  Give you a heads-up

  Every summer, all kinds of seemingly eloquent "popular science" are "listed" simultaneously with big and red cherries.

  Recently, a video about the quality and safety of cherries spread on the Internet, saying that "99% of cherries on the market use swelling agents. Normal cherries can only grow to 12-mdash; The weight of 13 grams can be doubled with swelling agent. If there is no kernel in the cherry pit, the hollow one is medicated … …”

  What is the swelling agent that is often named? Is there really a miraculous effect in the rumor? What factors are related to the size of the cherry? To this end, the reporter visited experts in the agricultural field and consulted people on issues of concern.

  No food safety incidents caused by it have been found yet.

  "The swelling agent is a plant growth regulator. In the process of cherry growth, in order to improve pollination rate and fruit setting rate, cherry planted in greenhouse usually needs to use swelling agent; Cherry cultivated in the open field does not need to be used. " Wang Qiang, a researcher at the Agricultural Products Quality and Safety Risk Assessment Laboratory (Hangzhou) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, told the reporter that at present, open-field cherry is the mainstream cultivation mode in China. According to this calculation, it is indeed possible to use plant growth regulators such as bulking agents in cherry market, but the utilization rate should be less than 50%.

  How do plant growth regulators play a role in the production of fruit and vegetable products?

  "Plant growth regulators have similar effects to plant hormones, which can stimulate the division and growth of plant cells. The difference is that plant growth regulators are artificially synthesized by scientists and modified to make their activities stronger than plant hormones." Xu Dong Hui, a researcher at the Institute of Vegetables and Flowers of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said.

  In terms of management, since 1997, according to the Regulations on Pesticide Management, plant growth regulators have been managed as pesticides.

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, at present, there are nearly 40 registered plant growth regulators in China. There are more than 100 kinds registered and used internationally. Approved and registered plant growth regulators should formulate technical specifications for safe use, including medication period, dosage, application method, scope of use, matters needing attention and safety interval, and clearly mark them on product labels to guide farmers to use them reasonably. In addition, a series of residue tests should be carried out for registered products, and residue limit standards and reasonable use criteria should be formulated according to data such as residue tests to ensure the quality and safety of agricultural products. Since 2015, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has conducted a risk assessment of plant growth regulator residues in agricultural products, and the results show that the average residue value of plant growth regulators is only 0.001— 0.034 mg/kg, the risk of dietary exposure is very low, and the product quality and safety are guaranteed.

  Experts said that in terms of safety, there have been no food safety incidents caused by plant growth regulator residues in the world so far. In China, agricultural products that have been applied with plant growth regulators are also very safe for consumers. Compared with other pesticides, although plant growth regulators are included in the management of pesticides, they are not pesticides for treating diseases, insects and weeding in the traditional sense. Their products are of low toxicity, and some of them are even listed as exempted substances without setting residue limits because they are almost nontoxic. For example, the toxicity of chlorfenuron commonly used in expanded fruits (LD50 > 4,918 mg/kg) is lower than that of salt (LD50 = 3,200 mg/kg). In addition, because the amount of plant growth regulator is small, excessive use is easy to produce adverse effects, and farmers can not use it in large quantities, so the residue of plant growth regulator is low.

  Fruit size is determined by many factors.

  Then, what factors are related to the size of cherry fruit, and can the swelling agent "double" the fruit?

  According to experts, large cherry and seedless cherry are related to variety characteristics, cultivation measures and the use of plant growth regulators.

  Xu Donghui told reporters that "Meizao" is the largest fruit among the cherry varieties at present. This variety of cherries has the characteristics of large fruit shape, full and sweet taste. Under normal circumstances, the single fruit weight of "Meizao" is 8-mdash; 12 grams, which can reach 16-mdash under special cultivation methods; Twenty grams.

  "A sweet cherry variety selected in China ‘ Red light ’ Under normal circumstances, the weight of a single fruit can reach 11-mdash; Fifteen grams. From the point of view of drug control, it has been reported in literature that treating cherry with plant growth regulator gibberellic acid can increase the weight of single fruit by about 15%— 30%, the swelling effect is limited. " Wang Qiang said.

