The engineer incarnates as a "fruit hunter": the person who wants to be the most knowledgeable about fruits in China.

  Sabah fruit, like a ball of wool, has rows of compact "match sticks" on the peel, which feels the same as touching a freshly shaved head; The banana industry’s "family bucket" of horn bananas, one top ten, guarantees that you can’t eat the second after eating one; The bullet-seed melon that will pop out its seeds when it matures, the sea bottom coconut that is vividly called "woman’s ass fruit", and the shampoo fruit that is said to have a faint violet fragrance even after eating it … … These fruits that you have never heard of once appeared on Yang Xiaoyang’s target list, and now they have become his "trophies". Their photos lie quietly in his computer, and only the owner of the photos, Yang Xiaoyang, knows how much bitterness was behind the "intimate encounter".

  Yang Xiaoyang is 30 years old, and the title of "Fruit Hunter" has been with him for a long time. He has eaten more than 600 kinds of fruits, including more than 100 kinds of durian alone. Since he decided to be a "fruit hunter" in 2013, he has almost traveled to hundreds of rainforests in Singapore, Malaysia and other places, photographed hundreds of thousands of plants and witnessed more than 30,000 kinds of plants with his own eyes, accounting for almost 1/10 of the world. Although he seems to be a "fruit encyclopedia" now, in fact, his major in college is far from fruit — — Precision manufacturing.

  Being a happy person who "dares to do what he likes" in the netizen’s mouth, Yang Xiaoyang said that the experience of looking for fruit is far from as easy as everyone imagined, and he is not a "rich second generation" who "eats 500,000 fruits at his own expense every year". On top of curiosity, his ultimate goal is to do his best to make some contributions to the protection of plant diversity.

  The precision manufacturing engineer plunged into the botanical garden

  The interview with Yang Xiaoyang was held in a coffee shop. A few days ago, the position of his circle of friends showed that he had once again "gone down to the rainforest" and "the place was Sumatra, Indonesia". This is obviously not the first close contact with the rainforest of Sumatra. This time, he photographed the Titan konjac (also known as "corpse konjac" because of its stench) that is about to bloom. A few years ago, he took a photo with the flowering Amorphophallus konjac. Facts have proved once again that it is a myth to say that it can "eat people" when it blooms, and it stinks only to attract insects to pollinate it.

  Black-rimmed glasses, healthy wheat skin, and backpack. From the outside, Yang Xiaoyang is a typical "engineering male", slightly introverted and unsociable, but his eyes are shining when he talks about plants.

  Yang Xiaoyang was born in rural Henan, and was brought up by his grandmother. His childhood without his parents made him somewhat withdrawn, but the flowers and plants in the fields gave him endless happiness. "When I was a child, I was barefoot in the fields, and I especially liked to see weeds. At that time, I felt that the grass was actually very beautiful." Yang Xiaoyang said that when he was very young, he observed that geranium seeds would roll, and later he read in books that it did.

  After graduating from high school, Yang Xiaoyang chose to study in Singapore, majoring in precision manufacturing. Witnessed Singapore from "city garden" in the early years to "city in the garden" today, Yang Xiaoyang, who loved plants since childhood, was deeply touched by the progress of urban concept. After school, his favorite thing to do is to visit botanical gardens and nature reserves, which fully satisfies his desire for exploration and builds a basic understanding of plants in Southeast Asia. Stepping into the door of botany, Yang Xiaoyang wandered among them and enjoyed it, "like digging a treasure".

  From machinery makers to plants, it seems that there is no boundary. However, in Yang Xiaoyang’s eyes, plants themselves are a very precise series of expressions. Every plant is a product, but its manufacturing is more advanced. It is alive and does not need human drive.

  In 2013, Yang Xiaoyang, a college graduate, entered a local precision manufacturing enterprise in Singapore. In that year, Indonesia’s "Ba-burning Movement" got out of control, which led to the worst haze in Singapore’s history. Yang Xiaoyang said that this incident made him sad, because there may be many plant species that have not been discovered by the scientific community on those burned mountains.

  After the haze disaster, Yang Xiaoyang quit his job as an engineer and went directly to the rainforest in kalimantan island, Indonesia, where he wanted to find his own direction. After more than ten days of rainforest exploration, he said that he couldn’t walk at all, and there were too many unknown plants waiting for him to discover. After that, he strengthened his belief in doing something for plant protection. Later, south china botanical garden of Chinese Academy of Sciences extended an olive branch to him, and he was determined to devote himself to plant introduction and conservation.

  At the end of 2013, when I just returned to China, my friend gave Yang Xiaoyang a book "The Fruit Hunter" by Canadian Adam Reese goellner. Yang Xiaoyang thinks that the theme of this book is very well conceived, but from a professional point of view, there are many artistic processing elements, which are not the truth of science. In addition, there is no "fruit hunter" culture in China, so he decided to focus on the field of fruits from Southeast Asia.

  Recover a life from the mouth of a python by "the golden eye of fire"

  Since he decided to be a "fruit hunter" in 2013, he has almost traveled all over the important rainforests in Singapore and Malaysia. November of each year to February of the following year is the peak period of fruit hunting. He has to arrange his own itinerary according to the fruit period. He often runs out for a few days and is half dead. He comes back to sort out the information and rest for two days, and then starts again. Tragedy of making a trip in vain happens from time to time. Yang Xiaoyang told reporters that some time ago, he went to the Limeng area of Malaysia to look for a turtle durian. This durian is different from ordinary durian trees. Its fruit grows at the base of the trunk and looks like a group of turtles from a distance. Yang Xiaoyang was particularly excited. He told the local guide not to touch it in advance. He wanted to take a complete photo. However, the ripening season of the tortoise durian happened to be the Spring Festival in China. When he hurried there, all the fruits fell off. "It’s a week late, what a pity!"

  Yang Xiaoyang’s "golden eyes" have been trained by drilling in the rainforest all the year round. He can search for his target like a scanner in a large lush rainforest, and even find new plant species in the roadside Woods in a speeding car. Therefore, he is often ridiculed by friends in the same plant circle: "These eyes are worth over 100 million yuan."

  With these eyes, he once "picked up" a life. It was when he was looking for paramita in the tropical rain forest of Malaysia. From the sound of stepping on the leaves, he judged that it was a Malayan paramita. When he looked down at the fruit with his camera, an unusual object flashed by his feet. He subconsciously took a step back and looked intently. It was a baby python about three meters long. "I stayed there and didn’t dare to take pictures with the camera. The python was spitting letters and smelling my breath. If I stepped on it, I would be in trouble." Yang Xiaoyang said with a smile.

  In addition to pythons, he also met crocodiles, clouded leopards, Sumatran tigers, bears, etc. In Yang Xiaoyang’s view, the most dangerous thing in the rainforest is to meet people — — Real hunters. "Poachers carry guns. They don’t care what I do. They killed me in the rainforest. No one knows." He said that in some countries, before going to inspect, they will report to the local public security bureau, and the police will send people with guns to protect these inspection teams, so that poachers dare not hurt them.

  How can we find those target fruits in the vast virgin rainforest? Yang Xiaoyang told reporters that in addition to relying on his years of expertise in plant classification, searching according to the location recorded in plant specimens is also inseparable from the help of local guides. The guides grew up in the forest and knew a lot about all kinds of fruits, but later, it became more and more difficult to find the fruits he was looking for, and even the ancestors of the guides had never seen them. There will also be a situation where the guide stood him up. At that time, there was no time to find a second guide. What should I do? He had to bite the bullet and learn some Malay words in a week, so there was no problem in daily communication.

  Another good way to find fruit is to "soak" in the local fruit market, which is another treasure land, where he first saw the loquat awn with lavender-eyed nuts. Another time, in order to find a kind of fruit, we need to have a good relationship with the local indigenous people, and we have to help the indigenous fruit vendors in the traditional market sell fruit. "Business is not bad, and the indigenous vendors next to us are jealous." Yang Xiaoyang enjoys it.

  The fruit industry "Shennong" was accidentally poisoned.

  Because of "occupational disease", every time Yang Xiaoyang finds a new fruit, he must first take photos carefully. If local laws allow it, seal it with a fresh-keeping bag and take it home, then carefully "dissect" it under the light, observe its seeds and pulp, and then taste it carefully. In most cases, the principle he follows is to try a small amount on the spot after taking photos. "Every time I find a new fruit, that kind of joy will resolve all the hard work on the road." Yang Xiaoyang’s taste buds have been hit again and again — — After eating it, lemons are all sweet mysterious fruits, rice cake fruits with milk flavor that feel "electric shock" when put in your mouth, Elaeagnus mollis Thunb, which is 3,000 times sweeter than sucrose, and snakeskin fruit & HELIP; … Of all, Yang Xiaoyang thinks that the most shocking thing is Jinguangguo. Although it looks like a meteor hammer, the aroma of fruit juice is ten times more delicious than that of strawberries.

  Many people yearn for Yang Xiaoyang’s career, calling him "Shennong in the fruit industry", but in fact, he is very cautious about the fruit he has never eaten. In his words, "Otherwise, I may not be able to sit here and have tea and chat with you." In 2015, the world annona group led by him was inspected in a protected area in Guangdong, and experts found the ripe fruit of Guafu wood in the wild, which looked delicious. Experts began to taste it, and Yang Xiaoyang was moved when he saw it. First, he tried it with the tip of his tongue, no problem, and then he ate one. However, after a few minutes, he felt something was wrong, unable to speak, and his throat felt as uncomfortable as if he had been stabbed. Then he poured water and gargled wildly, but fortunately he didn’t eat much. After half an hour, he slowly recovered. Later, he learned that only some people are sensitive to guafu wood.

  Shampoo fruit must be on every tropical fruit hunter’s hunting list, and many British nobles are eager to find this kind of fruit. This is a magical fruit. It is said that after eating it, it smells fragrant all over. Even sweating, urinating and farting have a faint violet fragrance. It is only distributed in Java, Indonesia, and is exclusively for the royal family in Indonesia. The fruit hunter who hasn’t eaten shampoo fruit is not a real fruit hunter. Yang Xiaoyang finally found it with great efforts, but because of the previous poisoning experience, he didn’t dare to eat more, just licked a few mouthfuls, went back to the hotel and drank more water. When he felt it, he closed the bathroom door, and he quietly waited for the fragrance to emanate, but he didn’t. "Maybe I ate too little, but I believe the legend about it is true."

  Many fruits that Yang Xiaoyang found are rare or even endangered varieties, and many people will ask him where they found them. "I won’t expose these points casually, because I’m not sure what he wants to do, and he may destroy them. Only friends who are like-minded and know the roots will say it. "

  Sea coconut is called "woman’s ass fruit" because of its unique shape. It is only produced in Seychelles, and the fruit ripens only once every few years, and now it is endangered. Therefore, even if it is hard to find the trace of sea coconut, Yang Xiaoyang will give up tasting it. Another time, in the rainforest of Sumatra, he found some round fruit Du Ying. The stone inside looked very familiar. It was "King Kong Bodhi", and a six-petal one in China would cost several hundred yuan. After struggling for a little while, he still picked up only a few of the hundreds of fruits that fell from the ground for dissection and souvenir.

  There is no mine at home. I thought about opening a Taobao shop to sell durian to earn money.

  How many people are eager for durian, how many people avoid it. Yang Xiaoyang is an out-and-out "durian control". He has tasted more than 100 kinds of durians, and even a circle of various durians is placed around the WeChat avatar. Before he went to Singapore to study in 2008, he had never tried this kind of fruit with special taste. The first time I ate durian was in the corner near a small vegetable market. The durian was sold by an uncle who was about 50 years old and had a cigarette in his chest. After wandering in front of the booth for a long time, he carefully asked, "Aren’t durians all smelly?"? Why is this taste fresh and has no smell at all? " Uncle’s words have made him unforgettable so far. "The real durian is not smelly, and only those who don’t understand durian think it stinks."

  "A durian is as deep as the sea". Eating durian for the first time made him "happy and want to cry". Since then, he has made more friends who like durian and organized groups to look for delicious durian everywhere. The durian in Singapore couldn’t satisfy these senior durians, so they got a visa and set off for Penang, the legendary durian sanctuary. There, Yang Xiaoyang ate the old tree red shrimp durian, which can last for three months after a bite, as well as the famous Shanba durian, black thorn durian, centipede durian and Zhuge Liang durian & HELIP; …

  Yang Xiaoyang said that in fact, everyone’s understanding of durian in China is very shallow. For example, durian with an opening is mature, which is obviously a misunderstanding. Durian’s opening statement shows that it is not fresh. There is a single variety of durian in China, and the most famous one may be the golden pillow durian. If let Yang Xiaoyang score, out of 100 points, Golden Pillow Durian can only get 15-20 points. There are at least 600 varieties of durian in Southeast Asia. Why are so many varieties with better taste rarely seen in China? In Yang Xiaoyang’s view, it is precisely because we have few choices that we have misunderstandings about durian, thinking that golden pillows are the best. When durian growers see this situation, they will expand their planting, and gradually other varieties of durian will become less and less.

