Talking about military affairs | Stimulated by the conflict in Naka? Azerbaijan urgently purchases "Jilong" fighters.

Recently, Azerbaijani media reported that Azerbaijan Air Force purchased JF-17 Thunderbolt Block3 light fighter (called "Xiaolong" in Chinese) produced by pakistan international airlines Consortium, and the number of purchased fighters is expected to reach 21.

This figure is not even a fraction of the air force of a big country. However, considering that the total number of active fighters of the Azerbaijan Air Force is only 36 (including MIG -29 fighters, MIG -21 fighters, Su -25 attack aircraft, etc.), these 21 JF-17 Block3 fighters will become the absolute main force of the Azerbaijan Air Force after delivery.

Then, why did Azerbaijan purchase JF-17 Block3 fighters in bulk? Is there a deeper meaning behind this incident?

"Xiaolong" Block3 (Pakistan called JF-17 "Thunderbolt" Block3) made its first flight in Chengdu.

The Naka conflict made Afghanistan accelerate the purchase of "Xiaolong"

The author believes that the most direct driving factor for Azerbaijan to get JF-17 Block3 fighter is the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The Naka conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. From September 27, 2020 to October 10, 2020, the two sides reached a ceasefire agreement for the first time. However, just a few minutes after the agreement was reached, the armed forces of the two countries clashed again. It was not until November 10 that a comprehensive ceasefire was formally established with the strong intervention of Russia.

However, both Azerbaijan and Armenia are well aware that the ceasefire agreement reached now is only temporary, and since 1989, armed conflicts have broken out between the two countries many times. Moreover, in this Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Armenia suffered a great loss, and only kept control of a few areas such as the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh. Therefore, the Armenian side will never let it go, and it is likely to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to retaliate.

In this case, Azerbaijan must be prepared for the next possible conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, so purchasing new fighters from abroad is one of the most powerful preparation measures. You know, on December 30th, 2020, Almugahed Anwar Khan, Chief of Staff of the Pakistan Air Force, just announced that JF-17 Block3 fighter was officially put into mass production in Kamla Aircraft Factory of pakistan international airlines Consortium. Then, according to the time of receiving fighters reported by Azerbaijan’s domestic media, it means that among the first batch of JF-17 Block3 fighters put into mass production, there should be some orders from Azerbaijan’s air force in addition to Pakistan’s own orders.

Moreover, Azerbaijan’s domestic media mentioned that these 21 JF-17 Block3 fighters will be delivered within 10 years, which is indeed a bit too long in terms of time. According to the author’s analysis, on the one hand, compared with the previous Block1/2, JF-17 Block3 fighter does have a larger technological upgrade, so from the beginning, the production speed of pakistan international airlines Kamla Aircraft Factory will be slower, and it will take time to gradually increase the production capacity. On the other hand, it is obvious that Azerbaijan is preparing for the next large-scale armed conflict with a time limit of 10 years.

With the successive delivery of JF-17 Block3 fighters, the oldest and backward MIG -21 combat opportunity in Azerbaijan Air Force was eliminated first. After that, some Su -25 attack aircraft and MIG -29 fighters that have reached their flight life will also be replaced by JF-17 fighters. In this way, if war breaks out between Azerbaijan and Armenia again in 10 years, Azerbaijan’s air force with 21 JF-17 fighters will be able to stand on its own, instead of relying on Turkish air force’s F-16 fighters to fight against Armenian air force.

The most exciting purchasing factor: high cost performance

In fact, in terms of time, as early as 2015, a country once promoted JF-17 fighters to Azerbaijan, and this country is Turkey, which has always maintained friendly relations with Azerbaijan and Pakistan. At that time, Azerbaijan hoped to purchase a new type of fighter with affordable performance and meeting the requirements in bulk to replace the old fighters in active service of its air force. Turkey wanted this order very much, but it didn’t have a suitable model, so it recommended the JF-17 fighter jet jointly developed by China and Pakistan to Azerbaijan. In that year, pakistan international airlines Kamla Aircraft Factory had completed the production task of Pakistani Air Force JF-17 Thunderbolt Block1, and began to switch to the upgraded Block2. Therefore, the Azerbaijani military inspected JF-17 Thunderbolt Block2 light fighter, and the Turkish side also promised to integrate advanced weapons and equipment such as air-to-ground guided ammunition and photoelectric aiming pods developed and produced in the country on this fighter. In this way, Turkish military enterprises can also take a slice of the contract for purchasing JF-17Block2 light fighters from Azerbaijan.

By the beginning of 2019, after more than four years of "running-in", Azerbaijan’s negotiations with Pakistan and Turkey on purchasing JF-17 fighter jets have begun to enter the implementation stage of specific details. However, unexpectedly, on December 27th, 2019, Armenia couldn’t wait to receive the first batch of four state-of-the-art Su -30SM dual-engine dual-seat multi-purpose heavy fighter from Russia. In this way, the Armenian Air Force soon formed an equipment performance advantage over the Azerbaijani Air Force, and the JF-17 Block2 fighter plane that the latter originally planned to purchase was obviously unable to counter the Su -30SM dual-engine dual-seat multi-purpose heavy fighter.

Therefore, Russia took this opportunity to actively promote Su -35 and MiG -35, two advanced fighter planes with emphasis on air combat, to counter the Su -30SM dual-engine, two-seat and multi-purpose heavy fighter of Armenian Air Force. The Azerbaijani military delegation was invited to visit aviation enterprises in Russia in April, 2020. After comparison and analysis, the MIG -35 fighter with a relatively cheap price (about US$ 45 million) and a common engine with the MIG -29 was finally selected. Moreover, the pilots of Azerbaijan Air Force also personally tested the MiG -35 fighter and expressed satisfaction with its flight performance and airborne equipment.

After that, the Azerbaijani military formally proposed to Russia the intention of purchasing MiG -35 fighters in bulk. Unexpectedly, after the outbreak of the Naka War in September 2020, Russia frozen the consultation with Azerbaijan on the purchase of MiG -35 fighters. Of course, in order to be fair, Russia did not provide support to the Armenian Air Force, which made it impossible for the four Su -30SM dual-engine, two-seat multi-purpose heavy fighter equipped by the country to take off. As a result, when the Turkish Air Force F-16 fighters "stranded" in Azerbaijan directly participated in the war, they quickly took control of the air superiority over the Naka area, and there was basically no suspense about the outcome of the war between the two sides.

