Those Lantern Festival guests must eat delicious food. See if there is anyone you don’t know.

Love yuanxiao

It’s another Lantern Festival, the same festival, different local customs are different, so let’s take a look at the food customs of Lantern Festival all over the country. See if there’s anything else we haven’t eaten.

1. Tangyuan Tangyuan, also known as "Tangtuan" and "Floating Yuanzi", is one of the must-eat delicacies in the Lantern Festival recognized by most people in China. It is said to have originated in the Song Dynasty. It is made of black sesame seeds and pork suet, with a little sugar added, and kneaded into a round shape with glutinous rice flour outside. When cooked, it tastes sweet and soft, with endless aftertaste. Eating glutinous rice balls also means family happiness and reunion in the new year.

2. Yuanxiao Many people confuse glutinous rice balls with Yuanxiao, but they are actually two kinds of food. Yuanxiao is a favorite of northerners. The stuffing is made into blocks and then rolled in a dustpan with glutinous rice noodles. The stuffing sticks to glutinous rice noodles and gets bigger and bigger. When eating, it is cooked or fried. Yuanxiao symbolizes that the days ahead are getting more and more prosperous.

3. The meaning of lettuce: making money is favored by Cantonese people. Cantonese people "steal" lettuce during the Lantern Festival. They mix lettuce with cakes and cook them, which means wealth and good luck.

4. Yuanxiao Tea has the custom of eating Yuanxiao tea in Shaanxi and other places, that is, putting all kinds of vegetables and fruits in hot soup noodles, much like the ancient "Yuanxiao porridge". People in Huangmei county like to call "coriander" Yuanxiao, and the tea made of fried grains and coriander is called Yuanxiao tea. On the one hand, it will be over after the Lantern Festival, and people take out the remaining coriander to make tea. On the other hand, this kind of tea is moisture-free, nutritious and delicious.

6. Camellia oleifera In some places, there is a saying that "15 dozen Camellia oleifera, 16 pinch flat food". The flat forefinger is dumplings, while the camellia oleifera is similar to a kind of salty porridge or sweet porridge pasta snack with vegetables and fruits. During the Chinese New Year, people eat a lot of fish every day. By the Lantern Festival, it is estimated that nothing is more refreshing than a bowl of hot and delicious camellia oleifera.

7. Of course, jiaozi eats jiaozi during the Lantern Festival. On every reunion festival, China people definitely eat jiaozi. Needless to say, most Chinese people eat jiaozi.

8. Jujube Cake Eat jujube cakes during the Lantern Festival in western Henan. Jujube is a vitamin-rich food, with a rich and mellow fragrance, and has always had the reputation of "live vitamin pills". Jujube cake made of red dates has always been a kind of court cake in the past, with rich jujube fragrance, sweet and pleasant taste, mellow and long aftertaste. It is also an auspicious meaning that implies a step-by-step increase.

9. Wheat Cake The area around Pujiang County, Jinhua, Zhejiang Province has the custom of eating steamed buns and wheat cakes during the Lantern Festival. It is said that the reason is that the steamed bread is made of dough and the wheat cake is round, which means "a happy reunion of the hair and grandchildren". Wheat cakes are sweet and salty, the sweet ones are filled with sugar and sesame seeds, and the salty ones are filled with shrimp skin, chopped green onion, diced meat and dried incense, or mixed with eggs, rolled into the size of a round fan and baked. In Pujiang, handy peasant women often entertain their guests with wheat cakes, especially during the Lantern Festival. In Pujiang, almost every household eats wheat cakes.

10. There is a saying in Taizhou that "the fourteenth day of the first month is the Lantern Festival, and every family has a bad soup." People in Taizhou celebrate the Lantern Festival on 14th, 15th and 2nd, and the real midnight snack is the 14th day of the first month. After the Lantern Festival, people in Taizhou generally don’t eat glutinous rice balls, and the whole family sit around and eat bad soup. Bad soup is thickened with mountain flour, so it is also called mountain flour paste. As the old saying goes, the bitter comes first, and the salty soup pays attention to the taste, highlighting the "fresh" taste. It is better to taste it first, and put the "sweet" behind, so we eat salty soup for fourteen nights and sweet soup for fifteen nights.

Different regions have different customs and habits, and there are different foods. In short, they all mean reunion and good luck.

     Liang chen and Lu Jing, the sweet couple CP, have become the new wall of the audience. The love between them from the internet to reality has brought the sweetest candy in spring to countless audiences.

  Of course, this drama is more than just "sprinkling sugar". In the love relationship between liang chen and Lu Jing, the audience can see that the feelings are clean and pure. Under this emotional core, it also stands out in the "sister-brother relationship".

  At the end of the drama, Xu Mengjia, the screenwriter, accepted an exclusive interview with Sina Entertainment. In addition to sharing the creative process of the drama, she also responded to some questions raised by the audience.

  From network to reality, it takes a process.

  Sina Entertainment: Why did liang chen and Lu Jing fall in love online for so long? Many viewers are anxious to see their sweet interaction.

  Xu Mengjia: The first story tells that online dating comes into reality. Online dating is different from love in real life. It can quickly fall in love with a person at first sight. When online dating, Lu Jing didn’t know liang chen’s true identity, let alone his height, weight, age and appearance. Moreover, liang chen also turned on a voice changer, which will make Lu Jing even more uneasy. Another point is that Lu Jing and liang chen didn’t go for online dating at first.

  During the game, we let two people have feelings for each other, and then admit that they like him/her without knowing the identity of the other person, and they are willing to go to real life. This decision is not so easy to make, and it needs to be cautious, so it needs some emotional foreshadowing to reach the degree that the last two people are willing to go to the show.

  Sina Entertainment: In the process of playing games, how do two people’s emotions progress step by step?

  Xu Mengjia: When we first made the outline, we sorted out the emotional progressive relationship between the two people. First of all, we always think that the first five episodes of the game are very important. In the first game, it was Lu Jing who fully demonstrated his skills, and liang chen admired him very much. But at the same time, liang chen also fully demonstrated his own dishes, and Lu Jing was actually a little disgusted and depressed.

  By the second time, liang chen had already made him a human backpack and sent him bullets. This kind of behavior was actually touching for Lu Jing. At the same time, because he felt the admiration of liang chen, he also wanted to show off his skills. Unexpectedly, he overturned, and it would be a little fun for them to start playing again.

  When we arrived at the prison scene, we wanted to make an obvious progress in their feelings, so we emphasized that liang chen had some funny operations during his play, and liang chen was there to protect Lu Jing when he hung up. When Lu Jing came back, he asked liang chen why you didn’t run? Liang chen said that because we are going to die together, in this process, Lu Jing felt that the girl was very helpful. So I have changed a lot for her.

  Through these games, we let Lu Jing and liang chen feel the joy and fun of playing with each other, and at the same time let them see each other’s bright spots.

  Sina Entertainment: What are the considerations in the design of game scenes?