  Yang Xiaoyang wants to write a monograph on durian, which has not been done in China. His original intention is to let more people realize the diversity and beauty of durian through popular science. He doesn’t want to see more and more durian varieties die out because of the market. For the public, what we can do is to understand the diversity of durian, so as to choose independently and guide the market. After that, everyone will know more about the diversity of fruits, vegetables, food and so on, which will invisibly urge the public to protect the diversity of the whole plant kingdom. This is the mission behind the "fruit hunter" and the ultimate goal he has been pursuing.

  After Yang Xiaoyang’s experience went through a hot search, many people questioned it. As the media said, "Looking for fruit costs hundreds of thousands a year at their own expense". Is this afraid that there is no mine at home? He told reporters that he is separated from the "rich second generation" by ten Java islands, and the cost of being a "fruit hunter" is quite high. If all of them are taken by themselves, there are indeed hundreds of thousands. But many times, the search for fruit is linked with scientific investigation, and the local scientific investigation needs a plant taxonomist like him, which can bear a large part of the expenses. He even thought about opening a Taobao shop and selling durians to make money when it could not be maintained. In his first popular science book "Fruit Hunter in Southeast Asia", Yang Xiaoyang wrote: "I fantasize that I turned into a durian tree at night, standing proudly in the vast tropical rain forest, quietly watching the vicissitudes of life."

A child with cerebral palsy and his mother

Mother helped the child home.

Mother helped the child home.

Text/Yangcheng Evening News reporter Li Yigetu/Yangcheng Evening News reporter Chloe Wang

  At 8 o’clock in the morning on the 25th, in an old community in Lu Dancun, Luohu, Shenzhen, a mother went out with her son, attended classes in a special school first, trained in a rehabilitation institution after lunch, and went home at 6 o’clock in the evening. This kind of day, the mother and son have gone through 10 years repeatedly.

  In a few days, it will be Children’s Day, which belongs to children’s happiness, and special children are no exception. There are 23,000 disabled children aged 0-6 and 19,000 disabled children aged 7-17 in Guangdong. These special children need more care and care from the society. Before Children’s Day, the reporter visited a special child and his family and felt the ups and downs in their daily life.

  Nine months after birth, cerebral palsy was diagnosed and missed the best treatment period.

  "My name is Wu Zihan. I’m 13 years old. I study in Yuanping Special School and I’m in the fifth grade this year. Usually I like to watch videos on the computer and I like to go out to play. " After the reporter sat down, Zi Han began to introduce himself to the reporter.

  "These are the daily activities of Zi Han." Mother Zhang Qiufeng told reporters. In the summer of 2009, Zhang Qiufeng was waiting for labor in her hometown. At that time, the medical conditions in villages and towns were limited, and she gave birth at the health center. Because of the lack of oxygen in the production process and neonatal jaundice, Zi Han was in the incubator for several days after his birth. Later, jaundice became more and more serious. When Zi Han was 9 months old, he was officially diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The best time to treat cerebral palsy is 6 months. When Zi Han was diagnosed, he had already missed the best treatment stage.

  Hundreds of dollars a day for treatment has become a problem.

  After Zi Han was diagnosed, Zhang Qiufeng took Zi Han to many hospitals, but the results were not satisfactory. "The doctor said that this is pathological congenital cerebral palsy, and the motor function of brain cells is impaired, but the intelligence is not affected." The doctor also told her bluntly at that time, don’t spend any more money on the examination, and take the money for the examination to do rehabilitation.

  For Zhang Qiufeng, the most important thing for treatment is the cost. Children with cerebral palsy have to receive rehabilitation training every day. Ten years ago, the cost of treatment in Zi Han was several hundred dollars a day. For an ordinary family, this is undoubtedly a huge expense.

  "At that time, even if we didn’t eat or drink, we couldn’t afford this huge treatment cost, so the child’s rehabilitation treatment would be stopped." Zhang Qiufeng recalled that because she could not afford the treatment, she sometimes gave her children rehabilitation training at home. However, due to Zi Han’s serious illness, what he can do is limited, so the biggest trouble every day is to find a way to raise money and borrow it everywhere. When you are lucky, you will get the support of some social caring public welfare people.

  Every day at three o’clock and one line is ten years.

  In 2012, the certificate for the disabled in Zi Han was issued. At this time, Zhang Qiufeng was relieved, and the treatment expenses were temporarily solved. Later, in order to take better care of Zi Han, Zhang Qiufeng resigned from her job, and went from home to school and then to the rehabilitation center at 3: 01 every day for 10 years.

  "Zi Han gets up at 6:00 every day, and we leave at 6:30. Dad carries him downstairs, and then we send him to school. Because eating out is more expensive, we bring our own meals every day. Dad couldn’t pick us up at noon, so we took a taxi to the institution to do rehabilitation and then took a taxi back. " Zhang Qiufeng said.

  Zi Han grew up in a special school, and most of the students in the school need to accompany him. "If he attends class in the classroom, I will wait outside the classroom." In the process of rehabilitation training, Zi Han cried for several hours at the beginning because of abnormal muscle tone. "Many children learn to dance and cry when they stretch. The pain of stretching is more serious than that of children who learn to dance." However, Zhang Qiufeng didn’t relax his demands on Zi Han because of his special nature, and sometimes he deliberately put him under some pressure.

  I like math, I love reading, and my home is full of awards.

  Thanks to Zi Han’s unremitting efforts, day-to-day training and the accompanying education of his parents, Zi Han has become more and more optimistic, and he gets along well with teachers and classmates in special schools.

  When Zi Han was 7 years old, he transferred to Shenzhen Yuanping Special School for a more systematic study. Schools are full of special children, so school teachers will conduct separate teaching and research for these children. They will explore some children’s specialties or hobbies, and then make different teaching plans according to different children. "In the eyes of the teacher, Zi Han and another girl in their class are relatively good, so the school teacher will teach them some knowledge of cultural classes alone." Zhang Qiufeng said.

  "I like math best, and math is very interesting." Zi Han was doing his math homework when he said this. Facing the math problems in the exercise book, Zi Han thought about it and wrote the math formulas one by one to solve them. In addition, the reporter saw that Zi Han’s bookcases were full of books. Zhang Qiufeng proudly told reporters that Zi Han likes reading books, and he can finish reading a book in two hours. "The child has no other hobbies, so I want to meet his requirements as much as possible. As long as he wants to read books, I will try to buy them back." Zhang Qiufeng said.

  In addition to books, Zi Han’s various awards, "three good students" and "excellent class cadres" are the most popular at home. Every time I see them, Zhang Qiufeng feels very gratified.

  Children’s happy life is a family’s greatest wish.

  Zi Han’s mother said that in the past, the house was in disrepair because of its long history, and the daily life of the family was not very convenient. Especially in the bathroom, because of the height of the steps and the width of the doorframe, Zi Han’s wheelchair can’t get in. There is no desk in Zi Han’s room, so he can only put a board on the bed and crouch on the ground to study. Zhang Qiufeng got to know a social worker organization through the Luohu District Family Care Association for Cerebral Palsy. With the help of the social worker organization, a public welfare team contacted Zhang Qiufeng and made barrier-free renovation in seven days, creating a brand-new convenient living space for Zi Han.

  Now, on the right hand side of the house, you can see a sofa specially placed for Zi Han to assist Zi Han to go out and enter the door. Secondly, a desk bench has been installed in Zi Han’s room to facilitate Zi Han’s study. The most important thing is the bathroom, which has removed all the steps at the original entrance and installed handrails and toilets for the disabled. After the renovation, Zi Han can carry on her daily life by holding the handrail by herself, and she is also much happier.

  In Zhang Qiufeng’s view, it is the greatest wish of their family that children can live simply and happily.

   Conversation

  He is my child, so all the efforts are worth it.

  Yangcheng Evening News: Over the years, you have given up your job and paid a lot for your children. Do all these children know?

  Zhang Qiufeng: Zi Han is a sensible child very early. At the age of 4, he once said, "Mom and Dad, why don’t you abandon me? When I grow up, you will be old. Being old is like a rusty screw. It will break when you pick it. " Every time I think of this sentence, I burst into tears and feel very sad. In my opinion, it is their own parents who have not done well enough to let their children have such an idea. It is a debt to his parents that they should bear the responsibility, but let the child bear too much too early and let him lose a lot of ignorance and happiness that he should have.

  Yangcheng Evening News: After experiencing so many difficulties over the years, do you think your efforts are worth it?

  Zhang Qiufeng: He is my child, so all the efforts are worth it. Ordinary families like us have not been able to give him much better material life and spiritual life. This is our own ability. The child didn’t complain, but to be honest, he still felt very sorry for him.

  Yangcheng Evening News: What are your plans and plans for the future?

  Zhang Qiufeng: I hope Zi Han can always keep a good attitude and correct outlook on life in the future, and grow up safely. We will not force Zi Han to finish one thing. It is our family’s greatest wish that children can live simply and happily.

The freshest food in spring is more precious than big fish and meat.

Bud bud, listen

Sell cute again and I’ll eat you!

In spring, everything revives and plants sprout. In Shuo Wen Jie Zi, this "sprout" is "bud". From Saibei to Lingnan, from Shuomo to the seashore, as long as there is a spring breeze, there are traces of "buds". As the initial embryonic form of plant stems, leaves or flowers, "bud" is pregnant with life and hope, and embodies the creation and imagination of nature.

You see, the word "bud" means "grass" with the word "tooth" under it. The ancestors who created the word used the way of knowing and pictophonetic to represent the toothed larvae of vegetation germination. What an image! And spring is the child who "shoots and learns rain". Buds, like green "raindrops", "landed" on the earth before the first spring rain came. Falling on the branches, "splashing" flowers, falling into the mouth, into a series of delicious food.

Spring is really the season to eat buds!

People in China eat buds incompletely, and they are hungry for life.

Cartography/Shao Tianrui

People in China eat buds, which is the "spring limit" in home cooking.

Spring is always late in Saibei snowfield, but the new green is the first to appear on the plate. The tender thorn buds with soft burrs were blanched by hot water and turned into the "CP" of sauce dish, dumpling stuffing and scrambled eggs … Northeasters eat buds in spring, and what they want is that "thorn" shock.

Thorn bud is the bud of Acanthopanax senticosus. Also called thorn old bud, thorn dragon bud. The bark of Acanthopanax senticosus can be soaked in wine, and the seed is the well-known Schisandra chinensis. The tender thorn bud has high nutritional value and is called "the king of wild vegetables". It is sweet, refreshing and mellow, and has a unique fragrance similar to Toona sinensis bud.

The tender buds in the vegetable market: with the morning dew in spring.

Speaking of Toona sinensis bud, it is the most beautiful spring "top card" in North China and even the whole country. As the tender bud of Toona sinensis, it can be cold-mixed, fried eggs, and even chopped into noodles, so that every "snow strip" is hung with "broken gold" in spring, and its mouth is full of spring.

Toona sinensis bud is a "literary youth" in spring bud. "Zhuangzi’s Happy Travel" said: "In ancient times, there were big toons, taking 8,000 years as spring and 8,000 years as autumn." Modern congratulations to the elderly also say "Chunshou". Taking a bite of Toona sinensis is also blessed by nature with good luck. When I attended the birthday party for my elders, I once ate a "Longevity is better than Nanshan Mountain", which is a rockery made of potato chips and sprinkled with fresh Toona sinensis. The taste is fresh and unforgettable.

Cold Toona sinensis buds, the light of spring in home cooking.

There is also a "female literary youth" in the spring bud, that is, Lycium barbarum bud. When I was a child, my relatives had a Lycium barbarum tree. I used to pick fresh Lycium barbarum fruit on it. I watched A Dream of Red Mansions during the holidays, and found that there was a description of Baochai eating fried Lycium barbarum buds, and it was also pestering adults to follow suit and fry a plate. The taste was a little bitter, and it was probably elegant.

