Knife in a Stranger and the Re-emergence of Martial Arts Types

Author: Zhao Weifang

Recently, Iqiyi launched the movie label of "Action Master Season" online, and launched four action-type films: Stop the Horse and Take the Knife, Arrogant 2, Stop Evil, and Strange Knife. It combines action, martial arts, suspense, comedy, drama and many other elements. Among them, As a pure martial arts genre in ancient costume, The Stranger’s Mad Knife describes an reclusive charcoal seller Tian Anye who was inadvertently involved in the court coup to usurp power. He joined forces with other chivalrous men such as Qin Gu, the former head of the Prince, to stand up and uphold justice for the prince’s widow Nie Linger and the oppressed people in distress, showing the chivalrous demeanor in China’s traditional ethics. This film is devoted to the genre creation of costume martial arts, especially in the aspect of genre narration and fighting action. On the basis of returning to the classic Chinese action genre film, it has achieved some transcendence.

Action types are the classic types in Chinese movies, among which the action types in Hong Kong movies are the epitome of Chinese action types. After more than half a century’s development, they reached the peak of aesthetics in the 1980s and 1990s. The chivalrous spirit led by China’s Confucianism, such as getting rid of violence, helping justice, once upon a time in america and forbearing practice, has become the subjective ideological output of these films; A series of action elements, which combine the performance of China North School and the actual combat of China South School, and are designed according to the specific characters’ personalities and performance space, have become another essence of Chinese action films. Therefore, Chinese action movies have a strong artistic vitality and are constantly advancing aesthetics; This kind of films not only have a wide audience in Chinese-speaking areas, but also helped China films to enter the world mainstream film market twice in the early 1970s and the early 21st century, thus realizing the effective international spread of China films.

Due to the shortage of talents, lack of innovation, capital flight and other reasons, this classic China film has shown less and less situation in the Chinese film market in recent years, and its performance in the cinema market is also very weak. However, judging from a series of data of online movies and online dramas in recent years, this content creation type with the most China characteristics still has a considerable number of potential audiences in China and other parts of the world, and the fundamentals of its audience have not changed fundamentally, but the broad audience, especially the cinema audience, has a strong demand for its innovation, and there is no way out to repeat the past. The film labels of "Stranger Knife" and "Action Master Season" launched by iQiyi are undoubtedly the response to this appeal.

The Stranger Knife follows the theme and genre narration of traditional martial arts films, but it adds new elements on this basis. First, the film does not set Tian Anye’s formulated chivalrous character, but focuses on the passivity of his participation in rescuing Nie Linger’s mother and son, and his chivalrous actions are gradually stimulated in this passivity, thus giving this character a more three-dimensional character and more growth arcs.

At the same time, the film also gives more folk and individual expression to Nie Linger’s feelings, and gives a rich display to Qin Gu’s behavior of being an enemy and a friend, and also gives a humorous portrayal to another key chivalrous man, Qiansun Zhao. This characterization not only increases the appreciation of the film, but also gives the film more humanistic value and modernity.

Secondly, on the specific narrative level, The Stranger’s Mad Knife did not follow the revenge routine of traditional martial arts films step by step, but expanded in the present. For example, when Tian Anye, Qiansun Zhao and Qin Gu took Nie Linger and his mother to break through, the film designed four barriers that they wanted to break through, and each barrier was animated in the film. Tian Anye and others’ breakthroughs in these four barriers were like the breakthrough in the game. This narrative setting makes the film more contemporary and can generate more empathy with the mainstream audience in the new media era.

The film’s innovative performance is also reflected in the action design and super weapon design. First of all, the film designs corresponding actions according to the characters’ personality and behavior characteristics, so as to better show the artistic charm of action types. For example, when Tian An Ye began to rescue Nie Linger’s mother and son, his identity was a charcoal seller, and the carbon element occupied the dominant position in the picture. The action design around Tian An Ye was also full of carbon element, especially in the scene where he defeated the Fei Fei army in the dark with a charcoal stick. The burning charcoal stick danced like fireworks in the night, which produced a strong visual impact. In the second half of the film, the audience knows Tian Anye’s true identity as the head coach of the Mo Dao Army, and his fighting action is no longer full of charcoal elements but the actual combat of Mo Dao.

For Zhang Xuqing, the leader of the anti-angle flying army, he was suppressed by the King of Qi, and threatened by Liu Bingfeng, the deputy leader. In this kind of crevice, the founder designed weapons with long and short knives for him, which highlighted his toughness in fighting. Qin Gu’s style in the film is a white hat with a black veil. She has a pure personality and a gray area that she is most reluctant to mention. She strives to solve the confrontation quickly. Therefore, the film designs her movements to highlight the characteristics of quickness. When she shoots, the knife will not be drawn, and she will win immediately, emphasizing "the martial arts in the world, only fast and unbreakable".

Secondly, the film highlights Tian Anye’s strange knife and its fighting. According to historical data, the film restores the strange knife used by Tian Anye according to the actual size, which is about 2.6 meters long and weighs dozens of kilograms. Such a super weapon has never appeared in previous martial arts shooting. The creative team also designed a new knife method according to the personality of the characters and the characteristics of this knife. This knife method was particularly fully displayed in the scene where Tian Anye fought Zhang Xuqing’s long and short knives with a strange knife at the end of the film. The two weapons formed a sharp contrast. The fighting tactics of the knife method and the rigidity and softness of your coming and going all reflected the bold innovation of the creative team in weapon design and action guidance, which further expanded the action type elements of domestic martial arts films.

As a martial arts film with an expanding mission, the film also has room for improvement. The first is the recurring camel phantom, which seems unnecessary in the play. Secondly, the four barriers of film design lack a sense of progressive upgrading, which reduces the sense of game entertainment of the film. However, at a time when the action genre, especially the martial arts genre, needs to be revived, the brand of "Action Master Season", especially "A Stranger’s Sword", is undoubtedly of great significance.

Guangzhou new residential property fee regulations will be implemented on January 1st next year! Authoritative answers to hot issues →

From January 1, 2024, the Notice on Further Regulating the Residential Property Service Charges in Guangzhou (hereinafter referred to as the "new regulations") issued by Guangzhou Development and Reform Commission, Guangzhou Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau and Guangzhou Market Supervision Bureau will be formally implemented.

According to the new regulations, the first-class residential property service fee in Guangzhou should not exceed 2.8 yuan per square meter per month, and the parking space property management fee should not exceed 120 yuan per month. In response to this regulation, many citizens have raised questions about "who has the final say in the standard of residential property fees" and "whether their own property fees have dropped".

Recently, in order to ensure the implementation of the new regulations, the Municipal Development and Reform Commission issued authoritative answers to the hot issues of public concern, responding to public concerns.

1. What items are applicable to the new regulations (including service levels and charging standards) that will take effect on January 1, 2024?

A:According to the second paragraph of Article 29 of the new regulations, from January 1, 2024, if the newly-built ordinary residential construction unit has not hired a property service provider, the service level and charging standard of the ordinary residential property shall be implemented according to the new regulations;

In terms of parking spaces, the pre-property service charging standards for existing and newly-built ordinary residential parking spaces (garages) shall be implemented according to the new regulations.

2, the existing ordinary residential property service charges more than 2.8 yuan/square meter, is it a violation of the policy?

A:No.

If the owners’ meeting has been established, the charges for ordinary residential property services shall be subject to market adjustment. Ordinary residential property service charges that have been jointly decided by the owners shall be implemented according to the standards jointly decided by the owners.

For the newly-built ordinary residential property service charges that have not been set up by the owners’ meeting or decided jointly by the owners, if the construction unit applies before the pre-sale and is approved by the competent price department with management authority, it may also exceed 2.8 yuan/m2/month. Whether the ordinary residential property service has been approved by the competent price department with management authority can be consulted by the development and reform department of the district.

In order to protect the right to know, the house buyer can ask the construction unit to provide information such as the pre-service level, project, content and charging standard in the newly-built residential sales place, and the construction unit should provide relevant information.

3. Does the competent price department have the right to price the property services in different levels? The Civil Code clarifies that the property fees are jointly decided by the owners. Does the new regulation violate the Civil Code?

A:The competent price department may implement the government-guided price for the pre-residential property service charges of ordinary houses.

According to the relevant provisions of the Price Law and Guangdong Pricing Catalogue (2022 Edition), with the authorization of the provincial government, Guangzhou has implemented the government-guided price for the pre-residential property service charges in accordance with the law, and Guangzhou has determined the pre-residential property service charges in this city according to the principle of adapting the charges to the service level.

In addition, it is necessary to distinguish between early property services and property services.

Pre-realty service refers to the realty service provided by the construction unit before the owners and the owners’ congress hire realty service enterprises, which is a special form of realty service. Pre-property service charges have been confirmed by the construction unit and its selected property service providers before the house is sold, and the owners have not produced them at this time.

