The National Copyright Administration announced ten major copyright events in China in 2017.

  People’s Daily Online, Beijing, March 5 (Fu Changchao) The reporter learned from the National Copyright Administration that "Ten Major Copyright Events in China in 2017" were released to the public today. The ten major events selected by the National Copyright Administration are:

  First, favorable policies for copyright in the new era have been continuously introduced.

  The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is necessary to "advocate innovative culture and strengthen the creation, protection and application of intellectual property rights", and established the general tone of intellectual property work in the new era, including copyright, and the situation of copyright work continued to improve. In January, the State Council issued the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for the Protection and Utilization of National Intellectual Property Rights" and the National Copyright Administration issued the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for Copyright Work"; In November, the first meeting of the 19th Central Deep Reform Group deliberated and adopted the Opinions on Strengthening Reform and Innovation in the Field of Intellectual Property Trial. A series of macro-policies have been introduced one after another, which have injected strong impetus into the development of China’s copyright cause and provided guarantee for building a copyright power and an innovative country.

  Two, the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) to carry out copyright law enforcement inspection.

  In 2017, the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) carried out law enforcement inspection of copyright law. Vice Chairman Wang Chen and others personally led a team to Beijing, Shanghai, Fujian, Guangdong, Qinghai and other five provinces and cities to carry out inspection. At the same time, the Standing Committee of People’s Congress of ten provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, including Tianjin, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing, Guizhou and Sichuan, was entrusted to inspect the implementation of copyright law within their respective administrative regions. This is the largest law enforcement inspection since the implementation of the copyright law in 1991, which is of great significance to enhance the copyright awareness of the whole society, improve the level of copyright protection, promote the development of copyright industry and promote the revision of copyright law.

  Three, the National Copyright Administration to promote the continuous improvement of online music copyright order

  Since focusing on rectifying the copyright order of online music in 2015, in view of the phenomenon that grabbing exclusive copyright and driving up copyright licensing fees are not conducive to the wide spread of music works and the healthy development of online music industry, in September 2017, the National Copyright Administration interviewed major online music service providers and domestic and foreign music companies, demanding full authorization of online music works, avoiding exclusive authorization, guiding and exploring the establishment of a good online music copyright authorization and operation model in line with market rules and international practices, and jointly promoting the prosperous, healthy and orderly development of online music. The major online music service providers responded positively and authorized each other, and the copyright order of online music continued to improve.

  Fourth, the core copyright industry in China has developed rapidly

  In 2017, news publishing, radio, film and television, software design, animation and games and other industries accelerated the integration and development of Internet technology, and promoted the rapid development of the core copyright industry. Among them, the movie box office exceeded 55.9 billion yuan, and Wolf Warriors 2 topped the list with 5.68 billion yuan; The overall operating income of the game industry was about 218.96 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 23.1%. According to the survey data of "Economic Contribution of Copyright Industry in China in 2016" released by China Press and Publication Research Institute, the copyright industry accounted for 7.33% of China’s GDP in 2016, of which the core copyright industry accounted for 4.58% of GDP, accounting for 62% of all copyright industries, with an average annual growth rate of 13.4%. The rapid development of core copyright industry has played an important supporting role in promoting China’s economic and cultural development.

  Five, "Sword Network Action" highlights the outstanding role of protecting online copyright.

  In 2017, the National Copyright Administration, the National Network Information Office, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly launched the 13th "Jianwang 2017" special campaign to crack down on online infringement and piracy. Copyright law enforcement and supervision departments at all levels, together with the departments of Internet Information, Industry Information and Public Security, inspected 63,000 websites, shut down 2,554 infringing and pirated websites, deleted 710,000 infringing and pirated links, collected 2.76 million infringing and pirated products, placed 543 cases on file for investigation, investigated 57 criminal cases involving 107 million yuan, and released 20 typical cases of online infringement and piracy to the public. Since the "Sword Network Action" was launched continuously for 13 years, the phenomenon of large-scale infringement and piracy has been curbed, and the network copyright environment has continued to improve, increasingly highlighting the outstanding role of protecting network copyright.

  Six, the establishment of 11 intellectual property courts nationwide.

  In 2017, the Supreme Court approved the establishment of specialized intellectual property courts with cross-regional jurisdiction in 11 cities, including Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, Jinan, Fuzhou, Qingdao, Hefei, Hangzhou, Ningbo and Shenzhen, so as to promote the unification of standards, scales and quality improvement of intellectual property cases. The establishment of 11 intellectual property courts has enabled China to form a "3+11" specialized intellectual property judicial institution consisting of 3 intellectual property courts and 11 intellectual property courts in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. This is of great significance to further improve the judicial protection system and strengthen the judicial protection of intellectual property rights, including copyright.

