Ministry of Culture: 19 webcast platforms were investigated for violating laws and regulations.

  Jinghua Times News (Reporter Jia Ting Meng Fanze) Yesterday morning, the reporter learned from the press conference of the Ministry of Culture that 19 webcast platforms, such as Betta and Huya, were included in the list of illegal and illegal Internet cultural activities because they were suspected of containing obscenity and violence. Liu Qiang, deputy director of the Cultural Market Department of the Ministry of Culture, said that a blacklist system will be established for online platforms and anchors that repeatedly violate the rules, and credit punishment will be imposed, and business activities of violators will be prohibited or restricted.

  19 penalty results will be announced in time.

  Liu Qiang, deputy director of the Cultural Market Department of the Ministry of Culture, said that there are two main types of violations in the webcast platform investigated this time. One is that the live broadcast platform for performing arts provides online performances that promote obscenity, pornography and harm social morality. Some "anchors" sexually tease and hint through body and language, and there are violations such as "flashing" and "teasing" to win the audience’s attention and attract the audience to pay for virtual gifts, which is vulgar and indecent and has a bad social impact. Furthermore, the game live broadcast platform provides the game content display with gambling, violence and abetting crime, such as the live broadcast of gangster-themed games "Grand Theft Auto (GTA)5" and "Dragon 0", etc., with bloody pictures and abetting crime, and the live broadcast of illegal game "Zha Jinhua", etc., which promotes gambling behavior and violates social public order and good customs.

  Therefore, in order to standardize the operation order of Internet cultural market such as online performances, the Ministry of Culture issued the 25th batch of investigation list of illegal Internet cultural activities, and 19 online live broadcast platforms such as Betta, Tiger Tooth Live, YY, Panda TV, Battle Flag TV, Dragon Ball Live, Liujianfang and 9158 were included in the investigation list for allegedly providing Internet cultural products that promote obscenity, violence, instigate crimes and endanger social morality.

  Liu Qiang introduced that the webcasting platform listed in the investigation list has clear violation facts and sufficient evidence. The live broadcasting platform involved in the case should actively cooperate with the investigation, and should strictly abide by the Interim Provisions on the Administration of Internet Culture and strictly implement the responsibility of content self-examination. The Ministry of Culture has deployed comprehensive law enforcement agencies in relevant regional cultural markets to investigate and deal with the enterprises involved in the case according to law, and announced the punishment results in a timely manner.

  Violation of the "anchor" will be blacklisted

  Liu Qiang introduced that in the next step, the Ministry of Culture will focus on establishing a long-term management mechanism, and plan to introduce policies to strengthen the management of online performances, and standardize the key links of online performances in terms of management of business entities and post-event supervision.

  In addition, a warning list and blacklist system for illegal webcasting platforms and illegal "anchors" will be established, and the behaviors of webcasting platforms and "anchors" will be restrained through the credit punishment mechanism to strengthen industry self-discipline. For anchors who repeatedly violate the rules, the platform will be required not to accept them for anchor business; For live broadcast platforms that repeatedly violate the rules, it is possible to stop providing their content.

  Liu Qiang said that the current popular mobile APP is not an extra-legal place. It is similar in content and form to the webcast platform and will be included in the management process.

  We will continue to improve the platform supervision mechanism.

  Companies including Betta TV, Tiger Tooth Live, 9158, YY, etc. all responded that they will actively cooperate with the actions of relevant state departments, strengthen the audit management of the platform, and jointly purify the network environment.

  Betta TV said that yesterday morning, Betta and a number of peers participated in the forum of network culture business units organized by the Ministry of Culture, listened to the publicity and management requirements of laws and regulations, and jointly discussed the development norms of the industry. Betta hopes to provide users with quality live broadcast service through its own efforts.

  Huya Live also said that it will always adhere to a positive and healthy operation idea, resist vulgar content, resolutely support and cooperate with the actions of relevant state departments, and call on peers to jointly safeguard the green environment of the industry and promote the healthy development of the industry.

  Tiange Group, which belongs to 9158, responded that this time it was notified by the Ministry of Culture that individual anchors in the platform had performed vulgar performances, and the group had closed the rooms and anchors in time.

