In today’s digital era, electronic invoices have become a common form of bills in economic activities. It is very important for individuals and enterprises to master the relevant knowledge of electronic invoices.
To master the relevant knowledge of electronic invoices, you can first obtain information through official channels. The official website of the tax department is an important source of information, which will contain detailed contents such as policy interpretation, issuance process, reimbursement regulations and so on. In addition, you can also pay attention to the official WeChat official account of the tax department and get the latest policy trends and operational guidelines in time. At the same time, corporate financial personnel can also participate in training courses organized by tax authorities to systematically learn the relevant knowledge of electronic invoices.
For individuals, when they come into contact with electronic invoices in their daily lives, they can consult the merchants about relevant issues, and know how to issue electronic invoices and how to obtain them. You can also search related knowledge articles and videos through the Internet to learn more about the use of electronic invoices and matters needing attention.
Electronic invoice has its unique format and characteristics. From the format, the common electronic invoice formats are PDF, OFD and so on. PDF format is a common one, it has good compatibility, and most devices and software can be opened for viewing. OFD format is a format of layout document independently developed by China, which has the advantages of high security and strong traceability.
The characteristics of electronic invoices are very remarkable. First, it is convenient to issue. Compared with traditional paper invoices, electronic invoices can be generated quickly through the system without filling in a lot of information manually, which greatly improves the billing efficiency. Second, it is convenient to store. Electronic invoices exist in the form of electronic data, which can be stored in computers, mobile phones and other devices without fear of loss or damage. Third, environmental protection and energy saving. Electronic invoice reduces the use of paper and conforms to the concept of green development. Fourth, the inspection is easy. Consumers and enterprises can quickly and accurately check the authenticity of electronic invoices through the official inspection platform of the tax department.
The following is a comparison table between electronic invoices and traditional paper invoices:

Google’s strongest AI model, which has attracted much attention and is considered by the industry to be the most likely to beat GPT-4, has finally appeared!
On December 6th, US Western Time, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and DeepMind Director Demis Hassabis jointly announced the official launch of Gemini 1.0 in official website.
Gemini is jointly created by several Alphabet teams such as Google Research and DeepMind. As a new powerful multi-modal artificial intelligence model, it can induce, understand, operate and combine different types of information. It can not only process text, images, video and audio, but also complete complex tasks in mathematics, physics and other scientific fields, and can understand and generate high-quality codes in various programming languages.
Pichai described Gemini as "our largest and most powerful AI model to date" and said that it has shown the most advanced performance in many leading benchmarks. "The first generation of Gemini 1.0 was optimized for different sizes, namely: Ultra, Pro and Nano. These are the first models to enter the Gemini era and the first realization of our vision when we established Google DeepMind earlier this year. "
At the Google I/O conference in May this year, Pichai spoiled the news that Google was developing Gemini. It is described as the "Next Generation Multi-modal Intelligent Network", which is designed for API integration. It is said that it has trillions of parameters like GPT-4, but its computing power is five times that of GPT-4, and it can perform more complex and diverse tasks.
To this end, Google also merged its two strongest artificial intelligence laboratories: Google Brain and DeepMind, led by Demis Hassabis, the former CEO of DeepMind, and invested hundreds of millions of dollars in research and development of Gemini.
Even sergey brin, the co-founder of Google, who has resigned for four years, has returned to the office of Mountain View in Silicon Valley to participate in the Gemini decision-making and join the LLM scuffle.
But just last week, The Information quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Pichai recently silently canceled a series of Gemini public appearances that should have been held in California, new york and Washington, D.C., because it was found to be "unreliable in handling some non-English queries", which cast a gray color on the product launch process.
Perhaps to consolidate market confidence, early this morning, Gemini 1.0 suddenly made its grand debut, appearing in the public’s field of vision and quickly occupying the front pages of major scientific and technological media.
So, what is the strongest artificial intelligence model that Google is betting on the whole army?
Hassabis, head of DeepMind, called Gemini their most flexible model, which can run efficiently on all kinds of devices from data centers to mobile devices.
In order to achieve this extensibility, Gemini 1.0 has designed three versions with different functions and sizes:
Gemini Nano —The most efficient model on the end-side equipment. Designed for smart phones, it can perform efficient AI processing tasks without connecting to an external server. Now it has been integrated into Pixel 8 Pro, which can support the function of "summarizing text" in recording applications and the function of "intelligent reply" in Gboard. Starting with WhatsApp, it will be extended to more applications next year.
Gemini Pro —The best model for various tasks running in Google data center. Support the latest version of the AI chat robot Bard from today. It can respond quickly and understand complex queries, which is the biggest upgrade since Bard was introduced. At present, it provides English services to more than 170 countries and regions, and plans to support new languages and regions in the coming months, and apply them to more Google products such as search, advertising, Chrome and Duet AI.
Gemini Ultra -The largest and most powerful model, dedicated to highly complex tasks, will be provided to developers and enterprise customers early next year after completing the current testing phase. At that time, an updated version of Bard Advanced based on Gemini Ultra will be launched.
In terms of model architecture, Gemini still uses Transformer architecture, adopts an efficient attention mechanism, and supports the context length of 32k.
Google confidently said that after rigorous testing and performance evaluation of the Gemini model, from natural image, audio and video understanding to mathematical reasoning,Among the 32 academic benchmarks widely used in the research and development of large-scale language models, the performance of Gemini Ultra has exceeded the most advanced level represented by ChatGPT at present.. Before the release of Gemini, Google conducted a series of tests to evaluate it with standard industry indicators.
In the MMLU test, the score rate of Gemini Ultra is 90.0%, which is higher than that of GPT-4 (86.4%), making it the first model to surpass the performance of human experts. The MMLU test covers 57 subjects, including mathematics, physics, history, law, medicine and ethics, and aims to evaluate the model’s understanding and problem-solving ability in the global knowledge field.
In Reasoning, Math and Code, except HellaSwag, which lags behind GPT-4 by 87.8%, others include challenging math problems such as multi-step reasoning, algebra/geometry/pre-calculus and so on.
