Dongguan will hold a hearing on improving the freight structure of various types of taxis in early June

The Dongguan taxi fare adjustment will hold a hearing in early June

The fuel surcharge plans to cancel the starting price, the onward price, and the waiting fee may increase

  On May 6, the Dongguan Municipal Development and Reform Bureau held a media briefing to reveal that Dongguan will hold a hearing on improving the taxi fare structure in early June. 22 hearing participants are now solicited from the community, and two sets of hearing plans have been announced simultaneously.

  According to the plan, the taxi fuel surcharge in Dongguan is to be cancelled, and the starting price, onward freight, and waiting fee are expected to be raised to varying degrees

  According to the Municipal Development and Reform Bureau, Dongguan taxis are mainly operated by economic contracting. After the taxi company obtains the right to operate, it provides vehicles and related management services to the contractor and collects the contract fee. The driver (contractor) operates the taxi, collects the freight, pays the contract fee and bears the fuel cost, vehicle insurance, maintenance fee and other expenses during the operation.

  At present, there are 32 taxi enterprises in the city, which are divided into three types. The first type of car (formerly "blue") obtains the right to operate by bidding, and can be operated across districts. There are three major group companies: Xiangyun, Guantong, and Huayue. The second type of car (the new "blue") is uniformly allocated by the government and can be operated across districts. The third type of car ("yellow") is uniformly allocated by the government, and the operation area is restricted. In order to cooperate with the "treatment" work, the second and third types of cars have been put into use one after another since October 2007. They are all public taxis ("public"). There are currently 29 enterprises.

  The city’s taxi capacity is 7,699, all of which are CNG/gasoline dual-fuel vehicles, including 4,369 first-class vehicles and 880 second-class vehicles; 2,450 third-class vehicles, with a total of about 15,000 taxi drivers.

  Freight Adjustment Plan ?

  According to the "Dongguan City Improves Taxi Freight Structure Plan" announced this time, the first hearing plan proposes to unify the city’s various taxi freight rates, and adjust the starting price, onward freight, and waiting fee accordingly.

  Option 1

  Adjust the starting price

  From the original "blue" 7 yuan/2 kilometers (1 yuan fuel additional per train), the "yellow" 6 yuan/2 kilometers will be adjusted to 8 yuan/2 kilometers uniformly, and the fuel surcharge will be cancelled.

  Adjust the onward freight

  After exceeding the starting mileage (2 kilometers), the original "blue" 2.4 yuan/kilometer and 2.6 yuan/kilometer, and the "yellow" 2.4 yuan/kilometer are uniformly adjusted to 2.80 yuan/kilometer (1 yuan per 357 meters jump meter).

  Adjust the waiting fee

  The waiting fee has been adjusted from the original 1 yuan/3 minutes (20 yuan/hour) to 0.5 yuan/minute (30 yuan/hour).

  The second hearing plan proposed that the "blue" and "yellow" be priced separately, and the starting price, onward freight, and waiting fee should be adjusted accordingly.

  Option 2

  Adjust the starting price and mileage

  The starting price of the "blue" has been adjusted from the original 7 yuan/2 kilometers (1 yuan fuel surcharge per train) to 9 yuan/2.3 kilometers, and the fuel surcharge has been cancelled: the starting price of the "yellow" has been adjusted from the original 6 yuan/2 kilometers to 8 yuan/2.3 kilometers.

  Adjust the onward freight

  After exceeding the starting mileage (2.3 kilometers), the "blue" is adjusted from the original 2.4 yuan/kilometer and 2.6 yuan/kilometer to 2.70 yuan/kilometer (1 yuan per 370 meters skipping meter): the "yellow" is adjusted from the original 2.40 yuan/kilometer to 2.65 yuan/kilometer (1 yuan per 377 meters skipping meter).

