From February 15th next year in Beijing, vehicles in China I and II will be restricted within the Fifth Ring Road on weekdays.

  BEIJING, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) According to the official website of Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau, the latest revised Emergency Plan for Heavy Air Pollution in Beijing was released today and will be implemented from December 15, 2016. After that, when the orange and red air pollution were warned, light gasoline vehicles with national I and II emission standards were banned in the whole city.

  At the same time, the road working day restriction policy within the Fifth Ring Road (excluding) of China I II emission standard light gasoline vehicles was released, and the government subsidy policy for scrapping China I II light gasoline vehicles in advance and the preferential loan products for related banks were introduced. This restriction policy will be implemented on February 15, 2017.

  The revised Emergency Plan for Heavy Air Pollution in Beijing will be implemented from December 15th, 2016.

  In 2012, Beijing issued and implemented the emergency plan for heavy air pollution for the first time, and revised the emergency plan according to the problems reflected in the implementation. Mainly in four aspects:

  The first is to unify the early warning grading standards.According to the requirements of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei unified the early warning grading standards, taking into account the factors of high concentration of pollutants in a single day. The starting conditions of the early warning are as follows: the blue early warning is to predict that there will be one day of heavy pollution in the future; Yellow indicates that severe pollution is predicted for two consecutive days or more; Orange is the forecast of serious pollution for three consecutive days, of which one day will reach serious pollution; The red warning is to predict serious pollution for 4 consecutive days or more, of which 2 days will reach serious pollution; Or when the single-day air quality index (AQI) reaches 500, a red warning should also be started.

  Second, the vehicle pollution reduction efforts have been strengthened.In accordance with the principle of giving priority to the reduction of highly polluting vehicles, when the orange warning is issued, emergency measures will be taken to ban gasoline vehicles and construction waste, muck and gravel transport vehicles with national I and II emission standards in the city; The red warning is based on the orange warning, and other vehicles in the city are driving with single and even numbers (except pure electric vehicles).

  The third is to adopt differentiated emergency measures.Considering the regional air quality differences, school teaching conditions, and many factors such as parental care and teaching arrangements involved in student suspension, the unified suspension measures will be adjusted to the protective measures of flexible teaching or suspension by the municipal and district education authorities according to the actual situation of the territory.

  The fourth is to refine the measures to stop production and shutdown according to local conditions.With the goal of pollution reduction, according to the idea of "positive list and negative process", the emergency measures of industrial enterprises will be more refined and targeted. Refine the overall production stoppage of enterprises in the catalogue of production stoppage to the production stoppage of processes with air pollution discharge, and other non-polluting processes can be produced normally; Make a list of enterprises and construction projects to ensure the normal operation of the city, and produce in an orderly manner on the premise of meeting the discharge standards during early warning, so as to minimize the impact of early warning of heavy pollution on social production and life.

  The working day restriction policy in the Fifth Ring Road of China I and II light gasoline vehicles will be implemented from February 15, 2017.

  From February 15, 2017, Beijing will implement the road working day restriction within the Fifth Ring Road (excluding) for light gasoline vehicles with national I and II emission standards in this city and other places. For motor vehicles that violate the regulations and drive on roads in restricted areas, the traffic administrative department of the public security shall, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, impose a fine on 100 yuan, which shall be calculated and punished once every 4 hours.

  In addition, when the old and new policies cross, government subsidies will be high or low. In order to encourage car owners to replace and eliminate old cars with high pollution emissions, the government has introduced a subsidy policy to encourage the elimination, and at the same time guided banks to launch preferential loan products for car purchase. Beijing’s current "Renewal Plan for Further Promoting the Elimination of Old Motor Vehicles (2015-2016)" will expire at the end of 2016. In order to encourage car owners to get rid of old cars as soon as possible, this time, the "Beijing Plan for Promoting the Elimination and Renewal of Old Motor Vehicles with High Emission Pollution" was launched. From December 1, 2016 to the end of 2017, light gasoline vehicles with emission standards of country I and country II will be scrapped. Government subsidies can be obtained.

  Among them, the elimination before the end of June 2017 is 2000 yuan more than the elimination from July to the end of December 2017. Car owners can apply for government subsidies through the third-party trading platform "Beijing Environment Exchange". In addition, Beijing has organized and guided commercial banks to provide preferential loan products for car owners who have eliminated light gasoline vehicles with national I and II emission standards, and will start processing them on December 1, 2016.

  Extended reading:

  "Four steps" to distinguish whether the vehicle is a country I or a country II vehicle.

  First of all, "counting time" can be distinguished according to the vehicle registration date marked on your driving book. Cars bought after June 30, 2006 in this city are not national I and II cars.

  The second is "counting the stars", which means looking at the environmental protection signs issued by the annual inspection of motor vehicles. If there is no green sign of a star, a star or two stars, it is a country I and a country II car.

  The third is "looking at materials", according to the vehicle emission standards marked by materials such as the vehicle factory certificate issued by the automobile manufacturer when buying a new car.

  Fourth, "seeking help", you can log on to the "Motor Vehicle Emission Standard Inquiry" column of the website of Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau; Or directly call the "12369" Beijing environmental complaint reporting consultation telephone, and ask the staff to help you directly inquire.

  editorial comment/note

  Intelligent robot, autonomous driving, AI creation, speech recognition … … At present, the application of artificial intelligence is more and more extensive, which also produces a series of legal problems, and has not yet reached a broad consensus. Technology is a double-edged sword, and artificial intelligence technology is no exception. This issue of the special edition of the rule of law issues three expert articles to discuss how to respond to the development and application of artificial intelligence from jurisprudence and law, so that artificial intelligence can develop healthily under the legal norms and benefit mankind.

  The emergence and wide application of intelligent robots is undoubtedly a major event in the 21st century, which will not only cause new industrial revolution and social change, but also subvert many traditional social structures and human concepts. As early as 1942, isaac asimov, a famous science fiction writer, put forward the famous three principles of robots in his science fiction "Dance Around": first, no harm to human beings; Second, obey human orders; Third, protect yourself as much as possible. The author thinks that this is not only a basic principle that should be followed in robot design, but also a principle that must be fully considered in robot legislation. Facing the rapid development of modern science and technology represented by artificial intelligence, human beings must pay close attention to the great impact of technology on social relations and social concepts, and at the same time make full use of the guiding, regulating and promoting functions of law to realize the benign interaction between law and technological progress.

  Using a good legal system to promote the development of science and technology

  Law not only undertakes the functions of behavior regulation, conflict resolution, social control and public management, but also has the mission of promoting social development and guiding social life. A good robot legal system should be a social wealth creation method that can fully mobilize the creative enthusiasm of social subjects and promote social and economic development, and a market economy catalytic method that can build a convenient conversion channel between invention creation and wealth creation.