On November 10, 2020, after the two sides formally ceased fire under the supervision of Russian peacekeeping forces, Azerbaijan finally decided to purchase JF-17 fighter jets from Pakistan without hesitation. Of course, this time Azerbaijan has chosen the latest Block3 version instead of the Block2 version in 2015. In terms of performance, Block3 version is weaker than Su -30SM heavy fighter in terms of flight performance, such as ceiling, flight speed, maneuverability and bomb load, and has certain advantages over the latter in terms of airborne avionics system and airborne weapons and ammunition.

Xiaolong can carry many types of precision guided ammunition.

Su -30SM heavy fighter is equipped with NO11R passive phased array radar, while JF-17 Block3 fighter is equipped with foreign trade active phased array radar newly developed in China. According to CLP 14, the research and development unit of this type of radar, the performance of JF-17 equipped with active phased array radar has reached the same level as that of AN/APG-81 equipped with American F-35 fighters. Therefore, JF-17 Block3 fighter is superior to Su -30SM heavy fighter in fire control radar performance.

In addition, according to the information disclosed by the Pakistan Air Force, JF-17 Block3 fighter will also be equipped with foreign trade models of a new generation of air-to-air missiles developed by China, namely PL-10E short-range combat air-to-air missile and PL-15E long-range air-to-air missile. Especially PL-15E long-range air-to-air missile, its overall performance has surpassed the most advanced AIM-120D long-range air-to-air missile in the United States, and it is the best long-range air-to-air missile in the world at present. In this way, with the powerful combination of active phased array radar and PL-15E long-range air-to-air missile, JF-17 Block3 fighter can take the lead in attacking Su -30SM heavy fighter in over-the-horizon air combat. Previously, the Pakistan Air Force’s F-16 Block52 fighter shot down the Indian Air Force’s Su -30MKI fighter by firing AIM-120C long-range air-to-air missiles in the air battle in February 2020, which proved that medium or light fighters can also defeat heavy fighter by adopting appropriate tactics. Therefore, by purchasing JF-17 Block3 fighters, Azerbaijan can also gain experience from Pakistan on how to fight against Su -30SM heavy fighter.

In addition, from the point of view of logistics support, JF-17 Block3 fighter is also superior to MIG -35. First of all, Turkey, Pakistan and Azerbaijan have maintained good diplomatic relations for a long time, which can continuously guarantee the supply of airborne ammunition and spare parts. Moreover, JF-17 Block3 fighter adopts ——RD-93MA medium thrust turbofan engine, which is also a development model of Russian RD-33 series, so the engine support system of MIG -29 fighter can be used. Of course, if Azerbaijan is worried that it may be "stuck in the neck" by Russia in the future, it is also possible to use the WS-13 medium thrust turbofan engine developed by China on its JF-17 Block3 light fighter.

  As one of the highlights of the second "Belt and Road" summit forum, today’s forum will hold an entrepreneur conference for the first time. Yesterday, Chen Zhou, vice president of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, revealed at the press conference held at the summit forum that nearly 900 representatives from international organizations, government departments, trade and investment promotion institutions and associations, enterprises, etc. will attend the conference, including 90 Fortune 500 enterprises and 78 Fortune 500 enterprises in China. The conference will organize nearly 1,000 one-on-one talks between Chinese and foreign enterprises, and a number of cooperation projects will be signed on site.

  achievement

  The localization rate of overseas institutions of central enterprises exceeds 85%

  According to Xia Qingfeng, director of the Propaganda Bureau of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, there are currently 3,120 projects undertaken by central enterprises along the Belt and Road, which are distributed in various fields such as infrastructure construction, energy resources development, international capacity cooperation and industrial park construction. At present, among the infrastructure projects that have started or are planned to start, the number of projects undertaken by central enterprises accounts for more than 60%, and the contract amount accounts for nearly 80%.

  In terms of infrastructure construction, central enterprises have promoted the interconnection of countries along the route, and in terms of international capacity cooperation, central enterprises have also promoted the economic development of relevant countries. Xia Qingfeng introduced that central enterprises have successively carried out more than 60 oil and gas cooperation projects in more than 20 countries, strengthened technical exchanges and sharing with partners in mineral resources development, and effectively improved the capacity and level of energy and mineral resources development in relevant countries.

  In addition, central enterprises have also helped the economic transformation and upgrading of the host country. For example, Xia Qingfeng said that the Sino-Belarus Industrial Park jointly developed by SINOMACH and China Merchants Group is the largest project of economic and trade cooperation between China and Belarus. At present, 43 enterprises have entered the park, with an agreed investment of nearly 1.1 billion US dollars, which has promoted local employment and tax revenue, and deepened the professional cooperation between Belarus and other countries, including China; The sugar factory project undertaken by SINOMACH and SDIC in Ethiopia has made Ethiopia the country with the largest sugar production capacity and the most advanced technology in Africa.

  At the same time, central enterprises still insist on localized development in the local area. Nearly 85% of the employees in the overseas institutions of central enterprises are local, and the localization rate of some enterprises, such as the Indonesian branch of PetroChina and the Pakistani branch of China Mobile, is as high as 99%.

  In addition to providing direct jobs, central enterprises have also promoted local indirect employment and provided high-quality training for overseas employees, such as selecting outstanding employees from CCCC for training in China, which has improved their professional quality and ability.

  274 private enterprises participate in the construction of the "Belt and Road"

  Since the "Belt and Road Initiative" was put forward in 2013, the willingness and ability of private enterprises to participate in the "Belt and Road" construction have been continuously enhanced, and the degree of internationalization and competitiveness have also been continuously improved.

  Ma Jun, director of the Liaison Department of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, said that in 2017, the total import and export trade between private enterprises and countries along the Belt and Road was US$ 619.98 billion, accounting for 43% of the total trade volume between China and countries along the Belt and Road, with a growth rate of 12.1%. Among them, the export value was 432.54 billion US dollars, accounting for 55.9%, with an increase rate of 8.9%; The import value was US$ 187.44 billion, accounting for 28.1%, and the growth rate was 11.9%. According to the report of the Top 500 Private Enterprises in China, 274 private enterprises in China participated in the Belt and Road construction in 2017, accounting for more than 50%, such as Huawei, Geely, TCL and Sany Heavy Industry, which promoted the infrastructure improvement and economic development of the host country and made positive contributions to solving local employment.

  "At present, China has established 113 overseas economic and trade cooperation zones, with private enterprises leading the majority." For example, Ma Jun said that the Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone built in Cambodia by Jiangsu Hodo Group Co.,Ltd. attracted 153 enterprises from China, Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions to settle in and created 29,000 jobs. Up to now, 113 enterprises have settled in the Thai-Chinese Luo Yong Industrial Park built by Zhejiang Huali Group in Thailand, which has solved more than 30,000 local jobs and driven China enterprises to invest more than 3 billion US dollars in Thailand.

