[Introduction to Zhiyuan Xin] Grok of xAI opened its source as scheduled after seven days! Open the code behind Grok and let Musk slap his face at OpenAI. There are 8 MOEs with 314 billion parameters, and the weight structure is fully open. As soon as the project is launched, it has already snapped up 6k stars on GitHub.

When it comes to doing it, Grok of Musk xAI is really open source as scheduled!

Just now, xAI officially released the weight and architecture of the 314 billion parameter hybrid expert model Grok-1.

With a parameter of 314 billion, Grok-1 has become the largest open source LLM so far, four times that of Llama 2.

At present, xAI has not disclosed more information about Grok-1.

The information released by official website is as follows-

-The basic model is trained on a large amount of text data and has not been fine-tuned for any specific task.

The MoE of the-314B parameter has a weight of 25% that is active on a given token.

-In October, 2023, xAI started training from scratch using a custom training stack based on JAX and Rust.

Once online GitHub, Grok snapped up 6k stars and 586 Fork.

Project address: https://github.com/xai-org/grok-1.

Musk did not forget to ridicule OpenAI, "Tell us more about the" open "part of OpenAI …"

The new york Times commented that the original code behind the open source Gork is an upgrade of the future battle that the richest man in the world controls AI.

Will open source make technology safer or will it make it more abusive?

Musk, an "open source supporter", set an example and got involved in this heated debate in the AI community, and gave the answer with actions.

Xiao Zha also commented on Grok just now. "It didn’t really impress people. There are too many parameters of 314 billion. You need a bunch of H100, but I have already bought it."

A magnetic chain, the world’s first largest model open source.

This time, xAI open source Grok-1 is licensed by Apache-2.0, so users can freely use, modify and distribute the software.

The repository contains JAX sample code for loading and running the Grok-1 open source weight model.

Users need to download checkpoint, put the ckpt-0 directory in checkpoint, and then run the following code to test:

pip install -r requirements.txtpython run.py

This script will load the checkpoint and the samples in the model on the test input.

Because the model is large and the parameters reach 314B, a computer with enough GPU memory is needed to test the model with sample code.

Moreover, because the implementation efficiency of MoE layer in this repository is not high, this implementation is chosen to avoid the need to customize the kernel to verify the correctness of the model.

Through the Torrent client and the following magnetic link, you can download the weights.

magnet:? xt=urn:btih:5f96d43576e3d386c9ba65b883210a393b68210e&tr=https%3A%2F%2Facademictorrents.com%2Fannounce.php& tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337%2Fannounce

More details

Andrew Kean Gao, a Stanford researcher, browsed model.py and introduced more information about the architecture of Grok. There are no additional clauses for the 314 billion parameters.

8 mixed experts (2 active experts), 860B active parameters. It uses rotation embedding instead of fixed position embedding.

-tokenizer vocabulary: 131,072 (similar to GPT-4) is equivalent to 2 17.

-Embedded size: 6144(48*128)

-Transformer layer: 64 (each layer has a decoding layer: multi-head attention block and density block)

-Key size: 128

Multi-head attention module: there are 48 query headers and 8 key values.

Dense block (dense feedforward block):

-Width factor: 8

-The hidden layer size is 32768.

Each token selects 2 out of 8 experts.

The embedding size of the rotation position is 6144, which is meaningful, and it is the same as the input embedding size of the model.

-Context length: 8192 token

-Accuracy: bf16

Finally, attach a summary map.

Netizen: Open source battle is coming.

The AI community is already boiling!

The technical community points out that the highlight of Grok is the use of GeGLU and normalization method in the forward feedback layer, and the use of interesting sandwich norm technique.

Even OpenAI employees have expressed their strong interest in Grok.

Jim Fan, a senior scientist in NVIDIA, said, "The largest open source model in history was trained by a world-class team and released through the magnetic chain Apache 2.0.

314B parameter, mixed expert model (8 experts and 2 active). Even the active parameter scale (86B) exceeds the largest Llama model. I can’t wait to see the benchmark results and what kind of applications people can build with it. "

Sebastian Raschka, an AI researcher, said that Grok is more open-source than other open-source modular models that usually have restrictions on use. However, it is less open source than Pythia, Bloom and Olmo, which provide training code and reproducible data sets.

Boris Dayma, the founder of Craiyon, analyzed the code of Grok-1 in detail.

Netizen indigo said that in order to "understand the universe", it seems that the xAI team deliberately set the parameter as "pi 314B", which is the largest open source model at present. It is expected that Llama 3 will join Grok’s open source battle in June this year.

After Grok opened the source, a big wave of fine-tuning is coming.

The first generation Grok has surpassed Llama-2-70B.

In November, 2023, xAI launched its first generation of big language model, Grok, and formally joined the big model war.

At that time, Grok used Twitter as part of the "Premium+" subscription service, with a monthly fee of $16.

XAI said that Grok’s design was inspired by The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which can answer almost all questions and help people pursue understanding and knowledge regardless of background or political stance.

Grok’s original version, Grok-0, had 33 billion parameters, and then xAI introduced Grok-1, which was improved several times to support the Grok chat robot on X.

According to the data released by xAI, in a series of benchmark tests such as GSM8K, HumanEval and MMLU, Grok-1 outperformed LLMA-2-70b and GPT-3.5, although it was far from GPT-4.

At that time, Grok was not only able to handle the user content generated in real time on the X platform, but also had a little sense of humor, which injected a little vitality into the simple AI.

While providing information about the latest hot events (whether political or sports), it can also be clever and even occasionally sarcastic.

Why did Musk choose open source?

After mocking OpenAI as "CloseAI" several times, Musk really chose to open his own big model.

Of course, there must be commercial considerations behind this.

As a market leader, OpenAI has no reason to open source the model code behind ChatGPT.

Now, by releasing Grok’s code, Musk firmly rooted himself in the latter camp. This decision may make his xAI surpass Meta and Mistral AI.

Llama’s open source has brought many benefits to Meta, and almost made Xiaozha climb out of the quagmire of the meta-universe.

Mistral AI, which is just a small start-up, is also famous for its open source strategy and is recognized by the industry as "OpenAI in Europe".

The open source version may encourage developers and potential customers to adopt their own models more quickly, which actually plays a marketing role.

The feedback and improvement from the developer community on the open source version of Grok may also help xAI to speed up the development of new versions, which can choose to open source or keep exclusive rights.

For example, like Mistral, it promises to continue to release open source versions while retaining the most advanced models for paying customers.

Musk has always been a supporter of open source technology. Even Tesla has opened the source code of some parts of the car, and his social media platform X has published some algorithms for content ranking.

"There is still work to be done, but this platform is by far the most transparent, truth-oriented and not a high threshold platform," Musk said today in response to comments on the open source X recommendation algorithm.

