"Poverty-stricken counties" have invested heavily in making water curtain films, and the bidding budget is as high as 19.98 million yuan.

The Beijing News (Reporter Li Yifan) Yesterday (June 24th), the article "How did 40 million poor counties spend" was screened on the Internet, which made Wanquan District of Zhangjiakou (originally Wanquan County, a local poor county) be pushed to the forefront.

 

Chen Xi, the author of the article, reported in real name that Wanquan District invested 40 million yuan to shoot a water curtain film, and he was the director of the film. "But after subcontracting at different levels, the actual shooting and production expenses were only 1.35 million yuan, and his project funds were owed."

 

On the evening of June 24, Chen Xi told the Beijing News reporter that the film was broadcast in August last year. After the report article was issued, it attracted attention. "The arrears were settled immediately."

 

According to the reports of official website and many local media, this project was declared to have invested more than 40 million yuan.

 

The Beijing News reporter searched the China government procurement website and found that the project "Water Curtain Film and Music Fountain Equipment Procurement", which was purchased and tendered by Wanquan District Bureau of Culture, Tourism, Sports, Radio, Film and Television, had a budget of only "19.98 million yuan".

 

Minister Xie, the propaganda department of Wanquan District Committee, responded to the Beijing News reporter last night and said that he was verifying the matter with Wanquan District Radio and Television Bureau.

 

Today (June 25th), Wanquan district government reported that the project involved has not been completed, and an investigation team has been set up on the "subcontracting of water curtain film projects at different levels", which is under further investigation and will be seriously investigated according to law after verification.

The online post titled "How did 40 million in poverty-stricken counties spend?" The author of the article, Chen Xi, said that he was involved in directing a water curtain film with a cost of 40 million and a duration of 30 minutes in the district. After subcontracting at different levels, he was in arrears with the project payment. Screenshot of the reporter’s public article

 

After the director’s real name report, the arrears have been settled.

 

Yesterday afternoon, an online post titled "How did 40 million poor counties spend it?" The author Chen Xi said that he was involved in directing a water curtain film that cost 40 million yuan and lasted for 30 minutes. After the project is subcontracted layer by layer, it is in arrears with the project payment.

 

The Beijing News reporter noted that the "poverty-stricken county" referred to in the title of the article was Wanquan District of Zhangjiakou City, and it was Wanquan County before the county was removed from the district. According to Hebei News Network, on May 5, 2019, the Hebei provincial government issued a notice officially approving 18 key poverty alleviation and development counties such as Wanquan District to withdraw from the poverty-stricken counties.

 

WeChat official account, the "Shadow Angel" who published the above article, has the account subject of "Beijing Shangwei Xiyuan Technology Co., Ltd." and the legal representative of the company is Chen Xi.

 

Chen Xi said in the article that Wanquan County (now Wanquan District), a "poverty-stricken county" in Hebei Province, invested 40 million yuan to make a water curtain film, some of which were budgeted to buy equipment, and the budget for filming was 12.6 million yuan. Then the person who got the budget outsourced the project with 4 million yuan, the contractor subcontracted it with 2.2 million yuan, and then the contractor subcontracted it with 1.65 million yuan, and finally the contractor subcontracted it with 1.35 million yuan.

 

In this paper, Chen Xi disclosed the real name of the project being subcontracted layer by layer. He said that after the project was handled by "Yan Ju, Fang Jiao, Liu Jintao, Wang Haiyang and Li Liang" in turn, the project funds were cut layer by layer. In the post, Chen Xi also published photos of contractors at all levels and their own work.

 

At the end of the article, it was written that the project was finally filmed by a team of Tsinghua graduate students and himself, but the 1.35 million yuan was not settled, so he reported all the "brokers" under his real name.

 

Last night, the Beijing News reporter contacted Chen Xi, the author of the article, who said that the water curtain film had been broadcast after it was filmed at the end of August 2018. Chen Xi said: "After the article was sent out, I paid the money in the afternoon. I worked at the bottom, and my last company asked me to delete the article." The Beijing News reporter noted that the article has been deleted.

 

Chen Xi said that as the executor of the project, he has always been in contact with the last company and has never been in contact with government departments.

On September 3, 2018, the official of the People’s Government of Wanquan District of Zhangjiakou City published an article entitled "Large-scale laser water curtain show" Youwei Wanquan Gyeonggi Pearl Dream Night Banquet ",claiming that the project" invested more than 40 million yuan ". Official website screenshot

 

Government officials and local media have declared that "the project investment is 40 million"

 

It is this water curtain film project known as "investing 40 million yuan" that involved Wanquan District of Zhangjiakou City in the whirlpool of public opinion. How did the project start? Where did the funds come from and how were they used? Aroused the attention of netizens.

 

The Beijing News reporter found that the official website of Wanquan District Government of Zhangjiakou City published an article entitled "Large Laser Water Curtain Show" on September 3, 2018.<佑卫万全·京畿明珠梦幻夜宴>"The article.

 

This paper introduces the broadcast of this "water curtain movie" in detail: On the evening of August 31, 2018, after the wonderful end of the large-scale cultural performance "Meet Wanquan", the cool and radiant large-scale laser water curtain show "Youwei Wanquan Gyeonggi Pearl Dream Banquet" bloomed in Chengxi River.

 

According to the article, the performance is a new tourism format based on the original landscape of Chengxi River. The project investment is more than 40 million yuan, and the design is based on the theme of the eagle spreading its wings, which symbolizes the booming development trend of Zhangjiakou. The musical fountain is 110m long and 20m wide. It uses the most advanced water show technology in the world, such as 3D high-definition laser projection water curtain movie, high-power full-color laser scanning numerical control rocking fountain, frequency conversion running spring and so on. Various patterns and color beams shine on the crystal clear fountain water curtain, presenting a dreamlike world.

 

According to the above article, the whole water curtain show is divided into five chapters: the foolproof Gyeonggi Fortress, the Silk Road Corridor where thousands of merchants gather, the famous cultural city where Vientiane is in full bloom, the open new area shared by all, and the ice and snow stage where thousands of people dream. "Show the historical development chapter of Zhangjiakou and Wanquan in the form of lighting stunts, and strive to present a visual feast to the people of the city."

 

According to the local information in Zhangjiakou from the media "Wanquan Life Circle", the water curtain film was broadcast on time at 8 o’clock every night for 30 minutes, which lasted until the end of September this year.

 

It is worth noting that in addition to the article of Wanquan District Government, the investment in this film project was disclosed, and many local media, including Zhangjiakou Daily, also reported on this project, all of which declared that "the investment was more than 40 million yuan".

The Beijing News reporter searched the China government procurement website and found that the project "Water Curtain Film and Music Fountain Equipment Procurement", which was purchased and tendered by the Wanquan District Bureau of Culture, Tourism, Sports, Radio, Film and Television, Zhangjiakou City, had a budget of only "19.98 million yuan".

Water curtain film and equipment procurement bidding "budget 19.98 million"

 

In the report, Chen Xi said that of the 40 million yuan investment, "most of it was used for hardware facilities, including fountains, lighting, audio and video, observation platforms, laser projection, etc., and was responsible for finding Wuhan Chukun Culture and Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as" Chukun Company ") with the qualification of their company and signing a contract with the government, and the funds were taken from Chukun Company, and 12.8 million yuan was allocated for film shooting."

 

Today (June 25th) afternoon, the Beijing News reporter inquired about two contact numbers registered by Chukun Company in the industrial and commercial department.

 

One of the mobile phones was answered by a woman who claimed to have nothing to do with the company. Her phone has been used for more than 10 years. It is not clear why her phone was registered by the company. In addition, she has been receiving calls from the company recently. Another registered landline number was never answered.