In order to protect the rights and interests of all owners, before the owners jointly decide on the property service charges, the early property service charges of ordinary houses shall be subject to the government-guided price. If the property service charges are jointly decided by the owners, the government-guided price will be invalid for the project.

4. If after the first owners’ meeting, but no resolution is made on the property service fee, the competent price department with price management authority makes a decision to maintain or reduce it, will it be invalid?

A:After the first owners’ meeting, no matter whether a resolution is made on the property service charge, the government-guided price or the approved maximum price will be invalid for the project, and the owners’ meeting will decide whether to continue to refer to it.

It should be noted that the convening of the owners’ meeting is not a necessary condition for the adjustment of property service charges. According to the Civil Code and Guangzhou Property Management Regulations, the property service charges can also be adjusted upon the joint decision of the owners.

5. If the original industry committee has expired, but a new industry committee has not yet been established, is the government-guided price implemented for the residential property service fee?

A:No.

According to "Guangdong Pricing Catalogue (2022 Edition)", the property service charges of ordinary houses and supporting self-owned parking spaces (garages) after the establishment of the owners’ meeting will be subject to market adjustment prices. After the establishment of the first industry committee, the property service charges of the ordinary residence and supporting self-owned parking spaces (garages) will be subject to market adjustment.

6. A residential area has a first phase, a second phase and a third phase. Are the property service charges in the early stage of residence the same? The project is constructed and accepted separately. Is the property service fee for parking spaces determined by the number of planned parking spaces alone or accumulated by the number of planned parking spaces within a property management area? Some of them are more than 1000, and some of them are not more than 1000. What if some of them are expensive and some of them are low?

A:In the same residential area developed by stages, the property service charges in the early stage of residence may be different. Prior to the joint decision of the owners, the preliminary property service charges shall be executed according to the preliminary property service contract signed by the construction unit and the property service provider according to law.

According to the new regulations, in principle, the number of parking spaces for residential construction shall be confirmed based on the number of parking spaces that have been approved by the planning department (planning opinions or planning acceptance certificates). Separate acceptance, according to the separate acceptance of the planning opinions or planning acceptance certificate of the number of parking spaces.

The new regulations clarify the maximum price of property service charges in the early stage of self-owned parking spaces, and property service providers can determine specific standards according to laws and regulations within the scope of the maximum price according to the actual situation such as whether to operate continuously or not. Owners can also determine the fees with the property service providers through mutual decision.

7. Does the property grade in the new regulations have to meet all conditions before the corresponding service grade can be evaluated? If there is a problem with the quality of property services, who will be responsible for, supervise and identify it?

A:There is no need to evaluate the pre-service level of ordinary residential property in the new regulations.

In the new regulation, the pre-property service level is that the construction unit makes a menu choice of pre-property service according to the characteristics and needs of the project before hiring property service providers. The specific services agreed upon by the construction unit and the pre-selected realty service provider through public bidding shall not be less than (lower than) the service content of the selected level.

According to Article 8 of Guangzhou Property Management Regulations, under the guidance and supervision of the housing administrative department, the property service industry association shall supervise the service quality and behavior of property service providers and their employees.

8. The number of parking spaces for residential buildings is based on the planning opinions or the planning acceptance certificate and the Construction Project Planning Permit. How to obtain these documents?

A:According to "Guangzhou Property Management Regulations" and other regulations, property services companies undertaking inspection should verify the planning conditions and obtain the certificate of completion and acceptance of construction projects. According to the requirements of undertaking inspection, the planning verification opinions of construction projects, etc., shall be confirmed by the property service provider on site and filed.

Owners or users of parking spaces can inquire about the planning opinions or planning acceptance certificates from the property service providers, and the property service providers should take the initiative to disclose the number of parking spaces for ordinary residential buildings.

9. In the same building, there are residential buildings, commercial apartments and shops sharing an underground parking lot. How to define whether it is a self-owned parking space for ordinary residential buildings?

A:According to Article 6 of the Notice of Guangzhou Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau on Printing and Distributing the Management Measures of Parking Spaces and Garages for Real Estate Development Projects in Guangzhou (Sui Jian Gui Zi [2019] No.5), if there are houses with different functions such as residence, commerce and office in the building division, the construction unit shall clearly indicate the number and specific location of parking spaces with various functions in the rental and sales plan.

According to Article 20 of the Guangzhou Parking Regulations, if the construction unit rents and sells parking spaces for commercial and residential integrated construction projects, it shall clearly indicate the number and specific location of residential parking spaces in the rental and sales plan.

10. Are all property service companies required to provide owners with six free access cards?

A:No.

From January 1, 2024, the newly-built ordinary residence shall be equipped with 6 access cards for the buyer free of charge according to the intelligent access control system agreed in the planning or sales contract. Ordinary houses that have been delivered for use before, the number of free equipment shall be implemented according to the original regulations.

Academy of Social Sciences: It is expected that house prices will remain stable this year, falling back to first-and second-tier cities or bottoming out.

  BEIJING, May 14 (Xinhua) Wang Yeqiang, an associate researcher at the China Academy of Social Sciences, said today that overall, 2018 will be the low point of this round of real estate market, and the overall real estate market will show a downward trend. Affected by the decline in sales, it is expected that the real estate market price will maintain a steady decline in 2018. First-tier hotspots and second-tier cities may take the lead in bottoming out, while third-and fourth-tier cities still maintain a certain degree of heat. It is expected that there may be a big correction in the third-and fourth-tier cities in the second half of 2018.

  Data Map: Real estate development projects.

  China Academy of Social Sciences held the 2018 China Real Estate Summit Forum and the "Blue Book of Real Estate" conference on the morning of May 14th. Associate researcher Wang Yeqiang, executive editor of the book, introduced the relevant situation.

  Wang Yeqiang looks forward to the rental and sale of real estate market in 2018. He said that from different markets, the change of land price in 2018 will be based on a moderate increase, and the price mechanism of the real estate market will be accelerated, while the task of first-line risk prevention and control is still arduous, and changes in third-and fourth-tier cities must be paid attention to. At the same time, the third and fourth lines are mainly characterized by structural contradictions, which should be based on stability. At the same time, we should pay close attention to the market dynamics and strictly prevent and control the price signals that may appear in a few cities when investment demand disturbs the market.

  The establishment of supply systems and modes suitable for emerging industries and new formats will help the smooth operation of the industrial land market, and the market demand and land price of industrial land will be affected by the development of emerging industries. Actively exploring the supply systems and modes of emerging industrial land will help the smooth operation of the industrial land market.

  (II) From the perspective of the personal housing credit market, it is predicted that the regulation policy of the real estate market will remain stable in 2018, and the urban policies with overheated momentum will be tightened. On the whole, the real estate market will enter an adjustment period after a sharp rise in the past few years, and the growth of personal housing loan business will also slow down. At the same time, the loan interest rate will continue to rise under the impetus of rising marketization costs. From the perspective of regulatory policies, it should be the trend of maintaining overall stability.

  In the short term, in order to achieve the expected effect of stabilizing the market, the relevant short-term restrictive policies will not be relaxed and withdrawn. In the long term, it is necessary to further improve policies such as land supply, simultaneous rental and sales, and real estate regulation and control, and gradually replace short-term regulatory policies such as restricting purchases and loans. From the perspective of the growth rate of personal loans, the growth rate will continue to slow down. Due to the continuous decline in the sales area at the demand level and the tightening of the superimposed loan restriction policy, the overall demand for personal housing loans will shrink. From the perspective of supply, the increment and structure of personal housing loans will be subject to unified supervision, and the demand for corporate credit will obviously pick up, which will further affect the supply of mortgage funds.

  At the same time, there is still room for further increase in the interest rate of personal housing credit. Some foreign economies are tightening the provision policy, including the business of raising interest rates and shrinking the table in the United States, which also has a certain impact on our national monetary policy. At the same time, the credit demand of the enterprise sector will pick up, and the tight credit scale will be maintained, which may promote the personal housing loan to continue to rise.

  (3) Investment and financing are mainly affected. One is the major changes in the real estate market. For example, land auctions introduce mechanisms such as self-sustaining, competitive matching and lottery auction. Second, restrictions on purchases, loans, sales and business in the real estate market have become the mainstream regulation methods in large and medium-sized cities. Third, there is a large supply of shared property rights and rental housing. Judging from the trend of real estate investment, the investment keeps moderate downward trend, and the investment structure may be further adjusted. It is expected that the real estate investment will enter the downward channel in 2018, and the decline may be accelerated in the future from the moderate downward trend, and the investment structure is facing major adjustment. In the financing business, it is the primary task to be stable and tight, and to prevent risks.

  (4) From the perspective of the residential market, one is that the residential sales area has further decreased. As the amount of shantytown renovation in 2018 will be less than that in 2017, it means that the resettlement of shed reform has a great impact on housing sales, especially in third-and fourth-tier cities, and this positive pulling effect will gradually decline. Second, the growth rate of housing development investment has declined, and it is expected that the growth rate of development investment will also decline in 2018. Considering the continuous increase of newly started area and the rapid increase of land price in the past two years, it is estimated that the growth rate of development investment will remain at around 5% throughout the year. The housing price is stable and declining. From the perspective of the real estate boom cycle, a series of indicators in the real estate market show that the market has entered a stage of downturn, and the market has an internal driving force for downward adjustment. It is expected that the housing market will also show the characteristics of periodic downward adjustment in 2018, and the housing price is likely to be stable and declining.