Although OpenAI is still far ahead in the AI field, the war between open source and closed source is far from over.

Should the AI model be open source? Some people think that this powerful technology must be protected from intruders, while others insist that the advantages of open source absolutely outweigh the disadvantages.

As a market leader, OpenAI has no reason to open source the model code behind ChatGPT.

Now, by releasing Grok’s code, Musk firmly rooted himself in the latter camp.

This decision may enable his xAI to finally surpass Meta and Mistral AI.

  According to the data, the control project of the project crosses beijing-shanghai railway and crosses the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, and it is constructed synchronously with three projects and four bridges of the track line and Tuanhe Road, and it is successfully completed by using the "skylight point" of railway transportation in 90 minutes in the morning. Make full use of BIM technology in the process of project implementation, generate the whole deduction before turning, accurately calculate and improve the control ability, and greatly reduce the safety risk. The synchronous swivel project of "Three Lines and Four Bridges" led by Beijing Investment Co., Ltd. pioneered the cluster swivel construction of long-span bridges across the railway in China.

It is very important to reduce the risk of mixed infection of respiratory diseases and do a good job of prevention

  At present, mycoplasma pneumoniae, influenza, streptococcus pneumoniae and other respiratory pathogens are in the epidemic stage, many people are recruited, and some people have mixed infections with multiple pathogens. What is mixed infection? Who is prone to mixed infection? How to prevent it? Look at the authoritative answer.

  What are the more popular pathogens at present?

  Autumn and winter are the seasons with high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases in children. In addition to mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, influenza virus, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus and so on have appeared one after another. This is in line with the previous fashion trend.

  At present, the most popular pathogens are mycoplasma pneumoniae, influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus and streptococcus pneumoniae. These respiratory tract infections usually have symptoms such as cough, expectoration, runny nose, fever and general fatigue.

  Mixed infection means that more than two pathogens are infected at the same time. Most clinical "mixed infections" are mainly the combination of viruses, bacteria and mycoplasma.

  Who is prone to mixed infection?

  Children, the elderly and people with basic diseases are susceptible to respiratory diseases, and they are also more prone to mixed infection of multiple pathogens. Children should strengthen protection, avoid cross-infection, avoid contact with patients, and reduce the chance of being infected.

  There is mixed infection, how to treat it?

  After mixed infection, early differential diagnosis is very important. Now most medical institutions can detect influenza virus, Covid-19 and mycoplasma, which is helpful to implement targeted treatment as soon as possible.

  If influenza or Covid-19 is complicated with mycoplasma infection or bacterial infection, it is usually necessary to add antibacterial drugs, and at the same time give symptomatic treatment such as fever reduction, cough relieving and phlegm elimination, but the use of antibacterial drugs needs the guidance of doctors. For most patients, after taking medicine, drinking plenty of water and taking enough rest according to the doctor’s advice, the condition can be relieved in 1 to 2 weeks.

  If the fever lasts for more than 72 hours or the body temperature exceeds 40℃, or if you cough frequently, it will affect your normal life, or if you have symptoms such as chest pain, wheezing, hemoptysis, shortness of breath or dyspnea, poor spirit and frequent vomiting, you should go to the hospital in time.

  How to prevent mixed infection?

  Vaccination against influenza is a safe and effective way to prevent influenza, which can effectively reduce the risk of influenza virus infection, hospitalization and serious illness and death in autumn and winter. It is recommended that all ≥ People who are 6 months old and have no vaccination contraindications are actively vaccinated against influenza.

  In daily life, you should wash your hands frequently, open more windows for ventilation, cover your nose and mouth as much as possible when coughing or sneezing, and wear a mask when necessary. During the epidemic period of respiratory diseases, try to reduce going to places where people gather.

  Keep enough sleep and eat high-quality protein and foods rich in vitamin A and vitamin C in your diet. Do a good job in family hygiene. If any family member has respiratory tract infection, pay attention to isolation. People with chronic respiratory diseases or other chronic basic diseases should try their best to reduce going to places where people gather.

Investigation on the chaos of blind roads in Shijiazhuang: I wonder what blind people are afraid to go ahead.

Blind people dare not take the blind road: I don’t know what is waiting for me ahead.

On the sidewalks of the city, there is always a strip of blind roads. For people with visual impairment, the blind road is a "static eye". They judge the direction of the road through the detection of the blind road brick by their feet and blind poles. However, in an interview recently, the reporter found that there are many obstacles on the blind road in Shijiazhuang street, which seriously affects the travel of the blind and even brings them danger.

phenomenon

The bike is parked on the blind road.

On both sides of the blind road on the street sidewalk, a row of cars stopped on one side, and a row of bicycles and electric cars stopped on the other side. The rear wheels of non-motor vehicles occupied a large part of the blind road. This is the scene that the reporter saw on a service road south of the intersection of Ping ‘an Street and Huai ‘an Road on the afternoon of July 31st.

"The blind road has become like this. We people with healthy eyesight have to be careful when passing. How can the blind get by?" A gentleman passing by here lamented.

On the streets of Shijiazhuang, such a situation is not uncommon.

The blind road in front of northland supermarket in Zhaiying South Street is occupied by a row of bicycles and electric cars. There was a special parking space for non-motor vehicles in front of the supermarket, but because the parking space was full, someone parked the car directly on the blind road for convenience.

There is also a phenomenon that the blind road is occupied by bicycles next to the entrance of Beiguo Mall Station and Northern Song Dynasty Station on Metro Line 1. Bicycles are parked in disorder, which not only occupies the blind road, but also blocks the pedestrian passage. Many pedestrians have no choice but to bypass the road.

In front of the book building, some cars parked directly on the blind road, and they stopped in a row, completely blocking the blind road.

Roadside facilities play "edge ball"

In some places, obstacles have been erected on blind roads.

On a section of service road near Jianhua Street on Donggang Road, a row of iron piles with a height of 20-30 cm were erected close to the blind road. In some places, even irons stood on the other side of the blind road, and a short section of iron piles even circled the blind road into the parking lot. The motor vehicles parked here just cover the blind road. A lady who lives nearby said worriedly, "For blind people, I’m afraid they will trip on such a blind road."

On Ping ‘an Avenue, there is a small iron house next to the blind road, which also makes people worry about the blind people passing through here, fearing that they will bump into the house when they walk.

Mahjong table on the blind road.

In addition to some vehicles or facilities occupying blind roads, some citizens also occupy blind roads when setting up stalls or having fun.

On Zhaiying South Street, several citizens put tables on the blind road and played mahjong, with some onlookers watching the battle.

The citizens who played mahjong said that they didn’t realize that they occupied the blind road. They just felt that it was cool under the tree and few people passed by, so they played mahjong here.

