  The famous Italian architect Ernesto Rogers said: As small as a spoon, as large as a city, it should be designed. This classic quote was taken as a standard by later designers. For a lifestyle like you, is this not a life concept worth pursuing? Like designers, a passionate lifestyle is good at exploring the subtle relationship between people and everyday objects, knowing how to find inspiration in the details of life, and knowing how to understand the essence of life from perfect design.

  Now, let’s feel the charm of design from every home detail. This issue of "magazine" has carefully selected a series of original home designs for you, where you can encounter the inspiration of masters, experience the joy of life everywhere – and more importantly, you can find your own way of life in them.

  One chair comes first

  Finnish furniture designer Ilmari Tapiovaara once said that chair design is the beginning of interior design. Almost every trend of design art is started by it. It can be said that choosing a new chair is choosing a new way of life, which brings not only novelty, but also the pleasure of participating in life and grasping life.

  flash of inspiration

  When you get home, the first thing you do is turn on the light. In the darkness, the light shines, and the familiar world suddenly develops. At that moment, the meaning of the light is greater than anything else. Perhaps because of this, the lighting design has a finishing touch on the entire living space, lighting it up, and also lighting up the inspiration of life.

  sofa complex

  In the newly renovated room, the sofa’s status is obviously overwhelming, not only because of the size that makes it stand out, but also because of its close relationship with life. As a synonym for "comfort", the sofa has enough charm to make people feel reluctant to leave, and the meaning of the sofa is that it can be connected to any content of life. It can be said that most sofa designs revolve around the shape that makes people fascinated and the maximum comfort, in order to make you fall into it.

  on the wall

  As the backdrop of the home environment, the wall has left a huge space for the design, and the hand-painted wallpaper is the best protagonist of this space. With the spread and development of wallpaper technology for hundreds of years, its texture has gradually evolved from the earliest paper to more sophisticated silk cloth, or even silk; the old hand-painted craftsmanship has still been passed down to this day; and the patterns on it blend the most classic artistic temperament of centuries, and sometimes add some harmonious fashion elements. Hand-painted wallpaper, because of these elements, can always exude an elegant and restrained charm.

  Creative Puzzle

  From the walls of the earliest Sumerian shrines, to the houses and temples of ancient Rome, to the masterpieces of the genius architect Antoni Gaudi at the end of the 19th century, mosaics have shown their charm in every cultural cycle. Today, "neo-mosaicism" has quietly revived and permeated the subtleties of all aspects of life, and collage has endless possibilities for life. You can use your inspiration for life and your hands to pick through colorful pieces, and play a jigsaw game at will. Dress the bathtub in Burberry plaid, stick the floor in a leopard print pattern, and even the flush toilet can become an unparalleled work of art. In addition to the traditional mosaic bathroom space, artistic inspiration can also be played on small things such as photo frames, cups, bookshelves, vases, etc. – colors, patterns, creativity, everything is under your control… No wonder, in the residences of royal celebrities from all over the world, there are always exquisite hand-painted wallpapers accompanying them.

  Private Garden

  The bathroom space is the most important private garden in the living space. Because here is not only a place to cleanse the body and refresh yourself, but also a paradise to relieve stress and cleanse the mind. Therefore, bathroom products not only boldly expand their territory in the room, but also satisfy people’s all-round enjoyment.

  desktop aesthetics

  Compared with furniture in the general sense, the design of various household gadgets may better reflect the balance of practicality and aesthetics. It is like a fun game of creativity and life. The more a person cares about these inconspicuous gadgets, the more he can see his intention for life.

Counting the sci-fi milestones of Japanese animation

  With the release of the film version of ghost in the shell, its theatrical animation prototype, which is a classic of science fiction, has once again entered the public’s field of vision. It has been found that Japan’s "second element" is not only a commercial and entertainment industry full of exquisite pictures and bloody stories, but also a large number of excellent works that have reached a high level in artistry and ideology.

  Below, let’s take a look at these sci-fi milestones in Japanese animation.

