New regulations for infant formula milk powder are introduced.

  Beijing Electric (Reporter Kong Dechen) The State Administration of Market Supervision recently deliberated and passed the Measures for the Administration of Formula Registration of Infant Formula Milk Powder (hereinafter referred to as the Measures), further refining the label and instructions of infant formula milk powder, and helping the industry to develop with high quality.

  The quality and safety of infant formula milk powder is related to the health and life safety of infants. Zhou Shiping, director of the Special Food Department of the State Administration of Market Supervision, said that in recent years, the annual sampling pass rate of infant formula milk powder has exceeded 99%, the product quality has been significantly improved, and the milk powder industry has developed in a standardized manner; The market share of domestic brands is increasing year by year. In 2020, the sales of domestic brands of infant formula will account for about 60%, and consumer confidence will be significantly boosted. However, how to further tighten formula registration, optimize approval process, promote formula research and development, and encourage enterprise innovation needs to be clarified from the legislative level.

  The "Measures" made detailed provisions on the application and registration procedures, labels and instructions, supervision and management, legal responsibilities and other aspects of enterprises planning to produce, sell and import infant formula milk powder in China. The main contents include:

  First, strict formula registration and detailed verification requirements. Clarify the situation and requirements of on-site verification, and emphasize that on-site verification needs to take samples of dynamic production for inspection; It is explicitly prohibited to repackage in disguised form and 8 cases of non-registration, such as the application materials are fraudulent and untrue, the scientific and safety basis of the product formula is insufficient, and the applicant does not have the research and development ability, production ability or inspection ability suitable for the product formula applied for registration.

  The second is to further standardize label identification and safeguard consumer rights. If it is clear that there are words of animal origin in the product name, the milk protein sources such as raw milk, milk powder and whey powder should all come from this species; Where raw milk, raw milk powder and other raw materials are claimed, the country of origin or specific source shall be truthfully indicated. At the same time, further refine the contents prohibited in the label, such as the functions of disease prevention and treatment; Do not express or imply that it has health care functions such as enhancing immunity and regulating intestinal flora; Fuzzy information such as imported milk source, foreign pasture, ecological pasture, imported raw materials, original ecological milk source and pollution-free milk source shall not be used; Do not use "human emulsification", "breast milk" or similar terms.

  Li Liangqiu, executive vice president of China Nutrition and Health Food Association, said: "The new Measures are oriented to the healthy development of the industry and provide a solid guarantee for the healthy, benign and orderly development of the infant formula milk powder industry. At present, the infant formula milk powder market is safe and stable. According to estimates, the total retail sales of infant formula milk powder categories in 2022 will be about 140 billion yuan.

Love is like a tornado: two people get married after four hours of company dinner.

  Reporter Zheng Sanbo Intern Yan Meng

  What can I do in four hours? For office workers, it is just half a day’s work; For self-driving families, they can get to Wuxi and Chengkou &hellip from the main city of Chongqing. … In four hours, Tangxi and Zhang Yan completed the life event from meeting, knowing each other, falling in love to deciding to register for marriage. Just like Jay Chou’s song, love is like a tornado. Yesterday, Tangxi and Zhang Yan registered their marriage in Yubei District.

  meet

  Although we are colleagues, we don’t have much contact.

  Colleagues set them up at dinner.

  Yesterday morning, Tang Xi and Zhang Yan came to the Marriage Registration Center in Yubei District and formally registered their marriage. When the two put the marriage certificate in the circle of friends, the friends in the group exclaimed — — The night before, everyone was joking to let them spend Tanabata together. It was too steep!

  "When we had dinner together last night, everyone was still making fun of them. This pair of older single young people just got together and spent Valentine’s Day together." Zhao Siheng, Tang Xi’s good friend and colleague, said that this is too sudden, but I still want to bless them.

  Yesterday afternoon, the two were busy taking time off to travel, and the leaders were very willing to promote their feelings and prepare to approve their holidays.

  Tang Xi told reporters that he works in the office of a passenger transport company in Renhe, and Zhang Yan is the finance of the branch. On the afternoon of August 8, the company held a business training activity. After the activity, at about 8 pm, everyone had a dinner together.

  "More than 20 of us were sitting around, and she just sat next to me." Tang Xi said that although they had known each other for three years, Zhang Yan worked in the company office because he was engaged in accounting work in a branch office, so he didn’t have much contact at ordinary times, only occasionally contacted several times, and he didn’t have any deep friendship.

  The two were sitting at the same table for dinner. Since they were both older and single, other colleagues joked about them. "Looking at you two love in the city, it’s a perfect match." "Let’s spend the Tanabata together." "You two are both alone now, so why don’t you make friends?"

  know each other well

  I was scared by my parents’ forced marriage

  From embarrassment to common interests

  "At that time, everyone said a word to me, which made me a little moved." Tang Xi said that he is 35 years old. In the last four or five years, his parents have been forced to get married, and he has been dragged to blind date seven or eight times. However, some of them are not satisfied with the meeting, and some of them have not felt separated for a while, and they are still single until now. From Zhang Yan’s conversation, I found that her experience was similar to her own. "I have been forced to marry by my mother for three or four years, but I have not found a satisfactory person." Zhang Yan spoke to Tangxi.

  Zhang Yan said that during her conversation with Tangxi, she found that both of them were forced to get married by their parents, and the conversation started. The two talked about hobbies and family situation from tucao forced marriage, and later found that everyone had a common hobby of traveling, so they talked about traveling again.

  By the end of the dinner party, Zhang Yan found that it would be good to make friends with Tangxi, who had the same experience and common interests, and Tangxi was taller than herself and friendly to people, so she was a good marriage partner.

  be in love with each other

  Send her home reluctantly.

  Parting decided to get married at dawn.

  After the dinner at 10 o’clock in the evening, Tangxi offered to send Zhang Yan home. "On the way home, we talked about many topics. We all know that we have fallen in love with each other. " Tang Xi said that when they arrived at Zhang Yan’s residential area, they were both a little reluctant to part.

  Two people very much in love to zero respectively, Zhang Yan suddenly found Tang Xi quite suitable for their own, mature and steady, all aspects of the conditions are good. She suddenly said half jokingly, "Since we are all forced to get married, do you dare to marry me?" Hearing this, Tang Xi said, "It’s over." "Well, come to my house at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning and pick me up to get the certificate." "It’s a deal."

  It took only four hours for the two to meet, know each other, fall in love and finally decide to register for marriage.

  Tangxi

  Fate is coming.

  Get married decisively

  We are not blind to get a marriage certificate, because we have known each other for more than three years, but we don’t know each other well enough. During the dinner, I asked Zhang Yan’s friends and leaders about her. Everyone said that she was dutiful, kind, unassuming, and did a good job. The disadvantage was that she was picky. She didn’t have a boyfriend until she was 30 years old, and she occasionally played a little temper. If she could tolerate it, there would be no problem.

  Over the years, I have met many people, but I haven’t found anyone who makes me want to get married. Although I only talked with Zhang Yan for three or four hours, I feel that the other person is very suitable for me and is more suitable for getting married. Maybe I feel it. When fate comes, I will get married decisively.

  ZhangYan

  Meet the right person

  You must seize it.

  That night, I also privately asked a few of Doncy’s colleagues about him. Everyone says he is good. He doesn’t smoke, drink or gamble. He doesn’t have any bad habits, but he is lazy. When he gets home, he stays on the sofa and watches TV. He doesn’t like to tidy up his house. Since I chose him, I will change him slowly.

  I used to be picky, but now I’m getting anxious after I’ve passed 30 hurdles. At present, there are not many outstanding older single young men. Through chatting, I found that Tangxi is not bad, so I must seize the right one.

  reaction

  Parents are surprised first and then happy.

  At 8 o’clock yesterday morning, Tangxi went to see Zhang Yan’s parents. "We were surprised!" Zhang Yan’s mother said, but after understanding, I know that they belong to the same company and have known each other for three years. We are still happy that our daughter can find a good marriage partner.

