range of their models, which has also stabilized the market of used car market. However, the rate of preservation of cities at all levels has decreased from the previous month, so the rate of preservation must not be ignored when buying a car. After entering June this year, although the trading volume of used cars has gradually picked up, the price of used cars is hard to rise. For consumers, it is also a good opportunity to buy used cars! The chart below shows the hedge ratio of Ford Sharp. Is it within your acceptable range?

When we buy a car, we will pay attention to all aspects of this model in advance, especially the posts and word-of-mouth posted by car owners in major forums and vertical websites. Apart from the navy, there are still some car owners’ real car experience that is worth learning. Let’s take a look at Ford Sharp’s word-of-mouth score. The comprehensive score of Ford Sharp is 4.61, and the result is not bad, so Ford Sharp can consider it.

If you have seen the above, you still have doubts about whether Ford Sharp is worth buying, then you can also look at the performance of competing products in Ford Sharp. Among the following competing products, Tiguan L sold the most last month, with 10,889 vehicles, so there is always one for you.

If the price of the sharp world is right in the near future, then the friends will hurry! Linkage promotion in many places across the country, and there are even more discount models as low as 30%.

Sinking resources, carefully guarding-knowledge of epidemic prevention and control at grass-roots level during the Spring Festival

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 24thTitle: Sinking resources are carefully guarded — — Prevention and control of grass-roots epidemic situation during the Spring Festival

  Xinhua news agency reporter

  The Spring Festival of the Year of the Rabbit is the first long holiday when China’s epidemic prevention and control has entered a new stage. The reporter learned from interviews at the grassroots level in many places that all localities coordinated the dispatch of urban and rural medical resources and weaved a "protective net" at the grassroots level. The majority of medical workers and epidemic prevention personnel adhered to the front line and devoted themselves to the safety and health of the people for the New Year.

  Consolidate various prevention and control measures

  Implement epidemic prevention measures in key places, establish management accounts, and continuously publicize epidemic prevention knowledge … … In order to let the people live a safe and healthy Spring Festival, many places have taken a series of powerful actions.

  During the Spring Festival, the Qingming Shangheyuan in Kaifeng, Henan Province launched the 2023 Kaifeng Folk Carnival, with hundreds of performances and hundreds of folk customs to celebrate the Spring Festival, attracting many tourists.

  Xing Xiaoyue, a staff member of Shangheyuan Scenic Area in Qingming Festival, said that the park strictly implements the requirements of "limiting, making an appointment and shifting peaks", completes the work of eliminating and killing public facilities, and arranges special personnel to patrol. "In terms of personal protection, wearing masks in public places has become a habit, and everyone consciously becomes the first responsible person for their own health."

  In view of the many cultural activities and dense personnel in various places during the Spring Festival, various places have implemented epidemic prevention work in key places by setting up special epidemic prevention classes, broadcasting reminders and regular disinfection. Zhang Mingzhi, director of Gaozhou Xiantaimiao Management Office in Maoming City, Guangdong Province, said that during the Spring Festival, the daily flow of people in the scenic spot was about 20,000 to 30,000, including many returnees and rural people. "The staff should disinfect the internal and external environment, and there is a warm reminder card for wearing a mask at the entrance."

  Xihua County, Henan Province, made great efforts to find out the base number of key populations, established a dynamic management account for 125,000 elderly people over 60 years old, 4,408 left-behind children, 2,048 pregnant women, 24,019 disabled people, 2,230 elderly people living alone and 162,000 migrant workers, and established a transfer and treatment mechanism for infected people to ensure that they should be cured.

  Wushan County, Chongqing has set up 42 fever clinics (consultation rooms) according to the principle of "all facilities should be set up and all services should be opened", and mobile diagnosis and treatment vehicles (mobile fever clinics) and fever diagnosis and treatment stations have been opened in urban areas to facilitate residents to seek medical treatment during the Spring Festival.

  Pass forward to the community

  In Dayu Village, Zhenjiang Town, Gaozhou City, Guangdong Province, Deng Bobo, a 90-year-old villager who had been infected with Covid-19, was discharged before the Spring Festival and returned home with his family. The old man feels gratified to have a reunion year with his children. Son Deng Lianjin said that the hospital has prepared medicines for the elderly to recover at home, and the nearby Shigu Town Central Health Center is only 10 minutes’ drive from home. My father’s recovery is guaranteed, and the whole family has lived with peace of mind this year.