  Therefore, on the one hand, we should apply good institutional design to meet the objective requirements of robot development, actively use robots to liberate people’s functions, realize people’s all-round development, and actively improve the relationship between people and nature and between people and society. On the other hand, we should give full play to the value leading function of law to scientific research. From the development experience, not all technological achievements can benefit mankind. Therefore, not all scientific activities will be encouraged by law (such as human cloning technology and head-changing technology, etc.). While fully affirming the great convenience that artificial intelligence has brought to the liberation of human productive forces, we must also attach great importance to the subversive influence of artificial intelligence on traditional social institutions, social relations and human relations, and strictly delimit the forbidden area for the role (activity) of artificial intelligence. At present, due to the lack of necessary practical data on the possible negative impact of robot activities on human beings, and the fact that human beings are not fully prepared to live in harmony with robots, more restrictions should be made on the autonomous activities of robots in early robot legislation. With the improvement of artificial intelligence technology and the gradual enhancement of the ability of natural people to get along with robots, the restrictions on robot behavior can be gradually relaxed by constantly amending the law.

  Establish the principle of human priority and security priority

  Modern countries have established a people-oriented legislative concept. This requires that all legislation should focus on improving people’s living conditions and living environment, enhancing human well-being and promoting people’s all-round development. This is both the essential requirement of civilized legislation and the proper meaning of good law and good governance. A good law here must first be fair, secondly meet the needs of most people, and finally meet the expectations of the public for the law and the basic requirements of public order and good customs.

  As far as robot legislation is concerned, the application of robots will not only bring about profound social changes, but also affect the development of human beings, their cognition and even endanger their survival. As Hawking said: "The real risk of artificial intelligence is not its malice, but its ability. A super-intelligent artificial intelligence is excellent in achieving its goals. If these goals are inconsistent with ours, we will get into trouble. Therefore, the success of artificial intelligence may be the biggest event in the history of human civilization, but artificial intelligence may also be the end of human civilization! " Therefore, the principle and concept of human priority must be established in relevant legislation, with respect for human existence, human life and health, human interests and human safety as the fundamental purpose.

  At the same time, the relevant legislation must not only pay attention to the technical connotation of robots, but also pay attention to their cultural connotation. The relevant system design should not be a technical norm with only procedural operational significance, but a perfect combination of technology and morality full of humanistic care and ethical spirit. On the one hand, we must resolutely exclude artificial intelligence technology products that violate public order and good customs and may challenge the bottom line of human ethics from the protection of the law. On the other hand, through policies or laws, we must strictly control and restrict those technologies that may affect human ethics, and we must leave enough safety redundancy for the application of technologies with unknown risks to prevent the devastating blow that may be brought to mankind due to the out-of-control technology.

  Carefully admit the legal subject qualification of robots.

  After the appearance of robots, their identity and subject qualification are highly valued. In 2017, the robot Sophia was granted citizenship by Saudi Arabia. John frank Weaver, an American lawyer, published "Robots are Human — — How will artificial intelligence change the law? The book puts forward that robots should be given the same legal status as people because they already have many abilities of natural people, such as thinking ability, discriminating ability, purposeful activity ability, certain judgment ability and independent decision-making ability. In fact, this is not the first time to question the exclusive subject status of human beings. It has been raised many times before the emergence of robots, among which the most typical is the dispute over the subject status of animals.

  Judging from the current development process, although robots have many elements of human beings, they are not enough to compete with human beings. Although the robot may have thinking, it has not risen to a living state, and it does not have the ability required by life to form its own body and reproduce by using external substances, grow and develop according to genetic characteristics, and adapt to the environment in time when the external environment changes. Therefore, in theory, robot, as an industrial design, only has a service life without natural life, and certainly does not enjoy the right to life with life as the carrier.

  Robots are produced according to the pre-design of human beings, so they are predictable, reproducible and classifiable in nature, while predictable activities cannot be explained and regulated by traditional legal acts. In addition, robots have no morality, conscience, conscience, ethics, religion, rules and habits that natural people have, only the strength of their functions. Therefore, it is impossible for a robot to have a sense of morality, only laws summarized based on repeated and pre-designed programs, and thus there is no judgment of good and evil and behavior choice based on inner perception (conscience) necessary for civil subjects. Nor can the law achieve the effect of restraining or correcting its illegal behavior by negatively evaluating its behavior. Finally, robots don’t have the inherent perception ability to interact with the surrounding environment, and their activities to transform nature are all completed under the design, command and command of human beings. In this sense, robots are not human beings, at best, they are only quasi-natural people. Robots also have no independent property ability and responsibility ability. After robots do harm to human beings, only by punishing their actual controllers (designers and users) can we truly achieve the goal of paying equal attention to punishment and protection.

  Fully respect the public’s right to know.

  Artificial intelligence technology and its application is not only a simple technological creation, but also a major historical change that has a far-reaching impact on the future of mankind and concerns everyone’s vital interests. In the face of powerful robots, the employment opportunities of natural persons in every industry and every field may be deprived, and the living space of every individual may be severely squeezed. The public’s acquisition of information and knowledge is not only a condition for their integration into public life, but also an inevitable requirement for safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests. Therefore, every natural person should have the full right to know about artificial intelligence technology, and have the right to know what robots mean to themselves after they are widely used.

  In the relevant legislation, the public’s right to know and participate must be fully protected. The application of major artificial intelligence technologies should be widely solicited and scientifically demonstrated. It should be emphasized that the development and application of any artificial intelligence products should not be at the expense of the interests of natural persons or the public interests. At the same time, we must effectively balance the interests of all parties, especially between producers and the general public. On the one hand, the relevant system design should fully protect the creative enthusiasm of R&D personnel and encourage them to invent more and higher quality artificial intelligence products; on the other hand, it should ensure that the public can share more social and economic benefits and other human welfare arising from the progress of science and technology.

  Establish a legal system of artificial intelligence in line with national conditions

  Law serves the society, and any law must be rooted in a specific soil to play its greatest role. To formulate artificial intelligence laws that meet the needs of China, on the one hand, we must fully respect the development level of artificial intelligence technology. Without sufficient practical experience, we can’t design a complete legal system of artificial intelligence with world-leading significance and demonstration function for the time being; On the other hand, it should also be noted that the development of artificial intelligence technology is not only the need to seize the commanding heights of emerging technologies in the world, but also the general trend of social and economic development in the world.

  Therefore, our laws must actively respond to the development needs of artificial intelligence technology and meet the development requirements of artificial intelligence technology through good system design. At the same time, we must actively learn from foreign legislative experience and judicial practice experience in the field of artificial intelligence, and improve the relevant legal design as soon as possible. The urgent task is to formulate laws and regulations such as the Basic Law on Artificial Intelligence and the Law on the Promotion of Artificial Intelligence Industry as soon as possible, to clarify China’s basic attitude towards the development of artificial intelligence and robot industry, and at the same time, to introduce regulations such as ethical review methods for artificial intelligence products and design guidelines for artificial intelligence products, so as to take precautions and use legislation in advance to prevent social problems that may be brought about by robot applications.

Dragon Boat Festival: Inheritance of Ankang Festival in Ruicao Dialect

    Dragon Boat Festival is the most important traditional festival in summer. There are many nicknames for the Dragon Boat Festival, with different names in different places, such as Duanyang Festival, May Festival, Summer Festival, Noon Festival, Heavy Noon Day, Ai ‘er Festival and Daughter’s Day. It can be seen that the Dragon Boat Festival has a long history and rich connotations.

