Anime Eye | "There are beasts": "So furry people can reunite"

In April, 2023, the domestic cartoon Fabulous Beasts, which was produced by Molecular Interactive for three years, finally appeared in the form of instant noodles and animation for two seasons after repeated ticket skipping. Because of the high content of Furui, and all kinds of Furui are covered in the comics, this work has become a "New Year animation" for Furui-controlled audiences.

Since the birth of domestic animation, there has been no shortage of works featuring anthropomorphic animals, ranging from Sheriff Black Cat, Jingjing Panda, Adventures of Little Carp to Cats in Peking Opera, Biography of the Great Wall of Giant Soldiers and Battle of Luo Xiaohei. Since the establishment of Shanghai Film Studio, at least two Furui animated films have been produced almost every year. Entering the period of TV popularization, the cat-type Furui has become the absolute mainstream. Under the Umbrella species effect of the cat-shaped Furui, other Furui images have also been developed. Sanchen Cartoon (Blue Cat Naughty Series) and Hongmeng Cartoon (Rainbow Cat Lan Tu Series) have completed the recognition of the anthropomorphic animal images of the audience by the super-long sets of their respective IP.

Up to now, the animation that firmly occupies the audience of young people is still two anthropomorphic animal IP: Bear Haunted (movie group), Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf (TV group). However, only "There are Beasts" claimed to be Furui’s works on his own initiative, and the comic propaganda page directly printed the propaganda text "God beast descended to earth, accompanied by Furui".

Whether anthropomorphic animation can be directly equated with Furui’s works, whether furry is Furui’s core trait, how to develop Furui’s aesthetics, how to balance Furui’s social and natural attributes … How does A Beast Solve these mysteries in his works? This paper will start with a question about Disney animation, and explore the various difficulties surrounding the phenomenal text "There are Beasts" and the Furui group.

Starting with Mickey Mouse: Tracing Furui’s History and Aesthetics

"Mickey is a mouse, Donald is a duck and Pluto is a dog. What about Goofy?" The question of Pluto or Goofy not only comes from Gordie in the movie Stand by Me (1986), but also puzzles many audiences and Disney. When Gao Fei introduces himself, he uses names instead of attributes. The official FAQ can only show that Goofy is a dog as a human character.

However, when the Orc/Furry was created, this problem was solved.

Furui, that is, under the influence of the secondary culture, is the general name of anthropomorphic animal images around human characteristics. If we start from the Categorical Ambiguity Theory (CAT for short) proposed by Ernst Jentsch, Furui’s concept becomes very broad: from landing on all fours to walking upright, from being naked to dressing up, from simply screaming to talking, these fuzzy areas between human and animal classification can all be included in Furui’s category, including of course the different characteristics between Bruto and Goofy. Under the influence of different regions, Furui has formed many overlapping concepts, such as ケモナー (cartoon personification of wild animals) and ケモミスト (animal-ear role lovers) in Japan and Furry and Toto in Europe and America.

From the birth of the concept of Furui, it has a dual category of science fiction and animation. Furry, as a brand-new ethnic concept "orc", can be traced back to the science fiction conference in 1980.[1]; But in animation, furry appeared earlier. No matter Humorous Phase of a Funny Face (1906) or Gertie the Dinosaur,1914), there are animals exchanging identities or talking with people. The image of Furui has long been carried forward in the animal anthropomorphic history of animation, including the variations and innovations of various elements of Disney (such as Mickey, Zootopia and Avatar), and the far-reaching influence of My Little Pony series, which has been on the screen for ten years since the Millennium, and the horse fans have also become another independent classification group.

With the layered development of secondary groups in recent years, Furui culture has become an indispensable sub-cultural force, and bilibili has even formed a UPmain community in Furui District with frequent linkage. Overseas Furui exhibitions such as TFF(Texas Furry Fiesta) and JmoF(Japan Meeting of Furries) are in full swing, and domestic related exhibitions such as Super Furry Fusion and Winter Furry Fusion are also held regularly. It is reported that around 2017, the animal exhibition was independent from the comic exhibition, forming a thematic circle exhibition.[2]. Since June 2023, there are even more than 10 exhibitions in the process of ticket sales or preparation this year.[3]It has attracted a large number of offline interconnection of Furui control groups.

In daily use, Furui is not only the name of the ethnic group, but also the meaning of the actor and the lover, that is, Fursona and Furry-phile. This leads to the separation of the three subjects and objects, because they are all under the same body (la chair) because of the relationship of mutual identification. As a result, Furui obtained the embodiment of self-body visualization and touchability, and the self-reflexivity extended by visual touch. This reflexivity points to chiasm of vision and touch: it gives Furui exclusive mineness. Especially when making animal designs, Furui controllers will deliberately avoid other similar patterns, thus creating an egoic-dwelling with a unique body-image. But at the same time, this kind of body image is a psychological object that Sartre said is connected by fantasy. If the viewer does not realize Furui’s image through intercorporeality imagination, the community identity formed by fantasy race, fantasy body and fantasy object will disappear.

Where does this intersexual imagination come from? It comes from Furui’s original etymology "furry feeling". Before furry became an orc/Furry, it was not a subjective name, but an adjective attribute (Furry, fur-covered, furry to the touch) that evolved from the noun attribute (fur) of the body attribute. Fur is visual, while furry is tactile, that is, Furui is inherently connected with vision and touch.

Is it an aesthetic experience around the visual-tactile linkage caused by furry? For a long time, this phenomenon has not been paid attention to in aesthetic research, and its mainstream view is that aesthetics should be disinterested. It was not until Schustermann, a researcher of body aesthetics, mentioned this "important exception" from Edmund Burke’s "philosophical discussion of sublimity and beauty" that he entered the researcher’s field of vision.[4].

The fundamental problem of Furui’s aesthetic experience lies in whether the core of aesthetics is contemplation or intervention. The representative figure of contemplative aesthetics is Kant, who regards the pure formal object formed by rational contemplation as the real judgment of aesthetic feeling, which means that the subject’s desire needs to be deprived in the dichotomy of "the subject is watching and the object is being watched", and it becomes a purposeful existence without interest, so Furui can only exist as the watched aesthetic object.

In Gao Jianping’s view, intervention is the essence of Marxist aesthetics, which requires that aesthetics should not only be viewed, but form an attitude of actively transforming life. Through practice, production and desire satisfaction, the aesthetic process is discussed, and the theory of contemplation is surpassed. The idea of Marxist intervention in aesthetics is closer to the transformation of life, while Burke’s intervention in aesthetics is physical experience.

Burke has a very pioneering thinking on the body dimension in aesthetic research: he incarnates aesthetics, and then discusses the body senses and the perception caused by it. He believes that body aesthetics should explore the diversity of pleasure, and need more desires such as nerve reaction, experience perception and emotional flow. When discussing beauty, Burke specifically talked about specific objects that can make people feel beauty, namely small things (small animals and beasts), smoothness (fur surface), gradual change (lack of edges and corners, complete lines), delicacy (flowery species), color (clear and bright luster) and eyes (clear rotation). Although Furui was not directly mentioned, all descriptions pointed to fullness. Burke’s interpretation of beauty is to "relax the whole body system to operate." The relaxed eloquence in the natural state is the reason for all the actual pleasant feelings. "[5].

Burke’s interpretation of beauty mainly focuses on the intuitive perception of vision and touch. Schustermann also believes that vision and touch should be integrated rather than separated, and the optomotor nervous system will mobilize the comprehensive experience of seeing and feeling as a whole. Especially after the appearance of image media, although the image has brought spiritual isolation, on the other hand, it has strengthened the audience’s imagination of flowing pictures. Husserl also emphasized the importance of touch and vision to the experience of body perception in his body discourse:

"Everything we see is tangible; In this way, they point to a direct relationship with the body, although not through its visibility. If the subject’s only sense is vision, it can’t have a revealing body at all … The body itself can be constructed at the beginning, but only in the sense of touch. "[6]

In this context, Furui really got the direct perceptual relationship with the physical body, so people saw the furry image and touched the furry object, and then gave birth to the lovely experience, which really formed the Wahrnemung return of the body in visual contact.

"Inhumanity" and "Halloween Street": When the God beast decides to come to modern life,

Furui is an imaginary ethnic group in the context of science fiction, but what if these ethnic groups themselves have a thick supernatural culture as a blueprint?

