Independent research and development, driven by innovation, Betani, the leader of domestic beauty cosmetics, leads a new era of functional skin care development.

At the moment when consumer demand is changing and efficiency is paramount, Betani, the leader of domestic beauty products, is stepping out of a development path with technology first and innovation leading.

Recently, Betaine’s new raw materials, the extract of Erigeron breviscapus and the extract of Lychee grass, were put on record in National Medical Products Administration, and entered a three-year monitoring period, which means another major breakthrough in Betaine’s scientific research in the field of skin care.

Under the market trend of efficacy skin care, plant raw materials have become a force that cannot be ignored in the filing of new raw materials, and more and more enterprises have realized the importance of raw material innovation. The new raw materials of erigeron breviscapus extract and lychee herb extract are on the market, which is of great significance for the efficacy of products to reach a higher level and seize the market of skin care raw materials.

At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently announced the list of national technological innovation demonstration enterprises in 2023, and Betani was approved as one of 68 technological innovation demonstration enterprises. This is another national honor recently won by the company after passing the accreditation of the national industrial design center, showing its leading position in technological innovation capability and transformation of innovation achievements.

In the beauty market where homogenization is becoming more and more serious and stock competition is becoming more and more fierce, only enterprises with profound R&D strength and solid brand influence can stand out in the market competition, which is the advantage that Betani has. As a leading enterprise in the sensitive muscle beauty sub-industry, Betani relies on Yunnan’s natural plant resources and research and development of China’s characteristic plant raw materials to provide solutions to skin problems from the plant kingdom, which is worthy of the name of "the head geese".

Natural ingredients are favored, backed by Yunnan, with rare plants.

With the frequent capital operation and the accelerated entry of enterprises, the domestic beauty industry has become more and more "involuted". According to the data of Tianyancha, at least 6,500 cosmetic enterprises established in the past year have been cancelled, and the cancellation of enterprises or stores whose business scope includes "cosmetics" has exceeded 10,000, which means that the life span of these enterprises is less than one year.

With the change of consumer demand from "phenomenon" and "scene" to scientific rationality, natural green skin care products with efficacy and safety have become more popular among consumers, and pure natural plant ingredients have become a "sharp blade" for enterprises to stand out from the encirclement. Skin care products manufacturers began to return to the products themselves, focusing on technology research and development, and the natural ingredients of "plant raw materials" were gradually washed away and returned to their original hearts.

According to the relevant statistics of Markets and Markets, the global market size of plant extracts is expected to reach 58.4 billion US dollars in 2025, which is about 426.4 billion yuan. Domestic skin care products manufacturers are also following the news: The Catalogue of Used Cosmetic Raw Materials (2021 Edition) published by National Medical Products Administration shows that the number of used raw materials of cosmetics produced and sold in China has increased to 8,972, including nearly 3,000 kinds of plant raw materials, accounting for about one third.

Although China has a tradition of plant research and medicinal use, it is still in a late position in today’s technical conditions and market environment, especially in the application of plant extraction and separation technology and the middle and lower reaches. At the same time, the blank market also provides a breakthrough point for brands and factories, which is expected to help China’s characteristic plant raw materials to establish a global advantage.

In this international competition, Betani in China has become one of the best, shouldering the banner of domestic plant raw material research. With the platform advantage of Yunke Characteristic Plant Extraction Laboratory and the abundant plant resources in Yunnan, Betani R&D team conducted in-depth excavation of Yunnan characteristic plants, explored the main raw materials for skin care, such as Fructus Zanthoxyli oil and Portulaca oleracea extract, and clarified their effective concentration in principle, setting an industry benchmark for domestic plant raw material R&D enterprises in China.

Yunnan, with its diverse climate and unique advantages, is undoubtedly a fertile land. Plants including tropical, subtropical, temperate and even cold zones are bred here, and there are countless rare species. Among them, Erigeron breviscapus, also known as Erigeron breviscapus, brings the answer to skin rejuvenation and high energy activity as its name suggests. Experiments show that the extract of Erigeron breviscapus not only has obvious inhibitory effect on various inflammatory factors, but also shows excellent soothing and anti-inflammatory effects, and can effectively control skin oil and enhance the protection of skin barrier.

However, Lychee grass, which has the alias of "Snow Grass", has the effect of "fire extinguisher" on the skin. Touching the skin is like encountering a "first snow", which can quickly cool the skin, relieve the hot, painful and itchy state of sensitive muscles, effectively reduce the content of fat drops, reduce the oily state of the skin, and open a new experience of soothing and caring.

The filing of the two new raw materials in National Medical Products Administration will not only help Betani to develop new products that meet the multi-dimensional needs of consumers and enhance the company’s market competitiveness, but also effectively enhance the added value of plant resources in Yunnan Province, promote the industrialization of Yunnan’s characteristic plants, and promote the development of health industry through scientific research.

The filing of cosmetic raw materials is becoming stricter, and the policy encourages accelerating innovative research and development.

Under the market trend that efficacy skin care is becoming the mainstream day by day, plant raw materials have become a force that cannot be ignored in the filing of new raw materials, and more and more enterprises have realized the importance of raw material innovation. Especially in today’s cosmetics industry, the supervision has been strengthened and the filing of raw materials has become stricter. The filing of two raw materials has injected vitality into Bettini’s participation in the competition of skin care track dominated by plant raw materials.

Since the "Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics" was promulgated in 2021, cosmetics have entered the era of strict supervision. On November 10th, 2023, National Medical Products Administration issued "Announcement on Issues Related to Encouraging Innovation and Standardizing Management of New Cosmetic Raw Materials". The announcement pointed out that the drug regulatory authorities should strengthen the supervision and management of new raw materials and related products, and strengthen the monitoring and evaluation of the registration, use and safety of new raw materials for cosmetics, which shows that the management of raw materials for related enterprises has received great attention.

On the one hand, it is compliance supervision and on the other hand, it is support and encouragement. From the Regulation on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics issued by the State Council to encourage and support the use of modern science and technology, combined with traditional advantageous projects and characteristic plant resources in China, to the Action Plan for High-quality Development of Cosmetic Industry in Shanghai, it is proposed to strengthen the research on new raw materials, functional raw materials, flavors and fragrances and China characteristic plant resources, which shows that the central and local governments encourage the development and utilization of characteristic plant resources, thus pointing out the direction for innovative research and development of new raw materials for cosmetics.

