My Spring Festival travel rush story: the most beautiful smile in the waiting room

CCTV News:The Beijing West Railway Station is still brightly lit in the middle of the night, and passengers are carrying big bags and small bags to their respective destinations in the crowded crowd. For Wang Linna, the captain of "036" who serves key passengers, her night shift has just begun. 

"Looking for’ 036′ in difficulty" is a warm word circulating in the waiting room of Beijing West Railway Station, and it is also a solemn promise of several generations of "036" passengers. Over the past fifteen years, the inheritors of "036" have been devoted to their posts, provided practical services, and practiced the service tenet of "treating passengers like relatives" with actions. As a new generation of successors, Wang Linna led the energetic "036" team and won the praise of thousands of passengers with sincere service.

From one person to a group.

"036" was originally the name tag number of Li Shuzhen, a passenger attendant at Beijing North Railway Station in 1970s. She was sincere and enthusiastic, and was praised by many passengers. In 1998, the second generation of "036" passenger attendants and Beijing model workers — — Song Minjuan transferred from Beijing North Railway Station to Beijing West Railway Station, bringing the excellent practice of "036" service, and the spirit of "036" began to take root in Beijing West Railway Station. In 1999, Beijing West Railway Station officially named the special waiting room for the elderly, young, sick, disabled and pregnant key passengers as "036". The fourth generation of "036" passengers, represented by Wang Fenglian, inherited and carried forward the spirit of "036" and "one heart, full of enthusiasm, to solve problems for passengers" of the older generation such as Li Shuzhen, Song Minjuan and Hu Zongying. Nowadays, Wang Linna, the successor of the fifth generation "036", is affectionately called "the most beautiful smile in the waiting room" by the passengers for his patient, meticulous and enthusiastic service.

Liu Yongxin is one of the many phone numbers of travelers who come and go to see a doctor in Wang Linna’s mobile phone.

In the summer of August, 2012, Wang Linna found Liu Yongxin who had just finished leg surgery. He was a national basketball player. Because of leg surgery, he missed the 2012 exam and failed to realize his dream of going to Beijing Sport University. At that time, Liu Yongxin was very depressed and lacked confidence in his future life, so Wang Linna comforted him to take good care of his illness and enlightened him to be optimistic. Before parting, Wang Linna also specially exchanged telephone numbers with Liu Yongxin. In the following three months, Wang Linna kept in touch with him and encouraged him to cheer up and face the future bravely like a big sister. On the phone, Wang Linna also promised that no matter how busy he was when he came to Beijing for reexamination, he would personally escort him on and off the bus.

In mid-October, Wang Linna was not on duty when he got a call from Liu Yongxin to Beijing again, and his two-year-old daughter was ill and hospitalized. There is no time to take care of the children at ordinary times, and I can’t accompany them when I am sick. Wang Linna, a mother, is very guilty. But when thinking of the passengers in need and his original promise, Wang Linna resolutely returned to the station.

A passenger wrote in her thank-you letter: "For my mother, who is seriously ill, your warm help is like a ray of sunshine, giving her infinite warmth." In this way, Wang Linna and her "036" team inherited and carried forward the traditional virtues of "036", moved forward together, solved difficulties with considerate service, warmed passengers with sincere care, and became smiling angels in everyone’s eyes.

The travelers became friends with them.

As the railway passenger station with the largest number of passengers in China, during the holiday transportation, the passenger attendants in the "036" waiting room often have to work continuously for 15 or 6 hours, but everyone never complains or shouts tired, and only leaves a bright copy to the passengers.

On October 2, 2013, the waiting room of the Golden Week was overcrowded. From 8: 00 a.m. to take over, in less than half an hour, Wang Linna has already picked up three passengers in wheelchairs. "Can you take us to the train gate?" When Sheng Litang from Lianyungang made this request, he was slightly embarrassed and uneasy. His wife suffers from femoral head necrosis, and it is very inconvenient to go home by train after seeing the disease in Beijing. Wang Linna immediately found a wheelchair to help take the patient to the waiting room, and then comforted the husband and wife: "Please wait here first, and we will send you directly to the car, don’t worry."

As soon as the Shenglitang couple were arranged, Wang Linna welcomed five more tourists to Urumqi, including an 80-year-old grandmother and a 10-year-old child in a wheelchair. Wang Linna’s footsteps haven’t stood firm, and then he pushed the old man and led the family to set off. Only when I got to the platform did I know that the five passengers were not in the same carriage. Wang Linna patiently settled them in turn before leaving.

Thinking of Mr. and Mrs. Sheng in the waiting room, Wang Linna hurried to see the car off after a busy wheelchair trip. Knowing that they would come to Beijing for treatment, Wang Linna handed in a love contact card, reminding that every waiter would serve wholeheartedly when he came directly to the "036" waiting room at the West Railway Station next time.

Willing to endure hardship and dedication is the consistent style of "036", and realizing the value of life in dedication is regarded as the standard by them. For them, tourists have become friends, even relatives. They have taken pains, regardless of fame and fortune, as long as they can harvest a smile and a greeting, it is enough.

Based on the needs of passengers, seeking development through innovation

Today, Wang Linna and her team are not satisfied with the original service means and measures. On the basis of inheriting and carrying forward the spirit of "036 Four Hearts", they have created the "One-stop Service Law" and "Five A Work Law" in close combination with reality, which has made the spirit of "036" show new charm and made new development. At the same time, the "036" team made full use of the station and the official Weibo of "036" on the basis of on-site reservation and telephone reservation, and opened the online reservation service, which further facilitated the travel of key passengers.

On January 10th, 2013, a netizen named "Passing a colorful grandson in a dream" sent a message for help through Weibo. His name is Sun Long, a student who goes to college in Lanzhou and lives in Shenyang. Before the holiday, Sun Long’s right leg was accidentally broken, so it became a big problem to go home by train for the New Year. After receiving information from the official Weibo of Beijing West Railway Station, the "036" waiting room arranged the pick-up work in advance according to the specific boarding date and train number provided by Sun Long.

On January 13th, Sun Long took the Z56 train from Lanzhou and entered the platform. With the help of the conductor, Wang Linna successfully reached Sun Long in a wheelchair. Because Sun Long’s leg injury can’t be hit and shaken again, Wang Linna tried to keep his feet steady all the way to make him more comfortable in a wheelchair. After leaving the station, Wang Linna quickly contacted Beijing Railway Station and Shenyang Railway Station to help them arrange the transfer of Sun Long’s family. During the Spring Festival, Wang Linna received a short message from Sun Long, with deep affection between the lines, expressing his gratitude to all the staff who helped him. On February 20th, Weibo, the official of Beijing West Railway Station, received a message from Sun Long again. He will take the T75 train on the 24th and return to Lanzhou. On the same day, Wang Linna also received a short message from Sun Long, hoping to get him on the bus by Wang Linna. When I saw Sun Long again, his leg injury improved obviously, but he still needed a wheelchair to pick him up. At 3: 15 pm, Wang Linna received Sun Long at the entrance on the second floor and sent him to the door of the carriage smoothly. After arranging the berth, Sun Long said to Wang Linna, "Sister Wang, thank you. You passed on your warmth and love to me, and I will pass it on again!"

This simple sentence made Wang Linna very pleased.

Fifteen years is only a blink of an eye in the long river of history, but it is a growth history for the "036" team to stick to their posts and March forward courageously towards high standards and strict requirements. As time goes by, "036" has become synonymous with advanced title, and it is also a shining railway quality brand.

Market survey of babysitters in the Spring Festival: 3300 yuan for chatting for a month without anyone doing it.

Male nannies are still a minority in the market.

  Near the end of the year, the topic of "Chinese New Year nanny’s daily salary exceeds that of 500 yuan" has attracted attention. According to media reports, during the Spring Festival in 2020, the price of domestic service personnel will all rise, and the daily salary of full-time nannies will also start in 300 yuan, and the highest can reach above 500 yuan.

  Every year when the Spring Festival is approaching, the salary and shortage of nannies will cause heated discussion. Families who need to hire nannies also say that it is not easy to find a suitable nanny during the Chinese New Year.

  So, what’s the situation of Hangzhou nanny market this year? Qianjiang evening news recently visited the domestic service market in Zhaohui, Hangzhou, and chatted with the agents and aunts.