  (V) Overall judgment, our overall judgment on China real estate in 2018 shows that 2018 will be the low point of this round of real estate market, and the overall real estate market will show a downward trend. In the supply-side first-line and hot-spot second-tier cities, in order to alleviate the inventory crisis, the land supply is expected to increase further, but it is difficult to relax the price limit policy, the supply in hot cities will continue to be tight, the policy base for real estate regulation and control on the demand side will not change, and the tightening of bank credit will also significantly increase the cost of buying houses, so the transaction scale will also be limited to some extent, and the sales area of commercial housing will be adjusted back due to the dual effects of regulatory policies and monetary environment. Shrinking sales and blocked financing channels will put financial pressure on housing enterprises and affect their willingness to start work to a certain extent, and the growth rate of new construction will continue to run at a low level.

  Wang Yeqiang said that because the property market regulation policy is not relaxed in 2018, unfavorable factors at all levels of demand policy still exist, and corporate financing is blocked, and residents’ deleveraging development loans are tightened, which will have a negative impact on the growth rate of development investment in 2018. It is expected that the development investment in 2018 will remain at a low level, and there may be a slight rebound in the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, we think it should continue to maintain a legitimate downward trend, and it is difficult to have a strong performance throughout the year. Due to the decline in sales, it is expected that the development investment in 2018 will continue to

  From the perspective of different cities, because the real estate control policy is not relaxed, first-tier hotspots and second-tier cities may take the lead in bottoming out. The adjustment of third-and fourth-tier cities obviously lags behind that of first-tier cities. Due to the relatively loose current policies, the spillover of demand and the support of shed reform policies and monetization policies, third-and fourth-tier cities still maintain a certain degree of enthusiasm.

  With the gradual withdrawal of the destocking stimulus policy and the tightening regulation, it is expected that there may be a big correction in the third-and fourth-tier cities in the second half of 2018.

  Wang Yeqiang said that we should have the following four trends in the real estate market in 2018. First, the relationship between supply and demand may be fundamentally reversed in 2018. In addition to the direct demand for housing, at the same time, due to the central control policy of staying and not speculating, it will have a greater impact on market expectations. At the same time, the toughness of development investment will increase significantly, because the start of sales by real estate enterprises means a loss, so real estate enterprises may deliberately lengthen the development cycle. At the same time, the capital level will affect the willingness of developers to take land, and the residential price index will maintain a decline throughout the year.

Shandong Port has laid out five dry ports in Shanxi and built an "end-to-end" logistics service system.

Peninsula reporter Hao Chunmei

On the morning of November 15th, a promotion meeting for Shandong Port Group and China Railway Container Company to enter Shanxi to serve customers in the central and western regions was held in Taiyuan, Shanxi. Shandong Port signed five cooperation agreements with partners and customers, unveiled five dry ports in Shandong Port, and put forward six commitments to serve customers, so as to promote cooperation, build a dry port and highlight the promised "real materials", build a convenient, economical and efficient "end-to-end" one-stop logistics service avenue, further strengthen the upstream and downstream connection of port logistics chain, improve the quality of customers in the hinterland of port service, reduce the logistics cost of customers in the central and western regions, and strive to improve the comprehensive service capacity of ports.

The promotion meeting of Shandong Port Group and China Railway Container Company entering Shanxi to serve customers in the central and western regions was held in Taiyuan.

Shanxi is an important energy base in China and the first comprehensive reform pilot of energy revolution, which plays an important role in China’s national economy. Shandong and Shanxi are geographically close, popular and mutually complementary. The convenient and efficient railway and highway network extending in all directions has closely linked the two provinces, making Shandong ports the most economical and convenient seaports in Shanxi and even the vast central and western regions. In 2018, driven by railway arteries such as Wazi and Xinhe Yanri, ports in Shandong provided services to more than 150 important customers in the central and western regions, and completed more than 60 million tons of iron ore, coal and coke.

In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary "pay more attention to managing the ocean" and "accelerate the construction of a world-class marine port", Shandong Port Group was established on August 6 this year, which opened a new page for Shandong ports to grasp their fingers and complement each other’s advantages and accelerate the construction of a world-class marine port. In order to better serve the economic development of the central and western regions and promote a higher level of opening to the outside world, Shandong ports have made efforts in both land and sea, started trains in the land direction, built land ports and expanded the supply of goods, set up three "inland ports" in Xi’ an and Urumqi, opened up new two-way logistics channels between Shandong and South Korea, and added six container sea-rail combined transport lines; Open sea routes, expand cabin capacity and expand transit, and newly open container ocean routes from Qingdao to the North Pole, Qingdao to Southeast Asia and Rizhao to the North Pole. Successfully held the 2019 "Belt and Road" land-sea linkage summit forum, set up a 100-billion-level development fund, set up a land-sea linkage development alliance, and released the East Asia maritime trade index. The new opening pattern of "two-way mutual assistance between east and west and linkage between land and sea" was accelerated. From January to October, the total cargo throughput of Shandong ports was 1.09 billion tons, an increase of 8.6% year-on-year; The container throughput was 24.47 million TEUs, up 9% year-on-year, showing a good trend of rising volume and efficiency and rising against the trend.

Shandong Port signed strategic cooperation agreements with five major enterprises to build a cooperative community with close ties, risk sharing and benefit sharing.

At the promotion meeting, Shandong Port Group signed cooperation agreements with China Railway Container Company, Shandong Port Qingdao Port Group and China Railway Container Jinan Branch, Shandong Port Rizhao Port Group and China Railway Container Taiyuan Branch, Shanxi Shide Energy Group, Shandong Port Yantai Port Group and Shanxi Aluminum Corporation, which further built a cooperative community with close ties, shared risks and benefits.

At the same time, five dry ports of Shandong Port Group, such as China Railway Group Jiexiu Dry Port, Anyang Xiangdao Dry Port, Xiaoyi Modern Logistics Park Dry Port, Shanxi Nengtou Caijiaya Dry Port and Puyang Dry Port, were unveiled. The layout of the five dry ports comprehensively considers the advantages of railway container transportation and resource location, and will further integrate upstream and downstream resources to create an integrated logistics service integrating warehousing, processing, transportation, trading and financial services.

Shandong Port and China Railway Container Company respectively introduced their business and launched six service commitments. Among them, there are not only the efficiency commitment that the entry and exit time of the 10,000-ton train of Wari Railway should not exceed 6 hours, but also the personalized service measures such as "changing large trains to small trains", "changing large trains to land transport" and "changing large trains to bulk trains", and building an active trade platform of "selling for mines and purchasing for factories", etc., which shows the confidence and sincerity of Shandong Port in serving customers in the central and western regions and working together for win-win development.

Mr. Li Fengli, Deputy Secretary, Director and General Manager of Shandong Port Group, delivered a speech.

Li Fengli, deputy secretary, director and general manager of the Party Committee of Shandong Port Group, said in his speech that in recent days, major national strategies such as the Shandong New and Old Kinetic Energy Conversion Comprehensive Experimental Zone, the Shandong Pilot Free Trade Zone and the China-SCO Cooperation Demonstration Zone have continuously empowered Shandong and Qingdao. The Shandong port at the crossroads of the Belt and Road Initiative has ushered in a golden opportunity for development, and its role and advantages in serving the country’s opening to the outside world have become more prominent. Shandong Port will join hands with railway departments, customs, shipping companies and logistics enterprises to "move" the seaport to the door of customers in Shanxi and even the vast central and western regions, speed up the construction of an "end-to-end" whole logistics service system, and strive to provide customers with the "four most" services with the highest efficiency, the best service, the safest operation and the most reasonable price.

More than 300 people from relevant leaders of Taiyuan Municipal Government, Customs and Railways, representatives of customers in the central and western regions, and representatives of port groups in Shandong Port attended the promotion meeting.

Listening to non-legacy stories | Youth, brilliant in the Millennium "while the iron is hot"

    Xinhua News Agency, Zhengzhou, May 4 th: Youth is brilliant in the Millennium.

   On May 3, the Qingming Shangheyuan Scenic Area performed a performance of playing iron flowers. Xinhua News Agency (photo by Yuan Hang)

    The molten iron at 1600℃ turns into starlight all over the sky, and like the spring breeze blows away thousands of silver flowers … During the May Day period, in Shangheyuan Scenic Area, Qingming, Kaifeng, Henan Province, Pang Fei, a blacksmith after "90", scooped up the molten iron from the furnace and lifted it. Zhang Bao, a partner on the side, raised his paddle high and struck hard, which was thrilling and wonderful in an instant, attracting tourists to cheer.

