Meituan, whose market value plummeted during the year, announced its performance report for the second quarter of 2021 on August 30. According to the financial report, in the second quarter, Meituan’s revenue was 43.76 billion yuan and its net loss was 3.36 billion yuan, which was the third consecutive quarterly performance loss of Meituan. Throughout the first half of the year, Meituan’s revenue was 80.78 billion yuan, with a net loss of 8.203 billion yuan, compared with a profit of 631 million yuan in the same period last year.

Behind the "Waterloo" performance, Meituan is striving to maintain the dominance of local life, including responding to the penetration of platforms such as Tik Tok into local life. In the new business field, Meituan and its competitors are equally fierce. Community e-commerce, flash shopping, grocery shopping and other parts contributed a loss of 17.28 billion yuan to Meituan in the first half of the year.

In addition to the visible "burning money" war in business, Meituan also faces two other challenges. One is the anti-monopoly investigation disclosed in the financial report. As of the announcement date, the relevant investigation is still going on, and the company may be required to change its business practices or be fined heavily. Secondly, the policy "boots" of 4.7 million laborers sent by Meituan to participate in social insurance has fallen, and it is not known whether Meituan can catch it.

The loss of new business in the first half of the year was 17.3 billion yuan.

In a single quarter, the revenue growth rate of Meituan in the second quarter slowed down compared with the first quarter.

The financial report shows that in the second quarter of 2021, the revenue of Meituan was 43.759 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 77%. In comparison, the revenue of Meituan in the first quarter was 37.016 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 120.9%.

According to the business classification, Meituan’s food and beverage take-out, going to stores, hotels and traveling are its main businesses, and they also make money for the company. The new business and others include sharing cycling, shopping, taking a taxi, flash shopping and community group buying business based on the optimization of the US delegation.

Meituan said, "The community e-commerce business Meituan Optimization is still the most important investment area of the company this quarter." However, this part of the business is also the bulk of the loss of the US Mission.

In the second quarter, Meituan’s new business and other sectors realized revenue of 12 billion yuan and operating loss of 9.2 billion yuan, an increase from the loss of 8 billion yuan in Q1. From January to June, the revenue from new business and other businesses was 21.9 billion yuan, with a loss of 17.3 billion yuan, which exceeded the whole year of 2020.

According to the financial report, the community group buying business has further expanded its geographical coverage, deepened its penetration into low-tier cities, and established cold chain logistics nationwide to ensure product quality and fresh product distribution.

At present, after a period of irrational competition and supervision and guidance, the "third group" represented by Xingsheng Youxuan, Shihui Group and Tongcheng Life began to shrink its front line. Giants like JD.COM also changed their attitude towards group buying, but Meituan did not give up the pace of expansion, and Wang Xing regarded it as a "once-in-a-decade opportunity".

At the analyst meeting, when answering the analyst’s question that "the growth rate of orders preferred by Meituan has slowed down", Wang Xing said that Meituan is very confident in the prospect of community e-commerce (community group buying). Despite the recent regulatory opinions and seasonal factors, Meituan has experienced some operational fluctuations, but the company will optimize its pricing strategy and build long-term capabilities.

What supports the new business "burning money" is the take-away and high-profit wine travel business that has produced economies of scale.

In the second quarter, Meituan’s food and beverage take-away income was 23.125 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 59%; The operating profit generated increased by 95.2% year-on-year to 2.447 billion yuan. The income from shops, hotels and tourism was 8.6 billion yuan, up 89.3% year-on-year; It generated an operating profit of 3.664 billion yuan.

With regard to the commission that has attracted much attention, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce suggested that the take-away platform reduce the commission at the two sessions. Meituan immediately launched a new commission model in May, which refined the commission into technical service fees and performance service fees, and adopted step-by-step charges.

According to the financial report, in the second quarter of this year, the commission income of Meituan’s catering take-out was 20.36 billion yuan, and the number of completed orders was 3.54 billion, with an average commission income of 575 yuan per order.

In the second quarter of 2020, the commission income of Meituan’s catering take-out was 12.72 billion yuan, and the number of completed orders was 2.23 billion, with an average commission income of 571 yuan per order, which means that the commission amount in the second quarter of this year was higher than that in the same period of last year, and the reform did not reduce the commission income of Meituan.

Increasing the commission leads to an increase in the company’s profit margin. Meituan revealed in the financial report that the operating profit of the food and beverage take-out division increased by 95.2% from RMB 1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2020 to RMB 2.4 billion in the same period of 2021, and the operating profit rate of this division increased by 2.0 percentage points from 8.6% year-on-year to 10.6%.

However, in the second quarter, the rider cost was 15.46 billion, which was little changed from the 15.38 billion in the first quarter. Obviously, the rider did not share the growth of the commission income of the US Mission.

This is somewhat embarrassing for Wang Xing, who advertises that "common prosperity" is rooted in the gene of Meituan.

It is worth noting that the food and beverage take-away business on which Meituan depends has ushered in new competitors. Recently, Tik Tok started the take-away business, and now has access to take-away brands that can deliver by themselves, such as KFC and Xicha. At the same time, Tik Tok also set up a team for take-away business, and in the internal test called "Heart Takeaway" business.

According to CBN, recently, a group of operators who were in charge of customers’ businesses in public comments switched to ByteDance to engage in commercialization-related businesses.

Ali has never given up the competition in the field of local life. On July 2, Alibaba announced a series of organizational upgrading decisions. Flying Pig and Gao De were merged into Ali’s local life, and Yu Yongfu became the CEO, which is considered to be a "hard" group for integrating resources.

In fact, the local life service market is a trillion-dollar track. According to the data released by iResearch, the current online penetration rate is only 12.7%. This huge cake is destined to be the long-term competition direction of Internet giants.

Or get a high ticket for antitrust investigation.

Compared with the performance, the market is more concerned about the progress of the anti-monopoly investigation of Meituan.

On April 26 this year, the General Administration of Market Supervision issued a notice, which will investigate the suspected monopolistic behavior of Meituan according to the report.

On the evening of August 30, the General Administration of Market Supervision said that under the administrative guidance of the General Administration of Market Supervision, eight shared consumer brand operating enterprises, namely Hello, Qingju, Meituan, Monster, Xiaodian, Jiaodian, Jiedian and Soudian, were actively rectified, and the price increase in the shared consumption sector was effectively curbed, and the price was gradually transparent and standardized.

Among them, more than 80,000 cabinets of Street Power were reduced in price, and thousands of cabinets of Small Power, Search Power, Monster and Meituan were reduced in price. At present, the average price of each brand is 2.2-3.3 yuan/hour, and cabinets with a price of 3 yuan or less per hour account for 69%-96%.

In the next step, the market supervision department will further strengthen the supervision in the field of shared consumption, requiring all enterprises to strictly review the internal compliance of price adjustment, and truthfully and timely publicize the pricing rules and standards.