  In recent years, there have been many new customs in traditional festivals. For example, how to "send blessings" on the Dragon Boat Festival has aroused widespread discussion. "Dragon Boat Festival is healthy" or "Dragon Boat Festival is happy", people are arguing, tracing back to the origin of festivals and exploring contemporary values.

  Pick herbs to get rid of diseases.

  Use fragrance to ward off evil spirits

  Mid-afternoon, near the summer solstice, the days are extremely long, close to the peak of the sun in the "sky" in a year. "The day is long, Yin and Yang contend, and life and death are divided" (Book of Rites, Moon Order). At this time, the yang is at its peak, the yin will rise, and everything will grow vigorously. People’s greatest feeling is that the heat is unbearable. The ancients called this kind of physical feeling "evil", and thought that there was yin and evil gas invading the body in hot summer, or it was called poisonous gas and evil gas. The most effective way to fight against evil gas was to create "medicinal gas".

  Collecting herbs on the Dragon Boat Festival, also known as "storing herbs", and "storing herbs on this day to get rid of poisonous gases" (Xia Xiaozheng), tells the truth that the ancients took everything from the law and resisted the change of nature with medicinal gas. As the saying goes, "before the Dragon Boat Festival, it was all grass, and it became medicine at the Dragon Boat Festival". Mid-afternoon is not only suitable for picking herbs, but also the most suitable for pharmaceutical production, which "can not stop smelling for a long time" ("Guang Ji He Zhu Yao"). During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was very common to collect herbs and medicines during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was important to collect herbs at noon, such as "collecting herbs for medicine at noon" and "storing herbs for poison at noon".

  Herbs are picked to eliminate all diseases, and wormwood and calamus are the most common. "Home has three years of moxa, and a doctor doesn’t need to come." It can be seen that wormwood is widely used. Acorus calamus, as an aquatic herb, is also very popular because of its pungent and warm taste, heat-clearing and dampness-removing.

  The folk use of herbs varies from place to place. The "Dragon Boat Festival Scenery" in Suzhou is dominated by hollyhock, pomegranate, cattail leaf, mugwort leaf and Liuhua (Qing Jia Lu). Songyang’s "Dragon Boat Tea" is mainly composed of Litsea cubeba, Acorus gramineus, Ficus microcarpa, Lonicera japonica Thunb., Angelica sinensis and Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. There are also other herbs, usually "one family and one party", and there is no fixed formula. It is mostly prepared according to personal physique and temperament habits, and a "fragrant" and "comfortable" Dragon Boat Tea is prepared according to certain experience and skills. There is a tradition of drinking Dragon Boat Festival tea in Yueqing, Zhejiang, Huaibei, Anhui, Ninghua, northern Fujian and Yongzhou, Hunan. Wenzhou also fried salt and herbs together to make "Dragon Boat Festival Salt", which is also called "Five Salts of Noon Salt and Tea". Zongzi wrapped in mugwort leaves and reed leaves is a kind of medicine tonic. Besides eating and drinking, medicated bath has the same effect. Qu Yuan’s "Nine Songs in the Cloud" talks about "bathing in orchid soup and nourishing fragrance", which means bathing in herbs. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "bathing in orchid festival" ("Notes on the Years of Jingchu"), and "Miscellaneous Notes on the Years of Jingchu" records that "the people in the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty used peaches and willows, and the soup was bathed, all of which were the legacy of bathing in orchid." In the Qing Dynasty, Ji Sheng at the age of Emperor Jing also recorded the tradition of bathing with Pu Ai on Duanyang Day in Beijing in the old days.Nowadays, many places still keep the custom of washing hair and bathing during the Dragon Boat Festival. In Hunan, there is a saying that "bathing in the Dragon Boat Festival will keep you healthy for one year". Hainan people call bathing in the sea water during the Dragon Boat Festival "washing dragon water", and Taiwan Province, a treasure island, takes water at noon during the Dragon Boat Festival and puts it in wormwood and citronella, which is called "clean water" to scrub the body smoothly. Wearing sachets and hanging mugwort leaves on the Dragon Boat Festival is to use herbs as a kind of ballast and seek good luck and ward off evil spirits with the help of the "fragrance" emitted by plants.

  Collecting herbs during the Dragon Boat Festival and the ancient tradition of catching toads at noon. "Huainanzi" contains "drum to build soldiers, live to the end of May." In the eyes of the Han people, the May toad has a mysterious power, but its use as medicine in later generations may be related to the myth that Chang ‘e swallowed the elixir and turned into a toad in the moon (Ling Xian by Zhang Heng). The process of catching toads at the Dragon Boat Festival in Beijing was recorded in the Ming Dynasty’s A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Imperial Capital. "On the fifth day of the year, Chinese attendants came to catch frogs with officials from the Imperial Hospital." "Officials from the Imperial Hospital advocated that they went to Nanhaizi to catch frogs and get toad venom. Its method: the needle jujube leaves stab the toad’s eyebrows and the pulp shoots on the leaves to cover people’s eyes and not hurt them. " Venenum Bufonis can be used as medicine to treat dermatosis, detoxify and reduce swelling. In the Qing Dynasty, the court specially made "Venenum Bufonis Ingot" and other summer medicines, and every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the place was rewarded. The people have won this law, catching toads as medicine, and gradually there are folk proverbs such as "the toad can’t hide from the fifth of May". Some snake-producing areas in the south also pay attention to eating snakes during the Dragon Boat Festival to treat rheumatism and skin diseases. Before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, the number of snakes and insects increased, and people decorated the "five poisons" on various sachets. The most common one was a green toad-shaped sachet. Besides toads, snakes, centipedes, scorpions and geckos were decorated in five colors to fight poison with poison and repel pests.

  In southern China, Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan, Hunan and other places also have the custom of "rushing to the drug market" during the Dragon Boat Festival. In the north, the Yaowang Temple Fair, which begins on April 28th of the lunar calendar, usually lasts until the fifth day of May. In addition to free clinic, there are also customs such as offering sachets and zongzi. The Yaowang Temple Fair in Anguo, Hebei Province also has the largest Chinese herbal medicine market in the north. Before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, both the north and the south were shrouded in the atmosphere of seeking medical advice and taking a full breath of all kinds of medicines.

  It can be seen that the concept of Dragon Boat Festival medicine custom is the simplest philosophy of life formed by China people who conform to the weather and coexist with natural plants and animals. Mr. Zhou Xing, a folklorist, summed up this concept with "cosmic medicine" and thought that many material forms of Dragon Boat Festival medicine contained abstract power, which reflected the cosmological thought that China people followed Yin and Yang, and the weather was fine when they were old. This thought has deeply influenced the East Asian Han cultural circle. Today, Japan, South Korea, North Korea and Viet Nam all have the concept and practice of Dragon Boat Festival medicine customs, among which, both China’s traditional thought origin and localized diverse forms together constitute the Dragon Boat Festival cultural circle with the concept of medicine customs as its essence and the pursuit of contemporary well-being.