    As one of the representative projects of national intangible cultural heritage, "Tie Tie Hua" is a folk cultural performance skill discovered by ancient craftsmen in the process of casting utensils, which is mostly spread in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, especially in Henan and Shanxi, and has a history of more than a thousand years.

    This Chinese romance, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is also called "the game of the brave". Liu Xiaosong, a 45-year-old representative inheritor of the "Bianliang Tiehua Liu" in Kaifeng, Henan Province, was deeply involved. "In my impression, every year during the Chinese New Year or Lantern Festival, almost every household will burn some molten iron as fireworks." Liu Xiaosong said. Watching the elders play while the iron is hot makes young Liu Xiaosong obsessed with it. "With the development of society, fireworks have also become popular, and the technical requirements for playing iron flowers are very high. This skill has been interrupted in the village for more than ten years."

    In 2008, Tie Tie Hua was included in the list of representative projects of national intangible cultural heritage. Liu Xiaosong began to pursue the unique skill of striking while the iron is hot, and learned from teachers, visited and discussed with peers … In the process, more and more young people joined in. Pang Fei and Zhang Bao are a group of "post-90 s" who joined earlier. The reason why they decided to learn to play iron flower is very similar: it is bitter, but it is cool. "From an early age, I watched the older generation play iron flowers. Every time I heard the exclamation of the onlookers after the first iron flower was scattered in the air, I wanted to pass it on." Pang Fei said.

    Although there is love, the high temperature of 1600℃ is always the most sad level for the blacksmith.

    Playing iron flowers usually begins with drawing water. Water is very similar to molten iron. Apprentices are qualified from the first one meter, three meters, to five meters until they hit the water to more than ten meters.

    We should not only train hard, but also practice accuracy. "Put the iron in the pottery furnace and keep burning carbon until the iron melts into water. The temperature of the molten iron just scooped out is very high, so performers need to be extra cautious when grasping the strike. If the strike position is inaccurate or the strength is not enough, the iron flower can’t reach a certain angle and height, and it is easy to burn. " Pang Fei said that it is common to practice being burned at first, and you will learn it when you are full of scalds.

    As an art form with unique Chinese charm, there is an increasing demand for the performance of Tie Hua. "Now all kinds of cultural exhibitions, art festivals, folk activities, etc. can see the shadow of the iron flower. We perform more than 1,000 performances every year on average." Liu Xiaosong said that in the Qingming Shangheyuan scenic spot in Kaifeng, there are nearly 10,000 people watching a show.

    While inheriting the ancient skills, Liu Xiaosong also innovated the performance content and form of Tiehua, incorporating folk elements such as dragon dancing and scientific and technological elements such as sound and photoelectricity. "In terms of raw materials, we have developed a new type of raw materials with large flowers, high brightness and flame retardant properties, which will die when it hits the ground, with strong environmental protection and high safety." Liu Xiaosong said.

    Today, Liu Xiaosong’s team is growing, and many post-90s and post-00s have joined the ranks. "If there is anything I want to learn, I will not refuse. Looking at these children, I feel that the iron flower can be passed down from generation to generation." Liu Xiaosong said.

    On the morning of May 4th Youth Day, Liu Xiaosong and his disciples came to Shangheyuan Scenic Area in Qingming Festival to prepare for the evening performance. Working in pairs, breaking carbon, catching fire and melting iron … "After 00", Zhai Xinzhuo looked at the skilled operation of his brothers and envied them. This is his second week of learning to play iron flower. At present, the height of drawing water has reached 10 meters.

    Zhai Xinzhuo’s eyes shone brightly when his brothers skillfully scooped up the hot molten iron and kicked it into the air with a paddle.

Is "children’s food" really suitable for children? More than 40% of parents are not at ease

  Nowadays, many parents prefer products labeled "children’s food" when buying food for their children, thinking that they are more in line with their children’s physical development, and such products are often more expensive. In fact, for children over 3 years old, there is no special food safety standard in China, and many so-called "children’s foods" have the same ingredients as ordinary foods, and are not even suitable for children to eat.

  Last week, the Social Investigation Center of China Youth Newspaper conducted a survey on 2003 parents of children interviewed, and it showed that 84.8% parents were more inclined to buy products with the words "children’s food" for their children. 45.0% of the parents surveyed are uneasy about the "children’s food" on the market. 74.6% parents want to establish a monitoring, detection and early warning mechanism for "children’s food".

  Parents interviewed in first-tier cities are more inclined to buy "children’s food"

  Li Ran (pseudonym) is from Guangdong, and her child is 5 years old this year. In Li Yanran’s view, some foods eaten by adults are not suitable for children, so she is very concerned about products marked with the words "children’s food". "60% of my children’s snacks are ‘ Children’s food ’ For example, noodles, cereal, milk, and even soy sauce are specially suitable for children. " Li Yanran noticed that the manufacturers of "children’s food" generally claim that they have specially added some nutrients that children need, and that "children’s food" is cute in shape and will increase children’s appetite.

  Yan Jing (pseudonym) lives in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and has two children, the eldest is 22 years old and the second is 9 years old. With rich experience in parenting, she has her own views on "children’s food". "I don’t believe ‘ Children’s food ’ This label. At present ‘ Children’s food ’ There is no clear definition, and there is no specific and unified standard for composition. Many parents actually don’t know what children of every age should eat, and they see the sign ‘ Children’s food ’ The words will be bought, but it is not rational enough. "

  According to the survey, 86.2% of the parents surveyed said that when buying food for their children, they would pay special attention to the products marked with the words "children’s food". 84.8% parents are more inclined to buy "children’s food" for their children. Interactive analysis shows that parents interviewed in first-tier cities pay more attention to and buy "children’s food", followed by parents interviewed in second-tier cities.

  Hu Qin (a pseudonym) from Anhui has a 13-year-old daughter. Hu Qin told reporters that when her daughter was a child, she often paid attention to children’s food. "I can’t help but buy it when I see it. As a parent, I always want to give my child the best and most suitable. I always feel that since the package is marked ‘ Children’s food ’ The formula will be more reasonable, and it will also cost money to buy peace of mind. "

  As children grow up, Hu Qin’s view on "children’s food" has changed. "The child ate a lot ‘ Children’s food ’ I feel that they are not safer and more nutritious except that they are several times more expensive and the packaging is a little cute, and some even don’t indicate the formula. This is not what our parents imagined ‘ Children’s food ’ . Since my child went to junior high school, I won’t buy anything marked ‘ Children’s food ’ The words "products".

  Li Ran found that the products labeled "children’s food" were getting more and more expensive, and some of the colors were too bright and beautiful, which made her feel suspicious instead, "I don’t know what additives were added". She feels that some children’s foods are mislabeled with nutrients. "The product advertisements are very good, but the ingredients and contents mentioned in the advertisements are not in the nutrition table. On the contrary, they are similar to what adults usually eat, and children have no effect when they eat them."

  45.0% of the parents surveyed are uneasy about the "children’s food" on the market.

  "I think the current so-called ‘ Children’s food ’ There are still many security risks. Children, like to eat heavy flavors. Now there are many foods that cater to children’s tastes, such as junk food such as spicy strips, all of which are sugar, salt and monosodium glutamate, which are unhealthy, not to mention conforming to children’s growth laws. " Yan Wei said.

  According to the survey, 45.0% of the parents interviewed are not at ease about the "children’s food" on the current market.

  What are the problems with "children’s food" on the market now? According to the survey, in the opinion of the parents interviewed, adding too much food additives (61.0%) is the biggest problem, followed by exaggerating efficacy and false propaganda (58.9%), and then the price is abnormally high (50.5%).

  Zhu Danpeng, a researcher at China Food Business Research Institute, told reporters that at present, "children’s food" lacks relevant standards. "The state did not give ‘ Children’s food ’ A standard, the production end basically takes the enterprise standard as the production standard of the product, and the consumer end only has the awareness of protecting children but has no professional discrimination knowledge, so it is difficult to distinguish it only by consumers. This also gives enterprises a lot of free space, resulting in ‘ Children’s food ’ It has become a means for many enterprises to achieve product differentiation and pursue high gross profit, forming a kind of chaos. "

  74.6% parents want to establish a monitoring, detection and early warning mechanism for "children’s food"

  At the two sessions this year, An Ting, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and chairman of Beijing Xiken International Culture and Art (Group) Company, said that "children’s food" with high sugar content is the main cause of children’s obesity, and efforts must be made in the management of "children’s food" for the healthy growth of the next generation.

  "As parents, we are really scared about food safety. I hope the state will pay attention to ‘ Children’s food ’ The problem, right ‘ Children’s food ’ Strict production control, improve product quality, popularize relevant knowledge. So parents don’t have to buy ‘ Children’s food ’ While worrying, I even went to a purchasing agency to buy foreign ’ Children’s food ’ Yes. " Li Ran said.

  Yan Jing believes that the first step should be to clarify what is "children’s food" and have corresponding standards. Secondly, some junk food designed for children should be banned directly, and supervision and law enforcement should be strengthened.