  So, does cherry seedless mean that it has been treated with swelling agent? Wang Qiang said, this statement is too absolute. Although it is reported in the literature that cherry stones will be hollow after being treated with gibberellic acid at a certain concentration, it is not necessarily 100% seedless after being treated with gibberellic acid at a low concentration. In addition, the causes of cherry hollowness are natural abortion or other possibilities, not necessarily because of the use of gibberellic acid and other drugs.

  Xu Donghui explained that in order to improve the pollination rate and fruit setting rate of cherries, fruit farmers will apply gibberellin and other plant growth regulators at flowering stage, which may also cause seedless fruits and nuts, but this will not affect the safety of cherries.

Are pineapple and pineapple the same fruit?

If the fruit circle is going to make a biography of Zhen Huan, then pineapples and pineapples will be the essential protagonists in this palace fight drama.

For a long time, the debate about whether they are the same fruit has never stopped. Open the search engine and enter the words "pineapple and pineapple" to find 5.95 million pieces of information.

You can find 5.95 million pieces of information by typing the words "pineapple and pineapple" in the search engine.

In the camp of "not the same fruit", supporters list the differences between pineapple and pineapple in every detail, for example, pineapple has fewer thorns, does not need to dig trenches, does not need to be soaked in salt water, and is more noble than pineapple (no, the pineapple party refuses).

The other camp believes that pineapple is actually a pineapple, and the two are like tomatoes and tomatoes, potatoes and potatoes.

So, what is the relationship between pineapples and pineapples on the market?

The dispute between pineapple and pineapple is actually an "infighting"

To understand this puzzle that has puzzled the fruit circle for a long time, we must first talk about the pineapple family.

According to the "Flora of China", the common name of pineapple is pineapple.

Botanically speaking, they are the same plant of the genus Bromeliaceae.

There are more than 2,000 employees in 45 genera in this "department" of Bromeliaceae, among which only one species of pineapple has economic cultivation value, and the rest have become ornamental flowers.

Potatoes, perennial evergreen herbaceous pulpy plants of bromeliaceae.

In 1935, there were 135 recorded pineapple varieties. According to the characteristics of fruits, they can be divided into four categories: Cayenne Group, Queen Group, Spanish Group and hybrid group.

If you go to a supermarket or a fruit shop to buy pineapple, you will probably buy a queen variety called Bali.

In 2015, about 80% of the main pineapple producing areas in Chinese mainland were cultivated in Bali.

Its leaves are a little prickly, and it will prick your hand. If you cut it open, you will find many black round fruit eyes, which are actually the stigma and stamens left in the pulp of pineapple.

After removing them, you can eat only about 57% of the pulp.

Image source: Station Cool Hailuo

If you are persuaded by Bali pineapple and want to switch to "pineapple", then the clerk may recommend some special varieties to you, such as golden diamond pineapple, perfume pineapple, peeled pineapple and so on, but they are actually different members of the pineapple family.

Take Golden Diamond Pineapple as an example, it is a hybrid variety bred in Taiwan Province area, numbered Tainong 17. In 2018, 85% of the pineapples cultivated in Taiwan Province were golden diamonds.

Image source: Station Cool Hailuo

Its size is one or two times larger than that of Bali, but its fruit eye is only half as deep as that of Bali. After cutting the peel, it can be eaten directly, with a crisp taste and overflowing juice.

Because the bromelain content in golden diamond pineapple is relatively low, it won’t sting too much when eaten.

However, its excellent taste and quality also mean that you need to pay more money to take it home. For example, in Baiguoyuan, a chain fruit shop, the price of an A-grade Bali pineapple is about 13.5 ~ 15.8 yuan/kg, while the price of a golden diamond pineapple of the same level is 42 ~ 45 yuan/kg.

Besides eating Lantern Festival lanterns, what other customs are there in all parts of our province? Some things you can’t think of

