Xinzhou ancient city special food zhi

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the traditional Lantern Festival of the Chinese nation. Eating Lantern Festival, enjoying lanterns, solve riddles on the lanterns, lion dancing, walking on stilts, boating and dancing Yangko are a series of traditional folk activities during the Lantern Festival. On the fifteenth day of the first month, Lantern Festival is celebrated. From New Year’s Eve to the sixteenth day of the first month, a series of celebrations continued, pushing one climax after another. Streets and alleys are decorated with lanterns and colored lanterns, and eating Yuanxiao has become a custom that has been around for generations. Today, I will introduce another traditional food in Xinzhou ancient city-handmade Lantern Festival.

There is a gourmet shop specializing in making Yuanxiao at the mouth of the North-South Street in the west of the North Gate of Xinzhou Ancient City, opposite to Yishan Ci. The operator is Zhang Xiu, an employee of the former Xinzhou Food Factory (pastry factory). He has been working in a food factory (pastry factory) since he took part in the work. Later, his unit was restructured and he also contracted a food workshop for 78 years. He has been making traditional food Yuanxiao. After leaving the food industry for a few years, there was no self-produced Yuanxiao for sale in Xinzhou market. The platform of the ancient city allows the missing food to reappear, the self-produced Lantern Festival culture in Xinzhou to re-enter the market, and also allows citizens and tourists to taste the self-produced Lantern Festival in Xinzhou, which has been passed down for more than 100 years.

The making process of Yuanxiao is more complicated. In the south, people make glutinous rice balls, which are made by mixing glutinous rice flour with water and then wrapping the stuffing. The Lantern Festival made in the ancient city is made by frying black sesame seeds and crushing them, adding sesame oil, sugar, rose sauce or osmanthus sauce, mashing them into mud, freezing them, cutting cubes about 2 cm, soaking the cubes in cold water for three minutes, and shaking them in a laundry basket covered with dry glutinous rice flour for several times, so that more and more glutinous rice flour is stuck on the stuffing until the skin is uniform and the size is moderate. Their best ingredient, glutinous rice flour, comes from the super-grade water mill glutinous rice flour in Huaiyuan, Anhui Province. Before making Yuanxiao, it needs to be crushed and finely processed by the machine again. Yuanxiao has no additives from the inside out, and it is made by hand. The stuffing of Yuanxiao is thin, fresh, fragrant and sticky, and the skin is strong and chewy. It is a unique food in Xinzhou market. At present, Yuanxiao has two flavors: black sesame and osmanthus.

Yuanxiao can be cooked and eaten. After the water is boiled, it can be boiled twice and floated for three minutes. Can also be fried to eat, crisp appearance, sweet waxy inside. If you want to buy it back to eat, 13 yuan is a kilo. After eating it, several Taiyuan tourists were full of praise and wanted to buy five catties to take home for their families. Eating Yuanxiao means reunion, which symbolizes that the whole family is round and round, harmonious and happy. When the Lantern Festival comes, do you buy it and have a taste?

Financial asset investment companies welcome China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission to support the new regulations for docking asset management in the trillion-dollar debt-to-equity swap ma

  With the introduction of new regulations on asset management business of financial asset investment companies, the trillion-dollar debt-to-equity swap market will also usher in many changes. On May 6th, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the Notice on Matters Related to the Asset Management Business of Financial Asset Investment Companies (hereinafter referred to as the Notice), which clarified the matters related to the asset management business of financial asset investment companies (AIC) from the aspects of fund raising, investment operation, registration and custody, information disclosure and submission, which also marked a breakthrough in the realization system of asset management business of financial asset investment companies.

  Financial asset investment company is the implementation institution of bank debt-to-equity swap, which has emerged as a new financial format since June 2018. According to the Notice, the debt-to-equity swap investment plan of a financial asset investment company can apply for registration as a shareholder of the target company of debt-to-equity swap according to law. Insurance funds and pensions can be invested in the debt-to-equity swap investment plan according to law. When conducting asset management business, a financial asset investment company shall abide by the principles of calculable cost, controllable risk and full disclosure of information, and pay investors income according to the agreed conditions and actual investment income, without guaranteeing the principal payment and income level, and investors shall bear the investment risks and obtain income.

  "In fact, this is a part of the unified asset management policy. All kinds of asset management institutions can issue asset management products to qualified investors." According to the analysis of the asset management industry, this new regulation should be mainly aimed at aligning with the new asset management regulations for institutions such as financial asset investment companies, unifying standards, and further enriching the sources of funds for debt-to-equity swaps.

  Liao Yuanyuan, deputy director of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission Innovation Business Supervision Department, pointed out that the overall idea and main contents of the Notice are consistent with the core principles of the new asset management regulations. At the same time, the Notice focuses on solving the realistic needs of market-oriented fund-raising of financial asset investment companies, and puts forward more targeted regulatory provisions in combination with their own characteristics of asset management business, combining unified supervision with differentiated supervision, which not only ensures that asset management business can better support the implementation of debt-to-equity swap projects, but also has a significant role in promoting the healthy and orderly development of asset management business of financial asset investment companies.

  China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission data show that in the past two years, financial asset investment companies have actively and orderly carried out their business, and the amount of debt-to-equity swaps has exceeded 1 trillion yuan. Experts believe that the "Notice" is beneficial to both the capital end and the business end of financial asset investment companies, which is conducive to the better development of debt-to-equity swap business.

  Ceng Gang, deputy director of the National Finance and Development Laboratory, said that broadening the business scope of financial asset investment companies can alleviate the problem of funding sources that debt-to-equity swaps have been facing. Debt-to-equity swap requires relatively diversified funds, appropriate cost and long term, and can introduce more social funds, which is of course meaningful to the sustainable development of debt-to-equity swap.