The Beijing News reporter searched the China Municipal Government Procurement Network and found an announcement-"Public Bidding Announcement for Water Curtain Film and Music Fountain Equipment Procurement Project in Wanquan District".

 

The announcement shows that the procurement project is "Water Curtain Film and Music Fountain Equipment Procurement", and the procurement unit is "Wanquan District Culture, Tourism, Sports, Radio, Film and Television Press and Publication Bureau (hereinafter referred to as Wanquan District Radio and Television Bureau)". The announcement time is 17: 31 on May 8, 2018, and the budget amount is "19.98 million yuan (RMB)".

 

The Beijing News reporter found that the budget of the project was lower than the "investment of more than 40 million yuan" publicly declared by local officials in official website.

 

Today, the Beijing News reporter called the contact number of the project announced in the announcement, and the voice prompt "The number you dialed does not exist". The telephone number of the purchasing unit publicized is "stopped". The public notice shows that the procurement agency of this project is Zhangjiakou Mingzheng Bidding Agency Co., Ltd.. The telephone number of the advertised agency, "The number does not exist".

 

Subsequently, the Beijing News reporter inquired about the contact information of a purchaser of Wanquan Radio and Television Bureau through public channels. This afternoon, when inquiring about the bidding situation of the project, the purchasing contact person said, "This was an announcement last year, and I didn’t take care of it. I did it before I came. I didn’t come until July last year. The details are not clear." Then he hung up.

 

This afternoon, the Beijing News reporter inquired that the "Bid Announcement" published by China Government Procurement Network on May 30, 2018 showed that the bid-winning date of "Water Curtain Film and Music Fountain Equipment Procurement" was May 29, and the total bid-winning amount was "19,926,649 yuan (RMB)". However, the announcement did not announce the bidding company and the final winning company.

According to the "Announcement of Winning Bid" published by China Government Procurement Network on May 30, 2018, the date of winning the bid for "Water Curtain Film and Music Fountain Equipment Procurement" was May 29, the day before the publicity, and the total winning bid amount was "19,926,649 yuan (RMB)".

Response: An investigation team has been set up on subcontracting.

 

Last night, the Beijing News reporter called the propaganda department of Wanquan District Committee, Minister Xie, and asked whether the district spent 40 million yuan to shoot a 30-minute water curtain film. The other party responded that there was indeed a water curtain film project, "but we still don’t know what he (Chen Xi) posted."

 

The minister surnamed Xie stressed to the Beijing News reporter, "We just saw this post, and the leaders attached great importance to it and asked our propaganda department and radio and television department to verify the situation. We are verifying it and have no results yet."

 

Minister Xie promised to the Beijing News reporter that the investigation of this matter will be notified to the outside world, and the release channel is to be determined.

Today, the Wanquan District Government of Zhangjiakou City reported that an investigation team has been set up on the "subcontracting of water curtain film projects at different levels", which will be seriously investigated and dealt with according to law after verification. Zhangjiakou released a screenshot of the public number.

 

Today (June 25) morning, the Beijing News reporter learned from Wanquan District Government that yesterday, the district immediately launched an investigation into the "subcontracting of water curtain film projects in Wanquan District". The preliminary investigation and verification are hereby reported as follows: In order to develop the suburban tourism industry, the "Water Curtain Film" project was implemented in this district in 2018, which mainly includes the infrastructure construction of Chengxi River, water curtain film shooting, etc. At present, the project has not been completed.

 

The Wanquan district government said that an investigation team has been set up to investigate the subcontracting problems reflected by the poster in the filming process, and it is being further investigated. After verification, it will be seriously investigated according to law.

 

As the director of the film, Chen Xi’s arrears of "45,000 yuan have been settled".

Why did Japan abolish the Lunar New Year and the Spring Festival?

Japan abolished the lunar calendar

Author | Blue Sky and Clear Away

Editor | |Thomas

The custom of celebrating the Lunar New Year (Spring Festival) originated in China and spread to neighboring countries with the strength of ancient China. Up to now, the Spring Festival has become a common festival of China, South Korea, North Korea and Vietnam, which are "cultural circles of Chinese characters".

Times have changed. Chinese characters have withdrawn from the social life of the Korean Peninsula and Viet Nam, but the Spring Festival and many festivals originating in China have been preserved to this day.

Japan still retains a large number of Chinese characters in its writing system, but in 1873 it abolished the lunar calendar, which has been used for thousands of years, and switched to the solar calendar (modern Gregorian calendar). Since then, the Japanese no longer celebrate the Lunar New Year.

▲ Vietnamese Spring Festival

The lunar calendar has been abolished, but the Japanese custom of celebrating the New Year has not disappeared. Celebrating the New Year is still an important activity for the Japanese people. After changing the calendar, Japan took the Gregorian New Year (January 1st) as the fixed date of "Japanese Spring Festival", which has been nearly a century and a half. Although the modern Gregorian calendar is implemented in China today, the lunar calendar and lunar festivals are still preserved.

So, what are the deep-seated considerations for Japan to abolish the Lunar New Year and the Lunar New Year? What are the traditional marks of the Japanese Spring Festival?

▲ Japanese-style "buy new year"

* For the convenience of readers, the "Spring Festival" in this article refers to the Lunar New Year, not the "Japanese Spring Festival".

First, the common festival of Chinese character cultural circle

Calendar is a calculation method to determine the length of time unit such as year, month and day. The current calendar system is mainly divided into three types: solar calendar, lunar calendar and yin-yang calendar.

The solar calendar takes the sun as the reference, that is, the earth revolves around the sun for one year. Most of the year is divided into 12 months, with a length of about 365 days.

At present, the modern Gregorian calendar (Gregorian calendar), which is widely used in the world, is a typical solar calendar. The Iranian calendar used in Iran, the julian calendar promulgated during the Roman Empire and widely used in Europe before the 17th century are all representatives of the solar calendar.

▲ The solar calendar is based on the sun.

The lunar calendar takes the moon as the reference, and the moon revolves around the earth for one month. The ancients judged whether the moon revolves for one week by observing the changes of the lunar surface (that is, the phase of the moon).

The lunar calendar is also divided into 12 months a year, with a length of only about 354 days. The Islamic calendar widely used in the Middle East is a typical lunar calendar.

The lunar calendar of Yin and Yang defines the length of the year based on the revolution of the earth around the sun, and the month and date depend on the moon. Although the lunar calendar in China is called the lunar calendar, in fact, the lunar calendar in China is a typical combination of yin and yang.

▲ Different moon phases

Calendars are accompanied by corresponding festivals, such as Christmas on December 25 in the western calendar. The birth of the lunar calendar in China is closely related to the ancient farming society, and the 24 solar terms are derived, and the custom of the Spring Festival is related to it.

The embryonic form of the Lunar New Year appeared as early as the Xia Dynasty. The definition of "year" in Shuo Wen Jie Zi is "Gu Shu Ye". The definition of "Year" in the Biography of Guliang is further refined. "All the grains are ripe for a year, and all the grains are ripe for a great year", and "Year" has changed from a simple time unit to a festival.

▲ Oracle Bone Inscriptions in "Year" is a person carrying mature food.

The Qin and Han Dynasties were the earliest unified feudal dynasty in China’s history. The taichu calendar, which was written by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "took the first month as the beginning of the year", and the custom of Chinese New Year continued to develop and improve. With the expansion of the imperial territory, the custom of Chinese New Year spread from the hinterland of the Central Plains to the surrounding areas.

