  Lishui, November 9 (Reporter Zhou Yulong) In photography education, can science and art be mentioned in the same breath? Faced with this important proposition, experts and scholars at home and abroad have conducted some discussions.

  From 8th to 9th, a seminar on "Photography Education in Dialogue between Science and Art" was held in Lishui, Zhejiang. The guests at the meeting revolved around "Today, when technology and art are deeply integrated, how can photography education develop?" "In the era of popular photography, how can photography education continue to be deeply rooted in people’s hearts?" "What opportunities and challenges does photography education face in the era of artificial intelligence?" And other issues, to preach, teach and solve doubts for photographers around the world.

  "Nowadays, digital images, AI and VR technologies have deepened our addiction to images and created more arbitrary visual effects. It is inevitable that people are worried that imaging technology will completely control our visual experience and then transform our psychology, thinking and society. " Yao Zheng, vice president of Zhejiang Media College, believes that how to reform the film and television education in universities is an unavoidable practical problem.

  For example, in China, almost everyone will be familiar with all kinds of Mito software. Some people even say that any selfie that is sent to a circle of friends without a beauty filter is hooliganism; Nowadays, there are hundreds of millions of people with cameras, who can take photos, transmit photos, spread information and express themselves in public anytime and anywhere … … So, as far as this is concerned, does it need photography literacy education just like writing?

  Su Zhigang, dean of the School of Audiovisual Media of Beijing Film Academy, believes that we should pay attention to the influence of technological evolution and turn challenges into innovative forces in photography education. Return to the original intention of photography education and creation from the perspective of humanism.

  "We should start from people themselves and perceive the world, life, others and even fate from our works. In this way, we can form valuable, visionary and broad life beliefs and externalized photography works driven by some reflexive psychology." Su Zhigang said.

  Professor Yasuya Shirase of kyushu sangyo university thinks so. He said that the purpose of photography education is not only to learn technology, but also to express the joy and cultivate the mind that can feel the subject. "The greatest ability that human beings have is imagination and creation, and it is precisely because human beings have this feeling."

  Liu Yajing, from Qingdao University, believes that the current higher photography education in China is technology-oriented, and gradually emphasizes the importance of creation.

  "However, due to the over-emphasis on the ontological consciousness of photography, the role of photography in the cultural field and its integration with other cultural forms have been neglected." Liu Yajing said that the future photography education should serve the society, not a certain field; It should be based on the idea of creation within the framework of social science, not elaborate technological achievements.

  Ji Weige, Chairman of the Professional Committee of Photography Education of China Higher Education Society, expressed the hope that this meeting could be used as an opportunity to help domestic universities build a sustainable multi-level and diversified international academic exchange and cooperation mechanism for photography education, and to promote our photography education to maintain and upgrade its internationalization and modernization level.

  It is understood that the "International Symposium on Photography Education" will be held as a long-term project and is committed to becoming a high-end academic brand of photography education.

The true reputation of Wuling Binguo owners Advantages and disadvantages of Wuling Binguo

Wuling Binguo, a new model that emerged in March 2023, achieved a remarkable delivery of 15,011 vehicles only one month later, that is, in April. So, what is the charm of this model, which can attract so many consumers in a short time? Next, we will explore the real feedback of Wuling Bingo owners together.

Economical and efficient, low-cost travel

As a pure electric vehicle, the primary advantage of Wuling Binguo lies in the low cost of car use. According to the feedback from the actual owner, the comprehensive power consumption of this model is 10kWh/100km. If it is charged at home, the driving cost per kilometer is only a few cents. In addition, the later maintenance cost of Binguo is relatively low, and the annual insurance cost will not constitute too much burden.

Steady endurance performance

Car owners generally report that Wuling Binguo’s endurance performance in daily urban driving is very stable. Its actual mileage is basically consistent with the mileage shown on the table. Even when driving at a high speed and driving at the highest speed of 106km/h, Bingo’s endurance achievement rate can be maintained in the range of 75%-80%, which is particularly outstanding in similar electric vehicles.

