Understanding the Four Realms of History

History is an evil teacher who only tells the truth to free people.

-Lord acton

For some countries or nations, history may be a fetter and a burden, but if you want to liberate from history, the safest and most reliable means is to recognize history.How a country’s citizens know about history determines what kind of future this country will have to a certain extent.Therefore, a correct understanding of history is extremely important for us at present.

Hegel said, "The only lesson that human beings have learned from history is that they have not learned any lessons from history". The reason for this is precisely because human beings have all kinds of wrong understandings of history. However, a historian, with his vigilance and insight, corrected the wrong cognitive model of history and helped us learn wisdom from history and enhance our realm. He is Lord acton.

From Lord acton’s works such as Freedom and Power and Lectures on Modern History, The Prophet Bookstore summarized the following four ideological paths of understanding history, each of which is a historical thinking that goes straight to the bottom:

1. History lies not in abundance, but in truth.

In human history, there are many false histories, the most typical of which is the "history" from the hands of autocratic monarchs. In order to maintain their own orthodoxy, they always delete historical materials and monopolize history. If we want to break away from the domination of power in the vast "history" where fakes are everywhere, we must have the knowledge and courage to find the truth.

Acton believes that the value of history lies not in its richness, but in its credibility. No matter how much false history is piled up, it is equivalent to garbage. It is better not to have it. Only in reliable historical facts can human beings learn real lessons.

2. Meaning is not in the present, but in eternity.

People usually think that the main significance of history is to provide lessons for the present. This is not wrong, but if it is only so, it will be a bit narrow. Because "the present" is always full of disputes and agitation, and the sacred and just beliefs should be detached from it and need to be formed in a quiet space.

Acton said, "Beyond credibility, it is a question of detachment". The key point of historical significance lies in "grasping the eternal problems, so that we are free from limiting the transient and changeable things". Reading history lies in thinking about the origin and root of things, thus gaining a transcendental wisdom.

3. Truth is important, but morality is more important.

In the face of history, if we only pay attention to the truth, it is often easy to draw wrong conclusions. For example, ancient aristocratic rule had many disadvantages, which is a fact, but it does not lead to the conclusion that civilian rule is better. As acton said, "The question is not which specific class is not suitable for ruling, but all classes are not suitable for ruling". Without the universal morality of mankind as a whole, any rule is dangerous.

Acton believes that "ideas are often repeated, rules of conduct are often changed, and creeds also rise and fall, but moral laws are engraved on the eternal monument". Therefore, history must have morality and faith running through it, and we must return to caring for people themselves. Without the restraint of moral principles, history can easily lead to blind hatred and become a call for slaughter.

4. Great history bears witness to the wisdom of God.

Acton believes that if we don’t take into account the history of 3,000 years, we can’t find philosophy in the historical observation of nearly a hundred years in modern times. But compared with ancient history, the cognition of modern history is more important. Because the transformation of mankind from barbarism to civilization in modern history helps us to see that "the wisdom of God’s rule is not reflected in the perfection of the world, but in the improvement of the world".

Modern history "tells our own story and is a record of our own life". Modern history "still hinders the pace of human beings and puzzles the human mind", and every part of modern history "contains extremely precious lessons". If we don’t know how to use the precedents and teachings, we will only repeat the same mistakes in the future and pay a huge price.

The above four points are only a small part of Lord acton’s historical insights. What he warned by moral laws is the weakness of the whole human race and the universal humanity. Acton’s unique transcendence and historical concern made him a prophet, but he was destined to be a minority in history.

Generally speaking, historical research values scientific methods, objective facts and impartial attitude; However, acton’s historical research is the last echo of western classical liberalism, and what he emphasized is precisely the points farthest from history in our eyes-freedom, morality and faith. This unique historical perspective is unfamiliar to Chinese people, but also lacking-perhaps this is the fundamental reason why China has not been able to get out of the cycle of chaos control for thousands of years.

People’s Network Review: Strengthening Cultural Self-confidence and Promoting the Rejuvenation of Chinese Civilization

Source: People’s Network-Viewpoint Channel

Visit Xuanyuan Temple of Huangdi Mausoleum, and pay tribute to the vigor and uprightness of cypress planted by Huangdi in 5000 years. At Lushan Mao site and Shiyan Mao site, feel the grand scenery of the capital city of "Wanbang came to Korea" 4000 years ago; In Baoji Bronze Museum, I realized the pre-Qin civilization of the Western Zhou Dynasty 3,000 years ago … With the launch of the online theme of "Why is China in a Prosperous Age", an interview group composed of Chinese and foreign journalists, experts and scholars set off from Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province, and started a wonderful journey of exploring the source. The magnificent treasures and voluminous documents help us decipher the code of civilization and strengthen our cultural self-confidence.

Cultural self-confidence is a more basic, broader and deeper self-confidence and a more basic, deeper and more lasting force in the development of a country and a nation. The Chinese nation is an ancient and great nation in the world. It has created a splendid civilization that has lasted for more than 5,000 years and made indelible contributions to the progress of human civilization. Through cultural relics, heritages and texts, the online theme propaganda of "Why is China in a Prosperous Age in China" makes people more and more amazed at the profoundness and long history of Chinese civilization. Numerous cultural creations have strengthened our cultural confidence, from a subset of classics and history with rich knowledge, to the four books and five classics, six towers and three strategies that show profound wisdom, from jade carving and bronze wares and ceramic silk weaving that show superb skills, to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs with elegant interests.

How to treat one’s excellent traditional culture is an important criterion to judge whether a country or a nation has cultural self-confidence. In the new era, the Chinese civilization tracing project has made important progress, the national cultural digitalization strategy has been rapidly promoted, and the national cultural park has been built in an orderly way … A major project has blossomed with more dazzling light of civilization, helping the people of China to glow with stronger historical consciousness and initiative.

Strengthening cultural self-confidence means sticking to your own path. The road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics came out under the guidance of Marxism, and it also came out from the history of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years. For example, the people’s congress system is deeply related to the people-oriented thought of Chinese civilization and the idea of ruling the world together. The system of regional ethnic autonomy inherits the tradition of China’s cultural unification, which is based on Kyushu, Liuhe and the four seas. If we continue to explore our own roads and methods on the land of China, we should base ourselves on the great historical practice and contemporary practice of the Chinese nation, seek the source of living water from traditional culture, provide enlightenment for understanding and transforming the world, provide inspiration for governing the country and opening up a new road without forgetting the way we came.

The revival of a nation is always supported by the prosperity of culture; The progress of an era is always marked by cultural prosperity. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China drew a grand blueprint for building a socialist modernization power in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese modernization. On the new journey, we should further strengthen our cultural self-confidence, work together to create a new culture belonging to our times, build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation, and provide a strong value guiding force, cultural cohesion and spiritual impetus for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Great China, magnificent mountains and rivers. Looking back at the depths of history, one of the important reasons why the Chinese nation has survived from countless difficulties and hardships is that Chinese culture has provided strong spiritual support to overcome difficulties. Looking into the future, there are calm, stormy waves, rushing rivers and flying clouds. Standing on the land of China infiltrated with excellent traditional culture, we have the majestic power of more than 1.4 billion China people, our historical background is extremely profound, and our determination to advance is extremely strong. Illuminate the way forward with the light of thought, and eliminate all difficulties and dangers with the power of spirit, and we will surely build a towering spiritual building and promote the rejuvenation of Chinese civilization.

What is "culture"

In an era, it not only updated our understanding of culture, but also refreshed our ideas again.