In terms of multimodal capability, Gemini Ultra achieved a SOTA score of 59.4% in the new MMMU benchmark test, which exceeded the 56.8% of the multimodal version GPT-4V of OpenAI. This benchmark test spans many different fields and requires precise reasoning for many tasks.
In the image benchmark test, even without the assistance of Object Character Recognition (OCR) system, the performance of Gemini Ultra is better than all previous models only by analyzing pixel information. In audio testing, the scores of automatic speech recognition and automatic speech translation of Gemini are higher than those of Whisper system connected to GPT-4.
Hassabis said that this highlights the superiority of Gemini’s native multimodal. Up to now, the usual way to create multi-modal models is to train individual components of different modes independently, and then splice them together to try to simulate some functions.
Although such models can sometimes effectively perform specific tasks such as describing pictures, they often perform poorly in more conceptual and complex reasoning.
Gemini was originally designed in a native multi-modal way, and was pre-trained in different modes from the beginning using TPUs v4 and v5e chips designed by Google.. Then it is fine-tuned with more additional multimodal data to improve its performance.
This method enables Gemini to understand and reason all kinds of input content more naturally in the initial stage, and its ability in almost all fields has reached an unprecedented advanced level.
First of all, Gemini has complex multi-modal reasoning ability, which can help to understand complex written and visual information and discover indistinguishable knowledge content in massive data.
For example, it is instructed to filter irrelevant papers through the natural language prompt, or extract key data through reading. With a lunch break, Gemini can help you extract 250 document points from 200,000 papers, and further transform the data into any required chart form. This will greatly help to achieve innovative breakthroughs in science, finance and other fields at a digital speed.
The trained Gemini can obviously recognize and understand text, image and audio data at the same time, better understand subtle information and answer questions related to complex topics. This makes it especially good at explaining reasoning in subjects such as mathematics and physics. In the example, the staff showed that Gemini can check handwriting physical mistakes and explain the correct way.
In order to show the multimodal capabilities of Gemini more intuitively, Brother Chai released a video in X, saying that "the best way to understand the amazing potential capabilities of Gemini is to look at their practical applications".
In the video, Gemini taught the staff the pronunciation of "duck" in Mandarin according to the instructions, and also explained the Chinese tone.
The staff also gave Gemini a demonstration of interaction only in Chinese. By asking about the indoor light in a picture, Gemini is asked to give the orientation of the apartment in use. Gemini answers in Chinese and guesses that the room faces south. Circle a plant in the photo and ask what kind of lighting it needs. gemini then explains the plant species and lighting requirements. The whole process is as smooth as the mother tongue, which shows that Gemini is outstanding in multilingual environment, which is no less than GPT-4.
In addition, Gemini can understand, interpret and generate high-quality codes of the most popular programming languages in the world, such as Python, Java, C++ and Go. The ability to achieve cross-language work and handle complex information makes it one of the world’s leading basic coding models, helping programmers to use the powerful AI model as a collaborative tool to design applications.
For developers, starting from December 13th, Gemini Pro can be obtained through the Gemini API in Google AI Studio or Google Cloud Vertex AI. Android developers can also use Gemini Nano, the most efficient model for end-to-end tasks, through AICore.
Looking back on the development of Google’s big model all the way, compared with the continuous and rapid update of OpenAI’s "Wang Fried", Microsoft always seems to be one step behind when it integrates various AI functions of GPT into core products and pushes them to customers. When Bard, a chat robot, was released in February this year, it got off to a bad start, and the market value evaporated by 100 billion dollars overnight with a factual error. Benchmarking Microsoft Copilot’s Duet AI work suite, the market response was moderate, and the financial performance of cloud services also lost to Microsoft.
Especially after the internal friction caused by the reorganization of Brain and DeepMind teams and the loss of senior talents to OpenAI, Google’s AI battle is even more exhausted.
However, this is, after all, an AI pioneer who contributed to Transformer’s pioneering masterpiece Attention is all you need and the landmark artificial intelligence program AlphaGo, and inspired the subsequent development of many large models including ChatGPT. No matter from the technical genes, training data, capital and infrastructure, it should have one of the best strengths.
The release of Gemini is regarded by Google as the most critical technological innovation in the past decade. Can it make Google rally, beat OpenAI and regain the throne of the big model stadium?
Will the AI competition pattern be reshaped after Genmini Ultra comes out next year?
And, has everyone tried the new Google Bard? How do you feel?

On Thursday, local time, with the soaring yield of 10-year US bonds and the "assistance" of the yield of 10-year British bonds, the risk appetite of market investors continued to be suppressed. The three major indexes of US stocks recorded a three-day losing streak. After the S&P 500 index, the Dow also fell below the 50-year moving average, which is usually regarded as a signal of a short-term downward trend.
It should be noted that the American Association of Individual Investors released the latest market sentiment survey report on Thursday, and the bullish enthusiasm of American retail investors in the next six months has plummeted, directly from 44.7% to 35.9%, breaking the state of being better than the historical average in the past 10 weeks. It is enough to show that current investors are not optimistic about the future trend of the market.
The relatively vague monetary policy direction of the Federal Reserve has played a great role. According to the latest calendar of the Federal Reserve in official website, Powell will deliver a speech at the annual meeting of Jackson Hole Central Bank on August 25th, local time. If you have memories, you should remember last year’s "nine minutes of darkness". Powell’s speech directly caused the S&P 500 index to plummet by 3%, and then it went from 4,200 to below 3,500 in the next two months.
The market may be worried that Powell’s speech this year may still cause market turmoil before inflation is completely tamed, and monetary policy may continue to be tightened during the year. At present, according to the observation tool of CME Federal Reserve, the probability of raising interest rates again at the end of the year has risen to over 30%, while the hope of lowering interest rates is slim, which was originally the biggest catalyst in the market.
In other important news, on Thursday (August 17th), local time, the latest report released by market research company Counterpoint Research showed that global smartphone shipments will drop by 6% to 1.15 billion units this year. If it is finally true, it will be the lowest level in ten years.