Fairy stories that have formed collective cultural memories are always "telling fate on the road of eternal return". They are often only reserved as "iconic scenes", which once again reveal the intertextuality proposition of tragedy pointed out by Gérard Genette with various details of changes: these are all events that have happened, and these characters are all images that the audience has heard of the complete story, and they have also become certain attributes in the context of fatalism.[7].

Therefore, in order to adapt the myth, readers should not only dialyze the past memories, but also build a discourse expression that is in line with the present era. The ultériorité dramas of these works are intended to expand brand-new themes continuously, and connect the relationship between classicism and modernity in the way of généalogie.

Therefore, when rewriting the myth, the creators will face a difficult problem, that is, how to put the monsters in different planes under the same world view of modernity. Molecular interaction adopts four distinct ideas in its four pillars.

"Inhumanity" puts it in the rapid development of modern life (the main character will go to work in an nonhuman company); Halloween Street uses the collage of living space to mix the species attributes and professional attributes of each character. "What to do! I crossed into the weakest wild monster (the comic book has been finished) adopts a more ingenious way to unify all the different mythical characters through the game mechanism of Azure World.

"Inhumanity" and "Halloween Street" were created in advance, and formed a complementary world view. They adopted two completely different ideas in the conflict and mediation between Furui’s social attribute and natural attribute.

When Yao Yunfan discussed the stylistic symptoms of Sheriff Black Cat, he put forward the conflict between two orders, one is physical nature, and the other is biological nature. The former relies on the integrity of words that are directly visible in vision and understandable in daily language, and forms an order/attribute closer to society (that is, people) in the change of volume (such as big guys bullying small animals); The latter is the "legitimate basis" for resorting to biology, which is unacceptable to society but regarded as reasonable by nature (such as the female mantis eating the male mantis)[8]This is a more natural attribute of Shan Ye.

Social attributes and natural attributes are just at the left and right ends of the Furui Degree Scale.[9]This will be attributed to standing, dressing and talking like a human being, and more importantly, integrating into modern life; The natural attribute is to land on all fours like an animal, wear no clothes, and not intervene in modern life. Inhumanity is closer to the social attribute, Halloween Street is in the middle, and There is a beast standing at the end of the natural attribute.

Some characters in Inhumanity are based on Shan Hai Jing, such as Jingwei, Xingtian, Nine-tailed Fox, Bai Ze, etc. But more of them are taken from the list of gods, which leads to a high sense of social belonging of these characters. "Unhuman" narrates that the protagonist is the nine-tailed fox in September, and the real protagonist is Bai Ze from the omniscient perspective. It is a daily work that lives in modern society through these ancient monsters. As a standard daily work, there is almost no main plot to promote the role, and the database settings are basically maintained. In this series, most of the monsters try to keep the appearance of modern human beings. Except for a few characters (such as Guanyin, Maitreya, Xingtian and Nezha), keeping the human form is based on transfiguration, and some of them are fine-tuned with their settings and abilities as animals.

"Inhumanity" gives priority to social attributes, and makes social attributes physical, while natural attributes are reduced to visual settings in most daily articles. Sometimes characters can understand each other’s natural attributes and turn a blind eye to their practices (Jingwei always does actions similar to reclamation); Sometimes, the natural attributes are completely unknown, resulting in a comedy effect of cognitive gap (the natural attributes of the stars in September and the Pleiades are restrained).

The source of the characters in Halloween Street is the genie in foreign culture, with three main roles: Nick (goat) in hell, Lynn and Lily in heaven, and Ailer (bat), Werewolf Hairy, Mummy Abu, Zombie Xiaolu, Cat and Peach. The natural attributes of the characters in All Saints Street are changed into abilities, and then corresponding occupations are developed on the basis of ability adaptation. And repeatedly jump between professional attributes and natural attributes, thus forming a sense of comedy.

Readers can see when reading two cartoons that the corresponding occupation of each character in All Saints Street has professional characteristics, while it is almost impossible to find a corresponding occupation in Inhumanity.

"There are beasts" simply cancels the setting corresponding to the social attribute of occupation, and its roles are all from the beasts depicted in Shan Hai Jing. The story is in Shan Ye, which is far away from the modern society (the author collected the scenery in Yunnan). Around the core scene of Deer Shop, the story looks for the main line of lost memories with seemingly endless daily cover-up.

The essence of the Deer Shop is the House of Everything (よろずや), which comes from an organization mode of Japanese society and exists as a pre-modern workplace without business scope. Due to its special properties, Wanwanwu can almost accept all kinds of problems in daily life and residents’ service, and its problem-solving methods are also closely related to private detectives.

The development of Deer Man Shop in Shan Ye also lacks the discipline of modern grand narrative. As a narrative hub, it connects all kinds of Furui in Shan Hai Jing, which were originally unrelated, in physical space.

Although in the movie Our Winter Olympics, it is said that the non-human company where she works is also a wanwu house in September, the movie presents scenes such as PPT modification, constant meetings, and work in the cubicle, which are only available in urban and online life. This means that the everything room in Inhumanity is essentially an internet company, and these roles must also be deeply involved in modern human life, especially in clerical work.

Although Deer Shop has not become a structural component of modern society like a non-human company, it is still in the process of modernization, and the key point is dress and the eye of jade bird monitoring, which has also become a direct visual presentation of the tragedy of A Beast (officially dubbed "hair knife").

There are Animals: Furui’s Three Body Forms

In "There are Beasts", all Furui can be roughly divided into three body forms, standing, landing on all fours and fierce beasts. Each body shape corresponds to the alternation of different aesthetic experiences, the transformation according to the time series plot, and the endogenous survival crisis of Furui.

The first body form is the two-legged standing and human dress mentioned above, which represents the discipline itself.

Standing on two feet is close to human beings from the visual outline, while human dress is a unique shame that arouses human beings from ethics. Animals don’t realize that they are naked, which is an original scene from nature. Even if they look at each other, they won’t send out social judgments with ethical reflection from the eyes of the viewers.

However, as Jacques Derrida said, as a human self, being naked in front of Furui will still feel "a shame of looking at oneself, a shame of being ashamed of oneself, an unreasonable and unspeakable shame".[10], because animals use the line of sight that they don’t know, forming a picture to be watched.

In order to block the transmission of "naked (animal)-watching-naked (human)", dressing becomes necessary. As a unique characteristic of human beings, clothing absorbs all other characteristics of human beings and forms a "conceptual concept" and completes the most important functions: shielding the eyes that are seen and integrating into the modern structure. That is to say, no matter whether the body is Furui’s appearance or not, when it is dressed, it changes from a beast [feminine] to a sovereign [masculine ](la bête et le souverain).

In The Beast, there are four characters who have stood on two feet and dressed as human beings for a long time, namely, the deer owner, the four elephants, the barber shop manager, the rabbit and the representative of the hell, and the doctor, the stamen bird, who will appear later. They all have their own clear professional identities in modern society.

The physical relationship between the protagonists in this play also shows more internal difficulties of Furui. The most important thing is the attribute conflict between the store name "Deer Man" (social attribute) and the animated name "Beast" (natural attribute), which has reflected a kind of entity presence and identity absence. The core of deer people is "people". In "There are beasts", as long as the characters who appear as people are only external outlines, they cannot be clearly distinguished. However, all the people who went to Deer People’s Store for help were "animals", and the Furui people did not have a clear understanding of this identity violation, and they were in a vague "ambiguous" state. However, the ambiguity of the sense of boundary echoes the extensiveness and self-reference of the Furui group in reality.

The existence of the "four unlike" reflects Derrida’s "hiding state with a mask". Although he can also be transformed into a four-legged body, as a deer (animal), after inadvertently peeping into the secret, he was instructed by a god (person) and made a standing Furui with a mask of the remains of four different animals, that is, a masked man (I ‘homme Ouloup).

The name of Sibuxiang appeals to its own exclusion. He is "unlike" any living thing and does not belong to any animal, Furui, human and himself. This title also replaces the ancient beast Sibuxiang, who has long died (the first Furui who died at the beginning of the work). His existence refers to a kind of absence. When being called by the brave, his literal presence and the lack of ontology finally appear as a persona.[11]. In the last episode of the first season of the animation, the body of the four elephants was in severe pain, and the unintentional remark "How can a god beast get sick" also revealed that the four elephants, as homo politicus, were always struggling with heterogeneity.