  Worship of machinery: the "ingenious" interpretation of huge machinery

  Due to the experience of rapid westernization in modern times, Japanese culture has an inexplicable love for huge industrial machinery. This emotion has evolved into a persistent interpretation of giant weapons in animation after being strengthened by the thinking of "weapons only" and "decisive weapons" during World War II.

  The beginning of mechanical worship is nothing more than the Cosmic Warship Yamato, which was broadcast in 1974. In this film, the super battleship "Yamato" of the old Japanese navy set sail again as a space warship, and single-handedly entered the base camp of the interstellar invaders, completing the grand task of saving the earth. The main gun of the Yamato completely hit the hearts of the Japanese audience in the Showa era and achieved great success. The concept of "Yamato" even influenced many later works. The main gun of the human space battleship in the famous game StarCraft was called "Yamato Gun".

  In 1979, a sci-fi film "Mobile Suit Gundam 0079", which reflected the "war of independence" between the space colonial satellite and the earth, appeared on the screen. This time, the huge machinery has become more anthropomorphic, and steel giants such as "Gundam" and "Zagu" have simply become the physical extension of the driver’s will. "Gundam" has since become a long-lasting industrial brand, and today, it continues to introduce new works to adapt to the new era. Compared with Yamato, which triumphed all the way, Gundam’s depiction of the war is more real and profound, depicting the great damage caused by the war to the lives of the people on both sides of the war, instead of blindly rendering "justice".

  At the same time, some animators began to reflect on this "mechanical worship", so the work "Mobile Police" appeared. Although the film takes the "special car two lessons" of driving police robots as the leading group, the film no longer highlights the giant humanoid machinery, but focuses on depicting the ups and downs of these "grassroots policemen" in their daily lives. This "naysayer" deconstruction, relying on the story of "grounding gas", also won the love of a large number of viewers.

  Although this mechanical worship of Japanese animation has a slightly paranoid thinking foundation, it is also thanks to this "ingenuity" that Japanese animators have designed a large number of beautiful and exquisite sci-fi mechanical settings. Even Avatar, the top American blockbuster, is full of "Japanese-style" precision beauty in mechanical settings.

  Armageddon: cruel aesthetics under the consciousness of hardship

  As well as "ingenuity" deeply rooted in Japanese culture, there is also their sense of hardship, which can be seen in film and television works with the theme of "destruction" such as The Sinking of Japan and Godzilla. In animation, the first screen show of Miyazaki Hayao, a Japanese animation master, is an epic depicting the struggle and coexistence between the remaining human beings and nature after the destruction of civilization — — Valley of the Wind. Nausicaa, the heroine in the film, bravely leads her people to survive tenaciously on the destroyed land. Wearing a blue dress and flying in the sky with white wings, she became a memory of a generation in Japan.

  After entering the 1990s, with the collapse of the economic bubble, Japanese society fell into an unprecedented depression. At the end of the century, TV animation with strong religious elements to render the end of the world — — The Gospel Warrior in the New Century caused a sensation in the whole Japanese society. The boys and girls in the film are driving biological robots from human beings and fighting desperately with the "apostles" who intend to destroy human beings. The film uses a large number of shocking lens language with psychological implications, which successfully synchronizes the complex inner world of teenagers with the devastated external world and presents a cruel aesthetic feast for the audience. The heroine Ayanami Rei, who has almost no self-personality, has become a new generation of animation goddess after Nausicaa. Compared with his heroic predecessors, Ayanami Rei’s gloomy temperament clearly reflects the changes of social times.

  After entering the new century, with the haze of the cold war and economic crisis gradually dissipating, the conflict of social thoughts has become a new contradiction. The theater animation Harmony released in recent years is such a work. The highly developed future of science and technology in the film, under the seemingly beautiful and harmonious appearance, is a gentle strangulation of human nature, which has to be said to be a wake-up call for Japanese culture. At the end of the film, human beings completely give up self-awareness, and the whole society is integrated into a whole that "does not distinguish between you and me". Although this kind of destruction has no "big scene" of landslides, it has more realistic symbolic significance and deserves reflection from all people in modern society.

