　　　　Xinhuanet Tianjin, February 20th (Reporter Zhou Runjian, Cai Yugao) On the 21st, the 15th day of the first month is the traditional Lantern Festival in China. According to experts, many customs of the Lantern Festival, which has a history of more than 2,000 years, have unique origins.


　　　　Zhao Zhi Heng, director of Tianjin Astronomical Society, said that the Lantern Festival began in the Western Han Dynasty. After putting down the "Zhulu Rebellion", Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty deeply felt that peace and prosperity were hard-won, and designated the 15th day of the first lunar month, the day of quelling the rebellion, as a day of having fun with the people. In ancient times, the first month was also called "January" and the night was also called "Xiao", so the Chinese Emperor designated the fifteenth day of the first month as the Lantern Festival. Later, Sima Qian created the taichu calendar, and listed the Lantern Festival as a major festival.


　　　　Zhao Zhi Heng said that solve riddles on the lanterns is a unique literary form with national style in China. It originated from folk riddles, which prevailed in the Three Kingdoms period. In the Southern Song Dynasty, riddles became a way of playing in the Lantern Festival. People tie riddles to colorful lanterns for people to guess and shoot, which is called "lantern riddles". After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, lantern riddles have developed into an indispensable form of recreational activities for urban and rural people in the New Year Festival, especially the Lantern Festival.


　　　　On the fifteenth day of the first month, in addition to lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns, there are also folk customs such as playing with dragon lanterns, dancing lions and walking on stilts.


　　　　Zhao Zhi Heng introduced that "playing dragon lantern", also known as "dragon dance" and "dragon lantern dance", is a unique traditional folk entertainment activity in China, which was quite common in the Han Dynasty and more common in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Through the continuous processing and creation of folk artists, "playing with dragon lanterns" has now developed into a folk dance art with perfect form, considerable performance skills and romanticism.


　　　　Lion dance is a traditional folk sports activity, which originated in the Three Kingdoms and prevailed in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Lion dance can be divided into "northern lion dance" and "southern lion dance" in China. Nowadays, lion dance not only appears in festive festivals, but also enters the stage. As an acrobatic festival, lion dance is deeply appreciated by Chinese and foreign audiences.


　　　　"Walking on stilts" was originally an ancient folk dance in China. Performers in disguise step on wooden stilts three or four feet high and hold fans in their hands for rhythmic dancing. There is a record of stilts in Liezi Shuofu, which was very popular in Tang and Song Dynasties.

The spring beauty market ushered in a turning point in demand, and brands rushed into the refined track.

Wake up in the spring, and the mood of wanting to be beautiful grows wantonly in the new spring.

According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the total retail sales of social consumer goods reached 7,706.7 billion yuan in January and February 2023, a year-on-year increase of 3.5%. Among them, the total retail sales of cosmetics was 65.6 billion yuan, up 3.8% year-on-year, achieving the first positive growth since August 2022, and the cosmetics market showed obvious warming momentum.

Recently, Vipshop joined hands with many well-known beauty brands to launch a consumer survey called # Vipshop Beauty Awakening Plan #, and based on the platform sales data, brand feedback and nearly 1,500 netizens’ responses from platforms such as Weibo, Xiaohongshu, bilibili and Zhihu, it released the "2023 Beauty Awakening Trend" (hereinafter referred to as "Trend"). Trend shows that since the beginning of this year, the trend of making-up first, refined demand and streamlined skin care has been remarkable, which has brought new development space and growth point to the beauty market.

Trend 1: under the recovery of the market, make-up is the first to start.

In the vibrant spring, bright makeup makes people feel happier and more confident socially. Benefiting from the full liberalization of consumption and social scenes, makeup consumption took the lead in the first quarter of 2023, which sounded the clarion call for the recovery of the beauty market.

According to the data of Vipshop, from January to mid-March, 2023, the sales volume of platform makeup increased by 6.24% month-on-month, among which lip makeup and eye makeup products increased the most obviously, increasing by 15.3% and 18.6% month-on-month. In terms of brands, the sales of domestic beauty brands, such as Huaxizi, Kazilan and Tangduo, have increased significantly, with an increase of 17.1%, 24.9% and 20.6% respectively.