Today is the fifteenth day of the first month, and the Lantern Festival comes as scheduled. In ancient Chinese, "Yuan" is the beginning, "Xiao" is the night, and "Yuanxiao" is the first full moon night after the beginning of Yuan. Lantern Festival has a long history. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, Lantern Festival has become a major festival.
As a part of the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival is also a chain festival. In terms of length, it was one day in Han Dynasty, three days in Tang Dynasty, and five days in Song Dynasty. In Ming Dynasty, the lights were lit from the eighth day of the eighth month until the night of the seventeenth day of the first month, for ten days. Tang Yin, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, wrote in his poem Yuanxiao: "In spring, people are like jade, and lights burn the moon like silver next month." By the Qing Dynasty, the Lantern Festival in various places had added "hundred plays" such as dragon dancing, lion dancing, roller boating, walking on stilts and yangko dancing, but the festival period was shortened to three to four days, starting from the 14th day of the first month and ending on the 16th.
Two hundred years ago, in Jinan Prefecture, the Lantern Festival was celebrated like this: "Put on lanterns, set off fireworks, and make sugar rounds. Try the lamp (wheat on the 14th, main valley on the 15th, main beans on the 16th), and it will be a good year when the moon is bright and windy. After trying to spread the doors, it is called’ scattered lights’ and floating in the running water, which is called’ river lights’. "
In all parts of Shandong, in addition to the traditional eating dumplings, watching lanterns, watching zaju and setting off river lanterns, "Walking Hundred Diseases" has also been a distinctive folk activity since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Someone once wrote a poem: "Old and young are happy to call each other, and when they leave, there will be no diseases in the world." This activity is held in some areas on the 15th of the first month, but mostly on the 16th. On this day, women dressed in festive costumes walked out of their homes and crossed the bridge in droves. In some areas, they went to Confucian temples, temples, and some boarded city walls or pavilions until midnight. Little girls play with skipping rope on this day, which is called "jumping a hundred ropes".
In the old days, women in Texas boarded the south gate and walked to the temple pavilion. As the saying goes, "Climbing the city is easy." Longkou women must cross the crescent bridge in Xiguan when they are ill. In Boshan, people who suffer from sores and gangrene will gather Ai Wei on the 16th night of the first month to roast the stone lion in front of the county office, which is called "Treating Diseases". Men, women and children in the rural areas of Juxian county should take a walk in the wild on this day, which is called "walking the old face". It is said that walking once a year can keep the old face.
These three places have the most unique custom of "walking away from all diseases": in Juancheng, people go for a walk outside the village early in the morning, and even ride cows, horses, donkeys and mules to run on the road, which is called "running for a hundred times", and the proverb says: "running once, never seeing old", which is similar to the custom of "walking old" in Juxian. In some places, people climb high and overlook, some go to the tomb of Lin to moxibustion Weng Zhong, and some people moxibustion clothes at home, which is called "moxibustion for all diseases".
In Laowei County (now Weicheng District), "Walking All Diseases" is more distinctive. On the 16th day of the first month, women went to the Zhenwu Temple in the northeast corner of the city to offer incense, and then touched the wooden tiger that Zhenwu Emperor accompanied Zhao Xuantan, commonly known as the "old cat". It is said that touching an old cat will not cause illness for a year. In front of the shrine court, two stone men were moxibustion. It is said that moxibustion on the stone old man and the stone woman did not produce sores for a year, which is collectively called "running old cat". The "Wei County Zhuzhi Ci" included in the "Wei County Records Draft" compiled in 1941 said: "The Xinzheng Festival began after the Lantern Festival, and the old cats ran in the city; In order to be disease-free for a year, Ai Xiang fought to burn the stone man. "
In Gaomi and other places, on the 16th day of the first month, the stalks of trees and grasses are in the shape of a meandering Yellow River, and children are running in a maze-like passage, which is called "running the Yellow River". People in Zoucheng will go to the Kangxi Monument Pavilion in Mengmiao on the 16th day of the first month to touch the tablet. There is a proverb in the local area: "If you touch the head of the tablet, you will never know how to worry;" Touching the donkey will never make you ill. "
In Tengzhou ancient city one hundred years ago, the gates were not closed during the Lantern Festival, and the lights in the city shone as bright as day. Dragon lanterns, lions, clouds, flower boats, bamboo horses, stilts, and the Eight Immortals are all zaju, dancing and singing, boasting and fighting, and fireworks, fireworks, rockets, mud-nest flowers, iron-tube flowers, etc., or flowers or rings, all at once, which are very lively. From 14th to 16th, everyone climbed the city wall, went to the temple to burn incense, and the officials did not forbid it.
Whether eating glutinous rice balls, watching zaju, setting off river lanterns or walking away from all diseases, the Lantern Festival is painted with a thick humanistic background with the help of ceremonies. On the first full moon night in the New Year, facing the moon god who is in charge of drought, flood, wind and hail, it is natural for our ancestors to use various rituals to pray for a bumper harvest and good health in the New Year, and fire has become the best way to communicate with the gods and people. At dusk, they prayed and blessed around the fire, and the clouds soared to communicate with people and gods. Year after year, the years are so long. In these seemingly superstitious and somewhat reasonable ceremonies, the Lantern Festival was born and passed on in the interpretation …

Cloud perspective | Don’t be silly and confused whether to eat Yuanxiao or Tangyuan on Lantern Festival.

the Lantern Festival

Gain three pounds every holiday.

