The Discovery and Identification of the Northern Song Dynasty’s Version of Shi’s Six Sticks and Hangzhou West Lake Zhaoqing Temple Jielian Society Collection

Today, there are about 3,000 surviving Song editions, except Buddhist scriptures, there are less than 20 in the Northern Song Dynasty, and its value is self-evident. Because of the scarcity, there was a lack of research on the engraving of the Northern Song Dynasty in the past, or the Southern Song Dynasty was regarded as the Northern Song Dynasty, and some people regarded the Northern Song Dynasty as the Southern Song Dynasty. It is not difficult for us to correct the former mistake now. For example, Du Xunhe’s Collected Works, a Southern Song Dynasty Shu edition, and Selected Poems of Wang Jinggong and Tang Hundred Schools, which were collected in the above picture, were all classified as Northern Song editions in the old days, but later changed to Southern Song editions with the improvement of people’s understanding. It is more difficult to correct the mistake of regarding the Northern Song Dynasty as the Southern Song Dynasty. This is not only the difficulty of identification, but also because people learned from the past and were skeptical or even contradictory from the beginning. For example, the Long and Short Classics in Weng’s collection has always been regarded as the Southern Song Dynasty edition, especially after being appraised by the officials of Siku Library, later generations habitually searched for the evidence printed in the Southern Song Dynasty along their thinking, but ignored many obvious features printed in the Northern Song Dynasty. Therefore, I said that the above picture is worth spending 4.5 million US dollars to buy a "Long Short Classic", and many other rare books are "given away" by Mr. Weng Wange. From this point of view, we should regard the identification and research of the Northern Song Dynasty edition as one of the important tasks of the development of edition science today, and it is not an exaggeration to call it filling the gap of predecessors.

Du Xunhe’s Collected Works, a South Song Shu Engraving Edition, Collected in Shanghai Library.

I’m here to introduce two books of the Northern Song Dynasty, one of which is Shi’s Six Posts, which is hidden in Tofuku-ji Temple, Kyoto. The other is "The Lotus Collection of Zhaoqing Temple in West Lake, Hangzhou", which was auctioned by Beijing Zhuode Auction Company in autumn in 2015 and finally received by the owner of Shanghai Fengjiang Bookstore.

Six Chapters of Shi’s is a Buddhist book imitating the style of Six Chapters of Bai’s, and its editor is Yi Chu, a high-ranking monk in Kaiyuan Temple of Qizhou in the later Zhou Dynasty. There are twelve volumes in the book. In 2001, this book was photocopied and published by Linchuan Bookstore, Japan, as one of the Series of Zen Classics compiled by two Japanese scholars, Saiyama Yanata and Hiroshi shiina, with the title "Six Chapters of Yi Chu", which was designated as a block-printed edition in the Southern Song Dynasty. In 2008, Chen Jie, now a professor at the University of Tokyo in Japan, came to the picture to read a book. I happened to see that she was carrying some copies of this book, and the engraving font was long and narrow European characters. I immediately said to her, "This is probably the Northern Song Dynasty edition, and its font is very similar to many European Northern Song Dynasty editions, including Long and Short Classics. If you have the opportunity to go to Japan, you must read the original book." In the winter of 2009, I got the opportunity to visit Japan for three months, thinking that I could see books there, but it was not. Because this book has always been hidden, few Japanese experts and scholars have read it. It is said that even Mr. shiina Hongxiong, who wrote the publication instructions of the photocopy, only saw the film. Therefore, after I arrived in Japan, I could only "have an eye addiction" with photocopies. Unexpectedly, I looked through it and found something.

This book is divided into volumes by strategy (that is, volume). The first three volumes are slightly rough in engraving, and the shape is uncertain. The number of volumes or the title "Volume" engraved in the center of the edition, or the title "Strategy", or in Yin or Yang, with fish tail and black mouth; From the fourth volume to the twelfth volume, the core of the edition is only a few questions, no fish tail, basically white mouth, and the shape is unified. At the end of the volume, in the second year of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty (1103), a monk in Kaiyuan Temple in Yuezhou carved a book with an inscription and postscript. This book was first proofread and engraved with four strategies, but it was not completed because of lack of funds, and it was only through various ways that it was able to continue to engrave. Although it is slightly different from the engraving, it is generally consistent (later, volumes 5 to 12 were engraved and published according to the layout of volume 4); Besides, the words Xuan, Lang, Jing, Hong, Yin, Kuang, Zhen, etc. are not strictly taboo, but they are all taboo in the temples of the Southern Song Dynasty, so the postscript of Lu Tan was not later reprinted, so it should be no problem to make this book a biennial publication of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty. However, this is not the first printed edition of Chongning. Depending on whether the book edition has been altered, rambled, revised or engraved, it is likely that the printing will be as late as the Southern Song Dynasty.

Photocopy of Shi’s Six Sticks (the title was changed to "Six Sticks of Yi and Chu")

In the past, Japanese academic circles have always called this book Six Chapters of Yi Chu, not because of the common name of the author, but because the book is clearly titled "Six Chapters of Yi Chu" at the beginning and end of the volume. However, after careful examination, I found that the word "Yi Chu" in each volume has been gouged out, not only leaving traces of gouging out, but also the word "Yi Chu" is a Liu Ti word, which is quite different from the word "Liu Tie" and the European word in the text. At the beginning of this book is Yi Chu’s Six Postscripts of Shi, and at the end is Yi Chu’s Preface to Six Postscripts of Shi, Hu Zheng’s Preface to Six Postscripts of Shi, and Lu Zhong’s Preface to Reopen Six Postscripts of Shi, so the word "be gouged out" should be "Shi", and the original title is actually "Six Postscripts of Shi".

In addition, Japanese scholars did not seem to pay attention to the repair of this book before. Judging from the photocopies, at least one feature is very obvious, that is, all the repaired editions are mostly Liu Ti characters, which are similar to the font of "Yi Chu" which was gouged out at the end of the volume. Related to this, most of the pages of this book have no engraved names, and some of them have only single words, and Zhu Jian is the only one with full names. Although they have not been found in other editions, it is difficult to check them, but they also have a feature, that is, all the engraved leaves are later supplemented. Therefore, even if Zhu Jian and other engravers can find out, they can only confirm the age of the repaired version, not the original engraving age. From the font, they are probably engravers in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhu Jian, the engraver on the photocopy of Shi’s Six Posts

