The fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is a traditional festival in China-Dragon Boat Festival. For more than 2,000 years, the Dragon Boat Festival has been a festival to commemorate the folk customs of all ethnic groups in China. From rowing dragon boats, eating zongzi and inserting calamus in ancient times to today’s national fitness, epidemic prevention, dispelling diseases, expelling heat and praying for health, many ancient customs have been completely passed down, and new good wishes have been added at the same time.

Every Dragon Boat Festival, the first thing that comes to our mind is to eat zongzi-sweet, salty, meaty and vegetarian. It can be said that every family has its own housekeeping skills, and every place has its own preferences.

The reason why Zongzi can be used as the representative food of the Dragon Boat Festival is to throw it into the river to prevent fish and shrimp from biting Qu Yuan’s body. Second, it is because the edges and corners of zongzi are like a knife, which can eradicate diseases and disasters.

Eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival not only carries the feelings of home and country, but also contains the deep feelings of family and friends getting together. Zongzi is known as one of the traditional foods with the deepest historical and cultural accumulation in China.

Do you know the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival?

When it comes to the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, Qu Yuan is probably the first thing that comes to mind. According to legend, the king of Chu listened to slanderous rumors and exiled Qu Yuan. After Qin conquered the capital of Chu, the desperate Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River with a big stone in his arms. After the death of Qu Yuan, the people of Chu were so sad that they flocked to the Miluo River to pay their respects to Qu Yuan, and there was a custom of dragon boat race and eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Do you know all the names of the Dragon Boat Festival?

The record of local customs in the Western Jin Dynasty contains "Midsummer Dragon Boat Festival". The end, the beginning. " This is the earliest origin of the word "Dragon Boat Festival".

There are many names for the Dragon Boat Festival, such as Duanyang, Yulan Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Chongwu Festival, Dragon Festival, Zhengyang Festival, Tianzhong Festival and so on.

But what many people don’t know is that the Dragon Boat Festival also has the nickname "Daughter’s Day". In ancient times, from the first day of May to the fifth day of May, every family dressed up their girls and folded a pomegranate hairpin on their heads. This is considered as a ritual to avoid the "poison" in May and pray for the health of girls at home. Even if the daughter in the family grows up and marries, she will go back to her mother’s house to spend the holidays with her parents. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Daughter’s Day".

How much do you know about the custom of Dragon Boat Festival?

Besides eating zongzi, there are many customs in the Dragon Boat Festival. How much do you know?

pick

Chinese mugwort

grass

Legend has it that in ancient times, the gods had an agreement with the water monster, so long as people hung wormwood and calamus in front of their doors, the water monster should not be offended, so people liked to pick and hang wormwood on the Dragon Boat Festival, hoping to dispel demons and defend their families.

Wormwood itself has the functions of dispelling cold and removing dampness, warming meridians and stopping bleeding, and its stems and leaves contain volatile aromatic oil, which can repel mosquitoes and flies and purify the air. The smoke produced by the smoking of mugwort leaves can inhibit the spread of viruses and bacteria in the air.

boat

Qu Yuan threw himself into the river with hatred, and the people of Chu were reluctant to part with the death of his sage Qu Yuan, so many people rowed to catch up and save, which was the origin of the dragon boat race, and thus the dragon boat race became one of the most traditional customs of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the dragon boat race is an annual feast that can’t be missed. The "Hey Yo" sound of Qi Xin’s rowing inspires the players and the people watching the battle on the shore.

The ancients also wore sachets on the Dragon Boat Festival. In order to scent, repel insects and avoid plague, sachets were often filled with some traditional Chinese medicines with the function of "fragrant filth", such as clove, angelica dahurica, Pogostemon, perilla, mint, etc., which can refresh the mind, invigorate the spirit, dredge the nine orifices and prevent plague.

In ancient times, people were superstitious that the Dragon Boat Festival was the most unlucky and poisonous day of the year. Therefore, during the Dragon Boat Festival, every household should wear colorful ropes on their children’s wrists, that is, ropes made of five kinds of colored lines, namely red, yellow, blue, green and purple, to ward off evil spirits, drive away plague and turn good luck into good luck.

