People’s governments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, ministries and commissions and institutions directly under the State Council:


   The State Council agreed with the State Planning Commission’s Report on the Current Price Situation and Measures to Control Price Rising in the Second Half of the Year, which is hereby forwarded to you, please implement it carefully.


Since the beginning of this year, all regions and departments have conscientiously implemented the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference and the Third Session of the Eighth National People’s Congress, resolutely implemented the various regulatory measures of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on curbing inflation and controlling price increases, and done a lot of work. The macroeconomic situation has continued to develop in a good direction, the trend of market price increases has been curbed, and the increase in retail prices has dropped month by month. However, the current price situation is still quite grim, and the task of realizing the annual price control target is quite arduous. All regions and departments must keep a clear head, and must not take it lightly and relax their requirements. We should continue to take curbing inflation and controlling price rise as the primary task of macroeconomic regulation and control this year, earnestly implement a series of regulatory measures to curb inflation and control price rise determined by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, adhere to moderately tight fiscal and monetary policies, strictly control the excessive growth of fixed assets investment and consumption funds, vigorously strengthen agriculture, strictly control the introduction of new price increase projects, and further implement and improve the target responsibility system for price control. All regions and departments should proceed from the overall situation, make more contributions to the realization of the national price control goal, and create conditions for maintaining the good momentum of national economic development and making the Ninth Five-Year Plan have a good macro environment.

On the current price situation and price control in the second half of the year


Report on measures to be taken to rise


 


The State Council:


   According to the spirit of the instructions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on continuing to do a good job in controlling price increases,fivemoon30SolsticesixmoononeOn, the State Planning Commission held a national symposium of price directors in Beijing, analyzed the price situation since this year and its future trend, summed up and exchanged experiences in curbing inflation and controlling price increases in various places, and studied and put forward further measures and policy suggestions to ensure the realization of this year’s price control targets. The relevant situation is now reported as follows:


   A basic estimate of the price situation since this year


   Since the beginning of this year, all regions and departments have conscientiously implemented the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference and strengthened their leadership over price work, and the market price increase has dropped month by month. Compared with the same period of last year,fiveIn September, the national retail price index was17.6%, compared with the previous yeartwelveThe increase in June fell back.5.6Percentage points. Price increases have declined to varying degrees in various places, including Beijing, Tianjin, Guangdong, Hainan, Shanghai and Anhui.sixProvinces and citiesfiveThe retail price increase in January has fallen back to15%Below;35The average retail price increase in 20 large and medium-sized cities has dropped to15.1%.


   However, the degree of improvement in the price situation since this year cannot be overestimated. First, although the price increase has dropped, the increase is still very high. Compared with the same period of last year, this yearonefiveThe national retail price index is still as high as19%The national consumer price increase is still as high as.21.7%And the rate of decline in price increases has slowed down month by month. At the same time, the price index calculated on a month-on-month basis also rebounded. This year,onefiveIn January, the national retail price index rose respectively from last month.3.0%1.8%0.0%0.7%and0.2%This calculation has constituted a new price increase this year.fiveMore than a percentage point. Second, the decline in price increases in various regions is very uneven, and the decline in most regions is not obvious enough.fiveThere are still monthsfiveRetail prices in 20 provinces and autonomous regions rose in20%Above, the highest increase(Ningxia Wei21.4%)Compared with the lowest(Tianjin is11.4%)tower above10Percentage points. The slow decline of the increase in these areas is due to the low price base and the lag of price increase, as well as management reasons. In some places, on the one hand, the price index is very high, and on the other hand, new price increase projects continue to be introduced without authorization. Third, prices in rural areas are still rising. From last yearfourSince June, the price increase in rural areas has been continuous.14Next month is higher than the city. this yearonefiveIn September, the retail price index of rural commodities rose compared with the same period of last year.21.6%, higher than the city4.5Percentage points, affecting the national retail price increase.1.9Percentage points.


   Second, the favorable conditions and difficulties of controlling price increases in the second half of the year


   In the second half of this year, the general trend of price increase will further decline. First, the impact of last year’s price hikes will be significantly weakened. According to estimates by the National Bureau of Statistics, the impact of last year’s price increase on this year’s hikes averaged about in the first half of the year.14.5Percentage points, the second half of the year will weaken to the average.fiveAbout a percentage point. Second, the state adheres to a moderately tight monetary and fiscal policy, and will take further measures to strictly control the scale of investment in fixed assets, especially new projects, and strengthen macro-control and supervision and management of consumer funds. Third, the central government has decided not to introduce new price adjustment measures in principle in the second half of this year. Fourth, governments at all levels have further increased their investment in agriculture, the area planted with grain has increased, and the area of vegetable fields in urban suburbs has expanded. In addition, the state has taken control measures such as suspending grain exports, increasing grain imports, and selling corn to stabilize feed prices, so that the tight supply of some major agricultural products will be alleviated. Fifth, most domestic industrial products for daily use are well supplied and sold normally, and residents’ consumption behavior tends to be reasonable. Sixth, the target responsibility system for price control has been generally established in various places, and various measures to strengthen price supervision have been gradually implemented. Therefore, if there are no major natural disasters in the second half of this year, and all macro-control measures can be implemented, it is possible to achieve the annual price control goal.


   At the same time, it should be noted that it is necessary to control the annual price increase in15%About the goal, the difficulty is still not small. Mainly manifested in:


   First, social demand is still growing too fast, and the main factors of inflation have not been eliminated. Since the beginning of this year, the State Council has not approved new large and medium-sized infrastructure projects, but there are still many new infrastructure projects approved by local governments.onefiveNew fixed assets investment projects started by state-owned units nationwide in June.13713An increase over the same period last year.2829A, investment scale growth57.2%.onefiveThe wage expenditure of the national bank increased in September compared with the same period of last year.25.77%Although the increase has declined, considering the increase in the total retail sales of consumer goods in society,31.4%And residents bought it1100At the same time, savings deposits have also increased.3055100 million yuan, indicating that there are still many consumer fund expenditures that violate the regulations.


   Second, the agricultural foundation is weak, food prices have been rising so far, and non-staple food prices.