Later, when I went to college, Ningxia students also took us to bask in Lycium barbarum buds, and it was quite interesting to boil water to drink. In fact, eating Lycium barbarum buds has a long history in China. In the Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi’s "Agricultural Administration Complete Book" said that Lycium barbarum buds "go out of Ganzhou, but they will not be harvested for two years." Wang Zengqi, a writer from Jianghuai, is also in Amway in Eating in My Hometown. The medlar buds are "very fragrant" with soy sauce and vinegar, which makes the medlar buds "salty".

If Lycium barbarum buds eat elegance, then pepper buds make your tongue "win hemp". In Longnan, Gansu province, which is rich in pepper, pepper buds are the "group pets" of home-cooked dining tables and farmhouses. The bright bud tip on the plate, with a touch of pepper and sesame, makes every taste bud "stand up".

Pepper buds can be cold and stir-fried. I once ate a different way of eating: stewed fish with pepper buds, and stewed it together with pepper stalks. The pepper buds are tender and the stalks are soft, which is similar to the taste of reed stalks. If you bite the fibers of the stalks and suck the juice inside, the pepper will smell like Shan Ye. This is also the "dream linkage" of buds and stems on the tip of the tongue.

Spring is the season when catkins fly. In Shandong and Henan, there is also the habit of eating willow buds. Next to the sharp buds of willow leaves, pinch out a small handful, blanch it to remove bitterness, mix it with sesame oil, and put it in a white porcelain plate, which feels like a weak willow supporting the embankment. Pick up a pinch lightly, sip it gently with your tongue, and it will be crisp and rotten.

As a "pancake province" in Shandong, willow buds naturally spread pancakes. Beat two eggs on a pancake covered with broken willow buds, and it will become "two orioles singing green willows". When the egg liquid is evenly spread, the pancake is crisp, the yolk is fragrant, and the willow buds are tender. Under the triple blessing, it seems to swallow the spring day in one gulp. It is said that Tomb-Sweeping Day ate willow bud pancakes to commemorate Jietui. According to legend, the old willow tree that he held a tree to celebrate the festival later came back from the dead and was named "Qingming Willow" by Jin Wengong. From this point of view, there are cultural similarities between Liu Ya Pancake and Youth League in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

In Guangdong, which pays attention to health, mulberry buds must be eaten in spring. The lavender mulberry buds and lanterns-like mulberries set each other off and become interesting, and mulberry bud is as soft as mulberries, which melts in the mouth, tender and slag-free. I once ate a cold mulberry bud in a restaurant in Guangdong, surrounded by a circle of mulberries and purple fruit buds, adding softness to the softness, giving the beauty of spring an image.

Guangdong locals will also use mulberry buds to make sliced meat soup, which is also smooth, tender and fragrant. Pink pieces of meat wrapped in glutinous rice are "dead" in mulberry bud, like the cartoon "Ha ha Jing Hua Yuan" (adapted from Li Ruzhen’s novel in the late Qing Dynasty) that I watched when I was very young, and the scene of a silkworm girl lying drunk on mulberry leaves in the silk country.

The story background of "Jing Hua Yuan" took place in the Tang Dynasty. There is a "Dahuanguo" in the legendary biography of Nan Ke Taishou, which is an ant hill under a locust tree. In reality, the buds of Sophora japonica are really edible, and they are very common in Shaanxi. The buds of Sophora japonica are slightly bitter, not as sweet as Sophora japonica. They can be served cold or fried, but they are slightly toxic. You should not overeat because of your appetite.

However, the Tang Dynasty gourmets more than 1000 years ago didn’t think so much. When Li Gongzuo wrote the biography of the satrap of Nanke, he should have eaten a lot of Sophora japonica buds before he had a dream of Nanke. Otherwise, how could there be a magical imagination of "enjoying a great country in Huai"? Although Sophora bud is a "spring-limited" side dish of human beings, it is indeed a feast for small ants!

People in China eat buds in spring. Where are the most exotic food customs?

In spring, the sprouts in the home-cooked dishes are full of freshness, which also solves the trouble of "lack of appetite in spring and autumn". In some places, the buds can not only stimulate your appetite, but also refresh your spirit. It seems to remind you that spring is coming!

I have eaten mango buds in Yunnan. Just picked from the tree, sour green mango buds, simply cut a few petals and mix them with heavy spices such as Chili powder and garlic paste, which makes your taste buds bloom first. Once the acid enters the soul, it stays between the teeth, and spring can be so vigorous.

In Guizhou, which is adjacent to Yunnan, eating buds is a "knife edge licking blood". In Pu ‘an, Guizhou, there is a poisonous Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, but the tender bud is a local delicacy. For local people, eating Polygonum multiflorum buds is as common as eating Toona sinensis buds. The cold Polygonum multiflorum buds in the small restaurant are the "hard currency" on the tip of the tongue in spring.

In Guangdong and Guangxi, bud and wenwan can also be related. The sandalwood with a string of hands can also be "coiled" on the tip of the tongue. Sandalwood buds are slightly bitter, so they should not be eaten raw directly. They need to be blanched with hot water, and then added with oil and salt for cold salad or stir-frying. The buds of the sandalwood tree are tender and smooth, which seems to coat the tip of the tongue with a layer of "patina" when eating.

Sandalwood buds can be eaten, and the "neighbors" of sandalwood trees also have something to say. There is a tree in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, which appears in the Book of Songs together with the sandalwood tree: "There is a sandalwood tree, and its lower dimension is slim." This "peach" is also called "peach", and the scientific name is Broussonetia papyrifera. When the buds grow to the length of the little finger, it is the best time to enjoy the taste. As soon as the hot water is boiled, it will not lose its fragrance. When it is wrapped in flour and steamed in the pot, the children next door will cry. Broussonetia papyrifera shoots have a high appearance rate in the Book of Songs. "Yellow birds and yellow birds are not gathered in Yi", which means the "spring outing picnic" of yellow birds on Broussonetia papyrifera.

In Tongchuan, Shaanxi Province, in spring, the cypress trees all over the mountains spread branches like "Panlong", and the green "Long Lin" on it is the cypress bud called "tender and pretty bud" by the locals. This kind of magical bud, which looks like a myth from Game of Thrones, is a local specialty dish, even included in the Herbal Medicine for the Relief of Famine in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty. Longbai buds can be stewed, fried, steamed and mixed, and can be made into cans to permanently "seal" the perishable spring scenery.

In Henan province, a kind of lilac strip-shaped floret is often opened in the wild and on the roadside, and its leaves are a bit like dandelion leaves, so it is also named echinacea. Its tender buds can also be eaten, called thorn buds, and its scientific name is thistle. Fresh spiny buds can be eaten without blanching, and the cool taste is a bit special, and the taste is quite like "dark drink" black pine root beer.

In my hometown, Heilongjiang, there is a kind of Artemisia bud growing in the Daur nationality gathering area. Although it bears the word willow, it has nothing to do with willow. This kind of fresh bud can be dipped in sauce and mixed with cold dishes, while the dried Artemisia buds can stew fish. I used to be a guest at a friend’s house of Daur nationality. The secret of their delicious pot-stewed river fish is to put dried tarragon buds into the pot when using it.

Stewed spareribs with Artemisia argyrophylla with Daur characteristics are simple and bold.

The Daur language of Artemisia scoparia is called "Kumule". The Daur people also have the "Kumule Festival", which specially set up a festival for Artemisia annua, because it is said that Artemisia annua helped Daur ancestors through the famine years. As far away as the snow country in Saibei, the Artemisia selengensis bud has also had a dream linkage with the lush south of the Yangtze River. According to historians’ research, Su Dongpo’s "Artemisia selengensis" is the "Artemisia selengensis" in the puffer fish’s desire to go up, which is Artemisia selengensis bud. The ancestors of ancient Yue, Jiangsu and Zhejiang also used Artemisia selengensis bud to detoxify puffer fish. If Su Dongpo knew that Daur people thousands of miles away stewed river fish with Artemisia buds, what kind of poem would Su Dongpo write?

China people’s survival wisdom is concentrated in the dishes made by Bud Bud.

If the survival laws of nature are concentrated in buds, then the survival wisdom of China people is concentrated in the dishes made of buds. Take the most common bean sprouts as an example, there are also different "genres" such as mung bean sprouts, soybean sprouts, pea sprouts and black bean sprouts.

Bean sprouts: Give me some color and give you a delicious meal.

Black bean sprouts are "heterogeneous" in bean sprouts, and there is even a "dark dish" of "black bean sprouts and sauerkraut stewed with blood sausage" in Northeast China. I once ate it in middle school. Needless to say, the thick sauerkraut and the bloody sausage were really endowed with the finishing touch by the crisp and fresh black bean sprouts.

In Jingmai Mountain, Yunnan, one of the tea tree hometowns in China, there is a tradition of eating tea tree buds directly. On the tea mountain in the spring night, the lush tea forest is like a miniature universe, each tea tree is like a "space station" and the tea bud is like a pocket-sized "space shuttle". The locals directly fry the eggs with tea buds. When the golden eggs are spread out, it is the "space shuttle" version of tea buds "flying over the solar system".

Along the land of China, we can also eat peanut bud in Jiangxi, walnut buds in Gansu, alfalfa buds in Gansu, poplar buds in Henan, cattail buds in Shandong, magnolia buds in Beijing, buckwheat buds in Shanxi, radish buds in Anhui, Rhus chinensis buds in Guangxi, and twin buds in Yunnan …

China people eat buds, eat fresh fireworks in spring, and eat a portrait of their hometown. One bud after another makes spring returns, and one bud after another makes people full of vitality. However, the practice of budding or homely or novel also reflects the simple but vigorous creativity of China people.

Every slender bud is a beautiful stroke. People use plates as manuscript paper and "read" it in spring gourmet prose …

Emotional intelligence training class that can be attended at the age of 0: Can children become "social experts"?

  Beijing, May 18 (Yang Yuqi), the client of Zhongxin. com, knows how to look at his face and manage his emotions at home; Can be a cadre at school and have leadership; Know how to read words, think twice, and even become a "social expert" among peers … … Do you want your children to have these skills?

  Recently, many "emotional intelligence training courses" for children and adolescents have been sought after by parents, which has also attracted heated discussion among netizens. Some parents think that if you receive EQ education from childhood, you will integrate into society more quickly when you grow up. However, some netizens questioned that it is impossible to teach children’s high emotional intelligence in several classes. What’s more, let children know how to "observe words and observe colors" too early, and this precocious performance may not be conducive to growth.

  Emotional intelligence course costs tens of thousands

  Can children be taught leadership and responsibility?

  "My son is in the third grade, and he wants to be a squad leader. He may be introverted and will not make friends with teachers and classmates." In order to help her son realize his wish to be a monitor and improve his social skills, Ms. Feng came to an EQ training institution in Zhongguancun, Beijing to consult about the registration.

  Like Ms. Feng, there are dozens of parents who are preparing to sign up for summer emotional intelligence training for their children. Too introverted, naughty and disobedient, inattentive, etc., with all kinds of troubles, parents hope to find a solution here.

  Can all these seemingly unrelated growth problems be solved through emotional intelligence training? In this regard, the training institution gave a positive answer: "In fact, there are problems with the internal emotional management of children. Our emotional intelligence training is to let children know themselves and manage themselves."

  According to the teacher, the full set of EQ courses currently offered by the organization include self-confidence, emotional control, interpersonal communication, language communication, teamwork and leadership training.

  In this regard, the reporter visited a number of EQ training institutions in Beijing and found that similar teaching arrangements are similar. There are also institutions that refine and put forward "9 EQs", which means that children’s self-discipline, responsibility and frustration resistance can be shaped.

  As for the concept of "EQ", Wen Fang, director of the Beijing Psychological Counseling Center for Primary and Secondary Schools, said in an interview with Zhongxin.com that this is just some conventional concepts: "It has no specific standards and cannot be evaluated. The so-called high EQ is just that people think that he is positive in mood and attitude."

  But in the training class, it is expensive to improve EQ. According to the teacher of the training institution, it takes at least 8 months to study the whole course, and the tuition fee is nearly 30 thousand yuan.

  Can all kinds of troubles in children’s growth really be solved through "emotional intelligence" training? Mr. Ye, who once worked in children’s EQ training, said: "This is actually playing the so-called EQ edge ball, which has nothing to do with EQ. There is no harm in learning, but it will never solve all the problems of children’s growth as stated in the propaganda. "

  Play emotional intelligence "edge ball"

  You can register under one year of age, and the content of the class is questioned.

