How to solve the problem of foot sand after playing on the beach？ Xiamen seaside shower raiders attack

2024年3月2日 | admin | D4
[News Page-Taihai Net]

　　■ A footbath is set up near the beach in the waters around the East China Sea, which is convenient for citizens and tourists to wash off the sand on their feet after playing.

　　■ Foot bath pool near Haiyuntai.

　　■ Foot-washing pool in front of public toilets in Binhai Romantic Line.

　　■ The footbath beside Huangcuo Beach.

　　According to the Xiamen Evening News, the most annoying thing about going to the seaside is that you are covered with gravel but have nowhere to wash. Two years ago, the reporter visited many beaches in our city, and found that some of them had shower places, while others did not. Recently, the reporter visited again and found many changes. I will sort them out in detail today to provide you with service reference.

　　Baicheng sandy beach

　　Public toilets are hard to find.

　　Paid shower advertisements can be seen everywhere.

　　Recently, the reporter came to Baicheng Beach, which has convenient transportation and good sunset scenery, and has always been one of the attractions that many tourists must punch in. On the way from the parking lot of Hulishan to the beach, billboards of "washing feet and taking a shower" can be seen everywhere, which are basically clearly marked: washing feet once in 2 yuan and bathing in 10 yuan. The reporter observed that these operators basically pulled out a water pipe and opened their business to provide services. A service point near the beach, foot washing business is very hot, and it also sells drinks business.

　　There is a public toilet between Baicheng Beach and Hulishan Fort, but it is hard to find. You need to go through the small door and walk through multiple steps. You can only find it after passing through several paid shower points. Only a very small sign is seen along the way, indicating that the public toilet needs to go 30 meters ahead. The public toilet is adjacent to Hulishan Battery Bus Station, with the words Tourist Toilet in Hulishan Battery Scenic Area written on the side. It is open to the public from 7: 00 am to 7: 00 pm. In previous years, when reporters came here for an interview, there were three hand-washing pools and two foot-washing pools outside the door. This time, I found that the foot-washing pools and hand-washing pools were gone and replaced by several pots of green plants.

　　When the reporter arrived, it was 7: 02 pm. At this time, the public toilet was closed, and several tourists at the door seemed very helpless. Mr. Zheng, a tourist, said: "The setting of this public toilet is too unreasonable. It took me a long time to find it, but it was closed after I found it. I just wanted to wash my hands. Isn’t this driving people to the business?" Ms. He, a tourist, said, "I’ve been holding back for a long time, but it’s such a situation that I can’t hold back."

　　Mr. Li, a citizen, lives nearby. He said that there were indeed several footbath pools with unlimited time in the past, but people often come here to take a bath naked at night, which is really unsightly. In addition, some people carry buckets to steal water, which may be because of this. It was demolished. "But managers can’t dismantle things at once, and should consider the actual use needs of citizens and tourists. It should be changed to a managed public toilet, and the service should be humanized. "

　　Yefengzhai area

　　Easy to wash, there is a public toilet every few hundred meters.

　　Go along the road around the island, and you can see the public toilet sign indicating the distance on the roadside every walk. Generally, there is a public toilet every five or six hundred meters. In some areas where tourists are concentrated, such as Yefengzhai, there are two public toilets within 200 meters. Every public toilet is kept clean and maintained by the administrator, and there are free footbath pools at the door, ranging from 4 faucets to more than 10 faucets. The reporter turned on one of the faucets at random and found that they all worked normally, and the water was quite large, which could easily wash away the sediment on the body.

　　Mr. Li’s family is from Longyan. They are very happy while washing the sand and watching the scenery by the sea. Mr. Li said: "Going out to play is to choose a place with complete infrastructure, especially go on road trip, where parking is convenient and facilities are complete, and playing is really enjoyable."

　　Next to the public toilet of Yefengzhai Ocean Science Park, there is also a privately contracted shower equipment. The reporter saw that there were five independent shower rooms in the shower room, equipped with water heaters, air conditioners and other equipment. Ms. Chen, the administrator, said: "The price of washing is 10 yuan, an adult and a child in 15 yuan. People often come here to take a shower after swimming on holidays."

　　Wuyuanwan beach

　　Demand exceeds supply. Tourists huddle in front of the sink.

　　There are several public toilets around Wuyuan Bay Beach. The reporter found that, like two or three years ago, these public toilets were still not equipped with flushing equipment, and some green belt water pipes that had been used by tourists for flushing were also blocked.

　　The public toilet B064 is the closest to the beach, between the beach and the parking lot, between the footbridge and the bus stop, with a superior geographical position, and there are many citizens and tourists coming in and out. There is not much space in this public toilet, and there is only a sink. In order to use water, tourists huddle together. There is a sign standing beside it, which says: Please don’t wash your feet in the sink. Someone turned a blind eye and still put his feet in the sink to wash. Some people are more gentle and use mineral water bottles to catch water and wash their feet, but the ground is covered with sand and water.

　　Mr. Chen, a citizen, often exercises nearby. He said that this public toilet has a good location and receives hundreds of people almost every day. It is estimated that there are thousands of people on weekends. "Some people even carry their children to the table for cleaning, and the sediment rushes into the pool, which is easy to cause blockage, and the ground is often dirty."

　　Master Wang, the administrator, said: "Even if you keep mopping the floor, you can’t keep up with the speed of dirt. I hope to set up a foot bath as soon as possible, otherwise this situation will be difficult to improve. "

　　Binhai romantic line

　　Well-equipped, washing feet, showering and changing clothes are not a problem

　　The coastal romantic line around the East China Sea has been popular among citizens and tourists in recent years. Walking all the way along the seaside, the reporter found that you can find a public toilet every few hundred meters here. Some public toilets use gender-free toilet seats, some are single-family rooms, and the design is quite innovative. Some toilets are also equipped with spraying equipment. Because of the large area of a single room, it is not a problem to simply shower and change clothes. There are foot-washing pools and hand-washing pools outside the toilet, so visitors can get what they need.

　　Mr. Wu, a citizen, said: "The facilities of Binhai Romantic Line are complete, but there is still a lack of washing facilities at the seaside from Jimei Qiaotou to Langhua Gate of Romantic Line, hoping to increase the construction."