After eating and drinking during the Spring Festival

The second round of the festival "Lantern Festival" is coming again.

Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month

In the Lantern Festival, people watch lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns.

And have a family reunion to eat Yuanxiao.

It means sweet New Year reunion.

as the proverb goes

Eating yuanxiao in the north

South chi dumplings

Lantern Festival? Tangyuan?

Why do the north and the south eat differently?

Are they one thing?

In fact, glutinous rice dumplings and Yuanxiao are both snow-white spheres filled with glutinous rice. Tracing back to the source, they are the same thing.

The custom of eating glutinous rice balls began in the Song Dynasty, but in the process of evolution, the differences in production techniques between the north and the south gradually formed two names.

"Roll" Yuanxiao in the North

When people in the north make Yuanxiao, they first knead the stuffing into a uniform ball, put it in a laundry basket covered with dry glutinous rice flour and shake it constantly. From time to time, water is added to make the stuffing stick more and more glutinous rice flour until the stuffing is covered with glutinous rice flour and rolled into a ball.

Because of this, Yuanxiao can be eaten in a variety of ways. Such as frying or steaming.

Yuanxiao tastes strong on the skin, and the stuffing is chewy. The boiled soup will be thicker, which is a bit like drinking rice soup.

South Bao sweet dumplings

The method of making glutinous rice balls is a bit like making steamed stuffed buns. First, glutinous rice flour is added with water to form balls, which are left for several hours. Then, the stuffing is mixed evenly and put in a container for later use, and it is not necessary to cut into small pieces. The water content of glutinous rice balls is more than that of Yuanxiao, and the wet glutinous rice flour is very sticky. You can only pull a small ball of wet noodles by hand, squeeze it into a round shape, pick a ball of stuffing and put it on the glutinous rice slices, and then turn around with both hands to make glutinous rice balls. The fillings of glutinous rice balls are sweet and salty, and there are meat and vegetables. In many places, pork, ham and shrimp are also used as fillings.

Tangyuan has a smooth skin and a delicate taste. Because there is a lot of water in the stuffing, the stuffing will flow out like quicksand at the moment when it is bitten. Besides, the soup cooked with glutinous rice balls is clearer than Yuanxiao.

In addition, the storage of Yuanxiao can’t be frozen, but it can only be cooked and eaten now, and it can’t be stored for a long time (it will crack if it is kept for a long time, and the same is true for cold storage), while the dumplings must be frozen.

In fact, no matter whether you eat Yuanxiao or Tangyuan, although there are differences in form, the moral you want to express is the same, that is, round and round, round and full.

A little more knowledge

Yuanxiao is delicious, but some people should not eat more.

Diabetic patients: The sugar content of Yuanxiao is high. If patients covet the delicious food, their blood sugar will rise sharply, which will not only aggravate their illness, but also induce ketoacidosis.

Patients with ulcer disease: Eating Yuanxiao can increase gastric acid secretion, aggravate the stimulation to ulcer surface, and even induce gastric bleeding and gastric perforation in severe cases.

Gastrointestinal dysfunction: Yuanxiao is made of glutinous rice flour, which is sticky and difficult to digest. After eating, it can lead to stomach pain, bloating, belching, acid reflux and even diarrhea.

Patients with acute gastroenteritis: the gastrointestinal tract is in a state of congestion and edema. Patients should eat digestible foods such as rice soup and lotus root starch. Eating Yuanxiao will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

Patients with high fever: The gastrointestinal tract of patients is relatively inhibited when they have fever, so they should eat some easily digestible food such as liquid food, otherwise it will aggravate the condition.

Patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and gout: These patients are in danger of aggravating their condition by eating Yuanxiao, so it is advisable to eat less.

Early recovery from a long illness: At this time, although the patient’s appetite has improved, his digestive function is still weak, and excessive consumption of Yuanxiao is not conducive to recovery.