  "The results announced by the Ministry of Culture today are a wake-up call for us and the whole industry, which will enable all platforms in the industry to continue to strengthen the supervision of their own platforms and more effectively promote the sound development of the live broadcast industry." Tiange Group said that they will invest more manpower, material resources and financial resources, continue to strengthen the monitoring and management of the platform, and have the confidence to do a better job in platform supervision.

  YY Entertainment responded that it will continue to improve the platform supervision mechanism and strictly investigate all kinds of illegal and vulgar live broadcast content. The penalties include closing the live broadcast, titles, confiscation of income and deposits.

  Frequent pornographic incidents on live broadcast platforms

  It is reported that in the past two years, webcasting has rapidly developed into a new Internet culture format, and live broadcast forms such as performing arts live broadcast and game live broadcast have emerged one after another, attracting the attention of a large number of netizens, and the market scale has grown rapidly. According to statistics, the number of users of the webcast platform has reached 200 million, and there are about three or four thousand live broadcast "rooms" online at the same time during the daily peak hours of large-scale live broadcast platforms, and the number of users can reach two or three million.

  At present, there are about 30 enterprises engaged in webcasting in Beijing, and the industry scale is constantly expanding. Since the second half of 2015, obscene and pornographic incidents represented by "live broadcast creating people" have occurred frequently, violating social morality and even gambling and drug-related problems have occurred frequently, and even some enterprises have used this as a means to create gimmicks for financing and listing, and online pornography is facing new challenges. In this context, the Beijing Network Culture Association launched the activity of negotiating a self-discipline convention, taking regulatory measures to solve the problems existing in the current live broadcast platform and implementing the main responsibility.

  The day before yesterday, the heads of more than 20 major enterprises engaged in online performance (live broadcast) such as Baidu, Sina, Sohu and iQiyi jointly issued the "Beijing Webcast Industry Self-discipline Convention", promising that all anchors must be certified in real names from April 18; The webcast room must be marked with watermark; Content storage time is not less than 15 days for future reference; For anchors who broadcast political, gun-related, drug-related, violent and pornographic content, serious cases will be blacklisted.

  Last night, the reporter observed on several live broadcast platforms, such as fighting fish and battle flags, and found that the convention has not been formally implemented, and many platforms have imposed certain restrictions on the performance and dress of the anchor. For example, "it is forbidden to spread vulgar and pornographic pictures, sounds, words, games and video information, causing vulgar interaction in the venue" and "it is forbidden for women to deliberately expose sensitive parts such as cleavage and buttocks". The flag platform also requires the anchor to maintain the order of the live broadcast room and deal with the illegal audience in time. However, in some live broadcast platforms, there are still naked female anchors, and there are also many viewers who leave messages to tease and ask the anchors to "take off their clothes" and "get up and watch their legs".

The 55th China Higher Education Expo (2020)

Peng Wenjun: We are concerned that since 2012, universities directly under the Ministry of Education have arranged 64 universities to be included in the designated poverty alleviation work system. Colleges and universities in our country have played a vital role in the process of getting rid of poverty, especially in the decisive year, and are indispensable forces in the process of getting rid of poverty in the whole country. In a word, the cooperation between universities and local governments in our country is mainly reflected in the combination of blood transfusion and hematopoiesis, and the combination of wisdom and ambition. In particular, the school’s resources are seamlessly connected with local needs, and the school’s scientific and educational advantages are accurately connected with local resources and development foundations. In the process of participating in poverty alleviation, each university is actively exploring and building a new mode of cooperation between schools and places in combination with its own characteristics and the characteristics of poverty alleviation points. There are mainly the following aspects:

1. Poverty alleviation through education lays the foundation for local poverty alleviation. Colleges and universities make use of the advantages of talents to increase the motivation of local development. For example, teaching, pairing, donation, the construction of smart campus, joint teaching, targeted training, and accurate selection and delivery, many measures can lay the foundation for education in poor areas.