North America is still the main drag on the global recovery, and the disappointing performance in the first half of the year may bring the year-on-year decline of shipments in this region to double digits. However, the high-end market still maintains some flexibility. The report pointed out that Apple will therefore be in a favorable position, and the company will usher in an important product upgrade in the second half of this year, which may make it perform strongly before the end of this year.
In addition, on Thursday night, Beijing time, Musk, the world’s richest man, announced his arrival in Japan on the social media platform, but did not disclose the itinerary. A sudden visit to Japan has caused a lot of discussion in the market. The important daily activities of his social media platform X come from Japan, with a population of only one-third of that of the United States, but the daily activities are comparable to those of the United States.
Musk’s team is still frantically seizing the satellite Internet business in low-earth orbit. Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada has previously confirmed that the Japanese Self-Defense Force has started testing this equipment since March this year.
It is worth mentioning that on the occasion of Musk’s visit to Japan, when Tesla’s redesigned Model 3 was exposed to mass production, did this trip take a fancy to the potential of the Japanese electric vehicle market? The share of electric vehicles in the Japanese market has just exceeded 2%, and the best-selling Mini-EV is Nissan SAKURA, which sold 33,000 vehicles in the whole fiscal year of 2022. Tesla and () are regarded as luxury brands.

The Federal Reserve also quietly updated official website’s calendar after the close, showing that Powell will deliver the annual meeting speech of Jackson Hole at 10: 05 local time on August 25th. Investors should still remember clearly that on August 26th last year, with Powell’s famous "9-minute speech", not only did the S&P 500 index drop by 3% that day, but in the next two months, it even fell from 4,200 to 3,500.
US retail investors’ bullish enthusiasm plummeted
The American Association of Individual Investors also released the latest market sentiment survey report on Thursday. The bullish enthusiasm of American retail investors in the next six months has "dived down", directly dropping from 44.7% to 35.9%, breaking the state of being better than the historical average in the past 10 weeks.
Fed officials are increasingly wary of the stock market’s rise.
According to the latest minutes of the Fed meeting, Fed staff pointed out at the FOMC policy meeting in July that stock prices generally rose, corporate bond spreads narrowed, asset valuation pressure was "significant", and the risk assessment in May was "moderate"; Also named residential and commercial real estate prices, calling them "relatively high in terms of fundamentals".
Research report: global mobile phone shipments may fall to a 10-year low, and Apple is expected to go against the trend.
The latest report released by Counterpoint Research, a market research company, shows that global smartphone shipments are expected to hit the worst year in a decade in 2023. Despite the overall decline in smartphone shipments, the high-end market still maintains a certain degree of flexibility. The report pointed out that Apple will therefore be in a favorable position, and the company will usher in an important product upgrade in the second half of this year, which may make it perform strongly before the end of this year.
After energy and food, the signs of sticky inflation in the United States reappear, and the price of used cars rose for the first time in four months.
According to statistics, the wholesale data of used cars in the first half of August in the United States rose for the first time in four months, and the market is worried. This is another sign that inflation may be stuck for a long time after the rebound of energy and food prices.
The global bond market selling added fuel to the fire, and the demand for Japanese bond auctions was the worst since 1987.
The auction results of 20-year Japanese bonds on Thursday may show that investors are increasingly betting that the Bank of Japan will soon relax the easing policy YCC to control the yield curve. As the global sovereign bond yield has reached a 15-year high, the rising Japanese bond yield threatens global bonds.

The name of this 1-minute-long advertisement is Crush! ）。Roughly speaking, the things "crushed" by Apple are trumpet, paint bucket, guitar, piano, phonograph, statue, drum set, camera, arcade, monitor, plastic doll and so on.
Although the creativity of this advertisement is not difficult to understand: Apple has "pressed" a large number of functions into this thin and powerful tablet, and can do professional artistic creations such as painting, arranging music, taking photos and retouching pictures.
But the problem is that, as a consumer electronic product targeted at professional users, this advertisement has crushed all the creators’ "eating guys". This strange negative emotion has finally changed from the angry condemnation of a small group of professionals to a storm of public opinion.
Some netizens ridiculed that,It’s really good for Apple to attract professional creators by smashing symbols of human creativity and cultural achievements..
Some netizens criticized thatThis is a heartbreaking, uncomfortable and selfish advertisement..
Hugh Grant, a famous actor, even commented that the advertisement seemed to promote "the destruction of human experience".

When it comes to cross-border export platforms, I believe most people will blurt out AliExpress, Amazon, eBay and wish. Of course, they are indeed very important cross-border e-commerce platforms, but they are not just these cross-border e-commerce platforms. In fact, every cross-border e-commerce platform has its own industry advantages and loyal customer base, or has important or special influence in a certain country or region. For cross-border e-commerce, online channel diversification is an important way to expand network channels and scale. In addition, for some specific products and brands, it is also an important e-commerce strategy to select the target market for deep-rooted work. Then it is natural to use the local important targeted e-commerce platform. Below, Xiaobian summarizes the following fifteen emerging platforms for cross-border e-commerce from the network.
First, Souq
Souq.com, an Amazon e-commerce website in the Middle East. It has 6 million users and can reach 10 million independent visits every month. According to the current situation of the website, Souq has begun to consider expanding other businesses. For example, Souq has established its own logistics system QExpress and payment system PayFort. Moreover, Souq also launched its own brand of tablet computers. It is understood that Souq.com, Cobone.com and Sukar.com are the three largest local e-commerce websites in the Middle East.
It is understood that the UAE people are keen on surfing the Internet and playing mobile phones, and their Internet penetration rate and mobile phone holding rate have reached more than 70%. Not only the United Arab Emirates, but also people from rich Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar are keen on shopping online. It is expected that the scale of online shopping in the whole Middle East will increase rapidly in the next two or three years. About 5 out of 10 people in UAE buy goods and services through the Internet. It is expected that the e-commerce market in UAE will reach 10 billion US dollars in 2018.