  Dolls and people: a grim prospect of artificial intelligence

  With the revolution of electronic technology, the interpretation of artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction and other technologies has become a new theme of Japanese animation. Osamu Tezuka, the founder of Japanese animation, is most famous for Astro Boy, which tells the story of intelligent robots seeking themselves. Then another classic with great international influence — — Robot Cat is also based on an intelligent robot from the future — — Doraemon is centered on it.

  However, when it really touches the core of these technical issues, the style of Japanese animation has become more and more cold. The comic classic "gunnm", which describes the semi-mechanical girl Gary’s self-pursuit in the battle, has been bought by the famous director Cameron and is making a film. The animated film Yukikaze, which tells the coexistence of human pilots and artificial intelligence fighters, completely abandons the "anthropomorphic" artificial intelligence that is often depicted in most artificial intelligence science fiction works. As the soul of a high-performance tactical reconnaissance plane, the artificial intelligence "Yukikaze" in the film is endowed with an out-and-out "inhuman" attribute by the author. She has neither worldly desires nor love/hate, but she has a completely different thinking ability from human beings. In the critical air battle, she has repeatedly made decisions and behaviors that are completely beyond human beings. Looking back at this forward-looking animation now, we will find that the agent most similar to Yukikaze is the artificial intelligence AlphaGo that is sweeping the world of Go.

  Another classic that has to be said is the sci-fi animation classic — — Ghost in the shell. This work has five versions: comic book, theater animation, two TV animations and live-action movies, but it basically tells the story of "Nine Public Security Courses" led by Grass seed, a fully mechanized reformer, to crack down on high-tech crimes. Among them, two theater animations directed by Mamoru Oshii, an animation master who is equally famous with Miyazaki Hayao, are the most classic. The film deeply discusses the alienation and evolution of human nature in a high-tech society with an increasingly high degree of integration between human beings and machines through long and even empty shots, supplemented by a large number of symbolic pictures. The film is permeated with a kind of transcendental "super-humanism" atmosphere. As the protagonist, Suzi even completely abandoned the concrete body in the film and gained freedom and rebirth in the torrent of information network. At this point, it is an understandable regret that the live-action movie version failed to fully carry out these discussions in order to take into account the audience and rhythm of commercial movies. The TV animated version, at the beginning of the century, foresighted the social problems we are facing now, such as the spread of network memes and refugee crisis, which is also a rare classic.

  After decades of development and accumulation, Japanese animation is full of a large number of commercial works with bright appearance but lack of connotation, but it also produces a large number of outstanding works with profound humanistic and artistic feelings, including many sci-fi masterpieces. These excellent sci-fi animations have artistically imagined and interpreted the development of science and technology through the unparalleled picture expression of animation, which deeply reflects the ideological trend of their times and has far-reaching influence. Limited by space, there are still many excellent Japanese sci-fi animations that cannot be introduced one by one, but the unique charm of Japanese sci-fi animation can still be seen through these classic works.

Should dumplings be sweet or salty? Don’t argue, the answer is here!

