Yan Ning, a professor from Tsinghua University, was hired as a tenured faculty member at Princeton University in the United States, which recently attracted a lot of attention. Wechat WeChat official account intercepted Yan Ning’s old blog post published in 2014, and speculated that she "left in a huff" because her scientific research project was not successfully applied to the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

　　This was "refuted" by Yan Ning himself in Weibo. "What does it matter whether I go to Princeton or not?" Yan Ning wrote: "Being asked by countless people whether this article is true or not, it is obviously inexplicable and nonsense."

　　Yan Ning Weibo rumors

　　Yan Ning, 39, studied in the Department of Biological Sciences and Technology of Tsinghua University, and then completed his doctorate at Princeton University, and completed his post-doctoral career for two years. In 2007, 30-year-old Yan Ning returned to Tsinghua to teach and became the youngest doctoral supervisor in Tsinghua at that time.

　　Ten years later, Yan Ning accepted the olive branch of tenure at Princeton University. Why? This has attracted many people to be curious. Although, Yan Ning has said in the statement, the reason for being hired by Princeton is "I am afraid that I will stay in an environment for a long time, and I may be complacent and not know it; Changing the environment is to give yourself some new pressure and stimulate yourself to get inspiration, hoping to make new breakthroughs in science. " Moreover, Princeton University, like Tsinghua University, is her alma mater. "It has always been my ideal to be able to teach in these two proud alma mater." However, speculation about why she will go to Princeton University continues.

　　"It is obviously a happy thing, please don’t speculate, otherwise I will say that I was scared away by these false statements and cyber violence." Yan Ning wrote in Weibo.

　　A friend of Yan Ning’s academic circle told The Paper: "I understand her decision. Of course, it is not determined by a single factor transmitted outside. "

　　Previously, an article entitled "Professor Tsinghua University Yan Ning is about to join Princeton, and he is angry with the fund review!" WeChat official account’s article spread in WeChat circle of friends. On May 7th, Yan Ning forwarded the article in a circle of friends, thinking that it was "taken out of context" and "cut the head and cut the tail" from her old blog.

　　Yan Ning WeChat Friends Circle

　　The Paper read the old article "A Failed Fund Application" in Yan Ning blog quoted by WeChat official account, and found that Yan Ning told the story that he applied for a key project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China in 2014 and 2015 with the project "Structure and Mechanism of Glucose Transporter", but he didn’t get a chance to reply.

　　The evaluation of the Science Fund includes peer review opinions, and the Fund Committee screens the projects that participate in the defense according to the results of peer review. Yan Ning said in the article that she received the comments from the judges at that time. "I am still very pleased to see the comments. The opinions put forward by the experts are very pertinent and professional. I thank you here."

　　In the article, Yan Ning did discuss some of his own different views on the criteria for the selection of funded projects by NSFC. When explaining why he wrote this article, Yan Ning wrote: "The first is to tell a lesson seriously, that is, no matter how confident you are in your own research, you can’t take it lightly in propsal (note: referring to the application of the fund). I express my remorse at this point; The second is to discuss what kind of research should be supported by youth (note: NSFC Youth Science Fund Project), general (note: NSFC General Project), key (note: NSFC Key Project) and Jie Qing (note: NSFC Outstanding Youth Science Fund). How to encourage innovation in financial support? Even if you throw a brick to attract jade. "

　　On the website of NSFC’s Science Fund Network Information System, The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) made incomplete statistics according to the query results. Since Yan Ning returned to China to teach in 2007, there have been at least six approved projects with her as the head, with a total approved fund of 8.21 million yuan. Among them, research projects related to glucose transporters are also listed.

　　From this point of view, "Yan Ning was hired by Princeton, in fact, he left angrily. The direct cause of being angry is that the domestic scientific research system makes it impossible for her to carry out the scientific research projects she wants to do. This speculation is untenable.

　　Yan Ning’s employment as a tenured faculty member in a top American university has attracted so much attention, but in the eyes of his colleagues in the biosphere in China, this is a normal flow of talents.