Since its establishment, Betani has keenly captured consumers’ attention to product ingredients and formulas in the China market, and actively devoted herself to the basic research of functional skin care products. Based on the characteristic plants such as Celastrus angulatus, Portulaca oleracea, camellia yunnanensis, Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis, and Physalis alkekengi, she has carried out a large number of independent research and development related to the efficacy of relieving inflammation, anti-aging, barrier repair, plant preservation, plant acne removal and plant sun protection, and initially realized the industrialization of plant screening and extraction.

Take Winona’s star product, Shu Min Moisturizing Special Cream, as an example. The core ingredients of this product come from the extracts of Fructus Lycii and Portulaca oleracea produced in Yunnan, which not only has excellent repairing and soothing effects, but also meets the consumers’ demands for efficacy and naturalness to the greatest extent, making it a leader among similar skin care products.

In terms of sensitive skin problems, Betani continues to explore and propose new solutions. In July, 2023, the company was invited to participate in the 25th World Dermatology Conference held in Singapore. Based on the "four-in-one" whitening mechanism proposed by Professor He Li, the leader of the innovation team of the Ministry of Education, Winona released a new whitening and whitening essence, which can inhibit pigment synthesis, reduce the inflammatory reaction, reduce the proliferation and expansion of blood vessels and repair the skin barrier.

With long-term deep cultivation in the field of sensitive skin care, Betani’s market share is growing. According to Euromonitor data, from 2013 to 2022, the compound annual growth rate of China Dermocosmetics Skin Care market scale was 24.9%, while Winona’s terminal retail sales increased from 0.8 billion yuan to 6.62 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 63.0%. The market share of Dermocosmetics Skin Car in China increased from 2.1% to 23.2%, ranking first in the market share for four consecutive years.

Abundant clinical and academic resources, increase investment to break technical difficulties.

The extraction process of plant raw materials is a complex art. The whole process will go through solvent extraction, mechanical crushing, mechanical pressing, distillation and other technological means, and the vitality and essence of plants will be extracted with ingenious techniques to provide vibrant raw materials for cosmetics.

This process is not simple. From a technical point of view, the current research on plant raw materials is still in its infancy in terms of basic research depth and innovation, and it is generally faced with problems in safety, efficacy and stability, and the relevant standards are still in the formative stage, which has caused the phenomenon of insufficient stamina for the differentiation research of plant raw materials.

This is why skin care faucets such as Betani have accelerated the pace of extraction and research and development of plant raw materials. From 2017 to 2022, Betani’s R&D staff increased from 64 to 391, accounting for 6.1% to 12.8%; The amount of R&D investment increased from 29 million yuan to 278 million yuan, and the proportion of operating income increased from 3.6% to 5.6%.

Because the sensitive muscle maintenance industry has certain medical and health attributes, it is easier for enterprises jointly developed and cooperated with authoritative organizations to gain the trust of consumers in the components, functions and treatment methods of sensitive muscle maintenance-related products. By the end of 2022, Betani had completed clinical research and effect observation of dermatology in 63 hospitals, published 184 papers in SCI and core journals, and participated in the formulation of 31 group standards of efficacy skin care products in China, which was fruitful in clinical data and academic resources.

Moreover, the company held the China Sensitive Skin Summit Forum for four consecutive years, and invited authoritative dermatologists to discuss the latest research results of sensitive skin. In addition, Winona brand has deepened its professional image in the minds of doctors and consumers and led the development of the industry by publishing foreword insights. In 2023, the 4th China Sensitive Skin Summit Forum and TMIC released the White Paper on the Development Trend of Pan-sensitivity in 2023, and together with Dr. Lilac, created the New Concept of Sensitive and Pan-sensitive Skin Care.

In February last year, Betani’s Yunnan Characteristic Plant Extraction Laboratory was approved as the "National Standard Sample Calibration Laboratory for Natural Products", becoming the 37th institution awarded by the National Standard Technical Committee’s Professional Working Group for Natural Products Standard Samples. On November 30th, the company won the honorary title of "National Industrial Design Center", demonstrating its outstanding strength in innovative R&D and design.

Under the background of the upgrading of consumer demand, the favor of natural raw material products and the strengthening of industry supervision, the competition point of domestic beauty enterprises has gradually changed from marketing flow to the product’s own efficacy. Nowadays, Betani, a domestic beauty leader who insists on independent research and development and attaches importance to the innovative development of plant raw materials, is leading a new era of functional skin care development, and is expected to achieve greater development with gradually deepening brand influence and increasingly sufficient technical reserves.

Investigation of Beijing Swimming Venues: The water quality of swimming pools is generally low in residual chlorine and high in urea.

  With the coming of summer and the rising temperature, the popularity of major swimming venues in Beijing is bursting. However, is the pool of clear water really as clean as it looks? Recently, the reporter followed the staff of the Municipal Health Supervision Office to test the water quality of several outdoor swimming pools, and found that the water quality of the swimming pools tested had problems such as low residual chlorine and high urea.

  According to Liu Ying, deputy section chief of the Public Health Supervision Department of the Municipal Health Supervision Office, according to the national standards, the water quality inspection of swimming venues mainly targets at five health indicators (water temperature, residual chlorine, PH value, turbidity and ORP). Among them, if the concentration of residual chlorine is too low, it will not disinfect the pool water, and the bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms in the pool water may multiply too much, thus causing the spread of diseases; If it is too high, it may stimulate the human eye mucosa, skin mucosa and oral mucosa, especially for sensitive people such as children, women and the elderly. In addition, there is a common problem of high urea in swimming pools, which is also harmful to human body.

  After the reporter’s visit and understanding, the water quality of swimming pools is not up to standard, which is mostly caused by operators cutting corners to save money.

  site

  The residual chlorine of newly added disinfectant is still lower than the national standard.

  At 2 o’clock on the afternoon of July 6, the reporter followed the staff of the Municipal Health Supervision Office to the seaside paradise of Tuanjiehu Park in Beijing. The reporter saw at the scene that many people were swimming and playing in the pool.

  Subsequently, the staff of the Municipal Health Supervision Office went to a swimming pool, took out water from the swimming pool and tested it with test paper for residual chlorine. After about 1 minute, the test data showed that the residual chlorine value was 0.1 mg/L. Subsequently, the staff went to another swimming pool and asked the tourists to take out a small bottle of water in the center of the swimming pool for testing. The test results showed that the residual chlorine was 0.2 mg/L.

