February 4, Spring, is also the opening time of the winter ice and snow event.
The opening ceremony was so moving and shocking that it was like a window showing: "Chinese culture", "Chinese technology", and more strong "Chinese self-confidence".
Chinese science and technology brilliantly interpret Chinese culture
The opening ceremony of this ice and snow event has become a showcase for Chinese culture.
As director Zhang Yimou said, "This time is not like 2008, there is a special section to show Chinese culture, because to be 'simple', without this opportunity, it is necessary to dissolve the information of Chinese culture to all aspects." ”
Thus, we see:
In the opening chapter, the twenty-four solar terms incarnate as a "countdown timer", starting from "rain" to the end of "Lichun", one after another vibrant Chinese pictures jump into view, "from the first second, there is the definition of Chinese culture", Chinese view of time and cosmology to the world, life and death, the unity of nature and man.
After the ceremony of raising the national flag and playing the national anthem, a drop of Chinese ink smudged open, and the water of the Yellow River rolled in. "The water of the Yellow River rises from the sky and flows to the sea and never returns", the churning waves eventually condensed into a crystal clear ice and snow world, which seemed to freeze time.
The children in the mountains of the concert song, the "tiger head" pattern on their costumes, reminiscent of the tiger head hat worn by the children Chinese; the "Chinese Gate" and "Chinese Window" carved by the athletes in ice and snow, all based on the classic traditional door and window patterns from all over China; the folk paper-cut pattern of Wei County, Hebei Province, on the costume of the entrance pacesetter, highlighting the festive and auspicious Chinese new year...
Chinese culture is in full swing, reflecting China's heritage and Chinese romance.
It is worth noting that Chinese culture has become more beautiful and shocking because of the blessing of Chinese science and technology! What is particularly impressive is the huge "glowing stage", the world's largest 8K ultra-high-definition terrestrial display system with an area of 10,393 square meters from BOE, which has become the best carrier for interpreting Chinese culture.
Chinese technology means "shocking": 100000:1 ultra-high contrast, 3840Hz ultra-high refresh rate, 29900x15096 ultra-high resolution, high brightness, high color gamut, high contrast brilliant colors with ultra-high synchronization of the smooth picture, creating a shocking visual effect.
Chinese technology means "quality": it can withstand the extreme low temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius, can bear a load of up to 0.5T/square meter, and can withstand more than 5,000 times of high-intensity trampling, so the high quality comes from the multiple protective mechanisms of BOE's soft and hard fusion.
Chinese science and technology come from the hard work of Chinese technology enterprises. It is understood that in order to ensure this huge project, the BOE project team drew more than 3,000 drawings, the 18,000 display modules installed on the site were continuously installed 70 times, and more than 100,000 meters of cables, 72,000 joints, and nearly 80,000 meters of structure were used on the spot.
"We discussed this technology at the opening ceremony in 2008, but it wasn't possible at the time, and it can be done now." Zhang Yimou said this sentence in the interview, reflecting the rise of Chinese science and technology.
Chinese science and technology and Chinese culture, like a pair of Gemini, support each other, interpret the mutual integration of science and technology and culture, and tell a wonderful Chinese story.
Here, feel the "Chinese self-confidence"
"2008 is eager to show all the bottom of the home for everyone to see; 2022 is extremely confident and thick, unparalleled romance and aesthetics, containing invisible technology and power, cohesion and centripetal force of all people." "Jiang Ning's mother-in-law" said this on Weibo.
Yes, compared with these two opening ceremonies, you can really feel the difference, and the key difference is that in this opening ceremony, you can strongly feel the "Chinese self-confidence".
Especially the ignition ceremony, when the huge snowflake rises, few people will think of it, that is, the main torch platform. This "big snowflake" has the names of more than 90 participating countries, "one snowflake in each country, each snowflake gathers in Beijing, and finally becomes the most brilliant snowflake, becoming the most unique torch of the Olympic Games." Zhang Yimou described his creativity this way.
This idea is truly unique, just in response to Li Bai's saying that "The snowflakes of Yanshan Mountain are as big as a seat", which uses the most visual way to tell the world the common concept of mankind.
