When
HarmonyOS, the Chinese self-developed operating system (操作系统) for Huawei mobile phones, appeared on Aug 9, it quickly became a
hot topic on social media. Many believe it not only means the rising power of
our country's technology, but also shows respect to classical Chinese culture
by naming the system "Hongmeng" in Chinese.
"Hongmeng"
is a word from the ancient book Zhuangzi. It was used to describe the original
state (原始状态) of the universe (宇宙) before the material came into shape. For HarmonyOS,
"Hongmeng" shows that the developers want to make a new operating
system, different from any other. Besides "Hongmeng", Huawei has also
owned many of its products (产品) under the names of
legendary creatures from traditional Chinese folk stories, such as
"Qilin", a lucky monster and "Kunpeng", an animal that
changed from a fish into a large bird. Many Chinese Internet users and media
have spoken highly of Huawei's use of these names because they carry Chinese
wisdom and ancient people's imagination.
In fact,
Huawei is not alone in using traditional culture or modern business. Ne Zha,
the new film, also connects traditional culture with modern elements (元素) successfully. It became the biggest surprise this summer. It
tells a different story of Ne Zha-he is a devil (恶魔) born into a loving family
and becomes a hero in the end.
Although
Ne Zha's appearance in this film is strange and kind of ugly with scary teeth
and heavy dark circles around his eyes, his spirit of trying to control his own
life greatly encourages young people to fight for their bright future.
Indeed,
the long history and a large number of classic works have given China a
colorful culture. Myths and legends like Nv
Wa Repairs the Sky and Hou Yi shoots
the Suns are the creative works of imagination. After all, imagination is
the beginning of creation.