The reporter also saw the interruption of blind roads in many road sections. On a section of Ping ‘an Avenue, not only the blind road was interrupted, but also a manhole cover was tilted, which simply became a "trap".

affect

Blind people usually dare not go blind.

Wang Huaijie is the owner of a blind massage shop on Jianming North Road. He told reporters that he was hit by an obstacle on the blind road when he was walking. This kind of thing has happened many times. "Once in the street in front of my shop, a sorbet seller put the sorbet box on the blind road, and people were not around. I couldn’t see it, so I went straight ahead and bumped into the sorbet box. " Wang Huaijie said, fortunately, he walked slowly, and there was nothing serious, but he was shocked at that time.

"On the road in the middle of the tree, inclined cables with telephone poles pass through the blind road, high and low. Walking through there, you often stumble when you meet the low ones, and sometimes there are wires on the high ones. Once I went to my sister’s house and passed there, and I was scratched by wire. I don’t know who to look for, I can only admit that I am unlucky. " Wang Huaijie said, "Some blind roads are too close to tree pits or green areas, so we can’t see them. It’s easy to walk askew. If you accidentally step into a mud pit on rainy days, your shoes and socks are wet."

Speaking of the impact of obstacles on the blind, Wang Huaijie has a lot to say. He said that some vendors will occupy blind roads, which is not bad, and stall owners will remind themselves when they see it. The most troublesome thing is that sometimes bicycles or other sundries will appear on the blind road, and no one will remind him that he is often tripped or injured.

Mr. Geng, the owner of another massage shop, said that he also had the experience of almost tripping over wires. Sometimes the blind road disappears when walking, leaving him at a loss. "Now I don’t take the blind road, because I don’t know what’s waiting for me in front, or it’s safer to walk by the curb." Mr. Geng’s words represent the voices of many blind people. They usually prefer to walk along the road in the non-motor vehicle lane when they go out, thinking it is safer. Some blind friends simply avoid traveling alone, but they really need to go out and let their families accompany them.

It is understood that blind people need to constantly compose pictures in their minds when walking, and build a three-dimensional picture with the feeling and hearing under their feet. The blind stick in their hands is like a detector, and they can check the road conditions 1 meter away at any time. When there is an obstacle at a certain point in this picture, it is necessary to detour, and this obstacle point will stay in this three-dimensional picture for a long time, and they may not dare to pass here next time. Because of this, many blind people are afraid to take the blind road because of the obstacles on the blind road.

hotline

Which department can take care of the blind road?

The blind road is occupied. Is there any department that can manage it?

The reporter called the Shijiazhuang City Management Hotline 12319, and the staff of the urban management department said that this situation needs to be understood by relevant personnel before replying.

Then the reporter called the hotline of Shijiazhuang Mayor 12345, and the staff said that they would report it to the relevant departments and hand over the matter.

sound

Blind roads are the standard of urban civilization.

The blind road is the standard of a city civilization. For everyone who needs to use the blind road, this road is "just needed". However, due to various reasons, there are many obstacles on the blind road, which makes the blind people afraid to take the blind road, and the blind road has become a decoration.

Shi Yunfeng, vice chairman of Hebei Association for the Blind, said that the occupation of blind roads is an old topic, and the state has always attached great importance to the travel of blind people, requiring all urban public roads to have blind roads. However, in real life, many citizens simply don’t have this awareness. It is not uncommon for bicycles, cars and stalls to occupy blind roads. Although they have appealed for many years, they have not been well solved.

"Now it is not only unsafe for disabled people to walk in the blind road, but also dangerous. When they walk, the wire hanging on the blind road cuts their faces, or they rub against other people’s cars and even fall into the sewer when they walk. The blind road not only failed to guide the blind to walk, but became a’ road killer’. " Shi Yunfeng said that there are many irregularities in blind road construction. In some places, blind roads are often laid according to the direction of roads, but the practicality of blind roads is ignored. "Builders don’t use them, users don’t have the right to speak", so that there are manhole covers and stay wires in the middle of blind roads.

"There are currently 79,000 visually disabled people in Shijiazhuang, and the occupation of blind roads and the irregular construction have affected their lives; For the country, it is also a huge waste that blind roads can’t be used when they are built. " Shi Yunfeng called on the relevant departments to effectively deal with this situation, and hoped that blind friends as users could be involved in the design and laying stage of blind roads, so as to effectively make blind roads play its due role.

In view of ETC charges and other issues, the Ministry of Communications: comprehensive rectification to facilitate people’s travel

  Some artificial lanes are congested, the pass card is not recognized, and the toll amount is displayed incorrectly; Some car owners feel that the charges have increased … … Since January 1st, when the provincial toll station of expressway was cancelled and the new fast toll collection system was connected to the grid, the system was generally stable, but there were also some new situations and problems. On January 17, Wu Dejin, director of the Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport, and Wu Chungeng, spokesperson, responded to social concerns at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Transport.

  After the station was withdrawn, the freight car charging standard was re-approved.

  All localities will review the standards to prevent illegal price increases.

  Some car owners reported that the toll became higher after the station was withdrawn. Why did this happen? Is the charging method changed?

  "In the process of withdrawing the station, the toll standards of passenger cars in various places have not been adjusted. What has changed is the rounding rules of the fee and the accurate charging according to the actual traffic route; In order to realize the fast charging of trucks without stopping, the charging of trucks was changed from charging by weight to charging by model, and the provinces also re-approved the charging standard of trucks. " Wu Dejin said that when the Ministry of Transport previously asked all localities to verify the freight car toll standards, they should strictly follow the requirements of "two guarantees and one reduction", that is, to ensure that the overall burden of freight car tolls will not be increased under the same traffic volume conditions, and that the toll payable for each type of toll vehicle in the standard loading state will not be greater than the toll payable for the original toll by weight, so that the tonnage corresponding to the new toll standards will be at least 10% lower than the full tonnage.

  Wu Dejin introduced that before this, all localities had formulated relevant charging standards through legal pricing procedures, and all of them were made public and interpreted before January 5. The Ministry of Transport has also asked all localities to carry out in-depth review of charging standards. "Those who do not meet the requirements should be implemented by lowering the charging standards or differentiating fees, and they must never take the opportunity to raise prices in violation of regulations and increase the burden on enterprises. Regarding the problem of rising rates reflected by everyone, we will instruct the relevant provinces to verify one by one, find out the reasons, properly dispose of them according to law, and earnestly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the public. "

  Wu Dejin also told reporters that in order to further improve the transparency of charges, the Ministry of Transport is organizing relevant units to develop apps or small programs. "After being put into use, the public can directly input the starting and ending points and driving routes and find out the corresponding tolls by themselves."