  Seven, China news media copyright protection alliance was established.

  News works are the core resources of news media, and the copyright protection of news works has been highly valued by all walks of life. On April 26, 2017, at the 2017 China Internet Copyright Protection Conference hosted by the National Copyright Administration, 10 central news organizations, including People’s Daily, Xinhua News Agency, CCTV and China Search, initiated the establishment of the "China News Media Copyright Protection Alliance" and issued the "China News Media Copyright Protection Alliance Declaration". In addition to the 10 sponsors of the alliance, 122 newspapers, periodicals, radio stations and television stations across the country issued the Statement on Strengthening the Copyright Protection of News Works, which clearly expressed their firm stance on safeguarding copyright. Subsequently, the National Provincial Party Newspaper Group Copyright Protection Alliance and China Financial Media Copyright Protection Alliance were established one after another, and the traditional media rallied to safeguard the copyright of news works.

  Eight, software legalization to promote the development of software industry.

  In 2017, the inter-ministerial joint conference on promoting the use of genuine software strengthened overall coordination, service guidance, supervision and inspection, and achieved new results in promoting the use of genuine software. Party and government organs at all levels purchased 1.277 million sets of operating systems, office and anti-virus software, and central enterprises and financial institutions purchased 2.4511 million sets of operating systems, office and anti-virus software. A total of 37,667 enterprises nationwide were promoted to realize software legalization. The inter-ministerial joint meeting inspected 389 units and 26,989 computers. Party and government organs and large and medium-sized enterprises took the lead in using genuine software, which played a good role in demonstrating and leading, promoted the continuous enhancement of software innovation ability, and the number of software copyright registrations increased substantially. In 2017, the number of software copyright registrations reached 745,400, an increase of 83% year-on-year; Revenue from software and information technology services reached 5.5 trillion yuan, up 13.9% year-on-year.

  Nine, the role of judicial trial in copyright protection is increasing.

  In 2017, the people’s courts effectively resolved all kinds of copyright disputes through the trial of cases, and the role of judicial trials in copyright protection continued to increase. For example, in the piracy case of Tencent v. Storm Company’s "The Voice of China (the third season)", the court found that Storm Company constituted an infringement and sentenced it to compensate Tencent for a single episode of over 1 million yuan and a total of 6.06 million yuan for six episodes, setting a new record for the compensation for a single variety show in Beijing. In the first-instance judgment of Netease v YY on copyright infringement and unfair competition, the court made it clear that live video games constituted copyright infringement of video games, and sentenced the defendant to compensate the plaintiff for economic losses of 20 million yuan, setting the highest compensation for online game infringement at present. With the increasing amount of compensation, the judicial protection of copyright is increasing.

  Ten, artificial intelligence creation brings new copyright problems.

  2017 is the first year of artificial intelligence, which plays an important role in news gathering, literary creation and other fields. In May, The Sunlight Lost the Window was published by Beijing United Publishing Company, which is known as the first poetry collection created by artificial intelligence 100% in human history. The emergence of a large number of artificial intelligence creations and the foreseeable rapid growth have triggered a heated discussion on the copyright and ownership of artificial intelligence creations, which has become a hot topic in the copyright theory circle in 2017.

Li Bingbing was exposed to a handsome foreign boyfriend and responded: That is an English teacher.


Li Bingbing was exposed to a foreign boyfriend.



Foreign English Teachers in Li Bingbing


  New Express reporter Liu Yan Li Bingbing has a mysterious foreign boyfriend? Li Bingbing, who was filming Tsui Hark’s work "Di Renjie’s Empire" (hereinafter referred to as "Di Renjie") in Hengdian, was diagnosed with 70% lung compression on the 27th and admitted to Dongyang People’s Hospital for treatment. Yesterday, it was reported that Li Bingbing was discharged from the hospital at 9: 00 pm on the 28th, accompanied by a foreign handsome boy and assistant, and returned to the crew to continue filming.


  Who is this handsome guy? Why is his relationship with Li Bingbing so close? At that time, it caused a lot of speculation, and even more media pointed out that this foreign handsome boy was Li Bingbing’s mysterious boyfriend.


  "What, that’s my English teacher!" At noon yesterday, the reporter dialed the telephone of Li Bingbing, and she dismissed the rumor in distress situation. It sounds like Li Bingbing’s voice is still full of enthusiasm, and she believes that her body has recovered well. She said, "Actually, there was no big problem before, and now my body is quite good. Thank you for your concern. "


  The admission lips were purple, and the diagnosis was spontaneous pneumothorax.