Second, Lazada (Lai Zanda)
It is known as the largest online shopping mall in Southeast Asia. It is a company founded by Rocket Internet to build "Amazon in Southeast Asia". In April this year, it was invested and controlled by Ali for $1 billion. Sales of electronic products, clothes, appliances, books, cosmetics, etc., the market covers Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The company provides free delivery, free return within 14 days, and flexible payment methods. The growth rate of Internet penetration in Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam has exceeded the world average.
By 2020, the e-commerce market in Southeast Asia will reach $20.4 billion. The sustained and rapid economic growth in Southeast Asia has cultivated a large number of middle classes and huge consumer demand. Southeast Asia is another most dynamic and potential consumer market after the United States, the European Union and China. This makes the big e-commerce companies in various countries salivate and want to get it quickly. Therefore, Southeast Asia is the main battlefield for major e-commerce companies at present.
Third, Newegg (new egg)
Newegg was founded in 2001, with its headquarters in Los Angeles, Southern California. Newegg is the leading online supermarket for computer, consumer electronics and communication products in the United States. Newegg gathers about 4,000 sellers and more than 25 million customers. At first, IT sold consumer electronic products and IT products, but now it has expanded to all categories, with 55,000 varieties. Attracting wealthy and internet-savvy men aged 18 to 35. The best-selling categories are automobile supplies, sporting goods and office supplies. It is particularly noteworthy that most consumers are men, but female consumers are also growing rapidly.
Fourth, Rakuten.com (Lotte)
Founded in 1997, it has become the largest e-commerce website in Japan, with a market value of $13.5 billion and an annual revenue of over $4 billion. Lotte is also one of the largest internet companies in the world. In the US market, Lotte spent $250 million to acquire Buy.com, and in 2013, the company changed its name to "Rakuten.com Shopping". Lotte Shopping has gathered 3,000 sellers, more than 80 million customers and 23 million products. The customer base is between 25 and 54, with 50% men and 50% women. Rakuten.com originally specialized in computer and electronic products, but now it provides sporting goods, health and beauty, home and gardening, jewelry and toys.
"Beating Amazon" is the ambitious ambition of Hiroshi Mikitani, the founder of Lotte in Japan. Because the penetration in Japan’s domestic market has reached saturation, it has become difficult to attract more consumers in Japan, and internationalization is the inevitable choice for Lotte to achieve this goal. In recent years, Lotte’s overseas market moves frequently, with its all-round layout in terms of logistics, payment, channels and investment, and its sphere of influence covers Asia, Europe and America. Therefore, for cross-border e-commerce and brand owners, Lotte is an online hypermarket that cannot be ignored.
Five, Bestbuy (Best Buy)
The failure of Best Buy’s online physical store made it enter the online market in 2011. Gathered more than 100 sellers. There are 1 billion visits every year. Different from other e-commerce platforms, only invited sellers can stay in the platform and products can appear in Best Buy stores for sale. But the products are only limited to consumer electronic products.
Sixth, Tesco
Britain’s largest food and groceries retailer. Its e-commerce website was established in 2012, gathering more than 50 sellers, 43 million club card members and 4 million visits per month. The huge offline customer base is being transferred to online. Competitors include Amazon, eBay and Lotte Play.com. Products include home and gardening, baby products, sports and leisure, clothing and jewelry. Only open to invited sellers.
Britain is the largest e-commerce market in Europe, and four of the Top10 European e-retailers are in the UK. At the same time, Britain is one of the largest cross-border e-commerce exporters in the world. In 2013, online retail in the UK was 91 billion pounds (about 148.78 billion US dollars), up 16% year-on-year. Online retailing in the UK will increase by 17% in 2014, reaching 107 billion pounds (about 174.98 billion US dollars).
Seven, Lotte Play.com
Founded in 1998, it is one of the largest online entertainment retailers in the UK. Gather more than 3000 sellers and 15 million customers. Originally selling games and media products, but now it has developed into multiple categories. It is the only e-commerce platform that allows retailers to customize their own storefronts, making it the third largest online market in Britain after Amazon and eBay.
Eight, La Redoute (Shangri-La Fu)
Founded in 2010, it is the leading online retailer in France and the third largest e-commerce market in Europe. Gather more than 1,000 vendors and 10 million customers. Covering 26 countries. Shangri-La Welfare is mainly aimed at women aged between 26 and 35. Its product categories include men’s and women’s wear, underwear, shoes and accessories, furniture, crafts and so on. But don’t sell second-hand products.
MercadoLivre (Mercado Network)
The largest C2C platform in Brazil is equivalent to Taobao in China. Making good use of this platform is conducive to understanding various market information such as Brazil’s price index, consumption trends and payment habits. Gathered more than 52,000 sellers and 50.2 million registered users. The number of visitors ranks among the TOP50 in the world. It covers 13 countries and regions (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Dominica, Paraguay, Venezuela and Portugal). In addition to the electronic trading platform, there is also the largest payment platform similar to Alipay in South America. As a result, countries such as Mexico and Argentina have no localized websites. At first, it was just an auction website, but today, it is mainly an online sales platform. Considering the rapidly increasing Internet penetration rate, MercardoLivre can provide sellers with a huge potential market opportunity in South America.
X. Trade Me
It is the largest online trading market in New Zealand with more than 3.1 million members. 1.4 billion web pages are displayed every month. New and second-hand store categories include baby products, books, clothing, computers and household goods. Originally a second-hand auction market, it was a replica of the early ebay, but now it sells new products just like the new ebay.
XI. Ozon
It is the largest e-commerce platform in Russia and currently accounts for 20% of the Russian e-commerce market. The goal in the next decade is to gain 80% market share of Russian e-commerce. As we all know, the early days of Taobao in China were full of opportunities, and many Taobao brands stood out. Today’s Ozon, just like Taobao in those days, I wonder how many China sellers have settled in the sub-platform? The more important local e-commerce platforms in Russia include Lamoda, Wildberries, KupiVIP (all fashions), Ulmart and Svyaznoy (consumer electronic products).