　　Rainbow Beach on the Romantic Line of Binhai is one of the popular places to visit. When the reporter came here in the evening, the beach was full of people playing with the sea. The reporter noticed that in this area, in addition to the public toilets, there is a foot bath pool. In addition, there is a foot bath pool every two or three hundred meters between the two public toilets, and there is also a direct water dispenser next to the foot bath pool. According to the reporter’s observation, the foot bath pool and the public toilet cooperate with each other, which relieves the dense flow of people on the beach and reduces the pressure on the public toilet.

　　[Reminder]

　　Orderly queuing and civilized flushing

　　The administrator of Wuyuanwan shower facilities told the reporter that the quality of citizens and tourists who use washing equipment has improved a lot compared with the past, and some people are not very civilized. It is hoped that citizens and tourists will be able to do civilized washing and orderly queuing when using washing facilities; Turn off the faucet in time after use to reduce the waste of water resources; Turn down the water flow to avoid splashing on others; Take good care of the facilities.

After the peak of mycoplasma pneumonia in children, adults started again？ Special reminder from experts

2024年2月29日 | admin | D4
At the specialist clinic of respiratory and critical care medicine in Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital, Aunt Zheng, who is over 60 years old, just walked for a while, her face turned slightly red and she was a little wheezing. "I came back from a trip a few days ago and started to have a fever and cough." Three days ago, she went to the emergency room and was diagnosed with mycoplasma pneumonia.
In the outpatient department of the hospital, there are still many patients whose families have been "recruited", with fever and cough, and in serious cases, they have been hospitalized because of pneumonia. After the peak of mycoplasma pneumonia in children, adults also started?
Song Xiaolian, chief physician of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of Shanghai Tenth Hospital, said that the infection situation of adults and children is basically synchronous, and the data of both of them have declined slightly at present. The temperature has plummeted these days, so keep warm and beware of a possible new round of respiratory diseases.
Elderly patients have fever, cough and pneumonia after returning from tourism.
On November 14th, an "old patient" came into Song Xiaolian’s expert clinic. Three days ago, Aunt Zheng went to the emergency room because of fever and cough. The examination showed that it was mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, which caused lobular pneumonia and asthma.
After two or three days of infusion treatment, her fever has gone down, but the symptoms of cough and asthma have not been effectively alleviated. Worried about the aggravation of asthma, she quickly hung up the expert clinic she had seen before.
Aunt Zheng had asthma since she was a child. She wanted to travel, but she was afraid of asthma attack. She never dared to leave Shanghai. Seven or eight years ago, after minimally invasive interventional surgery under bronchoscope, her asthma has been well controlled and her overall physical quality has been greatly improved. So she often goes out to visit great rivers and mountains and has not been hospitalized for asthma for several years.
Some time ago, she went out for another trip, but she didn’t expect to be "recruited" when she came back. At first, I had a slight fever, and then I kept coughing, and I even gasped when I walked a little faster. After a detailed examination by the doctor, she was hospitalized for a period of time.
Among the patients who came to see a doctor in the near future, many families have been "recruited" and found to be mycoplasma pneumonia after examination.
In the outpatient clinic, as soon as Ms. Liu came in, she told the doctor, "My old man and children coughed and had a fever a few days ago, and they just happened, so I started again."
Song Xiaolian introduced that, generally speaking, Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is not as severe as the systemic symptoms of influenza, and the symptoms of upper respiratory tract are not as obvious as the common cold, especially cough and sore throat. In the early stage, it is irritating dry cough, and in the later stage, it will appear white sticky phlegm, which will develop into mycoplasma pneumonia in severe cases, especially for the elderly and children who have difficulty in expectoration, and it is easy to cause lobar pneumonia due to phlegm embolism blocking the airway.
After the peak of mycoplasma pneumonia in children, adults started again?
Not long ago, the topic of "mycoplasma pneumonia in children" frequently appeared in hot search. Affected by mycoplasma pneumoniae, influenza virus, adenovirus and other common pathogens in autumn and winter, in the past two months, the pediatrics of various children’s specialized hospitals and general hospitals in Shencheng continued to explode, especially children with mycoplasma pneumonia occupied more than 80% of the beds in the children’s respiratory ward.
Recently, the number of fever clinics and emergency departments in major children’s specialized hospitals in Shanghai began to decline. The number of fever clinics and emergency departments in Shanghai Children’s Medical Center affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine has dropped by 40% compared with the peak at the beginning of the month.
After the peak of mycoplasma pneumonia in children, the concern about adult’s "recruitment" has been increasing. Have adults also begun to enter the peak of infection?
Song Xiaolian said that in fact, the infection situation of adults and children is basically synchronized. Many adult patients have children at home. After the children are infected, they are transmitted to other people in the family, and some are infected after going out to play.
"At present, both adults and children have declined slightly. According to the data, when there was no respiratory epidemic, our daily average number of general outpatients was about 180, which was more than 300 at the peak some time ago, and now it is more than 260 after the peak falls. Generally speaking, compared with adults, children have a higher proportion of pneumonia and have more severe symptoms of high fever. Of course, some patients may have negative mycoplasma antigen antibody test, but the symptoms and images are typical and can still be treated empirically. "
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a very common pathogen of respiratory tract infection, which exists all the year round, with a small fluctuation every few years, and there are also sporadic cases. Like other respiratory diseases, autumn and winter and seasonal weather changes are high season. Recently, in addition to the prominent mycoplasma pneumonia, there are also many patients with influenza and common cold in outpatient and emergency departments.
Beware of the new peak of respiratory diseases after the sudden drop of temperature.
These days, the temperature in Shencheng has plummeted, will there be a new round of peak medical treatment? According to Song Xiaolian’s experience, it is indeed possible to see a new peak of respiratory diseases.
Under normal circumstances, there are not many patients who come to see a doctor when the temperature drops, but the number of patients who come to see a doctor after a week of cooling will increase significantly. However, the weather forecast shows that the temperature in Shencheng will increase later this week, and the situation will be relatively better.
"It is expected that patients who come to see a doctor later will have mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, flu, common cold, etc., and may also be complicated with infection, so keep warm when cooling down and don’t catch cold. For the elderly, especially those with chronic bronchitis, asthma or bronchiectasis, cooling often leads to sudden aggravation of diseases, and even respiratory failure in severe cases. Therefore, we don’t advocate that the elderly go out to exercise early in the winter. We suggest going out after eight or nine in the morning. It’s too cold in the morning. If there is air pollution, it is recommended to switch to indoor exercise, and you can do aerobic exercise, breathing exercises, and playing Tai Ji Chuan. "
How to prevent the high-incidence season? Song Xiaolian introduced that Mycoplasma pneumoniae is mainly transmitted by droplets, so wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, and ventilate frequently. Don’t go to crowded places, and don’t have close contact with patients with respiratory diseases to enhance their resistance and keep warm. At present, there is no vaccine against mycoplasma, but other respiratory diseases are also high in autumn and winter. It is recommended to vaccinate against swine flu and pneumonia vaccine.
If you are accidentally "recruited", there is no need to panic. She especially reminded that mycoplasma infection is a self-limited disease. For adults with good resistance, take a good rest, even if they are not treated, they will recover after a while. People with poor immunity and severe symptoms should be treated in time.
It is important to pay special attention to that if people are allergic diseases, such as allergies, asthma, etc., mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is easy to induce intractable cough, so it is necessary to see a doctor in time. In addition, the symptoms of pneumonia in the elderly are often atypical, but the more silent they are, the more serious they are. If the elderly have drowsiness, listlessness, or complications, they should see a doctor in time. (Note: All patients in the text are pseudonyms)