  The reporter learned that in order to maintain the hygiene of swimming pool water and kill pathogenic microorganisms in the pool water, swimming venues will add a certain dose of chlorine-containing disinfectant while circulating and filtering the pool water, thus producing free residual chlorine. The national standard of residual chlorine concentration in swimming pool water is 0.3-0.5 mg/L. However, in this inspection, the residual chlorine in swimming pool is lower than the national standard. A person in charge of the swimming pool admitted to the staff of the Municipal Health Supervision Office that the swimming pool had just added chlorine-containing disinfectant to the swimming pool for less than an hour.

  Liu Ying introduced that if the concentration of residual chlorine is too low, it will not disinfect the pool water, and the bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms in the pool water may multiply too much, thus causing the spread of diseases; If it is too high, it may stimulate the human eye mucosa, skin mucosa and oral mucosa, especially for sensitive people such as children, women and the elderly. In addition, the high temperature and strong sunlight in summer will decompose residual chlorine, so the consumption of residual chlorine in summer will be particularly large. It will be very dangerous if the residual chlorine is not replenished enough or not.

  In addition to the Binhai Paradise, the Municipal Health Supervision Office also tested the beach theme park of Chaoyang Park, and detected the residual chlorine at several points on the spot, and the residual chlorine data at one point was also slightly lower.

  Excessive sources of urea in swimming pool are perspiration and urination.

  According to the relevant national standards, the urea in swimming pool water should be less than or equal to 3.5 mg/L. However, according to the data of previous years, the problem of urea exceeding the standard in swimming pools is widespread.

  Liu Ying said that when the urea content is too high, ammonia in urea will form chloramines with chlorine-containing disinfectants, which will make swimmers feel disgusted, irritate skin, cornea and corrode scalp.

  Liu Ying said that many swimming pools now adopt overflow circulation filtration, and its principle is to collect the water overflowing from the swimming pool into the water tank, and then pump the water into the sand tank with a circulating pump for filtration and then put it back into the swimming pool. Although impurities such as hair will be filtered out, the bacterial content cannot be reduced, and urea must be replaced with new water to reduce the content. Urea can’t be removed through the filtration and circulation equipment. Every day, people keep swimming, sweating or urinating in it, and urea will get higher and higher, so the swimming pool management needs to replenish fresh water immediately.

  "At present, we are also removing urea by other methods without changing water. It is through urea separation technology that the organic matter is decomposed. However, this technology is also expensive, and only a few swimming venues are in use. " Liu Ying said.

  It is understood that there is urea in the swimming pool, on the one hand, people will keep sweating while swimming, on the other hand, someone will urinate in the swimming pool.

  cause

  In order to save money and disinfect, "cut corners"

  The reporter learned that many swimming pools in Beijing adopt overflow circulation filtration. In order to save money, some swimming pools don’t even open or only open the circulation system at night. However, the water is not changed for a long time, and the circulation system is not turned on. In order to keep the water clear, some swimming pools repeatedly use polyaluminum chloride precipitant to adsorb suspended solids in water. The naked eye looks clear and transparent, but in fact, the water body is rich in aluminum ions, which will do harm to the human body, especially the eyes.

  In addition, some swimming venues also have "cutting corners" in disinfection. According to some insiders, generally speaking, a 1000-cubic-meter swimming pool costs about 10,000 yuan a month for disinfectants, precipitants and other disinfection materials. The quality and price of various disinfectants in the market are uneven. In order to save money, some operators choose cheap disinfectants, and the disinfection effect is difficult to guarantee.

  counter-measure

  Real-time monitoring system can see the water quality at any time.

  In order to cope with the upcoming swimming peak, at present, 100 swimming pools in the city started the activity of "Sweeping the water quality of swimming pools" last month. Citizens can scan this QR code through their mobile phones in obvious places in the swimming pool, and know the residual chlorine, turbidity, pH value and other values of the swimming pool at the first time before swimming. If substandard conditions are found, the public can complain about the problems found through the public health service hotline 12320.

  The reporter learned that the Municipal Health Supervision Office has installed real-time monitoring systems in 100 swimming venues, and most of them are outdoor, crowded, school, community and undertaking some major international and domestic events, which accounts for about 80% of the total number of swimmers.

  At present, the electronic supervision and command center of Beijing swimming venues has been completed, which monitors five main sanitary indicators (water temperature, residual chlorine, PH value, turbidity and ORP) of swimming venues in real time, and updates a set of data in 5 minutes to 7.5 minutes. Once the warning line is touched, the police will be called immediately, and the supervisor will immediately rush to the scene for treatment. In case of hot weather, the health supervision department will strengthen the supervision and inspection of outdoor swimming pools.

  "In order to ensure the water quality, the municipal health supervision department will increase the inspection frequency of swimming pools, especially the problem swimming pools." Liu Ying said that the municipal health supervision office will focus on solving the problems of turbidity and excessive urea content in the pool water that citizens are concerned about, and health supervision institutions at all levels will urge swimming pool operators to strengthen their own management through training and guidance, and at the same time give administrative penalties for illegal acts according to law.

  小贴士

  游泳者如何判断和维护水质?

  1.到现场一般需要先看下水质的现状,浑浊度现行的国标标准是5,真到5的话已经很浑浊了,没法看了。所以用肉眼看基本上很清澈可以见底,那肯定是在国家标准范围内。

  2.站在泳池边闻闻有没有氯气的味道,最好是有淡淡的氯气的味道,不能太浓,也不能闻不到。太浓的话说明余氯超标,会对人体有伤害,闻不到说明余氯太少,达不到消毒效果。

  3.像PH值或者浑浊度可能会在实时监测系统上看看数据,然后再结合现场感官现状做一个初步判定。

  4.因为男士皮屑多,女士化妆品多,到水里后有机物溶解进去通过一般方法不容易去掉,必须通过强氧化剂分解掉。所以建议广大游泳爱好者养成泳前淋浴等习惯。

  国家标准

  水温:22-26

  余氯:0.3mg/l-0.5mg/l

  PH值6.5-8.5

Love: exploring its deep-seated essence from the perspective of psychology

Original title: Love: Exploring its deep-seated essence from a psychological perspective

Love, the most complicated and mysterious phenomenon in human emotions, has always attracted the exploration of countless philosophers, writers and psychologists. So, from a psychological point of view, what is love?

Love is a strong emotional bond, which connects two people and makes them have deep emotional resonance. In love, people are often willing to give everything for each other, and even desperate to pursue each other’s happiness. The source of this emotional power lies in the three basic elements of love: intimacy, enthusiasm and commitment.