XII. Otto (Otto Group)
The leading provider of e-commerce solutions and services from Germany ranks second only to Amazon in the global comprehensive B2C ranking, and is also the world’s largest online clothing, apparel and daily necessities retail channel provider. Its online shop sells millions of kinds of goods. The products sold cover men’s and women’s clothing, household appliances, household goods, sports equipment, computers, video games and so on. Range of brands is widely sold, and basically all brands that can be seen in the market can be found in OTTO’s online shop. In addition, OTTO has its own brand, which is very cost-effective.
It is understood that clothing is by far the most important category. Women spend 25.8 billion euros (men 22.5 billion) online, which is the main source of online income. This may be related to family shopping. 53.4% of online shoppers are women. Two-thirds of online retailing in Germany is through third-party platforms ebay and Amazon, with few independent websites. Followed by multi-channel retailers. Clothing (11.6 billion), books (5.3 billion) and electronic products (4 billion) are the three most popular categories. The above-mentioned 39.1 billion euros do not include digital products. Online retail sales of digital products (such as air tickets and event tickets) totaled 10.6 billion euros, an increase of 9.3%. Germany is the country with the most popular online sales in the world. Although the number of online consumers in China is huge, it only accounts for 19% of the total population. And Germany is as high as 61%! , more than 60% in the United States. The importance of e-commerce and digital advertising in this country is beyond doubt.

Fatty liver is becoming more and more common, and medical research suggests that it is closely related to diet. So, is there any way to "eat back" the "fat" liver that has been eaten?
"Yes!" Chen Zexiong, a famous Chinese medicine practitioner in Guangdong Province, pointed out that proper diet can really help the liver "slim down", which is also the treatment to eliminate the cause of fatty liver. However, people with "fat" liver should eat according to syndrome differentiation, and even cooking oil is particular. Experts also give three prescriptions: porridge, soup and tea to help patients with fatty liver to eat diet every day.

Text/Guangzhou Daily All-Media Reporter He Xuehua Correspondent Peng Fuxiang
Fatty liver is mostly physical examination, and it is found that 30% to 40% is due to obesity.
Two days ago, an old acquaintance and classmate came to Sun Baoguo’s clinic. She was blessed and anxious. It turned out that the old classmate was found to have fatty liver in the physical examination of the unit. "I heard that it might be cirrhosis and liver cancer, which scared me to worry about what to eat and drink!" The old classmate said.
There are quite a few such cases. Most patients with fatty liver only find problems during physical examination.
This is because most of mild fatty liver has no obvious symptoms, or only a sense of fatigue, which is easy to be ignored. However, if it develops into moderate to severe fatty liver, there will be loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, right hypochondriac or right upper abdominal pain. Moreover, if the treatment of simple fatty liver is neglected, it can develop into steatohepatitis and cirrhosis for a long time.
Fatty liver, as its name implies, is the excessive accumulation of fat in the liver. Medicine believes that it can be caused by many causes and diseases, mainly related to obesity, diabetes, alcoholism and so on. According to relevant literature reports, simple obesity accounts for 30%~40% of the causes of fatty liver, and many patients with fatty liver have high-fat and high-cholesterol diets, which suggests that the formation of fatty liver is closely related to diet, and diet may be the direct cause of disease in the general population.
Dietotherapy can eliminate the cause of fatty liver
Finding and eliminating the cause is the fundamental method to treat fatty liver, such as adjusting diet structure, losing weight, abstaining from alcohol and treating the primary disease.
Professor Chen Zexiong pointed out that a reasonable diet is of great significance to the prevention and treatment of fatty liver, especially for patients with simple fatty liver, most of them can be recovered through reasonable diet and exercise. Therefore, if you have fatty liver, don’t be afraid and worried. It is better to actively try diet therapy and "eat back" the problems you have eaten.
Then how to treat fatty liver?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is caused by improper drinking and eating, invasion of human body by dampness, emotional disorder, or chronic illness and physical weakness, which leads to poor qi movement, and the combination of dampness, phlegm and blood stasis, which is blocked in the blood vessels and meridians of the liver. Therefore, regulating qi-flowing, eliminating phlegm-dampness, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and clearing the liver and gallbladder are the main methods for treating this disease in traditional Chinese medicine. The choice of daily diet for patients with fatty liver should also follow this principle. While paying attention to the color, smell and taste of food, try to choose foods that meet the actual needs of individuals.
List of foods to help the liver "lose weight"
Foods with fatty liver preventing and treating effects and nutrition metabolism improving effects;
Patients with fatty liver who are uncomfortable with the right hypochondriac rib (that is, the right chest from the armpit to the sternum) and easy to get angry can eat more vegetables, chrysanthemum, tomatoes, shepherd’s purse, etc., which can clear away heat and cool the liver;
Patients with bad breath, constipation and fatty liver who overeat greasy food can eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and cellulose, such as radish, bamboo shoots, wax gourd, loofah, celery, cucumber, water chestnut and hawthorn fruit, which can clear away heat, promote bowel movement and facilitate urination;
Fatty liver patients with physical weakness can choose low-fat and high-protein foods such as pork lean meat, pigeon meat, rabbit meat, beef lean meat, skim milk, soybean milk, etc., which can tonify liver and kidney, replenish qi and nourish blood.
Food unsuitable for patients with fatty liver:
Pig fat, goose, duck eggs, animal oil, animal viscera and animal brain have high fat content; Crab, crab roe, squid, cuttlefish, clam meat and anchovies are high in cholesterol, so it is advisable to eat less or not. Because sugar will turn into fat in the body, which will aggravate fatty liver, it is better to eat less high-sugar foods such as litchi, longan pulp, candied fruit, preserved fruit and sugar.