  A festival of communication

  Emotional encounter

  Dragon Boat Festival, as a traditional festival, has a new festival connotation in memory of Qu Yuan since the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Based on the tradition of boat racing in the southern summer solstice and offering sacrifices to the water god, the ancients combined the boat racing with the commemoration of Qu Yuan, just as the southern Liang Dynasty recorded in The Chronicle of the Age of Jingchu, "According to the fifth day of May, it was customary to vote for Qu Yuan as Miluo Day, hurting his death place, so he ordered a boat to save him." Since then, the race has become one of the core festivals of the Dragon Boat Festival. In recent years, some scholars have verified that the bird boat race is earlier than the dragon boat race. Wu Jun, a Liang native in the Southern Dynasties, said in the book "The Harmony of Continuation" that "Qu Yuan threw Miluo water on May 5, and the Chu people mourned it. So far, he has put rice in a bamboo tube to sacrifice it". Although the tradition of the ancients eating zongzi (corn millet) on the Dragon Boat Festival has long been mentioned in the local customs of the Western Jin Dynasty, the integration of the theme of commemorating Qu Yuan has further enriched the cultural connotation of zongzi. In the legend of the Dragon Boat Festival, Jiezitui, Wu Zixu, Cao E, Zhang Daoling, etc. have also become the objects of commemoration in various places because of their special personalities and noble virtues. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival always inherits the festival connotation of remembering the sages and pursuing the distance with caution.

  After the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Dragon Boat Festival, together with the Spring Festival, Shangsi, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang and La Ri, became an important festival in ancient people’s lives. Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, vividly described the dragon boat race in Yuanjiang, Hunan Province. In addition to the magnificent scene of colorful boats competing to fly, he also noticed the onlookers: "At this time, customs are as heavy as madness. Looking at the beauty of the river. The colorful flags are caught on the shore to illuminate the dumpling room, and the socks and Ling Bo are playing in the water. " The people’s true temperament is stirring in the surging crowd. By the time of Song Taizong, the race had become a water-playing activity, and the time was no longer limited to the Dragon Boat Festival, but it was held from February to March every year. The venue of the palace race was mainly in Jinming Pool. At this time, "the levee was like a wall, and the joy moved Jingchu every year." The art of "Jinming Pool Bidding Map" reproduces the scene of the official race, and this trend has continued to the West Lake race in the Southern Song Dynasty. The court loves to race, and this fashion has also led to the race being carried out on a large scale throughout the country. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhuzhi Ci also often described the lively festival of the Dragon Boat Festival. "I also bought a canoe from the river, and my children went to the rudder building one after another. Seeing the scenery is always risky, and the waves are like rain. "

  Dragon Boat Festival celebration is indispensable for human relations and family ties. "Every family in the city closed their doors, and there was a lot of laughter." "Wanjia Cup celebrates Zhongtian, and Pu Jian often hangs with Ai Hu." "The dog barking in front of the door is very concerned, knowing that it is a neighboring aunt coming to worship." Relatives and friends get together, make merry with wine, and there is peace in the noise. "Sisters both go hand in hand, and the north city travels to the west city." "Who’s a good daughter in the city, and the north makeup is quite appropriate. The strange lang rushed out of the city and refused to take Nong to watch the water play. " Sisters are deeply in love, men and women love each other, and the bustling streets are more fragrant than zongzi. A ballad in Tongling, Anhui Province truly reveals the feelings of Lang in the Dragon Boat Festival celebration: "In May, Lang pinched Sister Ai’s head, and we drank a cup of realgar wine, holding two halves of Xiantao, and my sister came to Lang’s half, and I ate the fairy." Dragon Boat Festival is a festival of communication and emotional meeting.

  In the fast-paced modern society, the Dragon Boat Festival holiday allows us to temporarily put off our work, go to nature wholeheartedly, return to relatives and friends, enjoy beautiful countryside leisurely, visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, immerse ourselves in diverse scenes and consume holiday goods instantly. The simplest blessing between relatives and friends is followed by love.

  Although "Dragon Boat Festival is healthy" has no basis in history, it is consistent with the long-standing custom of "storing medicine and removing poison" in Dragon Boat Festival. The saying "Dragon Boat Festival is healthy" reflects the continuation of the traditional concept of medicine and customs and the concept of defending life, and reflects the contemporary China people’s pursuit of harmonious coexistence and conformity with the time sequence.

Silicone oil "murder" hairline? You may not know the truth about these shampoos.

  "No silicone oil, no irritation!" "Natural extracts must be better than chemicals!" In recent years, about "silicone oil added to traditional shampoo will clog pores, lead to hair loss and even cause cancer." Rumors have made shampoo with silicone oil "out of favor". Non-silicone oil shampoo quickly occupied the market, even though it was much more expensive than silicone oil shampoo, it still attracted consumers’ attention.

  So, what is silicone oil? Is it really the culprit leading to hair loss, skin irritation and even cancer? Is the zero silicone oil care product that consumers have paid a high price necessarily applicable? With these questions, the reporter visited Sun Jie, the pharmacist in charge of Nanjing Institute of Dermatology, China Academy of Medical Sciences, and listened to what the professionals said.

  Silicone oil can effectively relieve hair damage.

  "Silicone oil is a kind of silicone siloxane, and dimethyl silicone oil is widely used in the care and cosmetics industries." Sun Jie told the Science and Technology Daily reporter.

  In the chemical industry, silicone oil is actually a general term for polydimethylsiloxane, cyclodimethylsiloxane or their derivatives. Silicone oil is a non-volatile, transparent, non-toxic and non-corrosive liquid with stable chemical properties and high safety.

  In shampoo, the scientific name of silicone oil is "polydimethylsiloxane", which has good viscosity and ductility, that is, it is very similar to the oil extracted from natural plants.

  Our ancestors first used natural plant extracts to clean hair and skin. With the development of chemical industry and the increasing demand of people for care products, silicone oil has been applied to shampoo products for 70 years.

  Why should silicone oil be added to shampoo? This starts with the structure of hair.

  Our hair grows from the hair follicles of the scalp, and the main component is keratin. There are many scales on each hair. The outermost layer of hair scales is 7-mdash; Ten layers of dead cells cover the hair surface to protect the hair core, and the healthy hair scales are complete and submissive, so the hair surface is smooth and looks shiny.

  Sun Jie told reporters that when washing hair, the grease attached to the hair scales will be washed away, and when combing hair, the hair scales will tilt up, which increases the friction between the hair and makes the hair tangled easily, thus aggravating the damage of the hair scales. If you dye your hair and perm it, it will make your hair scales open and your hair look dry and dull.

  Silicone oil can be adsorbed with hair to fill the unevenness caused by the bulge of hair scales, reduce the mutual friction between hairs, make hair easy to comb and smooth, and effectively alleviate hair damage.

  At the same time, silicone oil is also a skin moisturizing ingredient, which can cover the skin to form a protective layer to prevent the skin from losing moisture, and is widely used in moisturizing agents.

  Serious hair loss is not the fault of silicone oil.