  The reporter learned from the interview that before the Spring Festival, the guidance on primary treatment was strengthened by means of on-site diagnosis and treatment, remote consultation, etc., and emergency equipment and medicines were prepared at the same time to move forward the barrier of health protection and prevention of severe illness.

  In Xiaowang Village, Tiankou Township, Xihua County, Henan Province, the reporter saw that the village health center has two floors, one is the diagnosis and treatment area, and the other is the living area. The first floor diagnosis and treatment area, seven rooms, such as diagnosis and treatment room, propaganda classroom and observation room, were cleaned neatly, the remote diagnosis and treatment system waited for the call online in real time, and the commonly used drugs for reducing fever and relieving cough in the pharmacy were well prepared.

  Chongqing clearly requires coordination in the prevention and control of epidemic situation in urban and rural communities. Adhere to the "moving forward" and strengthen care services for key groups such as "one old and one small" and "one trapped and one disabled".

  A team of family doctors and village doctors in Wushan County, Chongqing, went to the door to check and evaluate the health of key personnel before, and made a closer observation of relatively serious personnel. Zhang Liao, director of guandu town Central Health Center in Wushan County, said: "During the Spring Festival, more than half of our medical staff were on duty, and the hospital always kept an emergency team, and the fever clinic was waiting for 24 hours."

  In Anping County, Hengshui City, Hebei Province, in order to meet the needs of residents for medical treatment and provide timely health consultation and medication guidance, the health and health departments set up 245 family patrol teams, covering all 230 administrative villages and 15 communities in the county. The members of the team are composed of township or community cadres, village or community cadres, and grassroots medical staff to carry out home follow-up services.

  Rural clinics and health centers "don’t close"

  "This year’s Spring Festival obviously feels popular and lively." Tian Quanbin and Sheng Airong, doctors from Xiaowang Village, Tiankou Township, Xihua County, Henan Province, said, "There are more people coming back from holidays, wearing masks, washing hands frequently, gathering less and ventilating more. Most villagers are familiar with these epidemic prevention knowledge. I hope everyone can protect themselves and spend a healthy year. "

  Tian Quanbin and Sheng Airong have lived and worked here for 27 years. This rural health clinic guards the health of more than 2,800 villagers. Before the Spring Festival, the clinic and the village committee have arranged the situation of the key people in the village.

  The reporter visited and learned that many village clinics and township center hospitals "don’t fight" during the Spring Festival holiday. They publicized epidemic prevention knowledge to the villagers through WeChat groups and loudspeakers, and at the same time went to the village to send medicines to doctors.

  "There are medicines for relieving fever and pain, relieving cough and asthma, as well as some masks and antigen detection reagents. If you feel unwell, you must contact the hospital in time." Yan Daxin, a doctor from guandu town Central Health Center in Wushan County, Chongqing, came to the home of Yan Xianjun, a villager in Yanglin Village before the festival, and sent the 75-year-old man a "health package" of epidemic prevention love. Then he carefully measured his blood pressure, blood sugar and blood oxygen. It is understood that Wushan County, Chongqing has given free "health packages" to the elderly over 60 years old in batches, and distributed more than 100,000 "health packages" by relying on community grid workers and village cadres.

  Follow Li Yongan, Dean of Tiankou Township Health Center, into the pharmacy, where the commonly used antipyretic and cough medicine has been reserved for three weeks. "More than ten days before the Spring Festival, the number of fever clinics has dropped to two or three people a day." Li Yongan said that during the Spring Festival, they should be on duty in hospitals, and strengthen communication with 30 village doctors in 17 village clinics under their jurisdiction. After discovering cases, they can seek medical treatment in time according to individual conditions, and if necessary, they can contact city and county hospitals to organize remote consultation, or refer them according to the graded diagnosis and treatment mechanism.

  "Village clinics and township health centers are the first pass for epidemic prevention in rural areas. By integrating medical resources in counties, townships and villages in advance, they will play a linkage role and build a solid epidemic prevention barrier for rural areas." Li Yongan said.

Scientific guide to propaganda and ideological and cultural work in the new era and process

    The national conference on propaganda and ideological and cultural work was held in Beijing. The most important achievement of this conference was to formally put forward and systematically expound the cultural thought of the supreme leader, emphasizing "continuously strengthening the study, research and interpretation of the cultural thought of the supreme leader, and consciously implementing it in all aspects and the whole process of propaganda and ideological and cultural work". The cultural thought of the Supreme Leader is the cultural chapter of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, which provides a powerful ideological weapon and scientific action guide for doing a good job in propaganda and cultural work in the new era and new journey and shouldering a new cultural mission.