Behind this "Chinese self-confidence", there is also the power of "Chinese science and technology".
BOE independently designed and realized the hardware and software of this snowflake-shaped main torch stand, and also set a record for many industries: more than 550,000 LED lamp beads, each lamp bead is independently controlled by a single channel driving the chip; the width of the 4.8mm hollow snowflake's light-emitting surface is currently the narrowest single-pixel controllable LED display product in the industry.
This kind of "Chinese self-confidence" is a good demonstration of the concept of low carbon and environmental protection. As Zhang Yimou said, the last torch no longer needs to be ordered, put on the torch platform, it is the main torch. In order to achieve low carbon and environmental protection, BOE's LED display uses a high flame retardant, low temperature resistant lightweight translucent material, and the double-sided hollow ultra-light design also makes the torch display system dream of "looking light and strong to use" come true. In addition, the combustion technology of aerospace hydrogen-oxygen engine is also indispensable in achieving the goal of low carbon and environmental protection.
Therefore, technology has made the Chinese story more hardcore, and it has also made China's self-confident interpretation more perfect.
Postscript: The best demonstration of the "Internet of Things" strategy
In the brilliant presentation of Chinese technology to help ice and snow events, "BOE" is a recurring name. BOE, the global leader in the field of semiconductor display, has embarked on a world-class semiconductor display road of independent innovation from 0 to 1. However, its road to innovation never stops, under the strategy of "screen Internet of Things", BOE is based on display, deeply cultivates the Internet of Things, and accelerates the transformation from the global semiconductor display leader to the global Internet of Things leader.
The author believes that the opening ceremony of this ice and snow event can be called the most perfect, direct and extensive display place of BOE's "Internet of Things on screen" strategy.
"Perfect" is at such a time of national attention and excitement, the perfect combination of BOE's innovative technology and specific scenes provides the best carrier for Chinese culture and Chinese stories, whether it is a beautiful and stunning ignition ceremony or a stage with actors' performances. As the German media said, "the imagination and creativity contained in the dance of science and technology are perfect."
"Direct" is a visual feast that has never been so cool and shocking, presenting the most innovative Chinese technology in front of the world's eyes. Different from the boring technical expression, such an artistic form of expression can be understood by everyone, and the seconds directly hit people's hearts, fully demonstrating the transformation direction of BOE: when the screen integrates more functions and places more scenes, the boundaries of the innovative application of the Internet of Things will be broken, the value will be reshaped, and the power of science and technology will bring a better life.
"Extensive", is in this ice and snow event, BOE's "screen of things" strategy is almost everywhere, in addition to the above-mentioned main torch platform, the world's largest 8K ultra-high-definition ground display system, from boe's 8K ultra-high-definition display screen the entire event can be seen everywhere. Among them, the volunteer's digital badge has also become a beautiful scenery, BOE's digital badge can achieve black, white, red three-color display, breaking the previous electronic screen black and white dull, and its embedded BOE self-developed artificial intelligence algorithm, can achieve massive rapid refresh, the software's intelligent filter algorithm, portrait keying algorithm, mobile phone NFC and other rich functions are more so that volunteers can bring more intelligent event services for athletes.
"If the intelligent scenes released by the intelligent technology revolution and the Internet of Things ecology are like the science and technology waterfall that pours down the tide, then BOE must be the vast lake that undertakes the waterfall, and the former's Dao Dao vein is contained, converged, integrated, and transformed." Chen Yanshun, chairman of BOE Technology Group, once made such a metaphor. For this ice and snow event, Chen Yanshun said, "The scientific and technological beauty, high-definition screen, 3D presentation, and system guarantee embodied in the opening ceremony all reflect the combination of screen and beauty, and also show the wide prospect of the application of screen IoT!" This opening ceremony is the most perfect, most direct and most extensive display of the Internet of Things strategy for our screen. ”
Yes, the opening ceremony of this winter ice and snow event shows a more prosperous, strong and confident China, all of which depends on the efforts and struggles of every Chinese, and is also inseparable from the innovation and exploration of china's science and technology community represented by BOE, when innovative technology penetrates into every specific scene, more shocks and greater surprises are destined to continue to be staged.