  This year, in order to further improve the guidance service for private enterprises to participate in the "Belt and Road" construction, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce will regularly participate in bilateral and multilateral institutional activities under the framework of national cooperation, including in-depth participation in the 2019 China International Import Expo, full implementation of the four tasks of the Beijing Summit of the China-Africa Cooperation Forum in 2018, and holding activities such as the China-Africa Private Economic Cooperation Forum with the theme of "Helping China-Africa Manufacturing Cooperation".

Seize the regulatory opportunity, and the EU’s "Artificial Intelligence Act" enters the final negotiations.

  □ Rule of Law Daily reporter Wang Wei

  According to a recent report by DPA, the plenary session of the European Parliament passed the draft authorization of the Artificial Intelligence Act with an overwhelming majority of 499 votes in favor, 28 votes against and 93 abstentions. This means that the bill enters the final negotiation stage of EU legislation to strictly supervise the application of artificial intelligence technology, and the European Parliament, the European Commission and member States will conduct "tripartite" negotiations to determine the final terms of the bill. The German "Business Daily" said that the "Artificial Intelligence Act" is expected to be finally approved by the end of this year, but it may take several years before it fully takes effect.

  Be prepared for negotiations

  According to the report, the European Parliament decided to add more security control measures to generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT to ensure that the research and development and application of artificial intelligence comply with relevant EU laws and regulations.

  As the world’s first comprehensive legislation aimed at artificial intelligence through parliamentary procedures, the draft has formulated detailed rules in terms of security, privacy, transparency and non-discrimination. According to the website of the European Parliament, the European Parliament "is ready for negotiations to formulate the first artificial intelligence bill in history". According to the legislative agenda, the European Parliament will hold "tripartite" negotiations with the European Commission and member States on this draft authorization, and European legislators hope to reach a consensus on the final version of the bill before the end of this year.

  In May this year, the Market Committee and the Civil Liberties Committee of the European Parliament passed the draft negotiating authorization for the proposal of the Artificial Intelligence Act put forward by the European Commission in April 2021. Previously, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union had made several rounds of revisions and discussions on the draft, and after the emergence of generative artificial intelligence applications such as ChatGPT, EU legislators urgently discussed the issues not covered in the original draft. The European Parliament stated that this proposal, if formally approved, will become the first regulation on artificial intelligence in the world.

  The draft will apply to entities that put artificial intelligence systems on the market or put them into use in the EU (whether in the EU or in a third country), entities that use artificial intelligence systems in the EU and entities that use artificial intelligence systems in a third country, but the output of the systems is used in the EU or has an impact on people in the EU.

  Risk classification supervision

  A prominent feature of the draft authorization of the Artificial Intelligence Act is that it pays attention to formulating a supervision system based on risks, so as to balance the innovative development of artificial intelligence and safety norms. The draft divides the risk of artificial intelligence into four levels: unacceptable risk, high risk, limited risk and minimal risk, corresponding to different regulatory requirements. Among them, the use of high-risk artificial intelligence must be strictly regulated, and system providers and users must abide by the provisions of data management, record keeping, transparency and artificial supervision to ensure the stability, accuracy and safety of the system. For those who violate the regulations, the draft sets a fine of up to 30 million euros (1 euro is about 7.895 yuan) or 6% of the global annual turnover.

  The draft strictly prohibits artificial intelligence systems that pose unacceptable risks to human security, including systems that deploy subconscious or purposeful manipulation techniques, exploit people’s weaknesses or use them for social scoring, and expands the classification of high-risk areas of artificial intelligence to take into account the harm to people’s health, safety, basic rights or the environment. The draft also requires artificial intelligence companies to maintain artificial control over their algorithms, provide technical documents, establish a risk management system for "high-risk" applications, and set up a special supervision system for generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT. Each EU member state will set up a supervisory body.

  In addition, the regulatory sandbox (which means that enterprises are allowed to test innovative products, services and business models with real individual users and enterprise users in a real market environment by setting restrictive conditions and formulating risk management measures) mechanism is introduced to control risks and promote innovation, and the artificial intelligence system is developed, tested and verified to reduce risks before it enters the market or is put into use. The draft also proposes that this mechanism is also allowed to test innovative artificial intelligence under realistic conditions to encourage artificial intelligence enterprises to continue to innovate.

  Face important challenges

  The EU’s attempt to establish a unified legal supervision framework for artificial intelligence is an important symbolic example in the development of global artificial intelligence. The discussion and attempt of effective regulation on artificial intelligence in the EU will have a global impact, which may lead to more and more countries trying to follow up the exploration of relevant regulations.

  Regarding the decision of the European Parliament, the German Social Democratic Party expressed its support: "The potential and risks of artificial intelligence should be concerned by the whole society." However, some opponents worry that excessive supervision may bring higher costs and excessive burdens to European artificial intelligence companies.

  Companies that are in a leading position in the development of artificial intelligence are, to some extent, technology companies that have faced the risk of antitrust violations, violated existing laws and caused information leakage in the past decade. Based on this, Sam altman, CEO of OpenAI, said that he would lead his team to withdraw from the European market if the AI Act over-regulated AI.

  Experts say that the EU’s promotion of artificial intelligence legislation is conducive to maintaining the EU’s leading position in the fields of digital sovereignty and science and technology, and through such a comprehensive legislation, it will seize the opportunity of global artificial intelligence supervision. But it has its own limitations. It adopts horizontal legislation, not aiming at specific artificial intelligence application fields, but trying to bring all artificial intelligence into the scope of supervision, and will face a lot of interpretation problems at the implementation level.

  Some voices further pointed out that the EU has not reached a consensus on what impact artificial intelligence technology may bring to mankind. From a dialectical point of view, artificial intelligence can not only benefit and serve human beings, but also bring threats or injuries to human beings if it is not used properly. How to balance innovation and constraints is a very important challenge facing the EU legislature. In addition, the unified legal framework does not involve specific legal norms, and the actual implementation effect may be "greatly reduced".

  The international community believes that at present, the development of artificial intelligence technology is still in the exploration period. At this time, the EU enacted the "Artificial Intelligence Act", which released a strong signal that the EU is strengthening its regulations in the digital field. How to better balance and link technological innovation and institutional innovation needs to be constantly revised in practice.

Office building of Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development

(Former Construction Engineering Department)

Location: No.9 Sanlihe Road, Haidian District, Beijing

Completion time: 1954

Designer: Gong Deshun

Coverage: It covers an area of 10 hectares, with a building area of 37,740 square meters, and has a 7-story brick-concrete structure.