Selection of staple food and oil:
It is suggested that fatty liver patients should choose vegetable oils such as vegetable oil, sesame oil, cottonseed oil and peanut oil, because they contain more unsaturated fatty acids and have the effect of lowering blood cholesterol. The staple food can be low-sugar foods such as corn flour, buckwheat flour, oat flour, bean flour and other products. These foods are coarse grains, which can reduce qi and broaden the intestines and cleanse the greasy stomach.
One porridge, one soup and one tea are most suitable for liver "fat"
Patients with fatty liver in daily life can also choose medicated diet for conditioning:
Hawthorn Carassius auratus soup: Take 30g of raw hawthorn, one crucian carp, 10g of immature bitter orange, appropriate amount of ginger and water, and drink the soup after cooking. Regular administration of this decoction can promote blood circulation and qi circulation, and has a certain effect on hypochondriac swelling pain or acupuncture-like pain, or hepatomegaly and purple tongue.
Pueraria flower tea: 15g of Pueraria flower, 10g of Salvia miltiorrhiza, 4-5 tablets of Ilex kudingcha, appropriate amount of water, boiling and simmering for 30min, and taking the juice as tea. Used for long-term alcoholism and mutual stagnation of dampness and blood stasis.
Codonopsis pilosula millet porridge: 10 grams of Codonopsis pilosula, 10 grams of Poria cocos, 20 grams of lentils, boiled for 30 minutes with appropriate amount of water, added with 100 grams of millet, and cooked with slow fire. For people with weak temper, such as listlessness, pale complexion and loss of appetite, this porridge can be taken frequently.
Special reminder that dietotherapy doesn’t work, hurry up with medication.
Experts pointed out that while adjusting the diet structure, patients with fatty liver should also take appropriate exercise to keep their mood comfortable, which is helpful for the treatment of fatty liver.
Special reminder, for those who have the primary disease or the above methods can not be effective, they must go to a regular hospital to find a specialist to deal with it, and cooperate with drug treatment to avoid delaying the illness.
CCTV News:Entering the summer tourist season, major landmark attractions across the country have ushered in a large passenger flow, and cultural and creative products have also been "new". Small and exquisite refrigerator magnets, cute and funny mascots, creative peripheral toys, rich varieties and creative products have become important growth points of tourism consumption. Which cultural creations are popular this summer vacation? How did excellent products come into being? What are the new changes in the cultural and creative industry chain? Come and see the reporters’ interviews in many places.
I came to the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing and walked all the way from the entrance. There are dozens of cultural and creative shops, large and small. In order to welcome the summer tourist season, Wenchuang Store has also extended its business until 10: 00 pm, that is, to coincide with the visit time of the Great Wall at night. The largest Wenchuang Store in Dengchengkou has just been renovated recently, with more than 6,000 people entering the store every day.
For the summer vacation, children’s favorite cultural and creative groups have been added to the store. The "customs clearance document" with names, the Great Wall brick with treasures that can be "dug" and the "Four Seasons Great Wall" ornaments that can change colors at any time are very popular.
After Gansu Wenbo’s "conspicuous package" was on fire. Recently, it is also popular on social networks to choose a handful of "fluffy" Tianshui mala Tang from the "fluffy" big refrigerator, and then pick a few "soft" potatoes and potato eggs.
How can Wenchuang products get less delicious food? In the Yinxu Museum in Anyang, Henan Province, the wide noodles engraved with Oracle Bone Inscriptions make children’s appetite big, and when they eat, they can also get a piece of "Niu Zun Fried Egg", and this "Dading 1: 1 Rice" has both taste and value.
In Shanghai, Xujiahui specially took out a plot of 1,200 square meters and built a cultural and creative collection store full of Shanghai charm. Visitors can pick a small and exquisite "cast iron" manhole cover and turn their fingers to combine the words on the Rubik’s cube into a beautiful blessing.
Immersive punch card is a good idea to "bring fire" to a city
Wenchuang can not only buy, but also interact on the spot. Recently, visitors to Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province have a new way of playing, that is, the whole city "looking for Lu Xun".
In Lu Xun’s former residence, in Cang Qiao Zhijie, and even on the cruise ship, you can see cute and cute Lu Xun dolls. Many young people follow Chinese textbooks and "punch in" the life track of young Lu Xun.
Since the beginning of this year, the scenic spot of Lu Xun’s hometown has received 2.285 million tourists, and has received a total of 350,000 tourists in the summer, among which tourists aged 18 to 35 account for more than one third.
Get through the link, good design and good business.
Buying several favorite "peripheral" small objects, tasting a delicious food with urban characteristics or personally experiencing cultural and creative production have become the "standard" of current tourism. In recent years, local governments have strongly supported the development of cultural and creative industries, opened up market-oriented industrial links and brought new impetus to economic development.
In a shop on Xinle Road, Old Street, Shanghai, pieces of exquisite hand-painted enamel bricks are full of luster. This ceramic tile technique was originally used to restore historical buildings, but now it has been developed into a variety of Shanghai-style cultural goods. These hand-painted enamel bricks are also the winners of the 14th Shanghai Gift Design Competition.
Many mature enterprises and outstanding industrial designers are linked together through competitions. From the aspects of market research, design, proofing, transformation, production, channels and sales, the industrial chain of "Shanghai Gift" is getting deeper and deeper.
Bringing the "Museum" Home, New Travel and New Career.
With the rise of immersive cultural tourism, the new consumption format of cultural and creative products has also spawned a new profession — — Wenchuang product planning operator.
Liu Nian of Chongqing Three Gorges Museum is one of them. This bronze toy designed by him is the most popular cultural and creative product in the store. Fish mouth, crested pigeon body and animal ear, a bird-shaped statue of Pakistan in the Warring States Period, have become the treasures in the Three Gorges Museum since it was unearthed in 2002, and Liu Nian is one of the people who have seen it the most and frequently.
There is no shortage of culture in the museum, but all kinds of whimsy are indispensable to refine the symbols behind the collection into cultural and creative products. Not long ago, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security publicized a number of new occupations, and Wenchuang product planning operators were among them. In the more and more "spelling" Wenchuang circuit, museums are eager for this new type of work that knows marketing and can operate.
