This report (by reporters Chen Liang and Chen Longshi) states that on August 30, 2026, from 10 to 12 AM, the “Symposium on Remote Sensing Applications and Mazu Culture” was held in the conference room on the fourth floor of the demonstration building of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. The event was hosted by the Science Popularization Branch of the China Remote Sensing Application Association, co-organized by the Beijing Yifa Baiya Cultural and Art Institute and the China Ocean (Beijing) Cultural and Art Institute. The symposium was chaired by Chen Liang, Deputy Director of the Science Popularization Branch of the China Remote Sensing Application Association and Director of the Ideological and Political Center, with an estimated attendance of about 30 people.
On July 17, 2026, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, specifically mentioning “Mazu,” placing this millennium-old maritime cultural symbol within the global technological revolution’s context, which is profoundly significant. The Mazu culture, centered on “virtue, kindness, and great love,” embodies the eternal wish of the Chinese nation to “watch over every household and ensure peace across the seas,” making it one of the most influential cultural IPs in traditional Chinese culture.
Aerospace remote sensing serves as the “eyes and guardian” of contemporary technology—Fengyun satellites observe meteorological changes, disaster satellites detect geological movements, ocean satellites protect vast blue waves, and Beidou navigation guides the way home across the seas. Chinese aerospace professionals use the sky as their canvas and rockets as their pens, safeguarding the tranquility of mountains and rivers and ensuring the well-being of the people from above. Mazu, embodying the spirit of great love, unites people’s hearts, while remote sensing, with its technological power, protects every household. The two transcend time and space, sharing the same spiritual source. This symposium aims to deeply implement the spirit of the General Secretary’s important speech, promoting the cross-border integration of aerospace technology and traditional culture, empowering cultural inheritance with technology, and nurturing the technological mission with culture, exploring new paths for the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional Chinese culture.
It is reported that the agenda of the symposium includes six items: (1) Host Chen Liang introduces the leaders and guests from both sides; (2) Zhang Yizhou, Executive Deputy Director of the China Remote Sensing Application Association, introduces the Science Popularization Branch; (3) Zhang Yu, Senior Consultant of the Science Popularization Branch, delivers a speech; (4) Guests freely exchange ideas; (5) Wei Zheng, Secretary-General of the China Remote Sensing Application Association, gives a concluding speech; (6) Group photo with leaders and guests.
According to the news habits established by this report during the National Two Sessions, this evening, we will quickly broadcast the news of this grand event, aiming for a viewership of over 100,000; starting tomorrow, we will gradually publish the speeches received from the attending leaders and guests, jointly promoting remote sensing applications and Mazu culture. We encourage our readers to continue following our subsequent reports. Thank you all.