  For a long time, there have been many misunderstandings about silicone oil, such as irritating the skin, causing allergies, and even hearing rumors that silicone oil is toxic and carcinogenic.

  "Silicone oil is widely used in cosmetics or skin care products, and it has been approved by regulatory authorities around the world and can be used in cosmetics." Sun Jie pointed out that silicone oil itself is non-toxic, tasteless and less likely to cause skin irritation and allergies.

  There have been rumors that "silicone oil causes cancer, and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned silicone oil." The reporter inquired about the official website of FDA and found that dimethicone with the code of 009006659 is dimethyl silicone oil, which is the ingredient that FDA clearly can use in cosmetics, and many internationally renowned brands clearly indicate that it contains silicone oil.

  In addition, the reporter consulted the literature and found no reports that silicone oil caused cancer and teratogenesis.

  "In 2003, the CIR expert group evaluated the safety of silicone oil preparations, and most of the products evaluated were ≤ 15%, the expert group believes that silicone oil has a large molecular weight and will not be absorbed by the skin, nor has it found any toxic reaction to animals or people that is carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic. " Sun Jie said that in 2014, CIR expert group evaluated 62 kinds of cosmetics containing cross-linked polymer of dimethyl silicone oil, and found that they were safe and not carcinogenic.

  In addition, the reporter consulted China’s national standard "GB/T29679-2013" on shampoo and shampoo, and there was no restriction on the use of silicone oil. Therefore, there is no need to "look at silicone oil and change color."

  In recent years, many people have a "Mediterranean" hairstyle before they are 30 years old. Therefore, some people think that this is caused by the use of shampoo containing silicone oil.

  "Adults drop 70-mdash every day; 100 hairs are normal, and they are obviously lost a lot, or they need to be noticed in pieces. " Sun Jie said.

  Silicone oil is insoluble in water, and long-term cleaning can not rule out the blockage of scalp hair follicles. However, the concentration of silicone oil in shampoo products is only about 1%, and there is only 0.1 g of silicone oil (about 0.1ml) in 10ml shampoo. After washing, most of it is adsorbed on the hair surface, and the possibility of blocking hair follicles is very small. There is no literature report that silicone oil can block hair follicles.

  Sun Jie introduced that in recent years, improved silicone oil with stronger water solubility has been used in washing and care products, so that when washing hair, silicone oil can be more effectively attached to the hair, with less residue on the skin.

  In addition, people’s scalp can secrete up to 1 gram of oil a day, and 0.1 gram of silicone oil is really dwarfed by the amount of oil produced by the scalp a day. Moreover, the oil is constantly discharged, and even if a little silicone oil enters the pores, it is easy to be discharged with the oil.

  Sun Jie told reporters that in modern society, people working overtime and staying up late, emotional stress, endocrine disorders, stimulating diet, dieting and so on are all causes of hair loss, and silicone oil undoubtedly bears a "big blame" in this respect.

  The choice of care products depends on the quality of hair.

  In recent years, silicone oil-free shampoo has rapidly occupied the market, even though it is 5-mdash more expensive than silicone oil-containing shampoo. 10 times, consumers are still rushing.

  Intensive advertising campaign and "recommendation" when online celebrity delivered the goods live, focused consumers’ eyes on silicone-free shampoo, but many consumers haven’t figured out what silicone-free means, and they will follow suit when they see others using it. As a result, some people have more serious oil production, and some people have aggravated the dryness of the scalp and the split hair.

  "Zero silicone oil shampoo is also developed by manufacturers to meet the needs of western consumers. Most people in Europe and America have soft hair and do not need to add a lot of lubricating oil." Sun Jie explained, but the yellow hair is hard, and many people often get perm, so how to choose it depends on the hair quality.

  In addition, even though many products claim that there is no silicone oil in shampoo, other lubricating vegetable oil ingredients are added. These vegetable oils also have the possibility of blocking hair follicles. At the same time, some people may also stimulate the scalp and produce allergic reactions after using it.

  Therefore, Sun Jie suggested that consumers should choose the appropriate shampoo according to their own situation. If you often perm and dye your hair and have hair care needs, you can choose a shampoo containing silicone oil; If you have oily skin, fine hair and less hair, you can choose a shampoo without silicone oil to produce a relatively fluffy hairstyle effect.

  For people with dry scalp, less oil secretion, rough hair or hair damage caused by long-term dyeing, you can use silicone oil shampoo, which can make hair smooth and easy to take care of; For some women with dry hair and frequent dyeing, it is more suitable to choose shampoo containing silicone oil.

  Sun Jie pointed out that both shampoo containing silicone oil and shampoo without silicone oil have their own advantages, and the one that suits your hair quality is the best. Therefore, you can choose a shampoo with or without silicone oil according to your own needs.

  Tips

  Wash your hair correctly, don’t step on the pit.

  Is it better to wash your hair with hot water?

  Excessive water temperature can easily damage hair scales and scalp. For people with oily hair, high temperature will also stimulate sebaceous glands and aggravate hair oil.

  Suggestion: The water temperature should be similar to the human body temperature.

  Shampoo directly on the head?

  Pour the shampoo directly on the hair, which will cause great irritation to the scalp and even cause inflammation.

  Suggestion: Rub the shampoo into foam before rubbing it on your hair.

  Is it more moisturizing to apply more conditioner?

  Applying too much conditioner or leaving it on your head for too long may put a burden on your scalp and aggravate the problems of your hair and scalp.

  Suggestion: Apply it to the rough hair. After applying the conditioner to the hair, when the hair is dry and forked seriously, you can wear a shower cap to help absorb nutrients.

  Do you want to dry your hair after washing it?

  After washing hair, the hair scales are open. At this time, the hair is very fragile. If you rub your hair hard, the hair scales will be damaged and the hair will become rough.

  Suggestion: wrap your hair with an absorbent towel to absorb moisture.

  Air-dry naturally after washing?

  Many people worry that the hair dryer will damage their hair. In fact, when the hair is half wet and half dry, it is more likely to breed bacteria.

  Suggestion: After wiping with a towel every time, blow dry with a hair dryer. Blow the short hair to more than 90% dry, and blow the long hair to 70% dry.

Who’s RADAR? Where does it mean?

RADAR, Chinese name radar. A car brand that dares to think and do. It is the first brand of new energy pickup truck in China, but it is not limited to new energy pickup trucks. It is based on the brand-new track of "new energy+diversity", focusing on new categories of diversified life for users and providing diversified life solutions for users.

As a brand-new brand, RADAR dares to set foot in a brand-new track. First, because it belongs to Geely Holding Group, the hardcore strength of the group gives RADAR enough confidence. Second, because RADAR fully understands the needs of users in different fields such as new energy, pickup trucks and outdoor, it is well prepared.

In terms of outdoor, or affected by the epidemic, more and more people are willing to go outdoors and love nature, which has also spawned many outdoor projects and expanded the scale of outdoor. Taking camping as an example, according to the consulting data of Ai Media, from 2014 to 2021, the market scale of camping camps in China increased from 7.71 billion yuan to 29.9 billion yuan.