Dragon Boat Festival carries people.

　　Stock trading depends on Jin Qilin analyst research report, which is authoritative, professional, timely and comprehensive, and helps you tap the potential theme opportunities!

　　Produced by: Sina Finance Research Institute of Listed Companies

　　Author: ZZX

　　In April 2018, Dong Mingzhu mentioned in an interview.Shi Zeng responded domineering: "He (referring to Midea Group) is not an opponent at all. If I regard him as my opponent, I feel very sad." "I am the world’s boss in the field of air conditioning. Who is he?"

　　However, in just a few years,From "despising beauty" to "not catching up with beauty". According to the report of the first three quarters of 2023, Midea Group achieved sales of 292.38 billion yuan in the first three quarters, while the sales of Gree Electric in the same period was only 155.8 billion yuan, and the revenue of Midea Group exceeded that of Gree Electric by 136.58 billion yuan. From the perspective of profit, Gree Electric’s net profit opened a gap with Midea Group after 2019.

　　Then, why did Gree Electric fall far behind Midea Group in terms of revenue scale and net profit scale in just a few years? Is there a problem with Gree Electric’s corporate strategy and internal management?

　　Many strategic misjudgments have widened the gap between Gree Electric and Midea Group’s revenue and net profit.

　　By comparing the revenue scales of Gree Electric and Midea Group in recent years, we can also see that 2019 is a watershed between them. From the perspective of revenue, the revenue growth rate of Midea Group surpassed that of Gree Electric in 2019, and continues to increase. In addition to the HVAC business, the rapid growth of Midea Group’s revenue is mainly based on the rapid recovery of its small household appliances business after the epidemic.

　　From the perspective of net profit, Gree Electric’s net profit growth rate has been surpassed by Midea Group since 2018, and the net profit has been surpassed by Midea Group in 2019, and the gap has widened after the epidemic.

　　Gree Electric’s recovery after the epidemic is relatively weak. In terms of total revenue, the total revenue from January to September 2023 was basically the same as that in 2019 before the epidemic, but the net profit was not as good as that in 2019.

　　Going deep into the income statement, the sales expenses and management expenses of Gree Electric in the first three quarters of 2023 were 13.28 billion and 4.78 billion respectively, up by about 59% and 20% year-on-year.

　　Gree Electric mentioned in the company’s semi-annual report in 2023 that the reason for the increase in sales expenses was "the increase in product installation and maintenance fees". The author thinks that the cost increase is mainly due to the over-concentration of Gree Electric’s main business, and the air-conditioning industry accounts for about 70% of the company’s main business for a long time, lacking product diversity. Compared with Gree Electric, Midea Group’s business is obviously more diversified. In recent years, Midea Group’s continuous efforts in consumer electronics business have made the company’s revenue resilient and wide-ranging.

　　By analyzing the company’s strategy, the author thinks that the following three events may make Gree Electric be surpassed by Midea Group during the epidemic period and continue to widen the distance.

　　First, in 2012, Zhu Jianghong retired, Dong Mingzhu took over from Gree Electric, while He Xiangjian, the founder of Midea Group, retired and Fang Hongbo (Jin Qilin analyst) took over. The two sides chose different strategic paths at this critical moment. Midea group actively embraced the second curve and increased investment in new product research and development; Gree Electric, on the other hand, under the leadership of Dong Mingzhu, focused on the main business of air conditioning, and his business diversification was a little late.

　　Secondly, Midea Group complied with the trend of China’s business transformation, from scale economy to quality economy, and implemented supply-side reform and "efficiency-driven" strategy. Through the reconstruction of T+3 mode, agile operation and flexible manufacturing can be realized. Gree Electric, on the other hand, insists on the traditional mode of "pressing goods, rebate and fixing sales by production", which leads to rising costs and declining efficiency.

　　Finally, in the face of the rise of e-commerce, Midea actively implements the "two-wheel drive" strategy, which not only improves the efficiency of traditional channels, but also innovates the marketing model to conform to the development of e-commerce. However, Gree Electric’s e-commerce channel was slow and relatively negative in the early stage, which led to the online market share being surpassed by Midea Group.