In addition, the above-mentioned contents also mentioned that the General Administration of Market Supervision conducted an investigation into the failure of Meituan to declare its acquisition of mobike according to law. It is understood that in April, 2018, Meituan wholly acquired mobike at a price of 2.7 billion US dollars. After that, mobike’s founding team withdrew one after another, and mobike joined Meituan App and changed its name to Meituan Bicycle.

In the financial report, Meituan said that in April 2021, the State Administration of Markets launched relevant investigations on the Company in accordance with the Anti-Monopoly Law of the People’s Republic of China. As of the date of this report, the relevant investigation is still in progress, and the company actively cooperates with the investigation of the State Administration of Market Supervision.

According to the financial report, the company cannot predict the situation or results of relevant investigations at this stage, and may be required to change its business practices or be fined heavily.

Wang Xing expressed his views on a series of recent regulatory measures in anti-monopoly, data security and community e-commerce. He believes that these regulatory changes are meaningful for the sustained development and orderly growth of the Internet platform economy, and are also beneficial to promoting fair competition and development of the industry.

When some analysts asked about the impact of data security supervision on marketing advertising, Wang Xing said that the relevant supervision may have some impact on marketing advertising business, and the company is evaluating it.

If the punishment falls, how much will the US Mission be punished?

According to the anti-monopoly law, the fine amount is 1%-10% of the comprehensive turnover of the previous year, and the estimated fine range of Bank of Communications International Report is 4-12 billion yuan, accounting for 1-3% of the total transaction volume (GMV) of Meituan’s take-away business in 2018/19. Nomura said that if the fine is 4% of the previous year’s comprehensive turnover, Meituan may be fined 4.6 billion yuan.

This will seriously affect the future development of Meituan, whose new business is still in the investment period. According to incomplete statistics of public information, Radar Finance found that Meituan had lost two lawsuits about unfair competition.

In February this year, the judgment issued by the Intermediate People’s Court of Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province showed that the unfair competition behavior of Jinhua Branch (Meituan) of Beijing Sankuai Technology Co., Ltd. damaged the legitimate rights and interests of ladas Company (Hungry) and should bear civil liability. The court gave full support to the hungry petition asking the US Mission to compensate for the economic loss of 1 million yuan.

In April, Meituan was again judged by the Intermediate People’s Court of Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu Province to compensate for the economic loss of 352,000 yuan, because Meituan had obvious unfair competition.

In response to supervision, Wang Xing stressed that the company will continue to strengthen compliance operations, improve the management and control of internal businesses, thoroughly examine and actively rectify related issues, and reduce operational risks.

Business model faces the impact of employment security

The problem facing Wang Xing is not only anti-monopoly, but also the protection of riders’ rights and interests has attracted the attention of relevant departments.

According to media reports, in May this year, when the government inspection team members were stationed in the Meituan, they consulted the inside of the Meituan on the remuneration of riders. According to the insiders of the company, the Meituan had 4.7 million riders, and most of them were dispatched by labor.

In view of the continuous influx of young and middle-aged people into the take-away industry, but they are outside the social security system, have no labor relations with the platform, and face the status quo of "the strictest algorithm" assessment, the rights and interests of take-away workers are increasingly concerned by the society.

Since July this year, a number of competent departments have jointly issued a series of guidance documents, which put forward all-round requirements for protecting the legitimate rights and interests of take-away food delivery personnel.

Specifically, there are three points that may affect the US delegation: ensuring that the rider’s salary is higher than the local legal minimum wage; Providing social security for full-time riders and industrial injury insurance for part-time riders; We should pay attention to the physical and mental health of workers, optimize the platform algorithm, and must not formulate assessment indicators that harm the safety and health of workers.

In the social security part, the document points out that it is necessary to urge the platform and third-party cooperative units to participate in social insurance for take-away food delivery personnel who establish labor relations, and encourage other take-away food delivery personnel to participate in social insurance.

It is learned from some take-away riders that at present, the take-away agents of Meituan need to bear commercial insurance by themselves, and the commercial insurance paid by Meituan is deducted from their commission every month. The Beijing area is around 150 yuan every month, and some second-and third-tier cities are lower than this amount.

According to the regulatory guidelines, this part will be paid by Meituan. According to the daily level of 3 yuan in second-and third-tier cities, the annual expenditure of this Meituan is about 5.1 billion yuan.

Tiger Securities believes that among the above-mentioned 4.7 million riders, assuming that the proportion of riders who confirm labor relations is 20%-30%, the average income of riders who sell out is about 6,000 yuan, and the median of the minimum social security base in different cities is about 3,000 yuan. Based on the current social security policy, the enterprise payment ratio is 32%. It is estimated that Meituan will pay 2.3-3.4 billion yuan more in social security fees every year.

Citic Securities commented that it is impossible to accurately quantify the impact of the supervision on the platform, such as rider social security and rights protection. However, logically, it is judged that the regulatory authorities did not intend to overthrow and subvert the existing business model of take-away, nor did they explicitly restrict its commercialization liquidity. Instead, they shifted the focus of the platform from simple efficiency improvement to rational distribution of income, and put forward higher standards and requirements for the stability and humanization of the ecology behind the entire platform.

Analysts believe that once the take-away platform pays insurance for large-scale riders, it means that its operating costs will increase, which will also have an impact on the business model of Meituan.

In terms of improving the welfare of take-away riders, Wang Xing introduced that Meituan will cooperate with the supervision to provide comprehensive welfare plans for take-away riders, and will upgrade the order delivery system and adjust the order system according to policy guidance to introduce compulsory rest for take-away riders.

The latest market value of Meituan, which is facing multiple difficulties, has evaporated by more than one trillion Hong Kong dollars compared with the high point of the year.

For the future trend of the US Mission, several institutions lowered their target prices. For example, UBS lowered its price by 6% to HK$ 330, Morgan Stanley lowered its price by 17% to HK$ 300, and Credit Suisse lowered its price from HK$ 374 a few days ago to HK$ 308, a decrease of 18%.

In the automobile market, price strategy is always a sensitive and key topic. Even if the price of a new car is higher, if no consumer is willing to pay for it, the higher price can only be "valuable without market". On the contrary, if we blindly pursue low prices, although the sales volume has gone up, for most car companies, it is just "losing money to earn money."

Recently, luxury brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi have resisted the "price war" one after another. Because of the rise of domestic independent brands, consumers have begun to prefer domestically produced cars with high cost performance, especially those with rich self-owned brands. In sharp contrast, BYD’s performance in the domestic market is particularly eye-catching.

With its strong brand influence and excellent product performance, BYD has achieved good sales results in the market. Taking advantage of the trend, BYD launched a million-level high-end brand-Looking Up. Although the price is high, the popularity of looking up to the brand is still high, especially its subsidiaries, which attracts much attention. Looking up to U7 is not only excellent in performance, but also equipped with "black technology" with four wheels rotating in situ, which makes it unique in the market.