The lattice lurks the danger of fluctuation. Judging from the "rice bag",fiveThe purchase price of grain continued to rise in February, and the average market price of four main agricultural products, such as wheat, rice, corn and soybean, was $100,000.50kilogram10053Yuan, up from last month.2.9%. Judging from the "vegetable basket", at present, vegetables are abundant in most areas, and the prices of vegetables, pigs and eggs have dropped. However, due to the excessive rise in corn prices, some areas have suffered losses in raising pigs and chickens, and they are not active in replenishing the basket. If the relevant control measures are not in place in time, the supply of non-staple food may be tight after entering the third quarter, and the price of "vegetable basket" may rebound. Judging from the prices of agricultural means of production,onefiveThe month of last year is higher than the same period of last year.30.2%It is also possible to further promote the price increase of agricultural products.


   Third, there is great pressure from all sides to adjust prices. Since last yeareightSince September, the state has basically not introduced new price adjustment measures, but this year, with the price increase falling month by month, the voice of some regions and departments demanding price adjustment measures has risen again, especially in coastal areas and big cities where the price increase has dropped significantly.


   Fourth, the disorder of market circulation has not been fundamentally reversed, and arbitrary charges and arbitrary price increases will still add fuel to the price increase. The disorder of market circulation is one of the important reasons for the excessive price increase in recent years. In the market circulation of grain, cotton and fertilizer, problems such as illegal operation, reselling and price increase at different levels are still serious in some places.


   A comprehensive analysis of various factors in current economic life requires greater determination and more solid work to ensure the realization of this year’s price control targets.


   Three, do everything possible to ensure the realization of this year’s price control targets.


   Ensure that the national retail price increase this year has dropped significantly compared with last year, and strive to control it.15%Around, this is a major event related to the overall economic development and social stability. In the second half of this year, we should continue to take curbing inflation and controlling price increases as the primary task of macro-control and the key link to correctly handle the relationship between reform, development and stability. We should continue to strictly control the newly introduced price increase projects and further strengthen price supervision. Specifically put forward the following measures:


   (one)Further implement the target responsibility system for price control. Governments at all levels should establish a target responsibility system for price control, and the main leading comrades should personally grasp the price work. It is necessary to organize all departments to work together, make concerted efforts, and implement the responsibility of controlling prices. First of all, we should take practical measures to strictly control the scale of investment in fixed assets and effectively improve the investment efficiency. Secondly, we should continue to strengthen the supervision and management of consumer funds and strictly control the excessive growth of consumer funds. The State Planning Commission and the National Bureau of Statistics should continue to make monthly announcements of all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government and35The work of retail price index in a large and medium-sized city urges local governments to control prices well. At the same time, according to the requirements of the State Council, it is necessary to do a good job in the special inspection of the implementation of national price control measures in the near future, sum up experience, find out the gap, and truly put the various control measures of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on curbing inflation and controlling price increases in place.


   (two)Strict discipline, strictly control the introduction of new price adjustment projects. We must strictly control the introduction of price increase projects and focus on establishing and improving the macro-control system of prices. According to the decision of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, no new price adjustment measures will be introduced in the second half of this year in principle. Where all localities and departments introduce price increase projects without authorization, the leaders concerned shall be held accountable.


   (three)Stabilize the purchase and sale prices of grain. Stabilizing food prices is the most important thing to stabilize the whole price. In the second half of the year, we should continue to implement the spirit of the Notice of the State Council on Continuing to Do a Good Job in Stabilizing Grain and Oil Prices. The purchase price of grain ordered by the state will not be adjusted this year, and the out-of-price subsidies adopted by some places should be allocated by local finance or allocated from grain risk funds in strict accordance with state regulations, and bank loans or accounts should not be diverted, nor should they be passed on to grain enterprises. State-owned grain enterprises should strictly implement policies to ensure that the ordered grain is used for the supply of residents’ rations, and it is strictly forbidden to increase the price and resell it without authorization. The sales price of standard rice and flour for urban residents and other basic rations managed by the government should remain stable and cannot be raised. The price difference and loss caused by stabilizing the grain selling price shall be compensated by all localities from the grain risk fund; If the fund is insufficient, the local finance should allocate additional subsidies. It is necessary to improve the methods of grain supply, strengthen the management of grain sales, and ensure that low-income residents can really enjoy the rations supplied by the government at preferential prices. All localities should take appropriate measures to control the prices of grain products and light industrial products with grain as raw materials.


   (four)Strive to keep the price of non-staple food stable. Governments at all levels should continue to make great efforts to strengthen the construction of the "vegetable basket" project, ensure the vegetable planting area and do a good job in market supply. It is necessary to encourage farmers to sell vegetables directly in cities, reduce the links in vegetable management, rectify various fees in vegetable management, and popularize the experience of moderately flexible differential management of vegetable prices in Shenzhen and other places in order to stabilize vegetable prices. At present, special attention should be paid to the production, supply and price stabilization of live pigs and eggs, and all localities should conscientiously implement the requirements of the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on the Use of State-specially Stored Corn to Stabilize Feed Prices and Stabilize Pig Production, so that this batch of corn can really play a role in stabilizing feed prices. According to the reasonable price of pig food, the protective price of pig purchase should be formulated, and the capital needs of commercial enterprises to purchase pigs should be guaranteed, and commercial departments should be supported to purchase more and reserve more, so as to implement the protective price. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of meat market, expand market throughput, and make full use of the leading role of state-owned commerce in increasing market supply and stabilizing market prices. It is necessary to make full use of the non-staple food price adjustment fund to stabilize production and stabilize prices. Cities that have not yet established a non-staple food price adjustment fund should pay close attention to it and strive to do so by the end of this year.60Large cities with a population of more than 10,000 can set up non-staple food price adjustment funds.


   (five)Efforts should be made to increase fertilizer production and effectively stabilize fertilizer prices. Fertilizer enterprises should continue to produce at full capacity and strive to increase market supply. All regions and relevant departments should do everything possible to ensure the supply of raw materials and electricity needed for fertilizer production. Fertilizer production and management enterprises should strictly implement the prescribed ex-factory price and sales price, and shall not raise prices without authorization. We should continue to rectify the circulation channels of chemical fertilizers, and prohibit illegal operation and reselling. Currently available13A province(District and city)The practice of linking planned fertilizer sales with grain and cotton orders has played an important role in stabilizing fertilizer prices and ensuring fertilizer supply, and all localities should actively promote it.