Honor: It was included in the 20th century architectural heritage project in China.

Architecture is the carrier of solidified music and culture, the embodiment and inheritance of urban context, and the nostalgia and memory of generations.

Architecture is a silent history and the most objective witness of the years.

Architecture is an important carrier of scientific and technological development achievements and the crystallization of design innovation, material innovation and construction technology.

These characteristics are all presented in the office building of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (referred to as "the office building of the Ministry of Construction").

The office building of the Ministry of Construction was built in 1954, and it has been put into use since 1955. It is an important landmark building in Sanlihe area, which has had a wide influence in China’s construction industry and is an objective witness to the development of the Republic’s construction industry.

The office building of the Ministry of Construction is large in scale, simple and majestic, with coordinated overall layout, proper simplicity, economical and reasonable internal layout, simple and generous external decoration. After decades of use test, it is still enduring and attractive, and has been well received by the architectural community. It is one of the best buildings in Beijing after the founding of the People’s Republic of China and a successful design masterpiece in modern architectural history.

gain distinction

On March 31st, 1981, People’s Daily published a news in the 8th edition. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, 37 buildings in China have been listed in the History of World Architecture published in Britain, including the office building of the Ministry of Construction.

In 1993, the office building of the Ministry of Construction won the "Excellent Architectural Creation Award of China Architectural Society (1953-1988)". In 2017, it was selected as "the first batch of China 20th century architectural heritage projects" (jointly organized by China Cultural Relics Association and China Architectural Society).

Famous architect Gong Deshun

The office building of the Ministry of Construction was designed by Gong Deshun, a master architect (once the director of the Design Bureau of the Ministry of Construction, and a senior architect (professor level) of the Architectural Design Institute of the former Ministry of Construction of China Construction Science and Technology Group, and was awarded the title of "Master of Architectural Design" by the Ministry of Construction in 1989). It was one of the first buildings built after the establishment of New China, and the office areas of various ministries in the State Council were located in the western suburbs (Yuetan area). At that time, the western suburbs were still large areas of farmland and there were no high-rise buildings. After the completion of the main building, it was very conspicuous in the empty western suburbs at that time. After the completion of the North-South Annex Building, a complete building complex was formed, and the main building was even more magnificent.

Comrade Liu Shaoqi inspected the office building of the Ministry of Construction.

In late spring and early summer of 1955, Comrade Liu Shaoqi inspected the office building of the Ministry of Construction. Designer Gong Deshun and his comrades answered some questions raised by Comrade Liu Shaoqi. For example, the office building has one floor underground and seven floors above ground. The designed floor height is 4.5 meters, the top floor height is 4.0 meters, the other floors are all 3.6 meters, and the five-story auditoriums at both ends are 7.2 meters high. The brick-concrete structure was adopted in the project. At that time, the seismic grade of the area south of Erligou was 6~7. Comrade Liu Shaoqi also inquired about the cost of the office building of the Ministry of Construction, which is 140 yuan/m2. Finally, Comrade Liu Shaoqi also asked Gong Deshun: "What do you personally think are the shortcomings of this design?" Gong Deshun replied: "The nearby people have given this building a nickname, called’ Nine Dragon Wall’, because it is really thin from the north-south direction of the building now, like a shadow wall, and it will not feel thin when the north-south annex building is built in the future. As for the shortcomings, mainly in the design of the five-story auditorium at the north and south ends of the building, for the treatment of the main facade and cornice, the height of two floors is occupied, about 7.2 meters, and the area of one floor is missing; It is a pity that a lot of money was spent on making fake beams during the decoration. These two auditoriums should be converted into two-story offices, so that the two ends of the building will be six floors. The seven-story office in the middle of the building should be properly raised and converted into an auditorium, which is ideal, not only increasing the construction area, but also reducing the cost per unit area of the building. "

Construction background

The design and construction period of the office building of the Ministry of Construction coincided with the first "Five-Year Plan" period (1953-1957), and the national economy entered a planned and rapid development period.

At that time, the architectural design unit learned the design experience focusing on industrial architectural design, and initiated by some influential experts, set off a creative activity of exploring "national forms" characterized by large roofs. In 1954, all kinds of waste in economic construction became increasingly obvious, and the government felt that it was urgent to oppose waste. Subsequently, a large-scale anti-waste action was launched in the construction industry. As an anti-waste measure, the state has proposed to control the construction investment index and reduce the cost of office buildings: 100~160 yuan/square meter for public buildings; The residential building is 30~40 yuan/m2. In this context, the office building of the Ministry of Construction did not adopt the big roof architecture form that was generally designed at that time, but was designed with a flat roof, and the cornice parapet did not use glazed tiles, but was made of water brush stone, which was more economical and applicable, and created the feasibility for adding stories and buildings later.

Basic technical indicators

The office building of the Ministry of Construction covers an area of 10 hectares, facing Sanlihe Street, with a building area of 37,740 square meters and a 7-story brick-concrete structure. Under the technical conditions at that time, building such a high building with brick-concrete structure reflects the innovation consciousness and construction level, and it is also challenging. In the plane and vertical traffic treatment, the route is reasonably shortened and the traffic area is compressed, and proper measures are also adopted for fire prevention and earthquake resistance. This building passed the test of Tangshan earthquake in 1976, and there was no safety problem, and it is still as strong as ever today.

The beam and slab of the load-bearing structure of the office building of the Ministry of Construction is designed according to 3.0m× 6.0m, but the elevation is treated according to 6.0m× 6.0m, in order to avoid the vertical lines of the elevation being too dense and the appearance being more light.

The original main building is 30 meters high and 90 meters wide. Later, the main building and the five-story annex building of the north and south wings built later were integrated into a whole, with a total width of 220 meters, which was basically a national form of axially symmetric buildings.

Planning and design characteristics

The office building of the Ministry of Construction retreats from the red line, forming a Little Square, which is even more magnificent when viewed from a distance. The architectural design fully embodies the "Chinese but new" style advocated by Mr. Liang Sicheng at that time, that is, a modern building with China characteristics. The architectural appearance is mainly flat roof modeling, and the overall modeling is simple and lively, which is both magnificent and economical. Between the south and north annex buildings and the main building, the scale is appropriate and the connection is smooth, and the overall effect of the building is more magnificent.