　　It is noteworthy that Gree Electric entered the smart phone market in 2015. In 2017, on the first generation of Gree mobile phones, Dong Mingzhu, the chairman of Gree Electric, put his head on the boot screen of the mobile phone, and every time the user turned on the phone, he could see Dong Mingzhu’s photo with greetings from Dong Mingzhu below.

　　Although Gree Electric has never published its mobile phone sales, according to the sales data of several e-commerce platforms, the total sales volume of Gree mobile phones since its establishment in 2015 is about 40,000-50,000 units. In contrast, in 2023 alone, the total shipments of mobile phones in the domestic market totaled 289 million units.

　　In the smart phone market with many high-tech companies, such as Xiaomi Company, which focuses on cost performance, and Huawei Apple, which focuses on high-end, Gree Electric’s failure in the mobile phone market may have become inevitable.

　　The crumbling air-conditioning business in the post-cycle era of real estate

　　Lack of significant second growth curve support, business is concentrated in air-conditioning business in Gree Electric. At the bottom of the post-cycle of real estate, whether the company’s revenue can maintain the status quo may also be debatable.

　　As a daily electrical appliance purchased by every household, air conditioning benefited from the vigorous development of China’s real estate market in the past, and also ushered in its own prosperity. A number of studies show that, although there is a certain lag, there is a high correlation between the sales volume of air conditioners and the number of new houses delivered.

　　According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2023, the national real estate development investment was 11,091.3 billion yuan, down 9.6% from the previous year; Among them, residential investment was 8,382 billion yuan, down 9.3%. From the real estate market pain caused by aging and economic transformation, the author will put a question mark on the sustainable growth of Gree Electric’s revenue.

　　Review Salon is a learning platform for work exchange and theoretical discussion built by the editorial department of Financial Review for the vast number of financial review workers in China, which has played an active role in publicizing financial policies, exchanging review experience and exploring cutting-edge theories.

　　BEIJING, Beijing, March 17th (Xinhua)-Work is "lying flat", "eating heart" does not change, alcohol addiction is hard to stop, people are keen on organizing games, and playing cards to slap eggs … …

　　A few days ago, the Supervision Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Xuancheng City, Anhui Province issued the "Announcement on Accepting Complaints and Reports on Outstanding Cadres’ Work Style in the City", and the above behaviors were all within the scope of reporting.

　　The problem of "six heavy and six light" can be reported.

　　The outstanding problems of cadres’ work style accepted by Xuancheng this time are focused on the "six stresses and six despises" in environmental work for the people and enterprises: the problem of emphasizing form over content, the problem of emphasizing process over results, the problem of emphasizing procedure over effectiveness, the problem of emphasizing overweight over burden reduction, the problem of emphasizing achievements over potential achievements, and the problem of emphasizing pleasure over struggle.

　　For example, we should pay more attention to form than content, implement the decision-making and deployment of superiors, pretend to engage in form, mechanically implement policy measures and work arrangements, copy them, serve the masses well, look good, and do difficult things.

　　Emphasis on achievements over potential achievements, biased view of achievements, disrespect for objective reality and the needs of the masses, arbitrary decision-making, blind decision-making, illegal decision-making, superficial articles, image projects, keen on piling bonsai, creating bright spots, and ostentation and extravagance.

　　Pay more attention to pleasure than struggle, work lightly, be afraid of hardship and tiredness, be a "lying-flat" cadre, pursue extravagant enjoyment, "eat your heart", be addicted to alcohol, be keen on organizing games to drink, play cards and slap your eggs, and even take advantage of your position to eat and get cards.

　　In the reporting methods announced by Xuancheng City, in addition to the letter address and telephone number, there are also websites and new media channels. The announcement also includes a QR code for reporting WeChat.

　　Open more reports, engage in appraisal, and rectify the style of cadres

　　In response to the problem of cadres’ work style, in recent years, many channels for reporting by the masses have been opened.

