Editor's note:
President Ni Jianzhong attended the online opening ceremony commemorating the 111th anniversary of the birth of "Father of the Chinese Yuan Universe" Qian Xuesen and delivered a speech.
In his speech, President Ni highly respected and praised Qian Xuesen's great contribution to the cause of China Metaverse. Because of Qian Lao's great thought, we have some wisdom to rely on in the process of exploring the integration of metaverse and Chinese traditional culture and philosophy. Qian Lao has built a grand framework for us to follow and pointed out the path forward in the future.
President Ni believes that, like the progress of tools in history, the metaverse is ultimately not a technical issue, but a spiritual and cultural issue.
The metaverse needs the infiltration of Chinese cultural spirit. The space of Chinese culture and the space of metaverse are infinite. The development of metaverse technology and the increasing diversification of terminals have provided the possibility of "realization" for the infinite imagination of Chinese culture, and at the same time, it has also promoted people's further in-depth excavation of Chinese cultural content.
Chairman Ni pointed out that Metaverse may become the best medium for the integration of Eastern and Western cultures.
It is precisely because of this that we can say that the true meaning of Qian Xuesen's Renaissance is not that Chinese culture dominates the world, but the true integration of Eastern and Western science and technology and cultural philosophy, presenting "world harmony".
On December 10, 2022, the Metaverse Industry Working Committee of the China Mobile Communications Federation held an online ceremony to commemorate the 111th birthday of "Father of China's Metaverse" Qian Xuesen and the opening ceremony of the 5th Metaverse Industry Forum.
At the opening ceremony, Ni Jianzhong, executive chairman of the China Mobile Communications Federation, chairman of the Global Metaverse Conference, and co-chairman of the Metaverse Industry Committee, delivered an opening speech for the conference. President Ni took "Global Metaverse and Chinese Cultural Spirit--Why We Should Honor Qian Xuesen as the Father of Metaverse", starting from the fact that Qian Xuesen is the founder and forerunner of Chinese Metaverse and provides the world with the "Chinese solution" of Web3.0 ", the Metaverse may become the best medium for the integration of Eastern and Western cultures, the end of science is metaphysics, and Chinese culture provides the foundation for the Metaverse, starting with five themes to explain that under the spirit of Chinese culture, Qian Xuesen should be respected as the father of the Metaverse the reason. President Ni emphasized that remembering Mr. Qian is because we have some wisdom to rely on in the process of exploring the universe and discovering the profound philosophical thoughts of our ancestors. Mr. Qian built a grand framework for us to follow, and pointed out the way forward in the future. The true meaning of Qian Xuesen's Renaissance is not that Chinese culture dominates the world, but the true integration of Eastern and Western science and technology and cultural philosophy , presenting "world harmony".
Fan Jinpeng, member of the standing committee of the Metaverse Industry Committee, gave a keynote speech on "Qian Xuesen's Dacheng Wisdom and Spiritual Realm Metaverse". Mr. Fan elaborated on Qian Xuesen's ideological system from three sections. Two, the main content of Qian Xuesen's Dacheng Wisdom, and the third, Qian Xuesen's underlying thinking of the metaverse of the spiritual realm. In the chapter on the formation of Qian Xuesen's Dacheng wisdom thought system, Mr. Fan explained Qian's lifelong education and study path, from the education of the family to accept the oriental culture education, to the study of western theories and science and technology after studying in the west, to the study of the two countries after returning to China. The invention and creation of the single star, and later the computer and human sciences gradually formed the Dacheng wisdom thought system. The main content of Dacheng Wisdom includes the world view of understanding the world, "Modern Science and Technology System Map", which also triggered the second renaissance; the methodology of transforming the world, "Qualitative and Quantitative Synthesis Method", which is the comprehensive integration seminar hall; innovative world tools The system "Information Network and Artificial Intelligence" is today's "Metaverse" in the spiritual realm. When it comes to the underlying thinking of the metaverse of the spiritual realm, it includes logical thinking, intuitive thinking and inspirational thinking. Mr. Fan gave a comprehensive explanation of Mr. Qian Xuesen's ideological system in an in-depth and concise manner. The research and study of Qian Xuesen's ideological system was the most profound, which enabled Qian's broad and profound theoretical system to be carried forward.