The ancient Korean Peninsula was closely related to China in politics and culture, and China’s lunar calendar, Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival were introduced into the Korean Peninsula. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Silla Dynasty, which ruled the peninsula, drew lessons from taichu calendar and formulated its own almanac, and accepted the China Lunar Calendar and many festivals in all directions.

▲ Korean Spring Festival

Northern Viet Nam belonged to China before the 10th century. With the deepening of sinicization, festivals such as the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival also have a far-reaching impact here.

Influenced by the geographical environment, the Spring Festival in Korean Peninsula and Viet Nam is different from that in China. The Spring Festival is called "Old Truth" on the Korean Peninsula, and the Korean nation is still white. Most of the Spring Festival couplets and lucky money posted are made of white paper. In ancient times, rice cakes and pickles were the staple foods of the New Year.

▲ Vietnam five fruit plate

The latitude of Vietnam is low, and the custom of Spring Festival is similar to that of Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan-Guizhou regions. Five-fruit bowls made of bananas and oranges, Vietnamese spring rolls and zongzi are even more essential foods for Vietnamese New Year’s Eve dinner.

Due to the barrier of the sea, the connection between Japan and China was relatively weak. Until the 7th century, China’s national strength was at its peak and its culture was prosperous in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Japan sent envoys to China, and Japan was brought into the cultural circle of Chinese characters. The custom of Spring Festival and New Year came to Japan.

▲ Japanese envoy to Tang Dynasty

In 692 AD, Japan began to implement the Yuan Jia Li, which was edited by China during the Liu and Song Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties, and the customs of the Lunar New Year and the Spring Festival were introduced to Japan.

In 705 AD, in order to dispel the plague, the Japanese emperor held a "mourning ceremony" in the palace with reference to Zhou Li. The Japanese imitated the "Nuo" that existed in China in the Spring and Autumn Period. This ceremony was originally prepared for the arrival of the Lunar New Year, to drive away ghosts and pray for peace for one year.

▲ Daxie

By the 12th century A.D., the court Nuo ceremony began to decline. Folk furniture is mostly held in monasteries, and it is still in full swing, becoming a part of the preparation for the Spring Festival. In the 15th century, the custom of "changing treasure beans" in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces of China was introduced to Japan, which further simplified the Nuo, and most Japanese civilians changed to scatter beans to exorcise ghosts, which continues to this day.

Like Chinese’s offering sacrifices to the kitchen god, the God of Wealth and other gods on the New Year’s Day, the ancient Japanese also prayed at shrines and temples during the Spring Festival.

▲ Sprinkle beans to exorcise ghosts

After rice cultivation was introduced into Japan, the clan ties based on labor production became stronger and stronger. On the occasion of the Spring Festival, people will have family reunions, offer sacrifices to their ancestors and talk about family ties. "Japan’s Year-old Chronicle" records that "tonight is a night away … family handmaiden, having fun with each other, seeing off the old and welcoming the new".

Since the end of the 12th century, the Japanese samurai class has mastered the real power of the country, and the imperial court in Kyoto has become a political vase. The powerful Yuanlai Dynasty forced the Emperor to appoint himself as the general of conquering foreign countries, and established Kamakura, tokugawa era and Japan.

▲ Kamakura shogunate structure

Despite the political turmoil, the status of the Spring Festival is gradually fixed in Japan. Chinese customs have been localized and transformed, forming the Japanese Spring Festival.

Generally speaking, the custom of Spring Festival is based on the powerful national strength of ancient China and exported to neighboring countries as a representative of cultural soft power. Japan’s connection with China is not as good as that of Vietnam and the Korean Peninsula, and it has not fully accepted all China customs. However, Japan strictly follows the lunar calendar, and its position in the Spring Festival is unshakable. From the 7th century to the 19th century, the Lunar New Year influenced Japanese society for more than a thousand years, witnessing and promoting the development of ancient Japanese society.

▲ The Japanese Spring Festival is closely linked to the lunar calendar.

Second, the Meiji Restoration, Japan abandoned the Lunar New Year

In 1573, the Muromachi shogunate, the second shogunate in Japanese history, perished in the dispute of the Warring States Period in Japan. In order to unify Japan, vassals from all over the world set off a larger-scale war.

At the same time of frequent wars in Japan, Europe is groping its way forward in the long Middle Ages. In 1582, Pope Julius XIII promulgated the Gregorian calendar (the current Gregorian calendar), and the julian calendar promulgated during the Roman Empire was abolished because of the increase in errors. European and American countries gradually changed to the Gregorian calendar in the following centuries, and the Gregorian calendar will be spread to the whole world with the rise of European and American countries.

▲ Well, I’m a little 13th.

In the 17th century, East Asia is undergoing a sky-shaking change. In 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo, ending the Warring States Period, which lasted for a hundred years. On the other side of China, the Ming and Qing dynasties changed in 1644, and the Manchu people in Baishan Blackwater became the masters of the Chinese empire.

From 862, the Japanese began to use the Xuanming Calendar compiled by China in the Tang Dynasty, which had been used for about 800 years by the 17th century. As the error increased and the Tokugawa shogunate thought that China had been ruled by barbarians and could no longer be regarded as a cultural power, Japan began to compile its own calendar. In 1685, a Japanese astronomer, Haruhai Sechuan, compiled the first "domestic almanac" in Japanese history-Zhen Xiang Li.

▲ The location of Tokugawa shogunate-Edo

At the end of the 17th century, China, Japan and North Korea all adopted a closed-door policy to prevent rebellion and the infiltration of external forces. Just as Europeans were opening up global trade, East Asia closed its doors to the outside world and gradually fell behind in its development.

After Zhen Xiang Li, Japan successively edited Bao Li Li and Kuan Zheng Li. By 1844 (the 15th year of natural forest protection in Japan), on the basis of combining the latest achievements of western astronomy, Japan issued a new version of the almanac "Natural Forest Protection Calendar". Unexpectedly, this almanac, which took great efforts to complete, was swept into the pile of old paper after only 29 years of use.

▲ Japanese historical stages

On February 13th, 1854, it was the 16th day of the traditional lunar month, and the festive atmosphere of the New Year had not completely dissipated, and there was still a feeling of jubilation in Edo City (now Tokyo).

Suddenly, several black American warships, led by American navy general Matthew Perry, sailed into Edo Bay. Perry, backed by force, forced Japan to sign the unequal Kanagawa Treaty. Russia and other countries are also eyeing Japan, and the cloud of becoming a colony has shrouded this island country.

▲ Perry

People of insight in Japan saw through the decay of the shogunate and determined to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate. Changzhou, Satsuma and other vassals, which were at odds with the shogunate politically, became the base camp of the anti-curtain faction. The troops sent by the rebels defeated the shogunate army in the battle of Bird Feather and Fujian, and the Tokugawa shogunate fell. The fall of the curtain faction announced that "the great government was returned", and Emperor Meiji, who had just ascended the throne, went to the front desk.

The threat of western invasion led to the Meiji Restoration, and at the same time, China was also carrying out the Westernization Movement. However, the Westernization Movement did not touch the feudal ruling system of the Qing Dynasty, and the reform focused on military and other fields, and the breadth and depth of the reform were not as thorough as that of the Meiji Restoration.

▲ Emperor Meiji

Emperor Meiji, who restored certain powers, was extremely supportive of the reform, which covered many fields such as politics, military affairs, culture and education. Japan’s feudal rule order was broken, production in light industry and other fields flourished, and social atmosphere gradually became civilized.

On November 21, 1872 (October 1, the fifth year of the Meiji period in Tianbaoli), the calendar-awarding trading company established in May of that year obtained the right to sell official calendars, and is selling calendars for the new year in major cities. It has been more than four years since the Meiji Restoration, and the Japanese still use the traditional calendar.