  "Aunt in short supply? You see, we sit here every day waiting for the aunt hired by the employer. " Zhang Fengjuan, head of Chengwang Home Economics Service Department in Hangzhou Zhaohui Home Economics Service Market, said that it is now more difficult to match the needs of both parties: employers have their own set of standards for choosing people; When aunts take jobs, most of them have to weigh various factors such as labor remuneration and service intensity.

  3,300 yuan to chat for a month, no one did it.

  "Where are you from?" "How old?" "Going back to your hometown in the New Year?" … … On December 25th, Mr. Wang, a 50-year-old Hangzhou native, wanted to find a nanny for his 75-year-old mother. "My mother lives in an apartment for the elderly, and she is taken care of for eating and washing, and her actions are fairly comfortable. She just wants to find someone to talk with her and look after her at night."

  He soon surrounded a circle of aunts, but none of them had the will to take this job.

  "The monthly salary is 3,300 yuan, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Such a price will definitely not be found." An aunt from the Northeast is very honest and frank: Even though this kind of work is relatively easy, their main purpose is to make money. "Without money, everything else is useless.".

  At 3: 00 pm, there are few employers looking for domestic service, and aunts sit and chat in twos and threes, and also share some recruitment news. "I just came to an employer and lived in a five-story villa. It costs 6,000 yuan a month. Will you do it?" An aunt asked. Soon, many aunts around began to discuss. Some people estimated that "cleaning the fifth floor, cooking and looking after the children are very tired and unbearable." Someone bluntly said, "Such a heavy job is not cost-effective."

  Within a few hours of the reporter’s squatting in the domestic service center, some employers came one after another, but few of them actually signed the contract. Mr. Huang, 51, wanted to find a live-in nanny for the elderly at home. He went around the market several times and didn’t find the right one. He said, "During the Chinese New Year, my salary will definitely go up, and I can accept it, but the main reason is that there is no eye fate. Choosing a nanny depends on the eye fate."

  It’s hard to find a job after 60.

  Aunt Han from Jiangxi has been waiting in the market for several days, but she hasn’t waited for her employer. She said, the main reason is my age. "I am 62 years old this year. Many employers will think I am too old, afraid that I will not do things neatly, and I am afraid that I will have physical problems at home and cannot afford this responsibility."

  "Of course, people in their forties are the most popular," Aunt Han observed some aunts who were negotiating with their employers, and was a little unconvinced. "They are confident, mainly young, but many of them are not as experienced as me."

  During the interview, Aunt Han told reporters not to always write "nanny shortage". "Look, where is the shortage? Aren’t they all waiting aunts?" She recalled that last year, the market suddenly flooded into a group of "unfamiliar faces" aunts. These aunts said that they saw on TV that Hangzhou was "aunt shortage" and their wages were high, so they ran from Wenzhou and Taizhou. "As a result, I found that this was not the case at all and went back the next day."

  Aunt Han also complained that the arrival of a large number of "young" aunts would take away her few opportunities.

  Male nanny wronged: I can cook and wash clothes.

  "Where did you come from?" "I’m not doing it at home now. I’m a security guard."

  "Why did you come here?"

  "Being a nanny again."

  An aunt sat next to Lao Zhang and chatted with him. Lao Zhang, 51, was the only male candidate in the market that day. He changed from security guard because he felt that the income from work in the domestic industry was stable. "There are few cases of wage arrears and family warmth."

  As early as 2006, Lao Zhang entered the domestic industry. Later, because the acceptance of male nannies decreased, he began to find other jobs.

  Lao Zhang said that most families don’t accept male nannies. On the one hand, many male nannies smoke and drink, causing dissatisfaction among the elderly in the family, "ruining the atmosphere." In addition, male nannies spend more on eating and drinking at home. "For example, if a woman eats a bowl of rice, we may have to eat two bowls, which is a bit too much for the average family."

  The aunt on the side took the conversation. "The male nanny is completely uncompetitive compared with us. Cleaning, washing clothes and cooking are all done well by women. "

  Lao Zhang was anxious. "I can cook and wash clothes as well, and I am stronger than you."

  Lao Zhang decided to try again while the Chinese New Year was coming. He said, "It’s best to find a long-term nanny. If not, you can be a short-term babysitter with high salary."

  Aunties gave him advice. Generally, after the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, there will be a "replacement tide", and many nannies who used to live at home may come out to be substitutes. The salary depends on the workload of the new employer’s family, usually 300-500 yuan a day.

  Lao Zhang immediately asked after listening, "Is 500 a day to see the elderly or children?" "Children, of course."

  Lao Zhang gave a cry and stopped talking. He knows that the elderly who are seriously ill or fat are more willing to choose him.

  Chinese New Year red envelopes test the employment relationship best.

  In Zhaohui domestic service market, we know that during the Chinese New Year, most aunts hope that their employers can double their wages or give them a big red envelope. Many aunts said that employers usually give them a salary increase, red envelopes and clothes during the Spring Festival. If some employers don’t want to, they may quit their jobs or jump ship when the Spring Festival approaches, and come to the domestic market to see new opportunities.

  "But most aunts still go home during the Chinese New Year, and there are indeed a few substitutes." An aunt said.

  Aunt Ke, who is going to stay in Hangzhou for the Spring Festival this year, said that the salary for the Spring Festival is expected to be one day in 400 yuan. However, she said that domestic service agents are unwilling to raise prices too high. "They are afraid of disrupting the market, and they are afraid that the asking price will be too high and the signing rate will be reduced, which will affect their commission." So sometimes, she will make two preparations, talk to her employer herself, or go to the intermediary to sign an agreement. "Without an agreement, there is no guarantee."

  At present, Aunt Ke has a potential employer and is very satisfied with her, but Aunt Ke still wants to wait and see. "Because I need to take care of an old man with a stroke." She said that most aunts are more willing to take care of children, and their wages are relatively high. Generally, they spend more than 6,000 yuan a month to look after children and 4,000-5,000 yuan to take care of the elderly.

  In the domestic service market, we also found that most of them came from older aunts and employers.

  "Now many post-80s and post-90s couples are looking for domestic service, and they prefer to find it on various Internet platforms, which will also divert some customers. Most of the people who come to the housekeeping center to find their aunts are elderly people. " Zhang Fengjuan said that now, some young aunts will also choose to call the domestic service platform online.

Jiang Zhiqiang’s film enlightenment came from adult films and was deeply influenced by Miyazaki Hayao.


Andy Lau, Jiang Zhiqiang.
    Jiang Zhiqiang’s film legend is matched by his low-key personality. He rarely shows up in public and is rarely interviewed by the media. Few people know that his "movie enlightenment" came from adult movies, that he was a "rich second generation" who only knew how to eat, drink and be merry every day before the age of 30, that he was a "workaholic" who talked with people about movies during holidays, and that he was a "thrifty man" who only took economy class on business trips.
 
Film enlightenment

Go abroad with my father to buy movies and watch adult movies at the age of 13.
 
    Jiang Zhiqiang was born in Hong Kong in 1953. His father Cho-Toi Kong was a famous film distributor at that time. He started to work as an assistant manager in a Broadway cinema in Mong Kok in 1959, and later established Anle Film Company. Jiang Zhiqiang’s brother, Zhiwen Jiang, was the helm of Anle Film Company in 1980s. In 1980, the documentary "Bitter War" edited and produced set a new record for Hong Kong movies with Jackie Chan’s box office of nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
 
    Jiang Zhiqiang, who was born in a movie family, watched movies in the cinema where his father was the manager since he was a child. He also followed his father to buy films all over the world. Regarding Jiang Zhiqiang’s film "Enlightenment Education", people in the circle have always talked about that he followed his father to Denmark to buy a film when he was 13 years old, and watched the first erotic art film in his life. "My father likes to take children with him, so he took me and my sister with him when he went to buy films. At that time, he went to the cinema to watch adult films, and people refused to let him take two children in, so my father showed a guest card and said ‘ I’m here to buy a film, and I can’t leave my child outside ’ 。” So, Jiang Zhiqiang followed his father to watch the first adult film in his life. After watching it, his father rushed to ask him "How was it?". But at that time, Jiang Zhiqiang just watched an adult film in a daze. He didn’t know that his future life would be closely linked with movies.
 