2、科技扶贫促进贫困地区产业发展。高校的学科优势转化为地方发展的引擎,主要体现在统筹学科力量,帮助开展技术攻关。比如湖南大学医学特别有特色,对口扶贫的江华县是瑶族区域中南大学把江华县的瑶医、瑶药充分进行技术攻关,进行帮扶。湖南大学利用生物科学的优势,在定点扶贫的龙葵县攻克羊肚菌的种植技术。这些学科优势为地方脱贫起到了很好的引擎作用。

3、文化扶贫。高校的专业优势能够助推解决区域贫困。像湖南的十八洞村,习近平总书记在视察十八洞村的时候首先提出了精准扶贫,也就是说这个村是精准扶贫的首创地。最后湖南省委托湖南大学建筑规划学科的力量,为十八洞村进行援建和设计。整个村的硬件设计、文化设计全部进行包装,形成了十八洞村脱贫攻坚的模式。这也是一种文化扶持的力量。

4、消费扶贫。高校的资源优势可以为对口的扶贫地提供推手和平台,包括农副产品的生产、加工、销售,可以起到很多助力作用。

总的来讲,校地结合、校地融合对于脱贫攻坚发挥了重大的支撑作用。

The director of the film version of A Dream of Red Mansions responded why the title of the film was not called "Mu Shi Qian Meng"

According to the Sina film report, Hu Mei, the director of the film version of A Dream of Red Mansions, responded to the controversy about the film title "Good Marriage".

Wandering stars

Hu Mei: First of all, I would like to sincerely thank netizens for their attention to the film. Next, I would like to share with you my understanding of the film title: As we all know, "Mu Shi Qian Meng" said that the crimson pearl fairy grass still shed tears, and Daiyu died of tears; And "Golden Jade and Good Marriage" refers to the death of Daiyu and the marriage of Baoyu Baochai. However, does getting married mean happiness? Is this marriage fair to Xue Baochai?

In the fifth episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, the lyrics of Baochai’s "Life’s Mistake" are written as follows: "Facing the sky, the mountains are glittering and translucent with snow; I will never forget the lonely forest in the world. " The implication is that Baoyu obviously guards Baochai every day, but he can never forget Daiyu in his heart. "Even if it is Qi Mei’s case, it is hard to be flat." The word "meaning is difficult to be flat" is now an online buzzword. Although it was not initiated by Cao Xueqin, it was remembered and still used today because of A Dream of Red Mansions. I think these three heavy words are about the fate of Bao Daichai. Therefore, the title of the film is not to promote women and restrain women, and the story does not promote women and restrain women; The "alliance between wood and stone" is about the tragedy of two people, while the "golden jade and good marriage" is about the tragedy of three people. If "the alliance between wood and stone" is "great sorrow", then "the marriage of gold and jade" is "great sorrow", which is also the story that our film really wants to tell.

Thank you again for your attention. See you at the cinema.

▎ If Apple’s folding screen is released in 2027, then, in the face of Samsung and Huawei, which have been marketized for nearly 10 years, can Apple still "crush it"?

This article is the first titanium media APP.

Recently, Apple, whose market value has evaporated by more than one trillion yuan, has become the target of "singing down" in the market. As a product that contributed more than half, the sales of iPhone in China market plummeted by 24% at the beginning of the year, which attracted many investors’ concerns.

For the iPhone, although it occupies an absolute leading position in the global high-end smart phone market, the innovation of squeezing toothpaste every year attracts many users’ dissatisfaction. After the strong return of Huawei, the position of iPhone in China market has also been faltering. As far as the current environment is concerned, AI will be a lifeline for Apple in the short term, but the specific planning and application are still unknown.

"Users and the market want to see Apple make real innovations in the form and design of products such as iPhone, instead of Applying a set of molds for many years," an industrial chain person spoke to the titanium media app.

Folding screen, as a category that has been in mass production for 5 years, has become a sharp weapon for non-iOS mobile phone camp to break through in the high-end market, and the market is also looking forward to the release of Apple folding screen.

Although Apple’s style is "conservative" and the requirements for products are very high, the folding screen has been delayed, which also puzzles many fruit powders. Before, there were many rumors in the market, but in the end they all went away.

Judging from the current news, Apple’s folding screen has been developed for several years and will be released around 2027, the 20th anniversary of the release of the iPhone. However, at that time, in the face of Samsung and Huawei, which have been marketized for nearly 10 years, can Apple’s folding screen be "crushed by the latecomers"?

Mobile phone, tablet, PC, what will be Apple’s first folding screen?

Counterpoint predicts that by 2027, the global shipment of folding screen smartphones is expected to exceed 100 million units. CICC research also pointed out that the iteration of folding screen products will accelerate in 2022, and it is estimated that the global shipment of folding screen mobile phones is expected to reach 80 million units in 2025.