Just as knowledge is not equal to culture, it subverts our rational knowledge and perceptual habits all the time.

In fact, in our thinking logic, people often regard culture as the code of conduct of civilization.

For example, benevolence, courtesy, wisdom and trust, gentleness, courtesy and frugality are all concrete manifestations of behavior culture.

Therefore, when a person walks under a tree or an obstacle below his height, there is no doubt that he will bend down.

It should be said that few people even think about how to change it. This is a kind of culture.

Especially when the elevator door is opened, some people stand aside and wait for others to get off the elevator, and some people are eager to squeeze in.

These actions are the intersection of behavior and culture, and have nothing to do with education and knowledge. This is also a kind of culture.

[1] What is culture

Now that we have talked about "culture", how should we understand and recognize these two words? Of course, in other words: "What is" culture "?

Generally speaking, what we call "culture" in a broad sense refers to the sum of all material products and spiritual products created by human beings.

In a narrow sense, it refers to spiritual products including language, literature, art and all ideologies.

Here, we emphasize that as a kind of "culture", it must have six characteristics:

(1) universality. The universality of culture is manifested in the common cultural forms in social practice activities, even though different national consciousness and behavior are manifested, they have the same forms of expression.

(2) Diversity. Under different natural, historical and social conditions, different cultural types and cultural models have been formed, which makes the world culture present the characteristics of diversity as a whole.

(3) nationality. The traditional culture rooted in the nation is complementary to the development of the nation. So different nationalities have different national cultures.

(4) Inheritance. The inheritance of culture is the basis of carrying forward and developing culture. If there is no inheritance, of course, there will be no culture.

(5) Developmental. The essence of a national culture lies in its continuous development and change. A series of cultural products, including today’s automation and informatization, are the results of cultural development.

(6) the times. In the historical process of human development, each era has its own typical cultural type.

[2] Cultural background

I remember that Mr. Li Yanjie, the former professor of Beijing Normal University and vice president of the World Association for the Promotion of Chinese Education, once gave an open class entitled "Virtue, knowledge, talent, truth, goodness and beauty" at the lecture tour in Peking University.

He said; What is culture? The sum of truth, goodness and beauty is culture.

It can be seen that what we call "culture" is the product of all-round, multi-level and three-dimensional intersection of fields.

It not only covers a person’s cultivation, temper and disposition, but also includes family environment, living space, and even genetics and so on.

My neighbor, Aunt Song, once said, "Without culture, you are illiterate.". This statement is very incisive and hits the nail on the head.

You can imagine, living in the present, if you don’t even know a big word, this is not a scene, and it has nothing to do with the bridge, but it is incredible.

[3] It’s terrible to have no culture

Once upon a time, there was a saying circulating in the society: "It’s terrible to be uneducated", although it was just a network language. But it is a culture in itself.

Do you know that the cultural content contained in this sentence is far and near, false and real, true and false?

Perhaps, it may be trying to explain a thing or an action. But I hope it’s just a humorous remark with no practical significance.

Inject youthful strength into cultural inheritance and development (solid foundation and new discussion on culture)

Source: People’s Daily

"Do you want to innovate in the lyrics and plot? Make the audience feel more interesting. " "A play is long, no play is short. Traditional operas have to adapt to the theater, and the plot is compact and simple. " This is a daily discussion among young actors in Zhejiang Wuju Art Research Institute. In this troupe, which accounts for nearly 90% of the post-80s, post-90s, and post-00s, the actors practice hard the Four Merits and Five Methods and improve the literary and martial arts, and are active in more than 500 performances every year, so that the audience can feel the "fashion" of the opera.

The new appearance of Wu Opera is the epitome of contemporary China youth’s active participation in cultural inheritance and development. It has become the cultural consciousness of contemporary China youth to explore the cultural roots and take the initiative to inherit and innovate, from the young archaeologists at Sanxingdui archaeological site, to the young restorers who "rejuvenate" ancient villages, and then to the young creative talents in the national wind and tide.

Young people can use new technologies and new means to skillfully combine Chinese excellent traditional culture with contemporary life and open up innovative space. Taking intangible cultural heritage as an example, in the front line of rural revitalization, young people use innovative ideas to stimulate intangible cultural heritage, which not only inherits intangible cultural heritage, but also promotes rural development. Yang Changqin, the representative of the 14th National People’s Congress and the inheritor of the post-90s generation of Chishui bamboo weaving, a provincial-level non-legacy in Guizhou Province, studied skills and innovatively introduced a series of handicrafts such as bamboo weaving porcelain, which directly led to the increase of income of 177 households and 570 people in the ethnic village of Datong Town, Chishui City, and the bamboo weaving industry led to the employment of nearly 30,000 people in surrounding towns and villages. On the Tik Tok platform, in 2022, nearly seven creators in the field of non-legacy became young people, with over 1,000 live broadcasts every day; Young talents from professional troupes such as Huangmei Opera and Huagu Opera have stepped onto the "Cloud Stage", covering more than 300 kinds of operas. Last year, the number of people watching live broadcasts exceeded 2.5 billion, with an average of 3,200. Thanks to the innovative enthusiasm and creativity of youth groups, Chinese culture, including intangible cultural heritage, continues to glow with the glory of the times.

Inheritance needs innovation, and innovation calls for youth. Generate’s creativity in the cultural inheritance and innovation of the youth group proves the enterprising spirit of the Chinese nation, respecting the past and not retro, and reflects the outstanding innovation of Chinese civilization. Growing up in contemporary China, the stage for young people to display their skills is extremely broad. It is expected that the vast number of young people will inject more youthful strength into the cultural inheritance and development with high spirits.

Promoting Cultural Cohesion and Safeguarding National Cultural Trade Security

In recent years, with the in-depth implementation of the national cultural digitalization strategy, digital technology has promoted the increasing number of cultural market players in China, and the scale of culture and related industries has also been expanding. China International Cultural Trade Development Report (2023) pointed out that in 2022, the total import and export volume of foreign cultural products in China was 180.27 billion US dollars, the export trade volume was about 163.68 billion US dollars, and the import trade volume was about 16.59 billion US dollars. Among them, the proportion of China in the import and export trade of cultural and creative products in the global market is generally on the rise, and the total export value is close to 40%. China’s international cultural trade has entered a new round of rapid development stage, which has become a new focus to stimulate the growth of China’s international trade.

In the global market, there will be an expansionist tendency in the process of cultural trade, such as unbalanced output and input, uneven cultural trade and so on, which will impact the cultural traditions, values and lifestyles of the trading countries. At present, maintaining national cultural trade security and promoting the high-quality development of cultural industries have become an important issue facing China.

The security of cultural trade is characterized by two-way. The exporting country of cultural trade penetrates the ideology, values and lifestyle of the target country through cultural products and services. Correspondingly, the importing country protects and develops its national culture, adjusts its cultural development strategy, gives play to its comparative advantages, and expands its cultural trade output, so as to resist the influence of foreign culture on its own country. Therefore, the national cultural trade security is influenced by two factors: the cohesion of domestic mainstream culture and the international competitiveness of cultural industries.