  After that, Donsie took Zhang Yan’s parents to meet her parents. After the parents agreed, the two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau for marriage registration around 11 o’clock.

  sound

  Choose flash marriage to be calm.

  Tan Gangqiang, a sociologist in Chongqing, said that it is not easy to judge whether flash marriage is good or bad. Some flash marriages are very happy, and some divorce soon. However, if you choose flash marriage, you should keep a cool head and be tolerant and patient with each other after marriage, so that flash marriage will be happier and longer.

Improve the ability of earthquake resistance and disaster prevention and protect a harmonious and beautiful home.

At 17: 00 on June 1, an earthquake of magnitude 6.1 occurred in Lushan County, Ya ‘an City, Sichuan Province. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development launched a Class III emergency response in accordance with regulations to guide the disaster-stricken areas to carry out emergency assessment of housing construction and municipal infrastructure. The housing and urban-rural construction system of Sichuan Province immediately organized personnel to go to the epicenter to carry out earthquake relief work.

After investigation, there were no casualties caused by the collapse of houses in Ya ‘an city, especially after the Lushan earthquake of magnitude 7.0 in 2013, 1,737 urban houses and 15,125 rural houses newly built in Lushan County did not collapse in the earthquake, and the municipal infrastructure did not appear serious damage. The relevant person in charge said that the highest intensity of the earthquake was 8 degrees. Although the seismic fortification intensity of Lushan County was only 7 degrees, the buildings and municipal infrastructure in the disaster area still withstood the "test" of the earthquake.

In August, 2021, after the promulgation of the Regulations on Earthquake-resistant Management of Construction Projects (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations), the housing and urban-rural construction system in Sichuan Province quickly carried out the training on publicizing the Regulations, and popularized the relevant regulations through multiple channels and in all directions, which enhanced the administrative departments and the public’s understanding of the importance of earthquake-resistant management of construction projects and created a good social atmosphere for the implementation of the Regulations. Focusing on the new tasks and requirements put forward in the Regulations, combined with previous practical experience in earthquake resistance, the housing and urban-rural construction system of Sichuan Province is organizing the compilation of local standards related to seismic isolation and shock absorption, so as to provide guarantee for the implementation of the Regulations.

Strengthen scientific and technological support and formulate a set of standard system

Sichuan housing and urban-rural construction system takes technical standards as the criterion and bottom line of engineering construction, pays attention to the research and development and application of earthquake-resistant technology, issues relevant technical standards and regulations, strengthens scientific and technological support, and strictly controls all processes of engineering construction to ensure the implementation of earthquake-resistant and disaster-prevention requirements.

Improve the standard system. Compile and issue a series of local standards on seismic fortification engineering construction, such as Technical Specification for Seismic Appraisal and Reinforcement of Buildings in Sichuan Province, Technical Standard for Assembling Integral Composite Shear Wall Structure in Sichuan Province, Technical Standard for Application of Laminated Rubber Isolation Bearings in Buildings in Sichuan Province, and Technical Standard for Steel Structure of Multi-storey Buildings in High Intensity Areas in Sichuan Province. More than 3 million copies of rural housing general atlas, quality and safety manual and seismic fortification wall chart, such as Technical Guidelines for Seismic Evaluation and Reinforcement of Rural Houses in Sichuan Province and Atlas of Seismic Structure of Rural Residential Buildings in Sichuan Province, were compiled and printed, so as to strengthen the popularization and application of prefabricated concrete structures, steel structures and seismic isolation technologies, and effectively guide the earthquake prevention and disaster prevention work in accordance with regulations.

Strict standards are implemented. Adhere to the requirements of earthquake resistance and disaster prevention in the whole process of site selection, planning, survey, design, construction drawing review, construction, supervision, completion acceptance, use and management of new projects, organize regular spot checks on survey and design quality and major inspections on the quality and safety of projects under construction, strictly examine and approve the seismic fortification of over-limit high-rise buildings, and compact the seismic fortification responsibilities of five main bodies, and implement the one-vote veto system for seismic review of construction drawings, the statistical reporting system for engineering quality and the record of completion acceptance.

Reserve a group of backbone forces around the construction of talent team

Sichuan housing and urban-rural construction system takes the construction of professional and technical personnel as an important starting point to implement the requirements of earthquake resistance and disaster prevention, sets up a team of experts, reserves professional and technical backbones, and improves the service efficiency of professional and technical personnel for earthquake resistance and disaster prevention.

Strengthen technical support. Conduct training for rural construction craftsmen and township construction management personnel in groups and districts, improve the awareness and ability of rural housing construction practitioners in earthquake resistance and disaster prevention, organize graduation examinations, and issue certificates for rural construction craftsmen. By the end of 2021, more than 30,000 rural construction craftsmen had been trained and participated extensively in the whole process of rural housing construction management; At the same time, more than 2,000 front-line supervisors of quality and safety supervision institutions will be trained to ensure the ability of earthquake resistance and disaster prevention of construction projects from the link of project quality supervision. Establish a rural housing construction supervision and inspection system of "going to the township, village, point and household" to ensure the implementation of seismic fortification measures. 143 experts in geotechnical engineering, municipal construction and other fields were selected, and an expert database for seismic review was established to provide technical support and guarantee for the special review of seismic fortification.

Build a strong emergency relief team. Combined with many post-earthquake emergency assessment practices, the training of experts in post-earthquake emergency assessment of housing construction was strengthened, with a total of more than 1200 people trained. Vigorously strengthen the construction of emergency rescue capability, and set up a provincial emergency rescue team consisting of 77 units in six categories: engineering survey, architectural engineering design, municipal engineering design, construction general contracting, engineering supervision and construction engineering quality inspection, which effectively enriched the emergency rescue force and improved the professional ability level of emergency rescue.

Pay close attention to risk investigation and rectification to eliminate a number of potential safety hazards

Sichuan’s housing and urban-rural construction system adheres to the working idea of early detection and early elimination, and coordinated at the provincial, city and county levels to thoroughly investigate and rectify hidden dangers in housing construction, completely eliminate hidden dangers and ensure the safety of the people.

Establish a linkage and coordination mechanism. Issued the work plan for the investigation and rectification of safety risks in housing construction and personnel gathering places, adhered to the "weekly dispatch and monthly notification", held regular coordination mechanism work meetings, and urged the implementation of the work. Actively carry out the first national natural disaster risk survey, and comprehensively find out the basic capacity of disaster-bearing bodies in housing construction and municipal infrastructure to resist natural disasters. Adhere to the principle of "general survey and rectification at the same time", and timely rectify the housing buildings and municipal infrastructure found to have potential safety hazards in the general survey through maintenance and reinforcement, renovation of old residential areas, etc.

Establish an information supervision platform. Take the lead in establishing the "intelligent supervision platform for housing quality and safety in the whole province" in the country, build a database of housing quality and safety, and further improve the dual prevention mechanism of grading management and control of construction safety risks and investigation and management of hidden dangers. The relevant work has been affirmed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the relevant practices have been promoted nationwide.

Carry out special rectification of self-built houses. In accordance with the requirements of the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Printing and Distributing the National Work Plan for Special Renovation of Self-built Houses, we should do a good job of "tackling the key problems in a hundred days", comprehensively find out the seismic capacity of housing buildings, adhere to the principle of "general survey while using", and make every effort to promote the investigation and rectification of potential safety hazards in housing buildings, especially commercial self-built houses.

Continue to promote the transformation of rural housing. By the end of 2021, 15,000 rural houses and 2.58 million rural dangerous houses had been rebuilt, which effectively improved the seismic performance of rural houses.

Pay close attention to wartime rescue and disaster relief to form a set of emergency mechanism

Combined with previous experience in earthquake relief, the housing and urban-rural construction system in Sichuan Province has formed a complete emergency mechanism of command and coordination, post-disaster assessment and emergency rescue based on the actual needs during the post-earthquake emergency rescue.