   (six)In view of the weak links, strengthen rural price management. The high price increase in rural areas is not only strongly reflected by farmers, but also adversely affects agricultural production and rural stability, and also adversely affects the realization of the national price control goal. All localities should effectively stabilize counties.(city)Price management agencies, and strengthen the county(city)The focus of price work is on rural market management, supporting agriculture, promoting agriculture and protecting farmers’ interests. In addition to strengthening the management of fertilizer prices, all localities should also take measures to effectively stabilize the prices of agricultural films and pesticides. It is necessary to strengthen the price management of grain and cotton purchase links, ensure the implementation of the national order price, stop the low-pressure price reduction and price increase of agricultural products, do a good job in the convergence of regional prices, and prevent regional blockades. It is necessary to strengthen the management of townships and rural markets, do a good job in the supply and marketing of grain, non-staple food, materials and building materials, and maintain the basic stability of prices. We must continue to control arbitrary charges and prohibit illegal apportionment to farmers.


   (seven)Rectify the circulation order and strengthen price supervision. We should continue to strengthen the supervision and examination of people’s basic necessities and service prices, and further improve and implement various supervision and examination measures such as price increase declaration, filing and slip control. We should focus on people’s daily necessities, do a good job in market price inspection, and resolutely stop illegal activities such as shoddy food, oil, meat, eggs, vegetables and other people’s daily necessities, cheating customers, adulterating and making fakes. We should seize typical profiteering and fraud, severely punish them, expose them publicly, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.


   If the above opinions are not improper, it is suggested that the State Council transmit them to all regions and departments for implementation.

Environmental tax will be levied next month! Do not withdraw from the historical stage by personal sewage charges.

  BEIJING, Dec. 29 (Reporter Qiu Yuzhongqing) On January 1, 2018, China was the first one-way tax law to promote the construction of ecological civilization — — The Environmental Protection Tax Law will be formally implemented, which also means that the sewage charge system that has been implemented for nearly 40 years will withdraw from the historical stage.

  Do ordinary residents have to pay environmental taxes? Are the collection standards the same everywhere? What changes will "fee to tax" bring to enterprises? Zhongxin. com has combed and interpreted this.

  Do individuals have to pay environmental taxes?

  The Environmental Protection Tax Law stipulates that enterprises, institutions and other producers and operators that directly discharge taxable pollutants into the environment in People’s Republic of China (PRC) and other sea areas under the jurisdiction of People’s Republic of China (PRC) are taxpayers of environmental protection tax, and they shall pay environmental protection tax in accordance with the provisions of this law.

  In other words, ordinary residents are not included in the scope of taxation and do not have to pay environmental taxes. According to local media reports, the responsible persons of tax authorities in Hebei, Jiangxi, Anhui and other places have made it clear that individual residents do not pay environmental protection tax.

  When do you start paying taxes?

  Zhongxin. com reporter learned from State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China that the first collection period of environmental protection tax will be around April next year, not to say that tax returns will be started after January 1st.

  In this regard, Shi Zhengwen, director of the Finance and Tax Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, pointed out in an interview that the environmental protection tax is "calculated on a monthly basis and declared quarterly", and the reporting period and the time when the specific tax obligation occurs are two different things.

  Shi Zhengwen said that the tax calculation began on January 1, but the declaration was from April 1 to 15. During this half-month period, enterprises had to declare their taxes.

  What pollutants are taxed?

  The Environmental Protection Tax Law clearly states that air pollutants, water pollutants, solid waste and noise are listed as taxable pollutants.

  Taxable air pollutants include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, chlorine gas, etc. Taxable water pollutants include total mercury, total cadmium, total lead, petroleum, animal and vegetable oils, formaldehyde, etc.

  It is worth noting that noise refers to industrial noise according to the Table of Items and Taxes of Environmental Protection Tax attached to the Environmental Protection Tax Law. This means that construction noise and traffic noise are not included in the scope of collection.

  According to the Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Noise Pollution, environmental noise refers to the sound produced in industrial production, construction, transportation and social life that interferes with the surrounding living environment.

  Among them, industrial noise refers to the sound that interferes with the surrounding living environment when using fixed equipment in industrial production activities; Construction noise refers to the sound that interferes with the surrounding living environment during construction.

  How much do you pay?

  According to the Environmental Protection Tax Law, the amount of environmental protection tax has both an upper limit and a lower limit. The tax range of air pollutants is from 1.2 yuan to 12 yuan per pollution equivalent, and that of water pollutants is from 1.4 yuan to 14 yuan per pollution equivalent.

  Pollution equivalent refers to a comprehensive index or unit of measurement to measure the environmental pollution caused by different pollutants according to the harmful degree of pollutants or pollution discharge activities to the environment and the technical economy of treatment.

  For example, in terms of industrial noise, different decibels exceed the standard, and the monthly tax levied is different. For example, if it exceeds the standard by 1-3 decibels, 350 yuan will exceed the standard by more than 16 decibels per month, and it will cost 11,200 yuan per month.

  Is the tax payment standard the same everywhere?

  According to the Environmental Protection Tax Law, each province has certain discretion in the specific applicable tax amount of air pollutants and water pollutants. In other words, the specific tax payment standards may be different from place to place.

  "This is equivalent to giving local governments greater discretion," Shi Zhengwen said. "The Environmental Protection Tax Law mentions three factors, namely, the environmental carrying capacity of the local area, the current situation of pollutant discharge and the requirements of economic, social and ecological development goals. According to these three factors, local governments determine the specific applicable tax amount, which varies greatly among different provinces."

  Among them, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding provinces generally set higher taxes on air pollutants and water pollutants. The applicable tax amount of taxable air pollutants in Beijing is 12 yuan per pollution equivalent, and the applicable tax amount of taxable water pollutants is 14 yuan per pollution equivalent, both of which are implemented according to the upper limit of tax range stipulated in the Environmental Protection Tax Law.

  Will it increase the burden on enterprises?

  The relevant person in charge of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China told the reporter of Zhongxin.com that the environmental protection tax was jointly promoted by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation. According to the standard of "shifting taxes and fees", the past sewage charges were directly converted into environmental protection taxes. Of course, generally speaking, the design of policies is not aimed at collecting money, but mainly to stimulate the awareness of environmental protection and boost the consciousness of environmental protection.