It is worth mentioning that statistics show that the interest rate of iOS users in folding screen mobile phones has reached 58%, and rumors about Apple’s folding screen planning and cancellation in the market have been constant.

At the beginning of the year, it was reported that Apple suspended the development of the foldable iPhone because of concerns about the durability of the folding screen. It is understood that Apple has been in contact with Samsung Display and LG Display before, but from the samples given, it still does not meet Apple’s standards, which is the main reason why Apple suspended the foldable iPhone project.

However, judging from the progress of related patents, Apple is still accelerating the layout of folding screen products.

A few days ago, the list published by the US Trademark and Patent Office showed that Apple obtained a patent on folding screen, covering a variety of products including iPhone, tablet computer and notebook computer. By making textured glass by chemical method, the problem of glass breakage at the folding place is solved. Moreover, it can effectively deal with the crease problem of the folding screen.

It is also reported that Apple transferred some core personnel of the Apple Vision Pro team to the folding screen project team, and internal executives revealed that the release of the first folding screen iPhone will be postponed until 2026, and more advanced technologies will be adopted, which is expected to be thinner and lighter than competitors’ models.

Regarding the release plan of this online foldable iPhone, Tianfeng International analyst Guo Ming Yi said that his latest survey shows that the only foldable product that Apple has a clear development schedule at present is the MacBook with a display of about 20.3, which is expected to be mass-produced in 2027.

In addition, the above-mentioned industry chain people told the titanium media App that Apple will enter the folding screen market with a high probability, but the test will be the iPad first, not the iPhone. Let’s look at the market reaction of the folding screen through the market reaction.

What is certain is that Apple has been developing foldable products for many years. What is uncertain is what Apple’s first foldable screen product will be, which may be a mobile phone, a tablet or a laptop.

Titanium Media App believes that from the perspective of market maturity, mobile phones and tablets are more likely. If it is a mobile phone, it will be listed on the occasion of the 20 th anniversary of the release of the iPhone. If it is a tablet, it is more likely to test the water first in 2026 and explore the road for the foldable iPhone in the following year.

Get up early and catch up with late episodes.

The picky apple is "too slow"

It has been more than five years since the release of the first mass-produced folding screen. In the past five years, the number of folding screen players has expanded from Samsung and Huawei to Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo and Glory, and the double-digit growth rate has also become a "clean stream" in the declining mobile phone market.

Although the current volume of the folding screen is not very large, one thing is certain, the direction of the folding screen is not wrong. In the view of Titanium Media App, the innovation of the current smart phone market has reached a bottleneck period. Before revolutionary innovation, folding screens are the right direction for mobile phone manufacturers to seek increments and enhance their experience.

Image source: IDC

According to the latest data released by IDC, the China folding screen mobile phone market shipped about 7.007 million units in 2023, up 114.5% year-on-year. Since the launch of the first product in 2019, the folding screen mobile phone market in China has grown by over 100% year-on-year for four consecutive years.

Guo Tianxiang, a senior analyst of IDC China, revealed to Titanium Media App that according to the forecast data of IDC in November 2023, the expected shipment of folding screen mobile phone market in China will be around 10 million in 2024, with the year-on-year growth rate still exceeding 50%, continuing the trend of rapid growth.

Talking about the rapid development of folding screen mobile phones, Zhao Jun, CEO of TCL Huaxing, told Titanium Media App last year, "About five years ago, folding mobile phones began to enter consumers’ field of vision. Three years ago, the market size of folding mobile phones was less than 1 million. This year, the market size of the whole folding mobile phone is close to 20 million, probably between 18 million and 20 million. The global shipment of folding mobile phones is basically growing at several times a year. We believe that folding mobile phones are the main innovation and growth point of product innovation and iteration in the field of smart phones. "

In an article about Apple Vision Pro, Vanity Fair revealed that on the edge of Infinite Loop in Apple’s old campus, there is an unremarkable low-rise building called "Mariani 1", which contains some imaginary products that Apple is developing, including the foldable iPhone.