▲ Calendar used in Japan

At the same time as the sales of the almanac were booming, Akira Tsumoto, who was the official official of Taisho, played "Abolishing the Tianbao Calendar and Implementing the Solar Calendar" to the Emperor.

Sakamoto Akira said that the national finance in the early Meiji Restoration was very tight. Limited funds are allocated to various reform undertakings, and the treasury, which is not rich, is about to bottom out.

During the Tokugawa shogunate period, most samurai got rice as an "annual salary" according to their status. After the Meiji Restoration, the samurai class was deprived of its privileges. In order to appease these professional soldiers, the new Meiji government still paid them salaries, but cash replaced rice and the payment method was changed to "monthly payment system".

▲ samurai class

Akira Tsumoto believes that if the old calendar is implemented, it is necessary to pay samurai and other civil servants a monthly salary of 13 months from time to time. This has to say a special problem in the calendar-setting leap.

A year’s time is not an integer, no matter what kind of calendar, there is a difference in time calculation. The lunar calendar in China uses a leap month to make up the time, and there will be 13 months every few years. Most solar calendars adopt leap days, that is, adding one day in individual months to make up for the time, such as February 29 in the Gregorian calendar. In this case, the month will not increase, just pay 12 months’ salary.

▲ Japanese officials in the 19th century.

Emperor Meiji accepted the suggestion and, taking advantage of the fact that the Lunar New Year was coming to an end, on December 2 of that year (the Lunar New Year), he issued a notice of Taizheng official to abandon the Tianbao calendar. The Tianbao calendar (lunar calendar) came to an abrupt end on December 2. The next day, the date changed from December 3 of the lunar calendar to January 1 of the solar calendar.

This move by the Japanese government not only saved the monthly salary of civil servants (including the samurai class) in the 13th month, but even the monthly salary in December of the lunar calendar was denied by the government in the name of "no salary will be paid after only two days in that month".

▲ Before the cabinet system was established, Minister Taisheng was the No.1 civil servant.

The people were caught off guard by the sudden abandonment of the old calendar, and the calendar issuing company suffered heavy losses. The old official calendars sold became a pile of waste paper, and the solar calendar official calendars could only be re-made. In order to compensate the merchants’ losses, Emperor Meiji approved to extend the time limit of the official sales calendar of the trading company for 10 years.

Fukuzawa Yukichi, an important Japanese enlightenment thinker in modern times, heard the news that the government issued a new calendar, and regardless of his physical illness, he wrote "Change the Calendar". Explain the new calendar to the people, and explain the importance of changing the calendar for Qiang Bing, a rich Japanese country, to realize the dream of leaving Asia and entering Europe.

▲ Fukuzawa Yukichi

At this point, in order to alleviate the financial pressure, Japan officially abolished the lunar calendar that had been implemented for thousands of years in 1873. The Spring Festival, based on the old calendar, disappeared. Japan redefined all festivals with the new calendar, and the original New Year on the first day of the first month became the New Year on January 1.

Thousands of years of habits cannot be completely changed by a single decree. For quite some time, the Japanese people continued the custom of celebrating the holidays on the lunar calendar, and Japan also marked the corresponding lunar calendar below the official calendar. However, with the deepening of the Meiji Restoration, leaving Asia and entering Europe became a broad consensus in Japanese society, and the lunar calendar gradually disappeared in Japanese society.

▲ Japan that "leaves Asia and enters Europe"

Third, start a new Japanese New Year

In 1895, Japan won the Sino-Japanese War. The Qing dynasty not only lost the war, but also abolished the suzerain-vassal relationship with Korea. Japan’s national pride has been further enhanced, and cutting with backward East Asian social traditions has become a strong trend in Japanese society.

In 1898, Japan adjusted its calendar. Since the abandonment of the lunar calendar in 1873, the solar calendar has been implemented in Japan for more than 20 years. However, Japan has adopted its own solar calendar, which is not completely consistent with the Gregorian calendar commonly used in the West.

▲ Sino-Japanese War

On May 11th, 1898, Emperor Meiji issued Imperial Decree No.90, replacing the calendar implemented in Japan with the Gregorian calendar, which was completely consistent with the calendars of western countries. This is the "leap year event" in Japanese history.

By 1910, Japan had annexed the Korean peninsula. In the same year, the Japanese official calendar completely canceled the marking of the lunar date, because celebrating the Lunar New Year was regarded as a symbol of backward countries by many Japanese at that time, and celebrating the New Year on the Gregorian New Year’s Day became the mainstream of Japanese society.

Only in Ryukyu Islands and some remote villages have the custom of Lunar New Year been preserved, while the Japanese-occupied Korean Peninsula and Taiwan Province were not inhabited by Yamato people, and most of them persisted in the Lunar New Year.

▲ The Japanese army occupied the Korean peninsula.

After the defeat of World War II, Japanese society accepted the transformation and influence of the United States, and the imprint of the Lunar New Year was further diluted. Neighboring countries such as China and South Korea also adopt the Gregorian calendar, while retaining the lunar calendar and continuing the custom of the Spring Festival. With the rise of Japan’s economy, the way to celebrate the Japanese New Year has gradually taken shape.

The Japanese New Year moved the original Spring Festival to the Gregorian New Year, and now it has become the consensus of the Japanese to celebrate the New Year on January 1. The Lunar New Year is called the "Spring Festival Festival Festival Festival", which is hard to find except in some areas of Wakayama, Okinawa and other counties and Chinese residential areas.

▲ Spring Festival Festival Festival

Every year around December 26th of the Gregorian calendar, the annual flavor of Japan begins to appear. Shops that have just removed their Christmas costumes immediately put on Japanese New Year’s colorful costumes, and every household is busy. People will hang "note ropes" at the door to drive away disasters, and prepare mirror cakes made of rice cakes and oranges at home.

Put pine on both sides of the door, or hang pine branches in front of the door. This custom was introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty, and "Song" is similar to "Shi" in Japanese, so the Japanese pray for the gods to protect their family.

▲ Mensong

The pronunciation of "nine" and "bitter" in Japanese is similar. On this day, people choose to let go of the 29th and finish all the preparations before the New Year on December 30th.

December 31st is called "Big Bad Day", which is similar to New Year’s Eve in China. On this night, the Japanese will also "keep watch", and the whole family will sit around and watch the annual "Red and White Song Festival" (which started in 1951 and has a function similar to the China Spring Festival Gala), waiting for the arrival of the New Year.

▲ Red and white songs

On the occasion of the New Year, the elders will give the younger generation "Nianyu", which is similar to China’s lucky money. Many places in Japan still have the custom of drinking Tu Su wine in the New Year.

Japanese New Year’s Eve includes rice cake soup cooked with vegetables, fish and shrimp, and a bowl of buckwheat noodles. This custom originated in the Tokugawa shogunate period. The slender buckwheat noodles symbolize longevity, and the good life is as long as noodles. And soba noodles are easy to break, meaning to say goodbye to the troubled past.

▲ Nianyue soba noodles

After 12 o’clock, people will gather in nearby temples and shrines for the "first visit", that is, the first visit to the New Year. People gathered to ring the Brahma bells in the temple and pray for peace and happiness in the new year. Large monasteries, such as Sensoji Temple in Tokyo and East Honganji in Kyoto, will have endless queues.

Japan celebrates the New Year on January 1st of the Gregorian calendar, which is called New Year’s Day in China, but it plays the role of New Year’s Day in Japan. People donate incense money in temples to worship the Seven Fortune Gods.