  Adjust the waiting fee

  The "blue" waiting fee has been adjusted from the original 1 yuan/3 minutes (20 yuan/hour) to 0.50 yuan/minute (30 yuan/hour): the "yellow" has been adjusted to 0.45 yuan/minute (27 yuan/hour).

  ■ Settlement

  The average cost of a single ride increases by more than 10%

  What impact will adjusting taxi fares have on relevant parties?

  A relevant person in charge of the Municipal Development and Reform Bureau analyzed that according to the operation data calculated by the survey, the average freight rate of the first hearing plan was 3.66 yuan/kilometer, which was 12.61% higher for the "blue" and 22.82% higher for the "yellow". The average freight rate of the second hearing plan was 3.56 yuan/kilometer for the "blue" and 3.31 yuan/kilometer for the "yellow". Compared with the original freight rate, the "blue" was increased by 9.54% and the "yellow" was increased by 11.07%. The freight level of the plan was basically the same as that of the surrounding cities.

  For taxi passengers, the fare levels of the two schemes have increased to varying degrees, which will increase passenger freight expenses, but the mileage will have different effects.

  Among them, according to the "blue" average distance (5.93 kilometers), the hearing plan compares the original freight price, the "blue" passenger increases by 1.6 yuan/train during the day, an increase of 9.1%, and the night increases by 2.12 yuan/train, an increase of 10.13%: the "yellow" passenger increases by 3.6 yuan/train during the day, an increase of 23.08%, and the night increases by 4.32 yuan/train, an increase of 23.08%.

  Hearing plan 2 Compared with the original freight rate, the "blue" passengers increased by 2.12 yuan/train during the day, an increase of 10.13%, and the night increased by 2.60 yuan/train, an increase of 12.43%: the "yellow" passengers increased by 2.35 yuan/train during the day, an increase of 12.55%, and the night increased by 2.42 yuan/train, an increase of 12.93%.

  For taxi operators, the above-mentioned person in charge believes that under the premise of current market operation, the freight adjustment plan will directly increase the income of taxi drivers. However, if the market environment, freight adjustment and other factors affect passenger flow and actual load rate, the income level will increase or decrease accordingly.

  ■ Explanation

  The adjustment of freight rates is due to the continuous increase in various costs

  The launch of the taxi fare adjustment is not unrelated to the rising operating cost pressure in recent years.

  The Municipal Development and Reform Bureau explained that in recent years, the operating environment and operating costs of the taxi market have changed greatly, and the operating efficiency of the industry has declined, especially the driver’s income has been greatly reduced. The income level is asymmetric with its labor intensity and operating risks, which affects the stable and healthy development of the industry.

  At the same time, the overall direct cost of taxi operation has risen, mainly reflected in the following aspects.

  First, labor costs are rising year by year. In recent years, due to factors such as raising the minimum wage standard, rising price index, and improving labor and social security, labor costs for enterprises have risen year by year.

  The second is the increase in maintenance costs. Vehicle maintenance costs are gradually increasing. After using dual-fuel vehicles, it is necessary to increase costs such as maintenance and testing.

  Third, the cost of vehicle insurance and accident compensation has increased greatly. The taxi industry is more risky, and it is necessary to purchase compulsory traffic insurance, third-party liability insurance and other types of insurance. With the increase in compensation for traffic accident casualties, the rate of third-party liability insurance has continued to increase. For risk protection, the amount of insurance purchased by enterprises has also increased. It has increased from the original 300,000 yuan to the current maximum 1.50 million yuan. At present, the annual insurance premium for each car is basically more than 10,000 yuan. Moreover, the insurance policy has been adjusted more this year, and the rate has been adjusted according to the number of accidents, which has greatly increased the cost of vehicle insurance. In addition, although the amount of insurance purchased has increased, the amount of compensation for major traffic accidents is far from enough, and enterprises need to compensate.