On the one hand, the safety factor of a country’s cultural trade is closely related to the cohesion of domestic mainstream culture. Different from the tool attribute of industrial FMCG, which aims to meet the basic needs of human beings, cultural products have emotional attributes, and their consumption experience depends on specific values and aesthetic resonance. The stronger the cohesion of domestic mainstream culture, the more cultural enterprises attach importance to the inheritance and innovation of their own culture, and cultural products and services can more accurately meet the cultural consumption needs of their own people. Local original cultural products dominate the domestic market, which can effectively hedge the impact of cultural products and services from other countries on their own people’s values, thinking habits and lifestyles. On the other hand, when our people are more chasing foreign cultural products and services, and the country’s international cultural trade shows a deficit, the domestic market will be squeezed by a large number of foreign cultural products, the country’s original cultural traditions and value orientation will be seriously impacted, and the security pressure faced by the national cultural industry will increase. On the other hand, the national cultural trade security is also positively related to the international competitiveness of the country’s cultural products and services. The greater the share of a country’s cultural products and services in the international market, the higher the consumer recognition, the higher the country’s trade discourse power and rulemaking power in the international market, and the more capable it is to safeguard its own cultural trade interests from infringement and ensure the normal operation of the foreign cultural trade system from destruction and threat.

In today’s world, cultural thoughts are stirring each other and different values are playing games with each other. Vigorously developing cultural trade can not only gain economic benefits, but also prevent the erosion and impact of foreign cultures and values on domestic culture, and spread domestic cultural values and thinking habits abroad, thus affecting a country’s international status and international influence. The Chinese nation has a rich cultural heritage and rich cultural resources. It is the only way to safeguard the national cultural trade security and promote the "going out" of culture by giving full play to the innate advantages of China’s cultural resources, deeply tapping the huge potential of the domestic cultural market, strengthening the industrial characteristics of "content is king" and constantly exploring overseas markets.

What are the growth opportunities for beauty this year?

"Fight the first battle"

editorial comment/noteA year’s plan lies in spring, and the industry changes and waits for no one. What new trends will emerge in the industry in 2023? Where is the new growth point of the market? Based on the upcoming 6th China Cosmetics Trend Conference on February 13th, Qingyan interviewed the founders and professionals of 30+ well-known companies at home and abroad, and helped the cosmetics industry get off to a good start with fresh views.

(in alphabetical order)


A Yan, general manager of Tmall beauty, perfume and fragrance and men’s care industry
"Brand Power"+"Goods Power" Two-wheel Drive Growth

In the future, the beauty market will show the following seven main trends: 1. In 2023, the beauty industry will show a good trend of "suppressing first and then promoting". For beauty brands, follow the general trend in the rhythm of pushing new products, and at the same time expand category richness and maximize demand creation. 2. Continue to deeply embrace the Internet and release the crowd penetration bonus. 3. The constituent party population will continue to grow, consumers will pay more and more attention to efficiency, and brands must grow through the two-wheel drive of "brand power" and "goods power". 4. Brands need to provide consumers with more emotional value through marketing, such as cultural traceability, national feelings, female power, sexism, olfactory economy, face value economy and so on. 5. The comprehensive strength of domestic cosmetics will be advanced, and domestic brands can seize this opportunity to continuously expand their own matrix. 6. In the new year, more brands will focus on improving their R&D strength and creating more patents and exclusive ingredients. 7. Policies will promote the optimization of industrial structure, force the industry to upgrade, promote the beauty industry to become bigger and stronger, and achieve healthy, orderly and high-quality development.
Rational skin care promoter bing Han

Oligopolization will continue.
Under the pressure of new regulations, enterprises are in a hurry, helpless under the influence of epidemic situation, fearful under weak consumption, the disappearance of small and medium-sized enterprises and the formation of oligopoly trend.

In the new year, oligarchy continues, small and medium-sized brands continue to be difficult, and the cosmetics industry is increasingly out of touch with ordinary people.

In the future, new brands will either have new ingredients or be rich, but in any case, they must have their own technology and characteristics, otherwise there will be no chance even if they are rich.

Haa co-founder Bai Xue

Speculation will be shuffled.


There are two kinds of innovations in the industry: minimally invasive products and great brand innovations. Micro-innovation needs to be done all the time, and it is the daily work of the brand to continuously optimize products and services according to the feedback from the market and consumers. Brand innovation takes time, such as developing new raw materials and applying for patents with high gold content, which takes at least two or three years to settle, and it is difficult to achieve it in a short time.

In addition, affected by the uncertainty inside and outside the industry, the industry flow dividend and capital dividend will gradually decrease, and the industry will return to stability and be less impetuous. Brands that do things will be more determined to do things, and speculative behavior will be shuffled.

Chen Shaojun, Chairman of China Fragrance, Flavor and Cosmetic Industry Association

Seize the opportunity of the industry from quantitative change to qualitative change

After decades of rapid development, the current industry R&D and sales have encountered bottlenecks. In terms of research and development, there is an opportunity to break through the stock through the integration of various cutting-edge sciences, but there has not been a substantial breakthrough. In terms of sales, Internet dividends, like traditional sales models, are basically stock consumption, and new breakthroughs are expected.

In addition, the industry should pay attention to cross-border cooperation, such as deep integration with beauty salons in products and sales models, and expand the space for flexible production; Attention should be paid to cutting-edge, and the ideas of these enterprises often give new inspiration to the industry.

In short, I hope that the industry will seize the opportunity from quantitative change to qualitative change based on R&D, efficiency as a breakthrough, science and technology as a guide, internal strength as a cornerstone, comprehensive innovation as a purpose and head enterprises as a benchmark.


Liang Dong, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Zhongke Xinyang

Synthetic biology will further open up the application space

At present, raw material innovation is the biggest pain point in the beauty industry. Taking domestic cosmetic raw materials as an example, it has long been dependent on imports, and its independent research and development ability is insufficient, and raw materials are precisely the focus that determines the efficacy of products and consumers’ attention. To do a good job in products, we must first do a good job in science and technology. Many domestic beauty brands are increasing their investment in basic scientific research, and upstream raw material enterprises, especially synthetic biology enterprises, are widely favored by capital and market.

Synthetic biology technology can realize the iteration of raw material production mode, improve safety, stability and biological activity, especially customize this kind of substance according to specific requirements, which can meet different skin needs and achieve accurate goals; Solve the pain points and shortcomings of many classic raw materials, and further open up the application space; Synthetic biology, as a low-carbon, green and environmentally-friendly cutting-edge production method, can effectively reduce the carbon emissions of cosmetics enterprises and achieve the national carbon-neutral development goal, which is also an inevitable choice for the new trend of Clean Beauty cosmetics.


Ding Wenfeng, founder of Shenzhen Weiqi Pharmaceutical R&D Co., Ltd.

The beauty market will continue to "look east"

China’s beauty market will continue to "look eastward", and the market focus will further shift from Guangzhou in South China to Shanghai, Hangzhou and other East China cities; In addition, many domestic counterparts are actively deploying overseas markets. For example, Vicky Technology has set up offices in the United States and France. From the category point of view, there have always been opportunities in the beauty industry, such as whitening, hair loss prevention, mosquito repellent and other market segments, and there are still many opportunities to be explored.


Innovation is bound to be the main theme. I believe that in the future, more and more new raw materials will be successfully declared in the national catalogue and become an important value in products. But good products are not only the accumulation of raw materials, but also require brands to have a deeper understanding of their own products, channels and consumers. Vicky is willing to continue in-depth study in this area, enhance her understanding of the beauty market, and share resources with the whole industry.

Fan Jun, President of China Department Store Business Association

The advantages of leading enterprises will be more obvious.


The trend of the beauty market may change: First, the advantages of leading companies are more obvious, and the group market share of cosmetics is relatively concentrated. Second, explosive information infusion and frequent marketing events have contributed to the "explosive product strategy" of the industry. Third, the number of entrants has increased and brand competition has intensified. Fourth, the rise of the national tide continues to occupy an increasingly important position.