▲ Bell ringer

The Spring Festival has been attached to Japan for thousands of years, and China almanac was used by Japan from 862 to 1685. After using the local calendar for two centuries, Japan abolished the lunar calendar in 1873. However, the notes of the lunar calendar have remained for about 40 years, and the traditional New Year customs have also been preserved, but they have been moved to the Gregorian New Year’s Day.

The dates of Chinese and Japanese New Year celebrations are staggered because of the different calendars, but the people’s expectations for a better life are the same. The festive atmosphere is full of people’s endless hopes for the future.

▲ Pray for a happy New Year.

Why is Country Garden heavily in debt? How should the owners respond?

It is understood that Country Garden’s operating conditions are not optimistic and its liabilities are serious. The main reasons are as follows:

First, the overall sales of real estate are difficult, and it is difficult to withdraw funds.Affected by the real estate market environment, the current price increase is not large, and the price in some areas has shown a downward trend. The public’s awareness of buying houses is not strong, and it is in a wait-and-see state, which has affected the sales of faster houses. There are also a large number of existing houses, which makes it difficult for Country Garden to withdraw funds in the real estate development and construction stage.

Second, financing is difficult and it is difficult to continue to invest.Land acquisition, construction, publicity, sales and other aspects of real estate need a lot of capital investment. Country Garden and other real estate enterprises rely more on external financing in the case of slow capital withdrawal, and the government’s special fund investment is limited. However, the overall situation of the real estate industry is sluggish, investors are cautious about the investment in real estate projects, and external financing is difficult, which makes it difficult for Country Garden to continuously promote project investment.

Third, the format layout is wide and the capital chain is tight.Country Garden’s commercial layout is not limited to real estate, but also involved in business fields such as cultural tourism and catering. The expansion of commercial layout also represents a large-scale increase in capital investment, a decrease in internal cash flow, and an increase in operational risks. However, in many formats, once there are problems such as difficult capital return and unexpected recovery of creditor’s rights, it may lead to the tension of the entire capital chain and even the overall thunderstorm.

Facing the debt-ridden Country Garden, as the owner who buys Country Garden, he needs to pay attention to the operation of Country Garden, and the most important thing is to pay attention to the delivery of his own house. For example, whether it can be delivered as scheduled, and what is the quality of the delivered house?

First of all, the most direct thing to do is to go to the site to check the construction situation.Is it normal construction, or has it stopped, or is it a sparse performance construction? Once you encounter the latter two, you need to act immediately to avoid the future money room being empty. In addition, there is a detail to pay attention to when going to the scene. Ask the construction workers or security guards whether their wages are paid normally and whether there is any default in labor fees. If there is a problem of long-term arrears in project payment, it is even more necessary to pay attention.

Secondly, check whether the down payment and bank loan have been paid in advance as soon as possible.sellHow much money is left in the fund supervision account?The pre-sale house payment must be used for the construction of the house, and the relevant house payment is deposited in the pre-sale fund supervision account, which is a strong guarantee for the owner to deliver the house on schedule. Once it is found that the developer has transferred the pre-sale funds, it is necessary to immediately file relevant illegal investigations.

Third, both the owners who buy faster houses and the owners who buy existing houses need to carefully check the quality of the houses when they close the houses.Faced with the high turnover mode in the development and construction of Country Garden, the owners need to pay close attention to the quality problems of the houses. If quality problems are found, the owners can refuse to take over the houses as appropriate, requiring them to carry out maintenance within the time limit agreed in the commercial housing sales contract, and then take over the houses after the maintenance is improved;

Finally, if the delivery of the house is delayed, the first thing to consider is whether to want the house or check out. If the house has been built almost, such as the main body has been capped. At this time, the risk of asking for a house is relatively small, and you can work hard to promote the delivery of the house. At this time, our owners can unite and give full play to the role of strength with strength. However, if the site is still a pit and has been shut down for a long time, it is necessary to consider whether it can be handed over in the future. At this time, if you choose to work hard towards checking out, don’t think that many hands make light work. You know, in such a tight capital situation, how can developers return a house to so many people? Even if there is no thunderstorm, it can’t be realized objectively, let alone the situation of thunderstorm.

1. Whether the purchased house belongs to Baojiaolou project and whether there is any relief fund.

2. Excavate as many illegal points of the developer as possible through legal compliance, and convert these illegal points into the cost of the developer through illegal investigation and application and litigation. Let developers see that if they don’t actively perform the contract, there will be more costs and costs, and try to avoid developers from being ruined.

3. For the owner of the loan, you can try to stop the loan temporarily, that is, stop repaying the bank loan, or lower the mortgage interest rate. This loan suspension does not mean to stop lending rashly, but to negotiate with banks through negotiation and communication, and finally reach a written loan suspension agreement. For example, we once had an uncompleted residential building case in Taihe. We found that the bank had the problem of illegal lending. After the relevant illegal investigation, the bank took the initiative to find us to negotiate the loan suspension, and finally reached an agreement with our owner to temporarily stop repaying the loan. At this time, it will not affect the owner’s credit information, and will not be sued by the bank because of the default. At the same time, the central bank recently explicitly proposed to guide the reduction of the interest rate of individual housing loans, and the owners can also ask the loan banks whether there are relevant local policies and negotiate whether the loan interest rate can be lowered.

To sum up, the external real estate industry environment and internal business expansion are all the reasons that lead to serious debt problems in Country Garden. In the face of debt-ridden Country Garden, the owners must first take legal and reasonable measures to safeguard their rights and interests in purchasing houses and avoid property losses.

The amount of debt held by commercial banks is nearly 70 trillion! How does the new capital management approach affect the bond market

  China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission and the Central Bank recently publicly solicited opinions on the Measures for Capital Management of Commercial Banks (Draft for Comment). The new regulation is to implement the regulatory requirements of Basel III issued by the Basel Committee in 2017, with the goal of improving the risk management level of banks. The measures are planned to be formally implemented on January 1, 2024.

  The impact of this new regulation on the bond market is not small. The data shows that commercial banks hold 69.1 trillion yuan of bonds, accounting for 55.30% of the scale of custody bonds, and are the largest institutions holding bonds in China. According to the reporter’s interview with people in the industry, on the whole, the new regulations adjust the bond risk weight coefficient, which is beneficial to commercial banks to reduce capital consumption, and generally benefits local government general bonds, investment-grade credit bonds, bad bank secondary capital bonds, and interbank deposit certificates of more than three months.

  The willingness to hold local bonds and high-quality credit bonds may rise.

  Wang Qiangsong, head of the financial research department of Nanyin, told CBN that the new regulations have the greatest impact on the bond market from several dimensions. First of all, the risk weight of local governments’ general bonds is lowered from 20% to 10%, and special bonds remain unchanged. The general bond revenue and expenditure of local governments are included in the general budget revenue and expenditure. Legally speaking, it is more appropriate to lower the risk weight.

  By the end of 2022, the general debt of local governments was 1,438.96 billion yuan, and 86% of domestic local debt was held by commercial banks. It is estimated that the reduction of general debt risk weight will save banks 1,237.5 billion yuan (143,896 * 0.86 * 0.1). "Lowering the risk weight of general debt will provide space for commercial banks to increase their holdings of government debt and further support the medium and long-term expansion of government debt." He said.

  In addition, the risk weight of investment-grade corporate bonds is lowered from 100% to 75%, and investment-grade companies are identified from eight specific indicators, such as operating risk, debt risk and profit level.

  The agency predicts that most bonds issued by large central enterprises and listed companies will be recognized as investment-grade corporate bonds, but the number of urban investment bonds that can be included in this standard is small. This will help commercial banks to allocate high-quality credit bonds, improve the transaction depth of high-quality credit bonds and reduce financing costs.