Looking up at U7, it continues the family-style design concept in appearance design, and its front face shape inherits the characteristics. The flat front adopts coupe shape, and the exaggerated C-shape and headlight design on both sides, together with the through-hole opening and honeycomb mesh, make the front face of the whole vehicle look extremely aggressive. The side design takes both practicality and aesthetics into consideration. The ground clearance is slightly higher than that of looking up at U9. The design elements such as smooth back-sliding lines, chrome-plated window side strips, double waistlines, hidden door handles and frameless doors make looking up at U7 look fashionable and avant-garde.

In the aspect of rear design, looking up at U7 adopts a penetrating LED taillight group and a two-stage design with red and white contrast decoration, which is reminiscent of Lincoln car. In terms of size, the length, width and height of U7 are 5265mm, 1998mm and 1517mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3160mm, which is larger than Paramera, and the interior space is more spacious.

In terms of interior, looking up at the design of U7, it is equipped with an embedded vertical curved central control panel, a full LCD instrument panel, and the entertainment screens of the co-pilots on both sides, creating a strong sense of science and technology. In addition, Wangwang U7 is equipped with dual NVIDIA Orin-X chips, three ultra-long-range laser radars and BYD’s "Eye of the Gods" advanced intelligent driving system, covering NOA to high-speed, elevated and urban areas.

In terms of power, Wangwang U7 is built on an 800V high-voltage platform, equipped with four-wheel independent torque vector control and four-motor system. The maximum power of each motor is 326 horsepower, the total power reaches 1306 horsepower, the peak torque is 1584Nm, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers takes only 2.9 seconds. Looking up at U7, it is also equipped with a battery pack of 135.5kWh, and the cruising range under CLTC conditions is 720km and 800km respectively.

Since its inception, Wangwang series has won the attention of a large number of consumers with its luxurious interior and rich configuration. Looking up to U7, it creates a luxurious feeling in the interior and visually, and the release of Yunqi -Z is the icing on the cake. It is estimated that the starting price of looking up to U7 will be around 700,000, which is more cost-effective than looking up to U9. So, in the face of looking up to U7 so well, will you consider the choice?

　　To adhere to the guidance of Marxism in the field of philosophy and social sciences, the core is to solve the problem of why people are. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the symposium on the work of philosophy and social sciences that if China’s philosophy and social sciences want to make a difference, it must adhere to the people-centered research orientation. Without the people, philosophy and social sciences will not be attractive, infectious, influential and vital. The vast number of philosophical and social scientists in China should adhere to the view that the people are the creators of history, establish the ideal of learning for the people, respect the people’s dominant position, focus on people’s practical creation, consciously link personal academic pursuit with the development of the country and the nation, and strive to produce more research results that can stand the test of practice, people and history.

　　Adhering to the people-centered principle is the fundamental value of philosophy and social sciences.

　　Philosophy and social science takes the existence and development of human beings and society as the research object and content, so it is both "human" and "human". From the connotation point of view, society is made up of people, with people’s activities as its content, and the main body of social history is concrete and historical people. Therefore, the existing conditions of human beings, including health, civilization, cultural and technical level, and conceptual state, are the research contents of philosophy and social science; The essence of social development is the process of continuous improvement of human beings and their modes of existence (including modes of production and lifestyles), the overall evolution and progress of economy, politics, culture and society, and the pursuit of their reasonable ideal forms by people in different historical periods. Therefore, human beings are the basic elements and power sources for social existence and development. In essence, human activities take social practice as the essence, while social practice is a material activity on the one hand, and a dynamic activity on the other. This initiative is the concentrated expression of human rational spirit, and it is the basis for the existence of self-sustaining content of social development. "History is just the activity of people who pursue their own goals." Therefore, social and historical development is essentially "human". It can be seen that social development is both "human" and "human", which makes human beings get rid of the blindness of existence and development and transition to freedom.Make the development history of human society become the history of conscious activities.

　　Philosophy and social sciences have the functions of reflecting social existence, maintaining or criticizing reality, regulating social and human activities and innovation, and the value orientation of these functions is social development and human progress. Therefore, adhering to the people-centered principle is the fundamental value of philosophy and social sciences.

　　Philosophy and social sciences reflect the cognitive function of social existence, which makes human beings as social beings truly become conscious and active subjects; The function of philosophy and social science in maintaining or criticizing reality is to maintain the social, economic and political forms that are unified with the nature of human progress, and otherwise to criticize; The adjustment and control function of philosophy and social science means that people must constantly revise and improve their activity plans and activities according to the actual situation, so that human beings can stably grasp and control their own activities and March according to reasonable plans, scientific methods and correct goals; The innovative function of philosophy and social science means that it can transcend the limitations of social reality and create new ideas, and then change social reality, create new social state and promote human progress under the guidance of new ideas. It contains huge spiritual positive energy and directly affects the current situation and future state of human society.

　　坚持以人民为中心是历史唯物主义的根本原则

　　马克思主义是广大劳动者、人民群众的学说，群众路线是马克思主义的基本观点，以人民为中心、坚持人民主体地位是马克思主义的内在要求。一个半多世纪前，马克思、恩格斯在批判鲍威尔、施蒂纳等人唯心的历史动力论和个人创造历史的错误观点中，揭示出人民主体的科学内涵及其实现途径，创立了人民主体观。

　　历史唯物主义的基本观点有两条，一是物质资料的生产是人类社会赖以生存和发展的基础，二是人民群众是历史的创造者，是历史发展和社会变革的决定力量，前者从生产力和生产关系、经济基础和上层建筑的辩证关系，考察了人类社会的发展进程，揭示了人民群众在社会历史发展中的主体地位，后者揭示了推动社会历史发展的决定因素，指明了人民群众是推动社会不断发展、不断改革、不断完善的根本动力。历史唯物主义的这个基本原理告诉我们，以人民为中心是社会存在和发展的客观要求和根本原则。

　　坚持以人民为中心是马克思主义中国化的基本路径

　　近一个世纪以来，中国共产党人将马克思主义的人民主体观与中国革命、建设、改革的实际相结合，孜孜追求国家的独立富强和人民的自由解放、生活幸福。

　　?

　　Persisting in taking the people as the center is the historical responsibility of the vast number of philosophical and social scientists.

　　Philosophy and social science workers should establish the concept of learning for the people. Our party is a party that serves the people wholeheartedly, and our country is a country where the people are the masters of the country. The starting point and end result of all the work of the party and the country is to realize, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. In order to make a difference in China’s philosophy and social sciences, we must adhere to the people-centered research orientation. Without the people, philosophy and social sciences will not be attractive, infectious, influential and vital. The vast number of philosophical and social scientists should consciously link their personal academic pursuit with the development of the country and the nation, and strive to produce more research results that can stand the test of practice, people and history; We should put social responsibility in the first place, take the social effects of academic research seriously, be the pursuer and disseminator of truth, goodness and beauty, win respect with profound knowledge, lead the atmosphere with noble personality charm, and achieve self and value in making a statement for the motherland and the people.