  1. Deeply understand the great significance of the supreme leader’s cultural thought.

    To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must have theoretical thinking for a moment; Building a socialist modern country in an all-round way is inseparable from the guidance of scientific theory for a moment. In the field of cultural construction, it is necessary to lead by pluralism and neutrality, seek consensus in diversity, set the direction in change, establish the heart for the country and the soul for the nation, and it is even more inseparable from the shining of truth. In-depth study and implementation of the supreme leader’s cultural thought is of great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance for doing a good job in propaganda and ideological and cultural work in the new era and new journey, for building a strong country, for national rejuvenation, for raising the flag, and for long-term stability.

    This means that Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era of enriching and developing the supreme leader has made new landmark achievements. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has put forward a series of new ideas, new ideas and new strategies in the aspects of reform, development and stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, and governing the party, country and army, scientifically answering the questions of China, the world, the people and the times, and creating and constantly enriching and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era. The "Ten Definitions", "Fourteen Persistences" and "Thirteen Achievements" put forward by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee summarized the main contents of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward "six musts", which outlined the world outlook, methodology and standpoint and method of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the supreme leader in the new era. The supreme leader’s thought of strengthening the army, economic thought, ecological civilization thought, diplomatic thought and rule of law thought formed in various fields have made its scientific theoretical system increasingly extensive and profound. The supreme leader’s cultural thought not only has the innovation and breakthrough in cultural theory, but also has the deployment requirements of cultural work layout, which indicates that our party’s understanding of the law of cultural construction in Socialism with Chinese characteristics has reached a new height, indicating that our party’s historical self-confidence and cultural self-confidence have reached a new height.It marks that the new ideas, new viewpoints and new conclusions of our party in the field of propaganda and ideological and cultural work in the new era have achieved a systematic leap and creative sublimation, making the theoretical system of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s ideological science of the supreme leader in the new era more systematic, comprehensive, logical, rich in connotation and internally unified.

    This means that the party leadership’s propaganda and ideological and cultural work condenses the new essence of the times. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has placed propaganda and ideological and cultural work in an important position in governing the country, attended a series of important meetings, delivered a series of important speeches, and made a series of important instructions. He has made overall planning, classified guidance, deployment and promotion in various fields such as online information, literature and art, journalism, philosophy and social sciences, ideological and political education, and cultural inheritance and development, and guided the propaganda and ideological and cultural undertakings to achieve historic achievements and make historic changes in raising the flag and clearing the roots. In this process, the leadership, management, discourse, cultural self-confidence, new cultural mission and "two combinations" of ideological work have been put forward one after another and constantly improved. This series of theoretical creations has strung together the ideological development track from the original breakthrough of one thought point to the original breakthrough of many thought points, and then to the overall improvement of the ideological and theoretical system. It can be seen that the cultural thought of the supreme leader is the inevitable result of the continuous accumulation and sublimation of our party’s new ideas, new ideas and new judgments on cultural construction in the new era. This important thought fully reflects the fact that the theoretical achievements of cultural construction in the new era are becoming more and more perfect in systematization, physics and chemistry, which indicates that our party has reached a new height in its understanding of the law of cultural construction in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, its original contribution to Marxist cultural theory, and its historical and cultural self-confidence.It is a milestone in the development history of the party’s propaganda, ideological and cultural undertakings.

    This means that the new era, the new journey and the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation have created a new guide to action. It is our new cultural mission in the new era to continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point. To accomplish this new mission, there are many new contradictions, new problems and new challenges, and there are laws to follow, which need to be guided by scientific theories. Under the guidance of the supreme leader’s cultural thought, we should better raise the banner, gather people’s hearts, educate new people, promote culture and display image, unify more than 98 million party member’s thoughts with those of the CPC Central Committee, lead more than 1.4 billion people’s thoughts under the banner of the Party, and unite the majestic forces to promote the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation. In the international situation where the world changes rapidly in the past century and the international environment has undergone profound changes, we will not only strengthen our ambition to be Chinese, but also embrace all kinds of world civilizations with an open mind, and constantly enhance the national cultural soft power and the influence of Chinese culture. Under the new situation of the rapid development of information technology and the emergence of media matrix, we should better grasp the leadership, management and discourse power of ideological work in our hands, turn the variable of Internet into the increment of career development, and gather online and offline concentric circles. Under the guidance of the supreme leader’s cultural thought, we will better strengthen our cultural self-confidence, uphold openness and tolerance, persist in being upright and innovative, solve a series of problems faced by propaganda and ideological and cultural work with the wisdom of knowing change, the way to adapt to change and the courage to seek change, and open up a new world of career development.