  Fourth, fuel costs have changed a lot. When the current freight rate was implemented in early 2002, the price of No. 90 gasoline was only 2.30 yuan/liter, but it has now reached 5.58 yuan/liter (No. 92 gasoline), which has risen sharply compared to the time when the freight rate was formulated. Since 2008, Dongguan’s taxis have successively implemented "oil to gas". At present, most of the "blue" use natural gas, and about 40% of the "yellow" use natural gas. When the price of refined oil is high, the cost of using natural gas fuel can be saved by up to 40%. However, compared with the price when the freight rate was formulated and launched into the market, there has also been a significant increase.

  First, compressed natural gas (CNG) for vehicles has risen from 4.2 yuan/cubic meter in 2009 to about 6.20 yuan/kg (about 4.56 yuan/cubic meter) at present. Secondly, in terms of calorific value and specific gravity, the current price of compressed natural gas for vehicles is about 5.27 yuan/liter of No. 92 gasoline, and the price advantage of using natural gas is not obvious. In the long run, energy prices are also on the rise. On the other hand, the business environment has changed a lot. The decrease in the floating population, the impact of "special car" and "network car rental", and illegal operations have reduced the actual load rate of taxis and greatly reduced driver income.

  Freight management does not adapt to the development status quo

  The current taxi freight management does not adapt to the development status quo, which is another major reason for initiating freight adjustment.

  According to the Municipal Development and Reform Bureau, the current "first-class vehicle" and "second and third-class vehicle" freight rates have been implemented for more than 14 years and 8 years respectively. During this period, the city’s social and economic development, industry management policies, public transportation development, mass travel methods and needs have all undergone great changes. The current freight rates can no longer reasonably reflect the development status of the taxi industry. In particular, the starting price, onward freight, and waiting fee in the freight structure have appeared some unreasonable situations, which need to be further adjusted and improved. " For example, the starting price of the’yellow ‘is low, and there is a phenomenon of refusing to carry and not charging meters for short-distance passengers; the starting price of the’blue’ and the’yellow ‘is 2 yuan apart, which is unreasonable, resulting in an unfair operating environment; the waiting fee standard is not suitable for the urban congestion situation, and drivers are unwilling to enter the busy road section in the central area of the town during the peak period, which indirectly causes the phenomenon of difficult taxis and road trips in the urban area during the peak period. In addition, the fuel surcharge is a temporary measure, and it is necessary to adjust the freight price in the long run to ease the impact of rising fuel costs on the taxi industry. "

  The Municipal Development and Reform Bureau revealed that from the perspective of the previous cost supervision and review, the monthly net income of Dongguan taxi drivers (two people) has dropped to between 5,163.71 yuan and 7,510.8 yuan. It is expected that after the adjustment according to the hearing plan, the monthly net income of taxi drivers (two people) is expected to increase to between 6,780.71 yuan and 10,116.8 yuan.

"Qingyu Nian" finale dug these holes, will you look for answers in the second season?

"Qingyu Nian" ended. Many people watched it, and many people didn’t, but this couldn’t stop the enthusiasm of the audience’s discussion. This Machiavellian drama is very unique, and the screenwriter and director are very attentive.

Knowing that a Machiavellian drama can’t just be a tense Machiavellian, but also relax the audience, there will be some jokes in the confrontation of power strategies, which is why this drama is popular.

And the plot does not take sweet love as the main line, which avoids the previous silly white and sweet love routine, breaks the audience’s expectations for the plot, and gives the audience a feeling of a village.

Although the first season ended, the writer and director dug a lot of holes in the show before it ended. These holes were not filled, and it seemed that the truth was revealed. In fact, the truth was revealed, which brought more problems.

First, from start to finish, it was the game of Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping

When Fan Jian questioned Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping, Chen Pingping said everything. First of all, the assassination of Teng Zijing in Danzhou was the first round of cloth.

Qing Di and Chen Pingping knew that Teng Zijing would disobey orders, so from the beginning, all the murders were done by the Supervision and Inspection Institute, and Guo Baokun just took the blame.