Accompanied by human dress, it is the robot bird bluebird in the form of a god beast. Jade bird is the symbol of the information transmitter in the story of the god beast, but it loses its signifier in "There is a beast" and completely becomes the symbol of monitoring. Jade bird has lovely big eyes that are completely out of proportion to its body, which activates furry’s another adjective "creepy" and also makes Furry’s visual image fall into the Uncanny Valley.

Thus, Jade Bird and Four Elephants form a group of monitors with or without self-will. There are not many scenes of Jade Bird in comics, but it appears in every episode in animation, and even appears in the quiz at the end of the film. There are gods (people) who ask the Jade Bird questions and let it answer them accordingly. This is a supplement of knowledge instead of physical experience, which borrows a lot of classical Chinese content in Shan Hai Jing to make Jade Bird adapt quickly and integrate into the environment of monitoring the whole beast universe.

The second body form is a furry beast that lands on all fours.

This is the most common image of Furui in the works. Almost 80% of Furui is on all fours, which is different from other previous Furui animations. At the beginning of this paper, I have described the famous Furui animation works at home and abroad, but as can be seen from the image, most of Furui’s images before "There are Beasts" focused on "personification of animals", and the key is to fully approach human’s social attributes with animal images, forming a large number of works standing on two feet and dressed by human beings, among which Zootopia is a typical one. Once Furui is drawn on all fours, he will be deprived of his ability of dialogue and communication and become an unspeakable Bruto. From this perspective, the benchmark work of "There are Beasts" is "Little Pony", while the benchmark work of other Furui animations is "Equestria Girls".

The cartoon style almost completely satisfies Furui’s hair texture, with "a texture similar to crayon material for character lines", while the animation "extracts lines and colors separately and attaches materials in the later process, and finally paints the lower part of the character with the same granular material as the art background".[12]Get a line effect similar to that of comics.

In order to strengthen the affinity between Furui and nature, quite a few Furui in the comics have other names for plants, such as the Meng family (walnut, oleander). In the sales information of mushrooms/tree pins at the end of each episode of comics, the corresponding plants are also connected with Furui.[13].

At the same time, in order to better realize the life resonance like Gaia hypothesis, the scene art production team collected a lot of scenery in Yunnan, where the animation was taken, and formed a detailed plant taxonomy.

However, Furui, who landed on all fours, don’t have human attributes directly. They are more like "monster beasts with mythical or linguistic nature"[14]There is a natural estrangement from nature, and its physical perception will be incomplete, as if it were hurt by a dizzy and strange illusion. Although the Furui textures in real life are different, they can always see the most similar outline. They have similar basic body radians, and add or delete them on this basis, and cover people’s bodies by adding fur (that is, animal clothes). With a seemingly naked fur, they cover the really naked flesh with a prothétique structure, but at the same time, they also form restrictions on normal movements and are too hot to breathe.

At the same time, the animation group personifies the ancient memory loss and pain that must be recovered in comics, which is not nostalgic, as a "knife", and hides it in the high-definition pixel (500% magnification according to the creator) of the last frame of each episode of OP, which leads to the psychological and physical sense of traumacore.

The same is true of a large number of Furui in "There are Beasts". Almost all the characters who appeared in the first season of animation have physical disabilities: Jinjiao with missing horns, Yinjiao (mouse), gluttonous (peach and peach) with only brains left, highly emaciated mouse who spits treasures, chinchillas and cats with failed body grafting, and Pippi who has lost his memory. Even though the external images of the Furui people are cute, it is precisely because of this sense of offensive lack of vision that they cover up the difficult survival dilemma of complete self-identity (l’ipséité de l’ipse).

The cuter you are, the closer you are to the grotesque. In "On Cuteness", Yasuhiko Sifang said that きもかわ (both disgusting and cute) and かはゆし (too dazzling to look straight at) have strong affinity. He believes that nausea and loveliness are formed by "overlapping, mutual traction and interdependence." When we think something is cute, grotesque also becomes a condiment. " Therefore, Sifangtian developed Freud’s theory of terror psychology and proposed that "when the origin is suppressed or hidden", intimacy will be transformed into terror. This sense of terror originally comes from the "physical defects of newborn objects: huge eyes different from ordinary people, short legs disproportionately compared with the head, hairless, thin and slender bodies" [15]Together, they form an intuitive visual experience for the lovely Furui.

So Derrida thinks that the imaginative capture formed by Furui is incomplete, not only physically, but also aesthetically. Between the double pull of animals and people, Furui has congenital pain and trauma:

"The ego (moi) acquired by animals must be short of’ me ‘(Je), and this’ me ‘(Je) itself can only rely on a definite signifier of arrival: the ego (of animals) lacks this’ missing’ … animals exist on the conscious ego side, while the human nature of human subjects is on the unconscious (social camouflage) side … forming a kind of self-deception (sertomer).[16]

The third body form is the fierce beast form that is really close to Shan Hai Jing.

Furui’s body standard, from the perspective of de-loveliness, is actually "a natural deformity that deviates from human standard body"[17]Although these spare parts are not cute to watch alone, they lose their aggressiveness when combined and will not pose a threat to mankind. However, if the lovely aesthetics no longer acts on these objects, it will make people feel a strong sense of fear and be full of danger and destruction.

This is also the reason why many horror movies put seemingly cute children in them, such as Rhoda (the first child villain in the horror movie) in Bad Seeds, the sisters holding hands in The Shining, the tricycle girl in Nightmare Street, and the only surviving child at the beginning of The Great Escape. At the same time, children also have natural curiosity to ignore taboos, and driven by strong illogical sensibility, they can easily break the barrier of rational discipline set by adult society to protect themselves.

As a comic title, There is a beast, which seems to follow the cute cute cute beast. After the word "There is a beast" appears in Shan Hai Jing, there are strange and treacherous beasts of all colors, which show lost face, which is the lofty embodiment of nature that has not been recognized and conquered by human beings. When they turned into fierce beasts, their petite, smooth and round bodies were all torn and stretched, and they became monsters with fierce bodies, interactive teeth and huge shapes.

They are "like tigers and oxtails, and they sound like barking dogs." Its name is Bi, and it is cannibalism "; They "are shaped like sheep and have a ponytail, so they are called sheep, and their fat can be waxed"; They are "like cows and hedgehogs, called Qiong Qi, and sound like dogs, and they are cannibals".

Most of these fierce beasts are recombined with parts of other established animals, that is, they are not specific creatures, but mixed creatures. The word used in The Beast and the Sovereign is Kentauros (half man, half horse), and its adjective kantons means rough beast. In Shan Hai Jing, these mixed creatures are extremely aggressive because of the existence of self-multiplicity, which leads to the lack of independent will. Their relationship with human beings is mutual predators, and there are both "cannibalism" and "eating" in the book.

As mentioned earlier, the mutilations of Furui’s bodies in "There are Beasts" are not the accidental work of the animation production team, but the natural gap left by the collage of mixed creatures described in ancient books, which is the connection between "such as … such as …" something in the book. At the same time, it is also a phantom limb that has been superficially completed after the transformation from Furui to fierce beast. Therefore, from the perspective of body perception, the destructive power of fierce beasts is not only outward, but also inward, cutting themselves.

Cutting not only the body, but also time and space. This is the most essential tragic theme that runs through the whole story of "There are Beasts", and it is also the pain of all Furuikong when he enters and bids farewell to this group.

It is not recorded in Shan Hai Jing, but scattered in other ancient books. It was first published in The Book of Rites Quli, where there is a loyal beast before, it contains a saying. The etymology of brave and brave is originally a fierce beast that is summarized as a class. At the earliest, it also lacked a clear entity, and it appeared together with other beasts (bears and tigers). In the lyrics of "There are Beasts" OP, it is literally the budding imagination of readers (people) living in modern times about the ancient world’s beasts, but it is also the imagination of the "non-existent" creature who is outside the universe of Shanhaijing to coexist with other beasts. Similarly, the four elephants, the rabbit and the sincere listening mentioned above are not included in the records of Shan Hai Jing.

This endows the existence of fierce beasts with the heaviness of ancient memories. It seems that there are no them in the Shanhaijing universe that can become common descent. They originally looked at this ancient world in a non-participation way (ohne mitzumachen), but they met in series with fierce beasts distributed on the mountains in all directions.