[It is said that eating glutinous rice balls is the end of the year, and the sweet and salty parties of glutinous rice balls in the south and north are about to arrive at the "battlefield"! Do you like sweet or salty dumplings? 】
Today is the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, and it is also the first holiday after the New Year. On this day, people enjoy lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns, and at least eat Yuanxiao or Tangyuan.
Sweet or salty?
Seeing that everyone is immersed in the joy of the festival, it is peaceful, but the network is already boiling. The opening drama "Is the glutinous rice balls sweet or salty?" The sweet and salty party has begun to quarrel.
Salted dumplings and sweet dumplings
Generally speaking, Yuanxiao/Tangyuan in the north are mostly sweet fillings, including white sugar, bean paste, sesame and hawthorn, while those in the south are sweet, salty, meaty and vegetarian. So when it comes to salty Yuanxiao/Tangyuan, many people will think that it is unique to the south.
Sweet party:
Echowusmiles: What? Tangyuan and salty? Are you sure it’s not wrapped fish balls?Xixi: Is there a difference between sweet and salty dumplings? I have eaten for more than 20 years and have never heard of glutinous rice balls and salty ones.Mr__Pen9uin: Salted dumplings … I’d rather eat Lainiao Niuwan.Wang Ziyu _Prince: When I first ate it, I really felt like a dark cook.Dong Ge Fei Dong Ge: Northerners say they have never seen salty dumplings. You southerners really know how to play.
Salty party:
Yumo tutu: Salted dumplings are normal. My hometown often makes green vegetable buns in winter, which are also salty.Silly child: Those who have no meat and are unhappy should eat meat when they eat glutinous rice balls.You Xing _: Love salty dumplings! The kind wrapped in diced pickles, bamboo shoots and tofu minced meat.Small PP invincible forward: glutinous rice balls stuffed with shredded radish, delicious, you can try it when you have a chance.The spirit comes like a cloud _: There are always salty dumplings at home, without stuffing. When cooking, put chicken, radish, sausage, salted vegetables, fish paste, onion and coriander, and sprinkle some pepper when eating.Wen sihou: Chongqing people, grandma likes to wrap salty dumplings with diced bacon and tofu, as well as salted vegetables and minced meat.
Salted dumplings baked by netizens from Weibo.
"Black Sesame" is the most popular taste.
When everyone is still struggling to eat sweet or salty, in fact, the taste of glutinous rice balls is beyond your imagination.
In the past, the taste of glutinous rice balls was relatively simple, mostly traditional flavors such as bean paste, peanuts, black sesame seeds, five kernels and fresh meat. With the constant change of people’s tastes, there are various tastes of glutinous rice balls in the market, such as red dates, durian, oranges, coconut milk, strawberries, mangoes, durian, blueberries and other fruit-flavored glutinous rice balls are popular in the market, and there are even new scented teas such as osmanthus, roses, lilies, chrysanthemums and jasmine flowers, which firmly grasp everyone’s psychology of early adopters.
According to big data from JD.COM, the sales amount of Yuanxiao/Tangyuan increased by more than 110% in the first half of the Lantern Festival this year. On February 26th, JD.COM Yuanxiao/Tangyuan Super Single Product Day, nearly 180 tons of Tangyuan were sold, 20 times as much as last year’s Lantern Festival.
In terms of regions, the top ten regions in terms of sales amount are Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Sichuan, Tianjin, Shandong, Zhejiang and Hebei.
There are so many choices of flavors, which flavor is the most popular? The data shows that the black sesame stuffing on the eve of the Lantern Festival can be called "popularity", and the sales volume is the first. Followed by mixed flavors, peanut stuffing, fresh meat stuffing and bean paste stuffing. Among them, bean paste stuffing is also a proper "potential stock". In terms of sales amount, the sales of black sesame and bean paste stuffing both increased by more than 140% month-on-month.
The preferences of people of different sexes and ages can also be seen in the choice of the taste of glutinous rice balls/Yuanxiao. In the choice of many flavors, women prefer mixed flavors, fruit stuffing and peanut stuffing, and male users choose fresh meat stuffing, bean paste stuffing and black sesame stuffing.
From the age point of view, mixed flavor, fruit stuffing and peanut stuffing are the relatively preferred stuffing flavors of post-80s, while post-90s prefer fruit stuffing, mixed flavor and fresh meat stuffing, while bean paste stuffing, black sesame stuffing and peanut stuffing are deeply favored by post-70s, and traditional flavors such as bean paste stuffing, fresh meat stuffing and black sesame stuffing are still the favorites of post-60s.
Although many consumers are used to eating finished dumplings online, this year’s data also shows that netizens’ enthusiasm for making dumplings is not low. Even users in Beishangguang, who have a fast pace of life, are still willing to sit down and make dumplings/Yuanxiao before the Lantern Festival.
Yuanxiao = Tangyuan?
Seeing this, many people will have questions. We always discuss Yuanxiao and Tangyuan together. Are Yuanxiao and Tangyuan the same?
In fact, the two are not the same. The main difference between them is in technology. Generally, dumplings are eaten in the south and Yuanxiao is eaten in the north. Yuanxiao is "rolled" and the dumplings are "wrapped".
The stuffing of Yuanxiao should be made into four squares with uniform size in advance, and then wrapped with flour and rolled back and forth on the laundry basket. "Dip in water for three times and roll for three times before forming." Making glutinous rice balls is just like wrapping jiaozi. Just add water to glutinous rice flour and make it into balls. After "waking up", pinch a small ball and squeeze it into a round shape. Then put the stuffing in and knead it to shape.
Generally speaking, Yuanxiao in the north is handmade, which is more chewy and sold in street stalls. Tangyuan can be mechanically operated. Because of its convenient storage and delicate and soft taste, it is spread all over shopping malls and supermarkets. Because of the fast pace of life of modern people, the tastes of Yuanxiao and Tangyuan are similar, and people gradually confuse them.
I don’t know when, the market of Yuanxiao has gradually become smaller, and dumplings have long been "unified", so that in the eyes of young people, Yuanxiao has always been dumplings.
However, whether you mean to eat Yuanxiao or Tangyuan today, I guess someone will definitely answer: Northerners eat jiaozi no matter what festivals they have!
So, northerners, do you want to eat jiaozi or glutinous rice balls/Yuanxiao today?