Moreover, sports outdoor has become the top three in the sales of 618 whole network categories, only after household appliances and beauty and skin care. According to the statistics of the star map, during the period of "618" (May 31st to June 19th), the sales of outdoor sports category in the whole network reached 24.9 billion yuan, up about 9% year-on-year.

Also affected by the epidemic, people’s places, tools and contents of travel have quietly changed. The original inter-provincial tour and overseas tour were gradually replaced by the city of Zhou Bianyou, and the content of the tour began to tend to camping, fishing, rock climbing, hole exploration and other outdoor projects close to nature.

With the change of travel location and content, travel tools have also changed from previous airplanes and high-speed trains to self-driving travel. At present, cars, SUVs and MPVs are the most popular travel tools, and with the change of play content, the market is in urgent need of a car that is more suitable for outdoor play, such as a pickup truck with stronger comprehensive ability.

Speaking of pickup trucks, although pickup trucks are a popular category in European and American markets, pickup trucks are still relatively small in the domestic market. The reason is, on the one hand, that pickup trucks are mostly used as pure tool vehicles in China, which are not ideal in design, configuration and comfort, on the other hand, pickup trucks are forbidden in urban areas in China.

However, the tall and powerful image of pickup trucks in European and American movies has attracted quite a number of users. Moreover, with the lifting of the ban on domestic pickup trucks, that is, the restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city are further relaxed in many places and cities, and manufacturers build pickup trucks and gradually transition them from tool attributes to passenger and high-end attributes, pickup trucks will surely usher in its own spring.

Besides, leaving aside the current commercial pickup trucks, we have already turned to the Great Wall for pickup trucks, and we have gained something. Moreover, staring at this cake, there are car companies such as BYD. In the future, more and more automobile brands will enter the market segment of pickup trucks. Geely, an independent brother, is only the first to lay out and implement.

Let’s talk about the new energy track. In 2020, the penetration rate of China’s new energy vehicle market was only 5.4%, and it has reached 13.4% in 2021. This data tells intuitively that the new energy market has entered a new magnitude, and this means that it is actually a matter of time before electrification penetrates the pickup market.

In fact, the previous European and American markets have already begun to lay out new energy pickups. Tesla launched Cybertruck like a monster, and in addition, the electric pickup RIT launched by RIVIAN, an American electric car brand that has received much attention. Domestic and foreign automobile brands are actually keeping a close eye on the market segment of electric pickup trucks.

Therefore, on the launch day of the RADAR brand, it also made a non-stop appearance in a car-the Radar RD6. As a pure electric pickup truck based on the vast architecture of SEA, the radar RD6 has super storage space and super power full scene discharge function, which has outstanding advantages in charging, comfortable driving and ingenious design, and can meet the needs of outdoor exploration and urban life in all directions. At present, the known information is that the acceleration of radar RD6 in 100 kilometers reaches 6 seconds, and the cruising range of pure electricity exceeds 600 kilometers.

It is reported that in the future, the RADAR brand will also launch a scene product matrix focusing on outdoor lifestyle, including medium-sized pure electric pickups, medium-sized and large-sized new energy pickups, full-size pure electric pickups, off-road SUVs, ATV, etc., covering pure electric, super hybrid and other power modes. This also shows that RADAR is not limited to pickup trucks, but a brand-new outdoor lifestyle.

Starting from pickup trucks, not just pickup trucks, and comprehensively laying out the outdoor market may be the answer to radar cars. At the press conference, RADAR brand also launched RadarWeekend, a boutique sub-brand focusing on outdoor lifestyle, and announced that it will jointly develop a variety of outdoor camping expansion equipment with the global one-stop camping equipment brand Naturehike, and jointly launch the "Protecting Natural Wonders" plan with the Chinese version of National Geographic. In the future, RADAR Weekend is bound to work with many parties to build a diversified outdoor lifestyle ecosystem and open a "radar" for users to travel in multiple scenes.

At the press conference, Dr. Ling Shiquan, CEO of Radar Auto, said: Radar will take carefree lifestyle, unbounded exploration spirit and seamless environmental protection concept as its brand value and position itself as a mobile multi-charged space. Radar is not only a brand that pays attention to science and technology, but also a brand that advocates nature and humanity and emphasizes multiple outdoor lifestyles.

Mr. Yi Han, CGO (Chief Business Growth Officer) of Radar Auto, said: Radar will launch a boutique sub-brand focusing on outdoor lifestyle, which will carry more exploration on outdoor lifestyle. Mr. Yi Han, who has not appeared for a long time, has been preparing for the appearance of the RADAR brand.

Standing on the new track of "new energy+diversity", RADAR will surely write a wonderful chapter for new energy, pickup trucks and outdoor lifestyles. I believe that everyone, like the author, is looking forward to how the radar car brand will play outdoors in the future and what kind of diversified products it will bring.

The Ministry of Commerce talks about the supply of the Spring Festival market: the holiday market is fully supplied and the price is generally stable.

  CCTV News:On January 21, the State Council held a press conference on business work and operation in 2019. When answering a reporter’s question, Vice Minister of Commerce Qian Keming said that the holiday market supply is ready and will provide a strong guarantee for the people to celebrate the Spring Festival. Commercial departments at all levels actively take measures to increase market supply, optimize holiday services, plan and organize activities to promote consumption during holidays, and make full preparations. Mainly in the following four aspects:

  There are plenty of holiday goods.In order to effectively increase the supply of meat in the market, the Ministry of Commerce, together with relevant departments, has formulated a plan for the delivery of two sections of reserve meat, and instructed local authorities to strengthen the delivery of reserve meat. Since mid-December last year, 177,000 tons of frozen pork have been put into the central reserve, 2,000 tons of frozen beef and mutton have been put into Qinghai, Ningxia, Tibet, Xinjiang, Gansu and other ethnic minority areas, and more than 120,000 tons of pork have been put into the local reserve. Strengthen the organization of goods supply and the connection between production and marketing, and improve the ability of ensuring supply in the holiday market. Beijing organized 46 large-scale agricultural products wholesale markets and supermarket chains to carry out joint action to ensure the supply of vegetables during the holiday, and the supply of vegetables increased by about 10% during the holiday. Hebei, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Qingdao and other regions organize large-scale circulation enterprises to increase the variety and quantity of holiday stocking through the forms of "factory-yard linkage", "agricultural supermarket docking" and "wholesale-retail docking". Commercial and trade circulation enterprises actively broaden the sources of goods and increase the stocking quantity. The stocking quantity of daily necessities is more than 20% higher than usual. Meat and vegetables can meet the consumption of 5 to 7 days, and grain and oil can meet the consumption of about 20 days.

  The service supply is abundant.Encourage and guide catering enterprises to operate normally during the Spring Festival. Guangzhou held the activity of "Spring Festival food is not closed", and 2,300 stores of 192 chain catering enterprises participated in the activity; Hotels in Hangzhou booked more than 20,000 tables for New Year’s Eve dinner, an increase of 17.7%. A number of measures have been introduced in various places to ensure the supply of holiday services. Beijing has launched a campaign to ensure the supply of domestic services, and organized domestic workers to stay in service posts by means of "returning home at the wrong peak". It is estimated that 50,000 domestic workers will stay in Beijing during the Spring Festival. Shanghai has identified 117 domestic enterprises as the backbone enterprises for domestic security during the Spring Festival, and guided more domestic workers to stay in Shanghai.