In terms of categories, high-end functional skin care products, personalized makeup, combination suits and lipsticks will continue to show hot spots and maintain growth.


Fan Wenhua, founder and chairman of Fan Wenhua facial care chain

Online and offline must work together and be strong.


In the future, the beauty market in China will show the following trends: First, the regulation and supervision will continue to be strengthened, which will promote the development of the industry to be healthier, and at the same time, it will continue to speed up the reshuffle of the industry.

Second, for consumers, the fragmented consumption environment needs a fragmented service model. It is difficult to solve customers’ skin care pain points and needs simply by offline store experience or only by online channel sales of skin care products. Therefore, online and offline work together to meet users’ needs and make enterprises have a virtuous circle effect.

Third, technological empowerment will be further enhanced. Users will make their first choice because of "brand", but it must be "efficacy and experience" that can keep customers choosing. Therefore, we see that more and more brands begin to attach importance to research and development, and begin to analyze users’ skin problems and needs with various high-tech applications such as AR and artificial intelligence, so as to give users better solutions and experiences.


Fu Yanhong, Business Director of DSM Personal Care and Fragrance Materials in Greater China

Pure beauty is a reflection of sustainable response.


In the communication with upstream and downstream enterprises, we are glad to see that more and more brands or consumers are beginning to respond to sustainability. In fact, the popular "pure beauty" in the industry is also a reflection of sustainable response. In this regard, DSM has also been updating its product line. At present, we have updated a number of products to the Clean Beauty version, which can respond to consumers’ demands for environmental protection.

In order to maximize the positive impact, we strive to instill sustainability strategies in every stage and every field of operation. In order to promote this process, we have introduced the principles of sustainable procurement and sustainable innovation, hoping to implant the concept of sustainability at the start-up stage. At the same time, we also hope to encourage more enterprises to join the ranks of sustainability, penetrate the concept of sustainability into all aspects of business, emphasize the value of sustainability, and help our brands better serve end consumers.

Fang Xiangming, CEO of Shanghai Quanli Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

It will develop better to be specialized and strong.

In 2023, which is full of uncertainty, a big factory that does everything by itself may not be the only way to develop, but a business model that is specialized and strong and can produce flexibly will be better.

Copy a little of any new market ideas, and if you don’t continue to strengthen your core technology, it will only be consumed in the domestic market in the end. For example, some domestic manufacturers can synthesize boson, which is really powerful, but if their eyes are enlarged to the international level, can’t India synthesize it? Other people’s markets may not be smaller than ours, the cost of enterprises may not be higher than ours, and others may not be playing against the United States …

Personally, I still feel that we should take inspiration from what we are good at and inherit from China to continuously strengthen the enterprise foundation and encourage domestic counterparts to cooperate. A lot of repeated investment (especially capital and equipment) is unnecessary or even harmful for at least two years.

Fan Yuan, Vice President of Huaxi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Innovation in research and development of new raw materials is the key

In the future, China’s skin care market will still take "scientific and technological innovation" as the primary condition, accurate and safe skin care efficacy as the necessary condition, take research and development as the main orientation, and take the iterative upgrade of big star products as the product operation strategy to build market competitiveness and enhance brand competitiveness and consumer cognition.

Consumers’ acceptance of domestic products will be higher and higher, especially functional skin care products, and the innovation of new raw materials is the key. Consumers of beauty cosmetics and skin care in China are smart consumers, and the efficacy and safety of cosmetic raw materials are the primary factors in their choice. The classified management of new cosmetic raw materials by market supervision will further stimulate the enthusiasm of enterprises for R&D and innovation.

Huaxi Bio-raw materials started from scratch, and took the lead in arranging synthetic organisms. Two research platforms and six technical platforms built a sustainable innovation R&D system of Huaxi Bio, which ensured more development space for the follow-up innovation of skin care-grade raw materials of Huaxi Bio.

Gong Tiangui, founder and &CEO of Huaxikou

"Sustainable pure beauty" will become the main theme in the future.


Increasingly rational consumers have regarded efficacy as a hard indicator of payment, and with the increasing supervision, the beauty market has entered a new stage of success or failure based on "product efficacy".

"Sustainable and pure beauty" will become the main theme in the future. In 2023-2024, the innovative direction of skin care in the global market ranked green, pure and natural, while the domestic "double-carbon" strategy was launched, and the trend of "pure and sustainable" became more concrete. Besides paying attention to efficacy, the brand’s performance in ingredient safety, environmental protection packaging materials and corporate responsibility was becoming one of the important indicators for consumers to choose, and it was also a key link to enhance brand and product loyalty. The prosperity of pure beauty just confirms the signs of "sustainable" development.

Huang Xiaodong, Chairman of Mofa Shijia

Functional skin care is just needed.


With the increase of problem skin, and the expansion of the team of component party and efficacy party, functional skin care has become just needed. Correspondingly, consumers have higher requirements for product efficacy, safety and quality. At the same time, based on the continuous updating of user needs, category development tends to be subdivided, younger and diversified. In the overall stable development of the beauty market, product efficacy and brand protection are important considerations for beauty and skin care consumers.

In the past 15 years, Membrane Family has always focused on mask categories, leaving users with the brand impression of "specializing in masks". In the future, we will continue to deepen the cultivation of mask categories, and take efficacy as the king and precise skin care as the cornerstone, further subdivide the efficacy of mask products, accelerate the breakthrough and innovation in the four fields of anti-aging, acne, whitening and repair, deepen communication with users, and meet the needs of users as much as possible.

Huang Yongzhen, President of Amore Pacific China

The demand for functional skin care is increasing day by day.


With the change of social environment and the rise of social media, consumers in China are increasingly demanding functional skin care. More and more concepts, such as early C and late A, sensitive skin care and so on, quickly entered the field of vision of consumers in China, and the consumption mentality of functional skin care gradually matured. We believe that there is still plenty of room for development in this track in the future.

At the same time, consumers’ demand for environmentally and socially friendly products is increasing day by day, and the impact of sustainability on purchasing decisions is also increasing. To this end, we promise to embody 100% environmental/social friendly attributes in new products and carry out brand activities to promote customers’ sustainable lifestyle. For example, Yue Shi Feng Yin Lan Capsule Cream uses renewable environmental protection packaging materials and plastic-reducing replacement equipment; The bottle cap and body of Fu Li Myna’s soothing and repairing moisturizing cream are made of renewable plastic and glass respectively, and the instructions are printed on the packaging box to reduce unnecessary resource consumption.


Huang Jinfeng, founder, chairman and CEO of Yixian E-commerce

The new pursuit of skin care brings more opportunities for cutting-edge brands


With the advent of the post-epidemic era, consumers in China pay more attention to healthy lifestyles, and the demand for products to maintain skin health and solve skin problems will rise rapidly. Refinement of skin care, pursuit of use effect and more attention to product ingredients have become the new pursuit of skin care for the younger generation of consumers, which has also spawned more vertical and layered consumer demand points such as sensitive muscle repair. This will bring more opportunities for cutting-edge brands.

I believe that in the future, more beauty brands will integrate their own and external, and even global scientific research forces to launch more high-quality functional cosmetics according to the skin characteristics and problems of China people, which contains huge imagination.

Raw material customization will become a brand standard.


The track is more "diversified", for example, the number of people who repair after skits, men’s skin care and medical arts will increase; Scenes are more "subdivided", such as outdoor camping and emotional healing at home, which will bring new demands; R&D is more "involuted", and raw material customization will gradually become the standard of every brand, and the first player will get a bonus.