Su Tong, deputy director of the Metaverse Industry Committee, gave a keynote speech on "Implementing the "2049 Learning" New Knowledge System Project Based on the Qian Xuesen Paradigm". Mr. Su Tong began to think about the definition of "Metaverse" and the Chinese Metaverse, and sorted out a research study The path and context of Qian Xuesen's theory, when others are talking about the origin of "Avalanche", we have already proposed "Please listen to Qian Xuesen in the Yuan Universe". Technology, information network and other modern information technology and artificial intelligence technology, etc., to form an intelligent system combining man and machine. Later, at the "Sharing Conference" hosted by the Metaverse Industry Committee in 2022, Mr. Su put forward the theory of "Qian Xuesen Paradigm". After exploring Qian Lao's Dacheng wisdom system, the following scientific paradigm can be summarized: New Human Paradigm - the combination of man-machine and network Superman; New Space-Time Paradigm - Spiritual Realm Dacheng Wisdom World; New Science and Technology Paradigm - Modern Science and Technology System; New Industry Paradigm - Eighth Industrial Revolution Theory; New Social Paradigm - Conception of World Social Form; New Design Paradigm - Pay Attention to The overall design department and so on, and at the same time advocate everyone to explore more new paradigms. In the end, Teacher Su proposed to take Dacheng Wisdom Education, Dacheng Wisdom Theory, and Dacheng Wisdom Engineering as the development path, and build a science and technology learning with the specific goal of cultivating Qian Xuesen's characteristic talents of "quantitative double understanding, consistent talent between heaven and man". The study of talents and innovation!
Professor Wang Hongji, vice chairman of the Metaverse Industrial Committee, participated in the opening ceremony of the forum through video, and reviewed the thoughts and theories of Qian Lao from the forum last year. Professor Wang Hongji is an alumnus of Qian Lao, and advocated respecting Qian Lao as "Father of the Yuan Universe", and the unanimous response was to add the word "China" and respect Mr. Qian as the "Father of the Yuan Universe of China". He gave pertinent comments and suggestions, such as the long-term use of VR equipment brings discomfort to the human body, the block chain minimizes duplication and energy waste while maintaining its property confirmation characteristics, and technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and 5G The development also needs to be substantially improved. There are many innovations in the metaverse experiential content and shared experience mode. In a nutshell, the current development of the metaverse needs to solve a series of problems, we must see the existence of problems in development realistically, and enrich the cultural content. The metaverse industry needs to build a metaverse economic entity, which is the foundation of a country and the source of wealth.
Chen Xiaohua, deputy chairman of the Metaverse Industry Committee, participated in the opening ceremony via video, and delivered a keynote speech on the theme of "Metaverse Development under the Background of Digital Economy". Starting from "what is the digital economy", Mr. Chen extended the seven key industries involved in the digital economy: big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things, industrial Internet, blockchain, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality, respectively expounded These seven industries can promote the development of industrial clusters. Then, starting from the three elements of the digital economy: digital technology, digital industry, and digital finance, it discusses the redefinition and division of the digitalization process in various fields in the digital era from point to point, and the reorganization of ecology will soon become a big issue today. Hot "metaverse" ecology. The metaverse is actually a major manifestation of the digitalization process. Emphasis is put forward that Metaverse is expected to break the dilemma of the Internet industry: How to find the incremental market from the stock market has become the main problem facing the current Internet industry, and the concept of Metaverse is this breakthrough, because more and more companies realize , the development of Internet technology is not linear, and the result of the combination of multiple technologies can just become the key to the new generation of technological revolution.
This online event kicked off a series of activities commemorating the 111th anniversary of Qian Xuesen's birth by the China Mobile Communications Federation Metaverse Industry Working Committee. Wu Yanfang, executive secretary-general of the Metaverse Industry Committee, presided over the opening ceremony. The Committee held the Metaverse Industry Forum to commemorate the 110th anniversary of Mr. Qian Xuesen's birth, excavated Qian's theory of "Spiritual Realm" and "Great Success Wisdom" and published it on the whole network, setting off an upsurge of learning and disseminating the "Spiritual Realm" Metaverse across the country. It was also the first time at this forum that Qian Xuesen was honored as the "Father of the Chinese Metaverse", and Qian Xuesen's scientific and technological wisdom and contributions were reported and respected throughout the country.
After a lapse of one year, the metaverse industry has made great strides in the development of the country. Numerous top talents in society devote themselves to studying the precious theories of our country's scientific giants while developing their businesses. They do not blindly admire the theories imported from abroad, but carry forward the essence of our country's thoughts and practice them practically.