Strengthen command and coordination. Revise and improve the Earthquake Emergency Plan for Housing and Urban-Rural Construction System in Sichuan Province, establish a coordinated plan mechanism at the provincial, city and county levels, and build an earthquake relief headquarters for the housing and urban-rural construction system in Sichuan Province with the main leaders of the Housing and Urban-Rural Construction Department as the commander and the offices of the organs and the competent departments of housing and urban-rural construction in various cities (states) as members.

Establish a fast response evaluation mechanism. Immediately after the "8.8" Jiuzhaigou earthquake, "6.17" Changning earthquake, "9.16" Luxian earthquake and "6.1" Lushan earthquake, we organized and mobilized trade associations, appraisal institutions, quality supervision institutions and evaluation experts, assembled and went directly to the epicenter within 24 hours, and completed the emergency evaluation of tens of thousands of houses and municipal infrastructure within 96 hours, and passed the evaluation results. At present, the post-earthquake emergency assessment software is being developed and is expected to be put into use this year.

We will make every effort to improve the earthquake resistance and disaster prevention capacity of urban and rural construction and better help the high-quality development of urban and rural construction. The relevant person in charge said that he will continue to follow the important exposition and important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on disaster prevention, mitigation and relief work as the fundamental principle of earthquake prevention and relief work, always put the safety of people’s lives and property first, adhere to the bottom line thinking, make overall plans for development and safety, lay a solid foundation for earthquake prevention and prevention, make the earthquake prevention and prevention work solid, detailed and well done, effectively guarantee the safety of urban and rural housing construction and municipal engineering, and greet the party’s twentieth victory with practical actions.

Support renewable energy such as photovoltaic and wind power, and vigorously develop new energy vehicles! The Ministry of Finance issued the Opinions on Financial Support for Carbon Neutralization in

In order to implement the major decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on promoting carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions, give full play to the role of fiscal functions, and promote the goal of carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions as scheduled, the Ministry of Finance issued the Opinions on Financial Support for Doing a Good Job in Carbon Neutralization in peak carbon dioxide emissions on May 30th (hereinafter referred to as the Opinions). The Opinions support carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions from four aspects: general requirements, key directions and areas of support, fiscal policy measures and safeguard measures.


In addition, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance answered the reporter’s questions about the Opinions.



The "Opinions" pointed out that by 2025, the fiscal policy tools will be continuously enriched, and the fiscal and taxation policy framework conducive to green and low-carbon development will be initially established, which will strongly support all industries in various regions to accelerate green and low-carbon transformation.Before 2030, a fiscal and taxation policy system conducive to green and low-carbon development will be basically formed, and a long-term mechanism to promote green and low-carbon development will be gradually established to promote the smooth realization of peak carbon dioxide emissions’s goals. Before 2060, the policy system of financial support for green and low-carbon development is mature and sound, and the goal of carbon neutrality is promoted smoothly.


The Opinions call for strengthening the overall planning of financial resources, optimizing the structure of fiscal expenditure, and increasing support for carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions.Improve the market-oriented diversified investment mechanism. Study and set up a national low-carbon transformation fund to support the green transformation of traditional industries and resource-rich areas. Give full play to the guiding role of existing government investment funds, including the National Green Development Fund. Encourage social capital to set up green and low-carbon industry investment funds in a market-oriented way. Incorporate eligible green and low-carbon development projects into the scope of government bond support. Take various ways to support government and social capital cooperation (PPP) projects in the field of ecological environment, and standardize local governments’ performance of PPP projects.


The "Opinions" proposes to give play to the incentive and restraint role of tax policies.. Implement tax policies such as environmental protection tax, resource tax, consumption tax, vehicle and vessel tax, vehicle purchase tax, value-added tax and enterprise income tax; We will implement preferential tax policies such as energy saving and water saving and comprehensive utilization of resources, study and support tax policies related to carbon emission reduction, and give full play to the role of taxation in promoting the green and low-carbon development of market players. Optimize the tariff structure according to the requirements of accelerating green and low-carbon development and continuously improving environmental quality.


In the direction of key support areas, the Opinions pointed out that renewable energy such as photovoltaic, wind power and biomass energy should be supported.And the new energy with steady output replaces fossil energy. Improve support policies to encourage unconventional natural gas exploitation to increase production and quantity. Encourage qualified areas to try first, develop new energy storage and pumped storage according to local conditions, and accelerate the formation of an electric power development mechanism based on energy storage and peak shaving capacity. Strengthen energy conservation supervision of key industries and key equipment, and organize energy measurement review.


Vigorously support the development of new energy vehicles, improve the charging and replacing infrastructure support policies., steadily promote the demonstration and application of fuel cell vehicles. Promote the synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, continuously carry out comprehensive management of coal-fired boilers and industrial furnaces, expand the support scope of clean heating in winter in northern China, and encourage the use of clean energy for heating according to local conditions.


To support peak carbon dioxide emissions’s carbon-neutral work, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance said,The Ministry of Finance has comprehensively used various policies and measures such as financial fund guidance, tax adjustment and government green procurement to support the promotion of carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions., and support the development of clean energy through the following channels:


The first is to implement the financial subsidy policy for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles.The Ministry of Finance, together with relevant departments, will continue to improve the subsidy policy for the purchase of new energy vehicles, continuously raise the threshold of subsidy technology, reasonably grasp the strength and pace of subsidy standards, and promote the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry. In 2021, China’s new energy (600617) automobile sales reached 3.521 million, up 1.6 times year-on-year, ranking first in the world for seven consecutive years. At the end of 2021, the Ministry of Finance, together with relevant departments, issued a notice, comprehensively considering factors such as the development plan of the new energy vehicle industry, the market sales trend and the smooth transition of enterprises, and clarifying that the purchase subsidy policy for new energy vehicles will be terminated on December 31, 2022.


The second is to implement the subsidy policy for renewable energy power generation.Since 2006, the central government has implemented a subsidy policy for renewable energy power generation based on fixed electricity prices, and strived to promote the high-quality leap-forward development of renewable energy. By the end of 2021, the installed capacity of renewable energy power generation in China reached 1.063 billion kilowatts, including 328 million kilowatts of wind power generation, 306 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power generation and 37.98 million kilowatts of biomass power generation. In 2021, the national renewable energy generation capacity reached 2.48 trillion kWh.


The third is to encourage the exploitation and utilization of unconventional natural gas.Since shale gas was included in the scope of subsidies in 2012, domestic unconventional natural gas production has increased steadily for nine consecutive years. Since 2019, unconventional natural gas included in the scope of subsidies includes shale gas, coalbed methane and tight gas. According to the principle of "more subsidies and more subsidies in winter", unconventional natural gas subsidies are based on the results-oriented method of incremental assessment, encouraging local and enterprises to increase gas production. With the support of policies, the actual exploitation and utilization of unconventional natural gas in 2021 will account for more than one third of China’s total natural gas production, which will become an important guarantee for production.


The fourth is to promote clean heating in winter in the northern region.In recent years, the central government has allocated special funds for the prevention and control of air pollution to support the clean heating work in the northern region in winter, including 88 cities in five batches, guiding local governments to carry out clean heating renovation and energy-saving renovation of existing buildings according to local conditions, effectively reducing loose coal consumption, promoting the synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and promoting the green transformation of energy structure.

Adhere to the convergence of capital investment with policy planning and tasks, and strengthen supervision and evaluation of the completion of objectives and tasks.


Q: What measures has the Ministry of Finance taken to support carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions?