Geographically, the sales of beauty cosmetics in first-tier and new first-tier cities have increased significantly. For example, the sales of beauty cosmetics in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen increased by 20% to 40% month-on-month, and the growth rates of Chengdu and Chongqing, the "most beautiful cities", both exceeded 80%. Among the top ten cities in beauty sales, Xi ‘an increased by 101.9% month-on-month, ranking first in the country in terms of growth rate.

Trend 2: The consumer demand is refined, and the subdivided track is optimistic.

With the refinement of consumer demand, more and more beauty brands further expand their product lines and capture opportunities to segment the track. Taking Tangduo as an example, in 2022, innovative products, such as high-gloss capacity-repairing disk and ultra-fine eyeliner, were introduced in addition to the dominant categories such as eye shadow and blush, which formed a more perfect product layout and quickly seized the market segment.

At the same time, consumers’ awareness of cosmetics has improved rapidly, which puts forward higher requirements for the brand’s product strength. The person in charge of the Lancer brand pointed out that many "component parties" are even familiar with the basic formula and efficacy features of the products, and the beauty track will continue to "roll the efficacy" and "roll the research and development".

In addition, the refinement of demand is also reflected in the consumption scene+style. The person in charge of Maybelline brand said, "With the stratification, diversification and refinement of consumer demand, beauty care brands gradually break the circle boundary and expand brand influence through topic innovation with different emotions and scenes."

Trend 3: quality consumption prevails, and subtraction skin care becomes a hot spot.

# vipshop Beauty Awakening Plan # Consumer survey results show that nearly half of the consumers surveyed have reported that their consumption mentality has tended to be calm in the past three years, and their choices have become more rational, paying more attention to product quality. "I used to buy what I used to buy, but now I prefer to be short of it, and I will choose products that are of good quality and suitable for me."

The person in charge of Maybelline brand believes that consumers’ pursuit for the quality and details of beauty products reflects a typical attitude towards self-satisfaction.

The ever-changing lifestyle is reshaping the relationship between consumers and beauty care. A person in the beauty industry said, "Under the influence of environmental awareness and healthiness, consumers are increasingly favoring products with natural raw materials and safe ingredients. In terms of makeup, more consumers began to’ do subtraction’, praised natural and clean makeup, bid farewell to exaggeration and pursue originality. "

After more than half a year’s market downturn, the prosperity of the cosmetics industry has greatly increased. Cosmetics are selling well during Valentine’s Day 214 and Women’s Day 3.8 this year, which also makes brands optimistic about the next market trend.

The person in charge of the Orange Blossom brand said, "When the overall social mobility returns to normal, the vitality of the market is increasingly displayed. More importantly, we have seen more confidence in the industry, which comes from the supply chain, channels, consumers, and even more from various brands in the industry. This makes us look forward to the overall recovery of the beauty industry. "

The person in charge of Vipshop’s beauty cosmetics said: "As the original intention of the Spring Awakening Plan, Vipshop hopes to join hands with beauty brands in spring and start from spring."

＂442＂ magazine named the top ten strikers in today’s football, and Mbappé can only be ranked second!

"442" magazine named the top ten strikers in today’s football, and Mbappé can only be ranked second!

Tenth, Vlahovic, as the outstanding player after 2000, Vlahovic, who scored 33 league goals in 2021, became a football star shining in Europe in Florence with super ability, and then joined Juventus with a transfer fee of 81.6 million euros in January 2022, which also attracted much attention as the champion of winter. Although his performance in the Old Lady is not very stable, he has made 41 appearances for the team and scored 14 goals this season. He is still the top scorer in the team. Vlahovic, known as the new Ibrahimovic in football, is only 23 years old this year. I believe he still has a lot of potential to tap.

Ninth place, Isaac, was voluntarily given up by Dortmund. Some people say that he is worthy of the name. However, Isaac became the champion of Newcastle’s team history after being tempered in La Liga. Unconsciously, this season’s Premier League has scored 10 goals because of injuries, which has contributed to Newcastle’s entry into the top three of the league. As a Swedish demon star who has risen in recent years, his physical fitness and footwork skills are excellent. In the game against Everton, he has scored several assists in a row, and it can be said that he has already played his worth of 70 million euros.