Close-up: A special reunion dinner

  Xinhuanet Wuhan, February 6 (Reporter Wan Houde, Xiong Jinchao) On February 6, the Lunar New Year’s Eve, Wang Xungao, who lives in Donghu Street Village, Wulijie Sub-district Office, Jiangxia District, Wuhan, began to set up their own reunion dinner. Different from the past, this year’s reunion dinner, the family is eating in the office of the village Committee.


  A rare snowstorm for many years turned the original adobe house of Lao Wang’s family into a dangerous house, and the village Committee office became the "new home" for the family to reunite this year.


  Although not at home, Lao Wang’s family didn’t lack anything for the New Year. The government sent solatium from 500 yuan before the New Year. Considering the practical difficulties of his family’s relocation and resettlement, the government also sent cotton-padded quilts and other daily necessities, together with the unified distribution of fish, meat, rice, noodles, oil and other daily necessities, all of which made Lao Wang’s family feel warm and practical.


  When the reporter came to his temporary home, he saw that Lao Wang’s family were busy, preparing the most abundant dinner of the year, and they were happy. "I have never seen such heavy snow or such a cold winter, but my heart is particularly warm." Wang Xungao, who is in his fifties, said, "Thanks to the government, the village committee and the governments at all levels for their care." What moved Lao Wang’s family even more was that it was New Year’s Eve, and the civil affairs cadres were still worried about his family’s life, so they made a special trip to see what difficulties he still had.


  Although the Chinese New Year’s Eve has been listed as a national statutory holiday, there are still hundreds of civil affairs cadres in Wuhan who give up the opportunity to reunite with their families and go deep into the homes of needy families to visit and sympathize with the affected farmers to see if they are short of materials for the holiday and have any unresolved difficulties.


  Wang Xungao’s family is just one of thousands of families affected by snow in Wuhan. Ma Lixi, director of the Disaster Relief Department of Wuhan Civil Affairs Bureau, said that this year, Wuhan suffered a rare rain, snow and freezing disaster, and there were more than 1,800 households with housing difficulties and more than 3,500 people in the city due to the disaster.


  In order to make every citizen have a happy and festive New Year, Wuhan has adopted the method of decentralized transfer and resettlement. Some have mobilized them to visit relatives and friends, and some have used welfare homes and government offices to centrally resettle the victims. For the relocated victims, the Wuhan Municipal Government has decided to give them a living allowance of 20 days according to the standard of 20 yuan per person per day, and a maintenance allowance of 3,000 yuan per collapsed and damaged 576 houses of 282 families according to the standard of 1000 yuan, so as to ensure that the victims can live a happy and peaceful Spring Festival.


  With the setting off of 50,000 firecrackers, the large village committee office was full of festive atmosphere. The Lao Wang family sat around the table, and a family of three had a reunion dinner with more than ten dishes.


  This New Year’s Eve dinner, though somewhat different, is exceptionally warm and peaceful.