We see that bionic, bio-fermentation, synthetic biology and precise targeted regulation are the main directions of cosmetics research and development in the future. Therefore, Schino is rooted in the track of "precise skin care" and puts forward an exclusive four-quadrant research and development formula of "precise skin care": core component screening+carrier transportation system+formula design tool+clinical efficacy evaluation, and takes the above paradigm of "precise skin care" as the guiding ideology of research and development.

Next, based on the scientific logic of the R&D model, we will strive to solve key problems such as targeted delivery, active sustained release, transdermal absorption and efficacy quantification, and make truly safe, scientific and effective products.


Kangle, head of Aauto Quicker e-commerce beauty cosmetics personal care industry

Brands can try to expand multiple channels.


From the category point of view, I think the beauty brands that focus on pure ingredients, excellent makeup effect and efficacy will be further developed. In terms of channels, beauty brands can actively try to expand more channels, such as community e-commerce, take-away platforms, etc. For example, Watson has settled in Meituan, Nature Hall has settled in Hungry, and opened up different retail channels to gain more sales growth. Possibility.

Specific to our live e-commerce platform, beauty businesses are also facing more requirements and changes. On the one hand, platform merchants must adhere to laws and regulations, serve consumers well and fulfill their trust; On the other hand, it is also necessary to continuously improve the ability of content to plant grass, and better show the product characteristics and advantages through short videos and live broadcasts.

In addition, I expect that more and more brands will make more attempts in the meta-universe layout in the future. Online purchase of products that cannot be tried has always been the biggest reason why many consumers have doubts about the quality and effect of products. The application of meta-cosmic technology has brought new ideas to solve problems, such as AR makeup fitting and virtual makeup, which can effectively restore the offline makeup fitting experience, and virtual anchor can further solve the problem of business efficiency.

Skin care for children is a new direction.


At present, more and more dermatologists are joining the cosmetics industry, and they provide professional knowledge from many aspects, such as basic skin problems, basic lesions and sub-health problems, which are helpful for enterprises to set a correct direction for research and development. For example, sensitive skin, anti-aging, acne, skin barrier damage and other issues are the focus of product development.

Besides, children’s skin care is a new direction. The new regulations can not only ensure the safety of children’s products, but also provide a basis for the development of children’s products. At present, pediatricians have joined the cosmetics industry, so I think the development of children’s cosmetics will break out in the next few years. Accordingly, in the field of children’s cosmetics, it is very necessary to carry out research and development exploration and innovation, and finally create their own brands.

Bio-fermentation technology helps the development and utilization of characteristic plant resources


The new regulations on cosmetics clearly point out that "it is encouraged to research and develop cosmetics by combining modern science and technology with traditional advantageous projects and characteristic plant resources". Therefore, using bio-fermentation technology to help the development and utilization of characteristic plant resources is one of the innovative angles of bio-fermentation raw materials in the future. The future trend is more likely to be the common development and integration of biological fermentation technology, plant extraction and chemical synthesis.

At present, there are three main forms of bio-fermentation technology used in cosmetics: the first is the fermentation products of special proprietary strains, such as Pitera live cell yeast essence and bifidus yeast fermentation product lysate cultivated by Bifidobacterium Estee Lauder; The second is to use fermentation technology to replace the monomer active ingredients obtained by traditional chemical synthesis, such as the hot functional ingredients such as ekdoline, sodium hyaluronate and ergothionine. The third is plant fermentation. The activity of enriching nutrients through microbial fermentation is much higher than that of traditional plant extraction methods, and at the same time, it can effectively reduce the toxicity of plant components.

Cosmetics will enter a new era of "precise skin care"


In recent years, well-known domestic dermatologists and cosmetics experts innovatively put forward the concept of "precise skin care", aiming at different skin problems, through research and excavation of the mechanism of skin problems, from the precise anchoring of skin targets/functional pathways, to the precise screening and scientific combination of active ingredients, to the precise transdermal delivery of core active ingredients with high bioavailability, so as to realize "precise skin care" of functional cosmetics.

It can be predicted that functional cosmetics will enter a new era of "precise skin care" in the future, and the research and development of high-performance functional skin care products need to comprehensively apply life science and technology, as well as multidisciplinary collaborative innovation such as dermatology, dermatopharmacology, dermatopharmacy (transdermal drug delivery technology) and cosmetic formulation technology. Therefore, constructing the theoretical system of "precise skin care", guiding the research and development of high-performance and functional cosmetics, and applying innovative technologies under the guidance of innovative theories will be an important development trend of high-performance and functional skin care products in the future.


Liu Chuangao, founder of Golden Beetle

Changes in the beauty market depend more on policies.


I think a lot of big probabilities of market changes do not depend on the market or industry, but on policies. For example, for example, the "double reduction" of the education and training industry is only a guiding opinion and almost kills an industry. Therefore, what changes the industry will have in the future depends more on the policy level than on the industry or market level.

As far as beauty retail is concerned, offline and online are now in an anxious balance point, and the cost of online is not low. One of its opportunities to break offline is that the rent burden of the entire physical store can show a gradual downward trend. At present, the rent is almost the highest expense of all physical stores. From this perspective, if the future rent can decline and reach a balance, then this may be an opportunity.


Ian Xu, Head of HARMAY Huamei Market and User Operation

The consumption potential of male cosmetics market is great.


The loose epidemic policy and the return of offline people will bring a recovery period for offline people entering the store. Matching the increase of passenger flow, further promoting the degree of specialization in the service field and thus promoting the transformation will become the focus of the store. At the same time, it will also be an advantage opportunity under the new round of policy stimulation to build brand power, enhance the brand memory of customers entering the store and the innovation drive of private domain communities, and keep the flow of people in the private domain of brands to the greatest extent.

With the continuous promotion of the concept of beauty and skin care, the current male consumers’ willingness to buy cosmetics and price acceptance are constantly improving. Compared with women’s cosmetics market, men’s cosmetics market is still in the blue ocean market, with great consumption potential, and the market needs to be further explored.

Mai Yaoya, Vice President (Marketing Planning) of Northbell Cosmetics Co., Ltd. and Chief Executive Officer of Northbell (Hangzhou) Company.

Cosmetics market has officially entered a rational era.


In 2022, it was called "the first year of efficacy" by many people in the industry. After a year of "efficacy education", the market’s choice of skin care products has become more and more professional, and the scientific proportion of ingredients has become the new key to appeal. CBNDATA shows that the proportion/formula of concerned ingredients is as high as 73% in consumers’ attention to the ingredients of skin care products. This also indicates that the cosmetics market has officially entered a rational era, and focusing on research and development technology, reshaping majors and seizing consumers’ minds are important breakthroughs.


Therefore, it is the direction that Northbell is working hard and will continue to work hard in the future to strengthen word-of-mouth shaping, scientifically match efficacy and bearing forms, and realize differentiated and advanced products.

Maggie, co-founder of Pellet Group

Make-up+skin care has become a trend


In the channel change, from the original "operation-driven" to "content-driven", a large number of content-driven channel enterprises will be born. Realize mutual projection between online and offline: online planting grass drives offline trial, offline service, instant satisfaction, etc. promote user purchase conversion, and feed back online product word-of-mouth communication.

On the consumer side, consumers tend to be younger, domestic brands rise, and national style elements are increasingly sought after. In addition, the consumer groups of "component party" and "efficacy control" are dominant, and consumption tends to be rational.

On the product side, innovative product thinking combining makeup and skin care is needed. At present, the cosmetics market in China is in the growth stage, and it is necessary to meet the diversified beauty care needs if you want to stand out among many brands. Consumers all hope to get long-lasting and high-performance cosmetics, especially those that use skin care ingredients to provide moisturizing and durability.