Intimacy is the most basic part of love, which refers to the emotional connection and mutual support between two people. In love, intimacy can make both sides feel safe, understood and accepted, thus establishing a deep trust relationship. This intimacy includes not only emotional communication, but also physical contact and interaction.

Enthusiasm is the most obvious manifestation of love, which refers to the strong attraction and desire of both sides for each other. This enthusiasm can be expressed as appreciation and infatuation with each other’s appearance, personality, hobbies and other aspects. In love, enthusiasm can stimulate both sides’ creativity and passion, and make both sides feel that life is full of meaning and value.

Commitment is the most lasting and stable part of love, which refers to the guarantee of each other’s future and relationship. Commitment is not only a verbal expression, but also a manifestation of inner beliefs and actions. In love, commitment can make the two sides firmly walk together and face the challenges and difficulties in life together.

These three elements together constitute the complete form of love. When intimacy, enthusiasm and commitment can be fully satisfied, love can be developed healthily and maintained for a long time.

Love is not always smooth and beautiful. Sometimes, we will encounter emotional frustration and confusion, and even fall into emotional difficulties. From a psychological point of view, these dilemmas often stem from our misunderstanding and excessive expectation of love. Love may be regarded as the whole of life, thus ignoring its own growth and development; Or we may rely too much on each other in love and lose our self and independence. These misunderstandings and excessive expectations will lead to the dilemma and crisis of love.

Need to have a clear understanding and understanding of love. We should realize that love is only a part of life, not the whole thing; Should maintain self and independence, rather than relying too much on each other; You should learn to deal with emotional setbacks and confusion, rather than escape or give up. Only in this way can we get real happiness and satisfaction in love.

Love is a beautiful emotional experience, which can bring us endless happiness and satisfaction. Love also needs our efforts and wisdom to operate and maintain. Only when we truly understand the connotation and essence of love can we truly enjoy the happiness and beauty of love.

Reporting/feedback

Hangzhou implemented a new policy for nightlife, encouraging physical stores to provide services in the middle of the night and early morning.

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about whether there is nightlife in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The entry "Jiangsu is a province that goes to bed early and gets up early" has been linked to a hot search. Zhejiang’s nightlife is not rich, and Hangzhou locals often joke: "The nightlife in Hangzhou is free blowing by the West Lake." The topic is in full swing. At this time, Hangzhou issued a New Deal, proposing to build a "sleepless paradise Tesco Hangzhou". The focus of the policy is to create a night economy ip, and encourage physical stores such as catering, retail, entertainment, culture and bookstores to provide services from 10: 00 pm to 6: 00 am the next day. The program has been implemented for three years since July 25th.

In fact, in the past three years, Hangzhou has always wanted to speed up the progress in developing the night economy. As early as July 2020, Hangzhou proposed to guide the awareness of night consumption, cultivate the night consumption market and build a night consumption platform. Yan ‘an Road featured business, canal culture and Southern Song Dynasty culture were selected as the first batch of "Top Ten Night Landmarks of Night Economic Agglomeration" in Hangzhou. In addition, Hangzhou has also increased its support for the business activities of shopping districts and commercial districts. At present, 97 shopping districts have clearly liberalized their business activities.

This summer, once the policy was released, it quickly attracted "onlookers". Hangzhou, which has been labeled as a "nightlife desert", can this time build a "paradise that never sleeps" with the help of policies?

Night market is not a panacea.

When it comes to nightlife in Hangzhou, apart from the blowing by the West Lake, the most famous ones are Wulin Night Market and Wu Shan Night Market. In the most prosperous business district, tourists from all over the country always visit Hangzhou for more than ten years. This form of night market has also become an important starting point for the development of night economy.

However, "the success of Wulin Night Market and Wu Shan Night Market is hard to replicate." Shishan specializes in market operation. "The attraction of other night markets is slowly declining." The turnover of stall owners is a remarkable sign. Even if the same goods are sold in the same place and at the same time, the sales volume of most stalls is only half that of the past.

"The night market is a consumption of fresh experience." Shi Shan said. With the encouragement and advocacy of relevant policies, night markets have blossomed everywhere, but the forms are exactly the same and the categories are similar, so it is difficult for people to have a desire to buy again. "At the beginning of this year, it was rare to set up stalls selling blind boxes; By May, it was already a’ rotten street’. When I first took it out, a small toy sold for seventy or eighty yuan, and many people were willing to pay the bill; Now the price of similar products has dropped to twenty or thirty yuan, and it still cannot be sold. "

Hangzhou Wu Shan Night Market. Gong Pingping

Night market is not a universal formula for developing night economy. As a service provider, Shishan’s company undertakes the needs of the government or business circle. Before the opening of each night market, they will set aside three days for special evaluation, and thus set the booth fee. "If the residents around the night market are older and their consumption power is not strong enough, then they can only put gadgets with lower unit prices; If there is no subway station in the area, the traffic is not convenient enough to attract long-distance consumers, then it is enough for the event to last for 3 days, and the repurchase situation is generally not ideal. "

Now, the night market in Hangzhou is becoming more and more "rolled". "Event organizers are thinking of various ways to transform." Acrobatic magic, open-air movies and small band performances may all appear in the night market and are expected to become new attractive passwords. "In the past, there was basically only one performance in 10 events; Recently, at least half of the activities have performances. " Shishan feels that the night market has gradually become a part of a large-scale event, not the protagonist.

Enrich night consumption scenes

Since the attraction of night markets is no longer in the past, is it still meaningful for cities to develop night economy and continue to build various night markets?

The reporter heard a very interesting phenomenon-Wenzhou’s night economy scene is richer than Hangzhou’s. Many Wenzhou people go to Hangzhou and have no place to go at night, so they naturally go home early. Back in Wenzhou, the bedtime became late again. Explain that the consumption habits at night will not disappear, but there is no place to spend.

Hangzhou makes great efforts in night economy, clearly shows its attitude, and supports and enriches the supply of night consumption scenes.

Guanhe Night Market opened in Wenchuang Garden of May 7th Commune. Gong Pingping

Wenchuang Garden, located in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, was rebuilt from the old cotton and linen factory and coal factory. It opened in March this year and is a fashionable destination in online celebrity. When the whole Wenchuang Garden was established, it was aimed at night consumption and opened at 4 pm. There are a variety of settled merchants, in addition to all kinds of catering, there are skiing experience, parent-child photography, car display, camping equipment sales and so on. No matter what format, even a design company that works from nine to five, it is clearly required at the beginning of the investment attraction in the park that it should not close before 10 pm, and all the lights must be turned on before that.