Old and infirm people: these people have decreased digestive function and lost teeth, especially the old people’s swallowing reflex is relatively slow, which may cause the Lantern Festival to get stuck in the throat due to rapid swallowing, leading to breathing difficulties and even suffocation and death.

Infants and young children: Children’s digestive function is weak, and their swallowing reflex has not been fully developed. Therefore, when eating Yuanxiao, you should not eat it whole, but divide it into a quarter, and then eat the second bite after eating one bite. You must chew slowly to prevent accidents.

People whose digestive function has not recovered after "Yangkang": It is also not suitable to eat more Yuanxiao, otherwise it will aggravate their own basic diseases and bring about adverse reactions such as abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, acid reflux and heartburn.

"Sixteen full moons on the 15th" is still the annual "minimum full moon".

On February 19, 2019, in Kunming, Yunnan Province, an airplane flew past the annual "Maximum Full Moon". Xinhua News Agency reporter Yan Yiguang photo

On the Lantern Festival, it is the right time to enjoy the moon. According to astronomical science experts, the Lantern Festival in Guimao Year of the Rabbit "the 16th Moon of the 15th" is still the annual "minimum full moon".

"Because the moment of’ looking’ in the first month of Guimao Year of the Rabbit appears at 2: 29 on February 6, the Lantern Festival in the Year of the Rabbit is’ the 16th Moon of the 15th’." Xiu Lipeng, a member of the Chinese Astronomical Society and director of the Tianjin Astronomical Society, said.

This round of the most round Lantern Festival is a bit special. It is not only the first full moon in the year of Guimao Rabbit, but also the smallest full moon in 2023.

How to appreciate this round of Lantern Festival full moon? "The moment of’ looking’ takes place in the early hours of the morning, and the public who intend to enjoy the moon can watch and shoot about two hours after sunset on the 5th. At this time, although the moon is not the roundest, it is almost the same as the roundest moment, and it has just risen and looks very big. It is not only suitable for naked eye appreciation, but also very suitable for taking photos with the ground landscape. " Xiu Lipeng suggested.

Cold knowledge! Why are you afraid of snow in skiing competitions?

03:09
There was fierce fighting in the Winter Olympics, and snow fell in Zhangjiakou on the 12th. What is the impact of snowfall on snow projects? How do each division respond to ensure the smooth progress of the event?
Reporter’s visit:
Natural snowfall is fluffy and humid.
Funa is more suitable for competition.
Xu Mengzhe, a reporter from the General Station: In fact, the impact of natural snowfall on competitions, especially snow events, is quite great. This is fresh snow, very fluffy, and it is humid.
Xu Mengzhe, a reporter from the reception desk: Look at the floor below. This is our funa. It is very hard, and our snowplow has been pressed many times. This is what meets the requirements of our athletes’ competition. Therefore, the staff are clearing the floating snow, which can ensure the normal operation of our games and reduce the probability of athletes being injured.
Winter Olympics and Cold Knowledge
Snowfall will affect the track and visibility
Why are you afraid of snow in skiing competitions? First of all, snow will affect the track. First, the temperature rise accompanied by snow will affect the temperature and quality of snow on the track, so the types and amount of waxing of athletes’ skis need to be adjusted accordingly. Second, the new snow brought by snowfall will make the surface of the track soft and increase the friction, which is not conducive to the players’ play. However, the visibility is low in snowy weather, which will affect the sight of athletes and referees. Especially for high-speed skaters, it is very dangerous. So, to what extent will the snowfall stop the game? The reporter learned from the track management that this has nothing to do with the amount of snow, but it needs the consistency of the snow surface of the track to reach a certain standard before stopping the race. There will be professionals responsible for checking and judging.
Genting ski park:
Ski doctors are all in battle
Can be transported in the first time.
On the 12th, Genting Ski Park ushered in the mixed team final of snowboarding obstacle pursuit in the snowstorm. Genting Stadium Group also conducted official training. All 138 medical staff were on duty, and on the snowy road with slope obstacle skills of more than 400 meters, four medical teams and two standby teams were waiting.
National ski jumping center leveled the track.
Snow and wind protection
Snowflakes also fell on the 12th at the National Ski-jumping Center, which is known as "the snow is pleasant". Before the snow stopped, the operation support team began to level the track. They pressed and stepped on the track to provide a safe track environment for athletes to land. Some people worry that if the snowfall is accompanied by strong winds, how can the "snow is good" be countered? It turns out that the valley of Chongli ancient poplar has a natural drop of more than 130 meters, and there are mountains on both sides that can shield or weaken the wind, and the construction of windbreak in the later period ensures that the wind speed in the take-off area of the site is below 4 meters per second.
Wind and snow blowing operation in National Cross-country Skiing Center
Clear the snow trough
On the 12th, the National Cross-country Skiing Center also held the women’s 4x5km relay race, in which the athletes used the opened snow chute. If there is snow in the snow chute, it will greatly affect the skating speed and performance of the athletes.
The mountain operation team of the venue started the emergency mechanism in advance, arranged a 20-person snow removal team to blow snow on the 5 km track to fully guarantee the operation of the event.