Students who implement running App in a university in Wuhan can pass only after running for 30 times.

2024年2月28日 | admin | D4

　　Zhongxin. com, Wuhan, November 2 (Wang Youzhe, Lin Xinyi, Fu Chengcheng) Recently, Hubei University of Economics launched a running App among freshmen to juniors. According to the regulations, students who have run for 30 times will pass. For each additional time, the effective score will be added with 3 points until 100 points. If the substitute runner is found, it will be treated as cheating and the file will be recorded.

　　Cui Gaoyuan, vice president of the School’s Sports school of economics and management, said that the scores of freshmen and sophomores using App for running and punching cards accounted for 30% of this semester’s sports scores, and juniors can only participate in the physical fitness test if their scores using App for running and punching cards reach the standard of passing or above. Students have at most one exercise record every day, which is related to sports achievements, and the excess part is only recorded but not related to achievements.

　　Cui Gaoyuan said that the purpose of linking the punch card score with the final sports score is to encourage students to get out of the dormitory, strengthen exercise, cultivate students’ healthy concept of loving sports and advocating sports, form good exercise habits and improve their physical fitness.

　　Students can check the map and choose the best route to the distribution point according to the site conditions. Photo by Huang Siqi

　　"I used to exercise very little. Since the school implemented the running APP, everyone is running and unconsciously wants to run two steps." Huang Ziwei, a freshman at the school, said that he insisted on punching cards every day and his running enthusiasm was much stronger than before.

　　It is worth noting that the school has also formulated an effective standard for single exercise. Boys should run for 1 km at a time, and the running pace should be within the range of 3-9min/km. If a girl’s running mileage reaches 0.8 km at a time and her running pace is within the range of 3-9min/km, her performance will be effective. Cui Gaoyuan said that the introduction of this regulation is mainly to ensure the safety of students, and secondly to achieve sports effects.

　　Huang Siqi, a sophomore in the school of finance, said that under this sports standard, you can complete punching as long as you walk faster. However, she also said that this punching APP has a task nature and may affect the quality of sports.

　　In this regard, Cui Plateau said that in the background, every time the APP is used to run and punch in, it is set to "random allocation", in order to reduce or even avoid the phenomenon of running on behalf of others. In addition, the school will also conduct supervision through inspection teams, student reports, and big data comparison analysis. If students are found to have "violation of discipline" such as running on behalf of others, once verified, they will be dealt with as cheating in the exam and recorded. (End)

Price increase, high-end, investment in China … We read these keywords in the financial reports of international beauty giants.

2024年2月19日 | admin | A1

Reporter | Zhou fangying

Edit | Louchanqin

Recently, L ‘Oreal, Estee Lauder, Shiseido, Amore Pacific and other beauty industry giants have released financial reports, from which we can get a glimpse of the future changes in the beauty market.

China market, with its vast territory and rapid development, was once a bright spot in the financial reports of international beauty giants, and even became the second center of the whole group outside the local market. However, in the past year, due to the epidemic, offline retail performance was not satisfactory, consumer confidence decreased, and the overall performance of the beauty market in China was not good.

According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2022, the total domestic retail sales of cosmetics was 393.6 billion yuan, down 4.5% year-on-year. This is also the first time that the total retail sales of cosmetics has experienced negative growth in the past 10 years.

This trend is also directly reflected in the financial report of the beauty group which regards China as its core market.

In the six months to December 31, 2022, Estee Lauder’s total revenue dropped by 14% year-on-year, and its net profit halved. The financial report pointed out that it was mainly due to the obvious impact of the epidemic on the Asia-Pacific tourism retail, especially the mainland market in China.

Coincidentally, in 2022, the net profit of Amore Pacific Construction Group, which is still not out of the shadow of the epidemic, nearly halved, down 48.9% year-on-year, and its revenue also dropped by 15.6%. Under the strong performance of double-digit growth in North America and Europe, 60% of the sales in the Asia-Pacific region came from the China market, and the revenue in the China market, which became a burden, fell by 30%.

Although Shiseido Group maintained net sales and core operating profit growth of 5.7% and 20.6% respectively in 2022, its net profit returned to its mother declined by 27.1%. Among them, the revenue of the two pillar markets in Japan and China decreased by 8.2% and 6% year-on-year. However, China market continues to be the largest market of the Group with a share of 24.2% of the Group’s total revenue.

Under a downward trend, only the L ‘Oré al Group has outstanding performance.

L ‘Oré al Group released its 2022 financial report, which showed that its revenue increased by 18.5% year-on-year, and still increased by 23.4% compared with 2019, and its net profit increased by 24.1%. Among them, North Asia’s revenue increased by 14.8% year-on-year, and China’s online sales increased by double digits despite the epidemic. Especially in the field of high-end beauty, the market share of L ‘Oré al China exceeds 30%.

Although the overall performance of the China market was poor last year, the above-mentioned beauty groups are still optimistic about the future possibilities after the China market recovers, and actively invest more in new development directions.