At that time, the design requirements had a certain height and boldness of vision. Considering the characteristics of the new China architecture, the designer absorbed the characteristic modeling elements of the traditional national architecture in China from the ancient stone que, such as adopting the eaves treatment method which was common in the Yuan Dynasty in China, and the facade was treated as a double cornice. The diameter of reinforced concrete overhangs, tiles and dripping water is 18 cm. No matter from which angle, the proportions of all aspects are very appropriate.

Agility and vitality

The office building of the Ministry of Construction has successfully used the traditional symmetrical layout of the central axis, with the solemn and magnificent 7-story main building as the central main building and the five-story buildings in the north and south as the wings, thus shaping a national office building with the traditional enclosed space form of China. In the design of architectural style, China’s traditional architectural forms and decorative arts are skillfully used to innovate.

The design of the entrance hall of the office building of the Ministry of Construction is also very clever. The entrance treatment is to highlight a porch in front of the building, and the entrance hall is located in the building. This design requires the height of the entrance hall to be increased, which will make it look spacious.

The passage connection not only has the transition space of the front hall, but also reflects the heaviness, solemnity and atmosphere through the beams and columns. The decoration of glazed tiles not only reflects the inheritance of traditional architecture in China, but also shows agility and vitality through carved stone. The passage and the doorway below expand the overall width and add a solemn atmosphere.

The window cover on the bottom floor is semicircular arch, showing a powerful and strong visual effect. The sill wall under the window of the standard floor is embedded with simple decorative patterns to enrich the aesthetic effect of the facade.

Beauty of symmetry

Generally speaking, the functional requirements of office buildings are relatively simple, and there are fewer restrictions on function and content when determining the body shape. Therefore, when determining the body shape, we should first consider whether the building height is in harmony with the surrounding environment and its influence on the city appearance. Building a single main building on an empty site, symmetrical style can better meet the requirements of public aesthetics, especially the shape of the building itself should pay attention to the effects from all angles to avoid "a thin sheet" shape. For example, before the building of the Ministry of Construction was connected to the north and south wings, the masses called it the "Nine Dragon Wall" and the "Great Wall of the People". After the construction of the north-south annex building, the situation has completely changed. It can be seen that symmetry is very important for a large office building.

According to Han Aixing, former deputy director of the Standard and Quota Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the main building and annex building were built and rebuilt several times separately. For the first time, only six floors of the main building were built, and then four floors of the north-south annex building were built. Later, it was found that the main building was not high enough, and the seventh floor of the main building was added. After the addition of the main building, it was found that the annex building was not high enough, and finally the fifth floor of the north-south annex building was added. Finally, the current architectural complex pattern of the main building and the annex building was formed.

See the foundation for details.

In architectural design, the architect fully considered the traditional elements of China architecture, combined with local residential styles, stone buildings, decorative patterns, etc., and finally presented both the historical and cultural heritage of China architecture and the diversity, reflecting the characteristics of national architecture. For example, creatively drawing lessons from the overhanging practice of ancient stone chambers more than 1,000 years ago, the double eaves are decorated with glazed hooks and dripping water, and the traditional patterns such as moving beam heads, sparrows and colored paintings are skillfully used to express architectural details, especially the overhanging eaves, tiles, porches, stone pillars and stone steps. The cornice is picked out by reinforced concrete rafters with reference to the cornice-overhanging technology of traditional buildings in China. Due to repeated full-scale model tests in design, the cornice proportion and size are very appropriate. The exterior wall is made of water brush stone, which is durable.

Another detail of the office building of the Ministry of Construction is very reasonable, that is, the main staircase in the office building is set in an obvious position facing the gate. Because the general working hours are concentrated, there are many contacts between the upper and lower floors during office hours, and spacious stairs are particularly suitable. At the same time, in addition to the main staircase, another set of stairs is set on the north and south sides respectively, which is beneficial to solve the problem of crowded people going upstairs and downstairs during peak hours.

Exquisite and elegant demeanor

The architectural details are decorated with simplified China traditional architectural components and patterns, which reflects the traditional architectural style of China. The decorative patterns distributed in various positions of the building are ingenious and exquisite everywhere, which makes the whole building add delicate artistic beauty to its majesty.

remain unshakable and become even firmer as time goes by

According to Gong Deshun’s recollection, the detailed treatment of this building was inspired by the traditional stone buildings in China. The cornice overhang and the size and spacing of the rafters were made of plywood, which were put in place and checked repeatedly at the construction site before they were finally determined.

Gong Deshun raised the parapet on the roof of the five-story conference room on both sides and connected the eaves on the sixth floor to a horizontal plane. The eaves on the sixth and seventh floors and the main entrance and exit porches were designed as small slopes with rafters under the eaves picked out one by one. The architectural details were handled perfectly and played a good aesthetic effect on the facade. The whole building is simple and proper, solemn and generous, simple and magnificent. After decades of tests, it is still a classic building with unique style and is deeply loved by the broad masses of the people.

Mr. Xu Ronglie, the former chief engineer of the Ministry of Construction, once recalled: "The majestic, solemn, elegant, generous and China-rich architectural charm emanating from the artistic style of the office building of the Ministry of Construction has greatly attracted many experts, scholars and people in the industry at home and abroad, especially us young people. After more than half a century of ups and downs, this building is still one of the proud leaders among many high-rise buildings in Beijing. "

Green energy saving

Compared with the classic appearance, the interior space of the building is also remarkable. Whether it is corridor or indoor office space, it shows spacious and bright atmosphere. In order to save energy, the designed wall is thick and the ratio of window to wall is moderate, which can not only meet the lighting requirements, but also achieve the thermal insulation effect, and has the comfort of warm in winter and cool in summer.

At that time, the original appearance of the wooden window was designed, and the two-story window had good thermal insulation effect. According to the memories of the leaders who used to work here, the original windows also have external shading, roller blinds and shading pages made of pine.

After 2000, a maintenance and decoration was carried out, the building was strengthened and the windows were replaced.

Architectural model

The Beijing Declaration issued at the 20th International Association of Construction (Beijing) Conference held in 1999 pointed out that the development direction of world architecture in the 21st century will be "the localization of modern architecture and the modernization of regional architecture", and the idea of creating "Chinese but new" local modern architecture has risen again, that is, China’s modern architecture is localized, not imported. From this point of view, looking at the office building of the Ministry of Construction today, although it has experienced nearly 70 years of wind and rain, it still stands tall, full of traditional architectural cultural elements, and embodies the modern, cutting-edge and fashion trends, and is still an important representative building to carry forward China’s traditional architectural culture.