Ruan Jinjian, Deputy General Manager of Jinsheng New Materials

The overall trend of packaging materials is multi-material fusion.

In the coming year, China’s beauty market should be more finely divided, and each brand will strive to highlight its own brand power. At the same time, the beauty market will pay more attention to the individual needs of consumers, and there will be more and more cross-border brands, personalized products and cross-border products.

In 2023, the overall trend of beauty packaging is the integration of multiple materials, simplicity is not simple, low-key luxury, exquisite personality; In terms of plastic packaging containers, the proportion of environmental protection materials will be higher and higher. The market performance of beauty packaging in 2023 should be on the rise as a whole. However, due to the need for a stage of macroeconomic recovery, the proportion of small-batch orders will rise.


Wu Qinglin, founder of Merrill Lynch Beauty Cosmetics

Offline channels should do two things well.

Personally, I think offline channels should be done from two aspects. First, we should strengthen the superiority of goods. The optimization of commodities probably includes eliminating unsalable products in time, introducing new products in time, purchasing seasonal products and best-selling products in advance, and forming a reproducible product selection model. In this way, with the continuous optimization of our products, we can further improve the competitiveness of our stores.The second is team building. It probably includes these aspects: first, competitive salary; Second, there is an open, inclusive and equal corporate culture; Third, a more optimized staff training system, so as to create an excellent management team and management team.

Xie Yong, founder of Plant Doctor brand and chairman of Beijing Plant Doctor Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Focusing on market segments is a good way to survive.

As for the long-term change direction in the future, in fact, the markets in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea have given us a good reference, that is, the market is constantly concentrated, and there is also a long-tailed differentiated market, which will lead to several things. First, a few companies will get more and more resources. Second, if they want to survive, they will either give up the market, divide it or occupy some more differentiated market space.

China is a market with a vast territory, very complicated levels, and its consumption habits and customs are greatly different from those of other countries, which also creates many opportunities for some long-tail markets of brands. If a brand wants to survive, it is a good way to focus on a market segment, which is also a way to avoid being concentrated.

General Manager of Kose Cosmetics Sales (China) Co., Ltd. Kazuhara Shinohara

Will pay more attention to the creation of new beauty methods.


Skin care products, especially high-end skin care products, not only exert their strength in efficacy, products and technology, but also pay great attention to the texture and aroma of products. These elements are also very necessary for the success of a skin care product. Good packaging, skin feel and fragrance will bring people a sense of pleasure. This sense of pleasure can give people psychological hints, which will stimulate the spirit and make the body and mind happy, thus achieving a good skin care effect.

Therefore, compared with the breakthrough in composition, brands like Deke, which rely on the concept of "comprehensive beauty", will pay more attention to the creation of new beauty methods. In the future, we may focus on the adjustment and creation of the internal mechanism of the human body, for example, by promoting the production of happy hormones in the human body, to strengthen the beauty of the body itself.

Wei Xue, Managing Director of Northeast Asia of Beiersdorf Group

Technology skin care and precision skin care have become the new normal.


Under the background of economic recovery, China’s fast-growing domestic consumer market is an important development opportunity for us. The rapidly growing demand of China consumers for high-quality and personalized products naturally brings us huge development space for foreign-funded enterprises.

Looking into the future, consumers’ demand for products will change greatly, and they will constantly improve the requirements of product efficacy, which will make scientific skin care and precise skin care become the normal state in the future. At the same time, we also found that China’s digital technology innovation is a very valuable opportunity, which is also an important factor to attract many enterprises to invest and develop in China.

Nowadays, the mode of "technology+skin care" has become an important development direction of the industry in the future. Therefore, in terms of digital construction, Beiersdorf has been perfecting the digital infrastructure construction and actively establishing his own digital talent pool with the help of digital platforms and tools. Strengthening cooperation with China enterprises in innovation, especially in digital economy, is undoubtedly of great significance to enterprises.

Yue Min, General Manager of Baiyuete Biotechnology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Strong efficacy mask is still the first choice for brand star products.

Aiming at the skin care needs of specific people, providing diversified life and different scenes, ampoule essence and powerful facial mask are still the first choice for brand star products. In addition, the functional food sector is also one of the future opportunities. Baiyuete has completed the research and development of TCI999 ancient prescription bacteria with the efficacy of large-scale IRB human clinical experiment and TCI188 tooth-whitening beneficial bacteria fermentation essence, which can expand the horizontal product sales matrix for the brand. Recently, we also launched a new probiotic cream for children’s skin allergies, which will be on the market soon.

Jolie, founder of Luoyang Color

Specialization will become the core competitiveness of physical stores


After several years’ development and the change of consumer habits caused by the epidemic, online new media will gradually become the main channel, and physical stores will face a more serious traffic crisis. In the future, physical stores will definitely strive for the ability to retain customers and lock customers, and specialization will become the core competitiveness. Therefore, products and services are constant topics. As a physical chain, we need to provide consumers with differentiated products and services with visible effects.

Zhu Hong, General Manager of Guangzhou Zhongtong Biochemical Products Co., Ltd.

Meet the needs of market segments

The breakthrough point of cosmetics lies in creating products to solve the demand, just as P&G’s earliest 2in1 shampoo solved the problem of convenient hair washing, and has been leading the market for 30 years. Many of our current cutting-edge brands are meeting the needs of increasingly segmented people. No matter how big this group is, as long as it is really in demand and can form repurchase stickiness, there will be a chance to form a breakthrough point. The improvement of current information and data services can get inspiration from past experience to create products, but the key to the breakthrough point of products lies in people, and the truth that customers don’t know what they don’t know is eternal.


Zhang Chubiao, Chairman and President of Danzi Group

Brand Breakthrough Driven by Category


Generally speaking, China consumers are upgrading from basic skin care to exquisite care, and the sales of essences, creams and high-end masks will be further improved; At the same time, users’ pursuit of skin care products has entered a high-quality stage, and it is becoming more and more mature for domestic products to focus on creating high-end star items and drive brands to break through by categories. There are only a few basic categories of skin care products and make-up, and it seems that they have almost been finalized.

However, if we have in-depth insight from the perspective of users, we can find many opportunities for innovation. Taking facial mask as an example, after the basic models of facial mask and mud film, peeling facial mask, good night frozen mask, bubble facial mask and freeze-dried facial mask have appeared in the industry. Now, there are some brands that combine micro-current into the face film, and also add the effect of electronic beauty.

I think, because the market in China is large enough, as long as it can meet the needs of a small number of people, it can support the survival and development of a category or brand.

Zheng Chunying, Chairman of Galand Group

In 2023, "digital drive and efficiency are king"


In 2022, thanks to three years of digital construction, organizational change and product innovation, Galand achieved sales of +2.6% year-on-year and maintained 43,000 retail terminals; 15.04 million new consumer data assets were added. More importantly, we have also gained a lot in digital transformation. At present, the proportion of our digital camp has reached 98.8%, which is 50.8% higher than that of 2019. The proportion of digital retail reached 67.1%, an increase of 105.7% compared with 2019. Among them, Nature Hall’s digital revenue accounted for 99%, and omni-channel digital retail reached 67.2%.

Facing 2023, Galand Group will increase its revenue, that is, the target will increase by 18%; But also a substantial increase in profits; We also need high-quality growth, that is, from scale growth with only sales volume but no quality to quality value growth. To this end, we need to do the following three things well: carry out overall organizational changes; A plate of goods should begin to play a role in improving efficiency and reducing costs; Strengthen process management and improve performance management.