In the planning stage, the park will leave the location of the main road, operate a long-term night market, fix stall owners, and put out stalls every day. According to the different areas, the monthly booth fee for cultural and creative categories is 1,200 yuan in 800 yuan, and the monthly booth fee for catering categories is 1,200 yuan to 2,000 yuan. The park implements a relatively systematic assessment system. If the stall owner dresses up as a cartoon character "Bumblebee" or accumulates a lot of fans on social platforms, he will get extra points if he can drain the park. If the sanitation around the booth is not good and the attendance rate cannot be guaranteed, points will be deducted. Specialized administrative personnel often assess, and stall owners with a score below 75 may be persuaded to retreat.

The stall styles of Guanhe Night Market have their own characteristics. Gong Pingping

"If a sanitation is not good, or the lights are dim, the surrounding merchants will be affected. Every booth must create momentum for the atmosphere of the park, so it will be lively." Zhang Fanhua, director of the operation of Wenchuang Park in the May 7th Commune, said, in other words, every stall and merchant has to provide better night consumption services, thus forming a joint force.

At present, it seems that the effect of creating momentum is remarkable. While shopping, Zhang Fanhua casually "showed off" the outstanding performance of the stall owner to reporters. "This lottery booth sells more than 100,000 yuan a month; This hamburger is also online celebrity, selling one or two hundred a day; A bowl of iced tofu pudding can sell for four or five thousand yuan a day. " The park has about 15,000 daily visitors on weekends, and the number of social media-related entries is more than 1.6 million times per week.

After the policy provides convenience,

Some time ago, Zhang Fanhua received a notice that Hangzhou proposed to build a "sleepless paradise and Tesco Hangzhou". The government encouraged and advocated it, trying to provide convenience as much as possible, and how to do it specifically, and all business entities were free to explore.

"Try to provide convenience" is a bit empty at first glance, but it actually requires the joint efforts of merchants, parks and cities. Generally speaking, the cost of labor at night will be much higher than during the day, and the requirements of logistics and supply chain for night business are also higher. At the same time, the park should be equipped with at least 10 night security guards, and the night market cleaning should also increase the number of people, and be on standby in public areas at any time. If it is dirty, it should be cleaned up to ensure the dining environment.

Zhang Fanhua also told reporters the story of a bar. The road at the entrance of Wenchuang Garden is relatively narrow, with two lanes. When the night market is hot, the traffic police need to close the road to maintain order. Generally, large bars are not allowed in this area. When a bar is opened, there will be many employees, and it will be lively until dawn, which will bring great pressure to the road facilities, and the traffic police will have to stay up until 4 am. Considering the night consumption demand and the convenience of business approval, the bar finally opened.

On a larger scale, for a city, many seemingly insignificant "soft services" can also become the most effective catalyst for night economic prosperity. The relevant person in charge of the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce said that in the previous investigation, they found that the short number of bus lines at night, the long interval and the early end of the subway operation all limited the length of stay of consumer groups in the business circle. During the consultation period of the New Deal, some citizens suggested setting up a special traffic lane for shopping malls at night. This suggestion has been adopted, and the newly opened business projects will also be given priority consideration in transportation in the later period.

Some citizens also suggested that nightlife blocks should be far away from residential areas, and many office workers in Hangzhou need to rest at night. The Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce has adopted this proposal, and will evaluate and identify a number of demonstration blocks for economic gathering at night in the future, and standardize management with urban management, fire protection and other management departments.

Hangzhou is taking an important step to encourage the development of night economy, upgrade and create consumption scenes and consumption environment, and transform from "nightlife desert" to "sleepless paradise".

During the day in Wujiang, it is as clean as yesterday.

You have experienced the quiet beauty of the water town and the leisure of the ancient town.

It doesn’t matter if you come late,

because

The nightlife in the ancient town is also worth a visit!

The cordate telosma in the old street

The night scene in Tongli is very good. The small bridges along the coast are decorated with faint lights. The moonlight under the quiet ancient town illuminates every shop in the old street, and the fragrance of food wafts over the whole old street.

In the old street, you can satisfy your food addiction, and all kinds of cakes and crispy snacks can be seen everywhere, spreading all the way. It can be said that you have been eating from the street to the alley, and it is almost the same. As night falls, listen to the night play and taste the delicious food in the deep alley, which is full of pleasant elegance.

Bars are more suitable for music.

The Muwanshang Leisure Street in Tongli Ancient Town, with its coffee shops, teahouses, bookstores and bars, has become the best place for travelers to meet. Quiet night, literary coffee shop, meet fresh you. The wooden lattice doors and windows are reminiscent of the past, and the rich coffee fragrance makes the memories warm gradually.

In the old street with a history of hundreds of years, the decoration of the bar is beautiful and romantic, classical and fashionable. The ancient wooden doors and the wooden tables and chairs with a sense of vicissitudes are very set off with this beautiful and ancient Jiangnan town, and the dense aroma on the slate road makes people intoxicated.

Enjoy the comfort brought by music and lights in the ancient town. When the colorful neon lights are turned on, the quiet music comes slowly, making you forget the troubles of life. About three or five friends enjoy the ancient town customs and enjoy their lives.

The unique style in the hotel

A clean and tidy room with an ancient rack bed is not as magnificent as a star hotel, and everything is simple. The doors and windows are hollowed out and carved, and the tables and chairs in the room reveal a classical atmosphere. There are quaint tea sets on the tables, pushing open a door, just like walking into the history of the last century, which makes people feel cool and unrestrained.

Lying in the attic at night to have a look at the night view of the ancient town, it feels very good, too, with residential buildings by the water, long streets along the shore, small bridges and flowing water, and weeping willows by the river; Shiban Road, Xiaohexi, Wupeng Boat, Stone Arch Bridge … The town is beautiful.

Whether you are tasting delicious food at night,

Or wandering in bars and old streets where music is blooming,

Or choose a favorite homestay for a night.

Lying flat and being watched a movie! The "Bed Cinema" on the Central Street became the punching point in online celebrity.