  The person in charge of the Regulation Department of the Ministry of Environmental Protection said that changing the sewage charges into environmental taxes is conducive to improving the rigidity of law enforcement, reducing local government intervention and internalizing environmental costs. Environmental protection tax is levied according to the amount of emissions, with more emissions and more payments, less emissions and less payments, which is conducive to promoting enterprises to improve their environmental protection level and reduce pollutant emissions.

  Does the environmental protection tax belong to the local government or the central government?

  On December 27th, the State Council issued the Notice on the Ownership of Environmental Protection Tax Revenue, which made it clear that environmental protection tax was local revenue.

  The circular pointed out that in order to promote the protection and improvement of the environment and increase investment in environmental protection, the State Council decided to use all environmental protection taxes as local income.

  The current sewage charges are divided between the central and local governments by 1: 9. Wang Jianfan, director of the Department of Taxation and Administration of the Ministry of Finance, pointed out earlier that in order to mobilize local enthusiasm, considering that local governments bear the main responsibility for pollution control, it is planned to take all environmental taxes as local income, and the central government will no longer participate in the sharing.

Diablo 3 necromancer skills how to match necromancer equipment recommendation.

Diablo 3 is an action role-playing game owned by Blizzard. Necromancer’s skill combination recommends plague ice gun stream and toxic bone spear stream, and equipment recommends the grace of Sanzang Inarius, the incarnation of blood set Tagao and the bone armor of pet set Rathma, all of which are very powerful.

Diablo 3 necromancer’s equipment skill collocation is as follows:

Skill collocation

1. Plague ice gun flow

The active skills, passive skills and gouyu collocation of plague ice gun flow are as follows. The skill collocation of necromancer mainly realizes the effect of quick drawing through corpse spear and fragility. The advantage of this skill combination is that it can quickly brush the map. When the corpse spear is matched with fragile collision, it will increase the critical strike probability of the corpse spear to the enemy and achieve the deceleration effect. Weakness, with the blessing of Gouyu’s hungry grave, will consume 10% of the Necromancer’s blood, but the standard blood of the vulnerable enemy can be increased from 15% to 18%, which will enable ordinary players to quickly brush through the first 100 layers of the Great Mystery. In the actual experience, although the Necromancer’s plague ice gun stream can achieve the effect of extreme drawing, this set of skills pays great attention to the players’ skill cooling, attack speed and the recovery of the spirit. The recovery of the spirit can be achieved through the realm of the dead and devouring, while the skill cooling and attack speed require players to work harder on equipment and gems, so as to achieve the ultimate painting effect.

2. Toxic bone spear flow

The active skills, passive skills and gouyu of toxic bone spear flow are as follows. This skill is to use bone spear (dead bone marrow) to brush the picture. It is understood that the bone spear (dead bone marrow) can improve the output damage of the bone spear. In the case of passive skill bone spur proliferation, the output damage of the bone spear can be increased to about 515%~535%. Coupled with the coma effect of the bone nail (bone dislocation) and the freezing effect of the dead field (dead cold land), it is also convenient for players to control the whole monster. As for the advantage of this set of skills, it is that the control effect is better and the ability to survive and recover is stronger. The weakness is that the cooling time of control skills is relatively long. Even if the passive skill "Desperate Loyalty" is added, it is difficult to change the shortcomings of this skill set.

Equipment collocation

1. Santa Claus — — Enze in Inarius

Because of its global injury increase of up to 2750%, the holy sleeve is very lubricated in fitting, and it is very enjoyable whether it is corpse gun, corpse explosion, Galaxy gem special effect or pet flow.

2. Blood sleeve — — Tago’s incarnation

Although the blood set was overshadowed by the holy set in the single-player mode, it was very popular in the team mode, and the utilization rate was amazing.

3. Pet condoms — — Rathma’s bone armor

At present, pet covers have some problems, such as stuck, inefficient injury reduction, and sudden death Bug of pets, so the pet covers have fallen out of the first-line play of necromancers. However, according to the test suit data, after the pet covers are repaired or enhanced, they will still perform well and even return to the mainstream ranks of necromancers.

Creative judgment of utility model patent

Patent involved

editorial comment/note

Recently, a series of requests for invalidation for the utility model patent of "Integrated Self-timer Device" of Yuandesheng have attracted wide attention in the industry. To this end, this newspaper specially invites experts to clarify the relevant examination standards and principles in the patent invalidation procedure in combination with the focus of controversy in the case, and explore why the patent is "invalid", in order to help enterprises improve the quality of patents and improve the level of protection.

Creativity is one of the substantive conditions for an invention to be granted a patent right, and it is the legal issue with the highest proportion involved in the substantive examination of patent application, patent invalidation procedure and patent administrative cases, so its examination standard has also become the most concerned issue for patent applicants or patentees, courts and even the public.

Fact finding in creative judgment

In the examination practice, because the utility model patent involves the specific structure of the product, it is difficult to avoid the comparison between the specific technical features of the technical scheme when comparing the features. If the specific technical features are isolated and the integrity of the technical scheme is split in the comparison process, simply and mechanically comparing the words will lead to unclear facts and affect the conclusion of the examination. This problem is fully reflected in a series of patent invalidation request cases of "integrated selfie device", and objectively and accurately identifying the facts is the basis for the case to draw a correct conclusion.

In the case of a series of patent invalidation requests for "integrated selfie device", the core technical content of the patent involved is that "the stage is provided with a notch, the clamping mechanism is provided with a bending part corresponding to the notch position, and the telescopic rod can be accommodated in the notch and the bending part after being folded", which is recorded in Claim 2 of the patent involved. The claim defines that the notch on the object table corresponds to the bending part on the clamping mechanism, and the notch and the bending part form a space for accommodating the folded telescopic rod, which saves more space for accommodating the selfie stick and realizes the beneficial effect of convenient carrying. During the trial of the case, whether the above-mentioned bending part was made public by the existing technology became the focus of dispute between the two parties. The author will analyze how to identify the fact that the comparison document was made public from two aspects.

1. Comparison of features with the same words.

In one of the requests for invalidation, the claimant used the utility model patent with the invention name "A shooting device clamping device of hand-held remote control shooting device" as evidence (hereinafter referred to as Evidence 1) to comment on the creativity of Claim 2. The petitioner thinks that Evidence 1 discloses that the clamping structure includes a movable rod 3, both ends of which are arranged in two supporting arms in a stretchable manner, and the middle part of which is provided with a bending structure 31, and the bending mechanism 31 is located above the objective table, that is, Evidence 1 discloses the technical scheme of setting a bending part on the clamping mechanism.