Movie awakening

Doing nothing before the age of 30, influenced by Miyazaki Hayao after the age of 30.
 
    Dad and brother are both filmmakers. It seems that Jiang Zhiqiang should go abroad to watch movies, and then come back to take over his father’s film career, but the "legendary" story will never follow the established track. Some people say that Jiang Zhiqiang was an idle "rich second generation" before the age of 30, but he still did not forget to laugh at himself: "Where there is no rich second generation, my father is not so rich." It is an indisputable fact that Jiang Zhiqiang was really a loser before he was 30 years old. When he was young, he was not interested in movies. He didn’t study abroad as a film major, and his academic performance was not good. "I didn’t know what I was going to do before I was 30 years old. I played pranks outside all day. What I was most addicted to was betting on horses and playing mahjong, but how could I win by gambling?" Finally, one day, Jiang Zhiqiang found that he had nothing to do. He began to buy and sell movies in his father’s company, and he was fascinated with movies from then on until he officially took over the power of Anle Film Kingdom from his retired father in 1989.
 
    But what really awakened Jiang Zhiqiang was a failed experience, and there was also a movie master who had a far-reaching influence on him. When Jiang Zhiqiang saw an American cartoon in his father’s company, he spent a lot of money to promote it. His cinema only showed this cartoon, but he was defeated by Hollywood blockbusters in the same period and lost a lot of money. That failure touched Jiang Zhiqiang so much that he decided to make a comeback. Later, he saw Miyazaki Hayao’s, "I decided to buy it after watching it. This movie made a lot of money. It can be said that Miyazaki Hayao had the greatest influence on me. His films brought my career to a peak. Later, I released ten films in Miyazaki Hayao, and I became good friends with him. "
 
Film persistence

Pulling people to talk about movies during the holidays has so far been alone.
 
    As for Jiang Zhiqiang’s film story, we all know that he made a desperate investment in films and so on, and since then he has knocked on the door for Chinese films to enter overseas. We also know that he invested in the works of new directors regardless of the return and became a "bole" for a group of young filmmakers. In addition to being in charge of Anle Film Company, Jiang Zhiqiang also owns Hong Kong Broadway Cinema Line. Although he doesn’t have to worry about the management and operation of the cinema at all, going to the cinema to watch movies is his weekly homework. "I will go two or three times a week, because the audience sitting next to me is the boss, and they will tell you what to shoot." Jiang Zhiqiang also invested in art cinemas because of his personal complex. The Broadway Film Center in Yau Ma Tei and the Contemporary MOMA Broadway Film Center in Beijing have become sacred places for young artists to worship, but the cinemas are still losing money today. "See how long you can last, and how much you will lose in the end."
 
    Because of his obsession with movies, Jiang Zhiqiang is an out-and-out workaholic. He was even exposed to calling colleagues to discuss the script during the Spring Festival one year. Of course, this joke spread to boss Jiang himself and felt a little exaggerated, but he still sincerely said, "Once you find your own ‘ Love ’ I will think of it all the time. In Hong Kong and the Mainland, when you think of something, you will find someone to talk to. There is no one to talk to abroad, so I am glad that someone is as enthusiastic about work as you and is willing to talk to you. " Jiang Zhiqiang is in love with movies, but he is still alone, unmarried and childless. Obviously, such a life is not complete, but he calmly faces: "There are always many regrets in life. It is your luck to find something you like, but who doesn’t have regrets?" So I never compare with others. Now the most important thing in life is happiness. "
 
Film economy

Small companies save money and insist on flying economy class on business trips.
 
    In the spotlight, Jiang Zhiqiang and Anle’s films reflect a series of legendary movie stories, but today, Jiang Zhiqiang still keeps a low profile, and his "small company" has always maintained a scale of about 50 people, and only invests and distributes movies. Compared with listed companies such as Huayi and Bona, Anle didn’t even set foot in a star broker. At the beginning, Tang Wei and Kwai Lun Mei were only signed as friends to help. "What if a listed company has to face shareholders and make a movie that doesn’t make money? Our small company can explain itself. "
 
    Boss Jiang’s film kingdom insists on being "small" rather than "big". He is cautious when dealing with investment, and even pursues "frugality" in his daily life. Insiders often accuse Boss Jiang of being "stingy". Andy Lau joined forces with Jiang Zhiqiang to invest this time, but even Liu Tianwang wanted to make additional investment, which was three requests and four demands. Finally, he took out a piece of money to become a shareholder. Boss Jiang is also famous for his "careful calculation". He insists on taking economy class on business trips on weekdays: "I am used to sleeping by plane. For example, it takes only two and a half hours to get from Hong Kong to Shanghai. What kind of location makes no difference to me. Of course, if I fly abroad for a long time, I will choose business class, but I can’t fly first class because I am the boss. "

Intangible protection is not only inheritance but also enlightenment.

Exotic flowers, animals and birds, life celebrations … In the Li brocade interwoven with red, yellow, blue and white, warm fingers and delicate silk thread weave together the craftsman’s pursuit of beauty and respect for tradition, inheriting skills and conveying wisdom and emotion. Recently, the traditional spinning, dyeing, weaving and embroidery skills of Li nationality have been transferred from UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Urgent Need of Protection to the List of Representative Works of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This progress means that this 3000-year-old skill has grown after protection and development, with more and more inheritors and stronger survival.

  2024 marks the 20th anniversary of China’s accession to the UNESCO Convention for the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage. In the past 20 years, China has made universally recognized achievements in the field of intangible cultural heritage protection, and the transcripts of intangible cultural heritage protection in China are shining. Forty-four projects have been listed in UNESCO’s representative list of intangible cultural heritage, ranking first in the world, which is not only a high praise for China’s intangible cultural heritage protection work, but also an affirmation of China’s efforts to maintain global cultural diversity. At the domestic level, the State Council has published 1,557 national intangible cultural heritage projects, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism has identified 3,056 national intangible cultural heritage inheritors, and there are more than 100,000 national, provincial, municipal and county intangible cultural heritage list projects. These data are undoubtedly the best proof of the richness and protection of intangible cultural heritage resources in China.

  It is particularly worth mentioning that China has innovatively established 23 national cultural and ecological protection (experimental) zones, which provides strong support for the overall regional protection of intangible cultural heritage and creates a good ecological environment for its inheritance and development. Like the traditional spinning, dyeing, weaving and embroidery skills of the Li nationality, the Year of Qiang has recently been transferred from the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Urgent Need of Protection to the List of Masterpieces of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The Qiang nationality is known as the "living fossil" in the evolution history of the Chinese nation, and its ancient culture has been completely protected in the Qiang cultural and ecological protection zone. The successful practice of these protected areas has not only promoted the deepening of domestic intangible cultural heritage protection, but also provided valuable experience and enlightenment for international intangible cultural heritage protection.

  The in-depth promotion of intangible cultural heritage protection can not be separated from the leadership of the government and the extensive participation of all sectors of society. The 14th Five-Year Plan and the long-term goal outline for 2035 clearly put forward the important task of strengthening the systematic protection of intangible cultural heritage, and the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee also made important arrangements for the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage. By building a list of representative intangible cultural heritage projects, perfecting the inheritor system, promoting regional overall protection and speeding up the construction of heritage experience facilities, China’s intangible cultural heritage protection and inheritance system has been improved day by day, and the popularization degree has been significantly improved, injecting new vitality into economic and social development.

  Intangible heritage protection is not only related to the inheritance and development of traditional culture, but also to the nourishment and enlightenment of modern society. As an important part of Chinese excellent traditional culture, intangible cultural heritage originates from people’s production practice, is an important content to meet people’s spiritual and cultural needs, enhance people’s livelihood and well-being, and is also an important kinetic energy to promote high-quality economic and social development. Rural revitalization is a broad stage for the protection of intangible heritage, which gives intangible heritage a more vivid practical scene and makes traditional skills glow in the wave of rural revitalization. The two complement each other and will surely weave a colorful picture of rural cultural revitalization together. (Zhang Qing)

How often should 85% of Chinese adults suffer from periodontal disease wash their teeth?