  "The national standard seriously lags behind the development speed of the whole market and cannot keep up with the innovation and upgrading of the industry." Zhu Danpeng believes that the lack of national standard for "children’s food" has given enterprises a loophole for boasting and wrangling. "The state should introduce it as soon as possible ‘ Children’s food ’ The standards can be formulated by referring to international standards and combining with the physique of children in China. Of course, this involves life science, which is a huge system and scientific project. For example, sodium, what is the most reasonable and standard, should be carefully studied. In addition, consumers should establish a sense of rational consumption, master more health and nutrition knowledge, and improve their ability to distinguish. "

  To ensure the safety of "children’s food", 74.6% parents in the survey hope to establish a safety monitoring, detection and early warning mechanism for "children’s food", 61.8% parents in the survey suggest to carry out special rectification activities to force the removal of "children’s food" that is not conducive to children’s health, and 58.1% parents in the survey hope to stipulate the types and dosage of "children’s food" additives.

  Among the parents surveyed, 24.8% live in first-tier cities, 50.3% in second-tier cities, 23.0% in third-and fourth-tier cities, 1.8% in towns or counties, and 0.1% in rural areas.

Common 22 typical mental diseases

1, neurosis: friends lack communication with their own hearts, life is very self and subjective, often living in the shadow of various fears, insecurity, and the pursuit of security, making the body and mind not relaxed enough. It is a functional disorder with sufficient self-knowledge.

2, hypochondriasis, neurasthenia, phobia (fear of cancer, fear of AIDS): excessive attention to oneself, sensitive quality, personality foundation, living environment, accidental events and cognitive bias.

3. Anxiety: Friends suppress their aggressiveness, shrink back and evade their responsibilities, and are unwilling to take responsibility because an active life will bring mistakes and responsibilities. They are afraid of death and can’t grasp the situation of their lives. When they accept their responsibilities, they also give up all their venting methods, and finally turn to attack themselves. It is caused by the comprehensive factors of personality and life. Everyone should live in real life and learn to be satisfied.

4. Social phobia: the result of the combination of self-distrust and high expectations and the deviation of understanding of the objective world. In some cases, there may be some direct incentives, excessive attention to self and pursuit of ideal interpersonal communication.

5, interpersonal sensitivity: sensitive to what you are afraid of and then resist. Allergy is an overreaction to what you think is unfavorable. Allergy is a strong manifestation of resistance and aggression. It is an aggressive psychology. We only attack what we are afraid of and may hurt ourselves. Resisting means not letting the other person in. Interpersonal relationship sensitive person wants is the simplest and purest. They have repressed emotions to be released and fear in their hearts. Sensitive person should learn to master the interpersonal relationship around him, accept the so-called "enemy", reconcile with it, and learn to love the "enemy". Patients may be accompanied by some paranoid personality disorder.

6. Schizophrenia: Everything about the external events experienced by patients is the projection of internal shadows. The mental behavior of patients is forced to show the neglected shadows in their lives, and their emotional expression is suppressed in the most extreme way, so that they suddenly break out and cause mental disorders. There are many kinds of causes of schizophrenia, including genetic factors and life experiences. There is no unified view in the medical field. There are four common types of schizophrenia: youth type, paranoid type, nervous type and simple type. The main feature is the loss of insight, and the main treatment is long-term drug treatment.

7. Depression: an obvious and persistent mood disorder. There are many explanations for the causes, such as various events in life, genetic characteristics, physiological changes in the brain, mental trauma in childhood, long-term accumulation of negative emotions, etc. The United States has made great breakthroughs in the study of depression. At present, the treatment method mainly relies on the combination of drug therapy and psychotherapy. The international advanced drug treatment method is comprehensive treatment of several types of drugs through several courses, 2/3.

8, physical symptoms fatigue: we talk about the unity of body and mind, physical symptoms are often a reflection of psychological crux, many physical symptoms of non-organic diseases are caused by psychological reasons. Physical symptoms are often caused by feeling extremely depressed and hopeless about life, losing the goal and direction of life, and feeling insecure.

9. Physical symptoms: Shoulders are tight and stiff: some things are not what they want, there are emotional conflicts in their hearts, or they are too stressed in life, or they feel guilty about some actions in the past. Dr. Alexander Lowen also made a related statement in "Body Dynamics and Personality Structure", in which drooping shoulders indicate inner depression, shrugging shoulders are related to fear, and bending shoulders are a reflection of heavy mental burden.

10, physical symptoms dyspepsia: most of them are non-organic but functional, so it is related to mood, unacceptable to reality, angry, persistent and stubborn about their own situation, unable to let go, depressed performance. We need to trust life, face life with a happy-go-lucky attitude, and let life be as free as possible.

11. Somatization symptom pain: friends’ mental and emotional imbalance leads to muscle pain because they are unable to vent their anger mentally, and physical tension caused by psychological reasons. Headache is caused by deep-seated pain, because they are unwilling to express or have no way to express it, and then they are unwilling to accept bad emotions, shrink back and escape from the real world. There is also a type of pain caused by seeking a rational, reasonable and understandable life and chasing uncertain endings, often.

12. Types of migraine: the theme of the body is transformed into the head, and the theme is tried to be realized at this level, one of which is that sex is not satisfied.

13. Anorexia: the result of patients’ lack of acceptance by others, trying to make the sense of emptiness disappear in this way, which is a manifestation of spiritual self-satisfaction. One type is anorexia nervosa: excessive asceticism, rejecting all material and physical needs, aiming at chastity and spirituality, and having great desire for life. However, if we want to eradicate our own greed and abstinence by anorexia, we can’t find a happy balance. We need to be honest with ourselves and accept our greed. Habitual anorexia is dieting for various reasons. After a long time, it forms a habitual conditioned reflex and loses interest in food.

14. Bulimia: It is mostly a manifestation of not being cared for by people around you or feeling left out, satisfying yourself with food, filling the inner emptiness or loneliness after success, or another form of satisfaction for hunger and thirst for love, which will reappear in the body as longing for sweets and food. The difference between compulsive diet and compulsive diet: compulsive diet can’t deal with love from the consciousness level, but can only practice love through the body and look for love, affirmation and encouragement at the wrong level.

15. Vomiting, hunger: The patient subjectively wants to vent and prove that his thoughts are wrong, denying himself and the joy of life, which is a manifestation of lack of care in life, expressing resistance and rejection.

16. Stuttering: People around you are too authoritative and picky when you are growing up. You have subjective concerns about expression and are vague. You can’t express your needs completely freely, so as to avoid the subconscious mind emerging into consciousness, causing throat fear and contraction, and being restrained in childhood. You dare not vent your inner pressure and avoid speaking your inner words directly. In the later stage, it is a problem of psychological conditioned reflex.

17. Dyskinesia, writing spasm: If you want to show self-confidence, you are really insecure inside. Looking at things in a "skewed" and "distorted" way is a wrong way of self-expression.

18. Sexual barriers: All kinds of fears about self, partners and sex are the most fundamental reasons. Women’s apathy means that women are not ready to give themselves, they want to be "masters", unwilling to obey and be at a disadvantage, or they may have been holding inappropriate ideas about sex, or they lack love and acceptance between partners. Male impotence, excluding physiological factors, psychological inferiority, lack of confidence in their masculinity and aggression, excessive pressure, fear of women, or feeling guilty, confused, afraid of loss, patients may also be some personal reasons such as life experience or cognitive deviation.

19. Insomnia: Most insomnia is psychogenic and emotional. Insomniacs can’t let go of their subconscious, lack of trust, long-term emotional tension in life, fear, distrust of life, and excessive pressure in life, anxiety, neurasthenia and hypochondria.

20, lethargy: inner resistance to real life, not getting up in the morning is afraid to face reality, is dodging the challenges and responsibilities of life, unwilling to take the initiative to do things, to avoid waking up.

21. Addiction: Escape from things in life, eager to get something, but stop looking for it too early, and stay at the level of some substitute at present. When the substitute goal is lost, it will never get tired, and refuses to admit that the current goal is wrong. The real goal needs to continue looking for, and it is to fill the emptiness and confusion with foreign objects.

22. Alcoholism: escape from real conflicts and problems in life, get the illusion that everything is beautiful with alcohol, and create the illusion that people are close to each other. There is no real depth and intimacy. The treatment needs to take medicine, so that patients can feel the smell of alcohol and get rid of it.

Speeding up the construction of a unified national market and defining six key tasks

  The Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Accelerating the Construction of a Unified National Market was released on the 10th, which defined the key tasks from six aspects: strengthening the unification of market basic system rules, promoting high-standard connectivity of market facilities, creating a unified factor and resource market, promoting high-level unification of goods and services markets, promoting fair and unified market supervision, and further regulating improper market competition and market intervention, aiming at continuously promoting the efficient and smooth domestic market and expanding its scale. Accelerate the creation of a stable, fair, transparent and predictable business environment, further reduce market transaction costs, promote scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading, and cultivate new advantages in participating in international competition and cooperation.