  In Mr. Ye’s words, the major EQ training courses that have sprung up recently are like the group construction that adults participate in after work: "At best, it is fun and entertaining; at worst, it is that teachers accompany them to play."

  This view has also been recognized by Lao Xu. Lao Xu, who is nearly seventy years old, has taken his grandson, who is almost three years old, to an EQ training institution near Dongdaqiao in Chaoyang District every week for the last six months. He told reporters that the child is introverted, but in order to integrate his grandson into the kindergarten he is about to enter, his parents signed up for the EQ training class.

  But Lao Xu can’t figure out what a child less than 3 years old can learn.

  Sometimes, Lao Xu will observe through the glass what this self-confidence training course, which costs nearly 10,000 yuan for half a year, has taught. "The six children in the class either stand up and tell stories or play roles." Lao Xu even thinks that he can learn these contents by taking his grandson to the park.

  Ms. Fu, who is also waiting for her children to finish class, clearly told reporters: "After the children finish the emotional management class, they will not bring their children again."

  It turned out that Ms. Fu used to quarrel with her 6-year-old daughter. In order to let her children learn to control their emotions, Ms. Fu tried the EQ management class. But what happened later shocked Ms. Fu — —

  "Once I scolded her, she didn’t talk back. She went back to her room and began to draw me, and then she scribbled on my face. I asked her why she did this, and she said it was taught by the teacher. "

  Ms. Fu once questioned the training teacher, but the teacher only explained: "What we can teach our children is to find other ways to vent." However, in Ms. Fu’s view, she would rather let her daughter argue with herself than let her resolve her emotions in this way: "This wrong repression may be more unfavorable to her growth."

  In this regard, Mr. Ye explained that the rise of EQ training is not long. At present, there is no reference standard for how to teach and what to teach. Everyone feels the stones and crosses the river.

  Now, both Ms. Fu and Lao Xu are rethinking whether sending children who are too young to the EQ class is to encourage them. In this regard, the reporter also learned from many institutions that there is no threshold for signing up for EQ training. Before signing up, children only need to conduct a psychological assessment, and the teacher provides suggestions for class registration according to the assessment scores.

  In addition, various training institutions have different requirements for the age of registration. Even the EQ training courses launched by some institutions cover the infancy of children, and different EQ training courses are set up for infants of different months.

  A trainer explained to reporters: "EQ education for young children is to teach babies to correctly express their needs and let them know their own and others’ emotions."

  EQ classes "bloom everywhere"

  Various forms, different abilities of practitioners.

  The reporter visited and found that in the EQ training market, in addition to the above-mentioned professional training courses, there are various forms of EQ study camps and EQ summer camps.

  In an Internet creative park in Beijing, an organization that mainly manages summer camps for students launched the "EQ Summer Camp" project two years ago. According to teacher Chen of the project, the summer camp will start in July, with a total of six sessions, and now there are not many places left.

  Compared with the traditional EQ training class, Mr. Chen suggested that the summer camp only needs 6 days and 5 nights, and it is held in a camp away from parents, and food, clothing, housing and transportation are also with other children, which can effectively improve the level of children’s interpersonal communication.

  Short time-consuming and quick results are the "signs" of EQ summer camp. However, in terms of curriculum and goal setting, the reporter found that it is no different from the traditional EQ training class: building self-confidence, learning to take care of yourself, teamwork, etc., which are also the main contents of its launch.

  And this 6-day and 5-night emotional intelligence summer camp costs more than 4,000 yuan.

  In addition, as for the standards of teachers engaged in EQ training, the reporter learned as a franchisee of training institutions that in selecting training teachers, most of them require teachers’ qualification certificates and psychological counseling certificates. But when asked about the professional training of EQ, the other party told the reporter: "There is unified training at the headquarters, and it will take about a week to get on the job."

  As for the training results, the person in charge told the reporter: "The effect can’t be considered. It’s not that the Chinese math exam can reflect the score. If the effect is not good, it is also that parents have not cooperated well. "

  Expert: Training class learning is like "performance", mostly for advertising effect.

  Can attending the EQ training class really improve children’s EQ as parents wish?

  Wen Fang, director of the above-mentioned psychological counseling center for primary and secondary schools in Beijing, pointed out that similar training courses focus on creating a positive atmosphere in which children will show positive emotions. But out of the training class, he is likely to return to his original appearance.

  "The teacher encourages every child to raise their hands to speak, and other children also actively raise their hands. In such an environment, even introverted children will raise their hands to speak." For such a phenomenon, Wen Fang thinks it is a kind of "performance behavior". He explained that once the child returns to his daily life and leaves this specific scene, his introverted personality will still be displayed.

  Therefore, Wen Fang believes that emotional intelligence training classes will not play a decisive role in the development of children’s behavior, and want to fundamentally improve the so-called "emotional intelligence". Wen Fang said that parents’ behavior is the key.

  "Children learn how to behave themselves from their parents." Wen Fang pointed out that the self-awareness of children under the age of 10 has not yet awakened, and most of them are imitations. If parents can set an example and show a positive attitude towards life, their children’s behavior will not be too bad.

  As for the infant training launched by many EQ training classes, in Wen Fang’s view, the advertising effect is far greater than the actual significance. (End)

[Network China Festival Lantern Festival] Reading the customs of Lantern Festival in ancient and modern masterpieces

  Today is the fifteenth day of the first month of the year of Jihai, which coincides with the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival. The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar. The ancients called "night" "night", so the fifteenth day of the first full moon in a year is called the Lantern Festival. Since ancient times, the Lantern Festival has become a favorite theme of literati because of its important cultural connotation, and the folk culture about the festival can also be seen in various excellent works.

  Watching the moon and lanterns

  Cui Ye, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said in a poem: "Who can sit around when he sees the moon, but he can’t smell the lights." Tang Bohu, a gifted scholar in the Ming Dynasty, once said: "A moon without lights is not entertaining, and a moon without lights is not spring." It can be seen that watching the moon and lanterns is an important custom of the Lantern Festival, so the Lantern Festival is also called the Lantern Festival.

[Network China Festival Lantern Festival] Reading the customs of Lantern Festival in ancient and modern masterpieces

  The writer Shen Congwen once explained the history of watching lanterns during the Lantern Festival in the article "Lights of the Lantern Festival": "Lantern Festival is mainly about watching lanterns. Watching lanterns has become a system, which seems to have been mentioned in "Jing Chu Sui Ji". The more specific records actually began in the early Tang Dynasty and developed in the Song Dynasty, and the source came from the Han Dynasty. " The custom of "hanging lanterns" on the Lantern Festival has been passed down to this day.

  "wahoo silver flowers, star bridge iron lock open. Dark dust goes with the horse, and the bright moon comes one by one. " Su Weidao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the widely circulated fifteenth night of the first month, which vividly depicts the charming picture of the bright lights of midnight snack and people enjoying the moon and traveling happily. "Jin Li Fang Yan, Lan Hongyan in his early years. The color is far away, and the light is far away. After the Chinese suspect that the stars are falling, the building is like a moon hanging. Don’t have a thousand golden smiles, to reflect the nine branches. "Lu Zhaolin, one of the four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem" Watching Lights at Fifteen Nights ",which made the colorful Lantern Festival lights unique and brought people into an intoxicated fairyland.

  "Lantern Festival is decorated with lanterns everywhere, and the whole street is like a wedding, blazing and beautiful. Hundreds of lamps are hung in famous old shops, some of which are all glass, some are all horns, and some are gauze lamps. Some are of various colors, and some are all painted with all the stories of A Dream of Red Mansions or Water Margin. Put up sky lanterns in the park and fly to the sky like a superstar. Men and women come out to step on the moon, watch lights and watch fireworks. " Writer Lao She described the jubilant scene of the Beijing Lantern Festival after the founding of New China in the article Spring Festival in Beijing.

  The lantern is just a kind of lantern. The appearance is mostly palace lantern-shaped, because many pictures of ancient military commanders riding horses are drawn on all sides of the lamp, and when the lamp rotates, it looks like several people are chasing each other, so it is named the lantern. The merry-go-round is especially popular with the people. In the chapter "The Problem between Father and Son" in My Autobiography of Mind, the writer Zhou Guoping once said: "When I was in primary school, my father was only in his thirties, and he still had a lot of fun in life. Every year on the Lantern Festival, he will personally make an exquisite lantern, draw different watercolors on all sides of the paper screen and hang them in the house. As soon as the electric light is on, the paper screen rotates, which surprises me. "

  Dance dragon lantern

[Network China Festival Lantern Festival] Reading the customs of Lantern Festival in ancient and modern masterpieces

  Dragon lantern dance is also one of the important folk customs of the Lantern Festival celebration. The earliest recorded dragon dance was Zhang Heng’s "Xijing Fu" in the Han Dynasty. The author vividly described the dragon dance in the description of hundreds of plays. According to the Records of Music in Sui Shu, Huanglongbian, which was similar to the dragon dance performance in hundreds of plays during Emperor Yangdi’s reign, was also very wonderful, and the dragon dance was popular in many places in China. The Chinese nation advocates dragons and regards them as auspicious symbols.

  "My hometown is a small county town with less than 10,000 residents on the edge of Xiangxi, but the lion dragon lantern fireworks were very famous in various counties in Xiangxi half a century ago." Shen Congwen wrote in Shen Congwen’s Collected Works that "the first day to the twelfth day is called" sending lights ",but the whole city is playing with gongs and drums everywhere. During the day, there are many gongs and drums to perform water games on the bridge head, or to hover up and down on eight or nine square tables; In the evening, I play clam shell essence under the lights and accompany it with fine music. Thirteen to fifteen are called "burning lanterns", and the main competition turns to the other hand to see who has outstanding fireworks. "

  "Burning dragons with steel" is a large-scale folk activity of Lantern Festival in western Hunan, and it is an important ritual and celebration to pray for good weather and good harvests. The so-called "steel fire dragon", that is, the steel fireman lit the steel flower, raised the long bamboo clip over his head and violently sprayed it at the dragon body. In the night sky, the orange-red steel flowers rush out, and the stronger the sparks, the happier the dragon dancers are.

  Ba Jin also described in his work Home that the hero mentioned "burning dragon lanterns" during the Lantern Festival: "On the night of the Lantern Festival, the weather is very good. There are several shining stars and a few white clouds in the sky, and a full moon is embedded in the blue sky like a jade plate. That night, as usual, everyone worshipped God and finished the ceremony quickly. Chueh-ying took Chueh-qun to the street to watch people burn dragon lanterns. "

  solve lantern riddles; guess riddles on hanging lanterns

  Solve riddles on the lanterns, also known as playing riddles, is a traditional activity of the Lantern Festival. Lantern riddles originated from riddles in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The riddle hung on the lamp for people to guess and shoot, which began in the Southern Song Dynasty.

  In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhou Mi’s "Old Wulin Lamps" recorded: "When writing poems with silk lanterns, it contains ridicule, painting characters, hiding argot and old Beijing slang, teasing pedestrians." On the Lantern Festival, the emperor city stays up all night, and the people enjoy the lantern festival in spring night. Poems and riddles are written on lanterns, reflected in candles, and listed in the thoroughfare, which is called "lantern riddle".

[Network China Festival Lantern Festival] Reading the customs of Lantern Festival in ancient and modern masterpieces

  Nowadays, because the production of lanterns is time-consuming and laborious, riddles are mostly written on hanging notes. Every Lantern Festival, riddles are played everywhere, hoping to be happy and safe.

  "solve riddles on the lanterns is quite painstaking and interesting." Liang Yusheng, a writer, once wrote in his anthology that he especially talked about two riddles: one was "Japanese surrender" in the early days of the liberation of the mainland, and guessing ancient celebrities, the answer was originally "Su Wu", but many people guessed "Qu Yuan". The "original" is also the atomic bomb. Some people guess "Li Shimin" with a hat box, which means that Japanese surrender is the strength of the people of the world. This is an "old joke". The other is a lantern riddle during the Cultural Revolution. The riddle is "It’s impossible to steal when you hear the first step", and Zhuge Liang used the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to discourage Zhou Yu from taking the story of giving up to Mao Zedong’s poems, marking "bending over the waist". The answer is "Ask WU GANG what he owns", and the word "Gang" is changed to "Ask Wu what he owns", which means asking Wu how he has the power to go in and take Xichuan. This riddle was originally well done, but at that time it was criticized for committing the crime of "irreverence" on the grounds that how could Chairman Mao "bend his back"? It’s ridiculous.