Domestic folding screen products in 2023, titanium media App drawing

Compared with Samsung and Huawei, Apple’s research on foldable products is not too late, and may even be earlier. However, in terms of the progress of mass production and the attitude towards the market, Apple is much slower. Even if the product requirements are high, if the foldable product is released in 2026, it will be seven years later than Samsung and Huawei.

In contrast, Apple Watch is only two or three years later than Samsung. According to the incomplete statistics of Titanium Media App, in 2023, a total of 7 domestic brands released 13 folding screen products, including left and right folding and up and down folding. Among the head brands, Apple has not released related products.

In fact, it is understandable that the foldable project has been "difficult to produce" because Apple is so slow. On the one hand, folding screens are currently aimed at high-end user groups, which is a weapon for domestic brands to break through, and this is also the main battlefield of iPhone. From the perspective of sales volume, the core position of iPhone in the high-end market has not wavered. In addition, although the folding screen has a high growth rate, the tens of millions of volumes are still a small category compared with the annual sales of smart phones exceeding 1 billion. Therefore, the smaller competitive pressure has not made Apple feel a sense of urgency.

On the other hand, there are still many problems with folding screens, such as creases, especially small creases, which will become more obvious after long-term use. There are also the balance between thinness and performance, system-level optimization, etc., which are also the development problems faced by folding screens. But in the face of the future, there is still a question. By 2026, can Apple really solve these problems? Or can’t Huawei and Samsung solve it?

In addition, considering the impact of the iPhone in the market, even if the volume is currently small, Apple should indeed accelerate the mass production of folding screen products. Guo Ming said that the market consensus of iPhone shipment in 2024 was 220-225 million units, and now it has started to be repaired, and it is close to its previous forecast of 200 million units. Guo Tianxiang pointed out that the folding screen, which has greatly improved the product form, is more likely to attract consumers’ attention and stimulate their desire to change machines.

More challenges lie ahead.

For Apple, once the folding screen product is launched, the initial big sale is foreseeable, and its strict requirements will inevitably lead to the promotion of the entire foldable industrial chain. It is understood that Samsung Display is a panel company that has more scandals with Apple. It is reported that if Apple mass-produces folding screen products around 2026, it will be exclusively supplied by Samsung Display, which has supplied panels for Samsung folding screen mobile phones for many years, and it will be more suitable for Apple’s requirements in terms of production and technical maturity.

However, in the later stage, based on cost considerations, Apple will also cooperate with more panel manufacturers, just like the straight iPhone, which will promote the improvement of domestic panel supply chain technology. At present, in the folding screen supply chain, domestic products are on the rise, but we must also recognize the gap. For example, in the folding screen patent, according to Watt Intelligence, the folding screen patent obtained by Samsung Display is four times that of global competitors, and it is still far ahead.

As one of the most anticipated products in the market, in addition to the release time, there are still many challenges before Apple. First, how to set the price. As we all know, the current price of iPhone has exceeded 10,000 yuan. How to divide the price of foldable version from that of straight screen, and in which range, is something that needs careful consideration. After all, no matter how strong the product is, once the price exceeds five figures, many people will still be discouraged.

The second is how to balance the product form, lightness and performance, and the choice of folding form. Guo Tianxiang pointed out that "thinness" has become the primary factor affecting consumers’ choice of folding screen mobile phones. However, if the pursuit of "thinness" blindly leads to the decline of reliability, it will directly affect consumers’ long-term choices in the future.

At the same time, the overall cost of up and down discounts is lower, which will attract more female users. However, from the perspective of usage scenarios, the experience brought by big discounts will be better. IDC’s data also points out that although the price of vertical folding products is relatively lower, horizontal folding products have been favored by more consumers in China because they can better reflect the big screen experience of folding screen mobile phones.

"In 2023, the market share of cross-folded products increased to 68.1%, up 10.4 percentage points year-on-year. At present, in addition to being convenient to carry, consumers still lack the necessary use scenarios, and there is also a significant gap between the experience and the straight board machine at the same price, and there is still room for improvement in product quality. "

Finally, it is the experience of software. For a folding screen, if you just make the screen bigger, it will only make this category "chicken ribs". After doing a good job in hardware experience, how to make users feel the improvement brought by folding screen in software ecology is particularly important.