  The promotion activities are wonderful.Focusing on new growth points such as night consumption, holiday consumption, green consumption and brand consumption, we will organize a variety of consumption promotion activities to meet the personalized and diversified consumption needs of the people. For example, Hebei held "Happy Hebei Happy Shopping", and Sichuan held "Spring Shopping Month" and "Sichuan Goods New Year Happy New Year" and other activities. Eleven experimental pedestrian streets will also play an important role during the Spring Festival, and organize various promotional activities with rich contents.

  The price is generally stable.Before the holiday, the market of daily necessities was generally stable, and the prices of pork and vegetables rose slightly due to factors such as increased consumer demand and increased rain and snow. According to monitoring, the average wholesale prices of pork, vegetables and fruits in 100 large wholesale markets nationwide last week increased by 2.2%, 2.4% and 2.6% respectively compared with the previous week, and the increase range was within the normal range. The prices of grain, edible oil, beef and mutton were basically the same as those of the previous week, while the prices of chicken and eggs dropped by 1.5% and 3.6% respectively.

Smart electric vehicles enter the value war in the second half, who can become a dark horse? | New Vision

Produced by Phoenix Net Technology "New Vision"

If 2023 is a year of fierce fighting for smart cars, then this year’s smart electric vehicle market may usher in a turning point in competition.

In 2023, dozens of car companies at home and abroad, such as BYD and Tesla, started a new wave of price cuts. Under the unprecedented price war, last year, China sold 9.45 million new energy vehicles, up 37.6% year-on-year, and 30.05 million vehicles, up 11.9% year-on-year, a record high. The penetration rate of new energy vehicles was 31.4%.

According to the market rules, as the industry enters a mature stage, the rate of penetration increase will slow down, the competition in the industry will intensify, and the backward production capacity will undoubtedly be gradually cleared. The only question is, when the competition enters the second half, how can the car company "roll" the opponent in the fierce knockout?

picture

At the 2024 China committee of 100 Forum on Electric Vehicles, Gu Huinan, the manager of Haobo brand, pointed out that there are "machines" in the current market competition volume, and the forward-looking technology represented by EV (electrification) and ICV (intelligent networking) technology will be the key to break the game in the second half. From Mr. Gu’s speech, we may be able to understand the future of the new energy market.

picture

In the second half, car companies will compete for the right to speak technology around EV+ICV.

Under the price war, the new energy passenger car market in China in 2023 is full of mud and sand, no matter luxury brands, mainstream joint venture car companies or new forces, all of them are spared. Some forward-looking car companies are beginning to realize that a simple price war can no longer achieve a long-term competitive advantage in the future smart electric car market in China, and the price system of China automobile market needs to be rebuilt urgently.

"Now the high-end new energy is still in its infancy, and then it will enter the development period. We must not only fight price wars, but also fight value wars, including energy, autonomous driving and solid-state batteries, and new disruptive business models may be born. " Gu Huinan, the manager of Haobo brand, believes that "the current domestic smart electric vehicle industry is entering a critical turning point. To stand out from the competition, the key point is not the price involution, but the breakthrough in quality, technological change and transcendence."

Indeed, in the low-end automobile market, because of the basic and universality of products or services, price often becomes the key factor for consumers to choose, so the price of vehicles determines the pricing power to a great extent. However, in the high-end market, consumers will value service, experience and unique technological innovation. In other words, users are more willing to pay for high-end technologies such as 800V fast charging and high-end smart driving. And grabbing the right to speak in EV (electrification) and ICV (intelligent networking) technologies are the two cores of this battle.

Gu Huinan believes that the high-end field of new energy automobile brands is "organic in volume". And how to break the existing situation, he gave Hao Platinum’s answer on behalf of one of the few enterprises in China that is self-researched by "EV (pure electricity) +ICV (intelligent network connection)". In terms of EV, Haobo has a series of cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements, such as Haobo digital chassis, Haobo quark electric drive that can achieve "palm-sized motor is comparable to V8 engine" and Haobo magazine battery 2.0 that can’t catch fire after shooting. It is reported that Haobo will break through the key technologies of all-solid-state batteries, take the lead in releasing the industry’s first all-solid-state battery with high safety and large capacity, and strive to achieve mass production in 2026.

In terms of ICV, Haobo took the lead in obtaining the license for L3 self-driving road test in the first batch, and it is also the only L3 manufacturer that can check the video of the road test. Haobo L3′ s eight redundant system safety standards can achieve the highest safety guarantee in the industry, and the cumulative road test mileage is 10 times higher than the national standard. L4 autonomous driving technology will also be mass-produced in 2025.

Obviously, Haobo has firmly grasped the dominant position in grabbing the "EV (pure electricity) +ICV (intelligent networking) technology discourse right".

"Industry+Capital" Two-wheel Drive

With an advanced, independent, stable and controllable industrial chain as a strong backing, plus advantages in technology and service, Haobo is regarded as an important "high-end potential stock" by the industry and capital.

At present, Haobo has signed strategic cooperation agreements with Iflytek and Ganfeng Lithium Industry through capital drive, and has accelerated its pace in the industry, and has successively established two intelligent manufacturing factories, and the third factory and the Thai factory are being completed and put into operation. In 2022, the company invested 10.9 billion yuan to build the Yinpai Battery Smart Eco-factory and put it into operation, which marked Haobo’s completion of the core puzzle of energy ecology.

On March 19th, at the NVIDIA GTC conference, NVIDIA announced an important cooperation with Haobo: jointly mass-producing L4 intelligent driving cars with 2000TOPS computing power. This news undoubtedly threw a bombshell into the scientific and technological circles and the capital market. The share prices of NVIDIA and GAC both rose sharply, and NVIDIA chose Haobo as a partner, which undoubtedly affirmed its technical strength and market prospects. It can be predicted that with the deepening cooperation between NVIDIA and Haobo, there will be an arms race in the field of autonomous driving in China, and Haobo will get a higher P/E ratio in the capital market.

Driven by the new round of scientific and technological revolution, the electric vehicle industry is undergoing profound changes. Price war is no longer the main theme, and value war has become the new focus of competition. Haobo brand successfully realized the transformation from price war to value war by mastering the core technology of "EV+ICV" and six major competitiveness, showing its forward-looking vision and innovative ability in the era of "electrification+intelligent networking". Looking forward to the future, in the second half competition of "electrification+intelligence", Haobo will undoubtedly become an important force leading the industry reform, and its performance is worth looking forward to.

What are the bottlenecks for new energy vehicles to accelerate their entry into the rural market?

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 7th Question: What are the bottlenecks for new energy vehicles to enter the rural market?

  Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporters Huang Xing and Xiang Dingjie

  "It is very cost-effective to buy new energy vehicles now, and it is tens of thousands of yuan cheaper to count various preferential policies. The car is very environmentally friendly, its endurance performance is good, and it is economical and affordable. " Recently, Cao Fuping, a villager from Guang Shun Town, Changshun County, Guizhou Province, bought a Geely Galaxy L7.