Through careful analysis of the contents disclosed in Evidence 1, it is not difficult to find that the middle opening of the bending structure in Evidence 1 is used to engage with the groove on the handle, and the handle is fixed in the middle of the movable rod to facilitate the up-and-down movement of the movable rod, thus clamping the shooting equipment. This is completely different from the function and function of the bending part in the patent involved: the bending part of the patent involved has a U-shaped opening, which together with the notch on the stage forms a storage space for accommodating the folded telescopic rod, thus realizing the miniaturization and portability of the selfie stick. Therefore, although the bending structure in Evidence 1 is similar to the bending part of the patent involved in the case in terms of words and structure, the bending structure in Evidence 1 is used for coupling with the handle, and after it is fixedly connected with the handle, it no longer has any space and cannot be used for storage. Therefore, it can’t be considered that Evidence 1 discloses the bending part of the patent involved, and it doesn’t give the technical enlightenment for its acceptance.

2. Identification of the public contents of the attached drawings

In another request for invalidation, the claimant used a patent for utility model named "a hand-held remote control device for shooting" as evidence (hereinafter referred to as Evidence 2), and once again commented on the creativity of Claim 2. The petitioner believes that Figure 5 of Evidence 2 shows that the end of the fixing frame is provided with a bending part with a large opening, which is the bending part involved in the patent involved.

In patent application documents, the appended drawings are an integral part of the specification, and their function is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical scheme of the invention or utility model. However, only the technical features that can be directly determined from the attached drawings are public contents, and the contents inferred from the attached drawings should not be regarded as public contents.

Attached Figure 5 of Evidence 2 shows the schematic diagram of the connection between the mobile phone holder and the remote control shooting device, in which the mobile phone holder includes a holder and a connecting platform, the holder is used for placing the shooting device, and the connecting platform is used for connecting with the remote control shooting handle. Figure 5 does show that there is a bending part with the same structure as the patent involved in the case in the middle of the fixing frame, but there is no explanation about this bending part in the description of Evidence 2, and according to the analysis and understanding of the full text of Evidence 2, it can be judged that this bending part cannot be used to form a storage space, because the mobile phone fixing frame in Evidence 2 is connected with the remote control handle through the first connecting part, which is a threaded connector. The remote control handle connected by thread can’t be folded, and Evidence 2 doesn’t need to solve the storage space problem in the process of folding the selfie stick, so the setting of the bending part can’t be to solve the technical problems to be solved by the patents involved. Therefore, only on the basis of the structure shown in Figure 5 of Evidence 2, the technicians in this field can’t directly and undoubtedly determine that this structural feature can achieve the same effect as the bending part in the patent involved, and Evidence 2 does not disclose the bending part in Claim 2.

In a word, accurate fact finding is an important basis for correct feature comparison and objective review conclusion. The fact that the technical scheme disclosed in the prior art cannot be simply taken out of context, but should be considered from the perspective of the technical personnel in this field as a whole, and the technical characteristics and functions of the technical scheme should be considered as a whole, so as to accurately compare the characteristics and objectively judge the creativity of the claim. That is to say, for the technical features that support each other in function and have an interactive relationship, the technical features should be considered as a whole.

Influence of protection scope on creativity

The scope of protection of the patent right should match the technological contribution of the invention-creation. If the scope of protection is too large, it obviously exceeds the technological contribution of the invention-creation, which will easily lead to the invalidation of the claim because it is not creative at the stage of invalidation request.

As far as the case of patent invalidation request for "integrated self-timer device" series is concerned, first of all, independent claim 1 defines a larger scope. In independent claim 1, the preamble defines the characteristics of the usual self-timer device, including the telescopic rod and the clamping device, which includes the objective table and the stretchable clamping mechanism, and the connection relationship between the telescopic rod and the clamping device is defined in the characteristic part. That is, "the clamping device is integrally connected to the top end of the telescopic rod", which embodies the difference from the background technology. However, in the trial process of invalidation, it was disclosed by the prior art because it covered a large protection range, so it was declared invalid.

Secondly, the dependent claim 2 embodies the main innovation of the patent involved, that is, the notch on the stage and the bending part corresponding to the notch on the clamping mechanism form a space for accommodating the folded telescopic rod, and the telescopic rod can be directly accommodated in the notch on the stage and the bending part of the clamping mechanism after use, which can solve the technical problems of better accommodating the selfie stick and being convenient to carry. The remaining dependent claims 3-13 refer to claim 2 directly or indirectly, so that even if claim 1 is invalid due to too large a scope of protection, other dependent claims 3-13 can remain valid while dependent claim 2 remains valid.

To sum up, combined with the problem of fact finding in creative judgment, this paper focuses on the analysis of the reasons why Claim 2 was kept valid in the series of cases of "self-timer" invalidation request. Because Claims 3-13 directly or indirectly quoted Claim 2, Claims 2-13 were declared to be kept valid, which benefited from the patent involved’s well-defined patent layout, which reasonably determined the protection scope of the claim.

From the perspective of patent layout, the patents involved are based on a single technical point to construct a combination of claims to effectively protect innovative technologies. Although it is only a single technical point, the layout of claims takes into account the main innovation points, necessary technical characteristics, singleness and other factors, taking into account the principle of layered protection, narrowing the protection scope of claims layer by layer, and the layout ideas are clear and reasonable.

Competition film Great Expectations: An Disillusionment in the Adaptation of Famous Works


The 2012 edition of Great Expectations is conservative and traditional.

    Movie network news Compared with the dazzling skills, exaggeration and excessive changes in the adaptation of famous works in recent years, the 2012 editionGreat expectationsAppearing conservative and traditional, director mike newell shows the growth track of the protagonist Pip step by step according to the chronological order of the original works. However, it is an impossible task to include a literary masterpiece, especially an epic about growth and changes of the times, with the duration of a film. Expect again and again, but always get disappointed again and again. Perhaps, just as the upper class is to Pip, it is just an illusory dream to adapt the film without seeking transcendence but reaching the original.