Feng Jicai, a famous writer, once said, "Historical buildings retain a historical space. Because this space still exists, history becomes beyond doubt. In the meantime, history seems to be suddenly enlarged by flesh and blood. The past life forms seem to be called back at any time. Those empty narratives in the history books are all magically and richly resurrected here, and even the spirit of the past can be truly touched. "

Every autumn, the two ginkgo trees in front of the office building will bring gorgeous colors, attracting office workers and residents in nearby communities to enjoy the scenery and take pictures, which reflects the vitality and vitality of the solemn and elegant office building.

tag

The rain and the hurricane are one child, making contributions to the Sanli River.

The office building of the Ministry of Construction is the representative and epitome of Beijing’s modern administrative office building. After nearly 70 years of wind and rain, it is still majestic, solemn, elegant, generous and simple, with the charm of China traditional architecture, and is hailed as a milestone of China’s architectural modernization.

Compared with ancient buildings with a heavy history, the office building of the Ministry of Construction is closer to our work and life, which embodies the life memories of several generations of builders. The people who have worked in this building from generation to generation, although they have experienced rapid modernization changes, feel extremely cordial and familiar whenever they see it. At the same time, it is an indispensable part of a city’s historical memory, reflecting the history and inheritance of Beijing’s capital.

People’s Daily: On New Year’s Eve, everything you eat and don’t eat has a head start.

  The Spring Festival is the most important festival in Chinese. One of the most important contents of the Spring Festival is the New Year’s Eve dinner.

  Dinner on New Year’s Eve is called New Year’s Eve.

  New Year’s Eve is very important, and many places call it "family fun", which is an important family banquet. Amid the cheerful firecrackers and the laughter and laughter of the Spring Festival Gala broadcast by CCTV, it is the warmest and happiest moment in the world for the whole family to sit together, share wine and delicacies, and bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year together. Especially for the elderly, the reunion of their families has comforted and satisfied them spiritually. Looking at healthy children and lively and lovely children and grandchildren, the smile of the elderly is more stretched and warm than ever.

  It can be said that the New Year’s Eve dinner is the most delicious, sweet and sometimes the most expensive dish in a year. More than 30 years ago, people were looking forward to the Chinese New Year. In a way, they were looking forward to this "big meal". Children, in particular, entered the "twelfth lunar month" gate and counted them with their fingers. I remember when I was a child, most of the neighbors in the courtyard were living in poverty, and there were few opportunities to eat meat and fish at ordinary times, not to mention those famous cooking and fancy pasta. When friends get together and talk about eating good food, they are all looking forward to the New Year, especially the New Year’s Eve. The dishes of New Year’s Eve are the most in a year, both vegetarian and cold and hot. Generally, there are at least 8 dishes and more than a dozen. Only then will the adults let the children eat.

  In fact, the so-called good things that were eaten at the New Year’s Eve dinner in those days are as common as ever at today’s dinner table, and can be eaten every day. But not then. Because of the lack of materials, most of them are supplied by ticket. Even if you have some money, you can’t buy what you want. Pork, fish, peanut oil, preserved eggs, beer, sugar, tea, etc. are all rationed according to the population or family, and supplied by ticket. National Day, New Year’s Day and Spring Festival sometimes increase the supply items and quantity, for example, each person can supply half a catty of pork, and each household can buy two jins of candy and several boxes of Daqianmen cigarettes. Many families will "diet" and "cut down on meat" during the period near the Chinese New Year. I haven’t seen meat stars in the dishes for more than ten days, so I should eat as little white flour as possible and keep steamed buns. Pork tickets are saved and bought at one time on the eve of Chinese New Year. In this way, in addition to keeping the bag for jiaozi, you can also stir-fry rice flour meat and even stew braised pork. Once such a "reduced" stomach is released, it is followed by a sharp increase in gastrointestinal diseases. Every year on the 30th, the hospital is very busy. The patient has nothing else, most of which are the problems that come out. In the final analysis, it is the word "poor" that caused the disaster.

  More importantly, the New Year’s Eve is an auspicious day for family reunion. On New Year’s Eve, no matter how far apart and how busy the work is, people always want to go back to their homes, have a reunion dinner and meet their loved ones who miss them so much. Spring Festival travel rush is the largest and most spectacular "migration" to go home in the world, and those "migration troops" who have worked tirelessly and traveled long distances in anxious to return all expect to arrive before the New Year’s Eve. The New Year’s Eve dinner has become a signal and beacon to call people home, which goes far beyond the meaning of a meal. In some families, you will see such a scene: there is a seat and a pair of chopsticks in front of the dining table, but no one is there. This means that the relatives of this family did not arrive in time for various reasons, or could not go home to reunite with their relatives, but the family could not forget him. Put tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, and take the right to be a relative among them. Therefore, many dishes on the New Year’s Eve are also born from this. "Reunion", "family happiness" and "good luck at the head" all contain the wish to pray for family safety and happiness.

  Many people are very particular about the New Year’s Eve dinner, and they have everything to say about whether they eat or not. Even in the era of food shortage, people showed their magical powers and tried their best to get symbolic food for good luck. Of course, every nation has its own customs and habits, and there are great differences between the north and the south. For example, southerners like to eat rice dumplings, rice cakes, glutinous rice balls, and some eat raw garlic and preserved eggs. Among them, the meaning of rice cake is the most obvious: "sticky (sticky) high (cake) every year", which is auspicious and wishful, and is interpreted as the meaning of rising year by year. The traditional food of northerners is mainly pasta, and jiaozi is the most common Chinese New Year food, which is also a traditional habit with a long history. Some say that it appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some say that it was officially listed as a must-eat thing for the New Year from the Han Dynasty, and some say it was the Tang Dynasty. In many places, on New Year’s Eve, when the bell rings at twelve o’clock, they begin to eat jiaozi. Therefore, it is the time of the year, which means "making friends at a younger age", and because the white-flour jiaozi is shaped like a silver ingot, and a pot of pots on the table symbolizes "making a fortune in the New Year, and the ingot rolls in", so many people will go to the bank in advance to change some brand-new coins, or sterilize the old coins with boiling water and pack them into jiaozi with stuffing. This has great appeal to children. On New Year’s Eve, no matter how sleepy or tired I am, I just wait to eat jiaozi and eat coins, and I am happy. Then there is fish, which is also indispensable for the New Year’s Eve, and you can’t eat it all. You have to leave a little, which means "more than one year."