  Send a child lamp

  Sending children’s lanterns, also known as sending lanterns for short, means that before the Lantern Festival, the bride’s family sends lanterns to her newly married daughter’s home, or ordinary relatives and friends give them to the newly married infertile home, in order to add good luck, because "lamp" is homophonic with "Ding".

  "Our hometown is in Nanhou Street, Fuzhou. The customs of Fuzhou and the lanterns played by children during the Lantern Festival are all given by my grandmother. " Bing Xin, a writer, mentioned this custom in his article "Talking about the New Year". Bing Xin also expressed her pride in owning Three Lamps District in the article: "My grandmother gave us four brothers and sisters five lamps! My younger brothers are much younger than me, and they are not good at playing, so I took advantage of them at this moment. The one hanging on my wall is ‘ Three British wars Lu Bu ’ My lantern, with a goldfish lamp with moving eyes in one hand and a rabbit lamp that can walk on the ground in the other, feels very proud. "

  Men and women are engaged

  "Find him thousands of baidu in the crowd. Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dim. " Xin Qiji, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, is well-known for his "Jade Case Yuan Xi". At midnight snack, among the lights, young men and women meet by surprise after hard pursuit. In ancient times, Lantern Festival provided an opportunity for unmarried men and women to get to know each other, and it was also a good opportunity for young men and women to meet their lovers. It can be seen that the Lantern Festival is a festival full of romance.

  Ouyang Xiu, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, vividly described the beautiful meeting of couples at midnight snack: "At last year’s Lantern Festival, the flower market was lit like a day. When the moon arrives at the end of the willow tree, people will be around dusk. "

  For this reason, in the contemporary era, many scholars also call the Lantern Festival "Valentine’s Day". Yu Guangzhong, a famous poet, said at the Lantern Festival in 2005: "In the West, Valentine’s Day is February 14th, and our Valentine’s Day is today." When the writer Yu Qiuyu talked about the Lantern Festival, he also wrote: "I always thought it was just the end of the year, but I didn’t know there were so many meanings. This is a carnival festival, a release festival, and also a ‘ Valentine’s Day ’ 。”

  Eat Yuanxiao (sweet dumplings)

  On the Lantern Festival, eating Yuanxiao is definitely an important custom. Eating Yuanxiao on the Lantern Festival was quite popular in the Song Dynasty. The earliest Yuanxiao was called "Floating Yuanzi", and later it was called "Yuanxiao". Businessmen also called it "Yuanbao".

[Network China Festival Lantern Festival] Reading the customs of Lantern Festival in ancient and modern masterpieces

  "Most provinces in China eat Yuanxiao, but the names and practices are different from each other. It is called Yuanxiao in the north, Tangyuan in some places in the south, and Tangtuan and Yuanzi. The names of the north and south are different, and the methods are different. " Mr. Tang Lusun, a self-styled "greedy person", introduced the differences in the production and sale of Yuanxiao in the north and Tangyuan in the south in his essay collection "Sweet, Bitter, Spicy and Salty": "Unlike Shanghai, Nanjing and Hankou, there are shops specializing in Yuanxiao in Beiping, and night snack snacks are attached. Beiping Yuanxiao is a cake shop and a tea soup shop, which are temporarily set up in front of the shops and are now sold. There are several kinds of stuffing, such as hawthorn, jujube paste, red bean paste and black-and-white sesame. First, freeze the stuffing, cut it into big dice pieces, dip it in the water with a big strainer, shake it in a big sieve filled with glutinous rice flour, and then pour it into the strainer and shake it three or two times. Different dumplings are marked with red dots, plum blossoms, and just words, and you’re done. The advantage of this kind of Yuanxiao is that it doesn’t crack when eaten in the mouth, but the disadvantage is that the stuffing is coarse and rough, because it is dry powder, and it is still a little sticky when cooked. The southern Lantern Festival is made by rolling the skin first, filling it with stuffing and then wrapping it up to make it round, so it is called Yaoyuanxiao in the north and Baoyuanxiao in the south. This is the reason. In the south, not only the stuffing is exquisite and smooth, but also the glutinous rice flour is smooth and moist. In addition, there is only one kind of sweet in the north, while in the south, it is sweet and salty, with complete dishes and meat. During the Anti-Japanese War, everyone who had been to the rear area probably ate Lai Tangyuan.It is much better than the hand-cranked Lantern Festival in Lanyingzhai and Minmeizhai in Beiping. "

  Whether it is Yuanxiao or Tangyuan, people are pinning their good expectations for the country, people’s safety and family reunion.

Jiang Wen: After 70, the audience couldn’t understand "The Sun" and were happy to try the New Year film.



  BEIJING, Sept. 29 (Xinhua)-After the carpet publicity of the new film The Sun Also Rises, at the end of September, the director Jiang Wen, who returned from Hong Kong, finally recovered from the uproar. In his "Joy" studio at the east gate of the Forbidden City, Jiang Wen accepted an in-depth interview with the program Phoenix Extraordinary Road, a new phoenix media.


  The box office was not high, and the audience shouted and couldn’t understand it. Obviously, this reality didn’t stimulate Jiang Wen. Sitting in his most familiar studio, he still blinked symbolically, and he was still the radiant Jiang Wen. In fact, he doesn’t think that this "flirting" with the audience has failed. On the contrary, many viewers are "intoxicated" and can’t forget it if they want to. He jokingly said that the current situation is exactly what he wants to see. "The Sun is a fire reconnaissance, which shows me the mentality of the current social crowd."


  Jiang Wen said that he actually loves life, eats well and sleeps well, and is not as tough as everyone thinks. "I can’t be anxious. Being anxious is not a good attitude. When I was young, I was always anxious with others." He even bluntly admired Chris Lee, calling her the Li Tiemei of the new era, and "Fast Man" is a good thing, because "even nannies love to watch it".


  This is a Jiang Wen who is still "energetic". He believes that "strong imagination creates reality" and thinks that director China should abandon the route of blockbusters and stubbornly pursue his own accent. This is a changing Jiang Wen. He has become high-profile, open and secular, and doesn’t mind playing the role of "fashion man" in various magazines to boost the box office.


  The director who only directed three films, but created a strong "personal accent", intervened in the secular world and made peace with it in a softer and more reasonable way when middle age came, in order to fly higher and higher in imagination. He has more possibilities.


  Responding to "I don’t understand": "The Sun" is intoxicating. After 70, people really have obstacles in watching movies.


  The "atypical" success of Sunny Days and The Devil Comes has made people realize that Jiang Wen’s imagination and narrative style are different from those of any director, and gained great reputation. The new film "The Sun Also Rises", a personal dream work, made the audience shout "I don’t understand". Jiang Wen responded by saying that according to his own observation, "infatuation" is the main reaction of the audience. "In my view of film, I forget it halfway through it. I don’t think it can be called a good movie. No one who has watched The Sun at present can forget it. "


  Is there a misjudgment of the taste of the current mainland audience? Jiang Wen denied it. He said that the audience was really crouching tiger, hidden dragon. At present, the audience’s various statements made him very happy. "This is called controversy. Controversy shows that everyone is involved." He even joked that "The Sun" was his own fire reconnaissance. "Through this fire reconnaissance, I probably know what the audience is like now. It is richer than I expected, very high, naive and very naive, and those who twist the bar are very extreme and wide-ranging."


  The only thing that Jiang Wen can’t understand is that it is almost impossible for the post-80s, post-90s and even post-60s people to accept The Sun, but the post-70s people "can’t understand it". He guessed that this generation has neither the purity of the post-generation nor the reserve of the previous generation, and it is this "embarrassment" that caused the obstacles to watching movies. However, he doesn’t mind, "take a train and a car, ride a bike, whatever. You don’t have to fly. A movie will definitely not be caught in the net."


  "The Sun" didn’t win the prize. Jiang Wen: "A film that doesn’t hurt people’s self-esteem is easy to win the prize."


  "The Sun" entered Venice with a high profile, but returned empty-handed. Many people speculated that Jiang Wen would be depressed. Jiang Wen laughed at this. "Just like going to war with you, how can you not die?" Film Festival? I think it is a fair, which can make things more lively. At that time, they asked me, and he said, what if you don’t get one? I said it was more lively, so why not? We can talk about this, it doesn’t matter. So now I think the situation is the best. You don’t have to make a mess, just shave your head, and it’s very cool to shave with one knife. I think this situation is also quite good. "


  Jiang Wen, a former judge of Cannes Film Festival, also revealed his experience. He said that the Cannes Film Festival stipulated that the best film and the best director could not win prizes at the same time, but he and the judges just broke this "heaven rule". Speaking of what kind of films are easy to win prizes, he said meaningfully, "Anyway, films that don’t hurt people’s self-esteem are easy to win prizes."


  Comment on China blockbusters: No blockbusters in China are American patents.


  Jiang Wen uses "accent" to define the existence value of a director. As a director with a strong accent, he appreciates directors Stephen Chow and Wong Kar-wai who have unique accents. He said that China’s film industry is now in the stage of rural urbanization. "I think it is precisely the time when we have the opportunity to speak with different accents and let everyone watch it fully.".


  Speaking of the wave of "blockbusters" in China in recent years, Jiang Wen thinks that there are no blockbusters in China. "If you don’t have a film machine and a film industry, how can there be blockbusters?" Let Americans shoot blockbusters and commercial films. "What do you call Transformers? Don’t say that China people can’t shoot it, and it can’t be filmed anywhere except the United States. There’s no need to feel inferior. Can I shoot in Japan? Can the whole EC shoot? Africa, Oceania, can’t shoot, just this place in the United States. It has more than 100 years of film accumulation, where filmmakers all over the world have accumulated. I am also very willing to succeed in China. Dreams are ok, but they don’t shine into reality! "


  "Change" Jiang Wen: "I have been making up lessons for seven years and I am desperately mature."


  Some media said that before The Sun, Jiang Wen gave people the impression that he was domineering, lofty and difficult to cooperate. When The Sun came out, Jiang Wen seemed to suddenly become amiable. He played a "fashionable man" in various magazines with unusual high profile, and even showed his love and affection with his wife Zhou Yun on various occasions. After the media’s "indiscriminate bombing", Jiang Wen said that the bombing was not enough. "We lack air support, and now we are basically infantry. Air support is to turn the whole street and TV into advertising signboards or something. I think that’s right. " No wonder he envied Zhang Yimou for having Zhang Weiping as a good "propagandist".


  Nowadays, Jiang Wen has to directly face many specific affairs other than movies, and even be responsible for the box office of his own movies, so he said, "I can’t be anxious. Being anxious is not a good attitude. When I was young, I was always anxious with others." He said, "when you go to the United States, you see many people are older children, and his society allows him to do so." When you are 40 or 50 years old, you are out here, and I almost got out several times, just because I matured late. Therefore, I have to make up lessons in these seven years and try my best to mature. "


  "Open" Jiang Wen: Appreciating Chris Lee and "Fast Man" are willing to try New Year movies.


  Jiang Wen is by no means so inaccessible or "awkward" as the outside world imagined. In fact, his attitude towards new things is quite open. He has a special affection for the post-80s young people. In the conversation with the staff after the interview, he modestly exchanged his views on "The Sun" and specially left an email address for everyone to recommend good movie ideas and literary works to him.


  What is even more surprising is that he even revealed in the program that he likes Chris Lee. "Li Tiemei was Chris Lee at that time!" As for the "fast man" who represents pop culture, Jiang Wen also feels good, because the nanny at home likes to watch it. "Our aunt wants to see it, and she doesn’t cook. She said she wants to watch the fast men’s final. I said, I cook and I wash the dishes. I think they are so happy. They are so happy! This is good. People are very involved, very active and very independent in intervening in people they want or like. This is good. "


  He Dong, the host of "Extraordinary Way", asked in the program, is there any problem with making a New Year film with the second part of "The Sun" which is super hilarious? I didn’t expect Jiang Wenlian to say "yes" and "how nice". "I’m actually very good at making movies that make everyone happy from beginning to end. In fact, the devil has been having fun." It seems that director Xiaogang Feng will have an opponent in the future.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 15th

Some opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on promoting the reform of price mechanism

(12 October 2015)

The price mechanism is the core of the market mechanism, and the market determines the price, which is the key for the market to play a decisive role in resource allocation. Since the reform and opening up, as an important part of the economic system reform, the price reform has been continuously promoted and deepened, and the prices of most competitive commodities have been liberalized, which has played an important role in establishing and improving the socialist market economic system and promoting sustained and healthy economic and social development. Especially in recent years, the pace of price reform has been greatly accelerated, the prices of a large number of goods and services have been liberalized one after another, and the marketization of prices in refined oil, natural gas, railway transportation and other fields has been significantly improved. At the same time, we should also see that the price reform in some key areas and key links needs to be deepened, the government pricing system needs to be further improved, and the market price behavior needs to be further standardized. In order to promote the price reform to develop in depth and speed up the improvement of the price mechanism mainly determined by the market, we hereby put forward the following opinions.