  2. Accurately grasp the distinctive features of the supreme leader’s cultural thought.

    Accurately grasping the important characteristics of the supreme leader’s cultural thought is the key to fully understand the core essence and spiritual essence of this important thought. The cultural thought of the supreme leader is rich in connotation and profound in exposition. It is a theoretical summary of the practical experience of the party’s leadership culture construction in the new era, which enriches and develops Marxist cultural theory and realizes the internal unity of scientificity, popularity, practicality and openness.

    Access to truth, through rigorous scientific. The supreme leader’s cultural thought, with scientific theoretical category, strict logical structure and profound historical vision, incorporated cultural self-confidence into Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s "four self-confidences", incorporated the adherence to the socialist core value system into the basic strategy of adhering to and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, clearly publicized the mission and task of ideological and cultural work "raising the banner, gathering people’s hearts, cultivating new people, rejuvenating culture and displaying image", and put forward a major conclusion of "two combinations". He profoundly answered the important theoretical and practical questions such as what flag to raise, what road to take, what principles to adhere to and what goals to achieve in building Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture. This important thought is a systematic, logical and interconnected scientific theoretical system, which enriches and develops Marxist cultural theory and broadens the road of cultural development in Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

    The people’s nature of serving the people and casting souls. Comrade Mao Zedong once pointed out at the Yan ‘an Forum on Literature and Art: "The question of why people are a fundamental question and a question of principle." The cultural thought of the supreme leader always adheres to the mass viewpoint and mass line, which fully embodies the basic principle of historical materialism that the people are the creators of history. This important idea requires that we should persist in serving the people and socialism, that a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend, that we should persist in creative transformation and innovative development, and that we should constantly create new glories of Chinese culture. This important idea requires adhering to the people-centered creative orientation, putting the people in the highest position in the heart, taking people’s satisfaction and dissatisfaction as the highest standard to test art, and creating more excellent works that meet people’s cultural needs and enhance people’s spiritual strength. This important idea requires that social benefits should be put in the first place, social benefits and economic benefits should be unified, cultural undertakings and cultural industries should be developed in an all-round way, and more and better spiritual food should be provided for the people.

    The practicality of achieving the purpose of the body and connecting the body with the use. Marx said, "All social life is practical in essence", "Philosophers only explain the world in different ways, and the problem is to change the world". The viewpoint of practice is the basic viewpoint of Marxist epistemology, and practicality is a remarkable feature that distinguishes Marxist theory from other theories. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the historical initiative, extraordinary theoretical courage, outstanding political wisdom and strong mission of Marxist politicians, thinkers and strategists, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has adhered to and strengthened the Party’s overall leadership over propaganda and ideological and cultural work, strengthened his self-confidence in continuing the history and culture, charted a blueprint path for building a strong cultural country, made clear the mission and tasks of propaganda and ideological and cultural work, and pushed the propaganda and ideological and cultural construction to open a new chapter. The cultural thought of the supreme leader has both epistemology and methodology, both the overall guidance at the macro level and the practical path at the specific level, which shows the distinctive characteristics of this important thought, and shows great power in the construction of socialist culture in China.

    Keep pace with the times and develop continuously. Time is the mother of thought and practice is the source of theory. "Marx has repeatedly warned people that Marxist theory is not a dogma, but a guide to action and must develop with the changes in practice." The cultural thought of the supreme leader is an open and continuous ideological system, which will be enriched and developed with the deepening of practice. From August 2018, the National Conference on Propaganda and Ideological Work summarized the regular understanding of propaganda and ideological work with "nine persistences" to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which focused on cultural construction from five aspects; From the profound exposition of "two combinations", especially "the second combination" and the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation in June 2023 to the important requirements of "seven efforts" in this important instruction, the connotation is very rich and the discussion is extremely profound. These new ideas, viewpoints and conclusions are the theoretical summary of the practical experience in the construction of the Party’s leadership culture in the new era, and are the fundamental follow-up for doing a good job in propaganda and ideological and cultural work, which must be persistently implemented and continuously enriched and developed for a long time.

  3. Based on the new era and new journey, thoroughly study, publicize and implement the cultural thought of the supreme leader.