With the help of Chen Jie and Mr. Naipujin of Kyoto University, I was lucky enough to visit Tofuku-ji Temple twice on December 19th, 2009 and March 4th, 2013. For the first time, I was only allowed to read for two hours, that is, from 9: 30 to 11: 30 in the morning, and I only read four volumes, that is, one third of the whole book. But before I left, I told the other party with certainty that this book should have been published in the Northern Song Dynasty. After listening to it, the other party’s eyes lit up and promised to let me read the whole book in the future. Soon, the famous Japanese version scientist Yasuo Ozaki heard Chen Jie say that I decided that the book was a book of the Northern Song Dynasty, and thought that I was overrated. So four years later, I invited Mr. Ozaki to go with me and read it all day. If the first reading of the original is only a rough proof of the previous reading of the photocopy, then after nearly four years, we will have a new understanding. The repaired version of this book has different faces, even if there are engravers, there are similarities and differences. For example, the heart of the sixty-first leaf of Volume 6 has the word "benevolence", and its frame is obviously smaller than the original one, and it is unilateral all around, which is different from that of the original one. However, the frame of the leaf engraved with Zhu Jian is the same as the original one. There are also advantages and disadvantages in the writing and engraving of the patch, such as the eighth and eleventh leaves of volume five, which may be ignored if not carefully identified; The inferior is like the twenty-first leaf of Volume 9. If you don’t know the background of this book, it seems that there is no doubt that it is a supplement to the Ming Dynasty based on experience. These phenomena not only infer that this edition may be mended more than once, but also remind me whether there will be any identification problems in some surviving Song Dynasty engraved Yuan editions or Song Dynasty engraved Yuan Ming handed-over editions, because some repaired editions,There is no clear evidence like the three dynasties edition of imperial academy in Nanjing in Ming Dynasty, but the predecessors made a judgment that the edition was revised in Yuan Dynasty or revised in Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty because of its different fonts and the repaired edition was often worse than the original one. Is this judgment based on limited experience correct? In other words, should these books be re-appraised? Because this book, together with a batch of other Chinese books collected by Tofuku-ji Temple, was brought to Japan from China by the Japanese monk Bian Yuan in the first year of Chunyou in the Southern Song Dynasty (1241) and was hidden in Fumonin, Tofuku-ji Temple, and its revised edition was even worse before Chunyou’s first year.

Next, I will talk about another Northern Song Dynasty edition, Lotus Society Collection of Zhaoqing Temple in West Lake, Hangzhou. Before 2009, I haven’t seen the Song engraving of the authentic Yan book "Magu Xiantan Ji" and the Liu book "Mysterious Pagoda". Since I visited Japan in November, 2009, I have successively seen the Song version of the exquisite small-print edition "Four-part law to delete complex and fill gaps and act as banknotes" (Shaoxing three-year Zhejiang Siming engraving) and the large-print edition "King Kong Prajna Paramita Sutra" (the date and place of engraving are unknown). I didn’t know that what I saw before included the Northern Song Dynasty’s "Opening the Treasure" and the Southern Song Dynasty’s large-print edition "A Collection of Spring and Autumn Classics" At the same time, I also learned that in the Song Dynasty, Zhejiang carved books, not all European characters were used. Therefore, at the end of 2014, when Xiling auction house collected the Zhejiang edition of The Lotus Sutra, I thought it was entirely possible to engrave the magazine in the late Northern Song Dynasty, based on its exquisite font and other relevant basis.

Before that, as early as 2000, when the Shanghai Library purchased Weng’s collection, I had noticed that there were differences between the European-style version of the Northern Song Dynasty and the European-style version of the Southern Song Dynasty because of studying the engraving of the Long and Short Classics. In Japan, I have read the Classic of Filial Piety and General Canon collected by the Imperial Palace’s Shuling Department, the Collection of Historical Records collected by Osaka Xingyu Bookstore, the Six Postscripts of Shi’s in Tofuku-ji Temple, Kyoto, the Lunlue of the Ritual Department collected by Nagoya Zhenfu Temple, and the Family Name Interpretation collected by the Library of Congress, and learned that the European characters in the Northern Song Dynasty are mostly narrow and long. In that case, the so-called "square font" of Zhejiang block-printed edition by the previous edition scholars can only be said to conform to the general appearance of Zhejiang block-printed edition in the Southern Song Dynasty, but not in the Northern Song Dynasty.

After realizing that the European style and Yan style engravings in the Northern Song Dynasty and some early Southern Song Dynasty are different from the common Southern Song Dynasty engravings, there is an intuition that there should also be authentic Liu Ti characters in the Northern Song Dynasty in history. And this book "Hangzhou West Lake Zhaoqing Temple Jielian Society Collection", which was compiled and engraved by people from Zhaoqing Temple Province, and the preface to the book "Qian Tang West Lake Zhaoqing Temple Jiejing Society Collection" written by Dr. Tai Chang in the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1009) is the authentic font of Liu Gongquan’s book "Mysterious Pagoda", and the rest of the contents, preface, inscription and text are "Magu Xiantan Ji". Compared with Qian Yi’s preface font, the common Liu Ti characters popular in Fujian woodcut in the Southern Song Dynasty are quite different.

Book shadow of the preface to the collection of Jiejing Society of Zhaoqing Temple in West Lake of Qian Tang Dynasty  

Judging from the text, the poems of 90 people who entered the Lotus Society of Zhaoqing Temple in West Lake in this book were all written between the first year of Chunhua in the Northern Song Dynasty (990) and the third year of Jingdezhen (1006). Su Yijian’s preface was written in the second year of Chunhua (991), Song Baizhi’s association inscription was written in the first year of Chunhua, Ding Wei Song dynasty’s preface was written in the third year of Jingdezhen, and Qian Yi’s general preface was finally completed. Therefore, the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu is not only the last year of compilation, but also the time when the book was engraved. Because Qian Yi’s preface was written in November of that year, the engraving may not be completed in the same year, but it will not be far apart. If we analyze the similarities and differences between Yan and Liu fonts, especially the fact that Qian Yi’s preface is engraved with Liu characters, there is another possibility that it may be more in line with the actual face of engraving, that is, before Qian Yi’s preface was written, the book was not only compiled, but also the engraving was completed when Qian Yi sent the preface, so Qian Yi’s preface was later engraved. This can also be seen from the fact that there is no money order in the book catalogue. If the whole book including money order is printed and engraved at the same time, it seems that there is no need to change the font, because these prefaces are not written by the author. Therefore, the appearance of Qian’s preface in the form of a willow character has a certain contingency, and this contingency is the proof of the subsequent engraving of the preface. From this, I even think that even without Qian’s preface, the book has been established, so it is likely that it was printed first. It is unknown whether there was a printed version of Qian’s preface in the world, because this phenomenon is not uncommon in the circulation of carved and printed ancient books, but it has been submerged for a long time. As far as my current experience is concerned, this kind of authentic Yan and Liu fonts are presented in the Song version of a book at the same time, which has never been seen in the South Song Dynasty.There is no basis for publishing and engraving in the Southern Song Dynasty or later.

Of course, it is not convincing enough to judge this book as a copy of the Northern Song Dynasty only based on its date of publication and font change characteristics, because people’s acceptance of the fonts of the Song Dynasty still stays on the traditional understanding of typology. Therefore, whether we can find other equally "hard" evidence to prove that it is indeed the Northern Song Dynasty edition is the most concerned person. Although the book has not been found to be circulated in a single line, the relevant literature is also very scarce. However, after a close inspection, I found that the original book is easily ignored by people, which is also a strong evidence that the book was published at the latest in the period of Dazhong Xiangfu: the preface of the book and the publication of most poems and characters, whenever it meets Buddha, Fa Xi, Baodi, Provincial Chang, Zhaoqing Temple, Bailianshe, Huayan Hangpin, imperial court, kings and four related poems. Some seem to have not looked up in form, but for the words that need to be respected, the number of words per line has been specially adjusted to make it at the head of the line, so that the paid-in words can look up. For example, in Qian Yizhi’s preface, there are generally 16 words per line, but the sentence "The former prime minister, You Cheng, Hanoi, is coquettish to the public, and one after another is hundreds, with the emphasis on national assistance and the hope of resignation", in order to make the word "national assistance" look up, the previous line is engraved with 17 words. Therefore, those who have different lines and words in this book do what they want to do for the sake of looking up. However, there are also more than a dozen poems that don’t look up when they meet the above respects.