  Xu Mengjia: We changed the original PVP game into PVE, and changed the battle between players into a confrontation between people and robots. First, we kept the foundation of the gunfight game, followed by the collaboration between players, and the design of the copy of the game. If we just beat around in a map, it would be too boring, so we set different scenes for each copy, including the royal banquet hall, the prison and the ancient tomb jungle. In this case, it means that the audience can have a visual ice cream effect, and they can see that the hero and heroine have different costumes and different tasks in different scenes, and they will have a sense of freshness every time they are in the game mode.

  Sina Entertainment: In the previous plot, there were many coincidences between liang chen and Lu Jing, and netizens commented that it was "too routine". What do you think of such comments as a screenwriter?

  Xu Mengjia: I admit that this problem does exist, but there are actually objective reasons. First of all, the two of them are online dating. As I said before, there needs to be a process to warm up their feelings in the game. Two people don’t meet, but we are worried about them, because not meeting for a long time won’t do, so they also have some intersections in real life. In the process of writing, it’s impossible for them to really make any progress in real life, because they don’t know each other that you are the object of playing games with me every day, so everyone will think that there may be some drama in this part. Now I see the back and find that there is such a problem.

  There is no contrast between liang chen and Lu Jing, but they grow together.

  Sina Entertainment: Compared with Liang Chen, Lu Jing is a college student. Will the relationship between two people have a sense of disparity between feelings because of the disparity in status?

  Xu Mengjia: Although there is a certain gap temporarily, I think the two people are evenly matched. First of all, in her career, Liang Chen is certainly needless to say. She is a successful female star with many awards. However, although Lu Jing is a student, he has also won many awards, and he is still a good student. He is also the first Asian champion, and now he is still trying to participate in various competitions and big data competitions. Therefore, Lu Jing’s future is actually not lost to Liang Chen, which is in his career.

  Emotionally, I think these two people are independent personalities, and they don’t say that one party is completely obedient to the other. First of all, they all have clear plans for their own lives, their own careers and their own future. Two people belong to the common growth, even if there are problems, they will discuss with each other, run in with each other, and then reach an optimal and harmonious state, so I think the state of these two people is very equal and also a very good state.

  Sina Entertainment: Apart from the setting of two schoolmates, what is the uniqueness between Lu Jing and liang chen, which is different from the love between male and female protagonists in other plays?

  Xu Mengjia: First of all, they are different in identity. One is a student and the other is a singer. They are bound to encounter secular prejudice, for example, some people think that primary school students eat soft rice, etc. What we want to say is, don’t care too much and be too afraid of secular prejudice. Once you choose, you should pursue it bravely and fall in love bravely.

  There are two people together, liang chen and Lu Jing are actually problematic, but don’t give up easily. We should communicate well, run in with each other and grow together.

  Finally, don’t care too much about some external conditions. The essence of love is the attraction of the soul, so I think I hope that after watching it, the audience can stick to true love and don’t choose a relationship or enter a marriage just because it is suitable.

  Sina Entertainment: In the process of watching the drama, do you think that Lin Yi performed your imaginary landscape?

  Xu Mengjia: I think he is Lu Jing in my heart. He performed an unconventional schoolmaster. Lu Jing is very friendly to his roommate, the people around him, his neighbors and his friends. I think this is very similar to the feeling that Lin Yi himself gave me. Lu Jing is a very hard-working person, and I think Lin Yi is also a very serious person.

  In fact, in the preparatory stage, I have already discovered that he is a very serious actor I have ever seen. He will often attend script meetings with us and give opinions. For example, Lin Yi thinks that maybe the Lu Jing written in our script is sometimes too pretentious. Unlike a college student, he will advise us to accept it. I think what he said is very reasonable, so we try to make Lu Jing change him to be more grounded, more like a college student, and not too pretentious.

  We will talk with Lin Yi about his own understanding of Lu Jing. In the process of the actor’s own search and understanding of the role, Lin Yi did a very good job. The biggest surprise he gave me was actually kissing the scene. Lin Yi was really good at meeting relatives and acting very well.

  Sina Entertainment: What do you think is higher than the script in liang chen performed by LULU?

  Xu Mengjia: What surprises me about LULU is that her acting skills are very good. In the process of acting these romantic dramas, she will make me feel particularly substituted.

  In the process of performing this role, she will give us something that is not written in the script. For example, she has her own thoughts on the career development of this role. In fact, I think there are still some places that are not quite like a female star in our script. But through LULU’s performance, I think this is what I want to show a female star in her life. She actually makes up for some shortcomings in the script.

  Sina Entertainment: liang chen chose Lu Jing instead of Ding Jiayun. In the love between the year and the year, why are there more "love under the year" in recent years?

  Xu Mengjia: First of all, I think sister-in-law love is different from the traditional idol drama, which is generally a mode in which men are older than women. It is a quite new theme, and the audience doesn’t watch it very much. At the same time, I think it also reflects the rise of women’s consciousness in society. Now the audience doesn’t particularly like to see women’s roles attached to men.

  The audience’s ideas are similar to those we want to convey, that is, they strip off the external conditions of a man, such as his age, his income and his career. If you only look at him, his personality and his quality, will you still like him? What we want to convey is that you like his soul and his personality, not his external conditions. Under such circumstances,

  There is something wrong with the rhythm. We have tried to restore the famous scene.

  Sina Entertainment: How to convince the audience of the heroine’s identity background?

  Xu Mengjia: We didn’t package liang chen as a "big star". liang chen is just a popular female singer. As a singer, she is still a little different from the current star. But I think LULU has actually performed the feeling of being a popular singer.

  I think whether liang chen can become a popular singer depends on her own ability and strength, rather than focusing on things like hype and publicity. We want to shape her into an image that attaches great importance to her work and cares about her future career growth, and is also an image that dares to break through herself.

  LULU performed particularly well in this respect. In the 26th episode, she had a match with Liu Yiqing. At that time, liang chen insisted on singing "The First Dance in Winter", but Liu Yiqing just felt that we couldn’t do it for the time being. Can you put it down for the time being and get through this competition before making a breakthrough in the future? But LULU, she played with tears in her eyes at that time. Just say that you have been following the arrangement of the company for so many years, but you have never thought about my feelings. Why did you join this program? I came to this program just to break through myself, otherwise why did I come? When I saw this scene, I was actually particularly moved.

  Sina Entertainment: It’s almost the end of the show. Now let’s take a look at the creation of the whole drama. What do you think is the gain and loss of this drama?

  Xu Mengjia: First of all, the biggest feature of this drama is sweet and funny. I think we have done it in this respect. Whether it is the leading role or the supporting role, the image of the role is vivid and can be remembered by the audience. I think this is what we have done. There is also the famous scenes and lines of the original, and we have tried our best to restore them. There are some problems. First of all, there are still some problems in the rhythm. Everyone says that there are too many passes, which feels like a routine. We admit that there is indeed a problem. There is also my feeling that we paved the line between Sun Binyu and Mashanshan too late. In fact, their scenes should be mentioned in the male and female two, and more scenes should be given to them in the early stage, which is also a problem that we will try to avoid in future works.