It is precisely because Pippi forgot the "missing itself" that he met and got to know other beasts in Deer Man Store, and then he had a new story. When he recalls the past history, the present memory consciousness will be reset and covered, and finally he has to choose between the environment (UmWelt) and the past world (welt). The tearing pain of this choice is no less than the horizontal tearing of natural attributes and social attributes mentioned above, but it must be torn vertically between the ancient world memory and identity recognition that cannot be repeated and the modern world with relaxed and humorous daily life. After all, Deerman Store is both a supervision and a shelter, and it is a paradise for Furui to get along with based on "false memories".

Therefore, the story must be carried out in a circular way and forgotten again. Whenever faced with a choice, it will be thrown back to the starting point in the form of Mobius ring. This is the story of the stranded animal island, which is the third suspended parallel space independent of the present world and the ancient world, and is unfolding in constant rescue and escape.

The story of "There are Beasts" is full of bittersweet, just like stories of different worlds are nested in comics, so that it is necessary to rely on the previous reminder of "See the XX words" to connect the polyphony between the Furui lines. This intense dimorphous response repeatedly jumps between cuteness and injury, and finally becomes the contradictory symbiosis of cute aggression.

The same is true of Furuikong’s living space. As the second cuteness product of kindenschema, Furuikong points to the past (childhood) and fantasy at the same time with the furry image of the present. Babies always grow up, become teenagers and get old. Furui doesn’t. Like a cat, he is covered with a furry body. This parallax illusion seems to have the magic of fixed time. It has always existed in the form of Peter Pan syndrome, and one day it will have to break the dream of pumpkin carriage, just like the brave and four elephants.

But what about this?

Even if you have to forget the present and have to go back to the past, the traces of their present life will always be seen by the bluebird. Although the Jade Bird is a kind of non-human gaze (Wondering at the Inhuman Gaze) and a Foucault-style supervision, it still faithfully records all vision.[18]. Behind the bluebird is not only a shining god (person) from heaven, but also a reader who has been watching the story.

Furui’s consolations with each other in "There are Beasts", whether it is listening-Bai Ze, pig-bobcat, cat’s tears-Panhu, and Qiong Qi, are Cute-love built beyond the normal emotional relationship in the world. This love is also true in Furui control: through the reunion of furry people, the fictive kin relationship formed between them shows strong tolerance and belonging recognition. "The sense of belonging to the social circle is a major feature of Furui group, even in 2023, when decentralized society is highly developed."[19]. This sense of identity drives them/us to maintain a deer shop that seems to be in danger but can always help the beasts.

Take many measures to facilitate children to see a doctor and let the people enjoy convenient medical services at their doorstep.

  CCTV News:Winter is the season of high incidence of respiratory diseases. Recently, in Yongchuan District, Chongqing, the number of outpatient and emergency departments in major pediatrics is at a high level, and various measures have been taken to effectively do a good job in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases in children.

  In Yongchuan District People’s Hospital of Chongqing, recently, the daily average number of pediatric outpatient and emergency departments is about 800, of which more than 70% are children’s respiratory diseases. The hospital expanded wards, increased beds, and opened night clinics for children to facilitate children to seek medical treatment in time.

  Wang Jun, Head of Medical Administration Department, Yongchuan District Health and Health Committee, Chongqing:Fever clinics in primary health care institutions should be fully opened, service hours should be extended, weekend clinics should be increased, 12 teams should be set up to help 23 primary health care institutions improve their ability to diagnose and treat respiratory diseases, and various measures should be taken to increase the supply of pediatric medical services, optimize the allocation of medical resources, and improve the ability of pediatric emergency services.

  High incidence of respiratory diseases, multi-measures to deal with the peak of pediatric visits

  At present, respiratory diseases have entered a period of high incidence. The number of people with cold, fever, cough and other symptoms has increased significantly in many parts of the country, especially many children infected with respiratory diseases, which not only worries parents, but also increases the number of diagnosis and treatment services in many pediatric hospitals.

  Recently, the General Office of the National Health and Wellness Commission issued a notice to guide grassroots medical and health institutions to do a good job in health services for respiratory diseases in winter and spring, and put forward measures such as doing everything possible to tap resources to carry out pediatric diagnosis and treatment services and strengthening the support of general hospitals for grassroots medical and health institutions.

  At 9: 40 in the morning, in the South Campus of Shuangqiao Hospital in Chaoyang District, Beijing, the number of children and parents waiting at the entrance of the pediatric clinic began to increase. Shuangqiao Hospital is a second-class general hospital in Beijing, with 27 clinical departments. The pediatric setting has continued since the establishment of the hospital. Now there are 4 pediatricians, which can meet the basic medical needs of children around the hospital.

  According to the monitoring data of the hospital, in September, 2023, the average daily outpatient volume of pediatrics in the hospital was 74. After entering October, the data curve increased obviously.

  Although the number of recent visits has tripled or quadrupled compared with daily visits, the reporter saw here that even during the peak hours of children’s visits, the number of people waiting at the entrance of the pediatric clinic never exceeded 12, and children and parents were basically divided into two clinics within half an hour.

  In order to cope with the peak of respiratory diseases in autumn and winter in 2023 and reduce the stay time of patients in the hospital, Shuangqiao Hospital optimized the treatment process.

  In the registration process, the outpatient hall dynamically adjusts the number of manual registration windows, every morning at 8: 00 — At 5: 00 pm, the pediatric registration is not limited. After the registration, you can wait outside the clinic.

  Outside the clinic, the medical staff who are asking about the illness of the children are full-time medical assistants specially set up for pediatric outpatient clinics in the hospital.

  Before the child sees a doctor, the doctor can get the basic information of the child from the doctor’s assistant. After a preliminary judgment, the parents of the child can take the test items prescribed by the doctor and take the child for further examination. In this link, the hospital has also carried out dynamic optimization.

  In order to reduce the time for patients to wait for results, the number of hospital inspection personnel is also dynamically adjusted with the demand.

  In addition to optimizing the medical treatment process, in order to cope with the epidemic peak of respiratory diseases, many primary hospitals have increased the number of consultation places and opened weekend clinics. At present, Shuangqiao Hospital has implemented holiday-free clinics in the south and north hospitals, and both hospitals are equipped with the same inspection and testing items.

  Relieve the pressure of hospital treatment through community health service center

  In order to cope with the long waiting time in pediatrics and the overload of some children’s specialized hospitals, the National Health and Wellness Commission has previously instructed all localities to publicize the information of medical institutions that can provide pediatric diagnosis and treatment services in the region, so as to facilitate patients to seek medical treatment nearby. Not long ago, Chaoyang District published a list of primary medical and health institutions providing pediatric services in its jurisdiction on the Healthy Chaoyang WeChat official account. Cuigezhuang Community Health Service Center is one of them. Recently, there have been more calls to consult pediatrics.

  Sun Li hasn’t been idle since she took the office phone with her colleagues at 8 am. Most of the calls these days are for consultation with pediatrics.

  At the same time as the other party consulted, Sun Li also made a preliminary understanding and judgment on the situation of the child.

  In order to cope with the peak of respiratory diseases in the winter of 2023, Cuigezhuang Community Health Service Center began to optimize the consultation process as early as October and implemented pediatric holiday-free outpatient service. In order to make children infected in the community find out and treat them early, medical staff also make full use of the family doctor signing system to answer questions for the surrounding residents in the WeChat group.

  Residents and doctors in the WeChat group are familiar with each other. Usually, when residents have a headache, they will directly ask for medicine in the group. For a long time, the two sides have established close ties. In such a special period, this close relationship will play a huge role.

  In the winter of 2023, although a variety of respiratory diseases were prevalent, no new pathogens appeared. For doctors, these respiratory diseases are common diseases that have to be dealt with every autumn and winter. There is little difference in the diagnosis and treatment of mild children, whether they go to a specialized hospital or stay in the community.

  Set up a hospital outpatient department in the community to facilitate children to see a doctor

  In order to facilitate people to see a doctor in primary medical institutions, some general hospitals have also set up hospital outpatient departments in the community, and doctors have been stationed for a long time.

  Recently, Ren Yumei, a pediatrician in the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, was sitting in the Provence Community Hospital in Zhengzhou.