Jumping and Looking Up in Collection of Lotus Society of Zhaoqing Temple in West Lake, Hangzhou

With regard to three situations in the same book, namely, blank spaces and jumping lines, changing lines and not looking up, my understanding is that the province often publishes this episode without seeking uniformity in layout and lines, but deliberately makes formal arrangement adjustments to the text. In other words, he printed it directly according to the preface and the original appearance of the poems about joining the club. Moreover, it is not uniform to raise the head of the word Jing, or to raise the head of this word without other words, or to raise the head of other words without this word, which is also a reflection of the fact that the manuscript has not been adjusted and unified. As for the case of changing the line type to achieve the purpose of looking up, it is not often done intentionally, but according to the original line type, that is, the original seems to look up without line breaks, but actually looks up. In order to cater to the original writing form, it has to be changed. It is very clever and reasonable for the provincial governor to do so, which not only shows his absolute respect for the author’s contributions, but also truly and objectively reflects the attitudes of the people who joined the society at that time towards Buddhism, association and the provincial governor himself, which is what the provincial governor likes to see, which makes the best publicity for his goal of blending Confucianism and Buddhism through association. It is precisely because the province often adopts such a method of editing and engraving that it was inadvertently engraved by the provincial governor (959-1020) before his death, that is, the original engraving of this book was the best proof. If it is later engraved, and the personnel and dynasty have changed, it is impossible to have this kind of "messy" layout again, and its layout will inevitably be adjusted accordingly.

From this, it is thought that version editors usually attach great importance to bank payments, and different bank payments mean different books and different version systems. However, people often don’t pay attention to the phenomenon of different lines and characters in the same book, or think that it is the intention of the engraver, or that it is caused by the patched version, and the reasons for it are lack of understanding from the outside to the inside. This book of the Northern Song Dynasty gives us an inspiration, that is, the inequality of lines and characters can not be ignored in the appraisal version, which is likely to be an important basis for deciding whether to engrave the original or copy it.

Beijing, Guangdong and Hubei provinces have all issued policies on car purchase subsidies. Scrapping or transferring old cars under my name can get subsidies, ranging from several thousand yuan to ten thousand yuan. It should be noted that the deadline for applying for these subsidies is December 31, and the overdue period is regarded as waiver.

It is worth noting that the subsidy policy for the purchase of new cars by scrapped car owners damaged in Zhengzhou rainstorm in July this year was extended to December 31. Consumers can apply for subsidies after obtaining the "double certificate" for scrapping vehicles and completing the purchase and licensing of new cars.

The deadline for application is December 31, 2021.

Talent living allowance

From December 1, 2021, a new award for outstanding talents in Shanghai began to be accepted, and the application time was as of December 31.

According to the news of Shanghai Songjiang Talent Service Center, qualified undergraduate, master’s and doctoral graduates can receive a living allowance of about 20,000 yuan, 30,000 yuan and 40,000 yuan in three years, in addition to a one-time employment reward of about 6,300 yuan and a cultivation reward of about 13,100 yuan.

Timely completion of pension eligibility certification.

Under normal circumstances, retirees should receive qualification certification for pension treatment every year, and they can receive their pensions normally after passing the certification, otherwise their pensions may be suspended.

In some areas, the deadline for receiving qualification certification for pension benefits is the end of the year. If you haven’t applied for certification yet, hurry up!

1. Don’t worry if you haven’t been certified yet, as long as it belongs to:

√ Retirees from endowment insurance for employees of urban enterprises

√ Retirees of endowment insurance in government agencies and institutions

√ Persons receiving pension insurance for urban and rural residents

In either case, you can easily complete the authentication on your mobile phone!

Scan the applet above and get the electronic social security card. Click "National Service" on the homepage of the electronic social security card — "Social security treatment qualification certification", then click "Start certification" and follow the operation instructions.

2. If the elderly don’t know how to use mobile phones, children can help complete the certification through the "family service" function!

Specific operation steps: Children can use their own electronic social security cards, bind their parents’ electronic social security cards through the function of "family service", and click "treatment qualification authentication" to start authentication.

3. What if I can’t use my mobile phone and my children are not around?

You can apply to the local human resources and social security department for on-site service.

Receive unemployment benefits in time

Unemployment allowance is a phased welfare policy to deal with the epidemic. If you are still unemployed after receiving unemployment insurance benefits, or do not meet the conditions for receiving unemployment insurance benefits, you can apply for unemployment allowance for up to 6 months.

The deadline for applying for multi-stage unemployment insurance benefits is December 31. If it is not processed within the specified time, it will not be processed after the policy deadline.

Various points are collected in time.

Near the end of the year, there are many App points that have to be cleared! Many points can be exchanged for real money. Don’t you know these points exchange tips?

Points for gifts:

There are points convertible gifts in Alipay, WeChat payment and credit cards.

Points for telephone charges:

The points of the three major operators can be exchanged for telephone charges, which can be directly recharged or deducted. Generally, operators will clear the points at the end of the year and collect them quickly.

Second, don’t forget! These expenses should be paid in time.

Pay medical insurance for urban and rural residents in time, and don’t delay reimbursement in the coming year.

In order to enjoy the basic medical insurance benefits in time, it is best for eligible insured persons to pay within the prescribed time limit, and they can enjoy the medical insurance benefits only after a waiting period.

For example, it is clear in Beijing that people who miss the centralized insurance period or stipulate the insurance period can participate in the medical insurance for urban and rural residents at any time, but they can only enjoy the medical insurance benefits for urban and rural residents after 3 months.

It is reported that the deadline for the payment of medical insurance for urban and rural residents in Shanghai in 2022 is December 25, 2021; Beijing’s centralized participation in the basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents in 2022 will end on December 30th.

The deadline for payment varies from place to place. You can check the specific information through official website, the local bureau of human resources and social security.

Timely payment of flexible employment social security

In order to reduce the economic burden of the insured with flexible employment, the human and social departments have proposed that if it is really difficult to pay the basic old-age insurance premium in 2020, it can be paid before the end of 2021. However, by this year, the phased deferred payment policy has been cancelled, and the social insurance premium for this year must be paid before the deadline, and the payment period cannot be increased by means of post-payment.

In other words, the unpaid part in 2020 can be repaid in 2021, but if it is delayed until 2022, it will not be repaid.

This year, the deadline for payment varies from place to place, but in many places it is December 25, reminding the insured flexible employees that they must pay within the specified time, otherwise they may not get the pension or get a low pension level due to insufficient payment period.

 Third, empty the backlog and start the New Year

Have all the to-do items in 2021 been completed?

Hurry up if you haven’t finished yet!