I. General requirements

-Persist in reform and innovation. Explore and innovate in price formation mechanism, regulation system and supervision mode, respect the initiative of grassroots and the masses, and promote the transformation of price management from direct pricing to standardizing price behavior, creating a good price environment and serving macro-control. Give full play to price leverage to promote economic transformation and upgrading and improve quality and efficiency.

-Adhere to steady and prudent progress. Price reform should be coordinated with the reform of fiscal revenue, income distribution, industry management system, etc., reasonably distinguish between basic and non-basic needs, take into account the relationship between upstream and downstream of the industry, enterprise development and people’s livelihood security, economic efficiency and social equity, economic development and environmental protection, grasp the opportunity, rhythm and intensity, effectively prevent all kinds of risks and ensure stability and order.

(3) Main objectives. By 2017, the prices of competitive fields and links will be basically liberalized, and the scope of government pricing will be mainly limited to important public utilities, public welfare services and network-based natural monopoly links. By 2020, the market-determined price mechanism will be basically perfect, a scientific, standardized and transparent price supervision system and anti-monopoly law enforcement system will be basically established, and the price control mechanism will be basically sound.

Second, deepen price reform in key areas and give full play to the role of the market in determining prices.

Focusing on making the market play a decisive role in resource allocation, we will accelerate the pace of price reform, further promote decentralization, combination of liberalization and management, optimize services, respect enterprises’ independent pricing rights and consumers’ free choice, and promote the free flow and fair trade of goods and factors.

(4) Improve the price formation mechanism of agricultural products. Make overall use of the international and domestic markets, pay attention to the role of the market in forming prices, and the prices of agricultural products are mainly determined by the market. In accordance with the principle of "emphasizing key points, keeping and releasing", based on China’s national conditions, we will implement differentiated support policies for different varieties, adjust and improve the "yellow box" support policies, gradually expand the scale and scope of the "green box" support policies, protect farmers’ enthusiasm for production, promote the sustainable development of agricultural production, and ensure the basic self-sufficiency of grains and the absolute safety of rations.

Strengthen the cost investigation and price monitoring of agricultural products, accelerate the establishment of a global agricultural data investigation and analysis system, and provide important support for the government to formulate policies such as agricultural product prices and agricultural subsidies.

(5) Accelerate the marketization of energy prices. In accordance with the general idea of "managing the middle and letting go of both ends", we will promote the reform of energy prices such as electricity and natural gas, promote diversified competition among market players, handle and gradually reduce cross-subsidies, and restore the attributes of energy commodities. Opportunity to liberalize the price of refined oil, comprehensively rationalize the price of natural gas as soon as possible, speed up the liberalization of natural gas sources and sales prices, orderly liberalize the on-grid electricity price and sales electricity price other than public welfare, and establish a mechanism in which energy prices are mainly determined by the market. Separate the transmission and distribution price from the selling price in the formation mechanism, independently verify the transmission and distribution price, and gradually realize that the selling price other than public welfare is formed by the market. According to the principle of "allowable cost plus reasonable income", the transmission and distribution prices of power grid and natural gas pipeline network are reasonably formulated. Expand the pilot scope of transmission and distribution price reform, gradually cover all provincial power grids, scientifically verify the permitted income and distribution price of power grid enterprises, change the supervision mode of power grid enterprises, and gradually form an independent transmission and distribution price system with clear rules, reasonable level, strong supervision and scientific transparency. Before liberalizing the competitive link electricity price, we should improve the linkage mechanism of coal-electricity price and the benchmark electricity price system, so that the electricity price can better reflect the market demand and cost changes.

(six) improve the environmental service price policy. Coordinate the use of environmental taxes, fees and related service price policies, increase the adjustment of economic leverage, gradually make the expenses borne by enterprises to discharge various pollutants higher than the cost of active treatment, and improve the enthusiasm of enterprises to actively control pollution and reduce emissions. According to the principle of "pollution pays, fair burden, compensation cost and reasonable profit", the charging standard of sewage treatment should be raised reasonably, and the charging standard of urban sewage treatment should not be lower than the cost of sewage treatment and sludge disposal. We should explore the establishment of an adjustment mechanism linking the treatment service fee allocated by the government to sewage treatment enterprises with the sewage treatment effect, and implement an encouraging price policy for the resource utilization of sewage treatment. Actively promote the pilot work of paid use and trading of emission rights, improve the trading price system of emission rights, and use market means to guide enterprises to take the initiative to control pollution and reduce emissions.

Focusing on the goal of deepening the reform of the medical and health system, in accordance with the principle of "total control, structural adjustment, rising and falling, and gradual arrival", we will actively and steadily promote the reform of medical service prices, rationally adjust the price of medical services, and simultaneously strengthen the convergence of relevant policies such as prices and medical insurance to ensure the sustainable development of medical institutions, affordable medical insurance funds, and no increase in the burden on the masses. Establish a dynamic price adjustment mechanism based on changes in cost and income structure, and basically straighten out the price comparison relationship of medical services by 2020. Implement the policy of adjusting the price of medical services in non-public medical institutions. The price of medical service items in public medical institutions shall be managed by classification, and the price of medical service items with sufficient market competition and strong individualized demand shall be regulated by the market. The service items paid by the medical insurance fund shall be negotiated and reasonably determined by the medical insurance agency and the medical institution. Further improve the drug procurement mechanism and give play to the role of medical insurance in controlling fees. The actual transaction price of drugs is mainly formed by market competition.

We will fully implement the ladder price system for residents’ water, electricity and gas consumption, and implement the charging system for heating according to the heat consumption, and further improve it according to the actual situation. Education, culture, pension, funeral and other public welfare services should be combined with the reform process of government procurement services, and classified management should be implemented. Students in public schools are exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees in the compulsory education stage, and tuition fees in public kindergartens, high schools (including secondary vocational schools) and colleges and universities are managed as administrative fees; For-profit private schools charge their own fees, and the charging policy for non-profit private schools is determined by the provincial government according to the local actual situation in the direction of marketization. The old-age service institutions invested by the government are free of charge for the "three noes" elderly according to law; For other elderly people with special difficulties to provide old-age services, the bed fee and nursing fee are subject to government pricing management, and the prices of other old-age services are independently priced by operators. Promote the price reform of tickets and related services in tourist attractions by classification. Promote public utilities and public service operators to increase information disclosure, accept social supervision, and protect the public’s right to know and supervise.

Third, establish and improve the government pricing system, so that power can operate in the sun.

For a few reserved government pricing projects, it is necessary to promote the listing of pricing projects, standardize pricing procedures, strengthen cost supervision and examination, promote cost disclosure, resolutely manage the thin tube and manage it in place, minimize discretion, and promote the openness and transparency of government pricing.

(ten) to promote the listing of government pricing projects. On the basis of accelerating price reform, the central and local governments should formulate and publish a new government pricing catalogue before 2016, and limit the scope of government pricing mainly to important public utilities, public welfare services and network-based natural monopoly links. All government pricing projects will be included in the government pricing catalogue management. The pricing items in the catalogue should be clearly defined item by item, so as to ensure that there is no pricing right outside the catalogue, and government pricing should be included in the list of rights and responsibilities. Regularly evaluate the effectiveness of price reform and the degree of market competition, and timely adjust specific pricing items.

(eleven) standardize the government pricing procedures. For projects included in the government pricing catalogue, it is necessary to formulate specific management measures, pricing mechanisms, cost supervision and examination rules, and further standardize pricing procedures. Encourage and support third parties to put forward suggestions on price adjustment schemes and participate in price hearings. Improve the system of public participation, legality review and expert argumentation in the process of government pricing, ensure that the working procedures are clear, standardized, open and transparent, actively accept social supervision, and effectively restrain government pricing behavior.

(twelve) to strengthen the cost supervision and examination and cost information disclosure. Adhere to the principle of cost supervision and examination, take cost supervision and examination as an important procedure for the government to formulate and adjust prices, and constantly improve the cost supervision and examination mechanism. In accordance with the provisions of the implementation of cost supervision and examination, to gradually establish and improve the cost disclosure system. Operators of public utilities and public welfare services shall disclose their costs in accordance with the provisions of government pricing agencies, which shall disclose the conclusions of cost supervision and examination before setting and adjusting prices.

Four, strengthen market price supervision and anti-monopoly law enforcement, and gradually establish the basic position of competition policy.

Clean up and abolish all kinds of regulations and practices that hinder the national unified market and fair competition, prohibit and punish all kinds of illegal preferential policies, establish fair, open and transparent market price supervision rules, vigorously promote market price supervision and anti-monopoly law enforcement, and oppose monopoly and unfair competition. Accelerate the establishment of a coordination mechanism between competition policy and industrial and investment policies, implement a fair competition review system, and promote the construction of a unified, open and competitive market system.

(thirteen) improve the rules of market price behavior. In the field of operators’ independent pricing, it is necessary to formulate price behavior rules and supervision measures according to law for goods and services that have a great impact on the economy and society, especially those closely related to people’s livelihood; In areas where there are insufficient market competition, unequal status of both parties to the transaction, asymmetric market information, etc., it is necessary to study and formulate corresponding bargaining rules, price behavior norms and guidelines, improve the system provisions such as clearly marked prices and publicity of fees, and reasonably guide operators’ price behavior.

(fourteen) to promote broadband network speed and fee reduction. Standardize telecom tariff behavior, promote broadband network speed-up and fee reduction, and provide strong support for the development of "internet plus". Guide and promote telecom enterprises to simplify the tariff structure, effectively improve the cost performance of broadband internet access and other services, and provide more favorable tariff schemes for urban and rural low-income groups. Supervise and urge telecommunications enterprises to formulate reasonable tariff standards and charging methods for Internet access services, and promote interconnection between telecommunications networks. It is strictly forbidden to use unfair pricing behavior to hinder the competition of telecommunications services and disrupt the market order. Strengthen the supervision of tariff behavior, clean up unreasonable fees such as entrance fees, coordination fees and sharing fees in the construction of broadband networks, and severely crack down on price violations.

(fifteen) to strengthen market price supervision. Establish and improve a market price supervision system with institutional authority, complete laws, perfect mechanisms and strong implementation, effectively prevent, timely stop and investigate all kinds of price violations according to law. Adhere to the combination of daily supervision and special inspection, strengthen price supervision in the field of people’s livelihood, focus on solving outstanding problems reflected by the masses, and protect consumer rights and interests. Strengthen supervision and inspection, and ensure that operators enjoy independent pricing power according to law for the prices of goods and services that have been liberalized by the government.

(sixteen) to strengthen anti-monopoly law enforcement. Pay close attention to competition dynamics, start anti-monopoly investigation on suspected monopolistic behaviors in time, make efforts to investigate and deal with monopolistic behaviors such as reaching a monopoly agreement, abusing market dominance and abusing administrative power to eliminate competition restrictions, and announce the handling decisions according to law to maintain a fair competition market environment. Establish and improve the clue collection mechanism of monopoly cases and broaden the sources of cases. Study and formulate relevant anti-monopoly guidelines and improve market competition rules. Promote operators to strengthen anti-monopoly compliance construction.

(seventeen) improve the price social supervision system. Give full play to the role of the 12358 price reporting management information system of the national four-level network, and encourage consumers and operators to participate in price supervision together. Strengthen the analysis of report data, regularly publish analysis reports to warn operators and remind consumers. Establish and improve the team of price supervisors of residents in streets, communities, towns and villages, and improve the price social supervision network. Relying on the social credit system, we will accelerate the construction of price integrity, build the price credit files of operators, carry out the activities of establishing price integrity units, set up a "blacklist" of price untrustworthy people, and jointly punish the untrustworthy behaviors that constitute price violations. Encourage and support the news media to actively participate in price social supervision, and improve the supervision and guidance mechanism of public opinion.

Five, give full play to the role of price leverage, better serve macro-control.

While comprehensively deepening reform and strengthening price supervision, strengthen and improve macro-control and keep the overall price level basically stable; Give full play to price leverage, promote energy conservation, environmental protection and structural adjustment, and promote economic transformation and upgrading.