  CCTV News:Today is "national love teeth day". According to the results of the third national oral epidemiological survey, more than 85% of adults in China suffer from periodontal diseases, which are closely related to the health of other organs in the whole body.

  Periodontal diseases are related to organ health.

  Periodontal diseases mainly include gingivitis and periodontitis. It is a common oral disease that gingiva and tissues around teeth are inflamed and destroyed under the action of dental plaque, which leads to tooth loosening and falling off.

  The oral cavity is the entrance of respiratory tract and digestive tract. Periodontal diseases not only harm the oral cavity, but also are closely related to the whole health. When periodontal diseases occur, a large number of bacteria gather on the tooth surface and periodontal area, forming erosive ulcer surface. When a large number of bacteria accumulate on the ulcerated surface, daily chewing activities can make bacteria and toxic products enter the blood circulation, increasing the risk of systemic diseases.

  Luan Qingxian, director of the Department of Periodontology at Peking University Stomatological Hospital, pointed out that periodontal diseases are linked to the heart, the brain, the lungs, the stomach and the next generation. For example, research now believes that if there are inflammatory factors in the blood, it will increase the prevalence of diabetes. Other studies have shown that the prevalence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in patients with periodontal diseases will also increase.

  Prevention of periodontal diseases and avoidance of obsolescence

  The tooth loss rate of the elderly aged 65 to 74 in China is as high as 86%, while 10% of the elderly have no teeth at all. Experts remind that missing teeth will add a lot of burden to the digestive system and cannot be underestimated.

  Tooth loosening is a slow process of physiological change, and the most effective way to avoid tooth loss is to prevent periodontal disease. Symptoms of periodontal disease include gingival bleeding, gingival swelling, pain, etc., which can cause teeth to loosen or even fall off in severe cases. Plaque and tartar are the chief culprit of periodontal disease, and adults should wash their teeth once a year.

  Some people say that it is a natural law for people to lose their teeth when they are old, and there is no need to repair them. The doctor reminded that if the teeth are missing, the balance of the whole mouth will be disturbed. If not repaired in time, the rest of the teeth will be tilted, displaced and periodontal damage will be caused.

  Children and pregnant women should pay special attention to oral health.

  Special attention should be paid to the oral health of children and pregnant women. Children’s oral examination should start within 6 months after the first deciduous tooth erupts, once every six months. The oral health of pregnant women is not only related to their own health, but also affects the health of the fetus, which may lead to premature delivery and low birth weight infants. Moreover, during pregnancy, due to factors such as hormonal changes in the body and decreased immunity, pregnant women are particularly prone to cause dental and gingival lesions.

  Small floss is a good helper for tooth cleaning.

  A large number of studies have confirmed that although periodontal disease is the most prevalent oral disease, it can be prevented and cured. In addition to brushing our teeth on weekdays, there is also a small tool that can help us clean the plaque between our teeth, and that is dental floss.

  The doctor said that brushing teeth with a toothbrush can only clean 70% of teeth, and the other 30% is the gap between teeth. Many oral diseases are caused by the uncleanness of the gap between teeth. Flossing can effectively remove residual food, soft tartar and clean dental plaque.

  How to use dental floss stick correctly?

  For patients who floss for the first time, a dental floss stick is a good choice. When you use the dental floss stick, the dental floss is directed at the gap between teeth, and gently slides the gap between teeth by horizontal pulling and oblique pulling, so that the dental floss is "C"-shaped, and then it is pulled up and down for four to six times, and then the other side, which is also the "C"-shaped, is cleaned, and then it is pulled up and down for four to six times, and finally the dental floss is slowly pulled out from the gap.

  Experts emphasize that dental floss cannot be reused. Some friends reuse the same dental floss for convenience, which is very undesirable. Because dental floss will carry a lot of germs after cleaning teeth, and these germs can’t be washed clean with water. Frequent use may bring more bacteria to teeth, so be sure to pay attention!

  There is no harm in using dental floss. As long as you master the correct use method, don’t use too much force to avoid damaging your gums, you can floss once or twice a day.

  Can you really brush your teeth?

  Do you want to brush your teeth if it bleeds? Can soft bristles brush away dirt from teeth? Xiaobian combed the eight misunderstandings about brushing your teeth and poked pictures to learn how to brush your teeth correctly!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guangzhou Winter Solstice and New Year’s Day, Cuisine Celebrates Reunion