  Troubleshoot system technical problems and improve information push settings.

  Strive to realize the stable operation of the charging system before the Spring Festival.

  At the beginning of the grid connection, the new toll collection system was unstable, which caused inconvenience to some ETC users’ normal travel. "In response to these problems, we set up a technical support team to organize technical backbone teams to guide provinces with weak foundations and unstable operations. Continuously optimize the system from the aspects of upgrading the entrance and exit lane software, optimizing the charging calculation module, and improving the recognition rate of ETC gantry system, so as to improve the operating efficiency and the accuracy of charging. " Wu Dejin told reporters that according to incomplete statistics, the lane system software has been upgraded more than 200 times, the rate calculation module has been upgraded and optimized more than 800 times, and the customer service APP and SMS applet have been tuned more than 30 times. "Recently, we have deployed ‘ Clear action ’ Re-examine and sort out the system, and strive to complete all the problems before the Spring Festival to promote the overall operation of the system. "

  There are also some car owners who report that they frequently receive short messages of deduction when using ETC to take the expressway, which is quite puzzling. There are also many car owners who hope to achieve "one-time settlement and display the total cost" for export.

  To solve these problems, Wu Dejin explained that after the station was withdrawn, the accurate charging of the expressway was carried out through the ETC portal system, that is, every time the vehicle passed an ETC portal, the system would charge accordingly. "The system should have formed a complete bill for the whole process of deduction, and then pushed it to the owner through SMS or APP. At present, the problem of frequent push is mainly due to the instability in the early stage of system switching, and sometimes the bills of sub-sections are pushed to customers. " Wu Dejin said that the Ministry of Transport has asked all localities to improve the information push system in strict accordance with the requirements of the technical scheme, so that the public can get relevant information accurately and timely.

  Regarding the issue that the ETC lane exit does not display the full toll, Wu Dejin responded that the new networked toll collection system is an offline system. When calculating the full toll of a car at the ETC lane exit, it is necessary to call the toll collection records of the car from various ETC portal systems along the way, and the calculation time of the system will be longer than the time for the vehicle to pass through the ETC lane (270 milliseconds). "According to ‘ Access priority ’ Principle, ETC vehicle ‘ Pass first, then deduct the fee ’ The new charging system informs the whole cost through SMS and APP inquiry, but in the initial stage of system switching, both methods were not implemented satisfactorily. "

  Wu Dejin told reporters that at present, the Ministry of Transport has deployed all localities to implement SMS push and APP inquiry in a timely manner in strict accordance with the technical plan to ensure that the public can know the toll amount in time. "At the same time, we have also studied and formulated the technical plan for the fee display according to the requirements of the majority of car owners. The next step will be to accelerate the related work and strive to implement it as soon as possible."

  Measures are being taken to keep the system running and the site unblocked.

  Never increase the travel burden of enterprises and people.

  "With the continuous running-in and improvement for more than half a month, the operation of the charging system is constantly improving." At the meeting, Wu Chungeng introduced the traffic situation since the withdrawal of the station with a set of data: At present, the ETC utilization rate of buses has remained at around 76%, and the ETC utilization rate of trucks has increased from 17.04% on January 1 to 19.65% on January 14; The speed of vehicles passing through the entrance and exit toll stations increased by 13% compared with the same period of last year; The number of toll stations with daily average congestion of more than 500 meters at entrances and exits decreased by 21% compared with the same period of last year, and the average congestion duration decreased by 10% compared with the same period of last year; The time for buses and trucks to cross provincial boundaries has been reduced from 15 seconds and 29 seconds to 2 seconds and 3 seconds respectively.

  "To cancel the provincial toll stations of expressways, it is necessary to comprehensively upgrade the software and hardware systems of all toll stations and toll lanes in the country to achieve interconnection, interoperability and mutual recognition." Wu Chungeng said that in view of the problems in the initial stage of system switching, the transportation system has taken a series of measures to ensure the system operation and smooth stops: establishing a three-level dispatching linkage mechanism between the Ministry of Transport, the Provincial Department of Transportation and the expressway toll station, and implementing 24-hour monitoring on the national network toll stations and expressway toll stations. If it is found that the length of congestion is more than 500 meters, the coordination mechanism will be started immediately to timely dispatch and divert to prevent large-scale traffic jams; Seriously accept complaints from the public, verify, deal with and reply to the clues reflected by the public one by one, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of highway users.

  "Next, we will earnestly improve our service awareness, solve the existing problems as soon as possible, and never give them to the broad masses of the people ‘ Add a block ’ Never increase the travel burden of enterprises and people, so that more people can enjoy the reform dividend and enjoy the benefits of convenient travel. " Wu Chungeng said.

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, it is necessary to choose an auspicious day to get out of the water, after offering sacrifices to the gods, install the dragon head and dragon tail, and then prepare for the race. Fujian and Taiwan went to Mazu Tempel to worship. In the past, when people sacrificed to the dragon gods, the atmosphere was very serious, and they prayed for blessings, good weather, evil spirits, disasters and differences, and everything went well. In Zigui, Qu Yuan’s hometown in Hubei Province, there is also a ceremony to worship Qu Yuan by rowing a dragon boat.

Hanging wormwood and calamus

In the Dragon Boat Festival, all kinds of flowers and plants that can drive away evil spirits and diseases have been arranged for a long time. "Ai", also known as Artemisia argyi and Artemisia argyi, contains volatile aromatic oil in its stems and leaves, and its peculiar fragrance can repel mosquitoes, flies and insect ants and purify the air. The leaves of Acorus calamus also contain volatile aromatic oil, which is a drug for refreshing, inducing resuscitation, strengthening bones and resolving stagnation, killing insects and sterilizing. People regard wormwood and calamus as one of the important contents of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival

Zongzi, or "Zongzi Zan", is commonly known as Zongzi. Its main materials are glutinous rice and stuffing, and it is wrapped with Indocalamus leaves (or Hiragi leaves) in various shapes, such as sharp corners and quadrangles. Zongzi has a long history and was originally used as a tribute to ancestors and gods. After it was introduced to the north, it was made of millet (produced in the north), which was called "horn millet". Due to the different eating habits in different places, zongzi has formed a north-south flavor; In terms of taste, zongzi can be divided into salty zongzi and sweet zongzi.