　　Philosophy and social science workers should earnestly study and answer the issues of the times that the people are generally concerned about. Contemporary China is experiencing the most extensive and profound social changes in the history of our country. This unprecedented great practice will certainly provide powerful impetus and broad space for theoretical creation and academic prosperity. The vast number of philosophical and social science workers should carry forward the excellent traditional cultural spirit of "making a heart for heaven and earth, making a life for the people, inheriting the past and learning from the past, and opening up peace for all generations", set the tide of the times, communicate the changes of ancient and modern times, and make the first sound of ideas, and actively make comments and suggestions for the party and the people. Only by listening to the voice of the times, responding to the call of the times, caring for the people’s feelings, and seriously studying and solving the major and urgent problems that the people are generally concerned about, can we truly grasp the historical context, find the law of development, and promote theoretical innovation; Only in this way can we really study and answer the major theoretical and practical problems faced by China’s development and our party’s governance, and put forward the correct ideas and effective methods to solve the problems; Only in this way can we truly distinguish between essence and phenomenon, mainstream and tributary, and put forward objective, accurate and testable views and conclusions; Only in this way can we truly not forget the original, absorb foreign countries and face the future, not only deeply study major issues related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, but also actively explore major issues related to the future and destiny of mankind, and scientifically reveal the great logic and trend of the development of the times.

　　The leadership and management departments of philosophy and social sciences should strengthen the construction of social science talents. To construct philosophy and social sciences with China characteristics, we should start with people and make contributions for a long time. We should take good care of, cultivate and use the five armies of philosophy and social sciences, focus on discovering, cultivating and gathering a group of thinkers, theorists, academic leaders and young and middle-aged academic backbones, and build a talent system of philosophy and social sciences with complete categories and echelon connection; We should conscientiously implement the party’s intellectual policy, respect labor, knowledge, talents and creativity, and achieve full political trust, active ideological guidance, create conditions at work, care for them in life, and do more practical things, do good deeds and solve difficult problems for them; We should respect the hard work and research achievements of philosophy and social science workers, take the initiative to deal with experts and scholars, make friends, and often listen to their opinions and suggestions; It is necessary to let talents with both ability and political integrity play a role in important posts, form a good incentive mechanism for cultivating talents in philosophy and social sciences, and promote the continuous growth of outstanding talents.

　　In short, adhering to the people-centered research orientation is the inherent requirement of the development of philosophy and social sciences, the soul and direction of upholding and developing Marxism, and the historical responsibility and working principle of the prosperity and development of China’s philosophy and social sciences under the new situation. We must not be afraid of hardships, work hard, care for the public and watch for the people, and jointly promote the prosperity and development of philosophy and social sciences with China characteristics.

　　Why does the Millennium context continue? Brilliant civilization, how to glow with glory?

　　Looking back at history, the ancient wind blows across the land of China and the mountains and rivers of Wan Li, and the great pen of history engraves the answer of the times "Why China".

　　On a new journey, the road is like a rock. In the first year of fully implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the theme of "culture" runs through the investigation footprint of the Supreme Leader General Secretary. Standing at the strategic height of the sustainable inheritance of the Chinese nation and Chinese civilization, the General Secretary guides us to draw the strength of cultural self-confidence from inheritance and development.

　　Seeking the roots of civilization

　　Enlighten the future with history as a mirror in the historical coordinate.

　　Culture connects a nation’s past, present and future.

　　"Sleeping for thousands of years, waking up is shocking." Sanxingdui Site, located in Deyang City, Sichuan Province, represents the face and development level of ancient Shu civilization thousands of years ago. It is the largest, longest-lasting and most abundant unearthed cultural relics in southwest China so far.

　　"This job is not easy! Carry forward the spirit of slow work and fine work, take your time and work hard for a long time. "

　　On July 26th, 2023, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to the new Sanxingdui Museum to visit the exhibitions such as "Dreaming of the Century", "King of the World" and "Heaven, Earth, Man and God" to learn about the excavation process of Sanxingdui site and the achievements of ancient Shu civilization.

　　More than 1,500 pieces (sets) of various cultural relics, such as pottery, bronzes, jade and stone tools, goldware and ivory (including ivory carvings), are exhibited in the new museum, of which nearly 600 pieces are exhibited for the first time. A piece of cultural relics is magnificent and dazzling in the magnificent Milky Way of Chinese civilization.

　　"Chinese civilization has outstanding continuity" — — On June 2nd, in the forum on cultural inheritance and development, the Supreme Leader General Secretary pointed out five outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization in his important speech, and the first one was "continuity".

　　Before the symposium, the general secretary specially inspected two cultural landmarks — — China National Edition Museum and China Historical Research Institute have been thinking all the way, thinking about "continuity" throughout.

　　Come to the Central General Pavilion of China National Edition Pavilion, visit the National Study, the Exhibition of Ancient Chinese Civilization Edition, the Exhibition of China Contemporary Publishing Boutiques and Featured Edition, carefully examine the exhibition of Marxist China-style classic edition, and visit the library exhibitions of "Combination of Chinese, Tibetan, Mongolian and Manchu Tibetan Tripitaka" and "Combination of Sikuquanshu"; Walk into the China Historical Research Institute, visit the special exhibition on the origin of civilization and Zhai Zi China, learn about the major archaeological discoveries in the Neolithic Age and the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and look at some precious ancient books and documents … … General Secretary Nianzi is here to explore the roots of civilization and do a good job in the protection of cultural relics.

　　"What I care about most is the most precious thing left by Chinese civilization through vicissitudes. Our culture continues to flow and then pass on, and these treasures left behind must be taken care of and cherished by all means. " Concerned about the construction of the China National Edition Pavilion, the general secretary earnestly entrusted: "Please!"

　　Detect a touch of ashes and get a glimpse of textile processing more than 3,000 years ago; AI technology is put together and restored, and the bronzes in different sacrificial pits can be restored to integrity; Multifunctional archaeological work chamber, ultra-depth microscopic analysis, 3D model, X-ray fluorescence spectrum … … In recent years, various disciplines and scientific and technological means have continuously contributed to archaeological research, providing strong support for the exploration and protection of civilization.

　　Nowadays, the major projects of "Archaeological China", such as the Chinese civilization tracing project, the Xia culture and the civilization process in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, have been promoted as a whole, and the national edition museum has been put into operation, and the research and interpretation of the origin of Chinese civilization have been deepened continuously.

　　Know what you have never done, and you will know where you are going.

　　Looking back at the historical coordinates and looking forward to the journey of the avenue, the general secretary marked a new direction — — Chinese-style modernization endows Chinese civilization with modern strength, and Chinese civilization endows Chinese-style modernization with profound connotation. Chinese-style modernization is the new life of the old country of the Chinese nation and will surely promote the rejuvenation of Chinese civilization.