Shiseido Group predicts that the annual sales in China market will increase by 8% in 2023. At the same time, Shiseido Group stated in its latest medium-term strategy "SHIFT 2025 and Beyond" that it will expand its brand portfolio and develop new fields in China.

In fact, Shiseido has been laid out from these two aspects since last year. In August, 2022, after completing the relevant regulatory filing, Ziyue Fund, which was exclusively funded by Shiseido China, invested nearly 100 million yuan for the first time to lead the investment in Jiangsu Chuangjian Medical Technology Co., Ltd., a collagen biomaterial enterprise. In the same year, INRYU, the law of oral beauty brand flow, and SIDEKICK, a men’s skin care brand, officially entered the China market.

In addition to the main business of skin care products and cosmetics, Amore Pacific is also interested in introducing new brands to find new growth points. In December, 2022, Amore Pacific Construction Group said that she would revive GoutalParis, a French perfume brand acquired eleven years ago, and planned to introduce it into the China market.

Perfume fragrance is undoubtedly a hot track in China beauty market in recent two years. The rise of local brands such as Watching Summer and Wenxian DOCUMENTS, as well as the opening of overseas high-end perfumes such as L’Artisan and Penhaligon’s by Artisan prove that there is still considerable room for growth in this segment.

It is worth mentioning that last year, L ‘Oré al also targeted the development of local fragrance field in China. In September 2022, Shanghai Meicifang Investment Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of L ‘Oré al China, announced a minority investment in Wenxian DOCUMENTS. This is also the first venture capital investment of the American side in China since its establishment in early May 2022.

Like Shiseido’s strategy, in addition to local investment, L ‘Oré al Group also introduced a new French luxury cinema brand Carita CARIDAE in August 2022. At present, the brand has opened one boutique in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Nanjing.

L ‘Oré al is also deepening the construction of local upstream supply chain. In October of the same year, L ‘Oré al expanded Suzhou Shangmei factory, its clean workshop was officially opened, and the intelligent operation center also broke ground.

In August, 2022, Estee Lauder introduced the hair care brand Aveda to China, and also strengthened the construction of local teams from the upstream supply chain and domestic tax-free channels.

In December 2022, Estee Lauder China Innovation R&D Center was opened in Shanghai. As early as 2005, Estee Lauder R&D Center was established in Shanghai, and was upgraded to Asia-Pacific R&D Center of the Group in 2011. The upgraded China Innovation R&D Center will become an integral part of the group’s R&D network covering Asia, North America and Europe.

Recently, Estee Lauder also announced the establishment of Estee Lauder Tourism and Retail Services (Hainan) Co., Ltd., and the headquarters of the group’s tourism and retail in China will be located in Hainan Free Trade Port. This may help Estee Lauder coordinate and control the huge price difference between tax-free channels and tax-paid channels. For example, according to Xiaohongshu netizens, Estee Lauder in Hainan recently launched a 40% discount on small brown bottles. In the case that the regular price of 100ml small brown bottles in Tmall flagship store is 1870 yuan, two bottles in Hainan duty-free channel only need 756 yuan.

For these beauty groups that have been rooted in China for a long time, the challenge of the China beauty market after a cold rejuvenation is still not small. In order to make up for the lost profits, price increase has become the most direct strategy for many brands to increase their income in the short term. Many international beauty brands, such as Estee Lauder, Lancome, Chanel, Dior and Guerlain, have raised the prices of their products since February 1st.

To sum up, it is the common strategy of international beauty group in China at this stage that high-end brands continue to pay a premium to improve their profit margins, new brands explore growth opportunities in sub-sectors and build local supply chains.