　　"I think it’s quite good," a researcher in the domestic biology field told The Paper. "It also shows that the domestic scientific research level is increasingly recognized by foreign first-class universities and research institutions." He said that the gap between home and abroad is getting smaller and smaller now, and several foreigners from developed countries in Europe and America have come to China to do research in some scientific research institutions in Shanghai.

　　"PI (academic leaders) in China go abroad, and I think there will be more and more." The above researchers said.

　　The meandering Yellow River, with its indomitable majestic momentum, has shaped the Chinese nation’s national character of self-improvement and is an important foundation for the Chinese nation’s firm cultural self-confidence.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that it is necessary to promote the systematic protection of the cultural heritage of the Yellow River and protect the precious heritage left by our ancestors. It is necessary to deeply explore the value of the times contained in the Yellow River culture, tell the story of the Yellow River well, continue the historical context, strengthen cultural self-confidence, and gather spiritual strength for the Chinese dream of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　Following this, the sons and daughters of the Yellow River compose the "Yellow River Chorus" in the new era.

　　River Civilization: how the Yellow River’s waters move out of heaven

　　Through the dance language, it tells the changes of Hehuang and shows the mother river that nurtures the Chinese culture of "multiple symbiosis, integration and co-construction". On September 5th, the performance season of the original dance poem Hehuang ended successfully in Qinghai Grand Theatre.

　　"There are ten performances and the venue is full." Shi Honggang, the producer of Hehuang, said. In the middle and late October, Hehuang will try to tour in nine provinces along the Yellow River.

　　For thousands of years, it has been rushing. Yellow River culture is an important part of Chinese civilization. In China’s 5,000-year history of civilization, the Yellow River Basin has been the national political, economic and cultural center for more than 3,000 years, which has nurtured Hehuang culture, Heluo culture, Guanzhong culture and Qilu culture, distributed in ancient capitals such as Zhengzhou, Xi ‘an, Luoyang and Kaifeng, and produced the "Four Great Inventions" and classic works such as The Book of Songs, Laozi and Historical Records.

　　In 2023, there were several important "100 years" in the cultural history of the Yellow River:

　　At the international academic conference on the centenary of the discovery of Shuidonggou site in August, Gao Xing, a famous archaeologist, said that this was the beginning of Paleolithic archaeology in China, which corrected the assertion that there was no Paleolithic culture in China.

　　The International Forum on the centenary of the discovery of Hetao Man held in Wushenqi, Erdos City, Inner Mongolia in August pointed out that this place is an ancient post station in the history of human development and an important root vein of human civilization.

　　This year marks the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the Lotus Crane Square Pot, the "swan song of the Bronze Age". On August 25th, the centennial unveiling ceremony of bronze relics unearthed from Zhenggong Tomb in Lijialou was held in Xinzheng, Henan. "The Lotus Crane Square Pot shows the long history and profoundness of Chinese civilization, which is of great significance for strengthening cultural self-confidence and inheriting Chinese context." Ren Wei, director of the Henan Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, said.

　　Li Qun, director of National Cultural Heritage Administration, said that major projects such as the Chinese civilization tracing project show that Chinese civilization has undergone changes in time, space, dynasty, social nature, etc., but the form of civilization has not broken, and the civilization has a long history. Agriculture, jade, capital construction and other elements of civilization all show a clear inheritance relationship.

　　In early autumn, on the south bank of Huan River, Yin Ruins greeted tourists from all directions. More than 100 years ago, Oracle Bone Inscriptions was found here, and China believed in prehistory for thousands of years.

　　Oracle bones contain context. Oracle Bone Inscriptions laid the foundation for the method, square shape and development framework of Chinese characters, which has evolved for more than 3,000 years without changing its shape, and has become the spiritual bond of Chinese sons and daughters.

　　Song Zhenhao, a member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that Oracle Bone Inscriptions’s "supplementing history with classics" is the common cultural memory of the Chinese nation.

　　"In ‘ Yin qi Yuan Wen ’ Oracle Bone Inscriptions Big Data Platform, ‘ Great Oracle Bone Inscriptions ’ In addition to the interactive applet, we are studying the automatic conjugation and auxiliary interpretation of Oracle bones through artificial intelligence. " Liu Yongge, director of the Key Laboratory of Information Processing in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, anyang normal University, said.