    The value of theory lies in guiding practice, and the purpose of learning lies in application. In the new era and new journey, to study, publicize and implement the cultural thoughts of the supreme leader, we should base ourselves on the new situation and new tasks of accelerating the evolution of the world’s unprecedented great changes in the past century, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation entering a critical period, and the coexistence of strategic opportunities and risk challenges, and work hard to learn, believe and use, deepen the internalization and transformation, continuously improve the political position, deepen understanding and recognition, and promote the implementation of the transformation.

    Raise your political position. Political position is the most fundamental, basic and important position for party member cadres. It is necessary to thoroughly study and implement the cultural thought of the Supreme Leader at a height related to the party’s future and destiny, strengthen the party’s overall leadership over propaganda and ideological and cultural work, implement political responsibilities, resolutely and effectively prevent and resolve ideological risks, and solidly promote cultural construction in Socialism with Chinese characteristics. We should thoroughly study and implement this important thought from the perspective of national foundation and national movement, deeply realize that "spiritual poverty is not socialism", widely practice socialist core values, and improve the construction of innovative spiritual civilization. Standing at a height related to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we should thoroughly study and implement this important thought, constantly consolidate the common ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country, cast a solid sense of the community of the Chinese nation, and make all ethnic groups hold together like pomegranate seeds in the big family of the Chinese nation, thus providing strong ideological guarantee, strong spiritual strength and favorable cultural conditions for comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

    Deepen understanding and recognition. Only by understanding can we agree; Only when you agree with it will you consciously practice it. It is necessary to strengthen the comprehensive understanding and mastery of the cultural thought of the Supreme Leader, and link it with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, instead of studying it unilaterally; Learn by systematically grasping its basic viewpoints and scientific system, rather than learning piecemeal; Develop geoscience in combination with the propaganda of ideological and cultural work in the new era, rather than static geoscience. Grasp the Marxist standpoint and method that runs through it, and learn the housekeeping skills of doing a good job in propaganda and ideological and cultural work. Deeply understand the decisive significance of "two establishment", constantly strengthen "four consciousnesses", strengthen "four self-confidences", achieve "two maintenance", and enhance the political recognition of the supreme leader’s cultural thought; Deeply understand the essence and charm of this important thought and enhance ideological identity; Deeply understand the milestone significance of this important thought in the development history of Marxist cultural theory, and enhance theoretical recognition; Deeply understand the people’s feelings and mission of this important thought, and enhance emotional identity.

    Promote the implementation of transformation. Only by transforming and implementing ideas can we constantly show our great power. We should consciously use the supreme leader’s cultural thought to guide the practice of cultural construction in the new era, master the leadership methods, thinking methods and working methods contained therein, and constantly improve our political ability, thinking ability and practical ability to do a good job in propaganda and ideological and cultural work in the new era and new journey. Apply the cultural thought of the supreme leader to the implementation of the strategic deployment of cultural construction at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, earnestly enhance the sense of responsibility and mission, and implement the requirements of various tasks in a precise and detailed manner with the spirit of nailing nails. Turn the learning achievements into a strong driving force to overcome difficulties and start businesses, be good at using this important idea to solve various contradictions in the field of propaganda, ideological and cultural work, consolidate and expand the mainstream ideological public opinion in the new era, and show new weather and new actions in the practice of building a socialist cultural power and building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

Rapid stabilization of foreign trade exports (building a new development pattern and looking at foreign trade on the first line)

Cartography: Wang Zheping

Core reading

In 2020, China’s foreign trade will overcome the adverse effects of the epidemic, and it is expected to achieve the goal of "promoting stability and improving quality" throughout the year, showing that China’s economy is full of resilience.

In Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, a number of local policies have been issued to support foreign trade enterprises to protect orders and expand the market, so as to promote the rapid stabilization of exports. From here, we can see that the national foreign trade continues to develop well.

This New Year’s Day, Xie Yong, a Zhejiang foreign trade dealer, has been working overtime.

"The foreign trade list has been scheduled for March and April, and foreign customers have been calling these days, busy!" As the distributor responsible for the product sales of Zhejiang Taizhou Zhengli Electric Co., Ltd., Xie Yong obviously felt that the foreign trade export was rapidly stabilizing.

At present, in Taizhou, Xie Yong is not the only dealer who is rushing around. According to the recent statistics of Taizhou Customs, in the first three quarters of 2020, the export growth rate of small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises in Taizhou (export scale below 100 million yuan) was -20.3%, 0.6% and 1.9% respectively. After a sharp decline in the first quarter, it stopped falling and stabilized in the second quarter, and it has steadily rebounded in the third quarter. In November, it hit a new high in export volume and growth rate in 2020-8.99 billion yuan, an increase of 49.6%.