From January to New Year’s Eve, what about our festivals and oral folklore？

2024年2月1日 | admin | D4
Cover journalist Li Yuxin
"The sound of firecrackers is one year old, and the spring breeze warms Tu Su." When I heard that this poem began to appear frequently, it goes without saying that the pace of the Lunar New Year is not far away. Looking forward to it for a year, the Spring Festival, which belongs to the most grand traditional festival of China people, is just around the corner.
In the old days, there was a proverb in Chengdu, which was called "carrots are sweet and sweet, and it is necessary to celebrate the New Year when you see them." In fact, for the old Chengdu people, the "New Year" clock has already rung when they enter the twelfth lunar month, that is, the twelfth lunar month. For more than a month before and after the Spring Festival, ordinary people spent it in an atmosphere full of rich flavor of the year and lively joy. From the Laba Festival on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, to the "small year" on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and then to the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, "it took Chengdu people more than a month to finish the New Year, and the content of the Spring Festival was very rich." In the description of folklore expert Liu Xiaochang, the joyful and lively flavor of the year seems to reverberate through time and space.
Folk expert Liu Xiaochang
Don’t blame strict and strict, spring and winter pay in the first month.
Slight cold January 5 (the third day of the twelfth lunar month)
Slight cold, the penultimate solar term among the 24 solar terms, is also the fifth solar term in winter. According to "twenty-four solar term", "On the December Festival, the cold at the beginning of the month is still small, so the clouds are big." It shows that slight cold means cold air accumulated for a long time, which means that the weather is cold but not yet extreme. Like great cold, slight summer heat, great summer heat and summer heat, it is a solar term indicating the change of temperature.
The arrival of the slight cold solar terms also means that the coldest time of the year has arrived. According to Liu Xiaochang, as far as Chengdu is concerned, the temperature in the mild cold season is actually lower than that in the severe cold season. "Therefore, there is a saying that a slight cold is better than a great cold. However, whether it is cold or not in the slight cold season in Chengdu does not depend on the solar terms. What is important is to see whether the cold air is strong. "
In this season, walking in the streets and lanes of Chengdu, I suddenly smell a touch of dark fragrance. Don’t doubt that this is the wintersweet that is proudly open and fragrant in the cold winter. "In the slight cold season, Chengdu can be described as a fragrant city." At this time, flower farmers from Gaodianzi in the eastern suburbs, Flower Zhaobi and Baihuatan in the western suburbs, Phoenix Mountain in the northern suburbs and other places, carrying flower baskets and pushing floats, peddling wintersweet along the street …
"For thousands of years, Chengdu people have loved plum blossoms." Liu Xiaochang said that during the Southern Song Dynasty, the poet Lu You lived in Chengdu and wrote a poem "Plum Blossom Jueju", in which he wrote, "When I traveled to the west of Jincheng City, I was drunk for plum blossoms. Twenty miles of incense, Qingyang Palace to Huanhuaxi ". It can be seen that at that time, Chengdu people loved plum blossoms.
The wind and the meaning of the twelfth lunar month have been in spring, and when it is scattered, it has passed my neighbor.
January 10th of Laba Festival (the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month)
Labazhou (Tuyuan Network)
When it comes to Laba Festival, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the warm and delicious Laba porridge that night. In Liu Xiaochang’s description, the "New Year" of Chengdu people in the old days began from Laba Festival, which is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. "In the old days, on the day of Laba Festival, every household in Chengdu cooked Laba porridge, sacrificed ancestors and had family reunion. Everyone in the family eats a bowl of Laba porridge and presents it to relatives and friends to celebrate the family in this form. "
Laba porridge, also known as "seven treasures and five flavors porridge", "Buddha porridge" and "everyone’s rice", is a kind of porridge made of various ingredients. As early as the Song Dynasty, there were written records about Laba porridge. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Wu Zimu’s "Meng Liang Lu" contained: "On the eighth day of this month, the temple was called Laba. Temples such as Dasha have five-flavor porridge called Laba porridge. " Therefore, the history of drinking Laba porridge has been thousands of years.
Liu Xiaochang said that the ingredients of Laba porridge are exquisite. The ingredients for cooking Laba porridge are mostly cereals such as rice, glutinous rice, coix seed and millet, as well as beans such as red beans, soybeans, rice beans, mung beans and kidney beans, or cooked with dried fruits such as red dates, peanuts, coix seed, lotus seeds, chestnuts, walnuts, longan, ginkgo and almonds. "This pot of porridge is very rich in ingredients. In fact, there are far more than eight kinds. How to cook it depends mainly on the family’s family scenery and the income."
The old snow has not disappeared yet, and the new snow has a family.
January 20th of the Great Cold (the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month)
As the folk saying goes, "A slight cold and a great cold, there is no wind and it is cold" and "A slight cold and a great cold, and it is cold in a ball". It can be seen that in the severe cold season, the weather has been extremely cold. Because of the severe cold solar terms, it is generally in the period of "March 9th".
In ancient times, there was no accurate weather forecast, and people passed it on from mouth to mouth, and invented a folk method to calculate the dates of cold days and warm flowers in spring, called "Counting Nine". According to the folk algorithm, the number nine is counted from the date of the 24 solar terms "Winter Solstice", and every nine days is counted as a "nine", and so on. Generally speaking, "March 9th" is the coldest time in a year. There is a saying that "3949, pigs and dogs freeze to death". When you count to nine "nine days", that is, when you count to 9981 days, it will be deep in spring and warm in the day.
The Great Cold is the last of the 24 solar terms. After the severe cold, it will be beginning of spring, and people will usher in the solar cycle of the new year. Because the New Year’s Day is just around beginning of spring, the new year’s flavor is getting stronger when the cold comes. As a result, the customs of the great cold solar terms are mostly related to the Lunar New Year. People "sweep the dust" and "paste the windows", get rid of old cloth and new ones, clean up and wait for the arrival of the new year. At the same time, we should also "go to the market" to buy La Worship supplies and buy new year’s goods.
In addition to the spring thunder in the dark, the snow is not over yet.
Off-year January 2526 (Lunar December 23-24)
As soon as the new year arrives, people are busy sweeping dust and offering sacrifices to stoves. Off-year has always been regarded as the beginning of a "busy year". Due to the different customs in the north and south, the days called "off-year" are different, usually on the 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month. "On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Chengdu people shouted off-year, and on this night, Master Kitchen God was sent to heaven. Every household in Chengdu has to offer sacrifices to the kitchen stove, that is, to the kitchen god. " Liu Xiaochang said.
Yao Wenhan in Qing Dynasty’s Celebration of the New Year’s Eve
Folk sacrificial stoves originated from the ancient custom of worshipping fire. The kitchen god’s duty is to take charge of the kitchen fire and manage the diet. Later, it was expanded to investigate the good and evil in the world, so as to reduce good and evil. The Ci of Sacrificing a Kitchen by Fan Chengda in the Song Dynasty: "According to the ancient legend, on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the kitchen ruler spoke to the sky … and sent you to the Tianmen to get drunk. Don’t go back to the clouds, begging for profit from the market."
"According to folklore, the kitchen god of every household in the past was sent to earth by the Jade Emperor to protect and observe the good and evil of this family. Seeing how many good deeds and evil deeds this family has done in this year, Kitchen God should remember them one by one. On the night of the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God will go to heaven and tell the Jade Emperor what this family has done in the past year, so as to bring misfortune and happiness. " Liu Xiaochang said, therefore, it is especially necessary to be cautious on this day, especially to warn your own dolls not to swear, so as not to be unclear.
The roar of firecrackers, the old one year has passed; The warm spring breeze came to the new year, and people drank happily the newly brewed tu su wine.
January 31st, New Year’s Eve (29th day of the twelfth lunar month)
When New Year’s Eve arrives, it means that the old year is over and the new year is replaced. Because New Year’s Eve often falls on the 29th or 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, it is also called New Year’s Eve. But this year’s New Year’s Eve, not on New Year’s Eve. As early as more than ten days ago, the topic # Spring Festival in 2022 has no 30th anniversary # on the hot search. According to astronomical experts, this is mainly related to the "Shuowangyue". The change of the moon is called a Shuowangyue once a week, with an average period of 29.5 days. It happens that the twelfth lunar month is a small moon in 2022, so there is no 30. But experts say that as long as the first day of the first month is still there, the night before is New Year’s Eve.
Qing Leng Mei’s "Spring Scene"
On New Year’s Eve, the most important thing for China families is the reunion dinner. For the old Chengdu people, it is no exception. "In fact, since the twelfth lunar month, every household in Chengdu has begun to prepare. Even people who have no money should try their best to cut a few kilograms of fresh meat and make some bacon to hang on the stove. Some people are very capable, making their own cakes, steaming rice cakes and making candy. " Liu Xiaochang described it.
"A meal to send the old age, spicy fresh food miscellaneous a few feast. Happy to be in the sky, a family size and reunion. " In the past, there was a Zhuzhi poem written in Chengdu, which is a true portrayal of the Chengdu People’s League Year. Of course, besides the reunion dinner, there are many traditional customs on New Year’s Eve, such as offering sacrifices to ancestors, putting up Spring Festival couplets, hanging New Year pictures in stick grilles, guarding the old age, and giving lucky money … The heads of families sit around a table and watch the children happily receive the red envelopes. The New Year’s Eve on the table is full of red couplets and window grilles. For Chinese people, a year’s hard work should be for the reunion and warmth of this moment.