At present, we are in an era of increasing uncertainty, and we don’t know what will happen when we wake up every day, and the business risks of enterprises are getting bigger and bigger. Everyone should have a clear understanding of this. In the new year, we need to go hand in hand with the brave, face the severe external situation together, set higher goals and make major changes: digital drive and efficiency are king.


Rambling, just want to explain what is "culture"

Why do you want to talk about culture? Because people can’t do without culture. People practice culture all the time.

What is culture? The dictionary says: culture is the sum of material wealth and spiritual wealth created by human beings. Especially spiritual wealth, such as literature, art, education, science, etc.

Of course, the popular concept of culture is not so beautiful, probably because people like elegance, so everything they want to culture has become culture. The least funny thing is that even the toilet has become a culture. In fact, the toilet can really be a culture. Because culture is a collection of human activities and human history.

In textbooks, "culture" is a word and the label is a noun. But I always think that culture is a combination of two words, or a phrase. First, "Wen" is a noun, and the last word is "Hua", a verb.

In fact, culture is a process. The process of culture is the process that the whole human society bid farewell to primitiveness and ignorance, and to ignorance and barbarism. The process of culture is the process of human civilization.

Culture is not civilization, but only when culture exists can civilization exist. Culture is the foundation of civilization. Without culture, there is no civilization.

Therefore, as long as human beings exist, culture must exist, and as long as there are human beings, culture must exist.

This is culture.

The most profitable mobile game in July was announced! Netease has two explosions in succession, or become the biggest winner in the summer?

Hello, everyone, this is the surprise game, and I’m the little brother.

Not long ago, Sensor Tower, a well-known mobile application data analysis company, announced the global top mobile game revenue list in June 2023. Which games are on the list? What’s the mystery? I will give you an analysis today!

Note: The data does not include the third-party Android market in China and other regions.

Income list: The top 10 are the glory of the king, PUBGM, Against the Water, Royal Match, candy crush saga, Roblox, Collapse: Star Dome Railway, Gold Coin Master and MONOPOLY GO! "enchanted gardens"

The glory of the king took in $220 million (about RMB 1.6 billion) in the global App Store and Google Play this month, and there is no doubt that it will continue to win the global mobile game bestseller list.

On July 8th, the game launched Milady’s perfect holiday skin, which set the peak of income in that month. With the return of two limited skins, the introduction of new hero Doria, and the update of summer welfare, the game not only maintained the strong interest of players, but also further consolidated the champion position on the best-selling list.

Tencent’s PUBG Mobile (combined with Peace Elite) regained the second place from Collapse: Star Dome Railway with a revenue of 172 million US dollars.

On July 4th, with the introduction of new function carrier replacement, the game topped the best-selling list of iPhone mobile games in China for four consecutive days. On July 7, the game launched the activity of "Pure Dream Wedding Yarn" and set a revenue peak for that month. Continuing its success, on July 14th, the game cooperated with Sega to launch Sonik-themed skin, which further increased the revenue.

Netease’s "Going Against the Water" mobile game was launched on June 30, ranking third on the list with a revenue of $113 million. Thanks to the excellent art design and rich game content, from June 30th, the martial arts MMORPG mobile game "Going Against the Water" was ranked among the top 3 best sellers of iPhone mobile games in China during July, and the whole summer file almost became the home of this product!

Before opening the service, 45 million reservations were made, PCU exceeded 1 million in 10 minutes, and it topped the best-selling list twice, and 40 million players were recruited in a month. In addition, the game also topped the global mobile game revenue growth list in July. These data look terrible!

It is worth mentioning that in this month’s income list, Mihayou’s "Collapse: Star Dome Railway" is still barely on the list, and "The Original God" has disappeared directly. It seems that the 3.8 summer version of "The Original God" is "clear summer! Paradise? Great secret! " , because Youqu and Keli are replicas, their flowing water level is among the lowest among many versions since the original God beta.

However, the original God launched a new version of 4.0 Fontaine on August 16th, which may make the original God return to the income list?

Income growth list: The top ten are Against the Water, PUBGM, The Legend of Guild Wars in Dragon Ball, Crystal Nucleus, MONOPOLY GO, Call of Duty Mobile Games, Royal Match, Top Speed, Blue Archives and Soul of Professional Baseball A.

In July, the revenue growth performance of Crystal Nucleus by DNF, a porcelain-touching company, was also excellent. Since the public beta on July 14th, Crystal Nucleus has further occupied the bestseller list after the airborne free list.

According to the data of the three-party platform, it is estimated that the total platform flow of Crystal Nucleus has reached 400-500 million yuan within 12 days after the game was released, and it is estimated that the single-day flow will be 30 million yuan or even higher, making it the highest-paid game of domestic action RPG, taking off directly with ByteDance’s game business, and doubling the flow.

In addition, Netease’s "Peak Speed" also maintained a high income growth in July. With highly realistic racing, personalized customization and immersive experience, Peak Speed successfully entered the seventh place in the revenue growth list in the first month of its release, which is very rare as a racing game.

Thanks to the opening of the national service, the game "Blue Files", which has been on the shelves for many years, once again reached the revenue growth list. On the first day of the national service public beta, the flow of iOS reached 1.62 million.

In fact, the foreign service of "Blue Archives" has reached more than 240 million US dollars at the beginning of the year, and the annual income peaked at 2 billion. The original performance was very good, and the opening of the national service made "Blue Archives" make another big profit.

However, at present, "Blue Files" has fallen beyond the top 100 in the best-selling list of games in the AppStore. I wonder if the success of Japanese clothing can be copied? Can the fire continue in August?

A positive shock problemWhat games did you play in July?

The game is back!

On December 1, the three major indexes of A-shares fluctuated and sorted out. As of the close, the Shanghai Composite Index rose by 0.07% to close at 3031.64 points. Shenzhen Component Index fell 0.07% to close at 9720.57 points; The growth enterprise market index rose 0.19% to close at 1926.28 points. In terms of industry sectors, the TMT tracks such as games, education, cultural media, Internet services, software development and communication services rose collectively, and the AI application side strengthened collectively, while the short drama and game sectors continued to be strong. Motors, auto parts, airports and general equipment sectors were among the top losers.

In the afternoon, after the news that the state-owned capital operation company entered the market to buy ETF came out, the index ushered in a turning point, with the Chinese prefix taking the lead, followed by AI+ dreaming back to the first half of the year, and the application side set off a daily limit. On December 1, the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges traded 834.1 billion yuan. In terms of northbound funds, Shanghai Stock Connect sold 4.062 billion yuan and Shenzhen Stock Connect sold 935 million yuan, and the two cities sold 4.997 billion yuan.

In the news, AIGC tools such as AI+ video quickly landed. At the beginning of the year, HeyGen launched, which can help users create promotional videos through AI digital people. Since Runway released Gen-2 in early November, AI video tools such as MetaEmuVideo, Byte PixelDance, and StableVideoDiffusion were released on 16th and 21st. On November 28th, Pika, an AI startup, announced that Pika1.0, its AI video generation software, launched a major upgrade and officially opened an early beta version after more than four months of internal community testing, which quickly became popular on major social media.

A leading A-share game company officially released the "Tiangong SkyAgents" platform on December 1st. On the Tiangong SkyAgents platform, users can deploy their own AIAgents in a few minutes through natural language and simple operation without code programming, and complete many personal tailor needs such as industry research report, document filling, trademark design, and even fitness plan and travel flight reservation. A leading A-share game company is also developing a series of "Three-body" games, and plans to build a large model of the domestic game industry with Yuncong Technology.