    Director Mike must have thought that all the audience had seen the original work, so he only chose a few important paragraphs, which also made the rhythm of the film very out of step, and the personality change and complicated relationship between the characters could not be explained clearly, leaving regrets. Pip’s way of growing up is actually to know love, money, class, humanity and redemption step by step. It is Dickens’ interpretation of all this, but every part of the story in the movie is missing something, and it is over before the climax, leaving only us off the screen, with an empty sense of nothingness to the subtitles. In the movie, Pip had an instant epiphany in the face of life changes and spiritual shocks, which saved all the entanglements and struggles, which made the embarrassment of being ridiculed, the pain of losing loved ones and the repentance of starting over not enough to touch people’s hearts and lose the power of the original text.

    The swamp where the story begins and the countryside in Kent are quiet and beautiful, but the protagonist Pip’s shortness of breath and footsteps seem so uncoordinated. The sudden jump out of the prisoners hiding in the cemetery breaks this tranquility and changes Pip’s life from now on. Especially when I think back after I know the ending, I hope that time will pass slowly and then slowly. Even if I have a poor life and my sister’s beating and scolding, at least I have enough food and clothing and my brother-in-law’s protection. Just at that time, Pip didn’t know ordinary happiness. In front of the arrogant and beautiful noble lady, he just wanted to get into the upper class and exchange his "great future" for his sweetheart’s favor, but he didn’t know that such a future ruined his life. In his "ideal life", the narrow old streets of London make people feel bad, and the camera is aimed at the dirty mess in Little Britain. The so-called "great expectations" are also concentrated in exquisite and exaggerated aristocratic costumes and seemingly boring parties in the upper class. This irony should have been the protagonist’s experience after many experiences, but it is too superficial and deliberate in front of the camera.

    Dickens wrote two endings for Great Expectations, which were originally gloomy and sad, but under the pressure of the publishing house, there was another happy ending as described in the film. The audience who like romantic love may applaud and believe that this is true love, but this love with too many impurities is hard to impress everyone. Director Mike and screenwriter david nicholls’s choice of ending is also doomed to lose the recognition of some audiences.

    Fortunately, the restoration of the key points of the original, the exquisite dialogue, the retro British accent and the street view with a sense of the times, as well as the performances of Ralph Fiennes and helena carter, are enough to make this film qualify as a tribute to Dickens. In particular, Pip’s confession to Estella is a classic, which makes the listeners all moved. Ralph Fiennes’s appearance is not much, but it is one of the hidden main lines, and it is also the mainstay of this tome. Helena carter imitates tim burton’s "Corpse Bride" and the defeated "Queen of Spades". Although she occasionally feels a little jumpy, she still vividly displays the pale, thin, mysterious and weird image of a bad woman. Herbert, Pip’s good friend, is extremely dramatic in many supporting roles, even more vivid and lovely than Pip. No matter when he appeared as a child or grew up, he always brought people happy laughter, which also made the depressed story have a glimmer of light.

Be alert! Your express bill information is "streaking" seriously!

During the two sessions this year, Jin Keke, a representative of the Municipal People’s Congress, submitted a proposal on "privacy list". In his view, express delivery companies should implement privacy sheets as soon as possible, implement the legal obligation to protect personal sensitive information, and put a "protective suit" on each personal information attached to the express parcel.

Put on "protective clothing" for personal information attached to express parcels.

With the rapid development of Internet economy, convenient online shopping has become an increasingly important channel for consumers. However, while enjoying the convenience brought by express delivery service, users are also deeply troubled by the problem of personal information leakage:

Today, with the full popularity of express delivery in real-name registration system, a small express delivery list contains all kinds of user information, which makes the express delivery list the hardest hit area for user information leakage and provides the possibility for illegal telecom activities such as online fraud.

"Privacy Sheet" service is not the default.

What is a "privacy sheet"?

Many users have experienced such a courier service, that is, using "asterisk number" or "smiley face number" instead of the middle mobile phone number and user name on the courier list to protect users’ personal privacy information.

As early as 2017, some express delivery companies and express delivery platforms tried to launch "privacy sheets": some "privacy sheets" replaced the middle four digits of the recipient’s mobile phone number with asterisks; Some "privacy sheets" not only do not display the mobile phone number, but also hide the specific address. However, several years have passed, and the popularity of "privacy sheets" is not high. The electronic sheets of parcels received and sent by users still generally show the recipient’s name, telephone number and detailed address completely.

According to the survey in Jin Keke, among the 12 mainstream express delivery companies in the market, only a few express delivery companies provide customers with privacy services.

What is the application of "Privacy Sheet"? The reporter also made some investigations.

On the shelf of a fast bird station on Tianshan Road, the reporter saw more than 40 express parcels, only 5 of which were hidden in the middle of the personal mobile phone number.

According to the staff of the station, in the express delivery he actually received, "privacy sheet" rarely appeared.

In fact, many express delivery companies are still implementing "privacy orders", but the service methods are different.

Companies represented by Tmall Supermarket provide users with "private sticky notes", and users need to stick the stickers on the information they want to hide themselves. A few courier companies list "hide the middle digits of the mobile phone number" and "only display the last name without displaying the first name" as the default options.

However, the "privacy list" service of most courier companies is not the default service, and users should choose this service independently when sending the mail if necessary.

For example, the user information on the general list is not hidden by default. The reporter entered Zhongtong’s WeChat Express applet, chose to make an appointment to send the mail, clicked the "value-added service" option at the bottom of the page and saw the "security number" button. The customer service said that after the "security number" is turned on, part of the printed user information will be replaced by "*".

Users need to check the "security number" in the value-added service to enjoy the privacy face-to-face service.

Yunda Express also requires users to choose the "Privacy Face Sheet" service independently. The reporter opens the delivery page of Yunda Express applet and clicks on the column of "Value-added Services". There are options such as privacy face sheet, payment collection, and return of signature, which the user should actively check, and the default page is not to select privacy face sheet service.

On Taobao, Tik Tok and other live broadcast platforms, when reporters place an order for shopping, most of them don’t have the option of "privacy menu", and they can only hope that the shipper will choose the "privacy menu" service.

The "Privacy Sheet" in value-added services is not the default, so you need to check it actively.