Herbal washing water

Herbal water, that is, Mulan decoction recorded in ancient books, can cure skin diseases and eliminate evil spirits by washing herbal water at noon. Midday is the most herbal day in a year, and medicines are everywhere. During the Dragon Boat Festival, many places in China have the custom of picking herbs, boiling herbs and bathing in water, and the medicinal properties of the Dragon Boat Festival herbs have played a vital role in it. The existing written records about the custom of washing herbs and water were first seen in the Book of Da Dai Li at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, but the orchids in this paper are not orchids, but Eupatorium odoratum or herbs of Compositae, which have fragrance and can be decocted and bathed in water. This custom still exists today and is widely popular. In Guangdong, children use wormwood and wheat medicine or flowers and plants such as wormwood, cattail, impatiens and magnolia to boil and wash, while teenagers and adult men go to rivers and beaches to take a shower, which is called washing dragon boat water to wash away bad luck and bring good luck. In Hunan, Guangxi and other places, cypress leaves, wind roots, wormwood, calamus, peach leaves and so on are boiled into liquid medicine for bathing.

Tie five-color silk thread

In the traditional culture of China, the five colors "blue, red, white, black and yellow" symbolizing the five elements are regarded as auspicious colors. On the Dragon Boat Festival, children should tie colorful silk threads on their wrists and ankles to ward off evil spirits. Traditionally, red, green, yellow, white and black thick silk threads were twisted into colored ropes and tied around children’s arms or necks. Since May 5th, it was not until the birthday of "Qi Nian Ma" on Tanabata that they were untied and burned together with Jin Jun.. There is also a saying that on the first rainy day after the Dragon Boat Festival, cutting off colorful threads and throwing them in the rain means that the river will wash away the plague and diseases, which means that it can get rid of evil spirits and stir up disasters, which will bring good luck for a year.

six

Draw a forehead

The custom of daubing children’s foreheads with realgar during the Dragon Boat Festival can ward off poisonous insects. The typical method is to draw the word "Wang" on children’s foreheads with realgar. One is to borrow realgar to drive away the poison, and the other is to borrow tiger’s forehead ("Wang" is like a tiger, and the tiger is the king of beasts, because it is replaced by a tiger) to suppress evil spirits. In addition to the forehead, nose and ears, it can also be applied elsewhere, with the same intention.

Avoid five poisons

Due to the hot and dry weather in summer in the north, people are prone to illness and plagues are also prone to epidemic; In addition, snakes and insects are prone to bite people. People think that May is the time when the five poisons (scorpion, snake, centipede, gecko and toad) appear, and various methods should be used to prevent the harm of the five poisons. Generally, a map of five poisons is posted in the house, five poisons are printed on red paper, and then five needles are stuck on the five poisons, that is, the poisons are stabbed to death and can no longer be rampant. Folk also embroidered five poisons on clothes and decorated cakes with five poisons patterns, all of which meant expelling them.

Guizhou war "epidemic": implementing health code prevention and control more accurately

"After the launch of’ Guizhou Health Code’, it not only reduced the work pressure of front-line duty personnel, but also made us more aware of the health status of every resident." Li Yong, deputy general manager of Guiyang Huaguoyuan Community Property, said. Since the outbreak of Xinguan pneumonia, the Huaguoyuan community with 450,000 residents has vigorously carried out joint prevention and control, and set up 43 epidemic prevention stations at various entrances. With the continuous improvement of the epidemic situation in Guizhou, enterprises have gradually resumed their work and production, and the flow of people entering and leaving the community has been increasing. In addition to disinfection of bacteria, dining guidance and material support, scanning the "Guizhou Health Code" has become an essential link.

In fact, it’s not just the flower orchard community. In recent days, "code scanning" has become everyone’s "routine action" in both rural and urban areas. At the critical moment when the situation of epidemic prevention and control in Guizhou continues to improve and the order of production and life is accelerated, in order to improve the scientificity, accuracy and pertinence of epidemic prevention and control, Guizhou began to use the "Guizhou Health Code" in various basic units of social prevention and control, public places and public transport in the province on February 22, so as to quickly identify key personnel at the first time, control them in time after entering Guizhou, effectively cut off the transmission channels, and ensure the people in the province to resume work and study safely and orderly.

Accurate data prevention and control "one person, one yard" efficient management

"I thought I was driving a private car and didn’t need to be isolated at home. I didn’t expect to be discovered by the health code as soon as I went out." On February 29, Lin, who lives in Guanshanhu District of Guiyang City, showed "orange" on his health card when he entered the supermarket to scan the code. After verification, Lin took a private car from Henan to Guiyang a week ago, but went out without permission without observing at home for 14 days. After scanning the code, he was recognized by the system and was immediately advised to return home for isolation.

Coincidentally. At the intersection of Zunyi East Station Expressway, Wang’s private car was also stopped by the staff at the epidemic prevention site. By scanning the Guizhou health code, Wang’s health card shows red. Later, it was learned that Wang returned to Guizhou by car from Hubei on the same day. According to the prevention and control measures of Zunyi City, Wang was arranged to go to the Party School of Xinpu New District in Zunyi for 14 days of centralized isolation observation.

"The’ Guizhou Health Code’ personal health card is a dynamic health card, which will collect data in real time according to everyone’s travel trajectory, so as to help relevant government departments grasp the epidemic information in time and respond quickly to special situations, thus achieving accurate prevention and control." Li Gang, deputy director of Guizhou Big Data Development Administration, said.

As the first national big data comprehensive experimental zone in China, in recent years, Guizhou has vigorously promoted the deep integration of big data and the real economy, promoted the transformation and upgrading of a large number of enterprises in the direction of digitalization, networking and intelligence, and realized the innovation of production methods and business models, which has effectively promoted the high-quality development of Guizhou’s economy. These achievements were also fully demonstrated during the epidemic prevention and control period. Among them, "Guizhou Health Code" is a typical application of big data in the "epidemic" in Guizhou.

According to reports, the Guizhou Health Code is jointly developed by the Social Prevention and Control Group of the Leading Group for Epidemic Prevention and Control of Guizhou Province, organized by the Provincial Big Data Bureau, the Provincial Health and Wellness Committee, the Provincial Public Security Department and Guizhou Big Data (Group) Company in Yunshang, using big data technology to comprehensively collect and identify personal information of citizens, and automatically generate exclusive health pass documents that meet the needs of travel and return to work during personal epidemics.

The voucher system brings together the most complete and authoritative database of epidemic prevention key population in the province, such as confirmed personnel, suspected personnel, secret observation personnel, nucleic acid detection personnel, people returning from Hubei, and home observers. According to the five control measures of "hospital isolation, centralized isolation, home isolation, self-observation, and normal traffic", it is corresponding with five colors of "purple, red, orange, yellow and green", and different personnel will scan the code.

"Guizhou health code is implemented with one person, one code, consistent person and card, dynamic update and universal in the whole province, so as to realize the identification of’ code’ and prevent data from’ epidemic’." Li Gang said. At present, "Guizhou Health Code" has become an important tool for the government and enterprises to grasp the health status of returned workers. All industrial parks, office buildings and project site entrances in the province are equipped with "Guizhou Health Code", and personal health cards show "yellow" and "green" personnel, and they can log in to the province with bright codes at one time. After their body temperature is normal and protective measures are implemented as required, they can not only enter and leave key areas such as communities, shopping malls, parks and public service institutions normally.