　　In June last year, Wolong District, Nanyang City, Henan Province issued an announcement to collect clues about the problem of "lying cadres" in all units in the region.

　　The collection of clues for "lying cadres" includes 10 aspects, such as "muddling through work and being satisfied with meeting" and "‘ Statement ’ After that, nothing ‘ Performance ’ , serving the masses depends on ‘ Performance ’ " "I don’t say anything at ordinary times, I don’t know anything", and so on.

　　Last year, Hanshou County, Hunan Province launched a public image evaluation activity for cadres. According to the main image of cadres at work, the evaluation content was divided into four types: "practical, chatting, making trouble and lying flat".

　　For example, cadres who dare to take responsibility, be conscientious and achieve remarkable results are practical; The cadres who are "idle, sit and talk, tell others what to do, have a low eye, make a good statement, implement it poorly, and talk about people behind their backs" are chatty; Cadres who "don’t talk about politics, talk nonsense that they shouldn’t, buck-passing, and disobey" are mischievous; Cadres who "have low work standards, are not enterprising, muddle along, have no motivation, are helpless and let nature take its course" are lying flat.

　　In Guizhou, the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Honghuagang District, Zunyi and the Business Environment Bureau of the Joint District also set up the "Snail Award", which included procrastination, perfunctory responsibilities, disregard for the interests of the masses, and ineffective rectification of problems, and awarded the "Snail Award" in the form of monthly assessment and quarterly awards.

　　Let cadres who muddle along and do nothing have no market.

　　In this year’s Spring Festival Evening sketch "Pit", the "lying cadres" portrayed by actor Shen Teng became a hot topic for a while.

　　According to the commentary published on the website of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the treatment of "lying cadres" requires the right medicine and multiple measures. One of the most important aspects is to establish and improve a scientific mechanism for selecting and employing people, encourage them to take responsibility, identify, select and make good use of cadres, resolutely say no to "lying cadres", firmly applaud those responsible, and select "aggressive" and "dry" to avoid.

　　Zhu Lijia, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), told the reporter of Zhongxin. com that there is no market for cadres who lie flat and do nothing. The starting point of exploration in some places is worthy of recognition. However, the more important task is to improve the performance evaluation mechanism of cadres and consolidate long-term supervision.

　　Experts said that we should explore the establishment of a "negative list" of work style problems, standardize and program the daily cadre supervision system, strengthen performance evaluation and social supervision, and look at achievements, effects and word of mouth, so that cadres can’t "lie flat" or dare to "lie flat".

　　Test drive "Red Flag is back." In the past 20 years, I have heard similar news more than once, but every time before, the results were comparable to those of the national football team: the people of the whole country were expected for half a day, and the results were all disappointing. This time, the red flag is back. Is it a repeat of the same mistakes or a change for innovation? All this depends on taking out decent products to speak.

　　Because the results of Hongqi brand’s previous "comeback" are hardly satisfactory, the H7 comeback even attracted a lot of skeptical eyes, but I am a person who doesn’t like to talk about things with "inherent experience", because change will always exist, just that some people become more and some people become less. If Hongqi’s new car can let us look at it with a new eye, it is necessary to give it a chance to prove its strength. Can Red Flag H7, which has just been listed, undertake this great task? Let’s find out through the test drive in Hangzhou before this listing.

　　The Red Flag H7 Media Test Drive held in Hangzhou actually preceded the listing conference, but it was not possible to meet with you until today under the restriction of confidentiality agreement. Although the test drive report came a little late, the advantage is that I can have more time to figure out the various characteristics of this car and measure its value more pertinently according to the pricing.

　　The price of the red flag H7 for ordinary consumers jumped from 299,800 yuan. I must say that this price is not expensive! Because this is the cheapest domestic medium and large car you can buy. Imagine that you can buy a medium-sized and large-sized car with the model level and size equivalent to A6L and the configuration level reaching A6L middle and high level (the asking price of the Audi A6L with the same configuration is at least 450,000 yuan) with the money of buying a low-priced Audi A4L, which is very cost-effective in any case.