Investigation of South China Tigers in Shaanxi Province: There may be eight South China Tigers in the discovery area.






    On the afternoon of October 3rd, Zhou Zhenglong, a villager from Wencai Village, Chengguan Town, Zhenping County, Shaanxi Province, took a precious photo of the wild South China tiger in Shenzhou Bay, Wencai Village. This is the first record of the discovery of South China Tiger in Qinba Mountain area of Shaanxi Province in the past 43 years. China News Agency issued Zhou Zhenglong photo


    Early yesterday morning, Lu Xirong rushed to the office to step up the preparation of a report submitted to the Shaanxi Provincial Government and the State Forestry Administration. Lu Xirong is the captain of the investigation team of South China Tiger in Shaanxi Province, and he is the most knowledgeable person about the wild South China Tiger in Shaanxi Province. It is precisely because of this that Lucy Rongcheng has become the target of media pursuit in recent days.


    On October 3rd, Zhou Zhenglong, a villager in Wencai Village, Zhenping County, Shaanxi Province, and the guide of the investigation team, took photos of the wild South China tiger. These photos are the most direct evidence to confirm the existence of the South China tiger for the first time since 1964. Now, Shaanxi wild South China tiger discovery site is required to stop all hunting activities.


    How can we be sure that this set of photos is true? What kind of protection will Shaanxi Province carry out for the South China Tiger next? On these issues, the reporter had an exclusive interview with Lu Xirong.


    Reporter: Historically, is Shaanxi the main activity area for tigers?


    Lucion: Yes. Tigers in Shaanxi are mainly distributed in two areas in history. One is in the Qinling Mountains. In 1964, a South China tiger was found killed in Heping County, Qinling Mountains. Tigers have been found in recent 40 years. Another area is the Daba Mountains. The place where the South China Tiger was discovered this time belongs to this mountain range.


    The investigation team dare not sleep at night.


    Reporter: Under what background did the investigation of wild South China tigers in Shaanxi begin?


    Lu Xirong: In recent years, people often report the discovery of tigers. In order to find out the situation, I made a special investigation in Zhenping County in March last year. I found that Zhenping County has high mountains and deep forests and a small population, which is very suitable for the survival of wild tigers. In addition, there are many local herbivores, such as wild boar, crested deer and impala, which are very suitable for the survival of South China tigers. Therefore, after I came back, I immediately set up the South China Tiger Investigation Team in Shaanxi Province.


    Reporter: How many members are there in Shaanxi South China Tiger Investigation Team? What is the composition of the players?


    Lu Xirong: This survey was organized and implemented by Shaanxi Nature Reserve and Wildlife Management Station. There are 30 members of the South China Tiger Investigation Team in Shaanxi Province, including 10 local guides. There are professors, senior researchers and rangers in local forest farms. Most of the guides are people who have been engaged in hunting for a long time before. They are familiar with the situation on the mountain and have mastered the activities of the South China Tiger. And the most familiar with the situation is Zhou Zhenglong.


    Reporter: So far, how many investigations have been conducted by the South China Tiger Investigation Team?


    Lu Xirong: There were three large-scale investigations. The first survey started in June 2006 and lasted for 12 days. In January 2007, we launched the second survey, which also lasted for 19 days. The third survey was launched in March, mainly to supplement the previous survey.


    Reporter: Where are the areas under investigation concentrated?


    Lu Xirong: The latest investigation was carried out in Zhenping County and Pingli County, involving 135,000 hectares, mainly in Zhenping County.


    Reporter: Has the investigation ever been in danger?


    Lu Xirong: The investigation team is quite hard and very difficult in the mountains. Because the tiger is not a panda after all, the wild South China tiger is two or three meters long, very fierce and aggressive, so it is quite dangerous to search in the mountains.


    In January, 2007, a 3-person investigation team went up the mountain and found the footprints of a very valuable tiger. The investigation team members want to continue to investigate further, but if they return that night, they will still go to this place the next day. Therefore, the investigation team decided to spend the night on the mountain at that time. The team members set up a simple tent with plastic sheets in the snow. All night, the team members were worried that they might be attacked by tigers, so they made a fire on the ground and sat around all night.


    The villagers have caught young tigers.


    Reporter: What evidence did the investigation team find in the past?


    Lu Xirong: In recent years, local villagers have seen the South China Tiger 20 times. There are 9 incidents in which the South China tiger preys on people, wild animals and livestock. Especially in October 1972, Tang Zhiqing, a 27-year-old villager from Wencai Village, Zhenping County, was eaten by a tiger. In May 1979, a villager in Wencai Village, Zhenping County once captured two tiger cubs in a cave. In addition, the local villagers heard the South China tiger cry five times in estrus and found feces three times.


    On January 19 and February 6, 2007, the investigation team found the footprint chain of South China Tiger in Wencai Village. The place where the footprints were found was 1900 meters above sea level, and the temperature at that time was MINUS 20 degrees Celsius. The front footprint is 13.5 ~ 15cm long, the back footprint is 14.5 ~ 16cm long, and the step distance is 109 ~ 110cm. Footprints are oval, and claw marks are obvious because of the deep snow. According to the identification, these footprints were left by the South China Tiger.


    Reporter: How can we be sure that this is the footprint of the South China Tiger?


    Lu Xirong: We specially compared the photos of Siberian tigers raised in Qinling Wildlife Park in Xi ‘an, and found that the footprints are very similar, but the footprints are small. Because the South China tiger is smaller than the Northeast tiger. On July 6 this year, Shaanxi Provincial Forestry Department organized experts to analyze, study and identify, and determined that it was the footprint of South China Tiger.


    The photos of South China Tiger have been appraised.


    Reporter: Why didn’t the investigation team see the South China Tiger with their own eyes?


    Lu Xirong: First of all, the number of South China tigers is very rare. Secondly, tigers are not animals that move in groups, but generally individuals come out to move. Moreover, the life habit of the South China tiger is to hide in one place to sleep during the day and come out for activities and predation at night. It is very difficult to see the South China Tiger with your own eyes. When we investigate, we usually go up the mountain in groups of three, and the sound is relatively loud. The South China tiger has a keen sense of smell and hearing, and it will run away when it hears it far away.


    Reporter: When did you see this photo taken by Zhou Zhenglong? What was it like at that time?


    Lucirong: I first saw this group of photos on the afternoon of October 10th. At that time, I was very happy and excited But it was also my expectation that the wild South China tiger was photographed. According to the investigation, the South China Tiger does exist, so I think the photos of the South China Tiger can definitely be photographed, even if Zhou Zhenglong can’t, others can certainly be photographed.


    There may be eight South China tigers.


    Reporter: How can this group of photos be sure to be true?


    Lucirong: This time, Zhou Zhenglong photographed the South China Tiger with a film camera and a digital camera, which was borrowed from his relatives. At that time, the distance between Zhou Zhenglong and the tiger was about 60 meters, and the South China tiger did not move when shooting. There are 31 film photos and 40 digital cameras in this group of photos taken by Zhou Zhenglong.


    After the photos were sent, the leaders of Shaanxi Provincial Forestry Department attached great importance to them. Sun Chengqian, deputy director of the Forestry Department, was also an animal expert. He carefully appraised the photos sent, especially the negatives, and confirmed that they were true.