  The allocation of secondary capital bonds may decline.

  Since the net value of wealth management products fluctuated greatly, the change of tier-2 capital bonds has received great attention. This new regulation has increased the risk weight of tier-2 capital bonds of banks from 100% to 150%, which also has a considerable impact on this asset class.

  As of the beginning of February 2023, the balance of domestic banks’ tier 2 capital bonds was about 5.3 trillion yuan. "Adjusting the risk weight may cause an impact. It will be more difficult for banks to hold each other when issuing Tier 2 capital bonds, and banks will reduce their allocation and market liquidity will be weakened." Wang Qiangsong said.

  Liao Zhiming, chief banking analyst of China Merchants Securities, told reporters: "The new regulations have adjusted the risk weight of tier-two capital bonds of banks, insurance and brokers to 150%, and TLAC (total loss absorption capacity) bonds are also 150%, compared with the current 100%. There is a big increase. The risk weight of tier-2 capital bonds increased in line with expectations, and the incremental impact was controllable. However, the key to follow-up depends on the growth of wealth management scale. "

  Among the bank capital replenishment tools, secondary capital bonds and perpetual bonds are the main components, and the circulation has increased significantly in recent years. Earlier, tier-2 capital bonds were preferred assets held by banking financial subsidiaries. However, at one time, due to the fluctuation of bond market, the net value fluctuated greatly, which led to a sharp drop in prices caused by bond market selling and investor redemption. This also once caused the market to worry about wealth management or continue to reduce its holdings of tier 2 capital bonds.

  Yu Jinxin, an analyst at Minsheng Securities, said earlier that all levels of capital of domestic commercial banks have corresponding supplementary tools, among which tier-2 capital bonds and perpetual bonds are significantly ahead, supplementing tier-2 capital and other tier-1 capital of banks respectively. In recent years, the issuance of secondary capital bonds and perpetual bonds has increased significantly. By the end of May 2022, the total stock scale reached 4.98 trillion yuan, of which the issuance scale of state-owned banks was dominant, and the number of urban and rural commercial banks was relatively high. "Although the new asset management regulations have brought new investment constraints to tier-2 capital bonds and perpetual bonds, the asset mismatch may still make these two types of bonds lack alternative assets. Therefore, we believe that the investment demand is still resilient, but there may be two changes. One is that the duration is moderately shortened, and the other is that the transaction attributes are enhanced."

  Most viewpoints hold that, as far as Tier 2 capital bonds are concerned, although the scale growth of bank wealth management funds is still uncertain, the overall allocation of insurance funds may remain stable under the long-term gap between assets and liabilities and policy support.

  The impact on bank capital adequacy ratio is limited.

  Generally speaking, most institutions believe that the implementation of the new regulations has limited impact on the capital adequacy ratio of domestic commercial banks, and it is expected that the capital adequacy ratio of banks will be slightly improved due to the reduction of the credit risk weight of investment-grade enterprises.

  The bright spot is that the policy supports the growth of consumer loans and mortgage loans. Under the new regulations, the risk weight of banks with a high proportion of mortgage loans and retail business is lowered, and the capital adequacy ratio is expected to increase.

  Specifically, Wang Qiangsong told reporters that the risk weight of credit cards was lowered, and the risk weight of credit lines (unused lines) below 1 million yuan was adjusted from 50% to 20%, and the definition of qualified traders was proposed, and the risk weight of use lines was adjusted from 75% to 45%; In terms of housing mortgage loan, the repayment source does not depend on the real estate cash flow (that is, the solvency of the purchaser is valued), and the risk weight is lowered &mdash; &mdash; If the down payment ratio is more than 40%, it will be reduced from 50% to 40%, and if the down payment ratio is 30%, it will be reduced from 50% to 45%, which is beneficial to both the first set and the second set.

  At the same time, under the new regulations, the risk weight of SMEs is 85%, which is lower than the current 100%. Liao Zhiming believes that this is good for city commercial banks with relatively high credit for SMEs. The risk exposure of small and medium-sized enterprises refers to the creditor’s rights of commercial banks to enterprises whose operating income in the last year does not exceed 300 million yuan and meets the identification standards of medium, small and micro enterprises stipulated by relevant state departments, but does not include the creditor’s rights to small and micro enterprises and investment-grade companies.

Syrian extremist organization "pyramid scheme" brainwashes people to join the partnership, and love is used as bait to trick girls into defecting.

CCTV News:The ways and means of extremist organizations to attract recruiters are very tempting and deceptive, and many people are tempted to join the group.

Extreme organization network mapping

Extreme organization network mapping

According to figures reported by American media, during the period of rapid expansion of extremist organizations, more than 20,000 foreign extremists from more than 90 countries went to Syria and Iraq. This figure is attributed to a systematic and efficient publicity network. With the progress of cracking down on extremist organizations, these foreign extremists either continue to wander around Syria and Iraq or return to their countries of origin. In addition to people like onur who are aware of the true colors of extremist organizations, there are also some stubborn extremists, and their scattered return is still an extremely unstable factor facing all countries in the world.

Massive social media accounts spread brainwashing content

Massive social media accounts spread brainwashing content

According to members of extremist organizations, the usual means of recruiting personnel by extremist organizations is to apply for a large number of accounts on various social media platforms, or develop special media platforms, release bloody videos, instill extreme ideas, or promise false honors. In addition to brainwashing content, extremists will also post life photos such as food and selfies in their personal accounts, trying to convey the illusion of a better life to the outside world to confuse more young people. In view of the great influence of extremist organizations through online propaganda, in recent years, many well-known social media companies have decided to remove terrorist content and close accounts related to extremist organizations.

Private contact fosters intimacy.

Many young women have been tricked into joining extremist organizations.

In addition to putting a huge amount of information on the Internet, extremists will also have one-on-one online and offline contact with the recruits, cultivate feelings and gain trust with the targets, and further encourage young people to go to Iraq or Syria to participate in terrorist activities. There are also members of extremist organizations who even use love as bait to lure young women to extremist organizations.

The pressure of extremists returning to Europe to fight terrorism has increased.

The picture shows that after the terrorist attacks in Barcelona, the Spanish Ministry of the Interior raised the expected level of counter-terrorism.

The picture shows that after the terrorist attacks in Barcelona, the Spanish Ministry of the Interior raised the expected level of counter-terrorism.

Since the beginning of this year, in the context of the continuous strengthening of anti-terrorism in European countries, the momentum of terrorism in Europe has not diminished, and terrorist attacks have even shown a high incidence. Britain, France, Belgium and even the relatively calm northern and southern Europe have not been spared. Almost all major attacks have extremist organizations behind them. At present, the living space of extremist organizations has been greatly suppressed, and extremists who went to Syria and Iraq have "returned" one after another, which has made many European countries feel tremendous pressure on counter-terrorism. Some experts said that to combat terrorism, European policymakers need to deploy more anti-terrorism forces to prevent the Internet from becoming a tool for spreading extreme ideas, and to prevent the breeding of terrorism through the joint efforts of the government and social institutions.

Stabilize the economy and promote reform, and constantly improve the policy toolbox

On July 30th, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a meeting to analyze and study the current economic situation and plan economic work in the second half of the year. What is the current economic situation in China? How to do economic work in the second half of the year? How to push the reform in related fields? On August 1st, the National Development and Reform Commission held a press conference and invited relevant responsible comrades to interpret some hot economic issues.

Facing external pressure, how was the economy in the first half of the year?

Better than expected, high-quality development achieved new results.