　　Tracing back to the source contains the power of civilization of "Why China".

　　preservation of cultural relics

　　Activate, protect and inherit forever on the axis of culture

　　A Gusu city, half a Jiangnan poem.

　　Strolling along Pingjiang Road, the lanes are criss-crossing, the waterways are criss-crossing, and the old and the modern collide here.

　　Located in the northeast corner of Suzhou ancient city, Jiangsu Province, Pingjiang historical and cultural block has a history of more than 2,500 years. On July 6th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came here to inspect, listen to the report on the protection of Suzhou ancient city and the protection, repair and utilization of Pingjiang historical and cultural blocks in detail, walk to see the style of ancient streets, watch the production of Suzhou embroidery and experience the printing of New Year pictures.

　　A picture of Pingjiang clearly shows the plane outline and street layout of ancient Suzhou. There are 3 national key cultural relics protection units, 2 provincial cultural relics protection units, 14 municipal cultural relics protection units, 44 controlled and protected buildings and 202 cultural relics registration points.

　　Repair cultural relics, dredge rivers, renovate residents’ courtyards, activate protection, and make the city reappear in the fireworks world. Today’s ancient city is basically the same as that in Pingjiang Map, as if we can get a glimpse of the bustling scene of Suzhou in the Song Dynasty.

　　"Suzhou has done a good job in combining tradition and modernity. It not only has historical and cultural heritage, but also has high-tech innovation and high-quality development, representing the future development direction." The general secretary said this.

　　Develop in protection and find the "combination point" between ancient and modern times — — Take the repair method of "repairing the old as it is, preserving its truth", and formulate the Protection and Renovation Plan of Pingjiang Historic District and the Protection and Renovation Plan of Pingjiang Road Street View, etc., and make in-depth investigation and careful records of houses, bridges and other historical sites in the local area to promote the protection of the street style and environmental governance.

　　Protect in development and find the "balance point" of people’s livelihood — — "A plaque, a bucket, a well, a line", a series of transformation measures gradually improve the pragmatic livelihood issues such as water leakage and humidity, water and electricity consumption in the ancient city.

　　In Zhengding, Hebei Province, it is proposed that culture should promote the county and tourism should promote the county. In Zhejiang, investigate the Liangzhu site and pay attention to the "application for heritage" of the ancient city; In Fuzhou, Fujian Province, promote the formulation of protection and management regulations and protection planning for Fuzhou historical and cultural city … … The protection of cultural relics and historic sites is a consistent focus.

　　Visiting the ancient city again and again and touching the history again and again, the "cultural footprint" of the General Secretary is all over China.

　　In May this year, on the way to Shaanxi, the General Secretary visited the Yuncheng Museum in Shanxi. He once again stressed that it is necessary to conscientiously implement the work requirements of the CPC Central Committee on upholding protection first, strengthening management, tapping value, effectively utilizing and making cultural relics alive, and comprehensively improve the level of cultural relics protection and utilization and cultural heritage protection and inheritance.

　　In recent years, many measures, such as planning and protection, inheritance and utilization, supervision and management, have provided guidance for the protection of the cultural heritage of the ancient city and brought new formats and vitality to the city.

　　"Avoid ‘ A thousand cities and ten thousand buildings look alike ’ " "Let the residents see the mountains, the water and remember their homesickness" … … Along the direction of the general secretary, Zhengding ancient city reappears the style of the northern male town, Liangzhu ancient city site is selected into the World Heritage List, Beijing Hutong engraves the memory of the ancient capital, and the construction of the national cultural park is solidly promoted, and the historical context is constantly integrated and combined with modern life.

　　Years have passed, and one piece of cultural relics and historical sites has connected the memory of Chinese culture.

　　Cultural relics protection contains the inheritance power of "Why China".

　　Cultural inheritance

　　On the road of development, innovation and integration escort

　　Embroider beautiful rivers and mountains with needle and thread as pen and ink.

　　As one of the representatives of Chinese embroidery art, Suzhou embroidery has a long history of more than 2,000 years, and was selected into the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list in 2006.

　　In Jiangsu, the general secretary watched the production of Suzhou embroidery, and his heart was attached to cultural inheritance. "The excellent traditional Chinese culture has been passed down from generation to generation, and its toughness, patience and determination are part of the spirit of the Chinese nation." The general secretary said with emotion.

　　In Shaanxi, the general secretary praised Hanzhong rattan and paid attention to industrial development. "Hanzhong rattan and other intangible cultural heritages have long enjoyed a good reputation. It is necessary to develop and expand characteristic industries and better drive the people to increase their income and get rich."

　　In today’s China, intangible cultural heritage projects show the world the cultural charm of the ancient oriental civilization and an enduring and youthful image of China in the unique language of Chinese culture.

　　Rule of law escort — — In recent years, a series of policy plans have been issued intensively, and the legal and regulatory system for cultural heritage protection has been continuously improved. In the legislative work plan for 2023 published by the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), it is listed to amend the law on the protection of cultural relics. Ten provinces, including Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shanghai, Fujian, Shandong, Guangdong, Chongqing and Shaanxi, have issued local laws and regulations on revolutionary cultural relics, underground cultural relics, social cultural relics and cultural heritage.

　　Institutional guarantee — — For the first time, Opinions on Implementing the Inheritance and Development Project of Chinese Excellent Traditional Culture, and Opinions on Further Strengthening the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage, elaborated the inheritance and development of Chinese Excellent Traditional Culture in the form of a central document, and improved the representative inheritor system … … … … With the continuous improvement of the "four beams and eight pillars" of cultural heritage protection, it provides guarantee for the inheritance of culture.

　　Industrial integration — — The digital exhibition "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is very popular, and "Only this Green" brings an audio-visual feast, and Tongben Ma Wen has become popular … … Nowadays, many intangible cultural heritages are deeply branded and intelligent, and Industry-University-Research integrates and extends the value chain, and constantly carries out the practice of creative transformation and innovative development. "Chinese Romance" attracts the world’s attention.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, eight cultural heritages have been listed in the World Heritage List, and the protection of cultural heritages has reached a new level. At present, there are more than 100,000 non-legacy representative projects at all levels, including 1,557 national non-legacy representative projects.

　　"Chinese civilization has outstanding innovation, which fundamentally determines the enterprising spirit of the Chinese nation, respecting the past and not retro, and determines the fearless character of the Chinese nation that is not afraid of new challenges and dares to accept new things." The general secretary said.

　　In the inheritance of cultural skills, intangible cultural heritage resonates with the times at the same frequency and constantly innovates and develops. Generations of inheritors have been singing string songs endlessly, which makes traditional skills glow with new vitality.

　　At the opening ceremony of Chengdu Universiade, the "God Bird of the Sun" rose in the air, symbolizing the symbol of chinese heritage and igniting this summer.

　　The rapid development of culture and the rise of great powers confirm the "combination" emphasized by the general secretary — — It is the only way to open up and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics on the profound foundation of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years, and to combine the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture.