　　In the past, Hongqi failed many times in the process of marketization. On the one hand, it lacked competitive products (waistcoats built by obsolete Audi and Lincoln), and on the other hand, its positioning price was out of touch with the market (Hongqi is more expensive than the prototype). This time, the marketing strategy of Hongqi H7 is quite rational. The 2.0T offers three models, which is believed to be the main sales model. The price of 300,000-400,000 is also the most mainstream and most popular price range of this kind of car. The significance of the 3.0L model is to upgrade the brand grade. There is little difference between the 2.0T and 3.0L models in terms of configuration. Which one is more cost-effective? Please click to view the "Red Flag H7 Car Purchase Guide".

　

　　The biggest question: Is H7 the red flag of "China people"?

　　I believe this is the most eager answer for all China people who are concerned about the red flag brand. As for the origin of the red flag of the "national car", it is mainly because there was a similar "criminal record" in the history of the red flag, so when the brand-new red flag H7 was born, it is inevitable that there will be doubts in this respect. There are even rumors that H7 is the "vest" version of the new Crown, or that the 2.0T engine comes from the 2.0TFSI of Audi A6L, etc … Is this true?

　　With these questions, I specially found Dr. Li, who was in charge of the research and development of Hongqi H7 project, at the test drive meeting of Hongqi H7. Dr. Li told me with certainty that Hongqi H7 was the first model developed by FAW Car in full accordance with the forward direction, and every step was done in accordance with the development procedures of international mainstream automobile manufacturers from project establishment, design finalization, prototype trial production, prototype testing, factory trial production to official production. The saying that "the V6 engine comes from Crown and the 2.0T engine comes from Audi" is completely wrong, and the engine of Hongqi H7 was built from scratch.

　　In fact, if you do a little careful research, you will find that the cylinder diameter, stroke and compression ratio of the 2.5L and 3.0L engines carried by Hongqi H7 are completely different from those of Toyota V6 engine. In addition, the angle between the two cylinders of Hongqi V6 engine is 90, while the angle between the two cylinders of Toyota Crown V6 engine is 60, which shows that the two engines are not even the same in infrastructure. To put it bluntly, they are two completely different engines without any blood relationship. So the myth that "H7 uses Crown Engine" can be terminated here.

　　Dr. Li introduced the story behind Hongqi H7 engine. In fact, 2.0T and 3.0L V6 engines, as well as the 2.5L V6 engine specially designed for government procurement, all came from the same technical platform. As early as the establishment of Hongqi H7 project, FAW decided to build a complete engine technology platform, which started with a single-cylinder experimental machine with a displacement of 0.5L. This single-cylinder experimental machine is used to verify its combustion characteristics, and after all aspects of performance are verified, the finished engines with different cylinder numbers and displacements are derived from this single-cylinder engine as the technical platform.

　　At the Beijing Auto Show in 2012, FAW Car has demonstrated its self-developed engine, which is derived according to the displacement of a single cylinder of 0.5L The 4-cylinder engine is 2.0T assembled on Hongqi H7 today, while the V6 engine is 3.0L. The 2.5L engine specially made for government procurement was obtained by changing the cylinder stroke on the basis of 3.0L. In addition, Dr. Li also said that this engine platform can also make many derivative models such as V8 and V12, but not all models have been put into mass production. At present, Hongqi H7 is equipped with the first products of this series of engines.

　　I was lucky enough to get a 2.0T model for this test drive. I believe this car has the most reference significance for consumers who plan to buy Hongqi H7. After all, the price is relatively cheap. First of all, its engine, the 2.0L four-cylinder engine, was introduced clearly just now, and it is a real "China Heart". It is matched with the TD04 turbocharger produced by Shanghai Lingzhong (Audi’s 2.0T uses Bogwarner’s K03 turbocharger, which is completely different). Shanghai Lingzhong’s technology and manufacturing process come from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which itself is a world-renowned turbocharger manufacturer, and TD04 is also a tested and mature product, so consumers can rest assured in this respect.