Inter-provincial "bright code" mutual recognition helps enterprises to resume work and production

The generation of a QR code seems simple, but it is closely related to the development of enterprises and the return to work of migrant workers. According to statistics, with the rapid and orderly progress of the resumption of work and production in various places, more than 200,000 people enter Guizhou by means of transportation such as civil aviation, highways, trains and high-speed rail every day, and the relevant migrant workers in Guizhou are also continuously exported to all parts of the province, and the pressure on the prevention and control of the epidemic is further increased.

"After the resumption of work, Zunyi high-speed railway station gradually resumed operations. Now the average flow of people is 6,000-7,000 people per day, which greatly increases the work pressure of our health inspection and temperature measurement at the station." Su Jixun, instructor of the etiquette police station of Xinpu Branch of Zunyi City Public Security Bureau, said. However, this situation was effectively alleviated after February 29. Su Jixun told reporters that after the "Guizhou Health Code" was officially promoted in Zunyi, health cards with five colors enabled the staff to quickly distinguish the health status of passengers and achieve rapid passage in 2 seconds. At the same time, the staff also advised more than 10 passengers whose scan code results were not green or yellow, and cooperated with relevant departments to carry out epidemic prevention and control work.

The launch of "Guizhou Health Code" has further smoothed the flow of people in the province, and the resumption of work and production in the province is in full swing. In order to enable migrant workers to return to work smoothly and quickly, Guizhou has also actively established a mutual recognition mechanism for health information with provinces and cities where migrant workers mainly flow out, such as Zhejiang, Guangdong and Chongqing, so as to open up the data of key personnel among provinces and realize cross-recognition of key personnel data, which is convenient for migrant workers to return to work.

At present, Guizhou Province has signed a memorandum of cooperation with Chongqing Municipality, and through data sharing and technology docking, mutual recognition of "Yukang Code" and "Guizhou Health Code" and "Bright Code" has been realized, so that people are not gathered and work is not delayed.

"Inter-provincial mutual recognition and interoperability of health codes has broken this dilemma, lifted some obstacles in the resumption of work and production, and improved the efficiency of returning to work." Song Jie, the person in charge of Hongfujin Precision Electronics Guiyang Co., Ltd., located in Guiyang Comprehensive Insurance Zone, said that one "code" is universal, which not only reduces the time required for filling out forms everywhere, but also accelerates the efficiency of verification and passage, and also effectively reduces contact and avoids cross-infection. Up to now, 9,500 people have returned to work by using health codes to manage employees, of which more than 400 returned workers from other provinces have successfully returned to work through isolation+nucleic acid detection+code scanning.

Strengthen technical control to ensure information accuracy and privacy.

"I slept at home and found that my green card became Huang Ka." Recently, Ms. Wang in Huaxi District of Guiyang City is a little confused. Because she hasn’t been to other places recently, and she hasn’t been exposed to cases, but the health card that was green the day before turned yellow overnight, which made her very depressed.

Fortunately, according to the Interim Measures for the Promotion and Use of Health Codes in Guizhou Province issued by the General Office of Guizhou Province, yellow health code personnel can pass normally in public places under the condition of normal temperature measurement and self-protection, because their travel has not been affected. However, the "yellow label" on the health card still brings some inconvenience to your life.

In order to regain "healthy green", Ms. Wang called the "Guizhou Health Code" service hotline 9610096. At the prompt of the customer service staff, she quickly got in touch with the epidemic prevention personnel in her community, and finally helped Ms. Wang to modify the information through the investigation and confirmation of the community epidemic prevention personnel.

"If an individual disagrees with the personal exclusive health information automatically judged by big data, he can apply for manual review by telephone." Peng Jing, director of Guizhou Tongfu Call Center, said that in order to ensure the accurate operation of "Guizhou Health Code", Guizhou Province opened the hotline of Guizhou Health Code 9610096 in time, and the call center insisted on 24-hour uninterrupted operation, and arranged nine full-time staff to answer, handle and give feedback to the relevant questions reflected by the citizens. "The problems reflected by the citizens are generally solved online in time. If they can’t be solved, the operator will record them and report them to the relevant departments in time." Peng Jing said.

In order to effectively handle the opinions and suggestions of the masses, guizhou public security, Provincial Health and Health Commission, Provincial Big Data Bureau, Yunshang Guizhou Group Company and other units have set up technical support teams. After receiving the citizens’ inquiries and complaints, the call center will transfer each collected opinion to the corresponding departments according to the principle of "who confirms, who provides, who updates and who verifies" for the data questions and inquiries that need to be verified, so as to ensure that all questions are settled and answered within 12 hours. In response to the problems and suggestions collected by the hotline, the Guizhou Provincial Bureau of Big Data organized a technical research team to study overnight and solve them in time.

"In order to ensure the safe and stable operation of the system, Guizhou Big Data Group has deployed nearly 400 cloud servers, 50 cloud databases, 50TB of storage, exclusive bandwidth and a series of cloud security services." The relevant person in charge of Guizhou Big Data Group in Yunshang said that in order to ensure the smoothness and stability of the system and the information security of the masses, Guizhou Big Data Group in Yunshang not only upgraded the system, but also strengthened product safety prevention and monitoring, and conducted many safety inspections on the "Guizhou Health Code" system and its safety management and control mechanism. At present, no system information leakage has been found.

In the next step, Guizhou Big Data Group in Yunshang will continue to improve and optimize the system functions, ensure the stable operation of the system, and implement the instructions of Guizhou Province on "insisting on managing points, controlling lines and smoothing the surface, and doing a good job in prevention and control of key populations and key parts" with practical actions, and fully guarantee the safe and orderly resumption of work, production and schooling during the epidemic in Guizhou.

Go back to your hometown in Qingming without testing nucleic acid! The "14+7" entry into Shenzhen has changed.

  Qingming is approaching, and a big wave of travel peaks is about to be "killed".

  Many people are asking:

  On the morning of March 25th, the Information Office of Shenzhen Municipal Government organized a special press conference for this purpose, inviting representatives from Shenzhen Civil Affairs Bureau, Municipal Health and Health Commission, Municipal Transportation Bureau and Municipal Emergency Management Bureau to answer public questions.

  First of all, give everyone a "reassuring pill"

  Chang Juping, deputy director of the Shenzhen Municipal Health and Health Commission, said that at present, the epidemic situation in the country is relatively stable, and all areas in Guangdong belong to low-risk areas. During the Qingming period, it is not necessary to provide proof of nucleic acid testing.