  Building a unified national market is the basic support and internal requirement for building a new development pattern. The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said in an interview with the media that in recent years, important progress has been made in the construction of a unified national market, but we should also see that there are still some problems that hinder the construction of a unified national market in practice, such as prominent market segmentation and local protection, imperfect market construction of factors and resources, imperfect market quality system of goods and services, inconsistent market supervision rules, standards and procedures, and insufficient role of super-large markets in technological innovation and industrial upgrading. Implementing the strategic plan of building a new development pattern will inevitably require speeding up the construction of a unified national market and smoothing the national cycle.

  "The Party Central Committee and the State Council issued implementation opinions, which clarified the overall requirements, main objectives and key tasks of accelerating the construction of a unified national market from a global and strategic perspective, and provided a program of action for the construction of a unified national market in the coming period, which will certainly have an important impact on deepening reform and opening up under the new situation, making better use of and consolidating the great advantages of China’s market resources, and comprehensively promoting the transformation of China’s market from large to strong." The person in charge said.

  The opinion emphasizes that it is necessary to speed up the establishment of unified national market system rules, break local protection and market segmentation, open up key blocking points that restrict the economic cycle, promote the smooth flow of commodity elements and resources in a wider scope, and accelerate the construction of a national unified big market that is efficient, standardized, fair and open.

  Specifically, the opinions adhere to the problem-oriented and simultaneous innovation, and clarify the key tasks of building a unified national market from six aspects.

  From the standpoint of legislation, it is clear that we should do a good job in the "five unifications." First, strengthen the unification of market basic system rules, promote the improvement of a unified property rights protection system, implement a unified market access system, maintain a unified fair competition system, and improve a unified social credit system. The second is to promote high-standard connectivity of market facilities, focusing on upgrading the circulation network, smoothing information exchange and enriching platform functions, and strive to improve market operation efficiency. The third is to create a unified factor and resource market, and promote the establishment and improvement of a unified land and labor market, capital market, technology and data market, energy market and ecological environment market. Fourth, promote the high-level unification of commodity and service markets, focus on areas of concern to the people and market participants, and strive to improve the quality and standard system. The fifth is to promote the fairness and unity of market supervision, to enhance the stability and predictability of supervision as a guarantee, and strive to improve the efficiency of supervision.

  From a broken point of view, it is clear that improper market competition and market intervention should be further regulated. The opinions are clearly deployed from five aspects: strengthening anti-monopoly, investigating and dealing with unfair competition according to law, breaking down local protection and regional barriers, cleaning up and abolishing the provisions and practices that hinder equal access and exit according to law, and continuously cleaning up the provisions and practices that violate the construction of a unified market in the field of bidding and procurement, aiming at breaking all kinds of explicit and implicit barriers that restrict the construction of a unified national market.

  In order to promote the implementation of opinions and see actual results, the above-mentioned person in charge said that the National Development and Reform Commission and the General Administration of Market Supervision will establish and improve the departmental coordination mechanism to promote the construction of a unified national market, increase overall coordination, and timely supervise and inspect; Improve the incentive and restraint mechanism; Explore and study the national unified big market construction standard guide; Give incentives to areas that actively promote the implementation of the national unified market construction and achieve outstanding results; Dynamically publish a list of improper intervention in the construction of a unified national market, and strive to solve the problems of improper market intervention and unfair competition that hinder the construction of a unified national market.

Sichuan cuisine pilgrimage site, two words-of course not Chengdu.

Original Tian yi chi huo institute

It’s Zigong

Yanbang cuisine, by its name, feels like a heavy-flavored cuisine. The fact is true, salt-helped dishes are born of salt, and the characteristics of the cuisine are fragrant, spicy, fresh and heavy.

Yanbang cuisine, also called "Xiaohe cuisine" in the pedigree classification of Sichuan cuisine, takes Zigong in southern Sichuan as the center and also includes Yibin cuisine, Luzhou cuisine and Neijiang cuisine around it.

Zigong in Sichuan

/Food nourished by salt resources/

Zigong is a prefecture-level city in Sichuan, and one of its subordinate districts is called ziliujing district. According to the older generation of salt workers, "gravity flow" is not an adjective, but a reality. Brine water is on the surface of the ground, gently cut a hole, and brine "gurgles" like a mountain spring.

Zigong people laughed at themselves: "This palm-sized place", at most, there were more than 10,000 salt wells, which showed that the well salt resources here were rich and the salt merchants’ trade was prosperous.

The salt needs to be boiled after it is beaten.

Under the prosperous trade, the taste of relying on salt to survive has grown: salt workers have to work hard, heavy oil and salt can ensure physical strength and fast meals, and they eat "salt workers’ dishes" with heavy taste.

Salt merchants are rich, paying attention to face and ostentation. They make the dishes carefully crafted by the chefs in your house known as "salt merchants’ dishes". Salt merchants’ dishes abandon some heavy tastes and have a light taste.

The heavy profit of salt drove businessmen from all over the world to gather in Zigong, where they set up provincial guilds, thus giving birth to "guild dishes" that gathered local characteristics and absorbed the practices of various factions.

Light and tasty chicken tofu pudding

Maybe many people haven’t seen the salt well with their own eyes. It doesn’t have a wide wellhead and water surface visible to the naked eye as most people think. Most of the bittern is buried several hundred meters or even thousands of meters from the ground. People use all kinds of heavy tools to dig the well bit by bit, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, 200 meters, 300 meters and 800 meters, until the bittern water is produced, and the wellhead is no bigger than a sea bowl.

To draw bittern is to put a long bamboo tube deep into the bottom of the well, pour bittern and lift it to the ground. Whether drilling wells or extracting brine, you need to rely on ladders, winches and cows up to tens of meters. The work on the well is around the clock, and so are the cows pulling the winch. It takes about 50 turns to draw a bucket of bittern. Because of the excessive labor intensity, many cows will die in less than one year.

Dead cows can’t be wasted. For salt workers who are also working hard, beef is an excellent energy source. Many traditional beef dishes in Yanbang cuisine were born.

Nowadays, boiled beef, which is common in major Sichuan cuisine restaurants, is one of the representatives of salt industry dishes. The spicy taste is thick, smooth and palatable, and the flavor is strong. The enthusiasm of boiled beef is very similar to that of Sichuan people.

Authentic yanbangcai

/Not just spicy and spicy/

When I went to Zigong a while ago, I was lucky enough to invite a famous local chef to cook a table of authentic salt dishes for us. The impression that salt dishes are spicy and heavy was greatly subverted, and we can also get a glimpse of the reason why Sichuan cuisine can go out of Sichuan and conquer the world.

■ Boiled beef

Let’s start with boiled beef. Is this dish particularly common? But this time I ate something unusual.

At present, the common practice of boiling beef in water is to fry lettuce tips, bean sprouts and other vegetables first, then put the pickled beef in a pan and lubricate it, and finally put it in the sauce and fry it together, and finally pour oil on the table.

However, in the traditional way of boiling beef, you should first stir-fry the ingredients, then stir-fry the vegetables. The sauce has the smell of vegetables, then use it to cook the beef, and finally put in the knife-edge pepper and serve it with oil.

Traditional boiled beef

Although it is only a small difference in steps, it actually tests the chef’s temperature. Stir-fry vegetables first, then beef. If you don’t master the heat well, it will burn. Therefore, for the convenience of the map and the stability of the product, vegetables and beef are usually cooked separately in general restaurants by default.

In the traditional way, vegetables, beef and sauces are combined, and you have me and I have you, and the hemp, spicy, fresh, fragrant and fragrant are compound and rich in layers-this should be the reason why boiled beef is the first Sichuan dish to catch fire.

■ Fireside beef

Another beef dish, which can be served as a cold dish or as a snack, is fireside beef.

Legend has it that this is also the invention of salt workers. In the old days, salt merchants paid beef as part of their wages to salt workers. The salt workers first soaked large pieces of beef in brine to taste, then cut them into extremely thin, almost light-transmissive slices, salted them, spread them flat on a shelf and dried them, and then smoked them by the fire with cow dung as fuel, from which came the "fireside beef". The dried beef slices are crisp but not cotton, and the entrance is crisp and tough.

Huobianzi beef

According to the chef, the process of this dish is not complicated, but it needs a lot of care and experience, because if the beef is cut thin and then spread flat on the bamboo sticks for air drying and smoking, if the experience or patience are insufficient, the meat slices will not be formed, and it will be impossible to become a dish. Therefore, this is all meticulous work, which is very wasteful.

Sichuan has always been one of the places where beef is eaten the most and can be eaten in a variety of ways. Hot yellow throat, hot hairy belly and other dishes made by cattle in the water are also the favorite of salt workers. While salt workers were boiling, frying and baking, chefs working for wealthy businessmen and nobles began to disassemble and cook cows in more detail.