  "Bridge" meets Xi Chu and listens to a secret language.

  The winding Grand Canal is the "mother river" of Suqian people. Today, when the banks of the canal are becoming more and more beautiful, bridges span the banks of the canal, bearing the memories of countless Suqian people.

  "Bridge" meets Suqian and listens to the secret language of Canal Bridge. How many bridges are there in Suqian section of Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal? Let’s count them.

  North Ring Canal Bridge, Nanjing Road Canal Bridge, Development Avenue Canal Bridge, Yanghe Bridge, Canal Culture Bridge, Zaohe An Lan Bridge and many other canal bridges are either classical or fashionable, and the stories of the city are recorded in the joyful songs of canal water. Overlooking from the sky, is this place of Xi Chu particularly attractive?

  Perhaps, when you meet a canal bridge unexpectedly, someone is watching you from a distance when you are standing on the bridge watching the scenery.

  Seek seclusion by the river and explore the style of Shuicheng.

  As far as you can see, there are many cultural attractions beside the canal bridge. Canal History Museum, outdoor theater, sightseeing tower, outdoor cafe, cruise terminal ….. Garden beauty and characteristic buildings are embedded in it, which enriches the wonderful swimming along the river.

  Cross the canal bridge and walk along the riverside road to a street in the city, turning quiet into excitement. A tall building next to another, an alley after another, a new look, all tell the story about Suqian.

Swimming inventory: the "gender imbalance" between the United States and Australia, the China Navy is no longer "water"


  In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Phelps’ eight gold medals broke the 36-year-old record that was once considered inaccessible by swimmer Mark Spitz. Phelps participated in men’s 400m individual medley, men’s 200m individual medley, men’s 100m butterfly, men’s 200m butterfly, men’s 200m freestyle, men’s 4x100m freestyle relay, men’s 4x200m freestyle relay and men’s 4x100m medley relay successively at the Beijing Olympic Games, winning eight gold medals, breaking seven world records, and gaining fourteen individual medals. Phelps set an insurmountable record for others. China News Agency issued Du Yang photo



  On the morning of August 10th, on the first day of the swimming final of the Beijing Olympic Games, China’s Zhang Lin won the silver medal in the men’s 400m freestyle, while South Korean Park Tae hwan and American Zhan Sen won the championship and the third place respectively. This is also the first time that a male athlete from China has won an Olympic medal. China News Agency issued Du Yang photo


  BEIJING, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) Title: Swimming Inventory: The United States and Australia are "gender imbalance" and the China Navy is no longer "water"


  Author: Lu Chunyan


  On August 17th, "prodigy" michael phelps led the American team to win the gold medal in the men’s 4×100 medley relay final, and won his eighth gold medal in Beijing. This marks the end of the swimming event in Beijing, which is second only to the 46 gold medals in track and field. The "Water Cube" of this Olympic Games has turned into a "Water Cube", and the world record has been labeled as "fragile". The United States and Australia have their own gains in competing for hegemony, and the China Navy has also seen hope in its progress.


  "Yang Prosperity and Yin Decline" VS "Yin Prosperity and Yang Decline" The United States and Australia strive for hegemony and "gender imbalance"


  Compared with the Athens swimming event, the gorgeous performance of the American swimming team in the Water Cube can be described as "dominating the world". The results of 12 gold medals, 9 silver medals and 9 bronze medals left Australia’s 6 gold medals, 6 silver medals and 8 bronze medals far behind.