Tencent’s companies issued a "script solicitation order" to enter the short drama industry. The platform promises to bring 15,000-50,000 guaranteed remuneration to the authors, and a maximum of 2% of the running accounts. Reading Group has unified requirements and regulations in four aspects: content standard, original submission requirements, adaptation submission requirements and submission instructions. The short play market has entered the stage of a hundred flowers blooming. The platform with rich IP reserves and strong script development ability is helpful to grasp the audience’s aesthetics, help the writers to create and adapt the content, pave the way for the future short play content, and is expected to seize the market share in advance. The game sector with fundamental advantages can be given priority.

In terms of film and television, the recent release of two high-topic films has led to the marginal recovery of the film market. "I am a mountain" has been searched in Weibo many times, and the suspense film Across the Furious Sea is the second film with a box office forecast exceeding 500 million after the National Day file. Driven by this, the weekend box office is showing a marginal improvement trend, and the Saturday/Sunday box office has reached the highest since the National Day file. There are still many blockbuster films released in December, which is expected to undertake a relatively high enthusiasm for watching movies, and the film market is expected to continue to recover. It is estimated that there is still room for recovery in the film market in 2024, which is expected to grow steadily to 58-60 billion yuan, basically returning to the level of 2019 (64.266 billion yuan).

At the same time, the game film and television industry is the most certain direction for AIGC to reduce costs and increase efficiency. With the accelerated investment in the industry, industry changes such as reducing costs and increasing efficiency and playing innovation will be gradually reflected. Under the normalization of the version number, the supply cycle of the game industry is gradually opened; The audience’s willingness to watch movies rebounded, the demand for film and television picked up, and the prosperity of the game and film industry continued to rise. After pre-adjustment, the cost performance of plate investment has improved.

From the catalyst point of view, the rapid landing of AI+ video (pika, heygen), the expected release of Apple MR, and the new increment of AR glasses, the media has a lot to watch in the New Year’s market. The market space of the industry is still relatively broad, and it has certain allocation value after the callback. We can continue to pay attention to the investment opportunities of game ETF(516010), film ETF(516620) and other related targets.

Both the software and computer sectors achieved good gains that day, with the software ETF(515230) closing up by 3.12% and the computer ETF(512720) closing up by 2.89%.

From the policy point of view, the computer software sector bears the important mission of the transition from industrial economy to digital economy. Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Party has drawn a grand blueprint for the deep integration of digital economy and real economy. At present, the digital transformation of manufacturing industry has become the general trend. With the infiltration and integration of new generation information technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence and blockchain into manufacturing industry, the value of data elements has been further released. The computer software sector plays a decisive role in promoting business process transformation and promoting fundamental changes in production methods, organizational forms and business models of enterprises.

A detailed analysis of the subdivision direction of the computer software sector shows that artificial intelligence is a main line with high certainty at present, and the world is waiting for highly active AI applications to achieve a "closed loop", thus driving the next round of growth from computing power to application penetration. In the domestic market, data elements continue to brew. In April 2020, China explicitly listed data elements as new production factors for the first time. By 2H23, the data industry has ushered in a series of top-level design catalysis, and data elements are expected to become an important main line of the computer software sector.

From the perspective of supply and demand, Xinchuang and the digitalization of central state-owned enterprises are expected to lead the computer software sector to open up new growth space. Under the background of weak downstream digitalization demand and delayed digitalization expenditure of SME customers in 2023, the digitalization investment of central state-owned enterprises still shows some resilience in the big environment. With the release of new demand for digitalization and the promotion of industry localization, the digitalization investment of central state-owned enterprises is expected to continue marginal upward in the following quarter, leading the computer software market to open up long-term and stable growth space.

Interested partners can pay attention to the software ETF(515230) and the computer ETF(512720) to grasp the overall investment opportunities in the computer and software fields, or they can pay attention to the Xinchuang ETF(159537) to lay out the investment opportunities for information technology application innovation with one click, but they should also be wary of the fluctuation risk because the short-term orders are less than expected.

Risk warning:

Investors should fully understand the difference between fixed-term investment and lump-sum withdrawal of funds. Regular fixed investment is a simple and easy way to guide investors to make long-term investment and average investment cost. However, fixed-term investment can not avoid the inherent risks of fund investment, can not guarantee investors to obtain income, and is not an equivalent financial management method to replace savings. Both stock ETF/LOF funds are securities investment funds with higher expected risks and expected returns, and their expected returns and expected risks are higher than those of hybrid funds, bond funds and money market funds. Fund assets invested in science and technology innovation board and GEM stocks will face unique risks caused by differences in investment targets, market systems and trading rules, so investors should pay attention to them. The short-term ups and downs of the sector/fund are only used as auxiliary materials for the analysis of the article, for reference only, and do not constitute a guarantee for the fund’s performance. The short-term performance of individual stocks mentioned in this paper is for reference only, and does not constitute a stock recommendation, nor does it constitute a forecast and guarantee for the performance of the fund. The above views are for reference only and do not constitute investment suggestions or commitments. If you need to buy related fund products, please pay attention to the relevant regulations on investor suitability management, make risk assessment in advance, and buy fund products with matching risk levels according to your own risk tolerance. The fund is risky and needs to be cautious in investment.

Rivers run, birds gather, and poets sing loudly, resounding through the sky. At the end of the animated film "Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an", Li Bai finally saw the light after a rough time, and the audience felt deeply and comfortably. The creator showed the weather of the Tang Dynasty with a hearty audio-visual narrative, and also made the familiar Tang poems have a new artistic conception.

From The Return of the Great Sage on the Journey to the West, which was called "the light of the country", to the grand occasion that Ne Zha created a single box office of more than 5 billion yuan and 140 million people watched the movie, and then to the watching craze and continuous hot discussion caused by Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an … In the past 10 years, nine of the top 20 animated films at the box office in China were based on Chinese excellent traditional culture. These passionate "national style animations" activate cultural genes with contemporary aesthetics, present magnificent imagination with digital technology, explore China style and pursue China style, and become a microcosm of Chinese excellent traditional cultural innovation.

不只是动画,也不只是电影。近年来,我国文艺领域“国潮”涌动、“国风”劲刮。舞台上,《唐宫夜宴》《只此青绿》《五星出东方》,“国宝文物”翩然起舞;荧屏上,《中国诗词大会》《经典咏流传》《斯文江南》,典籍文字气韵生动;北京冬奥会开幕式上,二十四节气倒计时展示华夏独特时间观,“燕山雪花大如席”以浪漫想象穿越时空,徐徐打开的“中国门”迎纳四海宾朋……国风国潮牵动的,不仅是器物、人物和故事,更是审美、情感和认同;它所体现的,不仅是赓续文脉、续写辉煌的文化自觉,更是坚定的文化自信。

5000多年未曾中断的中华文明,为新的文化创造提供丰沛源泉,人民日益增长的精神文化需求,为推动文艺高质量发展提供源源动力。习近平总书记指出:“要把握传承和创新的关系,学古不泥古、破法不悖法,让中华优秀传统文化成为文艺创新的重要源泉。”当前文艺创新的成功探索向我们昭示:文化自信涵养文化创造,文化创造增强文化自信。强化这个正反馈,在新的起点上继续推动文化繁荣、建设文化强国、建设中华民族现代文明,是我们在新时代新的文化使命,也必将推动中华文化生生不息、奔涌向前。《 人民日报 》( 2023年09月15日 04 版)