  However, according to the requirements of epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19, the following four categories of personnel are not allowed to participate in the sweeping activities:

  Persons who have lived abroad (including abroad, Hong Kong and Taiwan) within 14 days;

  Persons who have lived in high-risk areas in China within 14 days;

  Close contacts less than 7 days after the release of 14 days of isolation;

  Persons with acute respiratory symptoms such as fever and cough.

  At the same time, it is suggested that citizens should remain vigilant during the Qingming holiday, minimize gatherings and do personal protection.

  Xiong Ying, director of Shenzhen Civil Affairs Bureau, said that due to the suspension of on-site sacrifice sweeping in Qingming last year, it is expected that all kinds of sacrifice sweeping places in Shenzhen will usher in the peak of people gathering this year, and the number of people who sacrifice sweeping may reach more than 700,000. Please abide by the epidemic prevention and control, fire protection, transportation and other relevant regulations, conduct civilized sacrifice sweeping, and advocate home memorial, online sacrifice sweeping, off-peak sacrifice sweeping and smokeless sacrifice sweeping.

  Special reminder: You must make an appointment to attend the on-site sacrifice in Shenzhen.

  Appointment method-

  Online Reservation: "Smart Funeral" Module of "I Shenzhen" APP

  Telephone appointment:"Shenzhen Civil Affairs Online" official website has issued an appointment number for the city’s cemeteries and columbariums.

  Since the opening of the appointment on March 20, as of 18: 00 on March 24, the number of people who have made an appointment for the on-site sacrifice has reached 135,800.

  This year, Shenzhen will continue to carry out green ecological burial. On the morning of March 31, sea burial and tree burial will be held in the whole city. The sea burial place is in Dapeng Bay and the tree burial place is Yoshida Cemetery in Longgang. The public can call 0755-86005056 or 89570408 to inquire about the handling process.

  Xu Zhongping, deputy director of the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Transportation, said that in order to cope with the peak of Qingming travel, Shenzhen opened a special line to repay the blessings and the Qingming Festival in the city funeral home; At the same time, bus companies are required to increase the capacity and encrypt the frequency of more than 100 bus lines passing through key sacrificial sites and tourist attractions at any time depending on the passenger flow, and reserve 45 buses in key areas such as the city funeral parlour and the window of the world for emergency.

  Yang Jie, deputy director of Shenzhen Emergency Management Bureau, said that during the Qingming period, Shenzhen will strictly grasp forest fire prevention, with 305 important intersections "guarded", 170 important hilltops "watched" and 169 cemeteries "patrolled".

  According to the weather forecast, it is difficult to see the scene of "rainy in Qingming Festival" in Shenzhen this year, and the situation of forest fire prevention is more severe. Since January, forest fires have occurred in Shenshan, Nanshan and Dapeng New District, most of which are related to unsafe behaviors, including smoking, burning weeds and burning paper money.

go for a spring outing on the Qingming Festival

Don’t step on the roadside wild mushrooms

  The Shenzhen Municipal Health and Health Commission specially reminded that every spring and summer is the high incidence season of poisonous mushroom poisoning. Most poisonous mushrooms look similar to edible mushrooms and cannot be distinguished with the naked eye.

  Some identification methods circulated among the people, such as: brightly colored and beautiful-looking mushrooms are poisonous, and those that turn black after frying with silverware and garlic are poisonous …

  There is no scientific basis.

  Therefore, during the Qingming period, citizens must not eat any wild mushrooms when they go out for a walk in Shang Huashi.

  If you eat poisonous mushrooms by mistake, you should immediately call 120 ambulance, cover with blankets and keep samples of poisonous mushrooms to find out the cause of poisoning.

  By 24: 00 on March 24th, Shenzhen had reported 500 confirmed cases (including 77 imported cases) and 260 asymptomatic infected cases in COVID-19. At present, there are 5 confirmed cases in the hospital in the city, all of which are general cases, and 6 asymptomatic infected people are under medical observation.

  Generally speaking, the epidemic situation in the city is generally stable, with no new imported cases, no new local cases and no new asymptomatic local infected persons for 60 consecutive days.

  Shenzhen no longer implemented the "14+7" policy for immigrants, but instead implemented a 14-day centralized isolation medical observation measure. During the isolation period, nucleic acids were detected four times on the first, fourth, seventh and fourteenth days.

  After 14 days of isolation, if the nucleic acid test result is negative, the isolation observation can be lifted and the free flow is allowed. Measures such as extending the time limit, home isolation, home health management and community health management shall not be taken for those who have been released from isolation.

  Among them, the entry personnel whose destination is Shenzhen and meets the conditions of home isolation, and whose nucleic acid test is negative, can voluntarily apply for "7+7" isolation medical observation measures, that is, centralized isolation observation for 7 days+home isolation observation for 7 days.

  As of March 24th, Shenzhen has vaccinated 2.09 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine and 1.44 million people. The next step will be to vaccinate all kinds of people with Covid-19 vaccine in stages according to the unified arrangements of the state and the province.

Cross-border e-commerce is booming.

Accelerate the realization of brand going to sea, rely on the smooth logistics of China-Europe trains, and formulate a package of policies-
Cross-border e-commerce is booming.

The Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress proposed to speed up the construction of a trade power. As a new business model, cross-border electronic commerce has become a new kinetic energy for China’s foreign trade development, a new channel for transformation and upgrading, and a new starting point for high-quality development. In 2015, China established the first cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone. In recent years, China’s cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test area model has become more and more mature, and the number of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test areas has expanded to 165, which has played an important role in the development of cross-border e-commerce.

Not long ago, the State Council approved the establishment of cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone in 33 cities and regions including Langfang. This is the seventh batch of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test zones established in China. So far, the number of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test zones in China has expanded to 165. Setting up a new batch of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test zones and vigorously developing new formats and models such as cross-border e-commerce will help stimulate the vitality of foreign trade entities, improve the efficiency of foreign trade operation, stabilize the supply chain of foreign trade industry chain, and realize the integration of industrial digitalization and trade digitalization.

At present, what new changes are facing the development of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test area? How can cross-border e-commerce achieve high-quality development? The reporter conducted an interview.

New advantages-

When the brand goes out to sea, press the development fast forward button.

Entering the Samsung Down Building in Yuhang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, Zhu Zhiliang, the chairman of Zhejiang Samsung Down Co., Ltd., is browsing the background of the website to learn important data such as user consumption preferences, transaction volume, and product page stay time.

"In the past, the order was’ waiting for it’ and OEM. Now, through cross-border e-commerce, our own brand products can be sold directly to consumers. The feedback data can help us understand the pain points of users in the first time." Zhu Zhiliang, who has been engaged in foreign trade business for more than 30 years, is deeply touched.