Convenient daily commuting tools

Wuling Binguo has become an ideal choice for novice drivers because of its compact and flexible body design. This small electric car can easily shuttle through crowded city streets or narrow parking spaces. At the same time, despite its positioning as a small car, Bingo’s internal space is enough to meet the daily needs of carrying people and goods, which provides great convenience for commuters.

Security configuration needs to be improved.

However, Wuling Binguo is slightly insufficient in terms of safety configuration. Its low-profile models are only equipped with the main driver airbag, while the high-profile models are equipped with the co-pilot airbag. In terms of active safety, the vehicle is only equipped with ABS anti-lock braking system and EBD braking force distribution system. Compared with competing products at the same level, such as BYD Seagull, its safety configuration is relatively basic.

The ride comfort needs to be improved.

Limited by its price range (598-83800), Wuling Binguo still has much room for improvement in ride comfort. Most car owners said that when the vehicle passed through the bumpy road or speed bump, the cushioning effect of the chassis was not ideal, and the body jumped obviously, which led passengers to directly feel the vibration and bumps. In addition, the sound insulation effect of vehicles also needs to be strengthened.

The level of intelligence is quite satisfactory

In terms of intelligence, Wuling Binguo’s performance is slightly mediocre. Except that the top model is equipped with the central control panel, the interior design of other versions is relatively simple. Even the car-engine system of the top model needs to be improved in response speed and fluency, and there are relatively few third-party applications supported. Compared with T03 and BYD Seagull at the same level, the gap in intelligence is obvious.

五菱缤果

To sum up, Wuling Binguo has won the favor of consumers with its low car cost, stable endurance performance and convenient commuting function. However, the safety configuration, ride comfort and intelligence level need to be improved. For consumers whose main demand is commuting in urban areas, these shortcomings of Wuling Binguo may be acceptable, while its outstanding advantages are enough to meet their daily needs.

The "618" fever has spread all over the world, what kind of foreign trade recovery signal has been transmitted?

Beijing, June 8 (Reporter Feng Shuo from Voice of China) In the Internet age, you can buy and sell the world without leaving home. A new service format-cross-border e-commerce is extended between this "buy one and sell one". Recently, when the domestic "618" was launched on various e-commerce platforms, overseas summer promotion was about to start. China’s foreign trade merchants have also seized this opportunity, and a large number of high-quality goods from China are going abroad and being sold overseas. "Made in China" is exported overseas. What kind of foreign trade recovery signal does it convey?

Global sales of "Made in China" are booming.

As the weather gets hotter, swimwear has also become a global best-selling commodity. In the industrial park in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, Wei Liuyan, the director of operation of a clothing enterprise, is paying attention to the production of her own swimsuit. She told reporters that the factory kept the output of about 1,000 sets every day during this period.

Wei Liuyan said: "Our swimsuits are mainly sold overseas, such as Spain, the United States, Russia and other countries. This year, because we have enough goods and advertisements, I am still very confident. I expect it to be 300,000-500,000 (overseas sales) this year, which is expected to increase twice as much as last year. Because last year may indeed be greatly affected by the epidemic, customers in some countries will come to us and say that they are relatively depressed, and the purchase rate is not as high as in previous years, but this year they have returned a lot of orders. "

In the past month, summer commodities such as sunscreens, cool mats, sunscreens and other heatstroke prevention "three-piece sets" and swimsuits and swimming caps have left the country from Alashankou Port via Hungary, Poland, Germany and France and arrived in Spain. Wei Liuyan said: "The speed of overseas warehousing is actually quite fast. Customers can receive the goods in 2-3 days, and the effect is still very good. If it is prepared in the official platform warehouse, the average time is about 5-7 days, and the speed is quite fast. "

Similarly, since the beginning of this year, a cross-border electronic commerce industrial park in Anhui Province has been extremely busy, and the orders of cross-border business enterprises in the park are full. Lv Juanjuan, director of the operation and management department of a cross-border electronic commerce Limited Company in Hefei, said: "Focusing on the development of cross-border e-commerce, we are constantly making efforts in industrial policies, connecting enterprises and creating a business environment to make up for shortcomings. At present, we have reached cooperation mechanisms such as cross-border e-commerce charter flights, cross-border e-commerce+China-Europe trains, and cross-border e-commerce sea-rail combined transport. "

What accelerated the arrival of goods in China?