  Ren Yumei, Deputy Chief Physician of Pediatrics, First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine:Our community clinics have 1-mdash all the year round; Two specialists are stationed here. At the same time, according to the high incidence season of respiratory infection this year, the hospital sent 5-mdash; Six senior doctors, basically every day we have 2-mdash; Three specialists and general practitioners are together to jointly maintain primary diagnosis and treatment. At present, the community can realize the synchronous diagnosis and treatment process with the hospital, and can do basic blood routine, mycoplasma and influenza, including pulmonary ultrasound imaging, which can completely help us complete the preliminary diagnosis and treatment of common epidemics, infectious diseases and respiratory diseases.

Riding craze is on the rise, how to ensure safety?

In recent years, cycling has increasingly become the endorsement of people’s pursuit of freedom and health. However, these pursuits often conflict with the complexity of the real environment.

On August 11 this year, a father in Hebei rode with his child. After the child fell, he was crushed by the opposite vehicle and died unfortunately. On September 15th, a mainland woman unfortunately lost control and fell while riding on Lantau Island in Hong Kong, and was crushed to death by an oncoming tourist bus.

These accidents reflect the potential safety hazards faced by cyclists when they enjoy sports and explore the scenery, and also make us think deeply, how can we find a balance between freedom and safety in cycling?

Behind the craze, cycling accidents continue to increase.

The concept of cycling is no stranger. Different from the bicycle culture full of pragmatism in China in 1970s and 1980s,Nowadays, cycling has developed into a highly respected sport.

According to the "Survey Bulletin of National Fitness Activities in 2020" issued by the National Physical Fitness Monitoring Center, cycling is one of the main sports for adults in China, and the proportion of women is higher.

The rise of cycling groups and cycling activities makes cycling add social attributes to sports. Yaya, who has participated in cycling activities for many times, told us: "Riding has made me make many different friends, and I enjoy this free state." Health, relaxation, pursuit of freedom, social interaction … Riding itself has been given more meaning, and it has also become a personalized choice for people to pursue self-expression at present.

With more and more people participating in cycling, especially in complex scenes such as cities and traffic roads, the number of cycling accidents is also increasing.According to statistics, in recent years, the incidence of bicycle traffic accidents in China has been increasing, and the number of injuries and deaths has also been rising.

The recent cycling accidents have also pushed cycling to the forefront and exposed its potential safety risks.

Multiple factors are superimposed, and the hidden dangers of riding safety are highlighted.

Behind the frequent cycling accidents, there are many factors, such as environment, man-made and equipment.

In the feedback about riding risks from the People’s Daily Online leaders’ message board,Inappropriate road conditions and the lack of dedicated cycling lanes are important factors affecting riding safety.Dahai is the founder of the bicycle organization in China Renmin University. In his view, the road conditions have a great influence on riding safety. The smooth roads in some cities are one of the reasons for the rising cycling fever. In other cities, there are many bumps in the downtown roads, which are easy to cause riding safety hazards and make people flinch.

The smoothness, width and visibility of the road surface all play an important role in riding safety, but some roads lack special bicycle lanes, so cyclists usually need to share narrow roads with motor vehicles, which increases the risk of collision. The sea also tells us that electric bicycles, as a common means of transportation, are numerous, and their irregular driving has caused great safety pressure to cyclists. At present, the domestic electric vehicle management is relatively loose, which makes this problem more prominent.

In addition to the imperfect cycling infrastructure, there are often contradictions between cyclists and other road users. We coded and analyzed 988 comments under the four most typical posts on the theme of "Riding to Quit" in Xiaohongshu, looking for a spit point. In the comments, the opinion on "too fast" is the biggest. Others mostly focus on cyclists’ behaviors that do not obey traffic rules, such as occupying roads, running lights, retrograde, etc. Some people are worried about cyclists’ lack of professional knowledge and safety equipment.

For mature cycling groups, experience, equipment and professional knowledge seem to be no longer a problem. There are many cyclists in the G318 Sichuan-Tibet line, including many large and small motorcades. Xiaojin, who once rode the line, said that this kind of cycling group usually has experienced riders as the "head car" and "tail car". The "head car" will observe the situation ahead in advance and give tips in the way agreed by the team when encountering special circumstances such as uneven road surface or about to turn. They are usually well-equipped, such as preparing lighting facilities to deal with the situation of entering dark sections such as tunnels. The leadership of experienced people, full preparation and orderly management all add a safety guarantee to cycling.

However, the popularity of modern high-performance bicycles makes many cyclists have a higher pursuit of speed. The control ability of cyclists in high-speed state is weakened, and the reaction time of judging and dealing with emergencies is greatly shortened. More importantly, riding accidents caused by high speed have greater impact and more fatal damage to cyclists.

When talking about the riding accident in Hebei, Xiaojin said: "The reaction speed and strength of children are still different from those of adults. His father may treat him as an adult."

From the unfinished construction roads in Hebei to the winding mountain roads in Hong Kong,When cycling becomes a contest between high-speed sports and complex road conditions, the imbalance of safety becomes particularly obvious.

How to ensure riding safety within the rules?

In practice,Some bicycles can easily ride at a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour, and the speed can even reach 50 kilometers per hour when going downhill.[1]. This has far exceeded China’s regulations that the maximum speed of electric bicycles in non-motor vehicle lanes should not exceed 15 kilometers per hour.

Compared with electric bicycles, China’s "Regulations on the Implementation of Road Traffic Safety Law"(hereinafter referred to as the regulations)The regulations on cycling are relatively broad, and there is no clear regulation on the speed of cycling and whether it is necessary to wear a helmet. However, the regulations stipulate the minimum age for cycling, the lanes that can be driven and how to borrow roads in an orderly manner. At the same time, there are clear prohibitions on traction, climbing and parallel chasing.

At the same time, some cities in China also put forward management measures for racing cycling. On July 25, 2024, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Traffic Management Bureau issued a message to strictly investigate the "racing" behavior of cyclists on urban roads. Since August, 2023 illegal behaviors of non-motor vehicles chasing and racing have been punished on the spot.[2]. In March, Chengdu issued the Measures for the Management of Greenway Riding in Chengdu’s Ecological Zone around the City.(Provisional)",clearly stipulates the" greenway speed limit ",and requires that the warning sign of safe riding speed should be set according to the principle that the maximum speed of high-risk sections and crowded areas is not more than 15km/h, and the maximum speed of other sections is not more than 20 km/h.[3].

In terms of helmet wearing, some foreign cities have legislative provisions. For example, at present, 22 states in the United States and Washington, D.C. have legislation on wearing helmets when riding bicycles, mostly to protect the safety of young cyclists.[4]. The laws of Sydney and New South Wales in Australia require all cyclists to wear helmets that meet the standards, and wear and fasten them firmly to ensure the safety of cyclists.[5].

Abiding by the rules and ensuring safety are the principles that everyone should jointly safeguard. Failure to take appropriate riding methods should be disciplined and reminded, and even worse, bear relevant responsibilities.At present, some uncivilized and even illegal cases have brought negative effects to normal cycling exercise groups, leading to the public’s stereotype and stigma of cycling groups. Within the scope of the rules, cyclists should not be looked at and questioned as a separate group.

Whether it is legislation, infrastructure or public awareness, cycling needs to be better embraced and accepted.But at the personal level, civilized riding is still the premise of ensuring safety, and it is also the responsibility of every rider to himself and others.

To this end, we have also compiled a cycling tip, hoping that every cyclist can always enjoy peace while pursuing freedom.

Note: At the request of the interviewee, Yaya, Dahai and Xiaojin are all pseudonyms.

Must See | Environmental Protection Department Exposes "Top Ten Smog Rumors in 2016"

  CCTV News:A few days ago, the Publicity and Education Center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Beijing Environmental Protection Publicity Center jointly exposed the "Top Ten Smog Rumors of 2016". Let’s see which rumors once made you believe!

  Rumor: Beijing smog in macro lens?

  A video of Beijing smog shot with a 4000 lumen light macro lens is shocking. In the video, some small particles are floating around, which is really scary to watch. Many netizens have said that masks that have been suspected before must be worn this time, and some netizens commented that "this kind of air will kill people." The video has been forwarded by nearly ten thousand people.

  truth Fog droplets and fine particles that form smog are invisible to the naked eye, so it is necessary to use microscope instruments. What the video sees is just dust.