Guangzhou Winter Solstice New Year’s Eve Food Celebration Reunion At 5: 48: 01 on December 22, 2022, the winter solstice, the shortest day and the longest night, will be ushered in again. During the Zhou Dynasty, the month of the winter solstice was the first month. In the Han Dynasty, the winter solstice was called "Winter Festival". From the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the winter solstice was "as big as a year" or "as inferior as a year". The custom of celebrating the winter solstice has influenced to this day. People in Guangzhou celebrate the Winter Solstice with great solemnity, which is known as "the Winter Solstice is a big New Year" and "the fat winter is a thin year". How time flies, no matter how the times change and the weather changes, Guangzhou people spend the winter solstice with a sense of ceremony: the ancestor worship, the sweet and delicious glutinous rice balls, and the steaming stove are all warm and reunion memories written by Guangzhou people. Tracing back to the history of "Winter Solstice", "Winter Solstice" is indeed true in history. Because "year" is the product of calendar, only when the calendar is made can the year be calculated. To calculate the calendar of a year, we must first set a starting point for calculation, called epoch. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor ordered people to observe the movement of the sun, the moon and the stars, and made the first calendar in China, Huangdi Calendar, with the winter solstice of Jiazi on the eleventh lunar month as the yuan day. From this perspective, there is a winter solstice and then a year, so "the winter solstice is a big New Year". In the Yellow Emperor, November of the lunar calendar was the first month, and the winter solstice was the beginning of the year. The winter solstice was equal to the Chinese New Year. "New Year in Winter", a family dinner with a traditional sense of ceremony, entrusted a beautiful vision of family reunion. During the nearly 800 years of the Zhou Dynasty,The weekly calendar also takes November of the lunar calendar where the winter solstice is located as the first month, and the winter solstice is very grand. "Zhouyi" says: "The first king and even the Japanese closed their doors, and business travel was not good, and they were not provincial." That is to say, during the Zhou Dynasty, on the winter solstice, the frontier fortress was closed, officials did not work, businessmen did not do business, and everyone had a holiday. Secondly, the winter solstice is a solar term, and the 24 solar terms are part of the solar calendar in the lunar calendar, which was originally obtained by the method of "vertical pole surveying", based on the sun. The "year" is derived from the lunar calendar in the lunar calendar, and the first day of the first month of each year is determined according to the cycle of the moon orbiting the earth. The sun is sunny and the moon is cloudy, which can be understood as "the winter solstice is a big New Year". On the winter solstice, the day is the shortest and the night is the longest in the northern hemisphere. In the eyes of the ancients, the winter solstice is the starting point of the transformation of Yin and Yang. After the winter solstice, the days will get longer and the yang will rise, which is a new beginning. This is an important day when the cathode reaches, and the yang will begin to grow. Therefore, Hanshu said: "The sun is the spirit on the winter solstice, and the monarch is long, so congratulations. On the summer solstice, the yin qi rises and the monarch disappears, so I don’t congratulate you. " It is considered that the winter solstice is an auspicious day and should be celebrated. Festivals The Winter Solstice in the Han Dynasty is called the "Winter Festival", and the Tang and Song Dynasties have a seven-day holiday, which is like the Chinese New Year. Now, on this day of the Winter Solstice every year, the online "North-South dispute" begins: Do you want to eat glutinous rice balls or jiaozi? In fact, Chinese’s winter solstice is not just about eating and drinking. The winter solstice has a long history from solar terms to Chinese festivals. In the first year of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty (104 BC), taichu calendar was used, and the first month was designated as the beginning of the year, separating the first month from the winter solstice.But the custom of He Dong still follows. In the Han Dynasty, the winter solstice was called the "Winter Festival". The custom of festivals is similar to that of the Zhou Dynasty. In addition to offering sacrifices to heaven and having holidays, there are also "winter worship" and "winter greetings". "History of Etiquette in the Later Han Dynasty" records: "Before and after the Winter Solstice, a gentleman lived quietly, refused to listen to politics, chose auspicious days and then saved trouble." It can be seen that around the winter solstice in the Han Dynasty, the imperial court stopped government affairs and concentrated on "He Dong". From the Han Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, the winter solstice was "as big as the year" or "as small as the year". During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, every winter solstice, the emperor was "congratulated by all nations and hundreds of people … and his appearance was inferior to that of the old dynasty." The solemnity of the "He Dong" ceremony is second only to the New Year celebration on the first day of the first month. Since then, the winter solstice has been known as the "Asian Year". The night before the first day of the first month is called New Year’s Eve, and the night before the winter solstice is called "winter removal". The "Golden Week" in the Tang Dynasty is the winter solstice and the Spring Festival. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty promulgated the national decree "False Ning Order", saying, "Yuan Zheng and Winter Solstice are given seven days off each." For the first time, it is stipulated that the "Winter Solstice Festival" holiday will be extended to seven days, which is also an important manifestation of the prosperity of the "Winter Solstice Festival". The Winter Solstice Festival in the Song Dynasty also had a seven-day holiday, "Winter Solstice is like Chinese New Year". "Dream of Tokyo" has such a record: "November winter solstice. The capital attaches the most importance to this festival. Although it reaches the poor, it is easier to get new clothes, prepare meals and enjoy the ancestors in a year. Officials let go and celebrate exchanges, just like the New Year Festival. " The Ming Dynasty’s "A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Imperial Capital" introduced the grand occasion of Beijing’s winter solstice at that time: on the winter solstice in November, a hundred officials of civil and military affairs, He Donghou, wore auspicious costumes for three consecutive days and worshipped each other with red notes, just like the New Year. During the Qing dynasty,The winter solstice is still very grand among the people. Qing Jia Lu is a monograph that systematically records the folk life in the south of the Yangtze River at the age of 18, in which it is written that "the county people attach the most importance to the winter solstice festival" and "the winter solstice is as big as a year." In 214 BC, Qin Shihuang ordered Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo to unify Lingnan, saying that "books are the same, cars are on the same track, degrees are the same, lines are the same, and places are the same", and the winter solstice originated in the Central Plains took root in Lingnan. During the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, along Zhuji Lane, people from the Central Plains moved into Guangfu several times on a large scale, and the custom of the winter solstice spread further, and it was very grand. In 1956, the report on the Winter Solstice published in Guangzhou Daily recorded that in the old days, Guangzhou people had a set of "rules" full of "Cantonese flavor" for celebrating the Winter Solstice: worshipping ancestors, eating glutinous rice, cooking glutinous rice with preserved meat, killing chickens and ducks and stewing eight treasures (referring to stewing eight rare and precious cooking materials, the specific meaning of which varies with the times and regions). According to the Collection of China Local Records and Folklore Data (Zhongnan Volume), almost all the "folk customs at the age of one year" in Guangdong local chronicles are written around the world to celebrate the winter solstice, and every family in Guangfu area regards it as as as big as a year. Different from the north, the weather in Guangfu is hot and humid in spring and summer, and warm in autumn and winter, and winter can only be truly felt until the winter solstice, so Lingnan people have taken the greatest enthusiasm to welcome the winter solstice: people who have been working in the four places have come home to reunite; The way of eating has also changed from the usual cooking mode of clearing away heat to "a side furnace", which has opened a rare opportunity to make up for winter. In ancient times, the winter solstice was an important day to worship the gods and ancestors.On this day, the emperor will hold a grand ceremony to worship heaven in the suburbs, and the common people will also worship their ancestors and pray for good weather in the coming year, and then sit around and eat, just like a New Year. Therefore, the winter solstice is also known as the "small year". Lingnan literature also talks about the tradition of the winter solstice, such as "Zengcheng County Records" (an increased edition in the tenth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty): "The winter solstice is a feast to worship ancestors"; "New Records of Conghua County" (the first year of Qing Xuantong): "On the winter solstice of the mid-winter month, families worship their ancestors and celebrate the lawsuit, such as the story of’ Yuanri’". The winter solstice in Guangzhou is very grand. "Huaxian County Records" (a block-printed edition in the 16th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty) said that "the winter solstice is celebrated by scholars and husbands. From the beginning of the day to the beginning of the day, the folk custom worships the ancestors and the Yanke, which is especially heavy than other festivals. It is called the group winter to offer a meal. " Nowadays, many older people in Guangzhou still regard ancestor worship on the winter solstice as the most important custom on this day. Cao Popo, who lives in Shabei Village, Baiyun District, has always followed the old ceremony. Every year before the winter solstice, she will buy shad in advance. "Marinate shad with salt, fry the shad skin until golden brown, seal it with plastic wrap and put it in a rice jar, which is called’ pressing winter’." On the day of the winter solstice, she will get up early to get fish, which means that there is more than enough money every year, and then put all the offerings such as roasted meat, winter oranges and glutinous rice balls in the hall to worship her ancestors. "In the past, the days were tight. After completing the ancestor worship ceremony, some of the offerings were robbed by the children to become breakfast and eaten into the stomach." Cao Popo said with a smile that life is getting better and better now, and grandchildren are no longer rare for offering sacrifices to their ancestors. The most important thing to spend the winter solstice is "group winter" (reunion). If the ancients did not reunite with their families on the winter solstice, they were often unhappy.Su Shi once wrote "A Lonely Visit to Jixiang Temple on the Winter Solstice Day": "The sunshine at the bottom of the well has not returned, and the rustling cold rain is wet and withered. Who is more like Master Su, not willing to come alone when he spends time? " Just four sentences, a total of 28 words, describe Su Shi’s inner helplessness. Although Su Shi wants to go back to his hometown to reunite with his family and spend the Winter Solstice Festival together, the real life makes him very helpless, so he has to go to Jixiang Temple alone to play. Sitting around "Tuandong", hot meals warm the stomach and heart. For Laoguang, in winter, glutinous rice balls and preserved glutinous rice are essential! "Every family makes glutinous rice balls, knowing that it is the winter solstice of the Ming Dynasty." According to legend, the original form of glutinous rice balls is a popular snack "Yuan (Yuan) Zi" in Song Dynasty, which is recorded in Dream of Tokyo. When the children finish eating a bowl of sweet glutinous dumplings, the mother often fills another bowl, saying that this is called "adding new year". The New Year has not passed, but it has grown up by one year! The round glutinous rice balls symbolize reunion and perfection, and also place a good vision for life in the coming year. According to a survey, people in Guangzhou love black sesame stuffing, glutinous rice balls stuffed with bean paste and peanut stuffing. Little one learns to make dumplings. Some families in Guangzhou will also specially cook glutinous rice with preserved meat. The ingredients of preserved glutinous rice are very rich, including mushrooms, shrimps, scallops, sausages and other ingredients. Waxy glutinous rice bears the imprint of family. When many people in Guangzhou were young, their elders made it for the holidays. Whenever a wanderer eats glutinous rice outside, he often thinks of a family sitting happily together and eating a bowl of warm waxy glutinous rice to drive away the cold.Talking about the time. Food evaluation Lao Yibo said, why do southerners eat more glutinous rice products during the winter solstice? He believes that, first, glutinous rice is sticky and has the meaning of "reunion" that tightly sticks the family; Moreover, glutinous rice has a high calorie, and eating a portion of glutinous rice in winter is more "hungry" than a bowl of rice. Pan Jianming, vice president of Guangdong Folk Culture Research Association, said that in Guangzhou 40 or 50 years ago, every household still needed to make their own small cakes by hand. Every winter solstice, zhu cun’s neighbors generally like to make meat buns, candy pills or powdered fruit. Eating nine baskets and sitting around the edge furnace is a reunion day on the winter solstice, and there is no shortage of reunion dinner. The winter solstice is difficult to attract the attention of modern people because there is no public holiday. However, in the evening, Cantonese people are still willing to get together and enjoy the reunion dinner. "In the past, most families chose to cook at home, but now they are more willing to go to restaurants for dinner, saving trouble." Feng Yi, who lives in Xihua Road, told reporters that the memory of her childhood winter solstice is inseparable from a reunion dinner. Usually, her mother cooks, kills chickens and geese in advance, buys roast meat, preserves shad, and adds fans, shrimp, fish eggs, mushrooms, radishes and other materials to make nine vegetarian dishes, and then puts them into the "octagonal bowl" with rooster patterns. "Nine dishes not only mean a long time, but also show the importance of festivals. Feng Yi said that the conditions were poor at that time, and there were usually nothing to eat, so everyone was particularly looking forward to the arrival of the winter solstice. "At the end of eating, even the stew in the bowl would be licked clean." But now, her family is used to eating the winter solstice reunion dinner in the restaurant, thinking it is worry-free and time-saving.In addition to the nine baskets, it is freezing in the winter solstice, and the edge furnace has become the best choice for Guangzhou