According to the data of railway administration,

This ugly year of the ox

More than 100 million people choose to "stay behind"

Celebrate the New Year on the spot and have a reunion.

every"original year person"the story of

It smells good!

01

"Clean year, leave some time to pay attention to yourself"

NingxinActress from mainland China, with representative works such as Eye of the Storm, Hot-blooded Companion, Smiling Beauty, etc. She is a popular contestant in Miss Chongqing contest in 2012, and also a typical Sichuan girl. She is straightforward and generous, and relatives and friends love to find her when they go to Beijing, calling her "Chongqing and Zigong’s receptionist in Beijing".

Ningxin likes excitement and likes Chinese New Year.

"In the year of my heart, there are beautiful frogs, sweet and sour ribs, a big table of red and spicy dishes, and a large family gathering together."Ning Xin said that in addition to Sichuan and Chongqing cuisine, their family’s Spring Festival must-have repertoire is to visit relatives and friends, and Chongqing-Zigong-Neijiang turns around, keeping up with the clockwork every day. It is necessary to string many doors and meet many people.

This year is different, because of work, Ningxin stayed in Haikou. During the post-epidemic period, in order to respond to the call of the country to "celebrate the New Year on the spot", she simply stayed in Haikou for the New Year.

Without special planning or preparation in advance, I ate a New Year’s Eve dinner package at the hotel. Although compared with previous years, the taste of the year is a little lighter, but it is plain and has a different flavor.

"The time spent playing mobile phones has been greatly shortened. I eat and sleep in the house and watch movies every day. When I am bored, I go out for a walk, look at the sea, stay for a long time, or think about my future plans.I like a lively year, and I also like a quiet year-to be quiet when it should be lively, to leave some time for myself, to pay attention to myself, and to let me see myself more clearly."NingXin said.

02

"With the’ comrades in arms’ group year, the human touch is the taste of the year."

Chen yuanqiShe is a nurse in the Department of Neurology, Kuanren Hospital in northern Chongqing. Her hometown is Luzhou, Sichuan. As a front-line medical staff, she knows better than ordinary people the meaning behind "celebrating the New Year on the spot".

Therefore, she decided to become a member of the "left-behind" army.

Although parents are distressed that the girl is alone in a foreign land, long live understanding in the face of the epidemic.

The hospital hoarded a lot of materials (delicious food) in advance, and also arranged some red decorations in advance, such as a small puppet in the shape of a cow, a red fruit flower arrangement and so on.

On the first day of junior high school, colleagues in the department sat together to make jiaozi and glutinous rice balls, and sent some hot jiaozi to patients and their families. Everyone was so moved that they thanked them again and again. "It’s so warm of you!"

Chen Yuanqi said that the year of Chongqing in 2021 is busy and warm.

"After the intense anti-epidemic and epidemic prevention war, the medical staff in our department are not only colleagues, but also comrades-in-arms and relatives. Although I can’t go home for the New Year, I’m not alone with everyone. It turns out that this is the meaning of the Spring Festival-where people are and where the year is. The human touch is the taste of the year. "

"The ceremonial feeling of the Spring Festival, a fireworks show worth 200 million yuan"

OliviaIt’s a western pastry chef. The reporter collected materials from the readers of the new women’s newspaper, and Olivia volunteered to share her story of "celebrating the New Year on the spot" in Xiamen.

Xiamen during the Spring Festival, in the words of writer Haruki Murakami, is that there is not a cloud in the sky and the wind is warm, which is an impeccable sunny day. The vast rape blossoms in Xiangshan and the cherry blossoms in Manshan are the most beautiful spring scenery.

Olivia said that in the past, during the Spring Festival in Chongqing, flannel thick cotton trousers were always unkempt-no fashionable white-collar worker could escape the fate of becoming a "village flower" every second. There is an advantage in Xiamen, a long skirt and a wave by the sea, showing the Hawaiian style.

"A person can’t brush his circle of friends when he is in the field for the New Year. He feels that happiness and carnival belong to others. But the first day of the New Year is the happiest, because I made an appointment with my friends to see the island road.A fireworks show worth 200 million yuan. "Fireworks were set off in Jinmen, Xiamen for half an hour. Olivia always wanted to shoot a romantic scene of waving fairy wand at the seaside, but the sea breeze and waves refused, and finally only took a video of sand sculpture wishing on fairy wand.

Fireworks for half an hour, traffic jams in the middle of the night, the grand occasion is comparable to the annual New Year’s Eve in Jie Fangbei, Chongqing, and this fireworks party finally ends with the operation of hotels and homestays around the island.

"I miss Chongqing’s grilled fish and hot pot skewers, miss the lights of Hongyadong, miss the excitement of Guanyin Bridge, and miss the home-cooked meals made by my parents. But when we grow up and work, we often can’t do whatever we want. But,It doesn’t matter if you don’t like the food, the dialect you don’t understand, or the climate with strong ultraviolet rays, because as long as you are brave enough, you will always wait for a beautiful fireworks feast."Olivia said.

Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Spring is beautiful, the wind is soft and the sun is warm.

Some people are busy preparing for spring ploughing and driving out poverty.

Some people run out of holiday balance.

The workload is on the way.

I hope my friends will work hard.

Get rich in the year of the ox

All the wishes you want come true ~

Visiting the "isolation examination room" of the college entrance examination: What are the differences between special examination rooms?

  On July 3rd, the staff (right) simulated the temperature test results of the candidates in zhounan middle school, Changsha. Xinhua News Agency reporter Xue Yuxi photo

  Xinhua News Agency, Changsha, July 3 (Reporter Xie Ying Zhang Ge) The college entrance examination is just around the corner, and the preparations for the college entrance examination under the epidemic situation are also under intense pressure. On the 3rd, the reporter participated in the college entrance examination exercise in zhounan middle school, and visited the "isolation examination room" exclusively.

  At the test center in zhounan middle school, Changsha, the warning stakes, warning tape and sunshade awning erected in front of the school gate were neatly placed, and more than 100 "candidates" lined up outside the test center at a distance of one meter to receive infrared temperature measurement.

  On July 3, the staff (right) simulated the arrangement of examination seats for the fever candidates. Xinhua News Agency reporter Xue Yuxi photo

  "Candidates whose body temperature is higher than 37.3 degrees Celsius will be led by the epidemic prevention commissioner to rest in the rest area, and then re-examined with a mercury thermometer. If the temperature is lower than 37.3 degrees Celsius, they can take the test normally. If the candidate’s body temperature is still higher than 37.3 degrees Celsius, after comprehensive evaluation, the candidate’s physical condition is suitable for continuing to take the exam, then the standby isolation examination room will be started. " Liu Luochun, dean of Changsha Education Examinations Institute, said.