Since 2017, major museums in Chongqing have vigorously carried out cultural and creative work. Up to now, 12,666 kinds of cultural and creative products have been launched, with a revenue of nearly 200 million yuan.
Little refrigerator stickers create "wisdom" and new kinetic energy
After years of development, Wenchuang products have gradually formed a new trend of customization and refinement, which can be seen from the refrigerator stickers that have quietly changed in recent years. Fridge Magnet, as a popular product of punch card proof in travel destination, has changed from little difference to its own characteristics, and even become a collectible work of art, which is inseparable from the continuous upgrading of products from design, material, technology, sales and other aspects.
In Yiwu International Trade City, Zhejiang Province, when you walk into Ji Tengyu’s shop, tens of thousands of kinds of refrigerator magnets are distributed all over the wall. He has been doing the refrigerator business for more than ten years, and told reporters that from the sales volume, you can see which city is "on fire" again.
More than a decade ago, as a "general product" of tourist attractions, refrigerator magnets had no sense of design and complicated technology. Nowadays, quicksand models, luminous perspective models and even AR and naked-eye 3D refrigerator magnets that can "snow" are difficult to meet the customized needs of customers. Just for a city-limited refrigerator, Wu Xiangjuan, the business owner, has been "grinding" with the design team for more than a month, and he has to decide the color, concentrate the urban landscape and choose the appropriate silicone material.
In addition to "spelling" design, upstream manufacturers are more "spelling" product quality. In a customized refrigerator factory in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, enterprises hope to differentiate themselves from traditional products through new processes and technologies.
Internet big data platform shows that during the summer vacation, the number of refrigerator related orders increased by 228% compared with last year, and the transaction volume was 1.78 times that of last year.
CCTV News:Because of the broadcast of a food documentary, in recent days, "Zhangqiu Iron Pot" can be said to be a red overnight. This kind of iron pot forged by traditional manual skills has become a popular product snapped up by everyone.
"Zhangqiu Iron Pot" is popular, but the business owner who produces iron pots has begun to worry? Why?
China 3 on the tip of the tongue: "Twelve processes, 18 times of heat, more than a dozen hammer tools, large and small, 1000 degrees of high temperature smelting, 36,000 times of forging, each forging is the most powerful experience of iron, while injecting strength into the iron pot."
Every season, "China on the tip of the tongue" will bring some food or utensils with it. The third season of "China on the tip of the tongue" broadcast in the Spring Festival this year will make Zhangqiu iron pot, which has always been unknown, popular overnight.
In the documentary, not only Zhangqiu’s long history as the "hometown of blacksmiths" is presented, but also the tedious manual production process is displayed. In the dozens of minutes after the broadcast of the program, more than 2,000 iron pots in the inventory of Zhangqiu Iron Pot Online Store were robbed and emptied.
At the same time, the experience store in Jinan, Shandong Province, which is being renovated, has also flooded into consumers from all over the country.
The experience store, which was intended to be officially opened in March this year, had to open ahead of schedule because of the large number of visitors.
In the hastily opened physical store, consumers not only bought all the goods in the store, but also the samples hanging on the wall.
According to statistics, the sales of Zhangqiu iron pot on Tmall platform increased by nearly 6,000 times year-on-year. But the current reality is that Zhangqiu iron pot is hard to find.
In desperation, four days after the China broadcast on the tip of the tongue, the merchants put up the slogan "Zhangqiu has no pot, Luoyang paper is expensive" on the homepage of the website, and removed all the pots and pans. At the same time, in the persuasion statement, consumers are advised to "consume rationally, I hope everyone will refund, and then buy slowly when the heat dissipates, so as not to let the inheritance get into too much money."
CCTV News:Recently, COVID-19 vaccination for children aged 3-11 has been started, so which should be vaccinated first, influenza vaccine or COVID-19 vaccine? What problems should children pay attention to when they are vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine? About vaccination, we know together.
There is no difference in the protective effect between children vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine and adults
Is COVID-19 Vaccine Safe for Children?
Jiang Rongmeng, Vice President of beijing ditan hospital, Chief Physician of Infectious Diseases:The inactivated vaccine of Covid-19 produced in China has been carried out in clinical experiments on people aged 3-17. After evaluation and demonstration, it is safe to use inactivated vaccine of COVID-19 in people aged 3-17.
Is there any difference between the dose and dosage of Covid-19 vaccine for children and adults?
Jiang Rongmeng, Vice President of beijing ditan hospital, Chief Physician of Infectious Diseases:There is no difference in dosage, dosage and process between children vaccinated with inactivated Covid-19 vaccine and adults.
The interval between influenza vaccination and COVID-19 vaccination should be more than 14 days.
Should children get the flu vaccine or COVID-19 vaccine first?
Zhang Yuntao, Chairman of the Quality Committee of China Vaccine Association:You can get the flu at the same time when you hit COVID-19, but the interval must be greater than or equal to 14 days. At present, Covid-19 and the flu virus are different viruses, and there is no cross protection between them, so you must get the flu when you hit COVID-19.
Vaccination against influenza or COVID-19 vaccine is not recommended if you are catching a cold and coughing.
Can the child be vaccinated against COVID-19 or flu if he is allergic?
Xu Baoping, Director of Respiratory Department of Beijing Children’s Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University:The vast majority of children with allergies can be vaccinated, as long as they are not in the acute stage.
Jiang Rongmeng, Vice President of beijing ditan hospital, Chief Physician of Infectious Diseases:If you have symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, or cough, you should still suspend the vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine, including influenza vaccine, and wait until these symptoms disappear and relieve, then evaluate and make an appointment for vaccination.
Is it completely safe after vaccination?
Even if you are vaccinated with influenza vaccine or Covid-19 vaccine, you should stick to personal protection, and at the same time actively exercise and enhance your immune function.