(eighteen) to strengthen the overall price level control. Strengthen the coordination of prices with financial, monetary, investment, industrial, import and export, material reserve and other policy means, rationally use legal means, economic means and necessary administrative means to form a joint force of policies, and strive to keep the overall price level within a reasonable range. Strengthen the early warning of deflation and inflation, and formulate and improve corresponding prevention and control plans. Improve the price monitoring and early warning mechanism and emergency response system, build a commodity price index system, improve the important commodity reserve system, and enhance the overall price level control ability.

(nineteen) improve the price policy of energy conservation and environmental protection in the production field. Establish a price system conducive to energy conservation and emission reduction, and gradually make energy prices fully reflect the cost of environmental governance. Continue to implement and adjust environmental protection electricity price policies such as desulfurization, denitrification and dust removal in a timely manner. Encourage all localities to study and improve the differential electricity price, water price and other price measures for backward processes, equipment and products in industries with high energy consumption, high pollution and overcapacity according to the actual industrial development and structural adjustment needs, combined with the process of system reform in the fields of electricity and water, and implement electricity price policies based on unit energy consumption exceeding quota for industries such as electrolytic aluminum and cement, so as to accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity and promote the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure.

(twenty) improve the system of paid use of resources and ecological compensation system. Accelerate the reform of natural resources and their products prices and fiscal and taxation systems, and fully reflect market supply and demand, resource scarcity, ecological environment damage costs and restoration benefits. Improve the resources and environment charging fund or paid use charging policy involving soil and water conservation, mines, grassland vegetation, forest vegetation, ocean dumping, etc. We will promote the reform of water resources fees, study the collection of water resources taxes, and promote the pilot projects in areas where groundwater is over-exploited. Take comprehensive measures to gradually rationalize the price of water resources, deepen the comprehensive reform of agricultural water prices, and promote the protection and economical use of water resources.

(twenty-one) innovation to promote regional development of the price policy. For government and social capital cooperation projects with regional characteristics, the price management should be liberalized as soon as possible if the competition conditions are met; If price management is still needed, explore the decentralization of pricing authority to local governments, improve the flexibility of price adjustment, and mobilize the enthusiasm of social investment. Accelerate the formulation and improvement of the price policy that adapts to the development of the free trade pilot zone, decentralize it to the autonomous implementation in the zone as soon as possible, and promote fair competition among various market players.

VI. Safeguard measures

The price work involves a wide range, strong policy and high social concern, which affects the whole body. We must strengthen the organization and implementation, scientifically formulate plans, improve supporting measures, and do a good job of public opinion guidance to provide a strong guarantee for accelerating the improvement of the price mechanism mainly determined by the market.

(twenty-two) to strengthen the organization and implementation. All relevant departments in all regions should fully understand the importance, urgency and arduousness of accelerating the improvement of the price mechanism mainly determined by the market, unify their thinking and form a joint force, so as to fight a tough battle with the spirit of "hard bones". It is necessary to conduct in-depth research and scientific argumentation, listen to opinions from all sides extensively, highlight key points, advance by classification, refine the work plan, summarize and evaluate in time, and advance steadily and orderly, so as to achieve practical results. If it has a significant impact and does not have the conditions for comprehensive opening, it can carry out pilot projects first, play a leading role in demonstration, and accumulate experience that can be replicated and promoted. It is necessary to pay close attention to implementation, clarify the timetable, road map and responsibility form, regularly supervise and strengthen accountability, and make every effort to get through the "first mile" of policy introduction, the "middle obstruction" of policy implementation and the "last mile" of policy implementation to ensure that all measures take root.

(twenty-three) improve the price legal system. Closely combined with the actual work of price reform, regulation and supervision, we will speed up the revision of relevant laws and regulations such as the price law, improve the price laws and regulations with the price law and anti-monopoly law as the core, formulate or revise government pricing behavior rules, cost supervision and examination, price monitoring, price hearings, standardize market price behavior and other rules and regulations in a timely manner, and comprehensively promote the rule of law.

(twenty-four) to strengthen capacity building. While reducing government pricing matters, we should pay attention to price monitoring and early warning, cost investigation and supervision, price regulation, market price supervision and anti-monopoly law enforcement, price public services, etc., and strengthen team building at the same time, enrich and strengthen the work force and consolidate the work foundation. Vigorously promote the construction of price informatization, and provide strong support for enhancing the ability of price regulation and supervision services. Encourage institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutions to establish price and anti-monopoly research institutions, strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, and train specialized personnel. Integrate anti-monopoly law enforcement subjects and forces, and relatively concentrate law enforcement power.

(twenty-five) the bottom line of people’s livelihood. Firmly establish the bottom line thinking, and always take safeguarding and improving people’s livelihood as the starting point and end result of the work. When carrying out price policies involving people’s livelihood, especially major price reform policies, we should fully consider the social affordability, especially the possible impact of policies on the lives of low-income groups, do a good job in risk assessment, and improve supporting measures. We will implement and improve the linkage mechanism linking social assistance, security standards and price increases, improve the social assistance system, especially the assistance measures for the poor, and ensure that the basic livelihood of the poor people will not be affected. Strengthen price supervision in the field of people’s livelihood, do a good job in mediation of price disputes, and safeguard the legitimate price rights and interests of the people.

(twenty-six) do a good job of public opinion guidance. Intensify publicity and reporting on comprehensively deepening price reform, standardizing government pricing, strengthening market price supervision and anti-monopoly law enforcement, strengthen news release, accurately explain price policies, tell the "price reform story", guide public opinion in time, respond to social concerns, convey good voice and positive energy that are conducive to accelerating the improvement of the price mechanism mainly determined by the market and promoting economic transformation and upgrading, and actively create a good public opinion atmosphere.

The Forbidden City is not exposed! Explore the anecdotes and secrets before the opening of the Forbidden City

Speaking of the Forbidden City, everyone knows that the red walls and yellow tiles, pavilions and palaces are magnificent, with endless historical stories and countless cultural treasures. However, this is only the world’s understanding of the appearance of the Forbidden City. People may never realize that there are fine "gears" running constantly in the huge body of the "giant" of the Forbidden City. They work for the Forbidden City from generation to generation, and they are "Forbidden City people".
Every cultural relic on display in the Forbidden City has its own keeper, and every ancient building has its own fixed maintainer. Every day, they look at the audience from all corners of the country and praise the majestic palaces and peerless treasures of the Forbidden City, while they are silently guarding outside the spotlight.
They are a very ordinary group of people in the Forbidden City, and they are nicknamed "General Standing in the Temple" by colleagues in the Forbidden City. Their department is the Open Management Office of the Forbidden City, which was established in 1984. Its scope of work includes all open areas during the opening hours of the Forbidden City. Its main duties are to take care of cultural relics and maintain order. This is the largest department in the Forbidden City, with more than 700 people. I was lucky enough to approach this group of "Forbidden City people" and listen to their stories about their decades in the Forbidden City. It turns out that there is another side of the world in this red wall that is completely unknown to us.
01
General Zhan Dian
At 7 o’clock every morning, one and a half hours before the opening of the Forbidden City, Wang Zhaoren, director of the Open Management Office, came to work. He was the first person from all over the place because "I don’t feel at ease if I don’t come early".
Wang Zhaoren once worked as a guard in the army for more than 20 years. The 1.8-meter-tall Shandong man is tall and straight, agile and capable, and doesn’t look like a man who is nearly 50 years old at all. Later, I came into contact with more "Forbidden City people" and found a strange phenomenon. People here are particularly young and energetic. Does the Forbidden City really have a magical magnetic field?
Chenxi of the Forbidden City
Like many "Forbidden City people", Wang Zhaoren also has a deep "Forbidden City complex" in his heart. "When I first joined the army in 1986, the army leaders took us to visit the Forbidden City, and I was deeply fascinated by it. At that time, I thought how good it would be if I could work here, defend the Forbidden City and protect precious cultural relics. I didn’t expect this dream to finally come true more than 20 years later." He told me that every day in the Forbidden City, despite the pressure of work, I felt particularly "happy", not only because I entered the palace, but also because my colleagues who worked together were "diligent and lovely".
In the morning, the staff entered the Forbidden City from Shenwumen to work.
Wang Zhaoren comes so early every day to supervise and inspect all the preparations for "opening the door". Unlike ordinary people, the Forbidden City has its own terminology. Opening the door is called "opening the door" and closing the door is called "closing the door", so the stress here is great.
The Forbidden City left many old rules. According to Ning Xiao, a leader of the Open Management Office who has specialized research in his spare time, many old rules of "opening doors" and "closing doors" of the Forbidden City were handed down from the Qing Dynasty. "In fact, in the former Qing Dynasty, it was the ouchi guards who were wearing yellow jackets, waist-horizontal and flat waist knives, and flowers on their heads, such as those who were on duty before the Qing Palace, who were the highest-ranking’ imperial guards’, those who were on duty outside the Qing door were the second’ dry guards’, the second’ blue guards’. In the former Qing Dynasty, these guards tirelessly defended the safety of the palace. Today, we are guarding a valuable world cultural heritage. It is still a bit interesting to be called the’ General Standing in the Temple’. "
02
Weird footprints
In the Qing Dynasty, the doors of the Forbidden City were similar to today, opening early and closing late. At that time, the locks were called "money and grain". In the morning, the palace supervisor shouted loudly: "Guards, money and grain have been given!" At the end of the night, before lighting the lamp, he also shouted: "Money and food!" .
There are hundreds of gates in the Forbidden City.
Up to now, this old rule of opening the door and shouting is still preserved in some old employees. Ning Xiao still remembers that when he first came to work in the Forbidden City after graduating from college, when he opened the door, he took his master and told him to "shout", and he shouted: "Open the door! Come! " These rules are more familiar to the older people in the Forbidden City. However, there was no one in the Forbidden City in the morning. Who should I shout to? "In the past, superstition was said to let the gods avoid it, but it was actually to scare away small animals." Ning Xiao said.
The cat in the Forbidden City has also become online celebrity.
There are all kinds of small animals living in the Forbidden City, not to mention cats. As "palace pets", they have now become online celebrity, in addition to weasels, owls and so on. Shen Lixia, secretary of the Party branch and deputy director of the Open Management Office, who has worked in the Forbidden City for more than 30 years, told me that the first thing to observe after opening the door is whether there are any abnormal marks at the door. It is a great alarm to find a footprint on the windowsill or wall, which must be checked before it can be lifted, but most of the time the footprints they see are not human. "There are footprints of various animals. The most interesting one is the badger with human feet. Its footprints are like baby’s little feet, which is very cute, but we have only seen its footprints, but we have never seen its true face."
Spring scenery in the Forbidden City
Shen Lixia still remembers the "adventure" she experienced when she opened the door in the 1980s. At that time, she was responsible for guarding the Chengsu Hall on Neidong Road. "As soon as I opened the door, I heard something moving in the hall, and the sound was not small. At that time, the Forbidden City was not equipped with professional security equipment. Several of us walked into the main hall with brooms and mops, only to find that an owl was flying around inside and slammed into the showcase. " It is said that the owl can’t see during the day, so it will bump into each other. It took us a long time to catch the owl, take it out of the temple and let it go.
03
Golden brick buster
Every morning before 8 o’clock, the team leaders of the Open Management Office will get the canvas bags with keys from the key room and lead their team members to the areas under the jurisdiction of each team. With the creaking sound of the ancient doors, more than 220 doors in the open area of the Forbidden City will be opened for the second time, and the Forbidden City will wake up from a deep sleep.
The key bag of the Forbidden City
Zhang Shaohua, the chief of the exhibition and maintenance department who once worked in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, described the scene every morning like this: "Pushing open the heavy doors of the Hall, the first ray of sunshine in the morning spilled in, sprinkled on the golden bricks, sprinkled on the carved beams and painted buildings, and hit the dragon chairs and plaques. The scene was as beautiful as a movie screen, and time seemed to stand still, and people seemed to have traveled back to the past, with an indescribable grandeur." Next, the day’s work begins, and their first task is to wipe the gold bricks.
Vicious ancient brick
Brick is a big brick with a square of two feet. This kind of brick made by special technology has been a special product of the Forbidden City since its initial construction. The golden bricks in the Hall of Supreme Harmony that we see now were laid during the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, and they are still as bright as new. A total of 4,718 bricks were laid in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City. Brick making is an ancient traditional handicraft skill, which takes up to two years. There are three versions of the origin of the name of the brick. One is that the brick was made in Suzhou and sent to Beijing, so it is called "Beijing Brick" and later evolved into "Brick". Another way of saying this is that after the bricks are made, the texture is extremely hard, and when they are struck, they will make a metallic sound. There is also a saying that in the Ming Dynasty, a gold brick was worth one or two ounces of gold, so it was called a gold brick.
Brilliant golden bricks
How to protect such priceless gold bricks? The unique tool is "oil mop". Zhou Tao, who is in charge of the maintenance of the BRICS, told me, "We use the oil mop soaked with kerosene to maintain the BRICS every day, which can not only make it shiny and bright, but also prolong its service life. We must not use water mop. Kerosene is also very elegant, using aviation kerosene, with high cleanliness, no harmful substances such as mechanical impurities and moisture, and little corrosion to BRICS. "
Early morning in the Forbidden City
In Zhou Tao’s impression, the BRICS in the three halls also suffered a "disaster". Most people would never think what their nemesis was, but it turned out to be pigeon dung. "I remember that at the beginning of 2016, when I first arrived at Santai (the old man in the Forbidden City called the first three halls), the most troublesome thing was the pigeon droppings in the first three halls, which not only hindered the view, but also corroded the BRICS.
Corner of the Forbidden City
The staff of the Open Management Office tried many ways to add a protective net above the temple door to reduce the height of the door. Later, they dug out pigeon eggs and placed pigeon cages to catch them. I didn’t expect small pigeons to be so easy to deal with. They flew fast, had a good memory, and had strong nesting and reproductive abilities, and finally had little effect. "In the end, we can only use the most primitive method. We use a long pole to tie a red rope and blow the pigeons out without giving them a chance to breathe, so that they can feel that it is dangerous here and dare not regard it as’ home’ again. In this way, the first three halls are finally clean. "
04
Secret weapon
To say that the most professional and meticulous cleaning of cultural relics is the exhibition room maintenance section of the Open Management Office of the Forbidden City, which was established in 2015. In 2016, the documentary fire of "I am repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City", the staff of this department also gave themselves a very loud name: "I am cleaning cultural relics in the Forbidden City".
Precious Song porcelain
When it comes to wiping cultural relics, it is also very learned. If you can’t go up, you must go through the professional training of the Ministry of Science and Technology of Cultural Protection of the Forbidden City. You can only do it after passing the examination and obtaining a certificate. Different cultural relics have different professional tools and operating procedures. "We are all in contact with national treasures, and we should take care of cultural relics as we care for our own eyes." The worker Jin Song said to me.
I clean cultural relics in the Forbidden City.
What is the secret weapon of cultural relics maintenance? Another thing that everyone would never expect-walnuts. "During the maintenance inspection of the West Sixth Palace and the Temple, we found that due to the long-term light and sun exposure, some of the rosewood benches and chairs in the Temple were dry and cracked, and the color was dull. After consulting a large number of books and materials, we decided to use the most primitive and harmless method for maintenance. First, we smashed the walnuts, took out all the walnuts inside, wrapped them in cloth and repeatedly crushed them, so that walnut oil could be eaten in the cloth, and then wiped the rosewood benches." The boys in the showroom maintenance department are very proud of these unique tricks, and they also summed up a main point of work, which is called "always wipe away, don’t make dust."
The guys who wipe cultural relics are all handsome.
At work, they also encountered many interesting things. "For example, during the maintenance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, we found small bones, feathers and coins hidden behind the dragon chair. We thought, who hid this?" Did the emperor hide it when he was a child? "Later, I heard from the old masters that this was done by a weasel. It seems that the weasel is really smart."
(To be continued, if you want to see more interesting things in the Forbidden City, please come early tomorrow.)