  Li Bingbing suffered a lot of injuries while filming "Di Renjie". His hand was swollen when he was practicing whipping. Earlier, he fell off a horse and hurt his ankle. He was also trampled by a horse and broke his leg. Now that the filming of the film is coming to an end, her health is red again. At noon on the 27th, Li Bingbing rushed to Dongyang People’s Hospital for treatment. According to the hospital staff, Li Bingbing was wearing sunglasses and his lips were purple when he arrived at the hospital, and the director of the emergency room personally attended the consultation. The examination results show that it is spontaneous pneumothorax, and the lung is compressed by 70%. It is suggested to do closed thoracic drainage, that is, use a tube, one end of which is connected to the chest lung and the other end is connected to a water seal bottle to exhaust the air in the chest.


  "In fact, it is to stick a very small needle into the chest cavity, which is not as exaggerated as the need for surgical intubation or even a hole." An accompanying person told the reporter, "Director Tsui Hark specially called Bing Bing and suggested that she rest at ease. The crew can adjust the shooting time. But the doctor said there was nothing serious, so we were discharged so soon. "


  It is reported that when Li Bingbing was hospitalized, the glass at the door of the ward was covered with white paper to prevent candid shots, and three security guards were arranged to stay at the door, even nurses and cleaners were not allowed to enter. A foreign handsome boy was witnessed to frequently go in and out of Li Bingbing’s ward. He also accompanied Bing Bing on the set of Di Renjie.


  Discharge black hat, foreign handsome boy holding flowers way


  Generally, patients with pneumothorax need to be hospitalized for several days, but "model worker" Li Bingbing only stayed for one day and was discharged in a hurry. At 9 o’clock on the evening of 28th, Li Bingbing was discharged from the hospital wearing a black hat, sunglasses and a black coat. She was slightly emaciated and was escorted by several staff members, while a handsome foreign guy was escorting her with a bunch of lilies.


  Li Bingbing’s agent said that from the Spring Festival to now, Li Bingbing’s work has never stopped, and Li Bingbing’s physical condition has declined due to the horse fall and the hot weather. "But Bingbing felt lucky to cooperate with Tsui Hark, fearing that it would affect the shooting progress, so he didn’t tell the crew. According to the report, she coughed because there were some shots on the set to release smoke, and the smoke contained a lot of granular substances, which were all sucked into the throat by the actors in a closed environment, not only icy, but also particularly uncomfortable for each of us. "


  Clarify that you are in good health. Handsome guy is actually an English teacher.


  Yesterday, Li Bingbing told reporters on the phone that when she was discharged from the hospital, the doctor told her to pay attention to aftercare, do less strenuous exercise and didn’t prescribe medicine for her. When she was in the hospital, she also did some related physical examinations, and the results were normal. My physical foundation is still very good. As for the legendary mysterious foreign handsome boy, Li Bingbing clarified that it was her English teacher, Mr. Lei, and they usually talked in English and practiced oral English ice and ice. "If you have to say that he has other identities, it is half a staff member of our company, and many reporters know him."


  It is reported that "Di Renjie" will be finished on August 2nd, and now Li Bingbing has to start work every day, but there is only one action scene on horseback, and the rest are literary dramas. "I’m filming now. There’s really no big problem. Thank you for your concern!" Bingbing said cheerfully on the phone.

China’s first English proficiency assessment standard was released.

  On December 16, 2017, candidates waited and prepared for the exam outside the CET-4 and CET-6 test center of Shandong Liaocheng University. Photo by Gu Hetian Qi/Bright Picture/vision china

  On April 12th, the China English Proficiency Scale (hereinafter referred to as the Scale), the first English proficiency assessment standard for Chinese English learners, was issued by the Ministry of Education and the State Language Commission and officially implemented on June 1st, 2018.

  Three sections and nine grades: building a multi-level ability index system

  Guided by the use of language, the scale divides the English proficiency of Chinese English learners from low to high into three stages: foundation, improvement and proficiency, with nine levels, and gives a comprehensive, clear and informative description of the ability characteristics of each level.

  According to Jiang Gang, director of the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education, in order to make the scale conform to China’s national conditions and teaching conditions, the determination of three sections and nine grades is based on the results of empirical research on 160,000 teachers and students in 28 provinces, more than 1,500 schools across the country, with reference to the existing curriculum standards, syllabus and examination syllabus, as well as the analysis of social needs.

  There are 86 competency tables in the scale, including 1 language proficiency table, 8 sub-skill tables, 8 self-evaluation tables and 69 sub-skill tables. The reporter saw that the competency matrix includes the language competency matrix, as well as the skills matrix in eight aspects: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, oral expression, written expression, structural ability, pragmatic ability, interpretation ability and translation ability. Among them, the translation and interpretation proficiency scale fills the gap that the language proficiency scale at home and abroad has not included translation competence.