In recent years, China’s goods are of high quality and low price, which are very popular among overseas consumers. On the occasion of overseas summer sales promotion, various cross-border e-commerce platforms are also gearing up this year, making full use of logistics modes such as land, sea, air and rail to bring overseas consumers a receiving experience of "5 dollars for 10 days" and "local delivery for the next day", helping small and medium-sized foreign trade merchants and cross-border enterprises to start a "blood-returning war". Yang Junjun, the head of the rookie international supply chain freight solution, said: "Cross-border parcels have changed from waiting for the collection of goods in the mainland to taking the Central European train, to the on-call mode from Alashankou, Xinjiang, to help logistics timeliness. For goods stocked through all Spanish overseas warehouses, the outbound order will be combined with local self-operated terminal delivery in the future, which can reach the next day at the earliest, and the overall timeliness of customer orders will be accelerated by at least 10 days. "

Hong Yong, an associate researcher at the Institute of E-commerce of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, analyzed that compared with air transportation, China-Europe trains are more cost-effective and stable, and can transport more types and categories of goods, which is the preferred logistics method for merchants to stock up during the promotion period.

Hong Yong said: "China-Europe trains usually run as a whole train of goods, which can accommodate a large number of goods and realize batch transportation. In contrast, air transportation is usually carried out by flight, which is relatively expensive for a small amount of goods. The transportation cost can be reduced by batch transportation of trains in Central Europe. Compared with air transportation, the transportation cost of China-Europe trains is usually lower. Although the transportation time of China-Europe trains is relatively long, the cost is lower, which can attract some price-sensitive goods and businesses to choose China-Europe trains. "

What kind of development opportunities does China’s cross-border e-commerce face this year?

Nowadays, cross-border e-commerce, as a new mode of foreign trade, is the effective force for the high-quality development of foreign trade, through e-commerce platform to reach transactions, make payment and settlement, and then deliver goods and complete transactions through cross-border logistics. During the "618" promotion period, the "going to sea" channel opened by the China-Europe train allowed more "Made in China" to enter the homes of ordinary people in Central Asia on the China-Europe train, sending a signal of warmer foreign trade.

Hong Yong told reporters that this year, China’s cross-border e-commerce is expected to usher in more opportunities and achieve further results. Foreign trade recovery, policy support and technological innovation will provide strong support for the development of the industry.

Hong Yong said: "First, foreign trade is picking up, the global economy is gradually recovering, and international trade is expected to pick up. As a form of cross-border trade, cross-border e-commerce will usher in more opportunities with the help of the recovery of foreign trade, the demand for export commodities is expected to increase, and the choice of imported commodities will be more diversified. Second, policy support continued to increase. The China Municipal Government has been committed to promoting the development of cross-border e-commerce and will continue to increase policy support. The government may introduce more tax reduction and fee reduction policies, further optimize the customs clearance process, and strengthen measures such as intellectual property protection to provide a better development environment and policy support for cross-border e-commerce. Third, technological innovation promotes development. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the application of technologies including artificial intelligence and big data analysis in cross-border e-commerce will further promote the development of the industry. Through technological innovation, cross-border e-commerce can improve the efficiency of supply chain, improve the ability of personalized recommendation and risk management, provide consumers with a better shopping experience, and then promote the development of the industry. "

This model of cross-border e-commerce directly connects manufacturers with foreign consumers, which changes the time and space structure. Enterprises can operate globally in different regions and make traditional trade online. At the same time, small and medium-sized enterprises can participate in global trade on the same footing as large enterprises and sell their products all over the world. Hong Yong said: "The increase in demand may prompt more enterprises and consumers to choose cross-border e-commerce platforms for international trade activities. With the continuous progress and application of science and technology, the cross-border e-commerce industry is constantly innovating, and the capabilities of supply chain efficiency, personalized recommendation and risk management and control are improved through technical means to further enhance user experience and satisfaction. In addition, cross-border e-commerce companies are also actively expanding overseas markets and seeking more cooperation opportunities and market share. The potential demand in emerging markets and Central Asia may become the development focus of cross-border e-commerce companies. "