Jiang Rongmeng, Vice President of beijing ditan hospital, Chief Physician of Infectious Diseases:It doesn’t mean that you won’t be infected after vaccination, so we should stick to these non-pharmaceutical and non-vaccine measures in our daily life, such as wearing masks, avoiding places where people gather, doing hand hygiene well, and not washing your hands and touching your eyes and nose, which is very important for us to prevent these respiratory virus infections.
At the beginning of the year, when BMW’s brand-new 5 Series went on the market, we experienced the static state and talked about the price and basic experience. Half a year has passed, and we have a chance to get a test drive. The key is to come back twice at a time. Let’s take a look at BMW’s brand-new 5-series petrol-electric twin car today. How about driving it?
Because of pure electricity, there are some minor differences in design between the i5 side and the fuel version. Anyway, I will look at the 5 Series in a few months, and I don’t know if you have adapted to the changes in the design of this generation of models. In fact, it’s still beautiful. If you compare two static pictures, you will prefer the "M design suit", which is very sporty.
Of course, the aesthetic thing varies from person to person, which is also the most heated point that many brothers discuss after seeing this generation of 5 series design. The 5 series, which was originally more focused on administrative positioning, has now changed its skin. Has the taste of business changed with it?
Around this problem, we opened the brand-new 5 series, sat and sat, and concluded that it was more business than before.
Say sit first. The size of the entire rear seat is wider, the sense of package after sitting is stronger, and the quietness during driving is improved. The sealing strips of the four doors of the whole car are treated with double layers here, which is the same in the design of oil and electricity vehicles. Of course, i5 is definitely quieter when it runs because of pure electricity.
Chassis, pure oil 5 series side, the setting of mechanical suspension further depends on comfort, the filter array of suspension is clean and light, but after all, it is a BMW, which should have a sense of road confidence, but it is still reserved. Relatively speaking, i5 rear axle is equipped with a set of air suspension as standard. Although you can’t actively adjust the hardness, you can adjust the TA adaptively, and the dynamic real-time comfort is completely OK. Even if we just talk about comfort, the performance of the i5 will be better, and the floating feeling of the whole chassis will further erase some redundant information on the road. The difference in driving texture between the two cars can be so great, which I never expected before. Everyone will feel it when they have a chance to try it together.
Switch to the front row. From the driving point of view, the power of the new 5 Series is still a combination of 2.0T divided high and low power, and then 8AT. However, this time, a new 48V light mixing system was added to the powertrain of the pure oil model. I talked to the product engineer at the scene and got a reply that the 48V system was added to solve some slight setbacks of the previous generation 5 Series at low speed and low gear. From the actual sense of body, you can’t feel the intervention of the small motor of this 48V system at all, and the power input in the whole area is very smooth.
Now, if you put the driving mode in comfort, the dynamic response to sudden acceleration of this 5-Series is slower than before, a little slower than BMW. But if you keep cruising or cruising, and the power is smooth enough to burst in comfortable mode, you will be surprised to find out whether the engine in front is running. In short, according to your different driving demands, the new 5 Series in comfort mode will give you a very contrast.
Ok, if you say this model doesn’t work. It’s very simple, either directly cut the sports mode and return to the most familiar BMW’s dynamic response state, or the left-hand paddle of the steering wheel has a "Boost" mode. If you dial it for 10 seconds, you will release higher torque output to complete some series of lane-changing overtaking. Similarly, this function point is the same on i5. The difference is that after the "Boost" mode is triggered, the performance of the i5 motor will be more intense.
In addition, there is another interesting point. This time, the brand-new 5 Series has engaged in a set of dynamic sound simulation. TA will send back an extra sound wave from the stereo of the whole car through the algorithm according to the size and intensity of your oil. To tell the truth, it is suggested that the owners of the cash 5 series should turn this thing off. For one thing, this is not a new function, and for another, it is a little noisy, which doesn’t quite conform to the style of the 5 series.
After talking about some basic driving experiences, let’s talk about assisted driving. The new 5 Series (fuel version) comes standard with L2-level assisted driving. Compared with the crazy volume hardware specifications in the field of intelligent electric vehicles in China, BMW still relies on the combination scheme of vision and short-wave radar to provide assisted driving function, and also realizes high-speed navigation assistance based on vehicle navigation system.
We won’t talk much about the basic car-following acceleration and deceleration, active braking, etc. Let’s talk about one point: "eyes changing lanes", which is an exclusive configuration on the 530Li exclusive model. Briefly explain the triggering logic and process of this function to the brothers. When you start the navigation-assisted driving in the highway scene, if the vehicle detects a slow train ahead, the system will start scanning the surrounding lane environment. After confirming that it is possible to change lanes, the system will prompt you through the HUD on the front block to confirm whether to change lanes. At this time, if you think it’s okay to change lanes, then look at the left and turn left, and stare at the right and turn right.
Compared with the past, BMW’s auxiliary driving steering column confirmed the lane change operation, and further realized the "non-inductive" operation on the new 5 series. I know that there may be a fraternity saying that all the new forces have changed by themselves, so you can say that this is BMW’s conservatism, but from another angle, it can also be said that BMW is treating cutting-edge technology and security. It not only ensures the "no contact" in operation, but also ensures the driver’s safety confirmation of issuing operation instructions.
In fact, from the configuration list of the new 5 Series, the assisted driving project should be said to be the biggest improvement point of this generation of 5 Series in vehicle configuration. At least on the previous generation 5 Series, the core standard is only fixed-speed cruise and active braking, and high-order adaptive cruise needs to be optional. Then, on this generation of models, in addition to the aforementioned "eye lane change", other functions related to assisted driving are standard, including the tracking and reversing function previously packaged in the option.
Generally speaking, although the new 5 Series is young or sporty in design, its internal positioning is still a stable administrative and commercial attribute. The updated design can be regarded as that the consumer group of the 5 series is younger at this stage, or that the young people at the beginning have reached the age of buying the 5 series. So make some changes in the whole exterior and interior, which is timely and in line with the wind. Then as long as you get into the car and drive, no matter the smoothness of power, the atmosphere and texture in the car, the smell that the 5 Series should have is all there.