    In addition, Zhou Zhenglong was once one of the most experienced hunters in the area. He was very familiar with the life habits of the South China Tiger, and it was entirely possible to find the South China Tiger.


    Reporter: You once analyzed that this South China tiger is a young tiger. How did you see that?


    Lu Xirong: This South China tiger is round in shape, with a particularly shiny coat. It is not very big. You can tell it is a young tiger at a glance, but you can’t tell its gender. This South China tiger is about four or five years old, which is equivalent to 14 or 5 years old for people. The age of wild tigers is between 25 and 30.


    Reporter: What’s your judgment on the situation of the local South China Tiger?


    Lu Xirong: We have confirmed that there are indeed wild South China tigers in Zhenping County, Shaanxi Province, and they are a small population with reproductive capacity.


    Reporter: What is the basis?


    Lu Xirong: There should be at least one wild South China tiger breeding unit in this area. A breeding unit refers to four to five South China tigers, or even seven or eight. Without a breeding unit, this South China tiger can’t survive.


    Reward is to promote the awareness of protection.


    Reporter: Why should Zhou Zhenglong be rewarded with 20,000 yuan?


    Lu Xirong: The purpose is to encourage local villagers to protect wild animals. If the local people hunt, their income is less than 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a year. This time, Zhou Zhenglong will be rewarded with 20,000 yuan, which is to advocate a sense of protecting wild animals in the local area.


    Reporter: What is the significance of the rediscovery of the South China Tiger?


    Lucion: It’s very significant. For more than 40 years, there is no strongest record of the wild South China tiger in China. Some international media have published articles saying that the wild South China tiger has become extinct. This discovery proves that this species has not become extinct, which is of great significance for the protection of species. In the past, the State Forestry Administration analyzed that there were 20 ~ 30 wild South China tigers in China. This discovery is a powerful demonstration.


    The reappearance of the wild South China tiger also shows that our country has made great efforts in ecological protection in recent years.


    Reporter: What are your plans for the protection of wild South China tigers?


    Lu Xirong: To build a national wild South China Tiger Reserve, it needs certain procedures, investigation and expert argumentation. Now, we are going to take an emergency temporary protection measure first, that is, to establish a special protection area for wild South China tigers. Now, all hunting activities are stopped in the wild South China tiger discovery area in Shaanxi.


    Wild South China tigers may also be found in Lingnan area.


    (Reporter yangjin) Recently, the reporter learned that the most active area of the South China Tiger was actually Guangdong and its surrounding areas, but in recent decades, the number has decreased and then decreased. At present, a tiger-hunting team composed of more than 10 people, with the support of the Guangdong Provincial Forestry Department, once again went into the mountains to find tigers.


    As early as October 10th, 2006, supported by Guangdong Provincial Forestry Department, more than 10 South China Tiger field expedition teams from Guangdong South China Institute of Endangered Animals officially went deep into Nanling area, the only place in Guangdong where South China tigers may exist, and started the official road of tiger hunting. The tiger-hunting team originally planned to search for tigers in the mountains and virgin forests twice a year, but now the search density has increased, and there are five or six times a year to look for tigers in the mountains.


    It is understood that in the 1950s, there were about 4,000 wild South China tigers in China, but only after more than 10 years, the number dropped to less than 100. From 1990 to 1992, the State Forestry Administration organized a survey of South China tigers and their habitats in Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, and the published results were 20-30. In the survey in Guangdong Province from 2000 to 2002, the number was only 5-6. Dr. Hu Huijian, captain of the tiger search team of Guangdong South China Institute of Endangered Animals, said, "The number of wild South China tigers is even less than that of the national treasure giant panda, which has to be worrying."


    Newly discovered south China tiger or new tiger species


    After more than a year’s efforts, did Guangdong Souhu team find the wild South China tiger? Hu Huijian told the reporter truthfully that it has not been found yet, but with the deepening of the investigation, it is very promising to find the South China Tiger in Guangdong.


    "But we still hope to find it." Hu Huijian introduced that there are 280,000 square kilometers of mountainous areas in Guangdong, at least half of which are suitable for the survival of the South China Tiger. Although it has only retreated to Nanling, this area has at least 40,000 square kilometers to support its life. At present, all surveys in Guangdong only cover 1/10 of its area, and there are still many places where trees are too tall and grass can’t get in. What is the situation there is unknown. "Now that we have remote sensing technology and developed transportation, there is hope to expand the investigation area, which is also the hope of finding the South China Tiger."


    For this South China tiger found in Shaanxi, Dr. Hu Huijian made a bolder speculation. He believed that this tiger was located in the special area at the end of Qinling Mountains in terms of distribution range, and it may be a new tiger species, but it needs further confirmation. If this hypothesis is established, its significance may be greater than the discovery of wild South China tigers. Guangzhou Daily News Blue Page reporter He Tao.

How to choose a plug-in hybrid and fuel vehicle for different consumer groups?

2021 Qin PLUS DM-i 55KM flagship model 

  Qin PLUS DM-i takes Xiaoyun-plug-in special 1.5L high-efficiency engine, EHS electric hybrid system and DM-i super hybrid special blade battery as core components. The thermal efficiency of the engine is as high as 43.04%, and the fuel consumption is as low as 3.8L/100km. It also has Atkinson cycle, high compression ratio of 15.5, EGR exhaust gas recirculation system and split cooling technology. The maximum power is 81kW, the maximum torque is 135Nm, and it meets the national emission standard of VI B.. In terms of battery life, Qin PLUS DM-i has four models, equipped with blade batteries, with pure battery life of 120KM and 55KM respectively. The comprehensive cruising range can reach 1245 kilometers with full fuel and electricity. At the same time, with the advantage of high-power motor, the acceleration of Qin PLUS DM-i can reach 7.3 seconds, which is 2-3 seconds faster than that of the same class fuel vehicle and comparable to that of 2.0T engine.

  The DM-i super hybrid system is driven by electricity in most working conditions, and the fuel engine only runs in the high-efficiency range, which avoids the noise and vibration caused by the change of engine speed. Moreover, Qin PLUS DM-i does not need to shift gears regardless of oil and electricity, and the whole vehicle has no sense of frustration, ride comfort and NVH performance. Qin PLUS DM-i has completely got rid of the dependence on charging, and it is no longer necessary to look for charging piles everywhere, like traditional hybrid cars, because power loss leads to higher fuel consumption and worse driving experience.

  Editor’s comment: As a plug-in hybrid model, Qin PLUS DM-i has a price advantage in both its own brand and joint venture brand models. In terms of battery life, even under the condition of power loss, its fuel consumption performance and acceleration performance are stronger than those of naturally aspirated or small-displacement turbocharged models with the same price. Without charging conditions, it can be used as an ordinary hybrid model, and the battery life performance with full oil and over a thousand batteries is completely free from battery life anxiety. The low pre-sale threshold, excellent power consumption and long comprehensive battery life are expected to help it achieve a "dimension reduction blow". As for the basic links such as appearance, interior, configuration and space, Qin PLUS DM-i also showed a comprehensive performance, so that people could see its sincerity.