There are no seats in the cinema, only a double bed. Lying flat and watching movies has recently become a trend. If you are sleepy, just sleep! In 2023, a "bed cinema" in Harbin quickly became a punching place in online celebrity, but it was not a couple-themed cinema. The owner of the cinema said that their target customers are family audiences, and they hope that young people can take their parents out of their homes and "enjoy the new movie-watching service together". They are planning to launch a free nostalgic special for the elderly audience, and also set up a "Party Building Hall" to mainly show the main theme films.
Central Avenue will invest 10 million yuan in new construction.
Modern Times Cinema on the Central Street is an "anti-routine" cinema. There are 20 double beds in the "bed hall". No matter how many tickets are sold, there are two people in each bed, and the audience is covered with blankets to watch movies. This kind of bed viewing is comfortable but not ambiguous. On the contrary, when the lights are on, the cinema is as bright as a amphitheatre. The person in charge said with a smile that the design concept "seems bold and rebellious, but in fact it is upright."
Wanda, Jin ‘an, Dashang, China Film Center … The Central Street is the most competitive business district of Harbin Cinema. This pedestrian street is surrounded by four or five modern studios. If you want to share a piece of this "war zone", it is undoubtedly the "hell mode". Cinema in China has experienced a low ebb in the past three years. Most viewers are used to watching online movies at home, and their viewing mentality has changed greatly. At the beginning of 2023, the film market recovered, and the national ticket prices generally rose. In order to attract the audience to return, several major studios in Harbin not only did not increase the ticket prices, but also upgraded their services, introduced massage chairs, engaged in membership activities, and gave small gifts on holidays. At this moment, Modern Times Cinema smashed 10 million yuan on Central Street and began to decorate. Mr. Cui, the manager of the cinema, told Harbin Daily reporter, "In the past three years, many people used to lie at home and watch projectors. Now’ watching movies’ has become the most basic function of cinemas, and cinemas that can play, enjoy and have distinctive personalities are the future trend. We focus on a comfortable and casual one here, sitting, lying down and watching. If you are sleepy, just sleep. "
Eat snacks and watch movies in bed.
The reporter’s first impression when entering Modern Times Studios is that this is a "paradise for social fears". There is no ticket inspector at the gate, and the audience doesn’t even have to pick up the tickets. The booking code in the mobile phone can be scanned at the entrance machine to enter the cinema, and the code can be scanned in and out at any time before the movie is over. The theme and decoration of each cinema are different. Spaceships are painted on the walls of the children’s hall, with colorful seats and animated films being shown. The couple’s hall is a double electric recliner, and the angle can be adjusted at will; The party building hall with the red theme is retro and solemn … The person in charge told the reporter that the cost of each electric recliner in the cinema is more than 5,000 yuan, and the price of a mattress with a double bed is higher. "It is to be more comfortable than lying at home. When you are engaged in activities, you can also send popcorn and coke, and you can watch and eat snacks on the bed."
What the studio owner didn’t expect was that he spent a lot of money to introduce three-color laser projection technology, and spent a lot of money on Feida audio and full-arc metal screen, trying to create top-level audio-visual effects, but what customers praised the most after opening turned out to be "the lobby game machine is good". The studio spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on large-scale video games, doll machines and massage chairs, decorated the lobby into a leisure and entertainment area, and put up props such as "I miss you very much in Harbin". Just after its opening, it caught up with the big explosion of the Dragon Boat Festival. On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, the central street was crowded with people. Modern Times Cinema simply showed it all night, and the venue was full. The doll machines in the hall were all caught empty. "Many people stayed here all night, catching dolls, playing games and watching a movie, and then went straight to the riverside for an outing at dawn," said Manager Cui.
(Summer box office explosion)
Open for one month and become a punching point in online celebrity.
Only 40 tickets can be sold for 20 double beds, and the fare is exactly the same as that of ordinary cinemas. The minimum membership price is 19.9 yuan for one person to watch a movie … The person in charge of the cinema admits that it is not a wise choice to put a double bed in the cinema from the perspective of investment. At present, the expensive "bed hall" has less income than ordinary cinemas, "but it represents a trend of future cinemas, more humanized service, and the distance between beds is very wide. Nowadays, the audience watching movies is mostly young people. We hope to attract middle-aged and elderly people who are used to’ squatting’ at home with a more comfortable environment, more services and better audio-visual experience. "
As soon as the movie market recovered, it invested 10 million yuan in high-rent lots. At the beginning, many people advised the owners of Modern Times Studios not to take too many risks, but in 2023, the strong performance of Harbin box office hit these people in the face. Harbin’s summer file exploded with 132 million yuan, and the National Day file was three times that of last year. The movie market in Ice City was all the way red and triumphant!
The person in charge of the studio said that they got the first place in the group purchase list of Tik Tok Studios in the same city within one month of opening, which attracted many netizens to punch in. Now "lying and watching" is a very popular way to watch movies in the south, and the central street is the trend vane of Harbin. "Visitors can not only see the century-old buildings, but also the most fashionable and advanced cultural and entertainment facilities in this street. I believe it will get better and better in the future. We have confidence in Central Street and Harbin! "

The actual controller of the company is Mr. Wang Jianlin. Before the change, WANDA CINEMAS’s shareholding control relationship is as follows:

In addition, China Ruyi Film and Television, which is controlled by Ruyi through an agreement, holds 49% of Wanda Investment, and Mr. Ke Liming also holds 16.34% of the total share capital of China Ruyi.
After the change, the shareholding control relationship of WANDA CINEMAS is as follows:

After this transaction,Mr. Wang Jianlin indirectly controls 10.9% equity of WANDA CINEMAS through Wanda Culture Group, Shenxian Rongzhi Xingye Management Consulting Center (Limited Partnership) and Ms. Lin Ning.

According to the announcement, Mr. Ke Liming, male, born in April 1983, is of China nationality and has no permanent residency abroad, with a postgraduate degree. He is currently the executive director and chairman of China Ruyi and the CEO of Pumpkin Films Limited. As an investor and producer, Mr. Ke Liming once led and invested in films such as Keep You Safe, Exchange Life, Moon Man, Hello Li Huanying, A Little Red Flower, Animal World, Sewing Machine Band, never gone, To Our Dying Youth, The Old Boy Raptors Across the River, Old Chinese Medicine Doctor, Old Pub, Frontier of Love and No War in Peiping.

Since the beginning of this year, Wang Jianlin, the founder of Wanda Group, has frequently "sold" its equity and reduced its assets. On July 10th, Wanda Investment signed a share transfer agreement with Lu Lili, intending to transfer its 180 million shares of WANDA CINEMAS to Lu Lili, with a total transfer price of about 2.173 billion yuan. Lu Lili’s most well-known identity is the "proprietress" of Oriental wealth. Then, on July 18th, Wanda Investment again plans to transfer its 177 million shares of WANDA CINEMAS unrestricted shares to Shenxian Rongzhi Xingye Management Consulting Center (Limited Partnership) at a transfer price of 1.317 yuan/share, with a total transfer price of about 2.336 billion yuan.