Eighth, Jesus, he is Mr. Golden Ball of Brazil, known as Little Jesus. He has a good sense of speed and teamwork, and can preach and shoot well. Last season, I had to move to Arsenal because of the arrival of Harland, but Jesus, who came to the Gunners, still performed brilliantly, successfully activated the team’s attack and provided a strong guarantee for the rise of Arsenal this season. I believe that as long as Jesus stays healthy, he will definitely make a difference at Arsenal.

Seventh, lautaro, although lautaro’s performance in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 will always be criticized and teased by fans, it has to be admitted that lautaro is a prolific striker. While helping Inter Milan successfully reach the Champions League final this season, lautaro scored 25 goals for the first time in his career for two consecutive seasons. He is also the fifth player in team history who can score at least 10 goals for Inter Milan after the Champions League reform.

Sixth place, Levan, he is known as the Polish goal machine, and he keeps high goal efficiency all the year round. During Bayern’s period, Lewan scored a horrible goal of 0.92 per game, and he was soft in the battle for the Bundesliga Golden Boot. He also won the European Golden Boot and the Champions League Golden Boot. Although he is 34 years old this year, Levan is still the team’s number one offensive weapon after joining Barcelona. Now there are four rounds left in La Liga, and Levan scored 21 goals, four goals ahead of Benzema, firmly occupying the top scorer’s throne.

Fifth place, Osman, a 24-year-old Neapolitan striker, is a talented player who walked out of the slums of Lades. Now he is the number one Nigerian star. He has a height of 1.86 meters, excellent physical fitness and strong impact. Osmain made 35 appearances for Napoli League and Champions League this season, scoring 28 goals, which not only helped Napoli win the Serie A championship five rounds ahead of schedule, but also led the scorer list with 23 league goals. Now the hottest striker in European football has turned around for as much as 100 million euros.

Fourth place, Harry Kane, he is the top scorer of the England national team and the player who scored the most goals in the history of Tottenham. As the most comprehensive center in the Premier League, Kane has scored more than 25 goals in a single season for nine consecutive years. Although the overall performance of Tottenham Hotspur this season is not satisfactory, Kane’s state has always been stable, with 36 appearances for the team and 27 goals, ranking second only to Harland in the top scorer list. It’s just that the British geocentric is about to turn 30, and the club and national team have always played basketball. Whether the end of this season will usher in a turning point in his career, choosing a transfer will definitely be a major attraction in football.

Third place, Benzema, although this season’s Real Madrid failed to step over Manchester City and fell to the semi-final of the Champions League, and the league title was also taken away by bitter rival Barcelona, Benzema’s performance remained stable, and his age at 35 did not decline at all. So far this season, he has played 38 games for Real Madrid, scored 28 goals and sent six assists, and his offensive efficiency is still amazing. He proved that he is still the frontcourt organizer and terminator that Real Madrid can rely on.

Second, Mbappé, as a talented player who is also known as the new double pride in football with Harland, Mbappé has been one of the most interesting stars in football since his debut. Whether in the club or in the national team, his offensive ability is the most important part of the team. This season, he played 40 times for various competitions in Greater Paris, scored 38 goals, and made eight assists, which earned him a turning price of 180 million euros. I believe that Mbappé, who is only 24 years old this year, will completely welcome his era.

The first one, Harland, wants to ask who is the hottest striker in football now. There is no doubt that it is Mobu. In the first season when Harland moved from Dortmund to Manchester City, he successfully broke the single-season scoring record in the Premier League, making 49 appearances for the team in various competitions and scoring 52 goals. The Blue Moon is also blessed by the center killer, and the results of the league and the Champions League have been strongly guaranteed. He is also the most promising storm in today’s football and can launch an impact on various goal records.

Bo Yu said sports： The Premier League is not surprised by its performance this season. I have always been one of the top shooters.

According to SPI, regression is in the eyes of onlookers. Guardiola’s team still has a 44% chance of winning the Premier League and has the second highest odds (20%) of winning the Champions League. This is not a nightmare season in Etihad. But after winning four league titles in the past five seasons, the fact that Manchester City is not popular in the league at present is definitely a sign of at least a slight decline.

Manchester City created a very similar scoring output in the Premier League in the 2022-23 season-2.6 goals per game last year; This year’s score is 2.5 points-although the xG output is low (from 2.6 points to 2.1 points per game), the new Ehrling Harland is one of the best finishers in the world in recent seasons, which makes up for a considerable difference. It’s hard to worry too much about the attack, even though adding Harland didn’t actually make it better.