Orders grew rapidly and foreign trade continued to improve.

While going to the production workshop to keep an eye on the progress, we have to contact foreign agents to inform the progress of the order. Recently, the agent responsible for the sales of automobile shock absorbers in Sanmen County, Taizhou City has been very busy on behalf of the Red Army. Every two or three days, foreign dealers contact Dai Hongjun by email or video, asking him to feedback the market customer demand.

"We have distributors in more than 100 countries and regions such as Europe and America. In order to let them know the production situation of orders for the first time, the company specially opened a 24-hour service hotline to provide order inquiry service." Dai Hongjun told reporters, "Since July 2020, foreign trade orders of enterprises have increased. Since August, it has basically maintained a growth rate of about 50% every month! Now, the order we received has been scheduled for several months. "

Haiyao Arts and Crafts Co., Ltd. is located in Yuanqiao Town, huangyan district, specializing in holiday gifts and home accessories. Zheng Jing, foreign trade business manager of the enterprise, said: "Since July and August last year, old customers have started to place orders at the end of next year. In the past few months, the list has reached the first and second quarters of 2021. "

During the interview, many dealers said: Based on the sales performance of the whole year in 2020, the recovery of foreign trade at the end of the year has made up for the decline in performance at the beginning of the year. "As far as the situation of the whole year is concerned, it is basically the same as in previous years." For the rapid recovery of foreign trade business, dealers believe that the overall situation should be attributed to factors such as significant achievements in domestic epidemic prevention and control and rapid resumption of work and production.

The number of bank loans to foreign trade enterprises is a barometer reflecting the foreign trade situation. It is understood that in recent months, Taizhou Office of Zhejiang Rural Credit Cooperatives has issued loans exceeding 3.6 billion yuan to foreign trade enterprises in the city. Jin Shijiang, the main person in charge of Taizhou office, said: "Recently, the financing needs of many enterprises and distributors are soaring, and we have launched the’ GATT loan’ business. Dealers can use the export declaration form as the basis for loans, and many dealers are very enthusiastic about applying."

Introduce a combination policy to help enterprises guarantee orders.

In the past six months, the biggest feeling of Li Yi, the dealer, is the change in the way of business negotiation. In the past, Li often flew in the sky, talked face to face with customers everywhere, and then finalized the contract order. Now, his way of negotiation has changed from offline to online, and business negotiations are conducted through the Internet. "Online interviews are convenient, fast and sincere."

What benefits Li is the "internet plus Foreign Trade" model recently explored by Taizhou. Taizhou helps foreign trade enterprises to expand the market and grab orders by means of "cloud display", "cloud negotiation" and "cloud docking", and reduces the impact of the epidemic on all aspects of distribution. In 2020, Taizhou organized 47 online exhibitions and established Taizhou’s "Cloud Exhibition" platform. At present, it has settled in more than 600 enterprises, creating a comprehensive exhibition platform integrating regional brand promotion, global procurement and online negotiation.

In addition to making good use of the new format and new model, Taizhou has successively launched a set of measures to stabilize foreign trade.

Taizhou has established a special coordination mechanism and set up a special export class to co-ordinate all work related to export. Recently, a number of local measures have been introduced to boost the development of foreign trade from the aspects of smooth sales, optimized customs clearance and credit guarantee support. The governments of counties (cities, districts) in Taizhou jointly set up a unified government insurance platform for small and micro enterprises. As long as enterprises or distributors are insured by policy-based export credit insurance companies, they can enjoy a discount of more than 30% of the insurance premium rate during the insurance policy in 2020.

In terms of financial support, how is Taizhou implemented? The reporter learned from Taizhou Central Sub-branch of the People’s Bank of China that from the "extension of loans to small and medium-sized enterprises" to the implementation of the credit loan support plan, Taizhou has issued loans of 48.348 billion yuan to 1069 small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises in 2020. In the efficiency of bank loan review, give full play to the advantage of "document cross-verification" of blockchain, and speed up from the previous 3 to 7 days to 1 day, greatly improving the financing convenience of foreign trade enterprises.

Stop falling, stabilize and rebound … With the support of a series of policies to stabilize foreign trade, the export growth rate of small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises in Taizhou turned positive for the first time in June 2020, which opened the prelude to the rapid recovery of foreign trade throughout the year.