High-profile March into purified water Nongfu Spring and push "green bottle" to declare war on Wahaha Ipoh.

  Nongfu Spring couldn’t sit still after China Resources Beverage, the parent company of Pure Water Brother Ipoh, handed it to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. On April 23rd, beijing business today reporter learned that Nongfu Spring launched "Green Bottle" pure water, claiming to be the natural water source from ten water sources including Qiandao Lake, Emei Mountain and Danjiangkou. Nongfu Spring’s move or breaking into the hinterland of pure water is a declaration of war against brands such as Wahaha and Ipoh.

  Industry analysts pointed out that Nongfu Spring’s main drinking water growth is weak, so launching new products to make up for the market vacancy is essentially an all-round and all-category competition with competitors. In addition, Wahaha and Ipoh also launched mineral water before, and Nongfu Spring needs to find new competitive advantages.

  Invest in pure water

  "Today, I still insist that mineral elements in water are vital to human health, which is why I insist on producing natural water." Just over a month after Zhong Shanshan, the founder of Nongfu Spring, released "Three Things between Zong Er and me", Nongfu Spring invested in pure water.

  On April 23, a propaganda picture of "Nongfu Spring Pure Water" was circulated on the Internet. In the picture, Nongfu Spring changed the classic red bottled water packaging, and the new packaging was green with a net content of 550ml. According to the propaganda map, the purified water of Nongfu Spring comes from ten water sources, including Qiandao Lake, Danjiangkou and Emei Mountain in Sichuan.

  At the same time as the publicity map was released, Nongfu Spring purified water has not been put on the shelves of major e-commerce platforms, and it has not been seen in offline stores. The staff of several water stations told beijing business today that this product is not available in the store, and will be notified as soon as it arrives.

  According to official website, there are eight types of water business in Nongfu Spring, including drinking natural water, Changbai Mountain natural snow mountain mineral water, drinking natural water (suitable for infants), drinking natural mineral water (lithium-containing), drinking natural mountain spring water (for making tea), natural mineral water (sports cover), natural mineral water (glass bottle) and natural mineral water (zodiac bottle).

  This is the second time that Nongfu Spring has introduced pure water after 24 years. In 1997, with Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang as the water source, the first packaged drinking water of Nongfu Spring was put on the market. Until 1999, Nongfu Spring was still producing pure water. In 2000, Zhong Shanshan "shelled" pure water, saying that it contained no minerals, so it was not good for people’s health, and announced that it would no longer produce pure water and instead produce natural water. After it was announced that pure water would be discontinued and all natural water would be produced, a new classification of natural drinking water appeared in the domestic bottled water market.

  After 24 years, why does Nongfu Spring produce pure water again? A related person from Nongfu Spring said, "The natural water of Nongfu Spring has not changed and will continue to produce. Pure water also uses natural water sources, but the filtration form is different. "

  However, according to Zhan Junhao, a well-known strategic positioning expert and founder of Fujian Huace brand positioning consulting, the weak growth of water business may be a factor for Nongfu Spring to consider launching pure water. With the improvement of consumers’ requirements for drinking water quality, the pure water market still has certain growth potential. Nongfu Spring’s move may be to seize more market share and improve overall performance.

  Last year, the total income of Nongfu Spring was 42.667 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 28.4%. Among them, packaged drinking water increased by 10.9% year-on-year. In the whole revenue structure, the revenue proportion of packaged drinking water fell below 50% for the first time.

  The opponent is pressing hard

  Nongfu Spring, which has occupied the first market share of packaged drinking water, is facing the pressure of competitors.

  In the field of natural mineral water, Ipoh and Wahaha were both laid out earlier. In 2023, Ipoh launched the natural mineral water brand "Benyou", and Wahaha also launched natural mineral water products in 2022. Together with Baisui Mountain, which has been deeply cultivated in this field, the brand competition is fierce.

  In addition, there are many companies that cross borders. For example, Yuanqi Forest launched "mineral" natural soft mineral water, Yili Group launched "Yike Huoquan" natural mineral water, and pharmaceutical companies () spent 500 million yuan to build Mingyue Renhe mineral water plant project.

  According to the consulting report, China Resources Ipoh’s parent company, China Resources Beverage, is the second largest packaged drinking water enterprise in China and the largest purified drinking water enterprise in China (according to the retail sales in 2023). The retail sales of the company’s "Yibao" brand drinking pure water products reached 39.5 billion yuan in 2023, making it the first brand in the drinking pure water market in China. According to the report, in 2023, the market share of China Resources Beverage in packaged drinking water market and purified drinking water market will be 18.4% and 32.7% respectively.

  On April 23rd, 2024, China Resources Beverage submitted an application for listing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and the co-sponsors were BOC International, CITIC Securities, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and UBS Group AG. In terms of performance, from 2021 to 2023, the revenue of China Resources Beverage was about 11.340 billion yuan, 12.623 billion yuan and 13.515 billion yuan respectively. The profits in the same period were about 858 million yuan, 989 million yuan and 1.331 billion yuan respectively. The gross profit margin in the past three years was 43.8%, 41.7% and 44.7% respectively.

  Wahaha’s revenue in 2021-2022 was 51.915 billion yuan and 51.202 billion yuan respectively, and its performance was relatively stable, and its revenue further increased in 2023. Jingtian’s mineral water brand "Baisui Mountain" achieved sales of 11 billion yuan in 2021.

  According to Euromonitor international data, from 2017 to 2022, the top five bottled water markets were Nongfu Spring (12.2%), Ipoh (8.3%), Jingtian (5.3%), Master Kong (3.2%) and Wahaha (2.2%).

  Zhu Danpeng, a food industry analyst in China, said, "It is normal that Nongfu Spring’s drinking water growth is weak, because the whole has reached the ceiling. In the future, from the development trend of the whole industry, beverages will account for the bulk, especially table drinks have great room for development. Master Kong and the unified growth are all beverage sectors. "

  Make up for market vacancy

  For Nongfu Spring, natural water and purified water are two different categories, and purified water is a big field that has not yet been laid out.

  In the past, Nongfu Spring mainly promoted natural water and naturally resisted other categories. Now, natural water has become bigger and it is reasonable to expand the product line. According to the research report of Academia Sinica Puhua Research Institute, Chinese consumers are still dominated by pure water and natural water. In 2019, the retail sales of pure water alone accounted for 60.4% of the total retail sales of bottled drinking water.