  Proverbs 2 Automobile exhaust is 10 times cleaner than air, and the contribution of motor vehicles to smog is not so great.

  In a video from a car website, on a heavily polluted day, a person wearing a gas mask extended the air quality detector to the exhaust pipe of a car, and the reading of PM2.5 dropped from nearly 500 to 48. It is concluded that automobile exhaust is 10 times cleaner than the air in foggy days.

  truth Most of the contribution of automobile exhaust to pm2.5 is indirectly generated. The exhaust contains substances such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are gases and will not be reflected in the air quality tester for measuring PM2.5.. However, these gases are both "raw materials" and "catalysts" for PM2.5 production. Among the local pollution sources in Beijing, the contribution of pollutants emitted by motor vehicles to PM2.5 is 31.1%, which accounts for 40% in non-heating season. Organic matters, nitrates, sulfates and ammonium salts generated by secondary conversion account for 70% of PM2.5.

  Proverbs 3: A red warning was issued because of the presence of ammonium sulfate in the smog?

  In mid-December 2016, Huanghuai and other places in North China suffered from a wide range of smog weather. Under the shadow of persistent smog, some rumors began to breed on the Internet. A message widely circulated on the Internet said, "Internally, this smog mainly contains ammonium sulfate, which was not the level of red warning, but it only reached this level because of the existence of ammonium sulfate. Remind the children not to go out. The purifier at home is turned on for a long time. Drink more water. It turned out that ammonium sulfate exceeded the standard in London, and many people died without protection. "

△ On December 16, 2016, Beijing launched a red warning of heavy pollution.

△ On December 16, 2016, Beijing launched a red warning of heavy pollution.

  truth According to the "Emergency Plan for Heavy Air Pollution in Beijing", the red warning is to predict serious pollution for four consecutive days or more, of which two days will reach serious pollution; Or the single-day air quality index (AQI) reaches 500. Ammonium sulfate is not the standard for issuing a red warning.

  The paper "From London Fog to China Haze: Persistent Sulfate Formation from London Fog to Chinese Haze" published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in the United States in late November pointed out that in China, agricultural nitrogen fertilizer and industrial emissions produce a large amount of ammonia pollution, and alkaline ammonia promotes the reaction process of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, forming a large amount of ammonium sulfate, but also neutralizes the acidic environment, making China smog neutral in pH value.

  Although the neutral pH of smog in China doesn’t mean that smog in China is harmless, it doesn’t have as strong acute toxicity as acidic fog in London. The acute toxicity of ammonium sulfate is not great, and the deadly culprit of London fog is high concentration of sulfur dioxide.

  Rumor has it that the four wind power stations and shelterbelts block the smog caused by strong winds?

  Some people think that a large number of wind power stations have been built in Inner Mongolia to steal the strong wind in Beijing, and the three-north shelterbelt attenuates the wind in the north, resulting in smog that cannot be blown away.

  truth The wind can recover when it hits an obstacle, and local wind power generation or local shelter forest will not affect the downstream wind power far away. The fundamental reason for the formation of fog and haze is that the ground pollutants hit the static condition of the atmosphere. At present, no scientific research shows that there is a causal relationship between wind farms or shelterbelts and the formation of smog.

  Proverbs five smog is because of "nuclear pollution".

  It is said that large-scale uranium and coal resources have been found underground in Erdos, Inner Mongolia. Through burning, uranium in coal enters the air, which is the reason for the large-scale smog in China at present.

  truth The main influencing factor of smog is meteorological conditions. Uranium itself is a very heavy element, which is not easy to be oxidized and will not become dust; Moreover, the power plant will carry out dust removal, desulfurization and denitrification on the emissions, even if they really exist, they should also be left in the combustion residue, and the amount entering the air is very small.

  Rumor 6 "coal to gas" aggravates air pollution in Beijing?

  An article entitled "Smoke emission from natural gas boilers is an important reason for aggravating the haze weather in Beijing" said that smoke emission from natural gas boilers is the main source of "rich water vapor" in Beijing and an "accomplice" to aggravate the haze air. The article says that the development of natural gas in Beijing is a double-edged sword, which has the clean energy side, the negative influence of water vapor emission and the pollution of nitrogen oxides.

  truth Wang Zifa, a researcher at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that according to the current natural gas consumption in China, the gaseous water produced by burning natural gas is about 300 million tons every year. If all of it is converted into liquid water (in fact, it is impossible to convert all of it into liquid water), it will be spread evenly in the eastern part of the country where the population is concentrated (estimated area is about 3.6 million square kilometers), and the thickness of liquid water is less than 0.1 mm/year, accounting for only one hundred thousand of the precipitable water in the atmosphere, with little impact. Therefore, "changing coal to gas" will not significantly increase the humidity in Beijing’s atmosphere, and it is not the main source of "rich water vapor" in Beijing.

  Professor Feng Yinchang of Nankai University said that no matter burning coal, gas or oil, nitrogen oxides will be emitted. Whether "changing coal to gas" will lead to the increase of nitrogen oxides mainly depends on the combustion mode and quality of coal before changing gas and the combustion technology adopted after changing gas. If low-nitrogen combustion technology is adopted, the emission of nitrogen oxides will be reduced. Denitrification started later than desulfurization in China, and the concentration of nitrogen oxides in the atmospheric environment has not decreased as significantly as that of sulfur dioxide in recent years. The increase of nitrogen oxide concentration may cause secondary pollution, but it is controllable. Moreover, the causes and mechanism of pollution are very complicated. It is not scientific to say that the pollution of particulate matter is still serious because the concentration of nitrogen oxides has not decreased significantly.

  Proverbs 7: Beijing’s air quality is gradually deteriorating?

  Some people think that the smog is frequent now, and the air quality in Beijing is not improving but deteriorating.

△ On December 30, 2016, Beijing was shrouded in smog.

△ On December 30, 2016, Beijing was shrouded in smog.

  truth According to the monitoring data of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, as of December 27, 2016, the average concentration of PM2.5 in Beijing in 2016 was 72 μ g/m3, down 10.0% year-on-year (down 8 μ g/m3) and down 20% compared with 2013 (down 18 μ g/m3). The assessment report "The Course of Air Pollution Control in Beijing: 1998-2013" issued by the United Nations Environment Programme in 2016 shows that from 1998 to 2013, the average annual concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and inhalable particulate matter (PM10) in Beijing decreased significantly by 78%, 24% and 43% respectively, and the air quality in Beijing has been improved in the past 15 years. In addition, the monitoring data of international organizations such as NASA in the United States also support the trend of continuous improvement of air quality in Beijing.

  Proverbs 8 smog can only wait for the wind, and emergency measures for heavy pollution are useless.

  There is a view that the smog in Beijing can only wait for the wind, and the measures that took so much effort to implement during the period of heavy pollution did not play a role in driving away the smog.

△ On December 23, 2016, Beijing ushered in the blue sky after smog.

△ On December 23, 2016, Beijing ushered in the blue sky after smog.

  truth The function of heavy pollution emergency is to reduce pollutant discharge and pollutant accumulation as much as possible through certain emergency emission reduction measures, so as to protect public health to the maximum extent. According to professional calculations, during the Red Police this year, PM2.5 was reduced by about 23% and other pollutants were reduced by about 30% on average compared with no measures. Haze is caused by pollutants discharged by human production and life exceeding the environmental capacity under certain meteorological conditions. Only by reducing the emission intensity of pollutants through corresponding control measures can the air pollution problem be fundamentally solved, which requires a long-term process.

  Proverb 9 Beijing is seriously polluted by smog, and the air contains antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

  On November 23, 2016, four scholars from the Research Center for Antibiotic Resistance of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden mentioned in their research that "the antibiotic resistance gene was detected from the smog in Beijing". Subsequently, some domestic WeChat WeChat official account published the title "Breathing Pain! Drug-resistant bacteria are found in smog in Beijing and other places, and more than 60 kinds of drug-resistant bacteria in smog in Beijing will lead to drug failure. On November 24, 2016, some media released a news titled "Drug-resistant bacteria were found in Beijing smog, and" the last antibiotic of mankind "could do nothing about it". The news was reprinted and commented by a large number of media and self-media on the 25th.

  truth The Beijing Municipal Health Planning Commission responded that the drug resistance and pathogenicity of bacteria are completely different concepts, and the increase of drug resistance does not mean the enhancement of pathogenicity. Many experts at home and abroad said that bacterial drug resistance has nothing to do with smog, smog does not produce drug-resistant genes, and smog has no necessary causal relationship with drug-resistant bacteria. The acquisition of bacterial drug resistance is caused by evolutionary selection and induced selection of antibiotics, not by smog. The hazard factors in smog are mainly chemical pollutants, which have adverse health effects on respiratory system and cardiovascular system, and the health risks caused by microorganisms are very small.