The reporter also interviewed a number of consumers, most of whom said:

The reason why you don’t choose the "privacy face sheet" service is not that you don’t care about information leakage, but that you can’t find the entrance to choose the service, or you have never heard of this service at all.

Increase the risk of personal information disclosure

In the face of information "streaking" express delivery, most consumers’ awareness of self-protection is not strong.

The reporter found that on a small courier list, from the name to the contact information to the address, the information of the sender and the recipient is "at a glance". Some users will tear down the list and destroy it after receiving the courier. Users who don’t care will discard it at will. Especially during the epidemic period, after receiving the express delivery, users mostly throw the outer packaging with the face sheet outdoors for cautious reasons, so that people with ulterior motives can take advantage of it.

The absence of privacy measures for express delivery orders greatly increases the risk of disclosure of personal sensitive information.

According to media reports, a considerable number of criminals have used express delivery forms to collect personal information for various types of illegal and criminal activities. Especially during the epidemic, a large number of elderly people learned to buy daily necessities through e-commerce platforms, and this group is also the most vulnerable to telecom fraud.

Why do express delivery companies hide in the setting of "privacy list"?

In Jin Keke’s view, express delivery companies turn off the option of privacy treatment of face sheets by default, and only provide this service when users take the initiative to choose. In this way, the enterprise will transfer the obligation of privacy treatment of the face sheet to the user.

"Privacy sheets will reduce dispatch efficiency." Jin Keke said that if a courier company implements a privacy sheet, the courier needs to use a specific barcode scanner to scan the corresponding barcode in order to obtain personal information. Compared with when the private face-to-face service is not implemented, it will affect the logistics efficiency to a certain extent, so it will also affect the income of couriers.

The use of privacy sheets is also related to the cost of enterprises. Chai Shanshan, a deputy to the National People’s Congress, has also investigated this issue. He found that when the courier with the privacy sheet is delivered, the courier will have one more process to check the contact phone number in the system, which will affect the delivery efficiency. In the case of the rapid increase of express delivery, the delivery efficiency is reduced, which is bound to increase the staffing, thus increasing the cost of enterprises.

Express delivery enterprises should fulfill the obligation of encryption

The Provisional Regulations on Express Delivery stipulates that express delivery enterprises should properly keep electronic data such as user information, regularly destroy express waybills, and take effective technical measures to ensure the safety of user information.

Article 51 of the Personal Information Protection Law stipulates that personal information processors should take corresponding security technical measures such as encryption and de-identification in the process of processing personal information.

"The courier list contains personal sensitive information, and the above provisions shall apply." Jin Keke believes that according to the provisions of the Personal Information Protection Law, it is a legal obligation to encrypt and privacy user information to avoid the risk of disclosure, and express delivery companies should take the initiative to fulfill it.

"Of course, we must also consider the affordability of corporate costs." Jin Keke suggested:

On the one hand, on the basis of investigation and research, a plan is put forward as soon as possible, requiring express delivery enterprises to take practical measures to fulfill their legal obligations to avoid the disclosure of personal sensitive information; on the other hand, it is necessary to speed up research and provide relevant technical solutions to eliminate the impact of privacy sheets on logistics efficiency as much as possible.

Delegates also suggested strengthening the publicity of personal information protection and strengthening the public’s awareness of personal information security protection.

A summary of the international symposium on Duan Yucai and Qing Dynasty.

    Recently, the International Symposium on Duan Yucai and Qing Dynasty, sponsored by the Chinese Culture Research Institute of Nanjing University and the People’s Government of Jintan City, Jiangsu Province, and undertaken by the Propaganda Department of Jintan Municipal Committee of Jiangsu Province and Jiangsu Hongde Culture Publishing Foundation, was held in Jintan City, Jiangsu Province, the hometown of Duan Yucai, which is known as a blessed land in the east of the river. During the meeting, experts and scholars attending the meeting exchanged views on Duan Yucai’s academic contribution, the Confucian tradition in Duan Zhu’s Shuowen, Duan Yucai in the perspective of ideological history, Western Sinology and Duan Yucai studies, and achieved rich academic achievements, which can be summarized as follows:


    On Duan Yucai’s Linguistics and Philology


    Duan Yucai’s most important academic achievement in his life was in philology, and his main achievements were concentrated in the book Notes on Explaining Words and Characters. Annotation is an important genre of ancient writing. If Xu Shen’s Shuo Wen Jie Zi in the Eastern Han Dynasty focuses on revealing the original meaning of Chinese characters through their glyphs, Duan Yucai in the Qing Dynasty focuses on revealing the extended meaning of Chinese words with handed down documents. Today, we talk about the contribution of paragraph notes to semantics and lexicology, which is mainly based on the extension of paragraph notes. Duan Zhu connects the ancient and modern glyphs, pronunciations and meanings, which makes it more thoughtful.


    Another important contribution of Duan Zhu is that more than 9,000 Chinese characters are placed in the new ancient phonological system, and the rhymes of each character are marked one by one. Attached to Duan’s annotated book, Liushu Phonology Table is the position system of more than 9,000 words, that is, the ancient rhyme system. Duan Yucai’s achievements in ancient phonology can be summarized into two aspects: first, he put forward a series of principles of ancient phonology, became a master of ancient phonology, and especially opened up a new way and a new method system to study the division of ancient phonology from the perspective of harmonic radicals. Second, it is divided into six categories and seventeen parts, which surpass the predecessors and enlighten the later. Duan Yucai and Dai Zhen talked about rhyme for fifteen years, which became a much-told story in academic history. After discussion, the two sides reached a consensus on the part of the three rhymes of "Zhi, Zhi and Zhi" in ancient times. However, Dai has never accepted Duan’s opinion on the separation of ancient truth and literature. Today, the division of ancient truth and literature has become a conclusion and Duan is correct. 


    Another important contribution of Duan Zhu is that, in addition to pointing out the meaning relationship between the related Chinese characters in the radicals of Shuowen, Xu Shen Shuowen has become orderly and "like a text", and it has also been constantly checking instructions on the meaning-related words in the whole book, making them combined and classified.


    What are the new ideas for studying paragraph notes today? To sum up, there are four kinds: one is to absorb the essence of paragraph notes to serve the compilation of contemporary dictionaries, the other is to make a deeper study of paragraph notes by using the sound and meaning of Buddhist scriptures, and the other is to use the "waste words" regulation of paragraph notes to include the study of waste words in the standardization of Chinese characters, so that the International Organization for Standardization can officially publish the Universal Multi-octet Coded Character Set (number ISO10646) as an open mode for editing.