to drive away the cold. In Guangzhou, the history of "edge furnace" goes back to ancient times. In fact, the history of edge-beating furnace in Lingnan has been nearly two thousand years. Various bronze dings were unearthed in the tomb of Nanyue King, including: Chinese bronze dings with short hoof feet, Yue bronze dings with flat straight feet, and Chu bronze dings with high hoof feet. The most noteworthy one is the Chinese bronze dings with the word "Fanyu". Every winter, the King of Nanyue can invite several courtiers to get together, enjoy singing and dancing bells and chimes, and enjoy various delicacies, and at the same time, don’t forget to have a few drinks with a rhinoceros horn-shaped jade cup. In the Qing Dynasty, Guangdong Tongzhi appeared: "Surround the stove on the winter solstice and eat it as a side stove." According to the explanation of "Guangzhou Benzi", eating hot pot and rinsing is like "beating", and because people are standing by the stove and eating food while rinsing, it is called "edge furnace". What ingredients do you use for the edge furnace? The food structure and eating style of Guangfu people who spend the winter solstice also have distinct regional characteristics. Because Guangfu area is surrounded by rivers and seas and rich in aquatic products, its food structure reflects the characteristics of products in large rivers and seas. Guangzhou people love to eat raw fish in winter. Qu Dajun mentioned in "Guangdong New Language": "Cantonese customs are fond of raw fish, with perch, silver carp, yellow croaker, silver carp, snow carp and bighead carp as the top priority." In the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were many "Zhuzhi Ci" related to Guangzhou fish, such as "The winter solstice fish is the same everywhere, and the fresh fish is exquisite. A cup of hot wine will cool you down, which is still a fad in the past. " Traditional raw fish mostly take pomfret as raw material. "slice" with a thin knifeSlices as thin as cicada’s wings and crystal clear are made into raw fish, which is eaten with various ingredients and sauces. In the early morning of the winter solstice, various residential areas in Guangzhou became lively, and every household bought fish and meat. On the night of the winter solstice, the weather is getting colder. In addition to raw fish, people in Guangzhou also like to "edge the stove". Shrimp, squid, pork liver, lettuce, chrysanthemum, spinach, etc., the meat is cut into pieces, and the fish is cut into two pieces that are connected like butterflies, which are put into the soup and eaten immediately. This method is called "crossing the river with sand". However, with the change of the times, everyone gradually realized that the risk of parasites eating raw fish was extremely high, so they changed to eating cooked food by the side stove. Guangzhou people especially like radishes on the winter solstice. As the saying goes, "Radish in winter solstice and ginger in summer solstice, eating at the right time is not painful", which means eating the right food in different seasons to achieve the purpose of health preservation. In winter, people are accustomed to tonic and do little exercise every day, so it is easy to generate heat and phlegm in the body. Eating radish can stop coughing, quench thirst and promote the qi of viscera, while eating ginger in summer can increase appetite and promote digestion. In ancient times, people didn’t have mobile phones, computers, entertainment, air conditioning and heating, but even if the weather is cold, they should live a good life. Going home to visit relatives, seeking roots and visiting friends and hiking to enjoy the scenery has become an important activity of the winter solstice. Guangzhou people have the custom of going to Luogang to enjoy the "snow" on the winter solstice since ancient times. Luogang Xiangxue, one of the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng, has presented a beautiful landscape of "Shili Meilin" for thousands of years and has become one of the resorts for Guangzhou people to punch cards in the winter solstice. According to records, the cultivation of green plums in Luogang area originated in the Song Dynasty.Because of its unique natural environment, it often blooms twice. In the 1950s and 1960s, Meiyuan stretched for dozens of miles, commonly known as "Shili Meilin". Before and after the winter solstice every year, plum blossoms are in full bloom everywhere, white and crystal clear, full of fragrance, and the wind pulls flowers and dances, not flying snow is better than flying snow. Nowadays, in addition to Luogang Xiangxue Park, there are many places to enjoy the "snow". Plum Valley in Baiyun Mountain has about 600 varieties of plum trees such as Meizhou Palace Powder and Chaotang Palace Powder. Every time plum blossoms are in full bloom, hundreds of plum blossoms compete to open; There are nearly 60 Bai Mei plants in the Four Gentlemen Garden of Baiyun Lake, and the rippling water is just a stone’s throw away, so the Meilin landscape near the lake is particularly elegant. Fat and thin in winter, dry and wet in winter, Guangfu people often say "fat and thin in winter", and winter is more abundant than Chinese New Year. In fact, the saying that fat winter is thin has appeared as early as the Song Dynasty. Song people attached great importance to the winter solstice, but why was it a fat winter and thin year? Jin Yingzhi’s historical notes of the Southern Song Dynasty, The Drunken Weng Tan Lu, are analyzed as follows: "The capital city (now Hangzhou) has three major festivals: cold food, winter solstice and New Year’s Day (now Spring Festival) … Therefore, many people ask about each other’s legacy (greet each other and visit each other), and they will not talk about it until they are old or have insufficient financial resources. There is a saying that’ fat winter is thin’. " It turns out that the festival is too close, spending too much money is limited, so we have to make a choice. However, it can be seen that people pay more attention to the winter solstice than to the Chinese New Year. There are also some sayings about the weather on the winter solstice, the most famous of which is "dry winter and wet year" and "wet winter and dry year", which means that it rains around the winter solstice, and it is often sunny during the Spring Festival, and vice versa. "dry winter and wet year"Is this statement true? Experts say it’s not absolute, it’s just a folk saying. There is no corresponding relationship between the sunny winter solstice and the rainy Spring Festival. Whether it rains during the Spring Festival is mainly determined by the weather system and atmospheric circulation before and after the Spring Festival. Inheriting the white-cut chicken dumplings, waxy glutinous rice, reunion in winter must be eaten for thousands of years. Although the traditional winter solstice custom of Guangzhou people may gradually disappear in the city, many families in Guangzhou still regard the winter solstice as a big festival. Spending a big Chinese New Year holiday in Guangzhou-the winter solstice, can fully prove that Guangzhou exists as a traditional and modern city with great tolerance. On the winter solstice, Guangzhou people who are born and raised often have a family dinner with a traditional sense of ceremony to pin their beautiful vision of family reunion and spend this wonderful and warm day; And many new "Hakkas" who come from all corners of the country to settle down in Guangzhou do as the Romans do. In addition to expressing their homesickness through food with hometown characteristics, they have gradually integrated into Guangzhou’s local flavor customs, and finally condensed into Guangzhou’s rich winter solstice eating customs over time. Winter solstice, revisiting the family holiday dinner ceremony and celebrating the winter solstice according to traditional customs is still the choice of most old people. Every winter solstice night, food critic Lao Yibo’s family must eat "Kaiping Tangyuan". He was born and raised in Guangzhou, but his hometown is Kaiping, Guangdong. Every winter solstice, his parents cooked a large pot of Kaiping glutinous rice balls for the whole family to enjoy. "It is in this way that parents pin their homesickness, and it is also in this way that we remember our ancestral home."Lao Yibo said. Kaiping glutinous rice balls are solid glutinous rice balls, which are only the size of an adult’s index finger. Because of their simple production, when they were young, they always participated in the "action" of rubbing glutinous rice balls together, and glutinous rice balls of different sizes, such as big beads and small beads, fell on the plate. This soup dumpling is the "protagonist" of their winter solstice reunion dinner that night, accompanied by a home-cooked boiled chicken and a plate of boiled shrimp. The soup base of glutinous rice balls is made by boiling chicken shells. Tangyuan is the staple food, and the soup is also rich with fried shad balls, dried pork, dried shrimps, mushrooms, shredded radish and other vegetables. On a cold winter night, a bowl of warm glutinous rice balls warms not only everyone’s stomach, but also the heart of every family member sitting around a table. Boiled chicken with nine famous dishes. Matthew, a media person, is also a native of Guangzhou. He regards the arrival of the winter solstice as one of the most important comforts all the year round, just like a person taking part in a marathon, which is the most important supply station before the end of the race. In his memory, the day of the winter solstice means the time for family reunion. One of the most important things for a housewife’s mother all the year round is to prepare dinner on the winter solstice. When mother is physically able to do housework, she starts to be busy inside and out the day before the winter solstice. In the early years, the economy was not affluent, and the family had a large population. It was not easy to prepare a winter solstice dinner, but even so, I would rather scrimp and save on weekdays, and I would like to prepare more abundantly on the winter solstice day. In the early morning, she will rush to the market to buy food, kill chickens and ducks, prepare dinner, and then everyone will sit around a table.Have a big meal. What impressed Matthew the most was not only the delicious food cooked by his mother, but also the winter solstice dumplings made by his mother, which were filled with shage, pork and shrimp and served with chicken soup, salty but not greasy and delicious. This day’s waxy glutinous rice is not only delicious, but also excellent in meaning. According to mom, glutinous rice means warmth, and it is warm from the beginning to the end of the year. My mother also presents her dried bacon to relatives and friends on the winter solstice. Guangdong-style beef bone beef offal pot, take a bite for the winter, it’s really delicious. The ritual feeling of the full dinner on the winter solstice also made Matthew memorable: Mom is very traditional. Before meals, the family should worship their ancestors first, and they are not allowed to move chopsticks until everyone is here, otherwise they will have to wait even if they wait. The custom of "wintering" continues among the new generation. For Xiao Zhang, a new Guangzhou native born in 1990s, Guangzhou’s strong custom of celebrating the winter solstice has awakened childhood memories and deepened his understanding and recognition of China culture. He told reporters that in Guangdong, where traditional culture is well preserved, the winter solstice is a lively and extraordinary festival, which makes people feel warm and comforted. The winter solstice is regarded as the "sub-year-old" after the New Year. It is not only the end of a year, but also the beginning of a new year. It is a day of family reunion and happiness. Looking back on the winter solstice when I was a child, a few days before the festival, my parents had begun to prepare all kinds of ingredients for the festival, such as mutton, beef and chicken … On the winter solstice, I would see a table full of delicious food, and the whole family would gather around the table to drink, warm up, eat delicious food and chat at home. On the morning of the winter solstice, my mother will wake me up from the bed."The dumplings I cooked are cold, so don’t get up quickly." Listening to my mother’s nagging, eating round glutinous rice balls, which is the warmth of home alone. Have a bowl of warm glutinous rice balls. Miss a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls in the morning of the winter solstice, miss the reunion dinner at night of the winter solstice, miss the tender and meticulous care of parents … This winter solstice, Xiao Zhang decided to go home for the holiday, "Winter solstice is a big New Year", don’t eat dinner alone, it’s better to go home! Have a happy reunion dinner with my family on the night of the winter solstice. It is a day of family reunion to let the traditional winter solstice custom return to the winter solstice rationally. With the improvement of people’s living standards, it has long been the choice of many families in Guangzhou to have a reunion dinner in restaurants. Many people in Guangzhou began to choose restaurants to celebrate the holidays and have family reunion, so that all restaurants, large and small, were shocked (lively). Slowly, the winter solstice became one of the busiest festivals in Guangzhou restaurants in a year. After the winter solstice, the Spring Festival, when the whole family has dinner together, is approaching. In recent years, the developed take-out has promoted the dishes in the Winter Solstice restaurant to enter thousands of households. The complex and laborious "hard dishes" such as Buddha jumping over the wall and potted vegetables have met the needs of some citizens to "eat at home". Gum, abalone, sea cucumber, duck’s feet, chicken wings, pig’s hands, blessing bags … They are soaked in abalone juice, and the rich sauce is boiling in the furnace, and the rising fireworks surround the family, driving away the cold of winter nights. Compared with dishes that are cold as soon as they are put, it is more enjoyable to enjoy hot dishes while boiling. Guangdong-style mutton pot that has been passed down for five generations. This year, as the winter solstice approaches,Although it is still the choice of Guangzhou people to go to restaurants to order takeout for the winter solstice, many people plan to regain traditional customs and spend the winter solstice at home, which to some extent allows the traditional winter custom to return. Matthew is one of them. Now the brothers and sisters have already married separately, and the mother is old, and she can no longer cook and take charge of the kitchen utensils and prepare the winter solstice dinner for her family. Matthew intends to let the nanny who takes care of the elderly at home buy fresh chicken, duck and fish in the vegetable market on the winter solstice and bagged dumplings in the supermarket. Although for many people in Guangzhou, it is no longer a "standard" to eat glutinous rice balls on the winter solstice, what is needed is a sense of ceremony and a warm feeling of home. Affection and warmth are all in this hot glutinous rice ball. Guangzhou people spend the winter solstice in this way, which contains their love for life, their persistence in tradition and their great cherish for the change of years. The sky is dark and smoky, and the famous papers are handed down to celebrate the winter. Embroidered curtains are not rolled up, and it is easy to laugh and laugh. —— Yuan Ma Zhen, thousands of families have been singing for a long time, and they have traveled far and wide. Buy fish, sell wine and close the market, and cook tea to wash the guest dust. —— Ming Zhang Bi