The stolen car was stolen and sold repeatedly, which led to the ＂Zhengdian Gang＂ of the evil forces.

2024年1月31日 | admin | C3

　　Cctv news (Reporter Li Wenliang) Selling a car and then having it stolen, even a car was sold for three times. Recently, the police in Jinan, Shandong Province lasted for half a year, starting with a car theft case, and destroyed a 30-member criminal group headed by Wang.

　　Wu Yanbing, deputy head of the Criminal Police Brigade of Lixia Branch of Jinan Public Security Bureau, said that during his 10 years in Jinan, the suspect Wang gradually evolved from an ordinary taxi driver into the chief criminal of a criminal group involved in black and evil. They formed a stable organizational system "Zhengdian Gang" by wooing fellow villagers, fighting, picking fights, extortion, theft and robbery, which greatly damaged the legitimate interests of the masses and had extremely bad social impact.

　　Selling cars and stealing cars, another case, the fugitive suspect is now in the air.

　　On January 22, 2018, Lixia police received a report from the victim Li Moumou that a black Magotan sedan mortgaged by a bank was previously purchased from Wang and others at a low price of 105,000 yuan, but the car could not be used normally due to incomplete procedures. Later, Li Moumou entrusted Wang and others to help sell the car, and the car was stolen during the sale.

　　After receiving the case, the First Squadron of Lixia Interpol quickly launched an investigation. On July 2, 2018, the car appeared in Tianjin, and the police immediately rushed to Tianjin and found that the actual user of the vehicle was Mu Mouhui, who was a cousin of Wang, both of whom were from Zhengdian, Laoling, Shandong Province. The police comprehensively analyzed and judged that the suspicion that Wang and others sold cars first and then stole them rose rapidly.

　　Subsequently, the police conducted an investigation around Wang and the people around him, and determined that the theft of the black Magotan car was the work of Zhang Mouzhi. Following this clue, it was found that Zhang Mouzhi was one of the fugitives who sought trouble with Wang and others in the police station area of Keyuan Road. On July 25, 2018, the police arrested Zhang Mouzhi.

　　Uncover the curtain of criminal groups

　　After in-depth investigation, the police found that this was not a simple car theft case, but a criminal gang involving more than 30 people headed by Wang, with Zhang Mowen, Zhang Mozhi, Zhang Mobin, Sun Moudong and Xia Mouyun as the backbone.

　　Wu Yanbing introduced that Wang, the leader of the gang, drove a taxi from Zhengdian, Laoling, to Jinan in 2008. He operated well and earned a lot of money. Later, Zhengdian’s fellow villagers all came to him. Wang anchored more than 20 cars in a taxi company. The fellow villagers who defected first took driving taxis as their main business, and formed an influential "Zhengdian Gang" in the taxi industry in Jinan, with a stable organizational system.

　　Through long-term covert development, the criminal gang gradually completed primitive accumulation of capital by operating hotels, business hotels and taxi companies as economic sources, and formed an enterprise management and business model. In the meantime, in the name of recruiting hotel waiters and taxi drivers, more than 30 members were developed.

　　In the daily management, the members of the gang use WeChat group, QQ group and taxi radio as contact methods, and contact in real time. Once people are needed to commit illegal crimes, people will be gathered immediately, which will have a quick response, many members and great social harm.

　　During his hotel management in Jinan, Wang bullied the city and competed viciously. In order to monopolize the regional market, he organized and implemented a large-scale affray. In April 2017, Wang, Zhang Mowen and Sun Moudong jointly invested to run a hotel in Heping Road, Lixia District. Because of the competition for tourists, they repeatedly had conflicts with the owner of an adjacent hotel. On May 11, 2017, there was a conflict between the two sides. Wang gathered more than 20 people at the entrance of the other hotel, and the two sides confronted each other, with more than 60 participants, and the social impact was extremely bad.

　　In addition, on April 19, 2017, the criminal gang was in a hotel on Huanshan Road, which also disturbed public order and caused trouble because of competition.

　　The gang "transformed" and falsely sold mortgage cars.

　　In the early days, the gang mainly disturbed public order and made troubles. In the past year, it gradually developed into crimes such as robbery, extortion and theft. In order to achieve the purpose of illegally accumulating wealth and obtaining benefits, the gang committed crimes continuously and repeatedly.

　　From September 2017 to January 2018, the criminal suspects Wang, Zhang Mouwen, Zhang Mobin, Xia Mouyun and others discussed together, and Wang invested to buy a bank-mortgaged vehicle. After buying the car, he assembled a locator and reserved a car key. After selling the car, he stole the vehicle back; Or, Xia Mouyun posted the information about selling mortgage cars on the Internet, and forged the relevant procedures of the car. When the buyer came to Jinan to trade, he defrauded the car purchase money and then gathered people to grab the car back.

　　In the name of falsely selling the mortgage car, the gang snatched, stole and cheated the mortgage car back by means of theft, robbery and fraud after selling the car or during the transaction. The car was sold six times, and one of the Volkswagen Tiguan cars was repeatedly sold three times.

　　At present, the criminal group headed by Wang has been smashed by the police. Since July 25, 2018, the police have arrested 28 illegal and criminal members of the group, including 21 people arrested and 7 people released on bail pending trial. It was initially verified that there were 9 criminal cases involving robbery, affray, theft, etc., and the property involved was worth more than 2 million yuan. What was waiting for them would be legal sanctions. (This article thanks Zhao Yang for providing the material)

The Spring Festival is approaching. How do you celebrate the Spring Festival this year? Recently, Banan District launched the "Family Style and American Family Annual Meeting" activity, and it became a new folk custom of Banan people during the Spring Festival to establish family training, talk about dreams, talk about gains and losses, and send blessings.