  Zhang Siyu, a senior two student in zhounan middle school, plays a "suspected case". "In the re-examination room, the disease control personnel asked me ‘ Condition ’ At the same time, you have been giving me psychological counseling. Tell me ‘ Don’t be nervous, just have a simple test, and it won’t affect the exam ’ 。”

  On July 3, the medical staff (middle) simulated the rest area in the body temperature check area to appease the mood of candidates with high body temperature. Candidates will receive a second temperature test after taking a short rest in the rest area to prevent the temperature from being affected by excessive temperature and emotional tension. Xinhua News Agency reporter Xue Yuxi photo

  After that, Zhang Siyu was guided to a special passage by medical staff and went to the isolation examination room. In the examination room, two invigilators, wearing protective clothing, goggles and gloves, carried out security check on Zhang Siyu.

  There are epidemic prevention supplies such as temperature guns, disinfectant and disposable gloves on the podium in the isolation examination room. There are only four examination tables in the examination room, and the seat spacing is more than 2 meters. In addition, there is a letter to parents on each desk: "We have opened a backup examination room for your child, and the facilities and time schedule of the examination room are the same as those of other examination rooms". "After the examination is completed, you and your child need to wear masks strictly, and you are not allowed to take public transport or school buses to take the exam, and try not to get in close contact with others" … …

  On July 3, the medical staff (first from left) simulated and led the fever examinee (middle) to enter the isolated standby examination room from the special passage of the isolated examination room. Xinhua News Agency reporter Xue Yuxi photo

  The reporter learned in the on-site exercise that it only took less than 20 minutes for the "suspected case" candidates to measure their body temperature and enter the isolation examination room. If the isolation examination room starts the examination later than the normal examination time, the examination time can be postponed later.

  "There are school doctors and professionals from the disease control department in the test center, which will comprehensively judge the symptoms of candidates and give them proper treatment in time. After the candidates finish the exam, they will also be tested by a special person. " Luo Shu, the invigilator of the isolation examination room, said.

  After the examination, the group examination work in the isolation examination room is still going on. The test papers, answer sheets and draft papers used by candidates with "suspected cases" should be packaged, sterilized and stored separately for special collection. The epidemic prevention personnel will also sterilize the examination room, examination table and door handle to prepare for the next subject examination.

  Liu Luochun told reporters that the isolation examination room is a special setting for the college entrance examination under the epidemic situation. Each test center will conduct centralized training and group examination drills for examinees before the college entrance examination to ensure the safety of candidates and the smooth examination. "In fact, there is nothing different about the isolation examination room for candidates, just changing places."

  On July 3, the staff of the Kaifu District Center for Disease Control and Prevention simulated the isolation of the spare examination room. Xinhua News Agency reporter Xue Yuxi photo

  "I can imagine that college entrance examination candidates will inevitably feel nervous under the epidemic, but I feel the safety and order of the examination process and the completeness and intimacy of the group examination from the exercise. I believe that even in the isolation examination room, this life exam can be successfully completed. " Zhang Siyu said.

Traditional arts and crafts have become the source of fashion inspiration, so it is necessary to match the pearls, not to "buy the pearls back"