A: Under the guidance of the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought, the Ministry of Finance conscientiously implements the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, constantly innovates and improves the policy system, and comprehensively uses various policy measures such as financial fund guidance, tax adjustment and government green procurement to support the promotion of carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions. First, strengthen financial guarantee and increase support through multiple channels. In 2021, the central government will strengthen the overall planning of resources, optimize the expenditure structure, and arrange about 350 billion yuan to support green and low-carbon development. The allocation of funds will focus on the promotion and application of clean energy, low-carbon transformation in key industries, scientific and technological innovation and capacity building, and the consolidation and upgrading of carbon sink capacity, so as to improve the accuracy of capital policies. The second is to give full play to the incentive and restraint role of tax policies. On the one hand, we will implement tax policies to support environmental protection and green development. Exempt qualified new energy vehicles from vehicle purchase tax and vehicle and vessel tax to guide green and low-carbon travel; Fully implement the reform of ad valorem collection of mineral resources tax and promote the rational development of resources. On the other hand, optimize the tariff structure, reduce tariffs on some environmental products such as diesel engine filter devices, and implement zero tariffs or low tariffs on resource-based products and steel primary products to guide and promote green and low-carbon development. The third is to promote the establishment of a diversified capital investment mechanism. Through the National Green Development Fund, social capital will be driven to support the green development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and market players in the field of green development will be accelerated by financial means to better serve the green transformation of the real economy. Standardize and orderly promote the cooperation between government and social capital in the field of ecological and environmental protection(PPP), give play to the inciting role of financial funds. The fourth is to continuously improve the government’s green procurement policy. Improve the implementation mechanism of government procurement policies for energy-saving and environmentally-friendly products. Energy-saving and environmentally-friendly products that fall within the scope of the item list can enjoy the support of government compulsory procurement and priority procurement policies as long as they pass the relevant national certification. Compacting the green procurement responsibility of purchasers, promoting the application of green procurement demand standards in the fields of construction, express packaging and commodity packaging, and implementing the green procurement policy objectives. Fifth, actively participate in the governance and cooperation of global environmental climate funding mechanism. Constructively participate in the negotiation on the funding issues of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement, defend the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, safeguard the principle of voluntary capital contribution and the rights and interests of developing countries, and create an external environment conducive to achieving the goal of carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions. Strengthen the strategic guidance to the Global Environment Facility and the Green Climate Fund, and actively use the funds of international multilateral and bilateral institutions to help achieve the goal of carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions.


6. Q: What channels does the Ministry of Finance mainly support the development of clean energy? What are the next steps?


A: Supporting the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system is an important work to promote carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions. The central government attaches great importance to this and has carried out a lot of work, which has achieved remarkable results. The first is to implement the financial subsidy policy for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles. The Ministry of Finance, together with relevant departments, will continue to improve the subsidy policy for the purchase of new energy vehicles, continuously raise the threshold of subsidy technology, reasonably grasp the strength and pace of subsidy standards, and promote the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry. In 2021, the sales of new energy vehicles in China reached 3.521 million, a year-on-year increase of 1.6 times, ranking first in the world for seven consecutive years. At the end of 2021, the Ministry of Finance, together with relevant departments, issued a notice, comprehensively considering factors such as the development plan of the new energy vehicle industry, the market sales trend and the smooth transition of enterprises, and clarifying that the purchase subsidy policy for new energy vehicles will be terminated on December 31, 2022. The second is to implement the subsidy policy for renewable energy power generation. Since 2006, the central government has implemented a subsidy policy for renewable energy power generation based on fixed electricity prices, and strived to promote the high-quality leap-forward development of renewable energy. By the end of 2021, the installed capacity of renewable energy power generation in China reached 1.063 billion kilowatts, including 328 million kilowatts of wind power generation, 306 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power generation and 37.98 million kilowatts of biomass power generation. In 2021, the national renewable energy generation capacity reached 2.48 trillion kWh. The third is to encourage the exploitation and utilization of unconventional natural gas. Since shale gas was included in the scope of subsidies in 2012,Domestic unconventional natural gas production has increased steadily for nine consecutive years. Since 2019, unconventional natural gas included in the scope of subsidies includes shale gas, coalbed methane and tight gas. According to the principle of "more subsidies and more subsidies in winter", unconventional natural gas subsidies are based on the results-oriented method of incremental assessment, encouraging local and enterprises to increase gas production. With the support of policies, the actual exploitation and utilization of unconventional natural gas in 2021 will account for more than one third of China’s total natural gas production, which will become an important guarantee for production. The fourth is to promote clean heating in winter in the northern region. In recent years, the central government has allocated special funds for the prevention and control of air pollution to support the clean heating work in the northern region in winter, including 88 cities in five batches, guiding local governments to carry out clean heating renovation and energy-saving renovation of existing buildings according to local conditions, effectively reducing loose coal consumption, promoting the synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and promoting the green transformation of energy structure.


7. Q: At present, what are the main tax policies to support green and low-carbon development?


A: Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", China has formed a green tax system framework with environmental protection tax, resource tax and farmland occupation tax "multi-tax governance" and systematic tax preferential policies such as value-added tax and enterprise income tax "multi-policy combination". In the current tax system, resources tax, consumption tax, value-added tax, income tax, vehicle purchase tax and vehicle and vessel tax are closely related to ecological environment protection. The policy design not only pays attention to the incentives for ecological protection and innovative development, but also strengthens the constraints on ecological destruction and extensive development. It also actively promotes tax reduction and fee reduction, releases policy dividends, and injects strong impetus into local high-quality development. First, the consumption tax is levied on refined oil to regulate energy consumption in the transportation field. China implemented the reform of refined oil tax and fee in 2009, and then raised the unit tax of refined oil several times. The second is to set the consumption tax rate differently, reduce the car purchase tax and car and boat tax, and guide green and low-carbon travel. According to the principle of "large displacement and more negative tax, small displacement and less negative tax", the applicable tax rate of consumption tax on passenger cars and motorcycles is set; Exempt new energy vehicles from vehicle purchase tax; Travel tax shall be exempted for new energy vehicles and vessels, and halved for energy-saving vehicles. The third is to levy environmental protection tax from 2018 to reduce pollutant emissions. Four kinds of pollutants, such as air pollutants, water pollutants, solid waste and noise, are levied. The emission costs of key energy users and emitters in thermal power, steel, cement, chemical industry and other industries have increased, which has played a positive role in encouraging cleaner production and promoting energy conservation and emission reduction. Fourth, since July 2016, the reform of ad valorem taxation of mineral resources tax has been fully implemented.Promote the conservation and intensive use of resources. Fifth, implement tax incentives related to value-added tax and enterprise income tax, and guide enterprises to replace fossil energy with clean energy and renewable energy. Improve the preferential tax policies for environmental protection, energy saving and water saving, and issue the Catalogue of Preferential Enterprise Income Tax for Environmental Protection, Energy Saving and Water Saving Projects (2021 Edition); Improve the tax policy for comprehensive utilization of resources, and issue the Announcement on Improving the VAT Policy for Comprehensive Utilization of Resources and the Catalogue of Preferential Enterprise Income Tax for Comprehensive Utilization of Resources (2021 Edition).


8. Q: At present, what is the implementation of the government green procurement policy of the Ministry of Finance? What are the next considerations?


A: In recent years, the Ministry of Finance has continuously improved the government’s green procurement policy and promoted state organs, institutions and organizations to actively purchase and use green and low-carbon products. First, increase compulsory procurement and give priority to energy-saving and environmental protection products. Improve the implementation mechanism of government procurement of energy-saving and environmental protection products. Products that fall within the scope of the list of energy-saving and environmental protection government procurement items can enjoy preferential procurement policies as long as they pass the national certification. In 2020, the procurement scale of energy-saving and environmental protection products will account for more than 85% of the government procurement scale of similar products, effectively promoting the development of related industries and playing a positive leading role in social green consumption. The second is to promote the application of green buildings and green building materials. Six cities including Shaoxing were promoted to use green building materials in public buildings such as hospitals and schools, and new construction methods such as assembly and intelligence were used. The amount of projects included in the pilot reached 102.5 billion yuan. The third is to build a standard system of government green procurement demand. In conjunction with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the State Post Bureau, the demand standards for express packaging were formulated, and indicators such as heavy metal content in packaging materials were specified from three aspects: green, reduced and recyclable, so as to guide suppliers to use recycled organic and renewable packaging products. Study and formulate government procurement demand standards such as green data center and printing and copying consumables. The fourth is to support the green procurement of key products. To promote the application of new energy vehicles, it is required that confidential communication, law enforcement duty and commuting vehicles with relatively fixed routes purchase new energy vehicles in principle, and guide Hainan Province to try to purchase domestic clean energy vehicles.In the fixed-point procurement scheme of furniture, printing, automobile maintenance and other central budget units, it is clearly required to use low-volatile raw and auxiliary materials to reduce air pollution. In the next step, the Ministry of Finance will accelerate the establishment and improvement of the government procurement demand standard system for green and low-carbon products, and classify and formulate the government procurement demand standards for green buildings and green building materials; Vigorously promote the application of prefabricated buildings and green building materials to promote the improvement of building quality; Strengthen the main responsibility of purchasers, specify the requirements of green and low carbon in government procurement documents, and increase the procurement of green and low carbon products.