Wang Jianlin once made no secret of his ambition for the cultural industry. Many years ago, when faced with the news that Disneyland had settled in Shanghai, he boldly declared that it would be difficult for Disney to make a profit in the next 20 years. He clearly realized that China’s real estate industry has developed for more than 20 years, and in another 15-20 years, this industry may gradually shrink. In order to ensure the sustainable development of Wanda, he understands that the company must turn to diversified fields such as culture and tourism.

In order to realize this transformation, Wanda carried out a major overseas merger and acquisition as early as 2012, and acquired AMC Entertainment Holding Company, the second largest cinema in the United States, which was the first overseas merger and acquisition in China film history. Since then, Wanda Cinema has successively launched a fixed-income plan since July 2015, and plans to acquire 100% equity of Hoyts, the second largest cinema in Australia, and 100% equity of Muwei Fashion and Chongqing Shimao Cinema Management Company, a domestic film data company.

Wanda also owns its own listed company, wanda cinema line, which is in the leading position in the domestic industry and is regarded as an important quality asset of Wanda Culture Group by the outside world. However, affected by the epidemic situation in recent years and other factors, WANDA CINEMAS has also experienced some difficulties. According to the financial report data, in 2019 and 2020, the company lost 4.729 billion yuan and 6.669 billion yuan respectively. Although it achieved a slight profit in 2021, it fell into a loss again in 2022, with a net profit loss of 1.923 billion yuan.

Today, Wang Jianlin bid farewell to the original film and television dream.

"Before the epidemic, Wang Jianlin expressed his dissatisfaction with WANDA CINEMAS at the year-end summary meeting for two consecutive years. After the annual party, he will come to our floor, which impressed me deeply. He said in a bad tone that the cinema earned less and the company didn’t keep idle people. The film industry as a whole is only tens of billions a year, which can’t help the big group. " The employee recalled Wang Jianlin’s deep impression on the film and television business.

WANDA CINEMAS’s third quarterly report data shows that in the first three quarters of this year, WANDA CINEMAS’s operating income was about 11.347 billion yuan, an increase of 46.98% year-on-year;The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies is about 1.114 billion yuan.The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies after deducting non-recurring gains and losses is about 1.103 billion yuan; The net cash flow from operating activities was about 3.796 billion yuan, up 127.69% year-on-year.From January to September 2023, the company’s domestic cinemas achieved a box office of 6.22 billion yuan (excluding service fees)., an increase of 67.6% year-on-year, an increase of 5.2% over the same period in 2019; The number of people watching movies was 150 million, a year-on-year increase of 68.7% and an increase of 3.7% over the same period in 2019.

By September 30th, 2023, the company had 877 cinemas and 7,338 screens in China, including 709 directly operated cinemas and 6,159 screens, and 168 light assets cinemas and 1,179 screens. In the first three quarters, the company’s cumulative market share was 16.5%.

According to public information, Shanghai Ruyi was established in 2013, mainly engaged in the production and operation of radio and television programs and film distribution business. It is a controlled structural entity with 100% actual rights and interests in China Ruyi.The company has produced Hi, Mom’s To Youth, nirvana in fire, legend of miyue, Sewing Machine Band, A Little Red Flower and many other explosive TV dramas.Previously, among the four cornerstone investors introduced by Lehua Entertainment IPO, Sun Mass Energy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Confucianism and Italy, subscribed for $7.9 million in offering shares.

It is worth mentioning that the largest shareholder of China Confucianism is Tencent. Including the introduction of China Confucianism, Wanda recovered 6.766 billion yuan in July through three equity transfers and the disposal of WANDA CINEMAS and Wanda’s investment equity.

  人类创造的各种文明,都是人类的劳动成果与智慧结晶。中国是一个文明古国,中华民族在历史发展进程中创造了辉煌灿烂的文明,为人类文明进步作出了重大贡献。中国也是文明交流互鉴的积极推动者、实践者,一直以海纳百川、兼收并蓄的态度对待不同文明。党的十八大以来,习近平同志从推动人类文明进步和世界和平发展、推动构建人类命运共同体的高度,对推动文明交流互鉴作出一系列重要论述,提出一系列新理念、新思想、新论断。学深悟透习近平同志关于文明交流互鉴的重要论述,对于深入把握人类文明发展规律、推动文明交流互鉴、推动构建人类命运共同体,具有重大理论与现实意义。

  文明的多样性决定了文明交流互鉴的必然性

  文明多元并存是人类生活的自然图景。习近平同志指出,“文明具有多样性,就如同自然界物种的多样性一样,一同构成我们这个星球的生命本源。”人类文明发展史之所以波澜壮阔、激荡人心,一个重要原因就在于文明的多彩多姿。在经济全球化深入发展的时代背景下,文明的多彩多姿、多元并存并不会因为各个国家和民族之间联系的加强而消解,文明的多样性客观上要求不同文明交流互鉴。

  文明的多样性是人类文明发展的客观规律。习近平同志指出:“一个国家和民族的文明是一个国家和民族的集体记忆。”这深刻揭示了文明多样性的深层原因。文明起源就不是单一的,在文明发展进程中各个国家和民族生产方式、生活条件、思维方法、行为习惯等的不同,更使文明表现出鲜明的区域性、民族性。今天,世界上有200多个国家和地区、2500多个民族,每个国家和民族文明的孕育和发展都与其自然地理、基本国情、生产生活方式等密切相关,各种文明都在长期的历史积淀中形成自己的深厚底蕴。人们常说,“十里不同风,百里不同俗。”对于整个人类社会来说,在漫长的历史长河中必然会发展出多彩多姿的文明。文明的多样性是当今世界的客观现实。就拿亚洲来说,正如习近平同志指出的,“今天的亚洲,多样性的特点仍十分突出,不同文明、不同民族、不同宗教汇聚交融,共同组成多彩多姿的亚洲大家庭。”在亚洲,各具特色的语言文字、文学艺术、宗教习俗不胜枚举,不同文明都熠熠生辉,共同书写着华丽的亚洲文明篇章。放眼全球,文明更是多彩多姿。