　　From the technical standards and parameters of the engine, this all-aluminum engine adopts multi-point electronically controlled gasoline injection and supercharged intercooling technology, and adopts a two-stage and three-layer silent chain drive timing system, which makes the engine have higher performance of suppressing noise and vibration. Although this 2.0T engine does not have the current popular gasoline direct injection technology (according to the engineer, it has been reserved in the design and can be upgraded at any time according to the market demand), its power parameters will not appear backward at all, and its book parameters can completely reach the level of similar engines of international manufacturers.

　

　　The transmission is purchased from Aisin Company’s 6-speed automatic manual transmission with sport mode. At present, the specification of 6AT can only be regarded as the most basic standard in medium and large-sized cars. After all, 7AT and 8AT are quite popular, and even 9AT is ready to move. However, there is no need to be too demanding in this respect, because it is a large-sized car that is biased towards government and business purposes, and it is enough to meet daily commuting with 6AT. As for performance, we should first consider its more affordable price than joint venture cars.

　　Let’s talk about the chassis and platform of H7 again. Because of the "criminal record" of Hongqi HQ3 and Shengshi, the question of whether H7 will use the new Crown platform will naturally come. In this respect, the manufacturer’s staff said that FAW had made reference to other joint venture models in the group when developing the chassis of Hongqi H7. For example, the suspension structure really looks like a crown. After all, H7 is the first time that FAW Car is being built in the way of forward research and development, so the process of reference and learning is still essential. As for how many ingredients belong to learning and how many ingredients are developed by myself, I didn’t get the exact answer, but it doesn’t matter, we don’t have to worry too much about the lineage, whether it is a good car or not, we can only see the real chapter when we drive to the road.

　　In addition, there is good news. The technical reference of Hongqi H7 to Crown, Audi and other models is not completely accepted, because the engine architecture of Hongqi H7 is different from that of the reference model, and the parameters such as wheelbase and tread of Hongqi H7 are completely different from that of the control model. Dr. Li told us that only 5% of all the parts of Hongqi H7 are the same as the models of joint venture brands, and these 5% parts also include standardized parts in automobile manufacturing (such as bolts of general specifications of various manufacturers), so the proportion of independent procurement and manufacturing is very high.

　　As Dr. Li said, the proportion of parts manufactured by Hongqi H7 is very high, so how can we control the cost if we lose the cost advantage of sharing parts with joint venture partners within the group? This really took a lot of effort, so it is natural to pay more attention to the selection of suppliers. In addition, the annual output target planning of Hongqi H7 has reached 30,000 units, so that the cost can be shared through scale. From this set output, we can see that Hongqi H7 is not just satisfied with the thousands of government-purchased cars. The root of its survival is to really go to the market and get a slice of the purchase of individuals and enterprises. Then, in front of Audi A6L, how can it persuade us to buy a domestic car?

Tesla and relevant departments are clearing the obstacles for the landing of FSD in China one by one, realizing data safety compliance and data exit arrangement, and approaching the core of the problem-training the autopilot system with user data from China.

During the Beijing Auto Show, on April 28th, at the invitation of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, Musk flashed in Beijing. The State Council Prime Minister Li Qiang met with Musk at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. On the same day, Tesla passed the authoritative standards and requirements for national vehicle data security.

Tesla became the first enterprise in China to pass vehicle safety inspection. This is conducive to comprehensively lifting the ban on smart cars such as Tesla (such as government agencies, airports, highways, etc.).

These are for Tesla to launch its FSD service in China. On April 6th, Musk announced that Robotaxi (self-driving taxi service) would be released on August 8th, which is of special significance to the China market. Since then, the policies of relevant departments of Tesla and China have appeared, which seems to be a coincidence and echo.

Although users in China can purchase FSD software, its function has not been approved for use in China. At present, China car owners can use Tesla’s assisted driving Autopilot function, which can be turned on on the highway. FSD is a more autonomous driving assistance function, which can be used in urban public roads, including automatic parking, automatic lane change and traffic navigation.

There are many obstacles for FSD to land in China. In response to this matter, we analyzed it in a previous article.Possible solutions for Tesla FSD.