9. Q: How does the Ministry of Finance support the R&D and promotion of green and low-carbon technologies and basic capacity building?


A: In supporting scientific and technological innovation. First, support scientific research activities related to green and low-carbon development by supporting the organization and implementation of science and technology plans (special projects, funds, etc.) of the central government, such as supporting the implementation of key national R&D plans such as clean and efficient utilization of coal and new energy-saving technologies, renewable energy and hydrogen energy technologies, new energy vehicles, green buildings and building industrialization, and nuclear safety and advanced nuclear energy technologies during the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, so as to upgrade the technologies supporting green and low-carbon development. From 2021, we will support the layout of key projects of the national key R&D plan "Earth System and Global Change (Research and Demonstration of Key Technologies of Carbon Neutralization in peak carbon dioxide emissions)". Second, provide stable support to relevant central scientific research institutes and state key laboratories in the field of green and low-carbon development, support them to improve the basic conditions of scientific research, and independently carry out research. Relevant units can independently carry out research related to green and low-carbon development around the national strategic deployment and the requirements of industry departments. In supporting basic capacity building. Mainly through the budget of relevant departments to support relevant departments to strengthen environmental quality monitoring, environmental monitoring and law enforcement, natural resources management, natural ecological protection and other key work, strengthen the construction of carbon emission statistical accounting and supervision system, carry out carbon monitoring and evaluation pilot, carbon emission statistical accounting and analysis, and at the same time strengthen the basic theory, basic methods and realization path research of carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions.


10. Q: What funds does the Ministry of Finance mainly use to support the consolidation and upgrading of carbon sink capacity, and what is the effect?


A: The central government supports the enhancement of ecological carbon sink capacity of forests, grasslands, wetlands and oceans through central-local transfer payments. First, through key ecological protection and restoration funds, support the integrated protection and restoration project of mountains, rivers, fields, lakes, grass and sand, implement the demonstration project of ecological restoration of abandoned mines left over from history, promote the comprehensive management, systematic management and source management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields and lakes, effectively promote ecological restoration, improve the ecosystem quality of the core areas of key ecological areas such as Qilian Mountain (600720), Loess Plateau and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River as a whole, and expand the ecological space. Second, through the transfer of funds from forestry and grassland, we will further promote large-scale land greening actions, comprehensively protect natural forests, consolidate the achievements of returning farmland to forests and grasslands, support forest resources management and protection and prevention of forest and grassland fires, strengthen grassland ecological restoration and management, and strengthen wetland protection and restoration. China’s forest coverage rate has increased to 23.04%, grassland comprehensive vegetation coverage rate has reached 56.1%, and wetland protection rate has reached 52%. The prevention and control of desertification land has become a global model. Third, through the marine ecological protection and restoration funds, we will promote the "Blue Bay" rectification action, mangrove protection and restoration, and coastal protection and restoration projects as a whole, and enhance the carbon fixation capacity of mangroves, seagrass beds, and Dunaliella salina. Fourth, through agricultural resources and ecological protection subsidy funds, we will implement the third round of grassland ecological protection subsidy and reward policies, accelerate the transformation of the development mode of grass and animal husbandry, promote the steady recovery of grassland ecological environment, promote the protection and utilization of black land in Northeast China, and carry out green planting and recycling agriculture pilot.Promote the comprehensive utilization of crop straw.

  Its harm is far greater than we expected.

  On the one hand, all kinds of advertising information without nutrition are overwhelming, which "bombs" our mobile phones in turn, seriously disturbing users’ lives. Some users can receive dozens or even hundreds of spam messages a day, which is really annoying. They can only download special shielding software or simply turn off their mobile phones.

  On the other hand, these junk messages and phone calls are like "cockroaches" in the information age, which are difficult to eradicate and are a headache.

  Want to get some peace by unsubscribing?

  Things are far from simple as you think.

  The "thousand-layer routine" here is unpredictable.

Unsubscribe from. png

  Although in general, SMS will set an unsubscribe prompt, such as "Reply ‘ TD’ Or ‘ T’ You can unsubscribe, but most of the time, no matter what the user replies, the advertisement is still issued correctly. The so-called reply unsubscribe is just a decoration.

  If the harassment of life by spam and telephone calls is only at the entry level, we can also ignore it, and many fraud and criminal short messages mixed with various kinds of information are more hidden and dangerous.

  Generally speaking, spam that constitutes fraud falls into two categories:One is to use "pseudo base station" to disguise the number as information from official numbers such as banks and operators, which often contains links to embedded Trojan horses and other systems. When users open this connection, their own information is attacked and stolen, thus causing users’ property losses. This kind of junk information is often disguised as recharge or point redemption to lure users to click.

  The other is junk information with false content information.This kind of information often does not contain phishing links, but its information content itself is confusing. This kind of information often involves recruitment or investment information, and seeks illegal benefits by luring users to participate in recruitment or investment.

  For example, in August this year, the Intermediate People’s Court of Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province sentenced a serious online fraud case. Criminal suspects cheat all over the country by publishing false recruitment information of part-time employees in Tik Tok and collecting part-time membership fees. The amount of fraud reached 316 million, with nearly 2 million victims.

  The above examples are just the tip of the iceberg of online fraud cases caused by false information on the Internet, but in China, this form of fraud causes great economic and social harm every year.

  According to the data of the Ministry of Public Security, as of November 2019, 118,000 cases of telecommunication network fraud were cracked nationwide, up 62.7% year-on-year; 99,000 suspects were arrested, up 135.6% year-on-year. Because of the low cost and wide spread of crime, online fraud with false information and information as the carrier has become a major social cancer that must be severely cracked down in today’s society.

  This also makes it more necessary for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to strike hard.

  The world has suffered for a long time, but why is it always forbidden?

  In fact, the 12321 website that can report spam has already been established, but this kind of chaos has always existed. The main reasons are as follows.

12321.png

  One is the silence of some audiences.

  Faced with the harassment of spam and telephone calls, many audiences choose to make peace, endure harassment silently, or use software to block keywords. This connived at the further development of chaos to a certain extent.

  Second, the illegal cost is too low.

  Even if the audience can’t bear to choose to report and succeed, the most serious punishment for waiting for the spam manufacturer is that the company is cancelled. All the company owners need to change their names and surnames and re-register to return to their old jobs.

  Third, the use of SMS is convenient and there is no threshold.

  Because the sender of short messages does not need to establish a friend relationship with the receiver, they can send them as long as they have the number, which provides great convenience for the wide use of short messages.

  However, the binding of various banking and social security information can only be notified by SMS, which provides a broad use space for SMS. The binding with similar institutions also provides some deception for false information.

  Design should be able to test the determination and wisdom of law enforcers.

  After the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the relevant opinion draft,

  There was a heated discussion on the Internet.

  Some people spit out the life that is plagued by spam.

  Some people also called for the relevant regulations to land as soon as possible.

  As can be seen from the comments of netizens,

  The treatment of spam has reached the moment when we must strike hard.

  But it should be noted that

  Is the system design reasonable and rigorous?

  It is only a condition for achieving results.

  How to completely cut off the whole interest chain?

  Only by thoroughly disintegrating the interest soil where junk information breeds.

  The chaos of spam flooding can be effectively cured.

Qiangdi: a popular musical instrument that Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was chanting at his deathbed.