  When explaining this multi-level ability index system, Liu Jianda, vice president of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and a member of the expert group on the construction of foreign language ability evaluation system, said: "The scale describes the continuous state of English ability, and every English learner and user can find their own position." The scale is described in a "can do" way. For example, the language proficiency summary describes "level 1" as "being able to understand simple language materials that are very familiar in daily life, identify basic information about related activities or things around you, and understand the meaning of basic words. You can communicate with others in basic and short words, greet each other, introduce or describe each other, state the basic information of things around you, and show your attitude, sometimes with the help of non-verbal means such as repetition or gestures and expressions. "

  Wang Shouren, a professor at Nanjing University and chairman of the College Foreign Language Teaching Steering Committee of the Ministry of Education, said: "The formulation of the scale has the characteristics of foundation, guidance and integration."

  "Equal Quantity and Balance": Breaking Different Examination Barriers

  It is understood that there are the following problems in China’s current foreign language examinations: First, there are many existing foreign language examinations with different standards, the concept of examination level is unclear, and the scores of different examinations are incomparable, which is not conducive to users’ understanding and use, and is not conducive to promoting scientific talent selection. Second, the content of the examination is not comprehensive, and the positive orientation of the examination to foreign language teaching is insufficient. There is a lack of effective connection between the examinations of various academic periods, and there are cases of repeated contents or broken files. These are not conducive to promoting the coherent and orderly development of teaching, and are not conducive to the improvement of teaching effectiveness. Third, the international recognition of foreign language examinations in China is not high, which is not conducive to improving the level of internationalization of education.

  "The goal of the foreign language proficiency assessment system is to change the situation that the existing examinations are incomplete, unsystematic and unconnected, and to establish a foreign language proficiency assessment standard and examination system with China characteristics, international standards and multiple functions, so as to better serve the scientific selection of talents, serve the development of foreign language education and teaching, and promote the improvement of students’ comprehensive foreign language ability." Jiang Gang said.

  As the core task of the construction of foreign language assessment system, the formulation of the scale aims at providing a scientific ability index system and an accurate ability scale for various English tests, giving play to the role of "balancing quantity with quantity", making the test design more comprehensive and systematic, making the test scores comparable, providing a basis for the communication and mutual recognition of different learning achievements, promoting the convergence of different learning segments and promoting the coherent and orderly development of foreign language education.

  In terms of English assessment, Han Baocheng, a professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University and a member of the expert group on the construction of foreign language proficiency assessment system, commented: "The scale can improve the quality of exams, promote the docking and mutual recognition of domestic and foreign exams, and promote the development of multiple assessments." Specifically, it provides a scientific ability evaluation standard for the content design, test question system, marking and performance report of various examinations; Provide a unified yardstick for connecting and positioning domestic and foreign exams, enhance the comparability of exams, and promote the docking and mutual recognition of domestic and foreign exams; Provide competency reference standards for the process and summative evaluation methods of English teaching, and promote the development of multiple evaluations. "

  It is reported that the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education has signed an agreement with Britain and the United States to start the docking research between IELTS, TOEFL and China Scale.

  Complementarity and mutual promotion: docking teaching, learning and testing

  Then, what is the relationship between the scale and the curriculum standards and examination syllabus of basic education?

  Wang Shouren, who participated in the revision of English curriculum standards for basic education, explained: "The scale and curriculum standards go in the same direction and complement each other." The scale is highly consistent with the teaching requirements such as curriculum standards in improving students’ core literacy, and fully meets the teaching requirements of each period in terms of key language skills. Moreover, the descriptors of pragmatic ability and cognitive ability in the scale play a leading and guiding role in English teaching, that is, our English teaching should focus on cultivating students’ language application ability and learning ability. In terms of specific functions, the difference between the scale and the curriculum standard is that the curriculum standard is a teaching program formulated for a certain learning period, which puts forward prescriptive requirements for the teaching content; The scale is a reference standard for all kinds of learners, which mainly plays a role in testing the ability level in examination application.

  It is understood that the scale is not a syllabus or an examination syllabus, and its nine grades are not mandatory for students. At the same time, the scale can help language learners to self-diagnose their English ability, find out their strengths and weaknesses, and set learning goals in a targeted way, which is helpful to cultivate students’ autonomous learning ability and make foreign language learning more personalized.

  Jiang Gang said that how to apply the scale in the next teaching, learning and testing needs teachers and examiners to decide according to the specific situation. The Examination Center of the Ministry of Education is developing the National English Proficiency Test on the basis of the scale, which lays the foundation for reducing repeated tests and improving the system of the test. At present, it is mainly considered to cooperate with the strategy of cultivating high-quality talents and develop examinations for the higher education stage with strong social demand.

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.

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.

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.

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 …