  With the improvement of living standards, people’s attitude towards New Year’s Eve has become more and more persistent, more and more loving and, of course, more rational. Those who go out to work, work outside the home, and relatives who are temporarily separated from their families for various reasons, whether they have made a fortune or are down and out of luck, are heading for home near the end of the year, all looking forward to catching up with this extraordinary dinner. However, few people bother about the New Year’s Eve. Because people don’t care what they eat or drink, and they don’t look forward to the delicious food that they can enjoy on the New Year’s Eve as before. The New Year’s Eve dinner has gone far beyond the simple appetite temptation. People are more concerned about and attached to the feelings between their loved ones and the warmth of home brought by the New Year’s Eve dinner. These are the most abundant New Year’s Eve dinners!

More than a fashion show! Behind these red carpets, there are hidden secrets of movies.


Special feature of 1905 film network In the past half month, major awards ceremonies such as Golden Rooster Award for Chinese Film, Flying Award for Chinese TV Series and Golden Eagle Award for Chinese TV have been held one after another, and all kinds of professional awards have been awarded.


We witnessed the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress again after a lapse of 32 years, and the trophy for Best Actor in the new subject was won by. The group photo of two generations of filmmakers backstage is a shared glory, but also a light and shadow inheritance.



At the same time, with "In the World" won the Golden Eagle Award again, let the audience see the value of this award. The trophies (Minning Town), (In the World) and (Merit) also prove that good actors are never buried.


This is the blessing of a good actor, and more blessings are behind.However, do you really think that every red carpet is just a pure "show"?



In addition to these dazzling awards, on the red carpet of the annual awards ceremony, the actors’ "battle shirts" are always concerned by the outside world. The fashionable terms such as high definition and high luxury are the labels that everyone puts on the topic list, and those blessed works are their absolute weapons to win.


Perhaps, the red carpet should be opened like this … …


01.


Whether it’s the Golden Rooster Award red carpet or the opening and closing red carpets of Shanghai International Film Festival and Beijing International Film Festival in previous years, you can always see various crews making their debut with their works.


As the young actor said, "bringing works to the red carpet didn’t embarrass the players!" " His crew is the film that finally won two trophies: best screenwriter and best editing.



In addition to their finalists and appearances, Zhu Yilong and his new work, together with the director and another star, made their second appearance on the red carpet that night.



It is true that on the red carpet of the annual film festival, there are always many cast members who will meet the audience in the future. After all, the protagonist here is not a star, but a movie.


In addition to "She Disappeared", there are also films directed and acted by himself, and he appeared with another starring role.



The crew is directed, starring and; The crew is the director and starring.


Perhaps the most dazzling thing of the night was the first appearance of the cast’s full lineup team. Just "++"has become everyone’s concern.



After all, any information officer announcement of the movie Wandering Earth 2 will affect the curiosity of the outside world.


Previously, at the Beijing International Film Festival, one of the film’s founders was the chairman of the International Awards Committee of this year’s film festival, and director Frant Gwo and starring Wu Jing happened to be members of the jury. On this occasion, during the opening of the red carpet, the filmmaker officially announced for the first time that Li Xuejian, an "old play bone", had joined Wandering Earth 2.



02.


There is no denying that for these films to be shown, every red carpet is an opportunity for publicity.Especially when all kinds of film crews appear at the same time, how to make the audience remember them is what the staff behind each crew has to pay attention to, except for the lineup of Cass.


On the red carpet of this year’s Golden Rooster Awards, two actresses, Ni Ni and Janice Man, also chose green clothes, which surprised many people with their direct vision.



That night, the topic of # Wang Baoqiang wearing green bristlegrass on the red carpet rushed to the hot search, but the audience noticed Wang Baoqiang and Shi Pengyuan. Although the two male filmmakers didn’t have gorgeous dresses, their careful collocation in clothes still caught people’s attention.


It was soon discovered that this "dog’s tail grass" was closely related to the movie "In the octagonal cage".



The film tells an inspirational story of an unhappy ordinary person helping a group of children find a way out of life. The dog’s tail grass symbolizes tenacity and unyielding, symbolizing that the protagonist in the movie is the same, with tenacious vitality, and still grows tenaciously in spite of the wind and rain.



Similar small thoughts also appeared on the red carpet at the closing ceremony of Golden Rooster last year.


In the film (then titled "No Spring Will Come"), the director,,, and co-starred and appeared. There are different flowers on the suits of six men. The flower language of each flower is just a tribute to the ordinary you and me in life.


The film was originally planned to meet the audience in the spring. "This form also has a sense of ritual in spring."



This simplest connection makes the audience understand the original intention and content expression of this film.


"So there is a topic, can’t let the red carpet just walk the red carpet. Each unreleased film will produce materials, and if there is special content, it will naturally be more concerned. " Xiao Yun, a staff member engaged in film promotion and marketing, talked about it.


In addition, many crews made their debut and tried their best. "It is difficult for us to participate except what the actors wear, but what props they take, such as accessories, or what actions they do on the red carpet, or even what they say in the interview on the red carpet, and what they can design, we must plan. These contents are ultimately settled in the film promotion service, and most of the actors will actively cooperate. "



Of course, in Xiao Yun’s work experience, there have been cases where such designs have not been realized because of actors. "But this is a rare case."


The film crew served by Xiao Bu also walked the golden rooster red carpet this year. The team designed the corresponding props for this purpose, and also persuaded the actors to take the props on the red carpet. But unfortunately, in the end, these contents were not realized because of security and other issues.She also pointed out that there are still some filmmakers who will participate in the actors’ clothing suggestions.


The first appearance of the film crew was on the red carpet of the Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony in 2020, just after the crew and crew walked down the red carpet. He immediately turned around and "changed clothes" as he ran, and assembled with the Hi, Mom crew.



At this time, the other three stars, and, have been dressed in the 1980s and holding objects from that era, waiting for Shen Teng’s "return" at the beginning of the red carpet.


28 bicycles and radios … … Let the outside world know Hi, Mom’s temperament in advance.



When the film first appeared on the red carpet at the opening of the Shanghai International Film Festival in 2021, one of the main creators introduced this group of new actors to the audience as an instructor in the film.


As one of the leading actors, with their collective salute and the scenes shouted one by one, the "sense of crossing" between the film and reality arises spontaneously.



Especially after the audience watched the movie, this collective appearance was all a "famous scene".


In recent years, there have always been many "classic appearances" at the Shanghai International Film Festival.After the film crew returned from Cannes, the opening ceremony of the film festival became their collective debut in China. As soon as he stepped onto the stage, the scene switched to more rhythmic music, and the main creator danced with it, while the director introduced, "This is the music in the movie."



The host on the side also ridiculed that this is the first time that a crew has used dance to interpret the plot on the red carpet. After the dance, everyone followed the "16-step dance" and talked about the plot and the harvest of starring in "The Party at South Station". As the director finally set the tone, "I hope to show the dance steps of this movie to the audience on the big screen as soon as possible."