China traditional arts and crafts can be described as a brilliant flower in the garden of Chinese excellent traditional culture. Among them, traditional handicraft is the most intuitive memory symbol of human civilization inheritance. On the one hand, it provides the material basis for human beings to live and develop, on the other hand, it is regarded as the link and presentation way of human spiritual connection and emotional communication. "Applying arts according to materials, making tools still in use, endowing things with affection and maintaining customs" has become the core connotation of traditional handicraft skills.
When the world enters the post-industrial era, the practical functions of the traditional handicraft production and living materials and tools are gradually stripped off, replaced by the constant amplification and prominence of their aesthetic value, cultural value, emotional value and social value, and there has been a shift from the technical field characterized by material to romanticism and naturalism characterized by spirit, and "handcrafting" is being reshaped into a cultural landscape of "returning to the world of daily life". However, in this idealized process of "remolding" and "rebuilding", we should also be alert to how traditional handicraft skills are not misused or abused in the market-oriented commercialization trend, so as to avoid the nihilistic commodity culture premium and the consumer’s resistance.
The mother-of-pearl lacquer box used by Xie Fuchun for duck egg powder adopts Yangzhou lacquer flat grinding mother-of-pearl technology.
The pursuit of personalized consumption turns the traditional craft into a new life.
UNESCO’s Convention for the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage has been promulgated for 21 years, in which traditional crafts are one of the important components of the five major fields of human intangible cultural heritage. In China, there are 629 national-level intangible cultural heritage projects, covering sculpture, textile dyeing and embroidery, clothing production, catering and food, building construction, furniture study, plant cultivation, restoration techniques and many other aspects.
Mechanical production in the industrial age is increasingly showing a variety of negative directions, such as poor quality due to profit-seeking mass production, over-assimilation of world products dissolving regional characteristics, being dominated by machinery, lack of creativity, loss of craftsmen and traditional skills, and so on. In the social context of social transformation and consumption upgrading, the stereotyped packaging of industrial products is flooding the market. At the same time, under the tension of machine aesthetics and handicraft aesthetics, China people’s aesthetic consumption is also at the node of rapid transformation.
As Japanese folk artist Liu Zongyue said, "The difference between hand and machine is that hand is connected with heart, while machine is unintentional. Handicraft can induce miracles because it is not only a simple manual labor, but a creation of the mind, and it gives labor happiness. The reason why handicrafts can induce miracles is because of the intentional control behind it and the beautiful characteristics of objects through both hands. " In Division: Social Criticism on Taste Judgment, Bourdieu, a French sociologist, made a sociological investigation and analysis on the cultural consumption of social strata in the fields of taste, habitude, cultural capital and life style, and thought that consumers could establish their unique status and sense of identity through certain cultural symbols.
Today, personalized and customized consumption has become a new consumption trend, while traditional handicrafts, which are not familiar to the public, naturally have the consumption symbol of "cultural scarcity" and become the first choice for consumers to "personalize" in their self-concept to strengthen the construction of self-cultural identity. When this kind of "personalized public claim" resonates with the consumer’s self-concept, it will become the best expression of aesthetics, interest and hobbies, which will produce the charm of labeling and realize the individualized difference.
The productive protection of intangible cultural heritage is an effective way to return intangible cultural heritage to the daily life of contemporary people on the basis of satisfying people’s needs of practicality, aesthetics and standardization. Paying attention to the close combination of traditional crafts and contemporary life, enriching the themes and product varieties of traditional crafts, improving the level of craft design and production, improving the quality of craft products, cultivating China craftsmen and famous brands, and promoting the new and extensive application of traditional crafts in contemporary life are all regarded as important manifestations of in-depth implementation of China’s traditional craft revitalization plan.
In recent years, in the continuous updating and iteration of domestic brands and time-honored brands, traditional crafts have become the main fashion trend of their packaging design, and this high-frequency appearance of cross-border cooperation has become a new position for brands and intangible assets to join hands.
All kinds of time-honored brands have many creative designs that are integrated with traditional handicrafts such as mother-of-pearl, lacquerware, silk reeling, Song Jin, bamboo weaving, ceramics and gold and silver fine work. For example, the mother-of-pearl lacquer box selected by Xie Fuchun for duck egg powder adopts Yangzhou lacquer flat grinding mother-of-pearl technology, and the fancy pattern on the lacquer box cover is made of natural shells. The top cover of shanghai jahwa’s herborist Huanji series products adopts the traditional filigree inlay technique, and reproduces the pattern of hundred grass flowers and the traditional ruyi moire; Another example is the packaging of Biluochun tea and Guojiao series wines, which adopts the traditional reeling skills that enjoy the reputation of "one inch of reeling silk and one inch of gold" and so on. In addition to high-end complicated skills, the extensive use of natural materials such as bamboo, wood, grass, cotton, lacquer, metal and ceramics, coupled with a new interpretation of the cultural meaning of traditional decorative patterns in the context of the times, has added profound cultural added value to the brand image of domestic products in the new era.
The time-honored brand of domestic products, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, is the representative of "Seiko". Coupled with the unique scarcity characteristics of traditional manual work, natural materials and memories of the times, it has formed a specific style of cultural consumer goods, providing a consumption experience different from that of industrial packaging disposable quick-throwing materials. Cross-border design cooperation between domestic brands and handicrafts, both of which draw cultural essence from history, will lead mass consumption with a brand-new attitude, show unique aesthetic taste and wisdom, and at the same time reflect the soul of intangible elements design, achieving a high degree of unity of form and connotation, which is an effective way of cooperation to achieve a win-win situation.
From these cases, it is not difficult to get a glimpse of consumers’ tendency to be knowledgeable, personalized and culturally diversified in the context of the simultaneous development of material culture and spiritual culture. Compared with the exclusive trend of western modern design in the past, handicrafts are more widely used in the packaging design of modern products, which is precisely due to the constant examination and reflection on "the use of utensils" and "the way of utensils", the expression and prominence of national cultural self-confidence, and a positive and forward-looking recognition of the survival value and development ability of national excellent traditional culture.
Herborist’s top cover of rejuvenation series products adopts traditional filigree inlay technology.
Don’t let commercial value steal the limelight of social utility and cultural value.
Young and innovative old brands, creative cross-border marketing through the "fan economy" of young brands, and customized cross-border products with the appeal of young groups can establish emotional connection with young audiences, form a more overall and comprehensive brand impression, and promote a win-win situation. At the same time, however, we should also be alert to the fact that some new brands are eager to establish market influence, and make use of the current hot spots of public opinion to make gimmicks, instead of really paying attention to the values behind the intangible skills, the craftsman spirit, and the social utility and cultural functions of the traditional skills, which will inevitably lead to the emotional resistance of consumers, resulting in negative communication and public misunderstanding of this intangible skill. For example, recently, there have been numerous non-legacy cross-border cooperation in e-commerce platforms and live broadcasts, involving beauty, clothing, food, daily necessities, agricultural and sideline products and even tourism products. It is ridiculous to apply the non-legacy logo stiffly and steal the concept of non-legacy.
From industrial packaging to manual advanced customization of traditional crafts, the transformation of consumption concept needs some knowledge guidance and cultivation. More traditional crafts are applied to product packaging design, which enables us to deeply understand the time and effort spent in each process of traditional crafts, and understand the philosophical thinking of "the beauty of oriental handiwork" after several generations of craftsmen’s painstaking efforts and their history. On the basis of the development of life aesthetic education, traditional craft empowers the design of "national tide", which is not only a strategy of resource transformation or a path of market expansion, but also a response to the deep-seated needs of social development. In the process of constructing from material to heart, it realizes communication with tradition and introspection of cultural rejuvenation.
Intangible cultural heritage belongs to the collective creation of the people, and it is passed down from generation to generation among the people. Intangible cultural heritage itself comes from life and serves life at the same time. Only when it is effectively used in the life world can its vitality and live transmission be fully activated. However, we should also reflect on and pay attention to the following three points in the protection of traditional arts and crafts: first, the communication between traditional arts and crafts and the daily life of the public; The second is to discuss the relationship between the intangible innovation of traditional craft and its authenticity protection; The third is the relationship between the protection of traditional handicrafts and the social, national cultural and ecological environment. For example, the cross-border cooperation between the national intangible Sichuan Qingshen bamboo weaving skill and many famous brands at home and abroad has been used as food packaging, ceramic accessories, art installations and even new scientific and technological means, which not only highlights the surface of the concept of organic and environmentally friendly life under the plastic ban, but also arouses the public’s continuous concern about the natural ecology and cultural ecology of this intangible skill, and its contribution to creating employment, tourism opportunities, promoting education and even rural revitalization and art township construction.
China’s traditional craft has a historical basis and traditional connotation, and it is a living context that is constantly evolving in production and life. Its harmony with the "national tide" design not only reflects the new generation and practice of the significance of traditional craft in contemporary China, but also reflects the new transformation and promotion of contemporary China’s economy and culture. We encourage non-legacy of traditional crafts to be used in creative packaging design. After extracting non-legacy skills and elements, we redesign traditional cultural elements, cultural connotations and symbol systems, so that they can better meet the consumer psychology and emotional needs of young people, stimulate new social service effectiveness, construct non-legacy identity more effectively, and realize the sustainable development of non-legacy.

Do you need hot cars in winter?

In cold weather, whether it is necessary to warm up the car has always been a concern of car owners. In some areas, the engine needs to run at high idle speed for a period of time to reach the normal working temperature. Specifically, the fast idle speed of cold car is to let the engine run at a high speed for tens of seconds to about 1 minute, and after the water temperature reaches the temperature set by the driving computer, the idle speed returns to normal. The normal working temperature of the engine is generally 80-90℃, and the calibration of individual engines is about 100℃, but it is not necessary to make the engine reach this temperature in daily hot cars. Generally, the coolant temperature is 60℃ and the engine oil temperature is above 50℃, which can meet the requirements. In addition, the fast idle speed of the cold car is not only for the temperature of the engine, but also for the engine to inject more fuel to preheat and let the three-way catalyst enter the working temperature as soon as possible to reduce automobile emissions. A secondary air pump is also installed in the American standard large-displacement car to preheat the three elements and control emissions during idling. Therefore, it is necessary to warm up the car in winter, but it is not necessary to warm up the car for a long time.

2.0T small steel cannon, brand-new 2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI launched.