By building independent stations overseas, Samsung Down can master a large number of front-end sales data such as styles and styles, thus quickly anchoring the research and development direction and adjusting product production.

Since its launch in May 2022, the independent station of Samsung Down in foreign countries has sold more than 5 million US dollars of bedding products, and the repurchase rate is about 20%. "It is not easy to achieve such a high repurchase rate of bedding products, which just shows the recognition of brands by overseas consumers." Zhu Zhiliang was very satisfied with the booming supply and marketing of his own products.

"Traditional foreign trade is waiting for others to give orders, and enterprises have no pricing power. Cross-border e-commerce has enabled some of our companies to find opportunities for brands to go to sea. " Wu Changhong, director of the Comprehensive Test Division of Cross-border E-commerce of Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce, said that the essence of cross-border e-commerce is "cross-border trade in internet plus+made in China", the products of enterprises are excellent, and various services are guaranteed in the pilot area. More and more China brands will go abroad.

Established in 2015, Hangzhou cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone is the first comprehensive experimental zone for e-commerce in China. Since its establishment, the total scale and development level of Hangzhou’s e-commerce industry has always been in the leading echelon in the country, with a total of 100,000 cross-border e-commerce sellers and 4,371 overseas registered trademarks, and the import and export volume of cross-border e-commerce has exceeded 100 billion yuan.

"In the next stage, we will choose the best and help the strong, and cultivate waist enterprises to big sellers." Wu Changhong said that Hangzhou will increase policy support in brand subject cultivation, independent station construction, financial support, and overseas brand base construction to help cross-border e-commerce in Hangzhou enter a new stage of high-quality development.

New markets—

China-Europe train, open up the main artery of logistics

Recently, 50 containers filled with daily necessities started from Xi ‘an International Port Station on the "Chang ‘an" China-Europe train, heading west to Europe.

"This time we shipped vacuum cleaners, glass bottles, clothes racks, cosmetic bags and other products. It only takes about 12 days for the goods to reach Europe." Li Songxing, general manager of Xi ‘an Haocheng Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. told reporters.

"Since 2021, Xi ‘an has focused on building a national assembly center for cross-border e-commerce of the China-Europe train’ Chang ‘an’, and implemented a new mode of’ customs declaration first, then packing’ for cross-border e-commerce, so as to improve the customs clearance time of goods for 2-3 days." Wang Sports, member of the Party Working Committee of Xi ‘an International Port Area and full-time deputy director of Xi ‘an Comprehensive Bonded Zone Management Committee, said that Xi ‘an International Port Area has put into use 13 overseas warehouses, which are distributed in seven countries including Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Czech Republic, Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, providing "end-to-end, door-to-door" full-link logistics services for cross-border businesses.

In 2022, there were 198 cross-border e-commerce classes in Xi ‘an, which was 1.6 times of the annual shipment volume in 2021. The cross-border e-commerce transaction volume was 3.51 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 40%.

According to Ma Xuanli, deputy director of the Management Committee of Xi ‘an International Port Area, relying on the channel advantages of China-Europe trains, Xi ‘an actively builds a "cross-border e-commerce+live broadcast" model and opens up a new track for overseas live e-commerce. In 2022, Xi ‘an introduced 11 new live broadcast projects, built 50 live broadcast rooms and introduced 200 live broadcast talents, basically forming a "cross-border e-commerce+live broadcast" ecosystem integrating cross-border live broadcast, short video production and anchor training. On July 24, 2018, the State Council officially approved the establishment of China (Xi ‘an) cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone. Since then, Xi ‘an has set up nine innovation demonstration pioneer zones, relying on platforms such as aviation, railway ports and comprehensive insurance zones to jointly promote the agglomeration and growth of cross-border e-commerce industry in Xi ‘an.

"In 2022, the cross-border e-commerce transaction volume in Xi’ an was 14.427 billion yuan, up 46.4% year-on-year. The cross-border e-commerce grew strongly and has become a new kinetic energy to stimulate the development of export-oriented economy." Zhang Xuanmin, director of the Xi ‘an Municipal Bureau of Commerce, said.

New measures-

Seize the opportunity and step into the fast lane of development

Walking into the production workshop of Shandong Boli Glass Co., Ltd., located in Zhangdian District, Zibo City, Shandong Province, a heat wave came to our face, and the glass solution as thick as syrup flowed out of the furnace. The intelligent manipulator waved its arm, and after bending, blowing, pressing, welding and other processing procedures, exquisite glass products were made.

"This export order reached 1 million US dollars, including glass vases, candlesticks, ceramics, candles and so on." Kang Jinheng, sales director of Shandong Boli Glass Co., Ltd. introduced that in 2022, relying on cross-border e-commerce business, the company’s performance achieved steady growth. In the first half of the year, it achieved revenue of more than 190 million yuan and profit of more than 17 million yuan. It is estimated that the annual export volume will be around 280 million yuan.

In January, 2022, Zibo was approved as a national cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone. In that year, Zibo completed 123.41 billion yuan of foreign trade import and export, and the number of cross-border e-commerce enterprises in Zibo increased by 67% year-on-year, which injected new impetus into building an open city.

How can Zibo achieve a rapid breakthrough in the cross-border e-commerce field?

Zibo has formulated a package of policies to increase support from encouraging the development of cross-border e-commerce enterprises, encouraging the construction and introduction of cross-border e-commerce platforms, and supporting the construction of cross-border e-commerce industrial parks, so as to improve the city’s development ecology.

"The research group of cross-border e-commerce tapping service was established in the city, and 366 regulated enterprises with import and export willingness and high product foreign trade compatibility were screened out as target enterprises for accurately tapping potential." Li Jiaxing, head of the Foreign Trade Development Section of the Zibo Municipal Bureau of Commerce, said that the research team conducted on-site research and services to target enterprises, helped them to connect with international channels, talents, capital and other resources, and guided them to carry out cross-border e-commerce business.

As a rookie city to develop cross-border e-commerce, Zibo still faces some problems. "For example, as an inland city, the logistics cost of Zibo is significantly higher than that of other coastal cities. For example, the cross-border e-commerce industry involves comprehensive knowledge and skills such as payment, logistics, customs clearance and network. We still lack compound talents who know both foreign trade and cross-border e-commerce." Yin Qidi, Party Secretary and Director of Zibo Municipal Bureau of Commerce, said.

"In the future, Zibo will continue to make precise efforts and overcome difficulties on the cross-border e-commerce track, relying on universities and well-known Internet companies inside and outside the city to accelerate the cultivation of cross-border e-commerce talents, expand the scale of cross-border e-commerce, improve the cross-border e-commerce ecology, and build a high-level open city." Yin Qidi said. (Reporter Dou Wei Gong Shijian Li Rui)