From railway to highway, from excellent service to solving problems, take measures to "warm" Spring Festival travel rush’s journey home

CCTV News:During the period of Spring Festival travel rush, the passenger flow of Shenzhen Railway maintained a high level and rose steadily, and the peak of passenger flow before the holiday was coming. In order to meet the travel needs of passengers, since February 3, Shenzhen Railway Department has successively opened several high-speed trains at night.

At 00: 10am on February 3rd, the first night high-speed train G4598 from Spring Festival travel rush in Shenzhen in 2024 departed from Shenzhen North Station and ended at Wuzhou South Station. More than 1,000 passengers took this high-speed train to go home.

In Spring Festival travel rush in 2024, according to the pre-sale of tickets and the standby ticket purchase of 12306, the Shenzhen Railway Department increased the capacity in popular directions. On February 3-4 and 6-9, 48 night high-speed trains were added from Shenzhen North Station to Chengdu, Guiyang, Nanchang, Changsha South, Wuhan, Zhengzhou East, Zhanjiang and Chaoshan, and 6 night general-speed passenger trains were added from Shenzhen East Station and Shenzhen Station to Changsha and Yueyang.

During the night high-speed rail operation, Shenzhen Railway also contacted the local transportation department to connect with the surrounding public transportation service hours such as buses and subways, so as to realize the "zero-distance connection" for passengers to travel at night and ensure the "last mile" for passengers to travel.

Pre-holiday peak arrival "charging battery life" home road

In Spring Festival travel rush this year, there are many passengers traveling by car, which is the main artery of north-south traffic in China — — In the service area of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, the number of new energy vehicles charged these days is 10 times more than usual. Is the charging pile enough? What is the charging efficiency? The reporter came to the scene to find out.

CCTV reporter Chen Xi:I am now at the entrance of Baoding service area of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, about 150 kilometers south of Beijing. As you can see, these vehicles leave Beijing and arrive here in about 2 hours. They will refuel, eat and rest in the service area.

Facing the structural changes of self-driving travel, before Spring Festival travel rush this year, 12 high-power charging piles were built in Baoding service area ahead of schedule, and now 20 new energy vehicles can be charged at the same time. Near noon, more and more cars entered the service area. The reporter noticed that all charging piles in the service area were running at full load.

New energy owner Feng Wei:Hello, big brother, there are so many cars. When can I charge this car?

Hebei Baoding service area staff:Don’t worry, we have already dispatched, and the mobile charging car will come soon.

Huo Guoqing, Marketing Manager of a New Energy Technology Company:Four cars can be guaranteed at a time, and more than 100 trains a day (one charging car can charge), and the fixed piles here can basically meet the use of Baoding service area.