  A survey by Xinhua Viewpoint reporter found that with the help of policies, new energy vehicles are accelerating their entry into the rural market. However, there are still some problems in some areas, such as incomplete charging pile facilities and the need to improve vehicle adaptability. It is still necessary to speed up the construction of charging facilities, enrich rural vehicles and improve support policies to help new energy vehicles go to the countryside.

  New energy vehicles speed up their drive to the rural market.

  Walking in many rural areas, from time to time, you can see new energy vehicles with green cards whizzing by.

  Walking into the charging station of Fuhuan Town, Qijiang District, Chongqing, the owner Liu Gang is charging his polar fox car. Last year, Liu Gang spent more than 220,000 yuan to buy this car. "It only takes more than an hour to charge 80% of the electricity, and it costs less than 1 yuan’s money for every 1 kilowatt hour, which is convenient and affordable. The driving experience of electric cars is also great. " Liu Gang said.

  Ye Peng, deputy general manager of State Grid Chongqing Qijiang Power Supply Company, told the reporter that in 2022, the company invested 300,000 yuan to build a charging station in Fuhuan Town; After the charging station was put into operation, the number of new energy vehicles in the town has gradually increased to more than 40, and many villagers continue to buy new energy vehicles.

  In recent years, a series of policies have been introduced to encourage new energy vehicles to go to the countryside. In July 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued a notice requesting the organization of new energy vehicles to go to the countryside. In June this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other ministries and commissions launched the activity of new energy vehicles going to the countryside in 2023, which will last until December this year, with a total of 69 new energy vehicle models participating.

  Xie Guang, senior director of the strategic planning department of Changan Automobile, said that seven cars of Changan Automobile were selected for this year’s catalogue of new energy vehicles going to the countryside. In order to increase sales, the company introduced a number of preferential policies, such as the best-selling model Benben E-Star giving a discount of 12,000 yuan, while the other model directly dropped 30,000 yuan and then sent the "Three Electricity" (motor, battery and electronic control) lifetime warranty.

  The accelerated improvement of the charging infrastructure has also helped pave the way for new energy vehicles to "go to the countryside". The data shows that in 2020, the number of individual charging piles in Qijiang District of Chongqing was only 24, and the number of new charging piles in 2022 has reached 515, reaching 586 this year. 86% of townships in Guizhou have built charging facilities, and Chongqing is expected to achieve full coverage of all township charging facilities by 2025.

  According to the data released by China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the sales volume of new energy vehicles going to the countryside increased by 80%, 169% and 87% respectively in 2020, 2021 and 2022, driving the cumulative sales of new energy vehicles going to the countryside to more than 4.1 million. The industry expects that the sales volume of new energy vehicles to the countryside will continue to climb this year.

  Popularization still needs to go through three hurdles

  Although the sales of new energy vehicles in rural areas continue to increase, the penetration rate in rural areas is still low. According to the data of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, in March this year, the penetration rate of pure electric passenger cars in counties and townships was 16%, and the penetration rate of plug-in passenger cars in counties and townships was 8%.

  The industry believes that there are still many problems to be solved before new energy vehicles can enter the "fast lane" in the countryside.

  — — Charging facilities need to be further improved. The reporter learned that the current rural new energy vehicle market is still in the initial stage of popularization, and the construction of charging facilities in rural areas is still lagging behind. There are problems in the construction of charging piles, such as low social investment willingness, difficult profitability and difficult equipment maintenance.

  "There are too few charging piles and they are often found everywhere." A new energy owner in Longshan Town, Longli County, Guizhou Province said that local public charging piles are often unavailable, and it is common to run for 10 to 20 kilometers for charging. Zhang Le, a resident of a township in Chongqing, told reporters that he once wanted to start with a new energy vehicle, but he finally chose a fuel vehicle because he was worried that it was inconvenient to charge.

  — — Models and prices should be more suitable for the needs of rural consumers. Rural residents are more sensitive to price, and quite a few people tend to buy new energy vehicles below 70,000 yuan. Every year, cars go to the countryside mainly in small cars and mini-cars.

  Some rural residents prefer cheap old scooters. Wang Ping, the branch secretary of Haimakong Village, xiuwen county, Guizhou Province, said that almost every household in the village has an old scooter. "Although the old scooter has potential safety hazards, it is really cheap and has a low threshold for use."

  According to the car salesmen interviewed, some micro new energy vehicles are selling well, but at present, there are few new energy vehicles that can take into account the use scenarios such as rural cargo pulling and agricultural production.

  — — The sales service system needs to be further improved. The reporter learned that the traditional fuel vehicle dealer system is deeply rooted, and there are generally 4S stores or dealer channels in the county. However, new energy vehicles often adopt online booking and new direct sales mode, and the dealer system of car enterprises in the county is not perfect, which leads to the underdevelopment of new energy vehicle finance, insurance, used cars, after-sales and maintenance.

  Take multiple measures to unblock the "blocking point"

  Industry experts believe that compared with cities, the rural new energy vehicle market will still be a blue ocean. According to the Study on Electric Vehicle Travel in Rural Areas of China published by China Electric Vehicle committee of 100, it is estimated that by 2030, there will be nearly 160 vehicles with 1,000 people in rural areas of China, with a total ownership of over 70 million vehicles, and the market scale may reach 500 billion yuan.

  Xu Haidong, deputy chief engineer of China Automobile Industry Association, suggested that efforts should be made to improve public charging facilities, enrich rural vehicles and support policies, and accelerate the assistance of new energy vehicles to the countryside.

  First of all, focus on building public charging facilities. The relevant person in charge of State Grid Chongqing Electric Power Company suggested that public charging facilities should be given priority in counties, townships, enterprises and institutions, commercial buildings, transportation hubs and other places, and at the same time, the existing rural residential communities should be accelerated to carry out the transformation of charging facilities construction conditions according to local conditions, and the requirements for charging infrastructure construction in new residential communities should be implemented.

  "Rural areas are mostly ‘ One household and one hospital ’ The living form can be actively explored ‘ Photovoltaic+energy storage+automobile charging ’ Integrated charging mode. " Xie Guang said. The reporter found that at present, the model has been implemented in scenes such as expressway service areas, but it is rarely used in rural residents’ homes.

  Secondly, we should speed up the supply of products to the countryside. Xu Haidong suggested that new energy vehicle companies should be encouraged to develop more economical, practical and marketable vehicles according to the characteristics of consumers in rural areas, especially products such as micro-trucks, micro-trucks and light trucks. In view of the fact that rural consumers have low requirements for cruising range, the number of batteries can be reduced to reduce the cost and price.

  In addition, it is necessary to guide new energy vehicle companies to sink their sales and service networks. Lin Yun, an associate professor of Chongqing University, and others suggested that car companies and third-party service enterprises should be guided to speed up the construction of joint business outlets in rural areas, establish a supporting after-sales service system, regularly carry out after-sales service activities in the countryside, and provide emergency rescue services.