  Song Liang, a senior dairy analyst, said, "Nongfu Spring pushes pure water. First, the main mineral water business may have a significant market decline, so some new products are introduced to make up for the market vacancy; Second, Wahaha and Ipoh have also pushed mineral water before, and the advantages of Nongfu Spring’s natural water are no longer there. In the end, they will all fall into involution and compete with competitors in all directions. Third, it may be considered from the perspective of cost. At present, the price of drinking water is generally low. Launching a purified water product may launch a price war with several enterprises at the same time, which should be a strategic weapon. "

  Chen Fangchao, general manager of Junzhi Strategic Consulting Industry Department, said, "There is no clear distinction between mineral water, natural water or pure water in the cognition of ordinary consumers. At the terminal, all kinds of bottled water are collectively referred to as mineral water. At this time, it is feasible for Nongfu Spring to expand its pure water business on the cognitive side because it recognizes the big brand of bottled water. The introduction of purified water with higher quality-price ratio by brand advantage can hit down some markets of Ipoh and Wahaha, and form better competition and coordination of multi-category and multi-price belts on the product line. The introduction of pure water is conducive to alleviating the downward trend of the Group’s drinking water business and bringing confidence to investors and distributors to inject new business, thus further expanding the drinking water business. "

  However, Zhan Junhao also said that Nongfu Spring also faces certain risks and challenges in launching pure water. "First of all, pure water brands such as Ipoh and Wahaha already have a certain market share and consumer base, and Nongfu Spring needs to make more efforts to compete for market share. Secondly, consumers are increasingly demanding the quality and taste of pure water, and Nongfu Spring needs to ensure that the quality and taste of products can meet the needs of consumers. "

  Beijing business today reporter sent an interview letter to Nongfu Spring by email about the reasons for producing pure water and the retail price of the terminal, but no reply was received before the press release.

Good things are coming? Cecilia Cheung issued a document in the middle of the night to stop work, suspected of having four children, and Nicholas Tse’s cold-faced response caused controversy

The content of this article comes from the internet. If it is inconsistent with the actual situation or there is infringement, please contact to delete it.

In the entertainment circle, Cecilia Cheung, like an immortal star, once conquered many audiences with his excellent appearance and acting skills. However, as the years passed, her status gradually faded. Despite the heavy burden of life, the responsibility of raising three children makes her make frequent appearances in variety shows and seek a living.

The present situation of adversity

Cecilia Cheung was injured in the second program "Dance Out of My Life" and withdrew from the competition. His physical condition was tested. Years of fatigue and pressure have made her body no longer young, which is a huge burden for her. Recently, a late-night post announced that she would suspend all public work arrangements in August, which even pointed out her physical hidden dangers.

Cecilia Cheung’s late-night post has aroused many speculations. Just finished shooting a magazine and was photographed gathering with friends. Her state doesn’t seem to be much problem. However, why did her body suddenly collapse in just a few days?

Rumors of happy events

As early as a few months ago, the news about Cecilia Cheung and "Mainland Xiang Huaqiang" Sun Donghai’s secret license has spread. Although the two did not respond positively, recent signs seem to confirm this rumor. Sun Donghai accompanied at the party, does this mean that Cecilia Cheung is about to have a happy event?

Cross-strait expectations

Living alone and raising three children, life in Cecilia Cheung is never easy. However, if we can find a bosom friend and work together to face the pressure of life together, it will undoubtedly be a long-awaited happiness. And her suspension this time, does it mean that she and Sun Donghai are planning the upcoming wedding?

However, there is another speculation, perhaps even more ridiculous. Is it possible that Cecilia Cheung is pregnant with a fourth child? It seems unbelievable. After all, it is very difficult to raise three children. What kind of test is it for her to have another child?

The effort behind it

There have been media reports that Cecilia Cheung is pregnant with her fourth child, and it seems that she has been pregnant with life all the time. However, if this is the case, she will need more time to protect the baby, and the shutdown may not be just short-lived. Does this imply that she chose to leave the screen temporarily in the face of a bigger test?

An indifferent response

Just as everyone was worried, Cecilia Cheung’s ex-husband Nicholas Tse responded with indifference. Although Nicholas Tse provided a lot for the two children in property, he was not active enough in companionship. In the face of Cecilia Cheung’s sudden shutdown, he didn’t seem to show concern, and even expressed dissatisfaction with Cecilia Cheung’s work attitude.

Perhaps it was Nicholas Tse’s attitude that forced Cecilia Cheung to make this decision. Whether it is physical discomfort or other reasons, she needs time to adjust her state. We expect that Cecilia Cheung can get out of the trough as soon as possible, send positive news to fans, and feel gratified and proud of his efforts in life.

Foreign media photographed the world’s largest electronic waste cemetery in China: 5,000 workshops in the town, stinking.

Recently, a photojournalist from Reuters went to Guiyu Town, Guangdong Province, which is the world’s largest dumping ground for electronic waste.

During the peak period, there are 5,000 recycling workshops operating at the same time, handling 15,000 tons of garbage every day. These wastes include hard disks, mobile phones, computers and other electronic wastes from all over the world.

China has consumed a lot of electronic products and brought a lot of electronic waste at the same time, and has become the second largest producer of electronic waste after the United States.

Eight workers and four tricycles simultaneously load and unload one vehicle of electronic waste.
In the recycling station managed by the government, a worker is repackaging garbage.

A worker is recycling CD players.

Most workers working in recycling workshops work in poorly ventilated workshops. Because there are no protective tools for them to use, they usually disassemble waste electronic products by their own hands.

Metal shells of electronic products piled up in the suburbs of Guiyu.

Three-wheeled motorcycles dragged electronic waste to a small local workshop.

Tricycles for transporting electronic waste can be seen everywhere on the road.

In the process of recycling garbage, circuit boards and other accessories will be melted to recycle valuable metals, such as gold, copper, aluminum and so on. However, a large number of pollutants, heavy metals and chemicals are released into the river, which seriously pollutes the local water source. The color of the river is also black due to the influx of a large number of industrial wastewater, and the whole town of Guiyu is shrouded in the stench of burnt plastic.

Exceeding the target by 120,000%, breaking a new record around Wandering Earth 2!


Special feature of 1905 film network On February 12, it ranked among the top ten box offices in mainland film history with a box office of over 3.65 billion. Since its release, besides its reputation, its official surroundings have accumulated sales of over 100 million yuan, which has greatly set a new record for the sales of film derivatives in China.


How exaggerated is this wave of "saturated crowdfunding"?


The crowdfunding goal was achieved within one minute after the project was launched, and the accumulated sales exceeded 100 million in eight days. Later, the officials and merchants repeatedly called for "rational consumption", and the fans of "Little Broken Ball" have "urged" from inside the play to outside the play: "One household is stupid" and "One door frame for one family" have not been achieved. How can you sleep? Let’s buy!

Up to now, many manufacturers involved in the production of official derivatives of Wandering Earth 2 have far exceeded their expected targets in crowdfunding and sales. At the same time, popular new products such as "Ma Ou" around a variety of popular IP and subsequent calls from the audience continue to be sold and developed.


When the movie Wandering Earth 2 successfully "knocked down" the door of China science fiction movies, the new record of "Benben" also showed us a new blue ocean of film derivatives.


Replay Wandering Earth 2 "Saturated Crowdfunding";

Sales surged with the box office year-on-year, and the cooperation cycle still needs to be advanced.


According to the statistics of various platforms, the sales amount of many crowdfunding and pre-sale projects related to Wandering Earth 2 has far exceeded the expected targets of various manufacturers.



In the movie, the scene of "Benben, you are a military dog" impressed countless audiences. This mechanical dog with sci-fi futuristic feeling and "cute point" has also become the "popular king" around the official authorization of Wandering Earth 2.


Saifan Science Fiction Space released four batches of assembled and finished "Benben" models before the crowdfunding cut-off, with a cumulative number of more than 226,000 boxes. And 52TOYS achieved over 10.74 million yuan with a turnover of over 57,000 only by using this product of the all-purpose box series.