  Editor’s note:Qiangdi is one of the most common images in Tang poetry, and it is also an important cultural symbol of the communication and integration of all ethnic groups in history. Ma Rong wrote in Flute Fu: "In modern times, the double flute started from Qiang, but the Qiang people did not cut bamboo"; Wang Zhihuan’s "Liangzhou Ci": "Why should the Qiangdi blame the willow, the spring breeze does not pass Yumenguan". The ethnic memory and cultural tradition of Qiangdi are deeply engraved in the cultural history of the Chinese nation. It is a musical instrument for rejoicing and rejuvenating, and it is also a witness of ethnic blending.

  ▲ Qiang flute playing. Qiangdi is an ancient single-reed musical instrument in China. Legend has it that it was invented by Qiang people who wandered in the northwest plateau during the Qin and Han Dynasties, and it has a history of more than 2,000 years. Today, the Qiang flute, which is popular in the Qiang people’s residential area of Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in northern Sichuan, is mainly used for solo. There are more than ten ancient tunes with a wide range of music contents, which mainly convey the yearning of the Qiang people. On May 20th, 2006, the performance and production skills of Qiangdi were approved by the State Council and included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. (Source: Tencent)

  How popular was Qiangdi in the Tang Dynasty? Ye Tingxuan’s "Sea Records Broken Things" records that Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, and specially instructed the courtiers to give the purple Yu Di that they often played to Daizong. Lu Zhao’s "Yi Shi" said that people in Yuezhou (Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province) paid a lot of money to hire Li Mo, the first flute player, to play from Chang ‘an, the capital of the capital. After Li Mo arrived in Yuezhou, it caused a sensation, and local prominent people paid a lot of money to listen to him play the flute. Li Qi’s Ancient Meaning, Li Bai’s Listening to Han Shi’s Imperial Flute in Jinling, Du Fu’s Boating in the West of the City, Cen Can’s a Song of White Snow in Farewell to Field-Clerk Wu Going Home, etc., often write stories about the Tang people’s pleasure in the Qiang flute, so that Mr. Lin Geng praised the Tang poetry in the article "The vitality and new essence of poetry" that "as long as you meet the flute, it seems that you will never become a good sentence". It can be seen that Qiangdi is popular with the Tang people.

  ▲ Eastern Han pottery flute figurines. In Han Dynasty, the distinction between flute and Xiao was not obvious. Xiao was called "Shu", also known as "vertical Shu". It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the flute with six holes and bamboo film began to appear, and the flute was officially separated. Today, our common saying "playing flute horizontally and flute vertically" began in the Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty’s "Zhu Xi’s Quotations" also recorded: "The person who plays the flute today is the ancient flute, but the flute is the ancient flute." (Source: Chengdu Museum)

  Qiangdi was popular in the Tang Dynasty, but it was not introduced into the hinterland of the Central Plains in the Tang Dynasty. When Qiangdi was introduced into the Central Plains is unknown in history. However, Ma Rong’s "Flute Fu" said that Qiu Zhong in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew the source of the flute, and quoted him as saying that "the modern double flute started from Qiang". In addition, Ying Shao’s Custom Tongyi and Xu Shen’s Shuowen Jiezi mentioned Qiangdi, Song Shu said that there was a record of Zheng Di in the Han Dynasty, and the Book of the Later Han Dynasty recorded that Emperor Ling of Han was fond of Hu Di, which was followed by nobles. It can be seen that Qiangdi should be introduced into the Central Plains in the Han Dynasty. It may have been introduced when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up Longyou and the Western Regions. These two places are the main settlements of the Qiang people. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened Longyou and the Western Regions, a large number of exotic foreign bodies such as wine, bloody BMW, and the illusion of Manyan fish and dragons began to flood into the hinterland of the Central Plains. As a treasure of Qiang culture, Qiang flute was probably introduced to the Central Plains at this time.

  ▲ Picture brick of Maruko Banquet Dance in Han Dynasty, unearthed in Anren, Dayi in 1972, collected in Sichuan Museum.

  After the Qiang flute was introduced into the Central Plains, it was transformed by musicians, and its shape changed from three holes to four holes, five holes, six holes, seven holes, and so on. The materials and lengths of the flute tubes were varied. People also call it the flute, the flute, the Yu Di, the twelve-rhythm flute, the transverse flute, etc. Only Chen Yang’s Le Shu records 17 different flute names. At the same time, the Qiang flute has become the tradition of China flute. Although there are many opinions about the origin of China’s flute in academic circles, up to now, the article "Qiangdi" in Duan Yucai’s Notes on Shuowen Jiezi says that "both flute and Qiangdi originated from Qiang, and Han Qiuzhong did it because Qiang people cut bamboo, so it is still reliable". Poets in the Han and Tang Dynasties often mix the flute with the Qiang flute, such as Li Bai’s "Smelling the Flute in Qingxi at Midnight" and Gao Shi’s "Listening to the Flute on the Plug", etc., with the title of writing the flute, but actually chanting the Qiang flute; Lu Yanji notes that "the flute starts in Qiang" in the Northern Expedition of General Yong Huo. Duan An Festival’s Yuefu Miscellany says: "The flute player is also a strong musician". In the Tang Dynasty, an anonymous writer, Di Fu, said that the flute "Jue Cao originated from the Qiang head". Therefore, we have reason to believe that Qiangdi is the source of China’s flute, and the flute mentioned by poets in Han and Tang Dynasties is Qiangdi.

  The change of shape has enhanced the expressive force of Qiangdi and rapidly promoted its musical status. As early as the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Qiangdi became a harmonious musical instrument for temples and banquets. The Book of Jin said: "On the banquet hall, there is a bell hanging without a box, and the flute has a certain tune, so all the string songs are correct from the flute." Qiangdi was widely used by Wei Jin people for "miscellaneous quotation, harmony of various songs", gradually entered the daily life of literati, became their entertainment program, and also became an important theme of their creation, resulting in many masterpieces such as Ma Rong’s Flute Fu, Li You’s Ming of Flute, Cao Pi’s Good Deeds and so on. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, poets wrote the Qiang flute into frontier poems, such as Dai Hao’s "Join the Army", "The Qiang flute hisses in the pipe" and Zhang Zhengjian’s "Longtoushui", and the Qiang flute has become a cultural symbol for poets to show their customs beyond the Great Wall.

  In the Tang Dynasty, people’s love for Qiangdi was unprecedented. There are four main reasons:

  First, the pithy and moving flute sound. In the Tang Dynasty, the Qiang flute was mainly composed of five holes and seven holes. The article "flute" in Tongdian Lesi says: "Today, the flute is used to snap. Those who add it are called righteous flutes. " Chen Yun’s "Le Shu" recorded the meaning of the flute as follows:

  And in the picture, it is explained that "the righteous flute is like a horizontal flute, and it is added, and the west beam is also happy." Tang Dynasty’s "The Flute Sounds Like a Long Yin Fu" said that the flute "has four holes and five tones". It can be seen that there were indeed five-hole Qiang flutes in the Tang Dynasty. Shan Li’s annotation of Flute Fu said: "Flute has seven holes. One foot four inches long. Today’s flute is also. " It can be seen that the seven-hole Qiangdi also spread to the Tang Dynasty. The number of holes and the length of flutes of these two kinds of Qiangdi exceed the original three-hole Qiangdi, and their expressive force is more prominent, which can blow out a variety of pithy and moving flutes.

  For example, the voice of Qingyue Yifa. Li Zhao’s Supplement to the History of the Tang Dynasty said: "Li Zhou did a good thing, tasted the smoke and bamboo in the village, cut it off as a flute, and it was as hard as stone to leave Li Mou. The flute is the best in the world, and the river is flooded on a moonlit night. The Weizhou blows it, and Liao Liang escapes and goes to Yun Biao. " Lu Zhao’s "Yi Shi" records that Yuezhou literati praised Li Mo’s flute as "it is better to be happy in the sky than in the sky". The words "Liao Liang’s Qing Yue", "Liao Liang’s Yi Fa" and "Jun Tian’s Joy" indicate that Qiangdi can emit the general Yi Yun of Yue Xian. The royal family in Li Tang worships Laozi as the ancestor, worships Taoism, and cultivates Taoist aesthetic psychology with nothingness, indifference and adaptability as its beauty. This kind of escape rhyme of Qiangdi is in line with the aesthetic standards formed by the Tang people based on Taoist philosophy, thus winning their favor.