  Proverbs 10 smog blocks alveoli? The incidence of lung cancer in Beijing is much higher than that in the whole country, showing a younger trend, and air pollution is the culprit.

  There is no doubt that smog affects health, but some opinions circulating on the Internet are varied: the incidence of lung cancer in Beijing is much higher than that in the whole country, showing a younger trend, and air pollution is the culprit? Can 80 PM2.5 particles block an alveolus? Will smog make fresh lungs turn black for six days? Smoking smog for a day may lead to hemiplegia? Can smog lead to infertility? Smog makes people lose their lives for five and a half years?

  truth In response to these questions, Academician Zhong Nanshan once said that "many data about smog carcinogenesis are taken out of context, exaggerated or tampered with".

  In fact, from 2003 to 2012, excluding the aging factor, the average annual growth rate of lung cancer in Beijing was 1.2%. In 2011, the age-standardized incidence rate of lung cancer in Beijing was 23.53/100,000, while the latest standardized incidence rate of lung cancer in China was 25.34/100,000. It can be seen that the incidence rate of lung cancer in Beijing was slightly lower than the national average. The median age of lung cancer in Beijing in 2011 was 71 years old, which increased by 2 years compared with the median age of 69 years in 2002. It can be seen that the incidence of lung cancer in Beijing is not younger. Others, such as "80 PM2.5 particles can block an alveoli?" Will smog make fresh lungs turn black for six days? Smoking smog for a day may lead to hemiplegia? Can smog lead to infertility? Smog makes people lose their lives for five and a half years? " Such rumors, without scientific basis, have been confirmed as rumors by relevant authorities.

Double eleven cold air has been delivered! National down jacket warning map released

  China Weather Network News "Others laugh at me for wearing thick clothes, and I laugh at others for being frozen." After a cold wave at the beginning of November, the cold air was uninterrupted, and many places in China experienced a night of winter. Today (November 10th), a new strong cold air has been delivered, with a sharp drop in temperature and a wide range of influence. It will go all the way south to northern South China, and 30 provincial-level cities will hit a new low in the second half of this year. Coincides with the "Double Eleven" period, it may not only be a shopping cart, but also a bone-chilling cold. China Weather Network launched a national early warning map of down jackets to see where it will experience bone-chilling cold, and it is necessary to wrap a long and thick down jacket.

  National down jacket warning map released, two-thirds of the country needs down jacket protection.

  At the beginning of November, affected by the cold wave, many places experienced a big reversal of cold and warm, taking off cool summer clothes and turning out warm equipment such as long pants and coats. However, the cooling is far from over, and a new cold air has been delivered. From now until the beginning of next week, a large-scale temperature bottoming contest will be held in the central and eastern regions of China, and 30 provincial-level cities will set a new low in the second half of this year.

bqdt

  According to Zhang Juan, a meteorologist of China Weather Network, this strong cold air process will boost the winter process in North China, Huanghuai and other places, and the impact will also go deep into the south, bringing about a big temperature dive, and two-thirds of the country needs down jackets to protect itself.

  According to the national early warning map of down jackets launched by China Weather Network, three days from now, Northeast China, Inner Mongolia and other places will experience the freezing cold, and the areas that need to wear down jackets will go south with the main body of cold air and reach the northern part of South China.

bqdt

  On November 10th, the main body of cold air mainly affects friends in the north, Qinghai, most of Tibet, the northeast and the central and eastern Inner Mongolia. The lowest temperature can be reduced to -20℃ to -15℃, and it will be frozen in minutes when going out, and the temperature is below freezing point during the day. It is necessary to wrap a long thick down jacket in cold weather all day. Most of Xinjiang, North China, Huanghuai, Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia and other places will also experience the cold below freezing point in the morning and evening. For example, the lowest temperature in Beijing dropped to -3℃ on the morning of the 11th, which will set a new low in the second half of this year, and it is also necessary to keep warm and wind-resistant down jackets.

bqdt

  On November 11th, with the cold air heading south, the highest temperature in most parts of the south of the Yangtze River will drop to around 15℃. Although it is not as chilly as the north, the temperature will also hit a new low in the second half of this year. Coupled with the rain, the wet and cold feeling is obvious, and it is not enough to wear a coat. You can apply for a down vest.

bqdt

  On November 12, cold air continued to penetrate south, and the area where down jackets were needed was extended to the south of the Yangtze River. Like Changsha, the highest temperature on the 12th will drop to 9℃, so it’s time to put on a down vest. As the temperature drops in eastern Inner Mongolia, northwestern Shanxi, northwestern Shaanxi and some places in Xinjiang, it will be frozen all day, so it is necessary to wrap a long thick down jacket when going out.

  After the cold wave crosses Nanling Mountain, its influence will be obviously weakened, and its influence on most parts of South China is a spent force. The cooling range is limited, and the maximum temperature will drop from 30℃ to about 20℃. The body feels slightly cool, long sleeves and coats are enough, and down jackets will continue to press the bottom of the box.

  How to choose down jackets these three misunderstandings need to be avoided.

  The footsteps of winter continue to press south, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Down jacket is essential as the ultimate warm artifact. China Weather Network has identified three misunderstandings in the selection of down jackets. Have you been recruited?

bqdt

  The quality of down jacket can be identified from the aspects of filler, bulkiness, softness and fabric, which can refer to the four-step method. At first glance, the filler can be identified. Check the label to find out the type and content of the filler. A down jacket with less than 50% cashmere can’t be called. Press twice to test the bulkiness. By pressing down the down jacket to test the bulkiness, the down jacket with high bulkiness has enough air layer to strengthen the warmth. Three touches, experience softness. Feel the softness of the down jacket by touching it. The down jacket with high softness has lower down stalk content and higher down feather content. Four beats, beat the down jacket to test whether the fabric is hairy.

  The strong cold air process coincides with the "Double Eleven", and many small partners’ goods have already flown on the road, and the rain and snow weather brought by cold air may affect the progress of logistics and distribution. Snowfall will occur in Xinjiang, Qinghai and other places, and logistics may be blocked; There will also be a large-scale precipitation and logistics slowdown in the south. Vehicles are easy to slip in snowfall weather, which increases the hidden danger of traffic accidents and thus affects the timeliness of logistics distribution. Express logistics enterprises need to pay special attention to weather forecast and early warning and other relevant information, make emergency plans for sudden weather changes, strengthen after-sales service links such as logistics distribution and cargo transshipment, and minimize the impact of disastrous weather on logistics and transportation.

  China Weather Network reminds us that this year’s "Double Eleven" express is under great pressure, and the delivery task of the courier brother is even more arduous due to the cold weather and inconvenient transportation caused by rainy and snowy days. If there is a short delay in delivery, everyone can give more tolerance and understanding. Finally, I wish everyone’s packages can arrive in time without being affected by the weather.

Ministry of Commerce Responds to Hot Issues of Sino-US Economy and Trade: Resolutely Oppose the Escalation of Trade War

  Beijing, August 29 (Xinhua) The Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference today, and the spokesman Gao Feng responded to a number of hot issues in Sino-US economic and trade consultations. Gao Feng confirmed that the economic and trade teams of China and the United States have always maintained effective communication. In response to the US proposal to impose tariffs on US$ 550 billion of China’s goods exported to the United States and then raise the tax rate, Gao Feng said that China has sufficient countermeasures, but the trade war should be prevented from escalating under the current situation.

  China resolutely opposes the escalation of Sino-US trade war.

  A reporter asked that US President Trump said a few days ago that China is very welcome to reach a trade agreement and calmly handle differences. How do you comment on this?

  Gao Feng said that China has made clear its attitude, resolutely opposed the escalation of the trade war, and is willing to solve the problem through consultation and cooperation in a calm manner. "The escalation of the trade war is not conducive to China, not conducive to the United States, and not conducive to the interests of people all over the world."