Wang Yin, senior product director of 52TOYS, revealed in an exclusive interview with 1905 Film Network that the amount of this crowdfunding project obviously increased with the rapid growth of the box office of Wandering Earth 2: "Three days before the crowdfunding began, the daily amount increased at a rate of 100,000 yuan, and on the fourth day, the influence of the film expanded, and with our continuous marketing actions, the amount gradually increased at a rate of nearly one million yuan per day."



In mid-2022, 52TOYS reached a cooperation with Wandering Earth 2, which is still in the production period, and developed a deformed mecha toy for the mechanical dog Benben, which appeared in the film. Whether the scenes in the film are "out of the circle" or the strength of attracting gold in the market today, it proves the success of the "two-way trip" between the film makers and manufacturers at the level of product selection and research and development.


According to Wang Yin, at the beginning of the cooperation between the two sides, the image of "Benben" in Wandering Earth 2 has not been fully determined, and the content of the film was officially confirmed until the fourth quarter. However, the development time of BOX series deformation mecha is usually at least six months, so the time left for 52TOYS in this cooperation is not too much. From the early stage, according to the "thick line" modeling framework of the film, to the use of supply chain to make dozens of "ep1 stage" final color samples in advance before the release, and finally completed the relevant content required for product details before the crowdfunding period.



The characteristics of film production and the relatively uncertain market also make "crowdfunding" an ecology more suitable for the sales of derivatives in the film and television industry. "When we clearly knew that the time to market of the product could not be synchronized with the release of Wandering Earth 2, we began to think about how to sell the product, and finally adopted the crowdfunding method. First, because crowdfunding can provide consumers with more ways to play besides sales, for example, after the crowdfunding amount is full, you can unlock some benefits; Second, there are huge uncertainties in the domestic film derivatives market, including this year’s Spring Festival file itself, so we can estimate the sales situation in advance and prepare the corresponding production capacity through crowdfunding. " Wang Wei said.


"Dynamic unlocking" has indeed become one of the important graspers to drive sales in the crowdfunding stage of Wandering Earth 2. With the increase in the number of people involved in crowdfunding, various projects are constantly adding various new cooperation or benefits under the suggestion of the "small broken ball" spiritual shareholders.


Taking 52TOYS as an example, in addition to matching the stupid magnetic expression, the company also closely communicated with the film during the film’s hot screening, and added the door frame robot that attracted everyone’s attention and love in Wandering Earth 2 to develop deformation toys, which is also a brand-new attempt in its similar cooperation projects. "At present, we are still in close contact with the film side to jointly explore more opportunities in the derivatives of Wandering Earth 2."



This cooperation, the box office sales of the previous works and the great influence of the series of works are all important indicators for the cooperation and reference of major manufacturers such as 52TOYS. The success of Wandering Earth 2 has also given all parties greater confidence in this IP.


Wang Yin bluntly said that the company expects to reach a deeper cooperation with the filmmakers in the next project. At the same time, what it expects more is that the film and television derivatives industry can take a more important step: "I hope to participate in the project at the early stage of film production, just like the mature overseas film derivatives model, so as to develop more and better derivatives and launch the products in a more timely manner, so that everyone can feel the fun of derivatives while enjoying the film."


After exceeding the target by 120,000% and refreshing the record:

Where will the future of "Benben" turn?


After the total crowdfunding amount of all parties exceeded the target of 120,000%+,the derivatives of Wandering Earth 2 have not only set off a sales frenzy around the film, but also attracted more people’s attention and investment through the "out of the circle" of this IP.


Miss Su, the audience, is a variety of peripheral and hand-made enthusiasts. After watching Wandering Earth 2 on New Year’s Day, she bought a variety of products including 52TOYS universal box stupid model, 1:2.5 replica of sheep and digital life cards produced by Saifan Science Fiction Space through crowdfunding.


"Wandering Earth 2" is popular around this time. I think there are two main reasons. First, the science fiction theme (advantage), ordinary movies rarely buy so many models around, objectively do not have such conditions, The Wandering Earth is stupid, Moss and doorframes, and so on. In addition, the models that have come out at present are also well done, such as Benben, and there are many types for the audience to choose from. As a souvenir, you can buy a finished product that you can play directly. Fans who like to assemble can buy an assembled version. There is always one for you. " Miss Su gave her opinion.


As a "veteran player", she said that at present, "non-film" peripheral products in China already have a very mature market, and many brands that cooperated with Wandering Earth 2 this time are "familiar faces" in the industry. This also provides a layer of quality assurance for the surrounding production of this film.



However, as Wang Yin mentioned above, due to the particularity of the production cycle of film and television works and the great uncertainty of the domestic film and television derivatives industry at present, the timing of joining the production link is still relatively late. If you can participate in the image production of the role in advance, it may have a more positive impetus to the later R&D and sales.


The form of crowdfunding is bound to further lengthen the production cycle of peripheral products. Take the announcement of Saifan Science Fiction Space, which cut off the order in advance, for example. At present, the earliest batch of four batches of products must be delivered before the end of June, and the fourth batch will be completed at least in November. At the same time, because the number of orders is close to the annual capacity limit of the factory, there may be some delay in the later period.


Xiao Liu is the first time to buy "new users" around crowdfunding movies. According to the announcement, the finished products Benben and customized digital life cards she bought will not be "delivered" until the second half of the year. "I’m not in a hurry, but I’m a little sorry. For example, I’ve brushed the’ small broken ball’ three times, but I can’t punch in with my stupid and life card."


Too long waiting time will affect the sales of products to some extent. For example, before "Wandering Earth 2", the film also planned additional derivatives because of the box office boom, but due to the lag of the cycle, even pirated products greatly affected the related income.



Miss Su understands the production cycle, but she also admits that the derivative industry in the domestic film and television industry has not yet formed a climate. Compared with the development of hot IP in foreign countries such as Marvel Comics and Harry Potter, it needs more careful planning: "Otherwise, the audience will not generate electricity for love for a long time, and the future will become more and more strict and’ picky’."


Wang Yin also gave feedback on the current test of research and development around film and television from the perspective of the industry: "Although film derivatives have taken shape in overseas markets, not all IP is suitable for developing derivatives. IP, which is suitable for developing derivatives, can first make the public feel emotional when watching film and television content, thus giving birth to the desire to buy. Usually, most of such IP often appears in science fiction films, animation and even monster films; Secondly, even if IP has room for development, if the market performance of the film is not good, it will also affect the success or failure of derivatives. "



It can also be seen from the outbreak of The Wandering Earth series that the domestic market is not short of creativity, productivity and purchasing power, but needs stable and high-quality content to escort the derivatives market in the blue ocean. The cycle of film release is doomed to a short-term explosion of a single work, which cannot support the complete sales scene of the whole industry.


After the target of 120,000% is exceeded, our derivatives need more stable "clumsiness" to help improve IP R&D, operation and industrial chain construction. At the moment, we want to borrow the classic lines from The Wandering Earth’s "Same Door" and "Three-body": I lit the fire, but we must find ways to control it!