"In the first half of the year, China’s economy made steady progress and was better than expected while withstanding external pressure and digesting accumulated risks. New achievements were made in high-quality development and the gold content of development continued to increase." Zhou Chen, director of the National Economic Comprehensive Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, analyzed the characteristics of economic operation in the first half of the year from three aspects.

The main macro indicators performed well. In the first half of the year, the gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 5.3% year-on-year, which was better than the market expectation at the beginning of the year and increased by 0.3 percentage points over the same period last year.

In July, the expected index of production and business activities was 52.6%, which continued to expand on the line of prosperity and decline, indicating that the market confidence of manufacturing enterprises was relatively stable and optimistic. In addition, employment, prices and residents’ income are generally stable. In the first half of the year, the national urban survey unemployment rate averaged 5.2%, down 0.1 percentage point from the first quarter, and 6.95 million new jobs were created in cities and towns, achieving the annual target of 58%.

Economic operation shows strong resilience. In the first half of the year, domestic demand continued to play the main role of growth, contributing 68.8% to economic growth; Foreign trade has shown great resilience, with the scale of import and export standing at 20 trillion yuan, and exports increasing by 7.2%; The role of "ballast stone" in equipment manufacturing continued to play, and the added value of equipment manufacturing increased by 10.2%; The development of modern service industry was accelerated, and the services of information transmission, software and information technology increased by 11.1%.

New kinetic energy accelerates development and growth. Innovative achievements such as open source models of artificial intelligence and innovative drugs are constantly emerging, and emerging industries such as intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturing and intelligent vehicle equipment manufacturing are thriving. In the first half of the year, the added value of high-tech manufacturing increased by 9.5%, which was 3.1 percentage points faster than that of industries above designated size.

"The economic performance has not come easily this year, which has laid a good foundation for achieving the goals and tasks of economic and social development throughout the year and enhanced our confidence." Chen Zhou introduced the priorities of the National Development and Reform Commission in the next step:

We will continue to exert our efforts and make timely efforts to implement the deployed policy initiatives. Unswervingly implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand, unswervingly promote high-level scientific and technological self-reliance, deepen reform and opening up, and make efforts to build a unified national market. In particular, a number of measures to continue to promote stable employment and stabilize the economy have been introduced and implemented one after another, turning external pressure into endogenous power and stabilizing the economic market.

Strengthen economic monitoring, forecasting and early warning, constantly improve the toolbox of policies to stabilize employment and expand domestic demand, launch it in time according to changes in the external environment, focus on stabilizing employment, enterprises, markets and expectations, and strive to achieve a reasonable rebound in price levels, overall social employment stability and economic growth.

The economy is progressing steadily. What have we done?

Deepen the construction of a unified national market and strengthen the domestic circulation.

At present, external shocks and uncertainties are increasing, and strengthening the domestic cycle has become a strategic move to promote economic stability and long-term success. "It will speed up the cracking of blocking points that restrict the domestic big cycle and consolidate and expand the economic recovery to a good momentum." Chen Zhou said.

-expanding domestic demand in all directions and enhancing the resilience of the domestic macro-cycle.

Promote the "double" construction with high quality. Actively expand effective investment. Study and steadily continue the "two new" policies. Enhance consumption capacity and cultivate new growth points of service consumption.

"It will be submitted for approval to speed up the establishment and launch of new policy financial instruments and promote private enterprises to participate more in the construction of major national projects. At the same time, it will also improve the price formation mechanism in the fields of transportation and energy, and improve the return on investment. " Zhou Chen said.

-Optimize the supply structure and improve the domestic macro-cycle benefits.

In the next step, we should unify the scale of government behavior, clarify the specific behaviors that are encouraged and prohibited by attracting investment, control and prevent all kinds of behaviors and practices that hinder the unified market and fair competition, and rectify the disorderly competition of enterprises according to laws and regulations.

Jiang Yi, director and spokesperson of the Policy Research Office of the National Development and Reform Commission, told the reporter that the National Development and Reform Commission is working with relevant parties to accelerate the revision of the price law, select industries with more prominent "involution" competition, conduct targeted cost surveys, and urge enterprises to consciously regulate price behavior.

Optimize the market access environment for new formats and new fields, speed up the formulation of a number of special measures to relax market access, and introduce policy measures to cultivate and open new scenes, so as to promote scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation with scene innovation. At the same time, we will promote the innovative allocation of production factors, promote the comprehensive reform pilot of factor market allocation, deeply explore the realization path of new factors such as data confirmation and participation in distribution, and promote the smooth flow and efficient allocation of various production factors.

Simulcast+| Not enough after watching the military parade? The world military movement is coming.

[simulcast+]Recently, "News Network" reported the "Village Opening" ceremony of the Military Games Village, and 553 members of the China delegation became the first group to move in, which also marked that all the pre-competition preparations for the Wuhan Military Games were ready.

Athletes' Village of Military Games

Athletes’ Village of Military Games

The 7th military world games held in China will be held in Wuhan from October 18th to 27th. The Wuhan Military Games will be attended by delegations from 110 countries. It will be the largest sports meeting with the largest number of participants and the most influential in the history of military world games.

The majestic National Day military parade is still fresh in my mind, and the news that the military games will be held soon brings our expectations into the sports field. But have you heard of this military world games, which is called the "Military Olympics"? Lianjun will take you to know.

"Wu" and "He" are the names of peace in military sports meetings.

Modern sports seems to be synonymous with peace and friendship. At the beginning of its birth, it was inextricably linked with war and soldiers. It prevailed in the ancient Olympic Games in ancient Greece. Athletes took soldiers as the main body, such as running, wrestling, mixed fighting, horse racing, chariot racing, pentathlon (sprint, long jump, discus throw, javelin throw, wrestling) and so on. Just listening to the names, they carried a certain military brand.

At that time, in order to allow athletes to participate in the four-year Olympic Games safely, the city-states agreed to suspend military operations during the Games. This is the famous "Olympic Truce". Thus, the ancient Olympic Games became a grand gathering for peace and friendship, which was independent of the war environment at that time.

In this way, sports has found a balance between the two contradictory human relations, namely "war" and "harmony". The birth of military world games is the product of human reflection on war and pursuit of peace. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and the signing of the Charter of the United Nations, the first military world games was held in Rome, Italy, from September 4 to 16, 1995. At that time, 4,017 military athletes from 93 countries and regions participated in the competition and launched a competition without smoke.

On September 4th, 1995, the first military world games was held in Italy.

This is the first time in history that the armies of all countries in the world have gathered in a sports event in a peaceful environment, which coincides with the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. In 1995, countries around the world held a massive commemorative event. In order to celebrate the victory of the world anti-fascist war and the lasting peace brought by the founding of the United Nations, this tournament was praised as "a peace celebration with special significance in the history of the world military".

In 1999, the second military world games was assembled in the Balkan Peninsula, where the war had just stopped for less than two months. Soldiers from 82 countries gathered in Zagreb, the Croatian capital, to spread "peace" under the blazing flame.

On August 8, 1999, the second military world games was held in Croatia.

Who is the strongest in previous military games?

Like the Olympic Games, the military games are held every four years, but the participants are different: the athletes participating in the military games are all active soldiers from all countries; The project settings are different: there are comprehensive Olympic events, military pentathlon, navy pentathlon, air force pentathlon, orienteering and skydiving.

Soldiers are born to be half athletes, do not hold weapons, and the sports competition between them is still full of firepower.

The Russian delegation won the first military games with 62 gold medals, 28 silver medals and 37 bronze medals, and Russian swimmer Dennis pankratov was named the best athlete in this military games. The host Italian military sports delegation won 22 gold medals, 16 silver medals and 13 bronze medals, ranking second in the medal list.