Listen to the demands of enterprises and solve problems on the spot.

"There are many foreign trade orders, and the liquidity of purchasing pumps from suppliers is not enough." In Daxi Town, Wenling City, Chen Lubin, the head of Taizhou Fanglianbao Import and Export Co., Ltd., has been engaged in water pump distribution for more than 10 years. Recently, foreign trade has picked up, and the export volume has soared, which makes him feel the pressure of funds.

Lotus House: genre exploration, spiritual core and traditional cultural imagination


Original title: Lotus House: the genre exploration, spiritual core and cultural imagination of the costume martial arts drama.


In the summer file of domestic dramas in 2023, costume dramas such as Changfeng Du, Sauvignon Blanc, Lotus House, Lucky at Seven o’clock and Lord Snow Eagle occupied half of the hot list. Under the background of network integration, IP development, content is king, element superposition and in-depth marketing, costume dramas maintain a high-profile trend, promote the drama series to go out to sea, and trigger a heated discussion and audience climax. Looking at the domestic costume drama in the summer of 2023, on the basis of insisting on the costume as the creative background, it fully integrates many elements such as Xian Xia, fantasy, mystery, suspense, detective story, comedy, Machiavellian, love, etc., and realizes the characteristic breakthrough of "harmony but difference" and shows the innovative practice of vertical categories under the costume drama track. Among them, the costume suspense detective drama "Lotus House" stands out in the highly competitive drama series with excellent story content and excellent production methods. Douban scored 8.1, and the theme broadcast volume totaled 10 billion, which was rated as an S+ TV series and became one of the fine martial arts dramas with both word-of-mouth and popularity.

The martial arts drama Lotus House is adapted from Teng Ping’s novel Lotus House in Ji Xiangwen. It is directed by and co-directed, starring and Aero. The drama tells the story of Li Xiangyi, the master of Sigumen, who was famous in the Wulin, who fell into a cloud of doubt after the East China Sea War ten years ago, and became a magical doctor of Jianghu, Li Lianhua, and then got involved in a river-lake dispute again, showing a thrilling and complicated chivalrous story.

Integrating "Martial Arts+Detective Cases" and Realizing the Exploration of "Type+"Creation

As an important branch of costume drama, costume detective drama has made quite dazzling achievements, bearing the common memory of a generation. From the series of Bao Qingtian in the 1990s to the series of Hong Kong dramas "Remembering Injustice" in the Millennium, and then to the series of Detective Di Renjie, Young Bao Qingtian, Arrested Officials in the Great Song Dynasty, Four Famous Arrests and Strange Man and a Plum in the early 21st century, detective dramas in ancient costume have gained a good reputation and become one of the favorite TV series. After 2010, costume detective drama entered the creative bottleneck, and the overall performance was not good, and gradually faded out of the TV screen. In recent years, with the great achievements and popularity of costume detective dramas such as Young Tales of the Great Song Dynasty, I don’t know about the Chivalrous Detective Jane, The Longest Day In Chang’an’s Under the Golden Clothes, The Imperial Courtesy, Daming under the Microscope, The League of Gentlemen, and The Mysteries of the Tang Dynasty, this theme has returned to the audience’s sight. This summer, the reputation of Lotus House exploded, which made the audience see the creative potential and type innovation of costume detective drama again.

Looking at the suspense detective dramas of ancient costume in recent years, the four outstanding sub-types are mystery, love, women and juvenile home country. In these sub-types, comedy, youth, ancient style, martial arts, highway and other elements are gathered, which conforms to the current trend of "genre+"and realizes the variation of the detective drama of ancient costume, which is very attractive and ornamental. The popularity of "Lotus House" is that after the integration of "martial arts+detective cases", comedy, suspense, tactics and other elements are superimposed, and the word-of-mouth counterattack is realized with the setting of "unit mystery+unconventional protagonist setting+treacherous light and dark in Jianghu temples", which has gained high popularity and discussion.