　　Ren Fengyun will still be full of vitality, and the Yellow River is ancient and evergreen.

　　On September 8th, the "Harmony of Rivers: 2023 Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Week along the Yellow River Basin and the Grand Canal" was launched in Weifang, Shandong. 183 non-legacy projects and 280 non-genetic inheritors participated in the exhibition along the Yellow River and Kowloon Provinces.

　　"Taishan does not let the soil, so it can become a big one; Rivers and seas do not choose small streams, so they can be deep. "

　　The Yellow River culture is transformed and regenerated in the revolutionary tradition.

　　"Two Bombs and One Satellite" Spirit, Long March Spirit, Yan ‘an Spirit, Luliang Spirit, Taihang Spirit, Hongqi Canal Spirit, Jiao Yulu Spirit, Yimeng Spirit … … A big river bears witness to the majestic power of single spark can start a prairie fire, the Communist Party of China (CPC).

　　"send Kunlun five-color flow, a yellow turbidity through Zhongzhou." It is our common belief that the country is inseparable, the country is inseparable, the nation is inseparable, and civilization is inseparable.

　　The Yellow River has nine bends and eighteen bends, and the last bend before entering the sea is laid in Lankao, Henan.

　　When you walk into Xuchang Village, Guyang Town, lankao county, you will see a striking village sign: a giant pipa made of bricks and tiles. Once a national poverty-stricken village, it has become a well-known musical instrument village.

　　Paulownia lankao has loose wood and is not easy to deform, so it is a good material for making national musical instruments. "Since the 1980s, villagers have taken local materials and started to make musical instruments and open music workshops." Xu Yongshun, a village cadre, said that at present, the annual output of guzheng, pipa, guqin and other musical instruments in the village exceeds 100,000.

　　In 2022, Lankao was rated as "the hometown of China’s national musical instruments", and the output value of the national musical instrument industry in the county reached 3 billion yuan, and tens of thousands of people ate "musical instruments".

　　Paulownia is silent, and the rhyme is around the beam. The "Jiao Tong" planted by Jiao Yulu himself has been graceful. This is Lankao’s "Happy Music", which is a Yellow River cultural sonata to help the world.

　　The Yellow River Basin is rich in cultural resources. According to statistics, there are more than 300,000 immovable cultural relics in 9 provinces and regions of the Yellow River Basin, about 900 national intangible cultural heritage representative projects, more than 2,000 national key cultural relics protection units and more than 7,300 provincial cultural relics protection units.

　　For a long time, these cultural heritages have been relatively scattered and independent, and the system and mechanism of cross-regional and multi-sectoral participation are not perfect. It is difficult to unify the interpretation, systematic protection and comprehensive utilization of the Yellow River culture, and it is urgent to need a "grand blueprint".

　　We only have one Yellow River, and the situation of "fighting alone" in the cultural protection of the Yellow River in various places is undergoing fundamental changes.

　　The "14th Five-Year Plan" outlines the construction of national cultural parks such as the Great Wall, the Grand Canal, the Long March and the Yellow River.

　　The Outline of Ecological Protection and High-quality Development Planning of the Yellow River Basin proposes to systematically protect the cultural heritage of the Yellow River, deeply inherit the cultural genes of the Yellow River, tell the story of the Yellow River in the new era, build a cultural tourism belt of the Yellow River with international influence, and plan to build a national cultural park of the Yellow River.

　　Recently, the Protection Plan for the Construction of the Yellow River National Cultural Park was officially issued. This is a major project to further protect, inherit and carry forward China’s excellent traditional culture after the Great Wall, the Grand Canal and the Long March National Cultural Park, and it is a major measure to promote the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin.

　　On April 1st, the Yellow River Protection Law was officially implemented. For the first time, China incorporated the promotion and inheritance of water culture into basin legislation, and incorporated cultural attributes into the connotation of the basin, highlighting the root of Chinese traditional culture in which man and nature coexist harmoniously.

　　"A month of closing the river can lead to Wan Li’s feelings." The culturally confident "Yellow River Chorus" is singing loudly.