Our army sent a delegation of 191 people, including shooting star Xu Haifeng and swimming world record holder He Cihong, and won 13 gold medals, 21 silver medals and 15 bronze medals, ranking third. The first appearance of our military athletes on the international military arena made the world sit up and take notice.

After that, the top four gold medals in previous military games were ranked as follows:

2nd session: Russian, China, Italian and Croatian (hosts)

The 3rd session: Russia, China, Italy (host country), Ukraine.

The 4th session: Russian, China, German, Italian.

5th session: Brazil (host country), China, Italy and Poland.

6th: Russia, Brazil, China, South Korea (host)

On the whole, Russia has outstanding strength, ranking first in the first four sessions, not participating in the fifth session for some reason, and dominating the sixth session with great advantages. China won the second place in four sessions and the third place in two sessions, ranking second only to Russian. Italy was in the top four in the first five sessions, close to China, and fell to the eighth in the sixth session. Brazil’s first four sessions were unknown, and the fifth session won the championship with the benefit of the host country without Russia’s participation; However, the sixth session can still be ahead of China, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Just like the name of the torch of the Wuhan Military Games-"Glory of Peace", soldiers from all over the world gather here to pursue glory, ignite dreams and convey "peace, development and friendship" through sports.

Our military delegation is fighting at home this time, and it remains to be seen whether it can achieve good results again.

"Create military glory and build world peace"

2019 coincides with the 70th anniversary of the founding of People’s Republic of China (PRC). Holding a grand, warm, simple and pragmatic military games will be a gift to the 70th birthday of the motherland. This is the first time that China has hosted a comprehensive international military event, and it is also the largest international sports event held in China after the Beijing Olympic Games.

At that time, nearly 10,000 active servicemen from more than 100 countries will compete on the same stage. Our army will send more than 400 athletes to the 7th military world games.

"Creating military glory and building world peace" is the slogan of this military games, and we are ready. Let’s gather for peace, pass on friendship through sports, and look forward to a perfect game together in less than a week. (Source: News Network, Liberation Army Daily, China Military Network)

See "Descendants of the Sun" and you get dizzy? There are more handsome officers here.

    Xiaodian knows that all the girls have new husbands recently, and that many people have escaped Lee MinHo, Lee Jong Suk and Kim Soo Hyun, but they still haven’t escaped him.

 

    This is your new husband, Song Joong Ki, the actor of first hero YOO SI JIN, the hit Korean drama Descendants of the Sun.

    He just has a face value, a gas field and a figure ~

    Of course, there will be pick up hot chicks ↓

    Wearing a military uniform is domineering, when you don’t wear a military uniform ↓

    Of course, who is the heroine is also very important. If the female one is not a charming and lovely Song Hye Kyo, then it is estimated that the interaction between the two people is sweet and greasy, and everyone is not so excited.

    This drama is about the love story between YOO SI JIN, a peacekeeping soldier, and Mu-Yeon Kang, a doctor. Without the coy process in Korean dramas, the first two episodes have already completed the scenes of falling in love at first sight, hooking up with each other, falling in love, breaking up and reuniting. All kinds of love words and small romances between the two people in front of the screen are to abuse the whole world.

    However, if you like to watch the love between handsome officers and beautiful women, it’s not just Descendants of the Sun. There are also many combinations of male gods and goddesses in military uniforms on the big screen.

Pearl harbor

    In 2001, Hollywood blockbusters were shown in the mainland. In addition to the shocking war scenes, the love story between male one, male two and the heroine is remembered by more people today.

    Ben Affleck, who was only 28 years old at that time, played Rafe, a soldier of the US Air Force. The way he wore a uniform can make people forgive him now.

    Female No.1 was kate beckinsale, who was at the peak of her beauty at that time, and she was gorgeous. She plays Evelyn, a female nurse in a military hospital.

    Two people standing together is really "picturesque".

    The love story of three people is tangled, and Danny (josh hartnett), the second male, is also infatuated with the first female.

    Rafe and Evelyn fell in love. In a war, it was reported that the plane he was driving was shot down by the Germans and killed in the battlefield. His good brothers Danny and Evelyn fell in love with each other in comfort, and Evelyn was pregnant with their own flesh and blood. Who knows that Rafe didn’t die, but after he returned, he faced the situation that his lover and friends fell in love … and in the end, Danny died in the battlefield, and Rafe lived with Evelyn and her son.

    The love in this movie is very tragic. Evelyn, the No.1 female, has experienced the pain of losing her lover twice. Although she can finally get together with her original lover, the film’s reflection on the war is also very obvious.

    When it comes to the love between soldiers and beautiful women, this film is definitely one of the classics.

Waterloo Bridge



    When it comes to the classic love movie of an officer and a beauty, how can you forget this "Broken Blue Bridge" that has been said for decades?

    Lieutenant Roy, played by robert taylor, and Mara, played by Vivien Leigh, are one of the most well-matched screen couples so far. The goddess of goddess in Hollywood’s golden age contributed a screen image that can never be surpassed in the most beautiful years.


    Broken Blue Bridge is a heartbreaking tragedy. Dancer Mara fell in love with Lieutenant Roy, who was returning home for vacation, but learned that Roy was killed after he was recalled to the camp. Mara, who was fired after missing the performance of the troupe, lost everything in her life and was forced to become a prostitute in order to make a living. However, she met Roy who survived … Finally Mara chose to commit suicide on the bridge where they met.

    Decades later, this is still the love of the most beautiful officer and beauty.

Fury

    In Fury, Captain Don Collier played by Brad Pitt is absolutely first hero. Although his face is always dirty, any stop is a big gesture.

    Pete is not the only man in uniform in this film. logan lerman, a former fresh meat, plays Norman, a recruit.

    And Shia La Beouf, the hero of Transformers.

    There are not many love scenes in this film, only between the recruits played by logan lerman and the innocent German girls.

    Although the American and German troops are still at war, there is only a short stay and isolation between Norman, an American soldier, and a German girl. 

    Just after this brief warmth, German artillery shells were fired at their own people at random, and the house where the girl lived was razed to the ground. Norman completed his transformation in the war after experiencing such stimulation again and again.

Human poisoning

    The military romance in this play can be said to be a forbidden love. The Vietnam War hero officer Jin Zhenping (Song Seung Heon) falls in love with Jia Xin (Ji-yeon Im), the wife of a subordinate in the army. Because of its large scale, the film is listed as "19 Banned" in South Korea.

    Song Seung Heon Ouba’s uniform shape is also handsome in the sky ↓

    We dare not show you the forbidden love in the military camp and the larger picture.

    This play is called "the Korean version of Lust, Caution", and its scale can be imagined. However, despite the erotic coat, the officer played by Song Seung Heon was also under great mental pressure after the Vietnam War, so he indulged in an affair with the heroine. Therefore, in addition to the large-scale performance of male gods, the film’s reflection on war can not be ignored.

Wolf Warrior

    Last year, Jason Wu directed and starred in the military film "Wolf Warriors" which won a high box office. In the film, he played the special forces sniper cold front, which can be described as a "iron man". Jason Wu, who is good at kung fu himself, puts on a military uniform, and has a tough temperament of off the charts, thus becoming a uniformed male god with unique personality.

    Although the film is full of blood, there is still some love embellishment. Yu Nan plays the female boss Long Xiaoyun of Lengfeng in the film, and the sexy Yu Nan becomes a heroic female officer here.

    In the film, the brave but rebellious cold front caught the attention of the boss Long Xiaoyun, and there was a faint spark between them.

    After these movies, finally, let’s show the welfare at one time and have a look at the military uniform photos of your Obamas during their service.