  文明的多样性为文明交流互鉴提供了广阔空间,文明交流互鉴又为人类文明的创造性发展注入了不竭动力。习近平同志指出:“文明因交流而多彩,文明因互鉴而丰富。文明交流互鉴,是推动人类文明进步和世界和平发展的重要动力。”“人类历史就是一幅不同文明相互交流、互鉴、融合的宏伟画卷。”纵观人类历史,任何有重大影响力的文明,其发展的历史轨迹必定是兼收并蓄的过程。希腊雅典的帕特农神庙令人叹为观止,而古希腊的神庙建筑离不开古巴比伦、古埃及等古老文明的深刻启迪。自8世纪开始,融合古代希腊、罗马、波斯和印度文化的“百年翻译运动”,开创了有“东西文明之窗”美誉的阿拉伯地区“五百年文化黄金时代”,也为西欧的文艺复兴提供了珍贵的火种。中华文明之所以延绵不绝,为人类文明进步作出重大贡献,同中华文明注重与其他文明交流、互鉴、融合密切相关。公元前100多年,中国就开始开辟通往西域的丝绸之路。汉代张骞于公元前138年、119年两次出使西域,向西域传播了中华文化,也引进了葡萄、苜蓿、石榴、胡麻、芝麻等。从承载佛教文化艺术的白马寺在东汉洛阳落成,到唐代法门寺遗址出土的东罗马与伊斯兰玻璃器,文明交流互鉴促进形成“汉唐气象”。明清以后的“东学西渐”和“西学东渐”,既给予西方文明自我反思的养料,也对中华文明重新焕发生机起到了倒逼和催化作用。人类发展史充分证明,不同文明间的交流互鉴是文明发展的强大动力。面向未来,只有推动文明交流互鉴,人类文明才能进步,世界才能和平发展。

  推动文明交流互鉴需要秉持正确的态度和原则

  推动文明交流互鉴,以文明交流超越文明隔阂、文明互鉴超越文明冲突、文明共存超越文明优越,必须秉持正确的态度和原则。推动文明交流互鉴应当秉持什么样的态度和原则?习近平同志深刻指出:“文明是多彩的,人类文明因多样才有交流互鉴的价值。”“文明是平等的,人类文明因平等才有交流互鉴的前提。”“文明是包容的,人类文明因包容才有交流互鉴的动力。”这些重要论述是对人类文明交流互鉴历史经验的科学总结,深刻阐明了推动文明交流互鉴需要秉持的正确态度和原则,深刻揭示了文明交流互鉴的内在规律。

  “五色交辉,相得益彰;八音合奏,终和且平。”人类文明进步绝不在于某一种文明的一家独大,而在于不同文明百花争妍。人类文明多彩多姿、多元并存,各种文明都是平等的,都是人类在生存发展中创造的,并无优劣之分,这是文明交流互鉴的前提。习近平同志指出:“不同民族、不同文明多姿多彩、各有千秋,没有优劣之分,只有特色之别。”人类文明发展史表明,每种文明都有其独特魅力和深厚底蕴,都是人类的精神瑰宝,一切文明成果都值得尊重,一切文明成果都要珍惜。事实上,只要秉持包容精神,就不存在什么“文明冲突”,就可以实现文明和谐。只有深刻认识文明是多彩的、平等的、包容的,才能不断推动文明交流互鉴,实现不同文明相互尊重、彼此借鉴、求同存异、和谐共生,使人类文明更加姹紫嫣红、欣欣向荣。

  推动文明交流互鉴,还要从本国本民族实际出发,树立文化自觉,坚定文化自信。习近平同志强调:“进行文明相互学习借鉴,要坚持从本国本民族实际出发,坚持取长补短、择善而从,讲求兼收并蓄,但兼收并蓄不是囫囵吞枣、莫衷一是,而是要去粗取精、去伪存真。”文明交流互鉴是不同文明之间的对话,不从本国本民族实际出发,没有文化自觉和文化自信,就不可能深刻认识自身文明的优势、坦诚面对自身文明的不足,或者盲目自大,或者妄自菲薄,这两种倾向都不利于本国本民族文明的发展。只有树立文化自觉、坚定文化自信,在交流互鉴中博采众长、推陈出新,才能推动本国本民族文明发展,进而促进整个人类文明更加多彩多姿。

  在推动文明交流互鉴中构建人类命运共同体

  习近平同志关于推动文明交流互鉴的重要论述,是同推动构建人类命运共同体紧密联系在一起的。今天,人类生活在不同文化、种族、肤色、宗教和不同社会制度所组成的世界里,各国人民形成了你中有我、我中有你的命运共同体。同时,人类社会发展也面临诸多挑战,世界并不安宁。推动构建人类命运共同体,必须坚持不同文明兼收并蓄、交流互鉴。习近平同志强调:“我们应该推动不同文明相互尊重、和谐共处,让文明交流互鉴成为增进各国人民友谊的桥梁、推动人类社会进步的动力、维护世界和平的纽带。我们应该从不同文明中寻求智慧、汲取营养,为人们提供精神支撑和心灵慰藉,携手解决人类共同面临的各种挑战。”人类社会发展到今天,我们要从推动构建人类命运共同体的高度看待文明交流互鉴。

  推动构建人类命运共同体,既要密切政治经济联系,也要通过文明交流互鉴形成“万物并育而不相害,道并行而不相悖”的文明共同体。当今世界,发展鸿沟日益突出,冷战思维和强权政治依然盛行,一些国家和民族之间甚至兵戎相见,治理赤字、信任赤字、和平赤字、发展赤字严峻地摆在全人类面前。导致治理赤字、信任赤字、和平赤字、发展赤字的一个重要原因,就是不同文明之间存在偏见与隔阂。这种偏见与隔阂助长了冷战思维和强权政治,助长了唯我独尊、弱肉强食的“丛林法则”,助长了逆全球化思潮和保护主义。因此,推动构建人类命运共同体,既需要经贸联通,也需要文化融通,进而实现人心相通。习近平同志强调,“让人类创造的各种文明交相辉映,编织出斑斓绚丽的图画,共同消除现实生活中的文化壁垒,共同抵制妨碍人类心灵互动的观念纰缪,共同打破阻碍人类交往的精神隔阂”。我们要通过推动文明交流互鉴,增强各个国家和民族相互理解、彼此合作的情感和意志,为构建人类命运共同体提供经久不息的精神力量。

  推动文明交流互鉴,关乎文明之间的和平和谐,关乎全人类的前途命运。让不同文明在和而不同中生生不息,实现“各美其美,美人之美,美美与共,天下大同”,推动构建人类命运共同体,这一时代潮流呼唤着各种人类文明在交流互鉴中同放异彩、和谐共生、相得益彰,共同为构建人类命运共同体提供精神力量,共同书写人类文明发展的新华章。
