    Jack Ma's net worth increased $2.8bn overnight as Alibaba forecast sales growth that topped every analyst's estimate, despite the fact that China's economy is slowing down.

    Mr. Ma, aged 52 this year, is now the richest person in Asia and 14th wealthiest in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His net worth has climbed $8.5bn this year to $(4)8bn.

    The latest surge came after China's largest e-commerce company forecast 45 to 49 percent revenue(收入) growth in the year ending March, demonstrating how investments beyond online shopping are paying off. Shares in Alibaba, where Mr. Ma is chairman, rose 13 percent to a record high.

    Alibaba and Tencent, which dominate online shopping and social media, respectively have ventured(冒险) deeper into new areas from cloud computing services to streaming music and video as the country's economy slows. Alibaba is capturing more digital advertising spending by incorporating(合并) social elements such as video in its shopping sites.

    Alibaba is holding meetings with investors this week. On Friday, the former English teacher said he wasn't going to discuss corporate forecasts. He took the stage instead to describe how his company had become effectively the world's 22nd largest economy—just after Argentina—in terms of transaction(交易) by never fearing to think big. Mr. Ma, who said Alibaba revises 10-year plans annually, foresaw the company becoming the fifth-largest eventually by 2036 by serving a burgeoning Chinese middle classes, taking advantage of global trade and making use of its valuable data.

    Ma's comments about the evolution of data-driven technology echoed Masayoshi Son, Chairman of Japan's SoftBank. SoftBank—Alibaba's largest shareholder—has invested billions in companies such as ARM with the intention of staking out a leading position in the future Internet of Things.

    “The Internet of Things is going to be big because in the past, machines drink electricity,” Mr. Ma told investors. “In the next 20 years, machines will drink data. In the future, no company, no country, no business can survive without data.”

阅读下面的文字,完成文后各题。

     “元素”一词中的“元”意谓本源、本根,“素”意谓未被分割的基本质素。“中华文化元素”,指中华民族在长期历史进程中铸造的具有中国气派、中国风格、中国韵味的基本质素,如阴阳和谐、五行相生相克、家国天下情怀、民本思想、区别于拼音文字的形义文字等。它们生长发育于中华民族生活方式、思维方式中,蕴藏于中华民族器物文化、制度文化、行为文化、观念文化中,为海内外华人所认同和信守。 

    中华文化的不同级次、不同门类包含着各具个性的元素。如水墨画的书画同源、墨分五色;武术的技艺合一、刚柔相济、讲究武德;园林的天然雅趣、可居可游可赏;民间风俗文化的吉祥、灵动、热烈、圆满;建筑中的“中国红”、中轴线、对称与不对称美等。可见,文化元素绝非神秘存在物,从来都与民族、民间的文化实践相共生,始终附着并体现于器物、制度、风俗之中。中华文化元素之于中华文化事象、文化符号,如魂之附体、影之随形,须臾不可分离。从诸多文化事象、文化符号中,可以提取、揭示中华文化元素的精魂。 

    汉字及汉字文化,是彰显中华文化元素的典型案例。世界上各种文字都从象形文字进化而来,多数文字从象形走向拼音,而汉字则从象形走向表意与表音相结合的“意音文字”。近有学者将汉字归为“拼义文字”,即注重语义拼合的文字:首先创造多个视觉符号作为表达万象世界的基本概念,然后将这些符号组合起来,用小的意义单位拼合成大的意义单位,表达新事物、新概念。自成一格的汉字创发于中国,是世界上仅存的生命力盎然的古文字。它主要传播于东亚,成为东亚诸国物质文化、制度文化、精神文化互动的语文载体。在古代,中国长期是朝鲜、越南、日本等东亚国家的文化供给地;至近代,日本以汉字译介西方文化,成效卓异,日制汉字词中国多有引入。汉字在汉字文化圈诸国所起的作用,相当于拉丁文在欧洲诸国所起的作用。故有学者将汉字称为“东亚的拉丁文”。汉字是中华文化系统中影响最深远广大的文化符号。作为中华文化元素重要内容的汉字,造就了一种具有特殊思维方式和表达方式的文化系统。它区别于印度文化、伊斯兰文化和欧洲文化。汉字文化圈是一个有着强劲生命活力的文化存在,是世界上颇具原创性和传承力的文化圈之一。 

    内蕴于文化事象、文化符号的中华文化元素并非凝固不变、自我封闭的系统,而具有历史承袭性、稳定性,因而是经典的。它同时具有随时推衍的变异性、革命性,因而又是时代的。北京奥运会开幕式上表演的四大发明、上海世博会中国馆采用的“中国红”,皆为古老的中华文化元素在现代的展现。中华文化元素也是在世界视野观照下、在与外域元素相比较中得以彰显的,故是民族的也是国际的、是中国的也是世界的。美国好莱坞动画片《功夫熊猫》《花木兰》演绎中华文化元素并获得成功,便是一个例证。 

    中华文化元素是构建当代中华文化的基本成分之一,是塑造国家形象、提升国民精神的重要资源。开掘并弘扬中华文化元素,有助于加深中华文化对国人的感召力、亲和力,促使人们增强历史敬畏感和时代使命感、提升民族自信心和传承创新中华文化的自觉性。此外,通过发掘蕴含着中华文化元素的文化事象、文化符号,彰显可亲可敬的中国风格,并将其传播给异域受众,可以推动中国文化走出去。
