In recent years, the influence of domestic brands in major consumer fields has increased day by day, and the national tide cultural and creative industry has become a dark horse that has emerged in the tide of cultural industry development.

The "National Tide Research Report" released by the Institute of Creative Development of Tsinghua University mentions that "National Tide" is the sum of "country" and "tide". It refers to the revival of Chinese culture and brings the excellent traditional culture of all ethnic groups in China into the field of vision. Professor Hu Yu of the Institute of Culture and Creativity of Tsinghua University pointed out: "The 'national tide' is not only the tide of domestic goods, but also the tide of national strength, but also the tide of national fortune. There are three very important elements in the 'national tide' to support it, one is national culture, one is a domestic brand, and the most important thing is youth strength. ”