The relevant staff in Banan District said: "We advocate the citizens to celebrate the New Year on the spot. We hope that through this activity, Banan people will inherit the family style and carry forward the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation while feeling the taste of the year, so that the year 2021 will be full of atmosphere and connotation."

Anti-epidemic advanced families: the dream of family reunion and Spring Festival group.

During the Spring Festival of 2020, Yang Jifan and Li Chunmei, who live in Lijiatuo, Banan District, failed to go home for the New Year because they struggled in the forefront of hospital epidemic prevention and control.

"A virus epidemic destroyed all my dreams of the Spring Festival." Yang Jifan’s son, Yang Herui, said, "But please rest assured, Mom and Dad, I won’t cry. I’m proud of you. I’m the doctor’s son …"

According to reports, Yang Yurui’s parents and grandfather are both medical staff. "Doctors are kind-hearted" is what Yang Herui’s grandfather often talks about. Slowly, it has become the family motto of Yang Herui.

Wechat picture _20210205223411.png

It is under the influence of such family precepts that Yang Herui understands that mom and dad can’t go home on time, "attend" the group dinner and have a group dinner together because of "saving lives".

Today (5th), under the call of the activity of "Family Style and Annual Meeting of American Family during the Festival" in Banan District, Yang Herui’s family realized their dream of group year.

Picture 2.png

　In a small window of Lijiatuo Ronghui Jiangshan Community in Banan District, Yang Herui’s family is enjoying a reunion dinner. Prior to this, Yang Herui gave a handwritten newspaper named "I am proud, I am the doctor’s son" to my parents; Grandpa started to write down the family motto of "the doctor is kind" and taught Yang Herui the "connotation" in these four words with one stroke; Yang Herui’s family also pinched the "Mariko" symbolizing reunion together. ……

Picture 3.png

　"In the past, Yang Heli’s grandfather told me about the’ doctor’s kindness’ and later told Yang Heli. I hope that I can also tell this sentence to my younger generations in the future, so that these four words can be passed down from generation to generation in our family. " Yang Jifan, the father of Yang Herui, said.

Five Good Families in China: "Cloud Reunion" Inheriting Family Style

In Lijiatuo Street, Banan District, there is another family holding a special annual family meeting.

Picture 4.png

　"I hope you can be people with goals, and I hope you can develop in an all-round way by practicing martial arts …" Facing the two little daughters in the video, Zhao Sikuo wrote the family instructions with a brush while explaining them.

Zhao Sikuo and Dong Tingting both work in the health system of Banan District. Affected by the epidemic, Zhao Sikuo and Dong Tingting will continue to stick to their posts during the Spring Festival. Because they are separated from their parents and daughters, this year’s Spring Festival, their family can only have a "cloud reunion" by video phone.

Picture 5.png

　"Today, we will eat some sauerkraut jiaozi." Zhao Sikuo said, in my hometown in Northeast China, I will eat jiaozi on holidays. Plus, two people can’t eat much, and eating jiaozi can respond to the call of "eating civilization" and has a taste of the year. Facing the camera, Zhao Sikuo did not forget to teach children to cherish food and develop a good habit of thrift.

Zhao Sikuo’s family motto is "Set a lofty ambition, cultivate a strong body, be loyal, filial and righteous, and be single-minded". In 2020, this family motto was rated as one of the top ten most beautiful family precepts in Banan District in 2020, and Zhao Sikuo’s family was also rated as one of the five best families in China and the most beautiful family in Chongqing.

According to reports, in 2021, 2,152 party branches were launched in Banan district to publicize the annual family meeting before the festival, 121 primary and secondary schools took the annual family meeting home as a special winter vacation homework, and 200,000 families held annual family meeting activities during the Spring Festival according to their own conditions.

This activity will last until March. After the start of the new semester, schools will continue to carry out activities such as class meeting, team day, dream salon sharing meeting, etc., which will fully show the achievements of students’ participation in the annual meeting. After the holiday, various government agencies and units will also take advantage of theme party days and cadres’ and workers’ unions to organize cadres and workers to share the feelings of the annual meeting in time in the form of dream salons, so as to find out a group of families with stories, traditions and representatives, dig deep into the touching stories and beautiful sentiments of family style education, and enhance the new connotation and new image of family style construction in Banan District.

520, this movie is for everyone who loves movies.

2023年12月22日 | admin | B2
Today is May 20th.
On this special day, I want to recommend a movie about "love" to everyone.
In other words, a love letter written to the movie and also to every audience.
This film tells "the sincere confession of a great director".

He has an engineer father, who taught him how to think rationally and how to turn modern technology into his best creative tool.
He also has a pianist’s mother, who taught him the perception of art and a natural desire for expression as an artist.
The growing environment laid the foundation for him to dream.
However, how to turn a hobby of "wasting money" into a career that can "make money" and how to face the tear between the two are still issues throughout his adolescence.
He was bullied on campus because of his Jewish identity, or was traumatized by his parents’ divorce.
But all these eventually became his creative nourishment, the motif of his life’s creation.
Every great director will have his own autobiographical story.
Now, it’s finally Spielberg’s turn to tell this story.
The Dreammaker directed by Steven Allan Spielberg was the winner of last year’s Oscar hit, the Golden Globe Award for Best Drama and the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival.
So far, the freshness of rotten tomatoes is still as high as 92%.
I am also glad to see that this film will be released in China on May 25th. This is a rare film that we must see on the big screen.
This film is the best of the year in many people’s minds, and it is also praised by many people as "the most touching film of the year".
It’s really hard not to be moved by it.
Because it’s so sincere.
Unlike many films with the same nostalgic theme, in Dreammaker, you will not see a narcissism of successful people looking back on the past, nor will you see a bubble gum-style self-beautification.
On the contrary, director Spielberg, who was 76 years old, still had a childlike heart.
He told a story about growth and family in a very plain and restrained tone.
He also used such a plain and restrained tone to reveal some of the most "tearing" moments in his childhood.
So, is this movie about pain?
On the contrary, it tells—
Still "love."
The A side of the story is how a teenager who loves movies grows up with the encouragement of his parents.
In the winter of 1952, Sammy watched the first film in his life accompanied by his parents.
Before the film was shown, he was crying in the car and didn’t dare to go into the cinema, as if it were the maw of a wild animal, which would devour him young.
But after the film was shown, he looked at the shiny screen and lost his words in an instant.
For the first time, he understood that the movie was a dazzling dream.
Because there was a train in the movie, his parents bought him a train toy as a gift.
But what really attracted him was not the train itself, but how to record the picture of the train collision with a camera.
He became addicted to recording everything with a camera.