　　Innovation and integration contain the power of the times of "Why China".

CCTV News:According to the statistics released by the National Film Bureau on November 15th, as of November 14th, the total box office of this year was 50.001 billion yuan, the total number of people watching movies was 1.179 billion yuan, the box office of domestic films was 41.989 billion yuan, and the market share of domestic films was 83.98%. In 2001, there were 58 films with box office exceeding 100 million yuan, including 39 domestic films and 19 imported films.

　　Take the "life gate" in your own hands.

　　When it comes to carbon dioxide (CO2), people generally think that it is like waste wood, which is not only useless, but also one of the chief culprits of destroying the climate and causing global warming. So far, researchers have thought of many ways to deal with it, such as imprisoning it (curing and sealing it) and driving it into a water dungeon (drilling into the seabed). However, in the eyes of Zhang Xiangping, a researcher at the Institute of Process Engineering of China Academy of Sciences, CO2 is a good raw material, which is cheap and easy to obtain. For more than ten years, her ionic liquid team, under the leadership of Academician Zhang Suojiang, has been pondering how to efficiently convert and utilize CO2 and turn it into treasure.

　　Deal with stubborn guys and send activists as "lobbyists"

　　CO2 utilization is a major global strategic issue. In June 2016, the EU launched a plan to take CO2 utilization as a major research direction; Japan has formulated a road map for CO2 utilization planning; China’s National Development and Reform Commission and Energy Bureau listed it as a key task in the Action Plan. However, the activation and transformation of CO2 molecules has become one of the internationally recognized scientific problems due to the problems of difficult activation, complex reaction path and low product selectivity.

　　"CO2 is a common compound in the air, and it is not easy to transform and utilize it. As we know, CO2 molecule is made up of two oxygen atoms and a carbon atom connected by a solid double bond, if you want to ‘ Knock ’ It is quite difficult to open the carbon-oxygen double bond closely linked between them and reduce it to oxygen and carbon. " Zhang Xiangping said in an interview with the Science and Technology Daily reporter.

　　Zhang Xiangping further explained that direct bond-breaking activation of CO2 requires high temperature and high pressure, but if we can find other active molecules to be lobbyists, such as epoxy compounds, we can induce the activation of CO2 and make its transformation easier. In addition, it is necessary to add a "medium", that is, a suitable catalyst, to promote the efficient conversion of CO2.

　　In the past ten years, after many experiments, the research team has gradually found an effective "cadre" who will live up to its mission — — The ionic liquid catalyst with multiple active sites can not only activate the double bond of CO2, but also make the ethylene oxide (EO) that reacts with it become active and open the ring more easily, so that CO2 and EO can react together to synthesize ethylene carbonate, an important chemical raw material.

　　Zhang Xiangping pointed out that the team successfully prepared the immobilized ionic liquid catalyst through further chemical chain loading, which avoided the problems of easy loss and deactivation of homogeneous catalyst, difficult catalyst recovery, high energy consumption and impact on product quality.

　　Coup after coup, enhancing value for efficient use.

　　Efficient catalyst has been developed, and a matching reactor is needed to provide a suitable place for the reaction.

　　Zhang Xiangping said: "Compliance response — Flow — According to the law of transfer and coupling, the team optimized the internal components of the reactor, realized the uniform distribution of the flow field/temperature field, and innovatively developed a 10,000-ton ionic liquid gas-liquid-solid three-phase tubular reactor, and the heat released quickly during the reaction can be discharged from the system as soon as possible, so that the reactor does not overheat and realizes safe operation. "

　　On this basis, the research team adopted alcoholysis reaction — The coupling process strengthening technology of pressure swing azeotropic distillation can realize the optimal integration of the whole system heat network, greatly reduce energy consumption, significantly improve economy and reduce equipment investment.

　　"In terms of technology, it is necessary to design a whole process to connect the whole reaction and separation process in order to get the final qualified product from raw materials." Zhang Xiangping told reporters, "We have optimized the integration of material and energy in the whole process, and greatly improved energy consumption, efficiency, economy and product quality to meet the needs of enterprises and markets."

　　According to reports, with the support of the national key R&D plan "Clean and Efficient Utilization of Coal and New Energy Saving Technology", since May 2018, the project "New Technology for Efficient Synthesis of Important Chemicals by CO2" led by the Institute of Process Engineering of Chinese Academy of Sciences has designed and synthesized a functional ionic liquid catalyst with multiple active sites in the CO2 carbonylation reaction, realizing efficient conversion of CO2 under mild conditions. At the same time, a carbonylation catalyst meeting industrial needs has been prepared and a continuous reaction device has been built. Aiming at the alcoholysis reaction of vinyl carbonate, a catalyst with high activity and low cost was developed, a 10-ton/year alcoholysis continuous device was built, and a 10,000-ton industrial test device was established.

　　Open up a new path to synthesize multiple important chemicals

　　The technology of CO2 capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is one of the main ways to realize low-carbon emission of coal in China, and the high-value utilization of the collected CO2 can not only reduce carbon emission and alleviate the greenhouse effect, but also produce significant social and economic value.

　　After years of unremitting efforts, through the original innovation of catalyst, the optimization of reactor structure and the integrated innovation of the system, the ionic liquid team of Institute of Process Engineering of Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new route of synthesizing ethylene carbonate from CO2 and high-energy material ethylene oxide, and then producing dimethyl carbonate and ethylene glycol by alcoholysis respectively, forming a new all-atom utilization technology of mild conversion of CO2.

　　Just like turning the stone into gold, products produced by CO2 are all high-value "treasures", which have a wide range of application fields and considerable market prospects, but there are problems such as poor economic benefits after being used before.

　　Zhang Xiangping said that among diversified products, dimethyl carbonate is mainly used to synthesize important organic chemicals, which is known as the "new cornerstone" of green chemistry in the 21st century. It can be widely used in organic synthesis reactions such as carbonylation, methylation, methoxylation, carbonyl methylation, polycarbonates, etc. In recent years, with the rapid development of power lithium batteries, polycarbonates and other related industries, the demand for dimethyl carbonate continues to grow rapidly, and the demand in China is expected to be 4 million tons in 2020. Ethylene glycol is a raw material for the synthesis of polyester fiber and resin. China’s annual demand is more than 14 million tons, and its dependence on foreign countries is more than 60%.

　　According to the insiders, compared with the reaction route of direct conversion of CO2 into synthetic chemicals, this technology has obvious advantages such as mild reaction conditions, good atomic economy and broad industrialization prospects. The implementation of the project will help China seize the international commanding heights of CO2 utilization technology, solve and break through the bottleneck problem of clean and efficient utilization of coal in China, and open up a new path for high-value utilization of CO2, which has important strategic significance.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 25th 　Question: How to prevent norovirus infection and influenza? What conditions do you need to see a doctor? — — Experts answer hot issues of infectious disease prevention and control in spring.