Wenchang "Village VA" player: My parents played coconut as volleyball, and volleyball was my whole youth.

On the evening of July 7, the "Village VA" in Wenchang, Hainan will usher in a new round of competition, and fans and villagers will rush to the scene to watch the game.

As a matter of fact, volleyball is a national sport for Wenchang people. Every night, villages gather together to kill the ball, and people from 80 to several years old gather on the sidelines to watch. On the basis of a large-scale mass, "Hainan Volleyball Watching Wenchang" is famous.

On the evening of June 30th this year, the "99 Cup" Hainan (Wenchang) Township Volleyball League was officially opened in 2023. There are 52 games in this competition, with 17 local township teams and 3 teams from other cities and counties participating.

The contestants are all "grassroots players" in various towns and villages, so this competition is also called "Village VA" by the public. Among the players, some have made a name for themselves in Wenchang, and everyone knows them, just like local "star players". Fu Xiangming from Dongjiao Town participated in the first national nine-a-side volleyball competition on behalf of Hainan Province, and Fu Yongjin University from Longlou Town won the first place in the country when playing volleyball.

Fu Shu of Huiwen Town is 61 years old. He has played volleyball all his life and was once the main setter of Huiwen Team. Unable to bounce in his old age, he retired to the position of coach. In his memory, Wenchang volleyball has been playing hot since the 1960s. My parents pulled a rope between two coconut trees and used the coconut as a ball.

"Volleyball is my whole youth." Fu Yongzhen said. For many Wenchang people, volleyball is a sport that melts in the blood of bones and accompanies them all their lives.

The following is their self-report:

Volleyball scene. Figure/provided by respondents

[1] Fu Yongjin, Longlou Town

I am now a volleyball coach in Haikou. This year, people in the town called me back to participate in the "Village VA", and I said no problem. Come from Haikou when there is a game, and you won’t feel bitter. How can sports be afraid of suffering?

In primary school, there were many events for us to choose from in physical education class. I chose volleyball at once and have been playing volleyball ever since.

Sometimes I play at school, sometimes I draw a line in the sand and start playing. We don’t have regular teammates either. When the time comes, everyone will spontaneously gather and play freely. Children, students, adults, the elderly, from a few years old to more than 60 years old. Everyone’s occupations are also varied, including catching fish, touching shrimp and selling vegetables. Everyone really loves volleyball and can play all night, even until one or two in the morning.

I later went to Wenchang Middle School, joined the school volleyball team and won the third place in the country. The university is also playing volleyball and won the first place in the country. I’m good at hitting people out of bounds, which is all accumulated over the years. Volleyball has occupied my whole youth.

After graduation, I wanted to do something for my hometown volleyball career, and then I came back to become a volleyball coach.

The conditions of volleyball now are much better than before. In the past, we used to have a concrete floor, but now it is a plastic floor. Although the conditions are better, I feel that children’s enthusiasm for volleyball is not as high as I was when I was a child, which may also be related to the more developed mobile phones and networks and the more things that everyone contacts. So when I lead the team, I will control the time when they go out to play, and at the same time strengthen all aspects of training.

When teaching, I will be very happy to meet students with good talents. Those with good talents should be trained hard, and those with bad talents should be strengthened.

I am very proud to learn that Wenchang will hold the "Village VA" this year. Last week, our competition in Longlou Town was full and the atmosphere was hot. I’ve been to this before.Between town and townThe game, but the attention is not as high as this time. Looking at so many spectators at the scene, to be honest, our mood must be higher.

When we are on the field, we definitely want to win. Everyone wants to win. At present, our goal is to reach the top four first.

Players in our town range from 15 to 40. As long as you are from this town, you can participate as long as you can play ball, and you won’t get an age card. It has really achieved national sports. I sincerely hope that "Village VA" can be held every year.

Wenchang is the hometown of volleyball, and our skills are excellent. The local government also supports volleyball very much. I hope to take this opportunity to let more people see Wenchang volleyball, and I hope that volleyball will become more popular.

Our team in the eastern suburbs has always been the best in Wenchang. People like to play volleyball more than other places, and many people play all night. The phrase "Wenchang volleyball looks at the eastern suburbs" was spread in the 1990s.

I am 43 years old. I work in Chunguang Coconut Factory. I will come out to play in the afternoon and evening when I have nothing to do. I don’t need to organize a game. I will play as many people as I want. When there are less than a dozen people, when there are many, there are one or two hundred people, all of whom gather on the sidelines and wait for the rotation.

Playing ball was taught by myself when I was a child. How can anyone teach me? Watch those adults play, and we will play next to them. I used to play every day, and I played for four or five hours every day. If I played too much, I became "famous" when my skills went up.

I received the notice of the game a month ago. In recent years, I have played in Wenchang competitions, big and small, and we often win the first prize in the eastern suburbs. People from other teams basically know me. My style of playing ball is fierce, my spike and strength are great, and I am easy to remember.

Our eastern suburbs are older as a whole, all of them are old players, and the youngest is in their twenties and thirties. You don’t have to practice before the game. You have been practicing for 30 years before the game. What are you practicing now? Just go up and call.

[3] Fu Fanghuan in Tanniu Town

In my impression, the volleyball atmosphere here is particularly strong, and almost every village has a volleyball court. We are a red land here, and pulling a net directly on the ground is the venue, where adults play volleyball every day. Influenced by my predecessors, I started playing volleyball when I was around 9 years old. I played with my peers or my brother who was a few years older than me.

Now it’s often after 7 pm to play volleyball here. It’s cool. When I was a child, the conditions of playing ball were not as good as now. There were no lights in the open field, so I played in the afternoon. It’s hot in Hainan during the day, but everyone is very enthusiastic, so it doesn’t matter whether it’s hot or not. We children often pick up some unwanted nets replaced by adults, find a place to pull them, draw a line on the ground with our feet and start playing.

The school also supports us to play volleyball, and almost every class will buy one or two volleyball.

I have good jumping ability and explosive power, and I am a setter in the team. We haven’t studied volleyball specially, but I will watch and imitate the players who play well by myself. But I am not tall. When I was in middle school, I especially envied them for being tall and playing volleyball well, and being able to participate in school competitions.

I studied in a foreign university. The volleyball culture there is not as strong as Wenchang. We couldn’t get together a volleyball class, so I learned football. After graduation, I went back to work in Wenchang and played badminton, but I always liked volleyball. Usually, on holidays, a volleyball match will be organized in the village and town, and we all participate.

In March this year, I heard about the "Village VA". Our town attaches great importance to this matter, and when I was asked to attend, I immediately agreed.

I think this event is really well done. First of all, he chose the weekend night, and many people have time to attend and watch it. In addition, the weekly games are held in one place, so fans can watch them all at once, and there is no need to go to one place in a game. Some fans really watch every game. Finally, many booths were set up at the competition site to show their specialties to various towns, which I think played a very good publicity effect.

I went to the opening ceremony last week, and I was very excited. The slogan of our Tanniu town is: I love volleyball, we are the best!

We will play in Tanniu town next week. Our players are of different ages, both older and younger than me. We are looking forward to it, but we will not predict the ranking. If you want to win, others want to win, right? We will try our best to play every game well. If you are good enough, you will win if you play well. As the saying goes, "Friendship comes first, competition comes second". Of course, we still have some goals, for example, now we are playing the game with the goal of qualifying for the group.

[4] Fu Shu of Huiwen Town

I am 61 years old and I am the volleyball coach of Huiwen Team.

I started playing when I was very young. My father played on the court and I played beside the court. At the earliest time, there was no volleyball and net. Everyone pulled a thread between two coconut trees, which was the net, and used coconut as a ball to play. They used to play as a team and they would "fight sheep". Which team won the first place and got a goat.

When I was a child, I squatted by the court and watched it. Later, I went to school. There was volleyball in the school and I began to learn to play serious volleyball. I especially liked it. In 1983, I have been playing volleyball since I came back from school. During the day, I was a farmer, raising fish and shrimp, and at night I went to play ball. I have been playing volleyball all my life.

In the past, I was the main setter of the Huiwen team and participated in many competitions in the city on behalf of the Huiwen team. Now that I am too old to jump, I retired as a coach for eleven years.

Now that the internet is developed, I don’t like playing mobile phone and watching TV at home. I go to the stadium every night, and volleyball is my main entertainment. A few years ago, many people of our age were still playing on the court. In the past two years, they are too old to jump, so they just cushion the ball and upload it, so they can’t play in big games.

Recently, in the "Jiujiu Cup", every night around 8 o’clock, people in our town will play on the village courts. Children from a few years old to people in their eighties are all watching the ball on the sidelines, which is very lively. When they come, they can feel the atmosphere.

We have had quite a lot of volleyball matches in Wenchang. In previous matches, we won the second place in the city. This is a relatively big event. My goal is to make it to the quarter-finals at least and to "fight hard". This week, we will play at home. For this game, we also selected some good players from the town, and the players are in a particularly good state now.