Guo Tianxiang told Titanium Media App that when everyone’s hardware enters a basically similar situation in the future, the software experience will become more and more important. To really make consumers use folding screen products for a long time, it is still necessary to create more suitable use scenarios through software and give full play to the characteristics and advantages of folding screens.

At present, the whole folding screen industry is still rushing, which is just Apple’s current "dilemma". More importantly, it may be to solve the problem of EU fines and accelerate the process of AI. As for the folding screen, what the market hopes is not to "skip the ticket". After all, the ten-year plan to build a car can be abandoned, and the foldable iPhone has to be a big question mark.

  In the face of this year’s severe drought, meteorological stations at all levels in our province have used high technology-a new generation of weather radar to monitor weather changes. In the middle of this month, "rain-increasing aircraft" can also be put in place.


  Yesterday afternoon, Zhao Guoqiang, deputy director of the Provincial Meteorological Bureau, visited the portal website of the provincial government and the live broadcast room of Dahe. com, and exchanged views with netizens on issues such as "fighting drought with all efforts to protect seedlings and win a bumper harvest".


  A new generation of weather radar helps drought resistance


  "After the drought, meteorological departments at all levels in the province have been closely monitoring the weather changes, and a new generation of weather radar is on.


  Zhao Guoqiang said that they have also strengthened drought monitoring and satellite remote sensing monitoring.


  Since February 3, 2009, the precipitation and precipitation infiltration depth have been observed intensively. According to the monitoring and analysis, the Provincial Meteorological Bureau issued an orange warning signal for drought on January 7, and upgraded the drought warning to red on January 29, prompting relevant departments and units to do emergency work to prevent drought, and also providing meteorological basis for the provincial party committee and government to organize leaders to carry out drought-resistant wheat watering work.


  580 shells and rockets to alleviate drought


  "According to the arrangement of the Provincial Meteorological Bureau, all parts of the province have inspected anti-aircraft guns, rocket launchers and other equipment that carry out weather modification operations. On the first day of work after the holiday on February 1, a special person and a special car were sent to Luoyang and Jiaozuo. " Zhao Guoqiang said.


  On the night of February 1st, the artificial influence workers in Sanmenxia, Luoyang, Jiyuan, Jiaozuo, Anyang and other cities stuck to the gun point, and timely carried out ground anti-aircraft guns and rockets to artificially increase rainfall and snow. A total of 18 anti-aircraft guns and 26 rockets were dispatched, and 400 shells and 180 rockets were fired. As of 08: 00 on February 2, there was light rain and snow in the affected area, which alleviated the drought to some extent and reduced the fire risk level of the forest area.


  The "rain enhancement plane" can be put in place in the middle of this month.


  Zhao Guoqiang said that according to the requirements of the provincial party committee and government, the Provincial Meteorological Bureau formed the 12th supervision team led by the bureau leaders to guide the work of drought-resistant wheat watering in Puyang. At the same time, the relevant business units of the Provincial Meteorological Bureau and the meteorological bureaus of provinces and municipalities also sent experts, technicians and mobile soil moisture measuring instruments to the fields to provide technical guidance and on-site services for farmers.


  "Not only that, but also urgently call the rain-increasing aircraft." Zhao Guoqiang introduced that he was also actively in contact with the Air Force Department on matters related to the early adjustment of aircraft. On February 3rd, the letter from the provincial government to apply for a rain-increasing plane from the Air Division has been delivered by a special person. It is expected that the rain-increasing plane will be in place in the middle of this month.


  Credit card irrigation makes great contributions. Farmers look forward to "well-to-well communication"


  ■ Business reporter Hu Zhiqiang correspondent Sean


  It saves money and effort to water the land and swipe the card. In the face of the once-in-50-year drought in the whole province, farmers’ friends have a heartfelt heart: the grassroots need benefits like "well-connected".


  Farmers can water the land by swiping their cards.


  Yesterday morning, Meng Yongsheng, a villager from Menglou Village, Xilingsi Town, Sui County, came to the transformer room at the east end of the village. He pushed on the knife, took out a card from his coat pocket, pointed it at the electric meter, and only heard a bang, "It’s time to water the ground …" Meng Yongsheng ran to his wheat field with a smile. At this time, the plastic pipe in the ground had already come out.


  Meng Yongsheng said that before the "well-to-well connection" project was realized, it would take him half a day to pour it back to the ground.