Landing in China FSD, Musk facesA dilemma: either allow China users to drive data out of the country to the United States; Either Tesla tries to get its FSD model to be trained in China, but this requires the deployment of Tesla in China.Computational powerCluster.Musk once said that the number of H100 owned by Tesla is second only to Meta.

In the former, the personal data of millions of car users leaving the country is a very challenging problem at present. The latter, let the United States allow the most advanced AI chips and computing clusters to be deployed in China, train local data and build models for local use, but the United States will not release them. The United States has repeatedly imposed restrictions on the export of the most advanced AI chips to China. What should we do?

If the China government lets the data out of the country, or finds a compromise, it will be a moment of "game change" and have a far-reaching impact. It will open the most spacious avenue for Musk’s FSD technology to be promoted globally.

Can a special middle zone be opened between China and the United States, such as a special area in Shanghai, where China’s data and American computing power clusters can be placed, and a data management organization can be established between the two sides to ensure that they are not used for other purposes, and both sides can control their own technologies and data.

Now, it seems to be moving in the direction we expected. China released some Tesla data abroad, while Tesla set up a computing data center in China.

Tesla realized the localized storage of data in Shanghai as early as 2021, but did not further process the data. From the commercial and technical point of view, it is the most efficient way to export China’s user data to Tesla’s American cluster for training.

Everything depends on human effort. On May 17th, foreign media reported that Tesla decided to set up a data center in China to train its autonomous driving technology. This is a major strategic shift for Tesla. Musk insisted on sending the data to the United States for training and processing.

Tesla has sold 1.8 million cars in China, and a large amount of data generated in the complicated traffic conditions in China is of great strategic significance for Tesla to promote its FSD technology in China and around the world.

Tesla may need to establish a data center with a partner in China. According to foreign media reports, Tesla and NVIDIA discussed the establishment of a computing cluster in China, but American law prohibits British communication from exporting advanced GPU chips to China. One option is to use a scaled-down H20 chip licensed by NVIDIA for export to China, or use the most advanced domestic GPU in China.

Musk also proposed to license its FSD system to China automobile manufacturers, and has already negotiated with a major manufacturer in China for authorization cooperation. At present, the price of FSD in China is about 64,000 yuan.

While China is investing in building a data center, Musk hopes to allow it to transmit data to the United States.

On the same day, the general data list of data cross-border scene in Lingang New Area of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone and its supporting operation guide were announced. The first batch of general data list includes intelligent networked automobile, Public Offering of Fund and biomedicine.

According to Xinhua News Agency, taking the field of intelligent networked vehicles as an example, the general data list specifically involves four scenarios, such as transnational manufacturing, global R&D testing, after-sales service and global trade of used cars, 23 data categories, such as R&D design data and after-sales service records, and 158 data fields, such as vehicle chassis drawings and product sludge models.

Liberation Daily also interviewed Tesla’s head of information technology in the Asia-Pacific region. He said that "the introduction of the list will bring more convenience to Tesla’s global business management, R&D testing and overseas market development."

These data do not include the personal information of Tesla owners, such as vehicle data, diagnostic data, infotainment system data and autopilot data, especially the video shared by users who are most valuable for autopilot system training. In the global after-sales service scenario of the general data list, there are data such as vehicle fault analysis, maintenance and after-sales records that really need cross-border flow during the after-sales process.

Shortly after Musk came to Beijing, on May 14th, the Biden administration of the United States announced that it would impose a 100% tariff on electric vehicles in China. As the future car networking is the general trend, the United States may completely block China’s (electric) cars from the United States on the grounds of safety.

The United States is trying to build a North American fortress of the automobile industry. The European Union is also launching a countervailing investigation on electric vehicles in China, but it will not completely break the chain with electric vehicles in China like the United States.

For China, the introduction of FSD is of great significance, which is just the beginning. Musk’s AI map also includes artificial intelligence company xAI, humanoid robot Optimus and so on.

There are only nearly two months left before Musk released his Robotaxi on August 8, and it seems that Tesla and relevant departments are moving towards that day step by step.

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