It is true that after watching the movie, everyone found that this "16-step dance" has all the special significance.



From the red carpet to the award ceremony, this kind of interaction between actors and their works, and the feeling of resonance on the same screen may be another connection between the audience and the film after the big screen.


Non-legacy live broadcast, let the younger generation and traditional art go in both directions.

   Comments on live broadcast helping traditional culture: live broadcast, let the younger generation and traditional art go in both directions.

    Xinhuanet Beijing, March 17th (Reporter Chen Tingyu) Intangible arts such as opera, folk music, traditional dance and traditional handicrafts are being understood and loved by the younger generation such as "post-00" and "post-90" through live broadcast. Love the "quintessence of the country" and pursue the "tide of the country". When watching and enjoying the colorful non-legacy projects such as Huagu Opera and Yangxi Opera, the younger generation is cultivating deep local identity and cultural self-confidence. In the digital era, intangible cultural heritage, a treasure of traditional culture, is entering the daily life of young people.

    In recent years, more and more non-legacy practitioners have entered the live broadcast room and put the long-lost minority art on the second stage of live broadcast. Nowadays, xiang opera and Dongting fishing songs are no longer unfamiliar terms in textbooks, but are "seen" by more and more young people, and they are also loved from all over the world.

    A few days ago, at the Hunan Station of the intangible anchor salon jointly sponsored by Tsinghua University Cultural and Creative Development Research Institute and Tik Tok, Xiao Yan, a representative of Tik Tok live broadcast business, introduced that in the past year, the cumulative number of intangible live broadcasts in Hunan Province exceeded 150,000, and the number of such live broadcasts exceeded 640 million, a year-on-year increase of 178%; 17,000 Hunan non-legacy anchors broadcast in Tik Tok, with a cumulative broadcast duration of over 2.93 million hours, up 95% year-on-year. It is not difficult to find that watching intangible cultural heritage live in Tik Tok has become the daily life of Hunan audience.

    According to the data of Tik Tok Platform, in the past year, the live broadcast of intangible cultural heritage in Tik Tok averaged 1,617 performances per day, with the total number of performances increasing by 642% year-on-year. The number of non-legacy anchors who received rewards increased by 427% year-on-year, and the amount of rewards increased by 533% year-on-year. We also found that the income of non-genetic inheritors increased by 34% year-on-year, of which the sales of non-legacy goods increased by 668% year-on-year. Now, it has become a new trend across regions to listen to opera, enjoy national music and watch the intangible cultural heritage in the live broadcast room.

    It is gratifying that many traditional performances and skills are connected with modern young people through non-legacy live broadcasts. For example, Huagu Opera, a national intangible representative project, gained wide popularity from college students to "silver-haired people" in the live broadcast room. At the same time, Huagu Opera, Guzheng and Crosstalk are also the most praised performing arts in Hunan Province.

The picture shows Yi Zhenghong, a young actor of the Drama Heritage Center in Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province and the anchor of Tik Tok Huagu Opera, performing at the Hunan Station of the Intangible Anchor Salon.

    How to arouse the public’s enthusiasm for the protection of intangible heritage and drive more young people to participate in the inheritance of intangible heritage has always been an unresolved problem.

    Yan Yunyu, the anchor of Tik Tok Erhu, believes that the live broadcast has narrowed the distance between intangible cultural heritage practitioners and the audience, and even promoted the popularity of intangible cultural heritage. Live broadcast and short video make the ancient intangible heritage glow with the glory of the times, and it is also known and loved by more and more young people.

    Cao Min, deputy secretary-general of Guzheng Art Committee of Hunan National Orchestral Society, national third-class performer and Tik Tok Guzheng anchor, said that in modern times with advanced technology, the intangible cultural heritage with a long history is gradually fading out of people’s daily life, and Guzheng is one of them. However, in the fast-paced social life, traditional culture and music are like a good medicine that can comfort the soul. We should rebuild the sense of identity of traditional culture in a way that is more acceptable and recognized by modern people. The live broadcast in Tik Tok has enabled folk music to find a modern bosom friend.

    Guqin art is a new form with the longest history and continuous inheritance in China, and it is a master of instrumental art.. Spreading to the public, especially teenagers, is an important part of the inheritance and protection of Guqin art.

    According to Lynne, an associate researcher at the Music Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Art and a representative inheritor of the national intangible guqin art, as early as 2006, the Chinese Academy of Art and the China Intangible Cultural Genetic Protection Center established and planned the activities of guqin art entering universities, with the active participation of local guqin artists and non-governmental organizations, and publicized and educated the public guqin art for college students nationwide. Subsequently, the object of communication activities has gradually changed from university teachers and students to cover the vast number of primary and secondary school students and young guqin lovers. The purpose of these activities is to sow childlike innocence and hand over the intangible art to the future. Nowadays, the new media communication mode has brought new experience and hope to these works.

    To a certain extent, the non-legacy live broadcast is still a form of universal education.

    Cao Min believes that the live teaching of art courses is a more advanced mode, which solves the problem of uneven art education resources. In the past, children in the mountains had to be exposed to advanced art education unless they went out of the mountains and went to first-and second-tier cities, which required huge efforts and often had little chance. Now through the live broadcast platform, children have the opportunity to appreciate traditional culture and skills, enriching people’s spiritual world and real life. At the same time, anchors can also use their real talents to get recognition and feedback from fans, such as praise and reward, forming a virtuous circle of two-way complementarity.

    At the same time, the current traditional handicrafts and non-legacy arts are also facing the bottleneck of lack of successors, and there has been a talent gap, while new communication methods such as live broadcast have brought traditional arts closer to young people.

    Lian Chunhai, a researcher at the Institute of Fine Arts of the Chinese Academy of Art, said that the age of practitioners of traditional handicrafts is gradually aging, and it takes a long time to learn traditional skills, so there is a talent gap. In the new media era, the emergence of live broadcast, short video and other forms of communication has created new opportunities for the spread of traditional handicrafts and brought new ideas for the inheritance of traditional arts.

    Zheng Zhang, vice president of Tsinghua University School of Journalism and Communication, said that in order to invite many non-genetic inheritors around and reach more young people, it is necessary to use diversified technical means to give young people access to high-quality and high-level cultural content products. Intangible art can be combined with digital new media and technical means, which is a two-way process for the younger generation and traditional art.

    It is hoped that national music and traditional culture will be popular again and "tidal" with the help of modern communication methods such as live broadcast and new media platforms, and will be perceived, loved and passed on by more young people.