  The economic and trade teams of China and the United States have indeed maintained effective communication.

  Recently, it was said that China called American economic and trade negotiators to negotiate or reach an agreement. In this regard, Gao Feng, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce, said that the economic and trade teams of the two sides have indeed maintained effective communication. There is no more information about the details at present.

  Gao Feng said that there are many rumors at present, and the Ministry of Commerce will clarify the facts and let everyone know the truth in the economic and trade field.

  China has sufficient countermeasures, but it should prevent the trade war from escalating.

  A reporter asked whether China intends to take corresponding countermeasures against the US proposal to impose tariffs on US$ 550 billion of goods exported from China and then raise the tax rate.

  Gao Feng said that China’s countermeasures are sufficient. However, in the current situation, China believes that the issue that should be discussed is to cancel further tariffs on 550 billion US dollars of China goods to prevent the trade war from escalating.

  Gao Feng stressed that "the escalation of the trade war is not conducive to China, the United States, and the interests of people all over the world, and may even bring disastrous consequences to the world."

  China has the ability to ensure the good momentum of the fundamentals of economic development.

  In response to the question "Will the escalating trade war have a serious impact on China’s economy", Gao Feng said that China’s economy is changing from high-speed growth to high-quality development, and the trend of transforming old and new kinetic energy is constantly strengthening. China has a dynamic micro-foundation, a huge room for maneuver and sufficient macro-policy tools, and is fully confident and capable of ensuring a good momentum of economic development fundamentals.

  Responding to the question "China Economic and Trade Delegation to the United States for Consultation in September"

  In response to the question "About China’s economic and trade delegation going to the United States for consultation in September", Gao Feng said that the economic and trade teams of China and the United States have maintained effective communication and are discussing the issue of China’s economic and trade delegation going to the United States for consultation in September. At present, the most important thing is to create the necessary conditions for the two sides to continue consultations. If there is any further information, the Ministry of Commerce will release it in time.

  American manufacturing enterprises move out of China? Ministry of Commerce responded

  Some media asked, US President Trump recently asked American companies to move manufacturing from Beijing back to China or to other places. What is the response of the Ministry of Commerce?

  In this regard, Gao Feng pointed out that China and the United States are important trading partners and sources of investment, and the interests of both sides are deeply integrated, which has formed a pattern of "you have me and I have you". The economic ties between China and the United States cannot be cut off by anyone who wants to. If someone tries to decouple the two countries’ economies by force, the result will inevitably harm others and themselves, which will not only seriously harm the interests of American enterprises and people, but also threaten the security of global industrial chain supply chain, international trade and the world economy.

  Gao Feng said that people from all walks of life in the United States have expressed their opposition to the above remarks. The essence of Sino-US economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win. The two sides are not rivals of zero-sum game, but should be mutually beneficial partners. China welcomes enterprises from all over the world, including the United States, to invest and operate in China and will continue to create a good business environment.

  Will soybeans become the main tool to counter the United States?

  A reporter asked, last Friday, China listed soybeans as one of the targets of imposing tariffs on the United States and Canada. Will soybeans and other agricultural products continue to be the main tools for China to counter the United States? Will you worry about the impact on China’s soybean industry? Last Friday, China announced that it would resume imposing tariffs on cars and parts produced in the United States. European car companies produced in the United States, such as Mercedes-Benz, may be affected. Will China consider providing tariff exemptions for these European car companies, such as Germany, which are produced in the United States?

  In this regard, Gao Feng said that last Friday, China listed some goods imported from the United States as the target of tariff increase again, which was a necessary counter-measure that China had to take. It is hoped that the United States will cancel the new tariff increase measures and avoid further escalation of the trade war. The issue of tariff exclusion will be arranged by the State Council Customs Tariff Commission in a unified way. If there is any further information, it will be released in time.

  It will be American companies that will eventually be damaged by suppressing China enterprises.

  Some media have asked questions. Recently, the US Department of Commerce has received more than 130 applications for licenses to sell products to Huawei, but the Trump administration has not issued any licenses. What is the comment of the China Department of Commerce?

  Gao Feng said that China has noticed relevant reports, which shows that in many fields, Chinese and American enterprises have formed an interdependent relationship in the industrial chain. If China enterprises are suppressed, American enterprises will eventually suffer. It is hoped that the United States will, based on the interests of its own enterprises and the safety of the global industrial chain and supply chain, cancel the suppression and sanctions against China enterprises such as Huawei as soon as possible.

  The trade war should be prevented from escalating under the current situation.

  Reporter’s question, the spokesman, you just answered the question about Trump’s new tariffs on China’s 550 billion products. You said that China has sufficient tools to counter them, but now China feels that the more important issue is to discuss the cancellation of these tariffs. Does this mean that China will not counter Trump’s new tariffs? Why change this strategy now, because China will take countermeasures against all new tariffs imposed by the United States before?

  Gao Feng pointed out that I have responded very clearly just now, and China’s countermeasures are sufficient. However, in the current situation, China believes that the issue that should be discussed is to cancel further tariffs on 550 billion US dollars of China goods to prevent the trade war from escalating. At present, China is making solemn representations with the US.

  The Sino-US trade war has reached the point where it has to be fought? Ministry of Commerce responded

  A reporter asked, recently, the United States has been escalating its economic and trade frictions with China. Has the Sino-US trade war reached the point where it has to be fought?

  In this regard, Gao Feng said that China resolutely opposes the escalation of the trade war. Starting from the overall situation of China and the United States and the whole world, China is willing to solve the problem through consultation and cooperation with a calm attitude. It is hoped that the United States and China will move in the opposite direction and promote the proper settlement of Sino-US economic and trade issues on the basis of equality and mutual respect.

OpenAI shares AI data center construction plan with US government, calling for expanding energy capacity.

OpenAI has shared information with US government officials about how to build an artificial intelligence (AI) data center, which is expected to consume 5 GW of electricity (which will be five times larger than the data center that the company is currently developing). This idea seems to be similar to Stargate, which is the code name of a $100 billion supercomputing data center that OpenAI discussed with its main supporter Microsoft. (Cailian)

Federal Reserve Moussalem: The market currently believes that the Fed may not cut interest rates significantly.

Federal Reserve Moussalem said that it is still too hasty to include Trump’s ruling prospect in December. As bond yields rise, the market also feels higher inflation risks, and there are signs that the market currently believes that the Fed may not cut interest rates significantly.

Federal Reserve Moussalem: There may be room for the policy to gradually relax to neutral interest rates.

Federal Reserve Moussalem said that there may be room for the policy to gradually relax to neutral interest rates, and there may be stronger data (at work) behind the rise in the term premium of national debt. Data since the last policy meeting show that the economy may be much stronger than expected. The inflation data is also strong, but it has not changed the view that the policy is developing in a neutral direction. The latest consumer price index data is "in line with expectations", but I hope to see the data continue to decline on a three-month basis. It is too hasty to include the prospect of Trump’s administration in December. Economic activity and data have become stronger, bringing the risk of inflation rebound.

Federal Reserve Moussalem: It is estimated that the inflation rate will approach 2% in 12-24 months.

Federal Reserve Moussalem said that the inflation rate is expected to approach 2% in 12-24 months; Monetary policy is in a tight state, but the overall financial environment is supportive of economic activities.

Federal Reserve Musalem: In the case of inflation rate higher than 2%, monetary policy will remain "moderately tight"

Federal Reserve Musalem said that monetary policy will remain "moderately tight" when the inflation rate is higher than 2%. If inflation continues to fall, it is appropriate to cut interest rates further. The labor market is still in the range of full employment, and the strong economy is expected to achieve a "steady" performance in the fourth quarter. The economic growth in the United States is extensive, mainly driven by consumption, income growth, productivity, supportive financial conditions and wealth effects.

After the latest US CPI data is released, Citigroup still expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 50 basis points in December.

After the US CPI report in October met expectations and inflationary pressure generally eased, Citigroup economists still believe that the Fed will cut interest rates by 50 basis points in December. "Although the details are still unstable and not so’ normal’, the easing of salary pressure, the decline of short-term inflation expectations, and the continued pressure of high interest rates on housing demand and prices should reassure Fed officials about the slowdown in inflation," Veronica Clark and Andrew Hollenhorst wrote in a report on Wednesday. Citigroup’s basic forecast is still to cut interest rates by 50 basis points in December.