The reason why the mobile charging car can be dispatched in time is because there is a "smart brain" behind it. There are seven service areas along the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway. The "small dispatch" can dispatch the charging piles in each service area, while the smart dispatch center 100 kilometers away connects the seven scattered service areas into a "line" through the "big dispatch" to co-ordinate all 84 charging piles and 3 mobile charging vehicles on the whole expressway.

During the period of Spring Festival travel rush, the number of new energy vehicles traveling on expressways in Hebei Province is expected to reach about 3.5 million, and the charging pressure is huge. In addition to the "on-demand charging" charging method of charging piles, Hebei Province has also added 50 power stations, with a total of 65. The reporter saw at the scene that it only takes 3 minutes for the new energy vehicle to change the battery, and the replaced battery is left in the power station for charging, and the owner behind can recycle it.

New energy owner Zhou Yadong:There are still about nine hours to go to Xi ‘an, about once every 200 kilometers (battery) and four times (battery to Xi ‘an). It is more convenient to change electricity all the way through our route.

In order to cope with the large passenger flow in Spring Festival travel rush this year, the Hebei Provincial Department of Transportation built 293 highway charging piles in 2023, with a total of 962; 50 new power stations have been added, which is more than three times higher than before, fully ensuring the "rechargeable battery life" on Spring Festival travel rush Road.

Experts from the Ministry of Commerce: This is in line with the overall situation of stabilizing foreign trade, and the results may appear at the beginning of next year

  A few days ago, with the optimization and adjustment of national epidemic prevention and control measures, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Guangdong, Fujian and other places began to organize business charter flights for foreign trade enterprises to attract investment overseas.

  Suzhou, the first city to take action, has already got back 1.86 billion US dollars of intended investment from Japanese companies and won over 1 billion yuan of foreign trade orders in the first round of investment delegation to Japan. In the early morning of December 9, Suzhou once again organized a charter flight to Europe. At the same time, Hainan Province, led by Hainan International Economic Development Bureau, sent the first overseas investment delegation to Japan to carry out in-depth investment promotion activities. Jiangxi Province, hosted by the Department of Commerce and co-organized by the Jiangxi General Chamber of Commerce in Japan, held the "Online Promotion Conference of Overseas Investment Promotion in Jiangxi Province (Tokyo, Japan)" to discuss cooperation through Internet connection. On December 9th, Hunan Merchants Group also set off for Africa … … Fighting for the economy and grabbing orders has become a concerted action in various places, and it is expected that more provinces and cities will join.

  Bai Ming, deputy director of the International Market Research Institute of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, said in an interview with the Red Star journalist that it is in line with the overall situation of stabilizing foreign trade for local organizations to invest abroad. Lack of orders is the pressure that foreign trade is facing at present. It is only one way to grab orders through government charter flights, but it is not a normal measure. He believes that the results of this batch of orders will be reflected in the economic data at the beginning of next year.

  ↑ Jiaxing, Zhejiang organized a charter flight to Japan to grab orders.

  Many provinces and cities organized groups to grab orders abroad.

  Going to Japan and Europe is the mainstream, and Africa has also become a destination.

  On December 7th, according to the WeChat official account news of "Jiangsu Publishing" WeChat, from November 17th to 23rd, Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce organized a charter flight service to Japan, which became the first charter flight service organized by a large-scale economic and trade delegation at the local government level since the epidemic in 2020. The trip to Japan was fruitful and won more than 1 billion yuan in new orders.

  It is understood that this charter flight consists of 12 investment teams and 51 heads of foreign trade enterprises, with a total of 88 people. In just seven days, all investment teams visited 62 enterprises and relevant institutions, held three exchange and promotion meetings, and reached 32 investment intention projects with an intentional investment of 1.86 billion US dollars. Foreign trade enterprises actively expand the market and grab orders, visiting more than 200 Japanese customers, and striving for new orders exceeding RMB 1 billion. Charter service further consolidates and improves the level of Suzhou’s economic and trade cooperation with Japan, and strives for more orders and market share. From 9 to 18 December, Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce also organized charter flights to France and Germany.

  At 1 am on the 9th, Suzhou organized a charter flight to Europe again.

  "This time, the charter flight time was specially put at 1 am, so it was 6: 45 local time to arrive in France, and you can visit customers immediately after landing." Sun Jianjiang, director of Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce, said in an interview with Xinhua Newspaper Intersection that he had arranged to visit four customers on the first day, including two Fortune 500 enterprises, financial institutions and business associations. In an interview, Sun Jianjiang also said that in Europe, there were only 10 days, more than 230 events were arranged, and the heads of global industry heads were visited every day. In order to have a good harvest and attract more and better foreign investment projects to Suzhou, they feel it is very worthwhile.

  According to Zhejiang Daily, on December 5, all 11 districts and cities in Zhejiang Province optimized and adjusted the policies and measures for epidemic prevention and control, and at the same time, almost simultaneously promoted the action of "thousands of enterprises expand the market to grab orders" to stabilize the economy. This is a collective action and team battle led by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Commerce and led by commercial departments all over the province to lead foreign trade enterprises to find markets and grab orders. It is estimated that 1,000 delegations and about 10,000 foreign trade enterprises will participate. On December 4th, the business charter organized by Jiaxing City set sail from Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport to Tokyo, Japan, and held a seven-day business activity from December 4th to 10th, attending the AFF exhibition in Japan, conducting business visits, inspection and investment promotion activities. There are 50 companies, with a total of 96 people, including 8 merchants. It is the largest foreign trade charter delegation at the municipal level this year. On the same day, the main leaders of Jiaxing Municipal Bureau of Commerce also led a team to Germany and France to launch a six-day European investment promotion trip.

  According to the news of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Commerce, on December 5th, "Sichuan foreign trade enterprises’ business charter flights to Europe to expand the international market" set sail in Chengdu. Forty people from 31 foreign trade enterprises in Sichuan food, medicine, automobile, furniture, agricultural products and other industries will fly to France, Germany and Italy to carry out 9-day economic and trade promotion activities.

  ↑ Zhejiang Ningbo delegation went to Europe to "grab orders" according to People’s Daily Online.

  Expert analysis:

  The results of grabbing orders will be reflected in the economic data early next year.

  A person from a foreign trade enterprise in a city in Shandong told the Red Star journalist that although his city did not propose charter flights to take foreign trade enterprises abroad to attract investment, the registered enterprises can reimburse the air ticket expenses, and many enterprises have signed up.

  A staff member of Suzhou Bureau of Commerce told Red Star News reporter that at present, Suzhou has only arranged two batches of investment promotion to Japan and Europe. This is not a normalization measure. Whether to continue to carry out it in the future, I hope that enterprises will pay attention to the information of business departments in various districts and counties.

  A staff member of Hainan International Economic Development Bureau said that Hainan recently organized an investment delegation to Japan, mainly composed of government workers, with the purpose of helping Hainan enterprises go global by visiting Japanese enterprises. At present, we are also studying plans to help enterprises go abroad, such as charter flights, and we are also studying investment promotion activities in other countries. If relevant activities are really launched, they will be sent out through official channels to invite enterprises to pay attention.

  Bai Ming, deputy director of the International Market Research Institute of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, said in an interview with Red Star News that the state supports and encourages foreign trade enterprises to go abroad. Some time ago, foreign trade was under great pressure, and the government’s organization of foreign investment was in line with the overall situation of stabilizing foreign trade. On the other hand, China’s epidemic prevention and control measures are more optimized. The "Twenty Articles" and "New Ten Articles" have new requirements for aviation and entry and exit, and also created conditions for government charter flights.

  Bai Ming said that the lack of orders is the pressure on foreign trade at present. It is only one way to grab orders through government charter flights, but this is not a normal measure. With the stable epidemic situation and the resumption of various routes, enterprises may not need to wait for government charter flights. It is impossible for government charter flights to reach every place, and the time may not meet the requirements of every enterprise. With the recovery of more routes, enterprises themselves should actively go out. He believes that the results of this batch of orders will be reflected in the economic data at the beginning of next year.

  Bai Ming believes that different types of enterprises should find their most suitable way. Some enterprises have long-term overseas customers and do not need to rely on government charter flights. Some enterprises can find good local agents and rely on overseas institutions or local agents to play their role. We should also make full use of cross-border e-commerce and other channels.