  For example, the sound of weeping and resentment. Hu Zhenheng’s "Tang Yin Gui Qian" said: "Xuanzong was lucky in Shu and went to Luogu, which was called Gao Lishi: ‘ I don’t need Zhang Jiuling’s words, so far. ’ Play a tune on the flute and shed tears. Later, the company recorded it into music, and asked for the title of the song, saying: ‘ Because I think about nine years old, I can call this song "Death of Immortal Hatred". ’ Its sound is bitter, and all the songs are Moby. " Li Bai’s "Watching Hu People Play the Flute": "Hu people play Yu Di, half of which is Qin sound. In October, Wu Shanxiao, plum blossoms fall into the pavilion. When I smell the saiqu, I am full of tears. But I look at Chang’ an Road and miss the main feelings. " Whether it is a high-ranking official, even the supreme Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, or Wang Changling, Li Bai, Du Fu and other literati, as well as ordinary people, they are inevitably frustrated in their lives. The wailing sound of Qiangdi often becomes a good medicine to heal their broken hearts, so they generally like Qiangdi.

  For example, the sound of joy is sparse. Wang Wei’s "Liangzhou Competition God" wrote that the athletes outside Liangzhou played the rushing and joyful Qiang flute to enhance the atmosphere of the game; Li Bai’s "Leave a gift to Cui Xuancheng after the chaos" said that Cui Qin often sat on the Hu bed and played the purple Yu Di to entertain him, and the flute resounded through the sky, making him extremely happy and entertaining. Cen Can’s "a Song of White Snow in Farewell to Field-Clerk Wu Going Home" and "but we drink to our guest bound home from camp, and play him barbarian lutes, guitars, harps" convey the rapid and cheerful sound of the Qiang flute. It can be seen that the joyful and bright sound of Qiang flute is also an indispensable program for Tang people to feast and entertain.

The picture depicts a group of women in the palace feasting and having fun around the console table, and the women are playing and drinking happily. (Image from the Internet)

  Second, rich and touching flute music. Hu Zhenheng’s Tangyin Guiqian said that the repertoire of Qiangdi was "the same as that of those who played the flute, flute and flute." There are more than forty songs, such as hentai and Happy Tree. See the Prelude ". In addition to these ancient songs, the Tang people also created many touching flute songs, such as "Death of Immortal Complaints", "Alandui", "Litchi Songs" and "Six Weeks". The expressive Qiang flute plays these heart-warming flute tunes, and when the Tang people listen to them, they are often "full of salt and shock, and the doubt is suddenly in the field." When you are sad and clear, you will forget your worries; Imagine that things are like clouds, which makes them linger and put it down.

  Third, powerful people love Qiangdi. The royal family of Li Tang is imbued with the blood of the northern minorities, and pursues the ethnic policy of Hu Han’s family. They have an open and inclusive attitude towards foreign bodies. Especially between Kaiyuan and Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty knew the melody and loved the Qiang flute. He was not only good at playing the Qiang flute, but also knew the flute rhythm and created many touching flute music. Under their influence, nobles, nobles, citizens and ordinary people generally like Qiangdi. For example, Wei Chiluo’s "The Story of China and North Korea" said: "There are many birds in Mount Li, and it is called Alandui. The Ming emperor imperial Yu Di, adopted its voice and translated it into a song, which was sung by both sides. It is broadcast far and near, and people compete to play with the flute effect. " "Tai Ping Guang Ji" records that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty especially liked Hu Xiao, a disciple of Liyuan who was good at playing the Qiang flute. Hu Xiao was arrested for committing a crime, and Tang Xuanzong specially ordered him to be released. As the saying goes, it is necessary to be good in the world. Driven by the powerful people represented by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Qiangdi attracted the attention of the Tang people, and its prosperity was unprecedented.

The existing copy of the Song Dynasty and the silk version are colored, and are now in the Palace Museum in Beijing. The above picture shows the ensemble of wind music. In the picture, five musicians sit in a row horizontally, each with its own dynamics. Although they are in the same row, there is no sense of stagnation. (Image from the Internet)

  Fourth, the promotion of teaching workshop institutions. Cui Lingqin’s "Jiaofang Ji" records that both Xijing Chang ‘an and Tokyo Luoyang set up special music institutions in the Tang Dynasty — — Jiaofang The teaching workshop is divided into two parts: left and right. According to the textual research of Ren Bantang’s Notes on Jiaofang, "In addition to the left and right Jiaofang in Xijing, there are also Jiaofang in Zhannei, which belongs to the Propaganda Department and is in Xuanping Square". Handsome civilians can be selected to teach songs and dances, musical instruments and so on. Qiangdi is one of the courses in Jiaofang. The teaching workshops in the Tang Dynasty were very large in scale. Although they were not all responsible for practicing Qiangdi, there should be a large number of them. People in the Tang Dynasty lived in Chang ‘an, and at night they often heard musicians practicing their flutes. For example, Wang Shu’s "Tang Yu Lin" said, "Wang Zhen is too often Qing. Early in the morning, I heard the people in Yongxing playing the flute and asked: ‘ Are you too happy? ’ Yue: ‘ However ’ " . It is self-evident that the establishment of Jiaofang has played an important role in the spread of Qiangdi. What’s more, the musicians in the workshop can take time to perform outside the workshop, such as Li Mo playing flute in Yuezhou and Guazhou, which is more conducive to the spread of Qiangdi. After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the musicians in Jiaofang were either taken to the north or wandered around, and the Qiang flute spread all over the Central Plains with their footsteps.

  ▲ Tang Tri-colored Camels carrying musical figurines were unearthed in the Tang Tomb of Zhongbao Village in the western suburbs of Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province in 1959, and are now in the Shaanxi History Museum. In the picture, seven male musical figures are holding sheng, pipa, flute, clapper, harp, flute and Xiao respectively, with a woman singing and dancing in the middle. The figurine is novel in shape and lifelike in image, and is known as the masterpiece of tri-colored figurines in Tang Dynasty. (Source: Xinhua News Agency)

  To sum up, the change of shape has given Qiangdi a stronger expressive force, making it have a bright and pithy sound quality, and playing many refreshing, sad and glamorous flute music; In addition, the powerful and noble people loved the Qiangdi and the promotion of teaching workshops. Qiangdi successfully captured the favor of the Tang people and was deeply embedded in their daily life and spiritual world. Literati engaged in literary activities by appreciating, hearing and writing Qiangdi, which was very active in the Tang Dynasty. The reaction of literature has accelerated the spread of Qiangdi. In the end, Qiangdi became one of the best popular musical instruments in the Tang Dynasty and successfully integrated into the splendid cultural river of the Tang Dynasty.

Plague in the eyes of science fiction writers | Interview with Wang Jinkang

    Text/Shanghai Pudong New Area Science Fiction Association

  When it comes to domestic novels related to plague, the first thing that comes to my mind is Wang Jinkang, his Cross.

  Then, considering the friends outside the science fiction circle, I think we should introduce these science fiction writers, including themselves (gossip), their works, achievements and comments, and then their views on the plague. (Friends who are familiar with the science fiction circle can directly fast-forward to the back, and don’t spray if you don’t like it.)

Wang Jinkang

 

  Famous question and answer

  1. What do science fiction writers think of the plague?

  A: Diseases, including infectious diseases, are unavoidable sufferings of human beings. No matter how advanced medicine is, human beings have to accompany it forever. We can only minimize the sacrifice on this premise. For example, the virus that exists in the wild animal population, we can completely ban game, but as long as the virus exists, it will infect people sooner or later. As the footprint of human beings becomes wider and wider, this prospect is inevitable. What we can do is to be prepared and respond as soon as possible in the event of an epidemic.