The following is the full text of Chairman Ni Jianzhong's speech:
The Global Metaverse and the Spirit of Chinese Culture
——Why should we respect Qian Xuesen as the father of the metaverse
Commemorating the 111th anniversary of the birth of Mr. Qian Xuesen, the "Father of the Yuan Universe" in China and the speech of the 5th Yuan Universe Industry Forum
Ni Jianzhong
Executive Chairman of China Mobile Communications Federation
Chairman of the Global Metaverse Conference
Co-chairman of the Metaverse Industry Working Committee of China Mobile Federation
December 10, 2022
Leaders, guests, and friends:
It is a great pleasure to be invited to participate in today's Qian Xuesen commemorative event. First of all, on behalf of the China Mobile Communications Federation and the China Mobile Federation Metaverse Industry Committee, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and sincere welcome to the guests and leaders present.
Qian Xuesen is the founder and forerunner of the Chinese Metaverse
Thirty years ago, the East and the West were developing separately on the origin of the metaverse:
In 1992, Neil Stephenson's science fiction novel "Avalanche" was published, proposing the concept of a new species in the "Metaverse".
However, as early as 1990, Qian Xuesen had paid attention to and injected a strong flavor of Chinese culture into the metaverse, translated the metaverse of virtual reality technology into "spiritual realm", and described the remote touch and distance of "spiritual realm". The scene where we know and are far away.
Qian Xuesen is the first person in modern China to highly integrate Western cutting-edge technology with Chinese traditional philosophy and culture. He predicted the core components of the metaverse very early on, and believed that "spiritual realm" and "great wisdom" could promote China's "great development of science" and "great development of literature and art", and even trigger a "scientific and technological revolution". The Chinese-style metaverse with the concept of spiritual realm and great wisdom is one of his representative achievements.
In China's metaverse, culture comes first, Mr. Qian laid the cultural foundation, and technology comes later. The Chinese metaverse with a cultural foundation will surely accumulate a lot of accumulation, and through a variety of metaverse new terminals and multiple scene entrances, it will show a new metaverse culture that is as wonderful as China's 5,000-year-old splendid culture.
The reason for remembering Qian Lao is that today, in the process of exploring the integration of metaverse and Chinese traditional culture and philosophy, we have some wisdom to rely on.
Qian Lao has built a grand framework for us to follow and pointed out the path forward in the future.
He is the leader.
Therefore, Mr. Qian is well-deserved to be revered as the "Father of the Yuan Universe".
Provide the world with the "Chinese solution" of Web3.0
Compared with Europe and the United States, China's Internet was in a relatively lackluster stage during the period of Web 1.0. In the era of Web 2.0, China's Internet has been deeply integrated into the process of global real economy and trade.
Today, the Internet in the Web3.0 era is roaring, how should the new Metaverse era develop? We hope that the Metaverse will be like the "Internet" 20 years ago, bringing in-depth changes in production and lifestyle, and allowing the integration of physical and information technology to create new miracles.
In this torrent, the metaverse industry, as the integration and extension of the real world and the virtual world, is the carrier of human digital survival and migration. How can Chinese technology companies bridge the gap between data and technology, smoothly globalize, and provide the world with The "China Plan" of Web3.0; in the era of Web3.0 where "everything grows", how to create the next generation on this land that will truly change the way people live and trade, and then give birth to a great company that changes the world...
The new era of metaverse integrates too many expectations, too many industries, too many cultural and philosophical thoughts, it is an all-round, multi-dimensional existence, and it belongs to the whole world and the whole universe of.
Metaverse has the potential to become the best medium for the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures
The west emphasizes science and technology, while the east emphasizes culture and philosophy. Western science and technology are exhaustive, while Eastern cultural philosophy is comprehensive. East and West have their own development paths, such as Chinese and Western medicine. But the metaverse has the potential to become the best medium for the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. Metaverse is an integration of cutting-edge digital technology and cultural wisdom. As the foundation of the world Metaverse, Lingjing technology is the key to promoting my country's "great improvement in creativity", and it is also an important representative of China's scientific and technological power to display traditional Chinese culture. At the same time, Metaverse is also Containing the inclusive spirit of our country's traditional culture, it is a huge space full of imagination, and it is also a compass for future changes in social ecology.
The end of science is metaphysics? The Taoist imagination is highly consistent with the Metaverse
The end of science is metaphysics, which shows that it has begun to approach Taoism and Buddhism.