　　Xinhua News Agency reporters Gu Tiancheng and Dong Ruifeng

　　At the time of communication in winter and spring, the school season is also ushered in all parts of the country. Recently, some children with vomiting and diarrhea were diagnosed as Norovirus infection. At the same time, the results of influenza surveillance in local disease control institutions show that the current level of influenza virus activity in China has increased, mainly influenza A.

　　What is norovirus infection and influenza, and how to prevent it? What conditions do you need to see a doctor? On the 25th, the National Health and Wellness Commission organized an authoritative expert, Wang Guiqiang, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the First Hospital of Peking University, to answer the public’s hot issues about the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in spring.

　　1. Q: What is Norovirus? What are the symptoms after infection?

　　Wang Guiqiang: Norovirus belongs to the calicivirus family. After infection, the main symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea, which is an infectious disease of digestive tract. The source of infection is mainly from the mouth, but also through aerosol and close contact, such as primary school and kindergarten children holding and touching each other.

　　From the clinical manifestations, the symptoms are mild and severe, most of which are vomiting and diarrhea, while others lead to severe vomiting and diarrhea, and some serious cases may have systemic symptoms such as fever. Vomiting and diarrhea can cause a lot of electrolyte water loss in human body. Therefore, after being infected with Norovirus, it is necessary to fully rehydrate, pay attention to rest, and take sugar salt water or use rehydration salt in time.

　　2. Q: What do you need to see a doctor after being infected with Norovirus? How to prevent it?

　　Wang Guiqiang: If young children and the elderly are infected with Norovirus and show weakness, apathy, dry mouth and dry eyes, these conditions may be hypotension. We should measure blood pressure in time, go to the hospital in time, and give corresponding rehydration in the hospital.

　　If you dispose of it at home, you must pay attention to drinking light salt water or sugar salt water, because norovirus infection mainly leads to diarrhea and vomiting, which leads to the loss of a lot of electrolytes and water in the human body, which may have serious consequences. Some serious cases, such as elderly patients with basic diseases, may induce shock and other manifestations, so we should pay special attention to elderly patients with basic diseases.

　　Norovirus is mainly transmitted through the digestive tract. The first thing to do well in prevention is to manage the hygiene of food and water sources safely. The second thing is to do well in hand hygiene and wash your hands before meals. In places where children’s care institutions, primary schools and other people gather, once an epidemic situation occurs, it is necessary to immediately check whether food and water sources are polluted, and key areas such as canteens must be carefully inspected and sterilized to avoid further spread.

　　3. Q: What is the flu? What’s the difference with the common cold?

　　Wang Guiqiang: Influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza virus. The actual difference between influenza and common cold is mainly in the degree of illness and pathogen.

　　First, the etiology of the pathogen is different. There are many pathogens that can cause cold-like symptoms, and influenza is caused by influenza virus. At present, influenza A virus is more prevalent.

　　Second, flu symptoms are more serious than the common cold. Influenza can lead to persistent high fever, aching muscles and joints all over the body, and severe pneumonia. At the same time, influenza has the risk of aggravating the basic diseases of the elderly, and some patients may have secondary infections, such as upper respiratory tract infection, tracheitis and secondary bacterial infections. The general symptoms of the common cold are mild.

　　Third, in terms of treatment, influenza has specific drugs, and it is suggested that the sooner antiviral drugs are involved, the better. Although influenza is a self-limited disease, early use of drugs can shorten the course of disease, relieve symptoms and reduce the risk of severe illness. The common cold can generally be treated with symptomatic treatment. Drink plenty of water and pay attention to rest. There is no specific medicine.

　　Fourth, from the perspective of prognosis and complications, influenza is relatively harmful, and some individuals may cause the risk of hospitalization or even death.

　　4. Q: What symptoms do you need to see a doctor when you have the flu? How to prevent it?

　　Wang Guiqiang: From the point of flu treatment, generally speaking, symptomatic support treatment is the main treatment. If there is persistent high fever, shortness of breath and aggravation of basic diseases, you should go to the hospital in time. Especially for the elderly with basic diseases, it is suggested that they should go to the hospital in time when they have symptoms of fever, cough, headache and fatigue. If they are diagnosed with influenza, they should use antiviral drugs as soon as possible to avoid further deterioration of the disease, which will lead to the aggravation of the basic diseases. At the same time, it is recommended to carry out influenza vaccination every autumn.

　　Influenza is a respiratory infectious disease, and the prevention of respiratory infectious diseases is similar. Some measures to prevent Covid-19 infection are also measures to prevent influenza, and also help to reduce the risk of norovirus infection. Frequent ventilation, wearing a mask and good hand hygiene are all effective means to prevent influenza. In winter and spring, it is recommended that you wear masks in places where people gather or in closed spaces. Frequent hand washing, frequent ventilation and keeping social distance are effective in preventing all respiratory infectious diseases.

Since Google withdrew from the China market in 2010, many users have been expecting this world technology giant to return to China, especially after the Baidu Wei Zexi incident.

Although Google still provides services to users in China after quitting — — For example, the normal access of Google Translated Web Edition has been maintained. However, due to indescribable reasons, Google’s core applications and services have been out of the sight of domestic users for seven years.

Therefore, there has been a popular "four illusions" in domestic science and technology circles, namely, Facebook’s entry into China, Google’s return to China, Sony’s collapse and WP’s rise.

Although this is just the self-ridicule of insiders, the difficulty of Google’s full return can be seen.

Until the end of March at the beginning of the year, Google Translate officially landed in China. This time, Google brought the first Google App directly available to domestic users & mdash; — Google Translate (Android and iOS dual platform).

Yes, this is not an illusion, Google is really back!

↑ ↑ ↑ Google also sent a promotional video for this purpose.

So what about the first APP that Google brought to Chinese people? Today, Xiaobian brings you the hands-on experience of Google Translation.

(The client of this experience is Google Translate Android APP, version number is 5.9.0).

First, the application interface: this is the most concise tool.

The application interface of Google Translate is very simple, there is only one main interface for translation, there is no superfluous content, and the most touching thing is that it is not opened! Screen! Hiro! Sue! Now this kind of simple and unpretentious application is really rare.

↑ ↑ ↑ The simplest interface

↑ ↑ ↑ Various functions of translation interface

In addition to direct input text translation, Google Translate also provides three translation functions: AR instant translation, voice translation and handwritten translation. In addition, the global click translation function of the mobile phone can be turned on in the settings.

↑ ↑ ↑ Click Translation to open it in Settings in the side menu.

↑ ↑ ↑ Of course, there are offline translation packages that save traffic.

Simplicity doesn’t mean simplicity. Although the Google translation application is very simple, its translation function is powerful enough. Next, Xiaobian will introduce each function to you in detail (due to Bu Tonghua, who is not accurate in Xiaobian, voice translation will not be demonstrated).