Text/Theseus

Volkswagen is a world-famous manufacturer, and its global sales volume is second only to Toyota, ranking second in the world. In the domestic automobile market, Volkswagen is also very popular and has a good sales volume. Volkswagen has been developing in China for 40 years, which has established a good brand image in the hearts of consumers and has also become the benchmark of automobile brands. As a classic model of Volkswagen, Volkswagen Golf has been loved by young consumers for many years with its fashionable appearance and excellent mechanical quality. Golf GTI, as the top model of golf series, has outstanding performance and is known as a small steel gun, which is pursued by young consumers. Recently, FAW-Volkswagen announced the official launch of a brand-new golf GTI model, which is equipped with a better power system and a more fashionable and sporty appearance. The guide price is 229,800 yuan.

[Cheyou Headline-CheyouNo.-Zhidian Automobile]  

In terms of appearance, GTI is obviously more refined in appearance than ordinary golf. Adopt flat front design, through design, and the addition of red decorative strips highlights personality and movement, which is full of movement. Large-size air intake grille with blackened honeycomb structure inside brings brand-new visual impact and looks more sporty and domineering. In addition, the brand-new GTI adopts the brand-new LED headlight group design, which looks sharper and improves the aggressiveness of the whole vehicle, while the word GTI is also located at the left headlight corner, which instantly improves the advanced feeling of the whole vehicle.

The side of the car body is not much different from the ordinary version. The integral side skirt design makes the car body lower. The side lines of the vehicle are smooth and concise, and the classic body shape is still dynamic, but the latest 17-inch sports aluminum alloy wheels are added, which adds a sporty atmosphere. The lower part of the door and the rearview mirror shell are decorated with silver, which enhances the luxury of the vehicle.

At the tail, the tail design of the new golf GTI is very special, with distinct layers, and the integrated body shape design is selected. The taillights are more sharp, and the rear spoiler is large, with black surrounding at the top and bottom and double exhaust at both sides, showing the demeanor of a high-performance car.

When it comes to the interior, Golf GTI still adopts the ordinary version of golf design style. The center console design is almost the same as that of golf. The embracing center console that is biased towards the cab design adds a sense of movement with GTI’s exclusive red control interface. The perforated leather material and the fur cover of the seat make people feel comfortable and can reflect the luxury inside the car. The brand-new 10.25-inch LCD instrument panel, central control suspension screen and three-position multi-function steering wheel design reduce a lot of physical buttons and improve the sense of science and technology in the car. The GTI version adopts a new integrated sports plaid seat to provide better support and comfort. In terms of configuration, the new car is equipped with 30-color ambient lights, reversing images, constant-speed cruise, multiple driving modes, automatic parking, uphill assistance, variable steering ratio, electric sunroof, keyless entry and start, remote start, low-speed driving warning, active noise reduction, 8-speaker speakers, automatic air conditioning and so on. The main and passenger seats are equipped with airbags, front and rear head air curtains, knee airbags, passive pedestrian protection, tire pressure alarm, fatigue driving tips, etc. The new golf GTI can enjoy the blind spot image on the side of the car, the openable panoramic sunroof, leather seats, front seat heating and so on. From the configuration of golf GTI, a variety of intelligent configurations make consumers more convenient and worry-free.

In terms of power, as a small steel gun, its power performance is naturally the most concerned by everyone. The new car is equipped with a 2.0T engine, with a maximum power of 162kw, a maximum horsepower of 220 horsepower and a peak torque of 350 Nm. With the DQ381 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, the speed-up time of 100 kilometers is only 7.2 seconds. It can be seen that the performance of this new car is very strong. In terms of chassis, the new Golf GTI has also updated the subframe, reinforced bearing, front double wishbone suspension stabilizer, front six-piston brake system and ceramic front brake disc, and the ground clearance of the chassis is reduced by 25mm compared with the ordinary version of golf. It is equipped with suspension system, brand-new shock absorber and valve system, which are unique to the new golf GTI, improving the driving quality and meeting the performance needs of young people.

Write at the end:

The appearance of the 2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI has attracted the attention and heated discussion of the majority of riders. Its strong performance, sporty appearance and interior design, high-quality driving experience and other aspects show its strong quality. The new Volkswagen Golf GTI not only continues the excellent tradition in the past, but also injects more innovation and high-tech configuration, making it a good choice for young consumers.

The temperature reached a record high in September, and 2023 may become the hottest year on record.

  According to Xinhua News Agency, CCTV News and other media reports, Copernicus Climate Change Service, the European Union’s climate monitoring agency, said on the 5th that September this year was the hottest September on record, and the global average surface temperature was 16.38 degrees Celsius, 0.93 degrees Celsius higher than the average in the same period from 1991 to 2020, and 0.5 degrees Celsius higher than the previous hottest September, that is, September 2020. 2023 may become the hottest year on record.

  The high temperature weather is spread all over the world mainly because the ocean temperature has been abnormally high and continuous since spring.

  According to Copernicus Climate Change Service, September 2023 is the "most abnormal warm month" since 1940. The global average temperature in this month is 1.75 degrees Celsius higher than that in September from 1850 to 1900 (before industrialization). The earliest data collected by ERA5, a meteorological database in european centre for medium-range weather forecasts, was recorded in 1940.

  The Associated Press quoted Carlo Buontempo, director of Copernicus Climate Change Service Bureau, as saying that the temperature in September this year was "amazing" and "there has never been a month like this in our records".

  According to the report "Global Climate Status" released by the World Meteorological Organization, 2016 is the hottest year on record. Copernicus Climate Change Service predicts that this record will be broken this year.

  The global average temperature from January to September this year was 1.4 degrees Celsius higher than that from 1850 to 1900, 0.52 degrees Celsius higher than that from 1991 to 2020, and 0.05 degrees Celsius higher than that in 2016.

  Buontempo said that this year’s hot weather has spread all over the world, mainly because the ocean temperature has been abnormally high since spring and has not dropped to the usual level in September. He believes that the El Ni? o phenomenon has played a certain role in the high global temperature this year, but the greater impact is the overall warming trend.

  Copernicus Climate Change Service said that in September this year, the average sea surface temperature from 60 degrees north latitude to 60 degrees south latitude reached 20.92 degrees Celsius, the highest in the same period on record, second only to the highest record set in August this year.

  According to the Paris Agreement reached in 2015, all parties will strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change, control the global average temperature increase within 2 degrees Celsius compared with the pre-industrial level, and make efforts to control the temperature increase within 1.5 degrees Celsius.

  There are frequent island fires, and the summer temperatures in many islands are above average.

  At the beginning of September this year, the website of Spain’s Confidential newspaper mentioned in the report that one month after the summer solstice, the Greek islands of Crete, Corfu and Evia caught fire on all sides. The fire destroyed more than 14,000 hectares of land and killed more than 20 people. A few days later, another island caught fire, and this time it was Sicily’s turn. At the same time, on the other side of the globe, Maui Island (located in the Hawaiian Islands) was also burned into ruins. The fire killed 115 people, and with the rescue work, the death toll will rise. Just when Spain thought there would be no more fires this summer, another fire broke out on Tenerife Island, which turned into the worst fire this summer. All fires have one thing in common: they originated from the island. This is unusual. So what are the causes of all these fires?