■ Yipin Niutoufang

Yipin Niutoufang is considered as a typical official dish of Shanghe Gang in Sichuan cuisine, and it can also be found in the guild dishes of Yanbang.

Niutoufang is made by burning the skin at the top of the cow’s head to remove the rough epidermis and hairy roots. After a long time, the meat is thick and soft, the gum is elastic and tough, and the aroma is solid and rich. Niutoufang is by no means a stunning taste, but a thick and delicious food in a silent place. Now there are only a handful of chefs who can produce this dish.

Yipin niutoufang

This delicate idea has also been used in other dishes-liver cake soup, a famous and almost lost old dish.

■ Liver cake soup

Liver cake soup is one of the three clear soup dishes in Sichuan cuisine. It is made of liver, clear as water and mellow in taste. Luo Chengji, a scholar of Zigong literature and history, once mentioned "mushroom liver ointment soup" in his works. If it is not difficult for many professional chefs to cook clear soup like water, then making "liver cream" is not the secret that everyone can master.

Liver cake soup

This time, in the hands of Zigong famous chefs, we are also fortunate to taste it. For this dish, the chef began to cook soup from 9: 00 in the morning, with old chicken, ribs, chicken feet, lean meat and ham as the base materials, and kept it boiling for 7 hours with minimal fire.

And the other protagonist: liver, the traditional practice is to use pig liver, and modern chefs will choose a more delicate foie gras. The method of making liver cake was gently taken by the chef, and it was "steamed". In fact, there are secrets in seasoning and modulation. Of course, the cooking skill is still the key. If you don’t master the cooking well, the liver cake is too tender or too rough, and you can’t form a delicate and dense taste.

When the broth has been boiled for enough time, add chicken breast meat and pork meat to absorb blood foam impurities, and then filter for several times until the soup is clear as water and yellowish in color. Then put the shaped and flavored liver cake into the clear soup and steam it in the cage for several minutes before the liver cake soup is ready.

In this dish, the taste of soup is very light, and all the delicious ingredients have been melted into the soup. The elephant is invisible, as elusive as a shadow, and people can’t help but want to catch up and take another look. The entrance of liver cake is delicate and mellow, which is in contrast with the lightness of soup.

However, in the eyes of local people, the dish that can best get through the upper and lower classes in Zigong is the rabbit.

Tutu is so cute, it must be delicious.

There are too many ways for rabbits to eat in salt dishes, such as cold rabbit, double pepper rabbit, dried pepper rabbit, dry pot rabbit, soaked rabbit, scalded rabbit …

Dried pepper rabbit

There were two rabbits in the chef’s banquet: fresh pot rabbit and scalded skin rabbit.

■ Fresh pot rabbit

Fresh pot rabbit, strictly speaking, belongs to the new school of salt-help dishes, which evolved from the traditional double pepper rabbit. No Zigong chef is not perfect in cooking rabbits.

Double pepper rabbit

Fresh pot rabbit is seasoned with fresh pepper, and the soup is used as the base. It is hot and spicy, heavy oil and heavy salt, and it must be served with two bowls of white rice, which is really enjoyable. Diners joked: it’s really a salt-helped dish, so I’m too willing to put salt in it, so I have to use a big bowl of rice to match it. This combination means that I have to do something.

Xianguotu

■ Scalded rabbit

The scalded rabbit is a typical traditional salt merchant dish. "Hot" is actually boiled. The beauty of the word "hot" is that the rabbit meat is delicate. After a short period of boiling, the rabbit meat with a little oil is smoother. It is slightly salty and tender when eaten directly, and the taste is progressive step by step when dipped in water, which is enough to satisfy the guests from all walks of life.

In addition, because of the Tuojiang River, Minjiang River and Fuxi River, in the eyes of the salt chef, fresh river and waterfowl can also have ever-changing tricks.

Salt helps a duck. Take an old duck, remove its bones, stuff it into pork belly, ham and dried bamboo shoots, steam it, and scoop it with a spoon when eating it. It is unusually soft and delicious. Eat loach cold, fry fresh loach first and then fry, let it cool before eating, crispy with glutinous rice, heat and seasoning are indispensable; The young ginger frog, which Zigong people think is small and flexible, is fresher than the bullfrog with thick meat. After the young ginger is fried with the frog, its position is not only an auxiliary material, but often robbed by everyone with the frog …

Young ginger frog

Only after eating this meal did I know that the folk saying that "a salt merchant has a dish and a salt worker has food for half a year" is not empty talk, but it does not mean how valuable ingredients salt merchants like.

Just like the "eggplant" that surprised granny Liu, eggplant and old hen are nothing but ordinary things, even if abalone has wings and belly, it is not rare. What is really rare is to find someone who is willing to spend time and effort to cook ordinary food to amazement. That is the gorgeous chapter seen in the ordinary.

  As one of the most important basic components, relay is a necessary and core electronic control basic component in the whole circuit control system, which is widely used in the fields of home appliances, industrial control, automobiles, communications, electricity, energy, security, aerospace and so on, and its main function is to realize "automatic and remote" control. Among these fields, household appliances, automobiles and industrial control, as traditional industries, have always been the fields with the largest amount of relays. Although the downward pressure on the global economy has increased under the influence of the epidemic during the reporting period, individual fields, such as electric power (especially smart grid), security monitoring, smart home and new energy (especially photovoltaic power generation and new energy vehicles), as emerging industries, are driven by industrial policies in China and the world, with strong development momentum. China is still the main production base of relays, accounting for about 50% of the global total output. There are many manufacturers, but there are few manufacturers with a certain scale, the industry concentration is not high, and the market competition is fierce.

  The company’s comprehensive economic indicators have been in the leading position in domestic peer enterprises for many years. At the end of the reporting period, the company’s overall sales revenue was 10.023 billion yuan, up 28.18% year-on-year. The company produced more than 3 billion relays, low-voltage electrical appliances and other products throughout the year, and its main relay products have steadily increased their market share in the global market. In 2021, the company’s products were eye-catching in the high-end market: the market share of general relays in high-end smart home appliances was further consolidated and expanded, becoming the most important supplier and reliable strategic partner of many global high-end home appliance brands; As the core component, the sealed electromagnetic relay is installed in China’s first standardized subway train, Rio Tinto’s rail transit market, which fills the gap in domestic rail transit relays; High-voltage DC relay has grown rapidly, and has established business cooperation relations with mainstream new energy vehicle manufacturers around the world, becoming the world’s major manufacturer of high-voltage DC relay; Photovoltaic new energy products keep up with the rapid development of the industry, and the market share of high-end customers has increased by nearly 60%, and the overall market share has increased to 57%. The deep expansion of the high-end market has pushed the company to stride forward on the road of high-quality development.

  During the reporting period, many projects of the company were carried out smoothly and won many important honors: the "14 th Five-Year Plan" project of Hongfa Western Intelligent Industrial Park was launched; The company’s national intelligence creation new model project passed the acceptance; In China, the comprehensive ranking of economic indicators of electronic component enterprises rose to the sixth place, the best ranking in history, and the ranking of the top 100 enterprises with electronic information competitiveness and the top 500 listed enterprises in China has also been continuously improved, and at the same time, it has once again won the "China Brand Value List".

  In the future, under the guidance of the three development ideas and the 16-character management policy, we will always adhere to the principle of "winning by quality", vigorously inherit and carry forward Hongfa culture, strengthen our faith, be determined to innovate, keep forging ahead, never be satisfied, work hard, overcome the risk challenges on the way forward, enhance our development momentum, plant our development advantages, and constantly push Hongfa career to a new height.

  (4) Possible risks

  I. Operational risks

  The company’s main products cover relays, low-voltage electrical appliances, high-voltage and low-voltage complete sets of equipment and other categories, and are applied to household appliances, smart homes, automobile industry, smart grid, industrial control, new energy and other fields. If macroeconomic fluctuations, policy adjustments and other factors affect the prosperity of downstream industries or downstream market demand, it may adversely affect the company’s operating performance.

  Since 2018, trade frictions between China and the United States have been constant. The US government has successively issued three batches of tariff increase lists, in which 25% tariffs are imposed on goods worth $34 billion, $16 billion and $200 billion exported from China to the United States, and relay products are also included in the tariff increase list. Although at present, the products directly sold by the company to the United States account for a relatively small proportion, which has little impact on the company, if the trade friction between China and the United States is further aggravated or there is trade friction between China and other economies in the future, barriers will be set up in terms of trade policies and tariffs, which may have an adverse impact on the company’s operating performance, profitability and market development.

  The main raw materials of relay products include copper, silver, enameled wire, engineering plastics, etc. The prices of the main raw materials are affected by the fluctuation of the international market of bulk commodities, which directly affects the product profits and the company’s working capital. If the price of the company’s main raw materials fluctuates violently in the future, and the company cannot transfer the negative impact of the price increase of raw materials to downstream enterprises by raising the sales price of products, it will have an adverse impact on the company’s operating performance.