  Meng Yongsheng’s "well-to-well connection" project is a pilot project for the state to support key agricultural power projects. Meng Xiande, secretary of the Party branch of the village, said that at present, more than 800 mu of wheat in the village has been watered. If it is not the "Jingjingtong" project, I am afraid that many farmers will be worried about the lack of power lines and meters.


  Save labor, time and land.


  Li Xiangyu, director of the production planning department of Suixian Power Supply Company, introduced that the "well-to-well connection" project is also called "platform area", which refers to the well area controlled by a transformer, and is referred to as "platform area" for short. In the implementation of this project, there is no wire post in the wheat field, and the land can be watered by swiping the card. His benefits are not only labor-saving, time-saving but also land-saving.


  In the implementation, the cable is buried more than 1 meter deep underground, so that the line loss is greatly reduced without wind and rain; Secondly, the outdoor transformer is seriously stolen, the transformer is installed indoors, and the door is equipped with monitoring and alarm equipment, which can effectively prevent theft.


  Li Xiangyu introduced that the company invested a total of 4.95 million yuan last year. At present, there are 34 "well-to-well" projects in the county, benefiting more than 23,000 mu of cultivated land in this year’s drought relief work.


  The small card introduced by Li Xiangyu is the "IC" card. You can pay the electricity fee to the Dianguanzhan for recharging. After watering the land every time, you can swipe your card again, which shows the electricity consumption and balance of farmers. At the same time, the machine will automatically settle according to the charging standard stipulated by the state.


  I look forward to more investment in these projects.


  "I don’t know, I’m scared." This is a proverb in eastern Henan. In the past two days, the Business Daily reporter visited four townships in Sui County. Whether there is a village committee of the "Jingjingtong" project, the growth of wheat seedlings can be described as two days.


  Under the background of the same drought year, in the implementation area of the "Jingjingtong" project in Menglou Village of Xilingsi Town, the growth of wheat seedlings is generally better than that of other village committees. Jiangang Township is a township with good soil quality in Sui County, and Yanzhuang Village in this township is also a beneficiary village of "well-connected". Yesterday afternoon, villager Ding Baoquan watered his own wheat for the second time, and at the same time, he applied fertilizer first, which effectively enhanced the growth of wheat seedlings.


  Compared with the village committee with the "Jingjingtong" project, Wang Peichu, a villager in Li Dazhuang, Xilingsi Town, has a strong desire for "Jingjingtong". He said that if there is this project this year, he and other villagers will respond positively.


  In response to farmers’ voices, Li Xiangyu said that in recent years, the state has increased its investment in power infrastructure. If the funds allocated by higher authorities are normal, the county needs more than 1,300 "stations", and the transformation task can be completed in two to three years.


  "By then, farmers in the county can water their crops with their credit cards." Li Xiangyu said.

  Quench thirst of wheat in our province


  Business News (Reporter Guo Fushou correspondent Zu Shibao Liu Tian) Yesterday, the reporter was informed that the Henan River Affairs Bureau held an emergency meeting on drought-resistant wheat irrigation on the 3 rd, proposing to make full use of the Yellow River water and go all out to ensure the demand for drought-resistant wheat irrigation in Henan along the Yellow River.


  Niu Yuguo, deputy commander of the Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters of Henan Province and director of the Yellow River Affairs Bureau of Henan Province, said that from November last year to January this year, more than 20 sluice gates for diverting water from the Yellow River were opened one after another, and the cumulative water supply to Henan along the Yellow River was 316 million cubic meters. The maximum daily water intake for drought-resistant wheat irrigation reached 130 cubic meters per second. Among them, the emergency water diversion in January was 162 million cubic meters, which was 120 million cubic meters more than the same period of last year, which was the highest water diversion in the same period since 1980.


  In January this year, our province diverted 162 million cubic meters of Yellow River water in an emergency, setting a new high for the same period since 1980. The Yellow River Affairs Bureau of Henan Province applied to the Yellow River Committee for a water plan to divert 322 million cubic meters of water to the Yellow River in February, with an average diversion flow of 133 cubic meters per second, which has been approved by the Yellow River Committee, the highest application and approval for the same period since 2000. This means that 322 million cubic meters of Yellow River water will be used to water wheat in our province. henan business daily

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.

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.

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 …