  Summer temperatures in Tenerife, Hawaii, Sicily and Crete are all above average. However, this is not the only reason for these fires. Experts pointed out that in recent years, fires occurred in dry conditions and also in bad weather conditions.

  Although all these fires seem to be more like a coincidence, scientific observation stations have not observed any coincidence or fixed pattern in the course of several recent fires. Experts pointed out that many meteorological factors may lead to this situation. In the next few months or years, or there will be a study to analyze this in detail.

  On the other hand, Hawaii, Tenerife and Sicily are all volcanic islands, so it is easier to ignite fires to some extent. They themselves have a historic fire mechanism, which depends on their volcanic activity. Another reason is that these islands are rugged, and once a fire breaks out, it is more difficult to put it out. The wind that affects the island is also much stronger than that on the mainland. In addition, in the process of reducing agricultural and forestry production, such as in Hawaii or Canary Islands, the reduction of land management means that the population is highly concentrated in coastal areas, because it is more suitable for developing tourism. However, there is a lack of management inside the island, neither agricultural management nor forestry management. Once a fire breaks out, these areas are easily affected by such disasters.

  Experts point out that there will be many fires in the future, and all kinds of environments will be affected by them, including urban areas, which people thought would be spared more or less. Scientists’ predictions seem to be getting more and more accurate — — The summer of the earth will be shrouded in fire. And the "perfect storm" that brought all this is not accidental. All indications show that climate change is the main reason for the increasingly destructive, frequent, unpredictable and violent fires every year.

A Brief History of New Year’s Day: Since ancient times, "New Year’s Day" has five different days.

Hello, 2022!
On the first day of the Gregorian calendar every year,
All mark the arrival of the new year,
People used to call this day "New Year’s Day".
Also known as "solar year".
So, with the first ray of sunshine in the morning,
People bless each other:
"Happy New Year’s Day!"
Qi Baishi’s "Reporting Peace"
This habit was formed when the western calendar was implemented in China. The initiator was Sun Yat-sen, who took office as interim president on January 1, 1912. In his oath of office, he ended with "New Year’s Day of the first year".
On September 27, 1949, China began to use the method of AD chronology, and officially designated January 1 as "New Year’s Day" and included it as a legal holiday.
This is New Year’s Day in modern times.
New Year’s Day in ancient times is another matter.
Yuan, the beginning of the number; Dan, the day comes out.
New Year’s Day usually refers to the first day of the first month in the calendar.
If you ask a question:
When is New Year’s Day in ancient China?
How to answer?
Some people say, isn’t this very simple? New Year’s Day in ancient times was the first day of the first month, which is now the Spring Festival.
Such an answer can only be scored 50 points. Although the ancient New Year’s Day is the first day of the first month of the year, it does not necessarily refer to the Spring Festival now.
Now the Spring Festival is the first day of the first month of the summer calendar, which takes January of the lunar calendar as the first month, so January 1st is New Year’s Day. However, many calendars were used in ancient China, and the first month of different periods and dynasties was different, so the day of the first day of the first month was also different.
The exact answer is:At that time, the calendar stipulated when it was January, and New Year’s Day was on the first day of that month.
That is to say,New Year’s Day is different with different calendars.
Song Zhao Chang’s "The Picture of the Year"
Making a calendar has always been a national event. As "Historical Records and Almanac" said: "When the king changes his surname, he must be cautious at the beginning, correct the new moon, be easy to take the color, push the Tianyuan, and follow the will."
The so-called "correcting the new moon" means modifying the calendar. "Push this Tianyuan, inherit the meaning", that is, calculate the starting point of the calendar to adapt to the weather.
How many kinds of calendars were there in ancient China? For thousands of years, our ancestors have created a variety of calendars since the Yellow Emperor’s "determination of ephemeris". According to three books, A Summary of Ancient Masters, Calendar General Records and the Evolution History of China Calendar System,There are 115 kinds of ancient calendars in China with names to test.
Among them, Huangdi calendar, Zhuan Xu calendar, Xia calendar, Yin calendar, Zhou calendar, Lu calendar, taichu calendar calendar, Santong calendar, Quarter calendar, Jingchu calendar, Daming calendar and Dayan calendar are all famous calendars in history.
But no matter how many calendars there were in ancient China,
The month of "Jianzheng" is basically fixed in the four months of the lunar calendar.
Corresponding to this, New Year’s Day also has four days.
1. November of the lunar calendar, that is, the month of midwinter, the month of the founding of the son. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor calendar takes Jiazi month as January, and Jiazi month as January day. The second month is the November of the lunar calendar, so the New Year’s Day of the Yellow Emperor calendar is the first day of November.
Zhou replaces the weekly calendar, which also takes November as the first month, so the New Year’s Day of the Zhou Dynasty is also the first day of November.
2. January of the lunar calendar, that is, the month of Meng Chun and the month of Jian Yin. "Historical Records and Almanac" said: "The past was from ancient times, and the calendar was built in Meng Chun." Sima Qian’s era of "the past lived in ancient times" may refer to the era of Zhuan Xu, one of the "Five Emperors".
"Records of the Laws of Jin Dynasty" says: "Wei Wendi Huang junior high school, Taishi made Gao Tanglong discuss the calendar in detail, and made more reforms. ….. Dong Ba suggested:’ Zhuan Xu took the first month of Meng Chun as the yuan, and the first month was the first month of New Moon in beginning of spring. That is to say, Zhuan Xu takes Meng Chun as the first month and January 1st of the lunar calendar as New Year’s Day.
"Historical Records and Almanac" said: "Summer is in the first month." Dong Ba also said, "Summer is the day to inherit Yao and Shun, so we should go from Zhuan Xu. The Book of Rites was built in Meng Chun, and it is also called. "
It means that the Xia Dynasty inherited the calendar of Zhuan Xu and took Meng Chun as the first month, so the New Year’s Day of the Xia Dynasty is the first day of the lunar calendar.
The lunar calendar we are talking about now is actually the summer calendar, which shows that the summer calendar has the greatest influence on later calendars.
In 104 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched taichu calendar, and officially decided to take the first month of the summer calendar as the beginning of the year and the first day of the first month of the summer calendar as New Year’s Day. Since then, although the calendar of our country has been revised many times, the beginning time of this year has not changed.
3. December of the lunar calendar, that is, the month of winter and the month of ugliness. "Historical Records and Almanac" said: "Yin is in December." The Shang Dynasty used the Yin calendar, which took the ugly month of December as the first month, so the New Year’s Day of the Shang Dynasty was the first day of the twelfth lunar month.
4. October of the lunar calendar is the month of Meng Dong and the month of Jian Hai. According to Historical Records, after Qin Shihuang unified China, he thought he was "rewarded with water virtue" and "in October".
During the Warring States Period, Zou Yan, a Yin-Yang scholar, put forward the theory of "Five Virtues Cycle", and explained the change of dynasties with "Five Elements Winning". At that time, people thought that the Zhou Dynasty was a "fire virtue", and Qin Shihuang thought that the dynasty he established was a "water virtue" because water overcame fire. Because the season corresponding to water is winter, and October is Meng Dong at the beginning of winter, Qin Shihuang took October of the lunar calendar as the first month and the first day of October as New Year’s Day.
Ren Bonian’s "Qing Dynasty Confessions"
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu said that "Northern China began to wait for me", that "Northern Hei Di" helped him to seize the world, and that he also thought that he was "rewarded by water virtue", so he still inherited the calendar of the Qin Dynasty. Later, Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty also used the calendar of Qin Dynasty, taking the first day of October as New Year’s Day, and it was not until Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty that it was changed to Xia Zheng.
It can be seen that New Year’s Day in ancient China,
There are the first day of October and the first day of November.
On the first day of December and the first day of January,
Plus the current Gregorian calendar on January 1,
There have been five different days on New Year’s Day since ancient times.
Wang Xuetao’s "Year of the DPRK"
On New Year’s Day in ancient times,
Also known as Yuan Day, Shang Day, Duan Day, Sui Dynasty, Lu Duan, etc.
It is the most important festival of the year.
Now, January 1st of the Gregorian calendar is designated as New Year’s Day.
And renamed the ancient New Year’s Day Spring Festival,
This is probably the biggest difference between ancient and modern New Year’s Day.