  2. Apart from the negative impact of the plague on human society, what other promoting effects are there?

  Answer: It can’t be said that it can’t be avoided, so human beings can only choose to face it, which correspondingly promotes the progress of medicine. Just like the war in human society, although disgusting, it is inevitable, at least in the foreseeable historical stage, so all countries have to develop killing weapons against their will-in this helpless process, it also promotes the development of science and technology.

  3. What kind of plague will be in the future, and how will human beings fight at that time? Have you ever imagined this?

  A: Pathogens, especially viruses, have very simple structures and are easy to mutate, especially in modern society where people, livestock and wild animals have more and more frequent contacts. Therefore, the emergence of new pathogens including new viruses is inevitable. Among them, viruses and fungi that are more difficult to deal with (because they have no specific drugs except targeted vaccines and rely more on the patient’s own immunity) are easier to deal with in the long run. On the contrary, those germs that can be effectively killed with antibiotics will quickly evolve into drug-resistant strains, which is more difficult to deal with.

  4. What is the most worrying plague in the eyes of science fiction writers?

  A: This goes back to the juvenile meditation I mentioned at the beginning: Although there were vicious diseases such as smallpox and the Black Death in human history and the medicine at that time was very underdeveloped, why didn’t human beings become extinct? This is because human beings have evolved a powerful immune system, which is equal in strength in the struggle against diseases, and each has its own outcome. That is to say, it is unlikely that a pathogen can suddenly appear in nature, except for man-made pathogens, because it is beyond this balanced system and beyond the ability of human immune system.

  5. What was the background of the medical science fiction novel Cross?

  A: I’m interested in medical subjects, and I’ve written many science fiction novels on medical subjects. In fact, these works originated from a childhood fantasy of mine: as we all know, generally speaking, vicious pathogens are not contagious and easily contagious pathogens are relatively mild, but if a vicious and highly contagious pathogen suddenly evolves in nature, will it cause human extinction? It was this childhood meditation that triggered my concern about pathogens.

  Brief introduction of the writer

  Wang Jinkang, male, born in Nanyang, Henan Province in 1948, is a senior engineer, a member of the Chinese Writers Association, a member of the Chinese Popular Science Writers Association and a member of the Science and Literature Committee, and a member of the Henan Writers Association. Up to now, nearly 100 science fiction novels have been published, including more than 10 novels, accounting for more than 5 million words. He has won the Yinhe Award and the Global Chinese Science Fiction Xingyun Award for Lifetime Achievement issued by the 97 International Science Fiction Conference, and has won the Global Chinese Science Fiction Xingyun Award and Yinhe Award for many times.

  His works include Humanoid, Ant Born, Stay with Me, Escape from Mother Universe, Heavenly Father and Mother Earth, Selected Science Fictions of Wang Jinkang (four volumes) and so on. His works are gloomy and desolate, dignified and atmospheric, full of strong humanistic care, which not only integrates rich science fiction knowledge, but also contains philosophical views on the universe and life, and is deeply loved by readers. Its language is elegant and fluent, its structure is exquisite, its conception is ingenious, and it is good at setting suspense. The works are highly readable and are the perfect combination of serious literature and popular literature.

  Well, the following is gossip.

  Besides the above contents about science fiction, he is also party member of China Democratic League, a senior engineer and academic leader. Teacher Wang Jinkang graduated from high school in 1966. In 1968, he spent three years as an educated youth in Wulong Commune in Xinye, Henan Province (when I heard Xinye, I turned to Liu Guanzhang in the Three Kingdoms). In 1971, he worked as a woodcutter in an iron mine, and in 1974, he was transferred to a diesel engine factory (a typical character in Ordinary World, I really want to see the photos of Mr. Wang when he was young, and he should be a tall, handsome and gentle handsome guy). In 1978, Wang Jinkang was admitted to the Department of Power II of Xi ‘an Jiaotong University (in the winter of 1977, 5.7 million candidates from China entered the college entrance examination room that had been closed for more than ten years. In that year, the national colleges and universities admitted 273,000 freshmen; In 1978, 6.1 million people applied for the exam and 420,000 people were admitted. ), after graduating in 1982, he joined the Second Petroleum Machinery Group, and served as the deputy director and senior engineer of the research institute of the group. As an academic leader, he presided over national major projects and led scientific researchers to successfully develop desert workover rig chassis and large workover rig self-propelled chassis, and won ministerial-level scientific and technological progress award.

  Mr. Wang entered the science fiction circle by accident (who didn’t). In 1993, at the age of 45, he wrote his first novel "Adam’s Return" because his 10-year-old son wanted to hear stories, which was published in the fifth issue of Science Fiction World in 1993, and won the first prize of the national science fiction essay that year.

  Many of Wang Jinkang’s works are based on the latest scientific discoveries, especially biology. He divided the creatures in nature in the vast universe into several levels: microorganisms, plants and animals. Humans are the role of "God" to bees and ants; Higher wisdom is another kind of "God" for human beings. He believes that no matter microorganisms, animals and plants, even ants and bees that we seldom pay attention to, they have formed a stable population on this blue planet. In these populations, the individual’s behavior is insignificant, but the intelligence of the group is amazing. Nature keeps these populations alive and well, and the survival of the fittest is the basic mechanism to continue the evolution of genes and organisms. From this point of view, human diseases are actually testing and exercising the race. If excessive epidemic prevention measures are taken, in the long run, human genes may be degraded, which is not conducive to the continuation of the population. Existence is reasonable, and mutual restraint conforms to the dialectics of biological cruelty. Human beings should maintain the balance of nature and live in harmony with nature, instead of trying to transform nature with brute force.

  Ok, then this is the Cross.

  Introduction of works

  Cross was published in January 2009, produced by Science Fiction World Publishing House and published by Chongqing Publishing House. In May 2015, Jiangsu Phoenix Literature and Art Publishing House republished this book under the name of "Level 4 Panic", which was well received.

  "God only cares about the group but not the individual. This is where God loves." “

  Terrorists belonging to the Cross stole smallpox virus that had been conquered by human beings and kept in P4 laboratory, and made biological weapons intended to exterminate human beings through gene cultivation.

  Ten years later, terrorists disguised as Indians spread viruses in the United States, and even hijacked 76 children. By means of negotiation, they actually infected those children with smallpox virus, treated the children as "poisonous people" and released the plague, and launched a bioterrorism attack against the United States. The attack caused more than 100,000 people to be infected, including more than 30,000 confirmed cases.

  More than ten years later, an advertising company personnel drove three airships to distribute paper flowers leaflets over Tokyo, and the super virus spread all over the city with paper flowers, infecting at least one million people. The whole of Tokyo is in a state of extreme panic.

  Mei Yin, a Chinese scientist, had almost gone astray and was caught in the trap of the Cross, but finally the good fighting in human nature prevailed over the cult brainwashing. She developed a method to put the inactivated vaccine directly into the air through aerosol, which saved the level 4 virus panic in Tokyo.

  The community of human destiny, in the face of the common enemy virus of mankind, seems to have a profound meaning. This is the future of all mankind.

  Recommended words:

  The combination of humanitarianism and scientific thought has profound social and practical significance, subverting the existing values and morality in imagination, emotion, horror and suspense, and is full of ultimate concern for the future of mankind, which makes people feel excited and excited.

  -famous science fiction writer Han Song

  This book is the pinnacle of philosophical science fiction. The rigorous and informative technical core and the tortuous and shocking story complement each other, showing the charm of science fiction. Close this book, you already have a pair of philosophers’ deep eyes, and rediscover the long-lost awe of nature. As a whole, mankind is the real hero in the book. When the net of punishment with the shadow of death is slowly descending, the arrogant child is still completely ignorant. The sword hidden in the cross is shining with cold light. If you don’t want to wake up too late, read this book.

  -the famous science fiction writer Liu Cixin.

  There are both concerns about social reality and thoughts about the future of science and technology. The plot is tortuous, and there is no lack of original ideas, which is another masterpiece after Wang Jinkang’s Ant Life.

  -Yao Haijun, editor-in-chief of Science Fiction World

 

 

  Finally, thank you, Teacher Wang Jinkang ~