At first, it was a family video, with sisters playing together and family camping together.
Later, it became a movie at school, a gun battle and a drama.
He taught himself by himself and learned the most important thing:
The existence of the camera is not only to record the truth.
You can also edit, splice and reconstruct the truth in your own way to create your own truth.
But the most important thing is always "seeing".
Because movies are about seeing.
On the b side of the story, it is about the family of teenagers.
You will find that, coincidentally, every time he succeeds in film creation, it always seems to be accompanied by some kind of life tear.
When his father encouraged him to shoot a camping documentary for his mother, he stumbled across another truth about his mother in this documentary.
However, when the campus documentary he made was broadcast at the graduation party and everyone was cheering for his work, he had to bear the pain of his parents’ divorce and breaking up with his first love alone.
Under the seemingly bright and warm tone of the whole movie, there always seems to be a faint and melancholy background.
Although it is cruel, it is very real. It shows us that movies are not reality, and movies are not a good medicine for reality.

Every time Sammy tries to do it allImmersed in the movie, reality will give him a hard whip, which will make him pull away from it, and he will have to taste the tearing feeling between reality and the movie alone.
So, when did Sammy make up his mind to pursue film art?
Perhaps it was at the moment when he understood what a "movie" really was.
At the beginning of the film, the camera was really just a toy, and making movies was just an escapist hobby.
But the most crucial and turning point happened to be that Sammy discovered the secret of his mother’s infidelity through the lens of the camera.
He repeatedly confirmed his mother’s movements and eyes from the seemingly unimportant lens edge, and confirmed that she really admired another man.
At this moment, the film is no longer an escape from reality, but helps Sami "see" the reality.
In other words, he helped Sammy open another realistic perspective.
Originally, for him, family meant unconditional tolerance, understanding and support; But now he understands that there is another person’s sacrifice behind it.
It was the mother who made the sacrifice: she gave up her career as a pianist and suppressed her feelings.
In the scene that struck him like lightning, what he saw was not betrayal, but sacrifice.
It was his mother’s sacrifice that fulfilled his dream-maker.
Family is like a balance, and someone has to make sacrifices.
Mothers will make sacrifices for their husbands and children.
Children also have to make sacrifices for their father’s work.
In the second half of the film, their family moved to California, and Sammy had to face the new campus environment and the bullying from his classmates.
However, in their family history, there always seems to be a "crazy" gene that is desperate to pursue what they love.
Maybe when he comes back at midnight, Sammy often thinks of what his uncle who works in the circus said.
"Family, art, will tear you apart"
"We are addicts, and art is our antidote"
"Family is our love."
"But we will be crazy about art."

Mothers also need to make choices.
And at this moment, the "dreamer" once again played the magic:
It is precisely because everyone in the film, no matter what choice he makes, starts from his own heart. So they also got the tolerance and understanding of their families.
Through these choices, what the film tries to convey to us is a life attitude about "love": "Love what I love and dream as much as I can".
You never have to be sorry to be yourself. You can be anyone you want to be.
Only by finding your own love and creating your own life dreams can you meet all the splendor in life.


Because I am very sure that this is a movie that we must watch on the big screen.
From the first shot, it was born for the cinema.
It is also about the "love" of filmmakers.
In the film, you will see many historical eggs, The Train Comes into the Station, The King of the Opera, and john ford, the guest role of director david lynch himself …
You will also see many classic films in the film, including many prototypes of Spielberg’s own future films.
For example, all the films shown in the film that the protagonist shot in his early days are really the works of Spielberg himself when he was young. He re-filmed these materials with great interest, as if he had relived his childhood with the audience.
For many years, Spielberg himself was a Hollywood "myth".
In this film, he re-examined this myth and told us all that "myth is only human".
The director tries to explore some contradictory and contradictory motifs in the film-technology and art, family and self, film and reality. The tear between them runs through the whole movie.
And in the end, perhaps the answer we want to know most as an audience is-
What is a movie?
Maybe the movie is a dream.
We hope to use movies to dream and make up for the dissatisfaction in life.
But dreams will "betray" you: every time Sammy is happy because of the movie, reality will bring him pain.
Perhaps the film is a perspective, a kind of cognition.
The eyes of the camera can capture what the human eye can’t see and what the human heart can’t capture.
It can jump the horizon and take you to another level of reality.
It broke your dreams, your fantasies.
It is a reality in itself.
After that, the film seems to have "surpassed" the reality.
In the second half of the film, the director filmed a plot that many people thought was worth pondering.
Sammy was bullied in his new school.
But when he had the opportunity to pick up the camera, he not only didn’t make a fool of the bully in the camera, but filmed the other side as handsome, tall and shining like Apollo.
Why would he do that?
Even the school bully doesn’t understand himself.
And Sammy said, "I just want to make my movie better."
As a director, he sacrificed his feelings and his pain before restoring the "truth" of a film.
For him, the film is neither a mirror of reality, nor a dream, nor a playground, but an imagination to make up for regret.
A movie is a movie, his art and his creation.
He can give everything for creation.
Therefore, when the screen lights up, he will see his own beam of light.
The existence of movies is not used to escape from reality, nor to reconstruct reality.
Movies are another reality.
This is his love for movies.
In other words, "film" itself is also a metaphor.
Throughout life, people are torn between reality and dreams, between responsibility and love.
Each of us has our own "movie", but how much are you willing to pay for your love?
Movies are Spielberg’s "choice".
And each of us has our own choices.
I believe that almost everyone has been accompanied by at least one Spielberg movie in their childhood.
Schindler’s List, E.T., Jurassic World, Artificial Intelligence Ready Player One …
These movies not only carry Spielberg’s dreams, but also our memories and our reality.
Movies are dreams, Spielberg is a dreamer, and we have all seen ourselves in his world and the reality of another dimension.
This time, what he said is his "dream maker".