How many of these technologies from NASA have you seen?

  Today viewpoint

  Aerospace gives people a special feeling of "high cold", which reminds them of advanced fighter planes and magnificent space stations that ordinary people can’t see, touch or use.

  A few days ago, the well-known American website "GOBankingRates" took stock of 25 kinds of technologies originated from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in our daily life, which spread all over our "food, clothing, housing and transportation". They come from the distant sky, but they are convenient for our daily life.

  Food: baby milk powder, freeze-dried fruit, food safety packaging.

  At present, more than 90% of infant formula in the United States contains microalgae. It was originally the product of NASA research, the purpose of which was to test the potential use of algae as an oxygen "recycling agent" in space travel.

  Freeze-dried fruit is a common snack. However, the purpose of NASA’s development of freeze-drying technology is to make the fruits in the Apollo mission easier to carry, and this technology can maintain 98% nutrition with 20% quality.

  In order to ensure the safety and quality control method of space flight food development, NASA has now become a food industry standard to protect the food safety of consumers all over the world.

  Life: memory foam mattress, scratch-resistant lenses, anti-ultraviolet sunglasses, cordless vacuum cleaner, Nike air-cushion sports shoes, space blankets, ski boots.

  Comfortable memory foam mattress can fully fit the human body and relieve stress, which is necessary for many families. Memorable foam was not originally used to make mattresses. It was originally developed by NASA to cushion the impact of spacecraft landing on astronauts.

  Compared with ordinary glass, scratch-resistant lenses have a longer life. In fact, the scratch-resistant coating is a "by-product" accidentally discovered by Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) under NASA when researching the diamond hard coating for aerospace.

  In 1980s, two scientists from JPL developed a kind of welding glasses, which can absorb, filter and scatter the strong light emitted during welding. Later, this technology was widely used in anti-ultraviolet sunglasses.

  Initially, Black&Decker was ordered to develop a portable device for Apollo and Gemini missions, which was used to extract samples from below the surface of the moon. This technology has been improved to become a "cordless vacuum cleaner".

  Nike air-cushioned sneakers use the patent of "Blow Rubber Molding" obtained by M. Frank Rudy, a former engineer of NASA. The initial application target of this technology is spacesuit.

  The space blanket is insulated and heat-preserved, which is an essential item for survival in the wild and marathon. But it was originally developed by NASA to protect spacecraft and astronauts at low temperatures.

  In addition, the technology used by NASA in the joints of spacesuits has been improved and used in ski boots, which improves the athletes’ control ability in skiing.

  Home: swimming pool purification system, household heat insulation materials.

  In order to resist the extremely low space temperature, NASA made an insulating material called "radiation barrier" from aluminized polyester. According to JPL, aluminized polyester is now used in most household insulation materials.

  In 1960s, NASA developed an electrolytic silver iodide filter to provide clean drinking water for astronauts, and now it is widely used to purify swimming pools.

  Travel: aircraft deicing system, precision GPS, anti-skid groove on highway, better tires.

  According to NASA’s technology transfer plan, civil aircraft can fly in cold weather, mainly due to a thermoelectric deicing system called Thermawing developed by NASA.

  Many mobile phones are equipped with precision GPS technology developed by JPL, and its data comes from JPL global GPS receiver network. Even if there is no wireless connection, you can still use GPS positioning on your mobile phone.

  NASA’s Langley Research Center has developed anti-skid slot technology to prevent aircraft accidents on wet runways. Later, this technology was widely used in expressways.

  In 1970s, Goodyear Company developed a new tire material for NASA Viking Mars probe, which was used in parachute system. This technology was later used to improve ordinary tires, increasing their life by 10,000 miles.

  Electronic products: mobile phone camera, notebook computer, high-power solar cell, wireless headset, mouse, CAT scanner.

  In the 1990s, NASA asked JPL scientists to make a miniature camera that can be installed on spacecraft while ensuring the quality of photography. According to JPL, one-third of mobile phone cameras now use this technology.

  According to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, "Grid Compass" is the first notebook computer in the world. It was first used in the space shuttle mission in 1983, which is one of the inventions of NASA.

  The crystalline silicon solar cells used in the home originally came from the lightweight solar energy system developed by the Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology Alliance under NASA for electric aircraft.

  NASA has developed wireless headphones for astronauts to facilitate their communication. Now this technology has entered thousands of households.

  According to JPL, a NASA researcher developed a computer mouse in the 1960s, which allowed users to operate on the computer screen and made the computer more interactive.

  JPL initially developed a CAT scanner to scan aerospace components to get advanced digital images to detect defects. Now, it has become a commonly used medical instrument.

  Medical care: cochlear implant, invisible dental appliance, ear temperature thermometer.

  Adam Kiser, an engineer at Kennedy Space Center, used his working experience in electronic, sound and vibration sensor systems in the space shuttle project to develop early cochlear implants by using electric pulses instead of sound amplification technology.

  Compared with the traditional metal appliance, the invisible dental appliance is more beautiful. It is made of transparent polycrystalline alumina, which was originally developed by NASA to track heat-seeking missiles.

  Nowadays, many parents use ear thermometer to measure the temperature of sick babies or young children. According to JPL, this thermometer adopts infrared dissection technology invented by NASA and Diatek.

  There is always one of these 25 technologies that you have seen, touched and used. Aerospace technology can not only be used in high space, but also improve our quality of life after landing, which is one of the driving forces for human beings to explore and fly higher and farther.

  (Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, July 8 th)