  However, Australia, suppressed by the United States, should also be respected. After all, today’s swimming world has the strength to challenge the American team, and it is Australia. The remaining 14 gold medals were divided among 11 countries, with Britain, Germany and Japan each taking two, and China, Brazil, Tunisia, South Korea, the Netherlands, Italy, France and Zimbabwe each taking one.


  The distribution of gold medals in the American swimming delegation showed a situation of "Yang flourishes and Yin declines". Male athletes won 10 of the 12 gold medals, and they monopolized five-eighths of the Olympic men’s swimming events under the leadership of Phelps. Only coughlin and Sony saved a little face for American female swimmers.


  Unlike the United States, which relies on men’s events, Australia has completely embarked on the "female route". All six gold medals in the "Water Cube" were won by female athletes, while male athletes only got three silver medals and three bronze medals. Compared with the American team, Australia’s "Yin flourishes while Yang declines" seems to be more thorough.


  "Yin flourishes and Yang declines" VS "Yang flourishes and Yin declines", and there is a gender imbalance between the United States and Australia. In August, a gender war was staged at the National Aquatics Center.


  World records are labeled as "fragile" and old records are turned into rarities.


  The Water Cube staged a "war epic" against the "world record" from the first match day when two world records were born in the four finals. Seven of the eight gold medals won by the American "prodigy" rewrote the world record, and even the only gold medal in the 100m butterfly, which was "lighter" than the other seven gold medals, was almost the same as the world record. What’s more, Zimbabwe’s Coventry started a record-breaking trip in the preliminaries.


  The birth of one new world record after another makes the audience seem to have formed "aesthetic fatigue" on the records, and a large number of newly released records really test everyone’s memory. All of a sudden, those records that have been preserved have become rare, and they can still be "immune" when such large-scale good results are released, which shows the preciousness of these old records.


  Men make history. China swims in the "Water Cube" and sees hope.


  China swimming, dormant in the downturn, finally saw the hope of recovery in the "Water Cube". One gold, three silvers, two bronzes, three 4th, one 5th, one 7th and one 8th in this Olympic Games are enough for China to get a performance score of 80 points. All these have become the best evidence that Zhang Yadong, the head coach, pointed out that China Water Army began to walk out of the trough.


  Liu Zige, Jiao Liuyang and other young players have changed the situation in 2007, and Zhang Lin’s silver medal has also shown us the progress of male athletes.


  The most significant one is the silver medal in the men’s 400-meter freestyle from Zhang Lin. Even in Barcelona, the most splendid swimming place in China, the male swimmers from China failed to grab a gold and a half silver. Zhang Lin won the first medal in Olympic history for men’s swimming in China with his own efforts and national support.


  However, we should also see that China’s swimming strength is still far from the collective advantage of the United States and Australia, and the highlights are only concentrated in three or two events. Moreover, China’s swimming does not have the domineering and winning strength of the United States and Australia.


  However, I still believe that "a single spark can start a prairie fire", and I hope that China Swimming, which finds a breakthrough point, can make a name for itself in the Olympic swimming field through its own efforts.


  "God" Phelps, the first man in the centennial Olympic Games, ascended the throne in Beijing.


  After winning the NBA championship three times in a row, the media commented that "Jordan is God wearing a jersey and playing"; Once again won the NBA championship for three consecutive times, the media commented that "even God can’t beat Jordan in his jersey". Therefore, even with bare arms, God may not be able to win eight gold medals in an Olympic Games, but the "prodigy" did it.


  Michael phelps seems to have come to Beijing to break the record. He has seven world records in eight competitions, a single Olympic gold medal record with eight gold medals and an individual Olympic gold medal record with fourteen gold medals. Phelps is proving himself to be the "Water Cube" and the king of Olympic history with figures that others can’t match.


  When Bolt broke the world record and won the 100-meter new Olympic champion, the media who liked the new and hated the old questioned the ownership of "the best athlete in Beijing Olympic Games". In fact, this is a very simple arithmetic problem. Can’t nine records beat one record? The record of eight gold medals of "prodigy" was accumulated in the Olympic Games for a hundred years, but who can say that the record road of 9.69 seconds can be kept fresh in a hundred years?


  For 23-year-old Phelps, the Beijing Olympic Games is probably just a "walk" of his brilliant career, because he will be 27 years old in four years, which is the best age for professional athletes. At that time, he will give the world the expectation of several Olympic gold medals. (End)