Chinese culture has infinite creativity and imagination, and the most creative and imaginative is the Taoist culture.
Lu Xun once said: The roots of China all lie in Taoism. Although the meaning of this sentence is controversial, it reveals the secrets of Chinese culture.
The Taoist saying of "a cave and a blessed place" provides us with an infinite imagination similar to the entrance of the metaverse. The imagining of Taoism's heaven and earth has long created a scene of the metaverse.
Mr. Fang Dongmei once compared Taoism to "astronauts": Taoism is an astronaut in the Chinese spirit. You can't be confined in a small corner of the universe, but you must ascend to gallop in the vast void and walk alone.
The legend of Taoist practice and the description of the illusion are highly consistent with the scenes of the Metaverse.
Is the "Yuan Universe" something that Chinese Taoism "left over"? As you can imagine, how many "virtual reality" scenes are revealed in a "Journey to the West"?
Chinese culture provides the foundation for the metaverse
The Renaissance brought Europe out of the dark Middle Ages; and the beginning of the metaverse will bring about a great leap forward in the progress of tools to understand the world.
The metaverse needs the infiltration of Chinese cultural spirit. The big aspect is the outline of philosophy, and the specific aspect can be based on the elements provided by culture to create a metaverse scene that varies from person to person.
Chinese culture provides content, scenes and entrances for the metaverse; Chinese cultural content will be reconstructed and developed due to the development of metaverse technology.
Metaverse is an attempt to display another time and space in three-dimensional space, which fits the imagination of most people that cannot be realized in the real society. For example, to express the unity of man and nature, and the moonlit night on the spring river, there can be countless metaverse versions, showing the spirit of Chinese culture that is innovative and inherited in the new era.
To give an example: Huacheng is a saying in Hinayana Buddhism, that is to say, in order to allow Bodhisattvas on the way of practice to rest, the Buddha transformed into a city for Bodhisattvas to rest and play. Wait until you have recovered your spirit before starting on the road of practice again.
Huacheng is equivalent to virtual reality. The metaverse is the "city of transformation" for human beings to rush towards higher wisdom. Whether the "City of Transformation" of the Yuan Universe is good or not depends on the height, depth, and breadth of culture.
Chinese culture has great inspiration for Metaverse: Thousands of novels and other genre works can be created into virtual reality one by one, and then provide various characters and scene experiences.
Like the progress of tools in history, the metaverse is ultimately not a technical issue, but a spiritual and cultural issue.
A history of Chinese culture is the iterative update of cultural tools and the history of the rebirth of Chinese culture, and the same is true for the metaverse era.
The space of Chinese culture and the space of metaverse are infinite. The development of metaverse technology and the increasing diversification of terminals have provided the possibility of "realization" for the infinite imagination of Chinese culture, and at the same time, it has also promoted people's further in-depth excavation of Chinese cultural content.
Therefore, the metaverse era still needs to draw nourishment from traditional Chinese culture.
Facing the network world of the future, we need to build a responsible metaverse system. We need to incorporate a strong oriental and harmonious philosophy to create a collaborative environment rather than a competitive environment. Therefore, it can also be said that the metaverse is a historical opportunity. This will not be a clash of civilizations, but an integration of civilizations. Through the integration of Eastern and Western cultures, and through the bridge of science and technology, we will jointly launch a profound "cultural renaissance" movement that will spread across the world.
We believe that the future network world should be like what Fei Xiaotong said: "Everyone is beautiful, beauty is beautiful, beauty is shared, and the world is one." That is to say, everyone can find their own value in the future network world System, cooperate with like-minded people to create value together.
In fact, the true meaning of Qian Xuesen's renaissance is not that Chinese culture dominates the world, but the true integration of Eastern and Western science and technology and cultural philosophy, presenting "world harmony".
Finally, on behalf of the Metaverse Industry Working Committee, I wish this event a complete success. In the midst of the international development and trends of the Metaverse, the scientific and technological theoretical achievements of our expert think tanks can be like Qian Xuesen and Qian Lao’s wisdom in the spiritual realm. The advancement of physical technology in the field guides the way and promotes innovation; the scientific and technological achievements of our committee members can be implemented, and they shine in various industries that empower entities in the metaverse, showing the world the level of development of our metaverse civilization. I look forward to working with you to realize the new metaverse world of "Science and Technology for Good" and "Beauty and Beauty"!
thank you all!