    Some scholars combine the study of Duan Zhujin’s folk characters with the study of dialect characters, which is also very innovative and valuable.


    On Duan Yucai’s Confucian Classics


    First, Duan’s extensive and profound primary school is the methodological support of Duan’s Confucian classics. In the early Qing Dynasty, when Gu Yanwu answered the question of what is Confucian classics, he once said, "Neo-Confucianism is also Confucian classics." That is, "there is no neo-Confucianism without Confucian classics". Similarly, we can also say that there is no Confucian classics without primary school. Duan’s primary school serves the interpretation of classics, and primary school is a tool for studying classics. Duan’s primary school is magnificent, and his achievements in Confucian classics are therefore rich. In Duan Yucai’s view, the history of Confucian classics is really a history of the logical application of pragmatic tools around the group classics, and the history of Confucian classics is a history of the annotation of Confucian classics.


    The second is the language logic of reading classics in Zhou Lihan’s Reading Test (1794). Duan Yucai’s most important contribution to Zhou Lihan’s Reading Test is that he put forward the style of Han Dynasty’s annotation on Zhou Li in order to understand Zhou Li: the preface to Zhou Lihan’s reading test put forward three forms of "Chinese annotation is correct reading". Duan said: "Chinese is a note, and there are three examples: one is to read if, and the other is to read if; Second, read as, read as; Three times. " This passage, also found under the word "read" in Shuo Wen Duan Zhu, can be regarded as an independent ancient philology transferred to Confucian classics as an example of speech. Reading Ru, Reading Ruo: "Imitating its pronunciation" is used to imitate homophones and homonyms. Read for, read for: mainly used to indicate the change of meaning. When: Duan said: "A word error or a sound error is correct, all of which are called when."


    The third is the meritorious service in the field of Shangshu. In the early Qing Dynasty, it was enlightening to denounce the fake ancient prose Shangshu, and Liang Qichao’s Academic Introduction in Qing Dynasty called it "one of the great liberation of sincere ideological circles". Shangshu is one of the thirteen classics, and the thirteen classics are the orthodox guiding ideology of feudal society. It is of course an impact on feudal ruling ideology to expose the forgery of Shangshu. During the Qianlong period, Duan Yucai’s research and verification of the ancient Chinese text Shangshu was of great significance to expose the aftermath of Mei’s pseudograph. 


    The fourth is natural science and reading classics. Duan Yucai attaches great importance to the introduction of natural science into the Confucian Classics. Zhang Binglin’s A Review of Confucianism once said that there are fewer Thirteen Classics in Duan Yucai, and it is advisable to add Da Dai Li Ji, Mandarin, Historical Records, Han Shu, Zi Zhi Tong Jian, and Shuo Wen Jie Zi, Zhou Bian Shu Jing and Nine Chapters of Arithmetic. In this way, two of the eight classics added by Duan are mathematical books, which shows that Duan’s theory of classics attaches importance to natural science.


    Fifthly, it is also worth noting that Duan Yucai’s tolerant attitude towards modern classics. Duan Yucai once asked his grandson Gong Zizhen to learn from Cheng Yaotian, a scholar of ancient Chinese classics. Later, Gong Zizhen, a scholar of Confucian classics, wrote four articles on Ming Liang, exposing the corruption of bureaucratic politics in the Qing Dynasty. When Duan Yucai was 80 years old, he read this article and praised it as "a disease in China and today" and "an outstanding one"! I don’t hate (regret) to die when I still see this. "


    On Duan Yucai’s Philosophical Thought


    There are many contents in the paragraph notes that are close to the philosophy of language. Generally speaking, Duan Zhu’s explanation of the righteous examples in Shuowen, the righteous examples, literary examples and regulations are all the logic of the book itself, and Duan Zhu’s invention of the book permission regulations is an extremely important content of language philosophy. The generalization of the logical and semantic order of the words received by the Ministry after the paragraph notes, and the classification and comparison of similar semantics in different radicals are typical philosophical problems of language. A series of principles of ancient phonology when divided into six categories and seventeen parts of ancient rhymes, especially the deep-seated principle and composition of "the homophonic sounds are the same, and the ancient rhymes are the same", the metalinguistic characteristics in the interpretation of the extended meanings in the paragraph notes, and the examples of the interpretation of Duan’s Confucian classics, are all philosophical problems of language.


    There is a problem here, that is, the ontology of language philosophy. The ontology of China’s ancient philosophy of language is Chinese and Chinese characters. Modern cognitive linguistics also believes that the words of a national language can be used to understand the culture, thought and national spirit of the nation. Duan Yucai devoted his whole life to explaining Chinese language, revealing phonology and semantic categories, which is precisely the ontological research of language philosophy. The deeper value of this research lies in carrying forward the national cultural spirit. Whenever we study Shuo Wen Duan Zhu with awe, we are certainly attracted by the knowledge treasure in it, but what fascinates us even more is the cultural spirit of Duan Zhu’s Chinese characters, which is the spiritual implication conveyed by Duan’s explanation. Duan’s research is, in a word, the study of the meaning of language. Our study of the meaning system revealed by Duan Yucai is of general world outlook and scientific understanding significance.


    In recent years, the academic circles have mentioned the modernity of traditional academics, that is, the modern transformation of traditional academics. Different fields have their own academic transformations. For example, in the above-mentioned field of linguistics and philology, from three segments: extended meanings, ancient phonology and analogical characters, from dictionary compilation, Buddhist phonology and meanings, from compiling Chinese character "attribute dictionary" to developing paragraph notes by using the "waste words" regulation of paragraph notes, and from supplementing Xu Shu and paragraph notes with ancient characters. In the field of Confucian classics, it is all aspects of modernity to construct the philosophy of language and philology of China’s ancient philosophy of language in the field of philosophy from the aspects of practical learning, style, enlightenment thought and natural science view.


    The more important aspect of "modern transformation" is to inherit Duan’s rigorous and realistic academic spirit. Duan spent nearly 40 years (1776-1815) creating a book "Notes on Explaining Words", which shows that Duan’s academic and cultural spirit is the most valuable spiritual wealth.