　　On September 6, more than a thousand representatives from more than 50 countries and regions gathered in Dunhuang. With the theme of "Connecting the World: Cultural Exchange and Mutual Learning of Civilizations", the 6th Silk Road (Dunhuang) International Cultural Expo opened in Dunhuang.

　　"Chinese civilization has been endless for thousands of years, and one of the important reasons is to constantly communicate with foreign cultures, absorb the advantages and use them for us." Zhao Shengliang, secretary of the Party Committee of Dunhuang Research Institute, said.

　　From "Everyone in Luoyang learns Hu Le" to "Qiang people in Wan Li do their best to sing Chinese songs"; From the frontier ethnic groups’ habit of "top down" and "elegant songs and Confucian clothes" to the prevalence of "top down and trousers" and Hu Yi Hu Mao &hellip in the Central Plains; … Chinese civilization is eclectic and timeless.

　　From "ji zi went to the DPRK" and "Xu Fudong crossed" to Hakka and Heluolang; From Zhang Qian and Gan Ying to the Western Regions, to Kumarajiva and other eminent monks to China. Hu Feng Han Yun, all rivers run into the sea. The Yellow River culture is constantly absorbing nutrition, open and inclusive, which provides a historical model for the exchange of civilizations and mutual learning.

　　On August 15th, the Song and Dance Theater of Gansu Performing Arts Group, Silk Road and Rain, surprised Qingdao, which brought the city tour to a successful conclusion.

　　Over the past 40 years since its premiere, Silk Road Flower Rain has performed more than 3,800 performances in more than 40 countries and regions, with an audience of more than 5 million people, creating a Guinness World Record for dance drama.

　　Music and dance are the common language of human beings. The United Nations issued stamps reflecting the art of the disabled, and the dance "Thousand Hands Guanyin" by the China Disabled Art Troupe was selected. From Rain on Silk Road to Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands, the inspiration comes from Dunhuang, Yungang and Longmen. Grottoes art originated from Tianzhu, which has been carried forward in China, has gone over the Taihang Mountains, the Central Plains and the Yangtze River.

　　"Behind the grottoes is a culture with a distinctive open and inclusive temperament." Song Zhiqiang, secretary general of Datong Ancient City Protection and Restoration Research Association, said.

　　At Longmen Grottoes, seeing the giant Buddha of Lushena staring with a smile, Shang Mugan, the Chargé d ‘affaires of the Malaysian Embassy in China, could not help but sigh: "This is the Mona Lisa in the East!"

　　Kindness and kindness to neighbors, harmony and all nations. From Yao Shunyu’s abdication system, to the "harmony" of Oracle bones and inscriptions in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and then to the concept of "harmony without difference" and "turning an arm into a jade" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Yellow River culture has shaped China and influenced the world with its outstanding peace.

　　This summer, the 2023 "Yellow River Theme Tourism Overseas Promotion Season" was held in cooperation with foreign institutions along the nine provinces and regions of the Yellow River. Through social media platforms such as WeChat, Facebook and photo wall, the number of online views exceeded 150 million, including 120 million overseas views.

　　On the afternoon of July 28th, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference, and Senior Colonel Wu Qian, Director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, answered questions.

　　Reporter: A few days ago, Taiwan’s defense department claimed that PLA fighters had repeatedly crossed the so-called "central line of the Straits", seriously undermining regional peace and stability, and speculated that a PLA warship had recently appeared off the coast of Hualien. According to Taiwan sources, in view of US Senator Scott’s visit to Taiwan, the PLA "obviously released a provocative message". What’s your comment on this?

　　Wu Qian: Taiwan Province is a part of China, and there is no so-called "central line of the Straits" between the two sides. At present, the root of the tense and turbulent situation in the Taiwan Strait is the collusion between the "Taiwan independence" forces and external forces. It is precisely the Democratic Progressive Party authorities that constantly seek "independence" and provocation that undermine peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and it is precisely the external forces that attempt to "contain China with Taiwan".

　　The People’s Liberation Army will never tolerate the separatist acts of "Taiwan independence" and the interference of external forces, and resolutely counter them. Action is the most powerful language. Relevant parties should learn to adapt, learn to reflect, and more importantly, learn to pull back from the brink.