As for Lotus House, which focuses on martial arts and suspense, with the battle between good and evil caused by Sigumen and Jinyuan Alliance as the story background, 10 mysterious cases, such as the case of the golden body rising, the case of the female house, the case of yipin grave and the case of picking lotus village, are connected in series in the interweaving of two clues: "Looking for the remains of a single solitary knife" and "Nanyin’s plot to restore the country". In the bizarre case, there is a chivalrous atmosphere, which promotes the audience to experience the story in an immersive way in the rhythm of relaxation. Of course, judging from the theme presentation and genre exploration of Lotus House, the first half of the plot is full of suspense, and the "Detective Lotus League" composed of Li Lianhua, Fang Duobing and the sound of flute flying has formed a deep friendship in laughing and cursing, and jointly promoted the development of the plot; In the second half of the plot, the heroic spirit and chivalrous spirit of the rivers and lakes are more obvious, and a period of stirring chivalry is launched on the basis of clarifying the main line of the story. Although the drama strives to pay equal attention to martial arts and suspense elements, there are obviously too many intrigues and confusing cases in the whole work, and there are fewer young heroes and chivalrous righteousness in the martial arts drama. This also shows that although the creation of "genre+"drama series is a trend, it is more necessary to properly handle the superposition and genre mixing between elements.

Chivalry and ordinary people, rich spiritual core and cultural artistic conception

As netizens commented, "Lotus House" "tells an indifferent but not thin chivalrous feeling and ideal of home and country with a different kind of Jianghu story." The most valuable thing is that "Lotus House" shows the good and evil of human nature from the perspective of "love and affection" on the basis of martial arts dramas, and expresses the strong practical significance behind the truth of each case. From Li Xiangyi, the master of Sigumen, who is famous in Jianghu, to Li Lianhua, a leisurely Jianghu doctor, behind the change of identity is still a generation of heroes who stick to the bottom line, stick to themselves, have a just mind and are devoted to life.

For Lotus House, it is precious to examine rivers and lakes, humanity and home country from a male perspective, especially the respect for women and the concern for women’s emotional world, which makes people particularly moved. In the "Women’s House" unit, the women who were abducted into the deep house by Yu Louchun were like prisoners, losing their right to choose and be free. These women are both murderers and victims. They unite and watch each other in the women’s house, resist malice with their weak bodies, and strive to save themselves in desperation. At the end of the case of "The Woman’s House", the audience was deeply grateful for their good ending. In the "Palace Blissful Tower" unit, in the face of the rebellion of Shan Gudao and others, Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing broke the cocoon in layers of difficulties, uncovering the secret of royal blood relationship that can shake the world. In order to better stabilize the rivers and lakes and temples, Li Lianhua used the only flower that can last for a long time to detoxify Emperor Daxi, and saved everyone with his own body. The chivalry presented in Lianhu Building is more about the responsibility and the sense of home and country with "serving the country and the people and caring for the world" as the spiritual core.

In addition, Lotus House presents the pursuit of artistic conception aesthetics through a large number of traditional cultural symbols. This unity of reality and reality, which is born outside the image, has a unique expression in Lotus House. Because Li Lianhua misses Master, she dances a sword in the bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves flying with firm but gentle waves present her own Zen beauty, which conforms to Li Lianhua’s uninhibited and worldly state of mind, and also reproduces the literary landscape of "a sword floating, a towel and cloth" in poetry. At the end of the drama, Li Lianhua broke his sword and flew off a cliff and jumped into the river. At this time, the river was misty and rainy, and the clouds surged with it. Coupled with the rendering of the background music of A Pot of Lotus Drunk, Li Lianhua’s broad-minded state of mind was integrated with the surrounding environment, just like the true portrayal of "The boat died from now on, and Jiang Hai sent the rest of his life" in Su Shi’s Linjiangxian. At this time, when the camera turned, Li Lianhua put pen to paper, showing the emotional changes and aesthetic artistic conception that the open-mindedness of time has passed, the hope of protecting the people and the original heart, and realizing the world, all beings and their own life realm among all sentient beings.

Although the summer file of domestic dramas has come to an end in 2023, the costume detective craze brought by Lotus House continues, and the number of costume detective dramas to be broadcast alone has surpassed 10 such as The Case of the Tang Dynasty Digong, The Apocalypse, Under the Fancheng and The Westbound Journey of the Tang Dynasty. On the basis of "costume+detective stories", these dramas fully integrate fantasy, suspense, comedy, thriller, adventure and other elements, create distinctive types, and attract the audience’s attention with complicated unsolved stories. However, only blindly pursuing the superposition of elements and genre innovation can easily lead the detective drama of ancient costume into the wrong path of creation. On the basis of local culture, we should dig deep into the plot, strengthen the characters, clarify the logical relationship, and explore more diverse genre creation and value propositions.(Author: Yue Zongsheng, a postdoctoral fellow at Tsinghua University School of Journalism and Communication, this article is a major national social science project "Audio-visual quality products promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture", with the project number of 22ZDA083)