  Second, the brain drain risk

  Technicians are very important for the long-term development of relay manufacturers. At present, the high-end relay with high technology content and large profit margin has become the development direction of the industry. Whether it can occupy the high-end market is the key for relay manufacturers to achieve sustainable development. The research and development of high-end relays requires specialized technicians, complete professional knowledge and wide knowledge of other majors, and it takes years of training and practice to truly design and develop new products independently. At the same time, a large number of key technology positions on the production line also need experienced skilled workers to be competent. Therefore, professionals are more important in the relay industry. If brain drain occurs, enterprises will face related losses. The core management and technical backbone of the company hold the company’s equity through qualified investment, and their personal interests can be consistent with the company’s development. Through this shareholding method of management and backbone personnel, the core personnel of Acer Power Generation can be kept relatively stable.

  Third, technical risks

  The Technology Center is the core of the issuer’s technological innovation system, and undertakes major research tasks such as product development and design, process design and verification, product performance testing and analysis, mold development and design and manufacturing, automatic production line equipment, test instrument development and design, etc. R&D investment ensures that the company’s products have excellent market competitiveness. If the company can’t continue to invest in R&D or technological innovation in the future, the products will not meet the needs of customers and the requirements of industry changes, and the market competitiveness will decline, thus affecting the company’s profitability.

  Fourth, financial risks

  Overseas income accounts for a relatively high proportion of the company’s main business income. The company’s overseas business is mainly settled in foreign currency. If the RMB exchange rate changes greatly, it will cause fluctuations in the balance of the company’s foreign currency monetary assets, and foreign exchange receipts and payments will generate large exchange gains and losses, which will further affect the company’s operating performance. At the same time, the fluctuation of exchange rate may also affect the price of products in overseas markets and face the risk of declining market competitiveness. The company has continuously summarized and improved the exchange rate risk management and control methods suitable for its own needs, locked the exchange rate in time through the analysis of the exchange rate market and operating income, and established a set of foreign exchange management methods and processes. Under the premise of comprehensively considering market liquidity and management costs, it actively pays attention to monetary policy and exchange rate trends, selects the timing of foreign exchange locking and settlement in a timely manner, and rationally uses financial instruments to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on enterprises and avoid exchange rate risks.

  V. Policy risks

  Electronic components industry is the basic support of electronic information industry, and its development is strongly supported and encouraged by national policies. In recent years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments have successively issued a number of policies to encourage and promote the rapid development of the electronic information industry, such as the Information Industry Development Guide, the Special Action Plan for Improving the Design Capability of Manufacturing Industry (2019-2022) and the Basic Electronic Components Industry Development Action Plan (2021-2023). In the future, if the relevant policies of the country on electronic components industry or electronic information industry change, it may lead to certain adverse effects on the company’s operating performance.

  VI. Risks related to the issuance of this convertible bond

  (A) principal and interest payment risk

  During the duration of the convertible bonds, the issuer shall pay interest on the unconverted convertible bonds and pay the principal at maturity. In addition, when the convertible bonds trigger the resale conditions, if the investors put forward the resale, the issuer still needs to honor the resale proposed by the investors, and will face certain cash expenditure pressure in a short time. The convertible bonds issued this time did not provide guarantee. Therefore, if the issuer’s business activities fail to achieve the expected return due to uncontrollable factors such as national policies, regulations, industries and markets in the future, it may affect the issuer’s timely and full payment of the principal and interest of convertible bonds and the acceptance ability of investors when they sell back.

  (2) The risk of failure to convert convertible bonds into shares at maturity

  The stock price is not only influenced by the issuer’s profit level and development prospect, but also by the national macroeconomic situation, political and economic policies, investors’ investment preferences, expected returns of investment projects and other factors. If the convertible bonds issued this time fail to be converted due to the sluggish stock price trend of the issuer or the investment preference of the holders of the convertible bonds, the issuer shall pay the principal and interest for the convertible bonds that have not been converted, which will correspondingly increase the financial cost burden and financial pressure of the company. In addition, during the existence of the convertible bonds, if the convertible bonds are redeemed, the company will face certain financial pressure.

  (C) the risk of reducing the conversion value of convertible bonds

  The issuer’s stock price trend is influenced by many factors, such as operating results, macroeconomic situation, industry policies, and the overall situation of the stock market. After the issuance of the convertible bonds, the issuer’s share price may continue to be lower than the conversion price of the convertible bonds, so the conversion value of the convertible bonds may decrease, and the interests of the holders of the convertible bonds may be greatly adversely affected. This issuance has set the downward revision clause of the issuer’s share conversion price. If the issuer fails to revise the conversion price downward in time, or even if the conversion price is revised downward, the stock price is still lower than the conversion price, which may still lead to the reduction of the conversion value of the convertible bonds issued this time, and the interests of the holders of convertible bonds may be greatly adversely affected.

  (D) Risks related to downward revision of the conversion price

  1. Risk of failure to implement the downward revision clause of conversion price.

  During the duration of the convertible bonds issued this time, when the closing price of the company’s shares is lower than 90% of the current conversion price for at least 15 trading days in any continuous 30 trading days, the board of directors of the company has the right to propose a downward revision plan for the conversion price and submit it to the shareholders’ meeting for deliberation and voting. This plan can only be implemented if it is approved by more than two-thirds of the voting rights held by shareholders attending the meeting.

  Under the condition of meeting the downward revision conditions of convertible bonds’ conversion price, the issuer’s board of directors may still not propose the downward revision plan of conversion price based on multiple considerations such as the company’s actual situation, stock price trend and market factors; Or the downward revision plan of the conversion price proposed by the issuer’s board of directors has not been reviewed and approved by the shareholders’ meeting. Therefore, the holders of convertible bonds may face the risk that the downward revision of the conversion price will not be implemented during the duration.

  2. Risk of downward revision of the conversion price with uncertain range.

  During the existence of the issuer’s convertible bonds, even if the issuer revises the conversion price according to the downward revision clause, the revised conversion price shall not be lower than the higher average price of the company’s shares in the 20 trading days before the shareholders’ meeting to consider the proposal on the conversion price revision scheme and the average price of the previous trading day, so the correction range of the conversion price is limited to some extent, and there is a risk of uncertainty. Moreover, if the stock price continues to fall after the correction and the future stock price continues to be lower than the conversion price after the downward correction, the conversion value of the convertible bonds will undergo major adverse changes, which may lead to the risk that the convertible bonds will be sold back or cannot be converted during the conversion period.

  3. The downward revision of the conversion price leads to the risk of the company’s share capital dilution.

  During the duration of the convertible bonds, if the issuer’s shares trigger the downward revision of the conversion price, the conversion price of the convertible bonds issued this time will be adjusted downward. Under the condition of the same conversion scale, the number of shares converted by the issuer will increase accordingly, which will lead to the expansion of the dilution of the share capital. Therefore, during the duration, the issuer may face the risk of increasing the dilution degree of the share capital due to the implementation of the downward revision clause of the conversion price.

  (V) Risk of price fluctuation of convertible bonds

  Convertible bonds, as derivative financial products, have the dual characteristics of stocks and bonds. The secondary market price of convertible bonds is influenced by many factors, such as market interest rate level, coupon rate, remaining years, conversion price, stock price of listed companies, redemption terms and resale terms, investors’ psychological expectations, etc. The price fluctuation situation is more complicated, and even there may be abnormal fluctuations or deviations from their investment value, which may make investors face certain investment risks.

  (VI) Liquidity risk

  The trading activity of the securities trading market is influenced by the macroeconomic environment, the distribution of investors, investors’ willingness to trade and other factors. The issuer cannot guarantee that the holders of the convertible bonds can trade their bonds in full and at any time after listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Therefore, after purchasing this convertible bond, investors may face the liquidity risk that they can’t sell the amount they want to sell in full at a certain price because the bond is inactive after listing.

  (7) Risk of credit rating change

  After the new century credit rating, the issuer’s main credit rating is AA, and the credit rating of this convertible bond is AA. During the validity period of the credit rating of this convertible bond or the duration of this convertible bond, the tracking rating will be conducted at least once a year in the new century, and the issuer cannot guarantee that its main credit rating and the credit rating of this convertible bond will not change negatively during the validity period of the credit rating or the duration of the bond. If the credit rating agency lowers the issuer’s main credit rating and/or the credit rating of this convertible bond, it may have a certain impact on the interests of bondholders.

  Eight, the risk of COVID-19 epidemic.

  In recent years, novel coronavirus broke out one after another in various regions of the world, which had a great impact on the world macro-economy. Subject to quarantine measures, traffic control and other epidemic prevention and control measures, the company’s procurement, production and sales are affected to some extent in the short term. Although the domestic COVID-19 epidemic has been effectively controlled, the issuer has resumed normal production and operation, and all work has been carried out in an orderly manner, if the COVID-19 epidemic recurs in China or continues to spread around the world for a long time, it may still have a certain degree of adverse impact on the company’s strategic implementation, production and operation, and performance.

  The above possible risks have not changed much from the risk factors suggested in the previous year (or prospectus).