Second, handwritten translation

Handwritten translation, as its name implies, is similar to handwriting input method. Even if your mobile phone doesn’t have an input method for a foreign language (such as Japanese), you can still write it for Google to translate.

↑ ↑ ↑ Take Japanese as an example.

For example, there are many strange Chinese characters in Japanese, and if the pinyin input method can’t be typed, you can write them now and turn them over. For example, this domineering "evil spirit" means to disturb.

The biggest advantage of this function is that no matter how unfamiliar a foreign language is, you can draw it on the spot for translation, such as the following Arabic, which you don’t know how to write.

↑ ↑ ↑ Xiaobian is completely drawn according to the picture, and Google still correctly recognizes it.

Handwritten translation basically restores the previous process of writing words on paper to ask others what they mean, and breaks through the limitations of mobile phone input method. In addition, it is worthy of praise that even if it is as ugly as a small writing/painting, Google’s recognition rate is still very high.

Third, click Translate

The logic of click translation is this: you copy a text → Google Translate Reading Clipboard → A suspended window → Click to automatically translate clipboard contents.

↑ ↑ ↑ Copy words-automatically pop out of the floating window-click to translate.

This function is global, which means that as long as you don’t kill the background of Google Translate, no matter which application you copy, you can call up the floating window of Google Translate for translation, and this action will not cause you to jump out of the current application, which is very convenient.

Iv. AR instant translation

Google AR instant translation means that after turning on the camera with Google Translate, you can directly translate the language in the picture. It should be noted that Google does not need to take pictures, but can translate as long as it is aimed at the target, thanks to Google’s powerful image recognition technology.

↑ ↑ ↑ Align and translate.

What is even more amazing is that the color of the text translated by this function will be consistent with the original text, and the original text will be directly blurred and covered.

↑ ↑ ↑ The translation is consistent with the original color.

However, it should be noted that the translation quality of the instant translation function will be lower than that of normal translation, and it is only suitable for translating short texts.

5. How is Google’s performance compared with neural network blessing?

In September 2016, Google officially released the Google Neural Machine Translation System (GNMT). Simply put, Google Translation has a neural network.

What does neural network mean?

Traditional calculation only includes three parts: input, calculation and output.

On this basis, GNMT adds the concept of time, and the system will adjust the current processing and calculation method according to the result of the last input and output in the later time calculation, which makes the neural network have the ability of logical correlation.

The effect of using neural network in translation is that the translation work corresponding to one word before is needed. With the blessing of neural network, the software can completely translate a sentence according to the context.

↑ ↑ ↑ Graphical principle (moving picture)

What is the specific effect? Because Google first applied this technology to Chinese-English translation, we used a paragraph of Chinese to test Google’s translation effect and Baidu translation (version 6.18) as a comparison.

1. Translation performance of Chinese-English long sentences

Here Xiaobian selected a piece of news, the original text is as follows:

"French data protection agency ‘ National Committee on Information and Freedom ’ Today, it was announced that Facebook would be fined 150,000 euros (about 166,000 US dollars) because Facebook failed to prevent advertisers from obtaining its user data. CNIL said that the fine was only part of a European-wide investigation into Facebook data protection measures. In addition, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Germany are all investigating Facebook. "

↑ ↑ ↑ The left is the result of Google translation and the right is the result of Baidu translation.

The translation results of the two softwares are roughly the same, and the biggest difference lies in the handling of the first sentence.

French data protection agency "National Committee on Information and Freedom" announced today that it will impose a fine of 150,000 euros (about 166,000 US dollars) on Facebook.

Google translation: French data protection agency "National Information and Freedom Committee"　 announced today that it will be on Facebook to 150,000 euros (about 16.6 million) fine。

The French data protection agency "National Information and Freedom Committee"　 announced today, will be fined 　150 thousand euros for Facebook ($166 thousand) fine。

You can see that the original text uses Chinese habits to break two sentences: "… It is announced today that it will … " .

Here, Google Translate turns the second half sentence into a clause, using a That guide, thus changing the first sentence into a long sentence that is more in line with English expression habits.

However, Baidu translation here still uses the same sentence break in English according to Chinese sentence break, which is strange to read.

It can be seen that Google Translation with neural network blessing is more natural in the processing of long sentences.

2. Expression of Chinese-English short sentences

Xiaobian chose a short sentence here: "Stealing things secretly."

↑ ↑ ↑ The left is the result of Google translation and the right is the result of Baidu translation.

The two performances are consistent, and there are no mistakes in the face of such a roundabout sentence. Then the difficulty increases, choose an outdated online hot word: "natural eggs."

↑ ↑ ↑ Google Translate was exposed at once.

In fact, Google can’t correctly identify the translation of most popular online terms, such as snapping, forcing people to eat melons, etc. Obviously, the localization of Google translation needs to continue to work hard.

3. Expression in English translation

Here Xiaobian selects the original English text as follows:

“You’ ve weighed the pros and cons and carefully assessed the impact. After in-depth consideration, you’ ve decided to accept that new job, or launch your own business, or take time off to be with your children. You know it’ s the right choice — but your boss, friends, and colleagues aren’ t convinced. What should you do when people you respect disagree with your decisions?”

↑ ↑ ↑ The left is the result of Google translation and the right is the result of Baidu translation.

Google’s English translation results in more problems than Baidu.

For example, "or take time off to be with your children" in the original sentence.

Or take time to spend with your children.

Or take time out with your children.

Google translation is very strange: or Rest with your children.

Another example is the original sentence: "What should you do when people you respect disagreement with your decisions?"

What should you do when the person you respect disagrees with your decision?

Baidu translation is very good: what should you do when the person you respect disagrees with your decision?

In contrast, Google Translate simply can’t watch: When you respect and disagree with your decision. What should you do?

It can be seen that Google translation is still unreliable in English translation, and it often encounters the problems of unsmooth sentences and wrong structures. In contrast, Baidu translation is better.

Conclusion: The future of translation?

It can be seen that neural network enhances Google’s understanding and translation of long sentences in Chinese-English translation, and can adjust the sentence structure according to the context to achieve a more natural translation effect.

However, in the Chinese-English translation of some localized words, Google performed poorly and basically did not optimize for localization.

In English translation, Google’s grasp of Chinese is obviously very poor, and it often encounters various translation problems in long sentences, which is obviously not as good as some domestic translation software.

↑ ↑ ↑ The handling of Chinese by domestic translation software is still worthy of praise.

Simply put, Chinese-English translation can trust Google translation, but some more reliable translation methods are needed in English translation.

However, Google not only provides relatively reliable translation results from Chinese to English, but also its handwritten translation and AR instant translation make this simple software very practical and can be called essential software for going abroad.

Neural network translation caused an uproar when it was first published, and even made many people worry about the future of the translation industry. However, after the experience, although Google translation performed very well in English translation, it still fell far short of manual translation.

It can be said that software needs to go further to realize the dream of software replacing labor. However, neural network can already make people see a little hope, isn’t it?