Therefore, from the assassination of Tanzhou to the killing of Teng Zijing Niulan Street, it was all within the calculations of Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping.

And all of this is to make Sean mistake Fan Xian for his grandson, and to inform Fan Xian about the temple without guard.

On the way to send Sean off, Chen Pingping removed the black cavalry for this purpose. Until Sean died, everything was under the control of Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping.

So, when Fan Xian found out about this, what would he do to Chen Pingping when he returned to Beijing? According to what he said to Yan Bingyun, it seemed that he wanted to seize the power of the procuratorate and train his own people, but with Fan Xian’s temperament, would he kill Chen Pingping?

Second, Fan Xian is the son of Emperor Qing

This question was undoubtedly the biggest test for Fan Xian. He unexpectedly learned from Sean that Ye Qingmei had married the current Emperor Qing and had given him a child. This person was Fan Xian.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Fan Xian, who had been regarded as Fan Jian’s illegitimate child since childhood. What would Fan Xian do?

When he was chatting with Yan Bingyun, he said something, should he be a minister or a prince?

Whether or not Fan Xian would compete for the throne, when he returned to the capital, he would be able to take charge of the Inner Treasury and the Supervision Institute, and become the first powerful minister of Nanqing. He had the ability to compete with the two princes.

III. Yan Bingyun is Sean’s grandson

Chen Pingping did not kill Sean’s grandson, but gave him a glimmer of hope, he raised his grandson into Qing people, and joined the inspection institute, hate the North Qi.

Obviously, Fan Xian’s guess was right. Yan Bingyun was Sean’s grandson, but he had been under the name of hosting Yan Ruohai everywhere.

Will Yan Bingyun find out about this? Possibly, after all, there are many people who know about this.

Fourth, the second prince is the mastermind behind the scenes

Just like Xie Bian said, everyone has weaknesses, and so does Shen Zhong. As the Empress Dowager’s first powerful minister, he has extremely high prestige and power.

But he also has a weakness, which is his sister. In order to keep his sister alive, he told the mastermind of the smuggling.

He said that the money was transferred to the Ming family, the largest family in Qing, and the head of the Ming family was the second prince and the eldest princess, and he also told the eldest princess that the real person who helped was the second prince.

Therefore, the truth of the past was revealed, and the mastermind of everything was the second prince, but on Fan Xian’s way back to the capital, the second prince threatened Fan Xian with Teng Zijing’s children, Fan Siche, and Fei Jie, and wanted Fan Xian to help him.

But Fan Xiansi people will take revenge if they have revenge.

I believe that the second season will definitely start with the struggle between Fan Xian and the second prince, but as for how Fan Xian will deal with the second prince, it is another question?

Did Yan Bingyun kill Fan Xian?

It is unknown whether Yan Bingyun killed Fan Xian, only that Yan Bingyun did stab Fan Xian with a sword, and it was not the key.

Although Yan Bingyun looked silly, he had no reason to kill Fan Xian directly. Even if he chose to make the Qing Kingdom stable, he would not kill the envoy before the envoy arrived in the Qing Kingdom.

And in the original book, Yan Bingyun joined Fan Xian’s think tank.

Therefore, there was only one possibility. This was Fan Xian’s plan again. After negotiating with Yan Bingyun, he would die and come back to life. After all, at this juncture, it was really difficult for him to choose.

The contradiction between Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing intensified

Qing Di and Chen Pingping are both old foxes. From the communication between the two, it can be found that Qing Di has been alert to Chen Pingping.

Of course, Chen Pingping was also on guard against Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing photographed the palace and monitored Chen Pingping’s every move. But Chen Pingping was the president of the Supervision and Inspection Institute and the head of the Qingguo spy agency, so how could he not find that someone was watching him.

Therefore, from the perspective of the relationship between these two people, Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing are not far away, and this should be staged in the second season.

All these holes were dug by the screenwriter and director, and naturally they were also preparing for the second season.

It is understood that "Qingyu Nian" has a total of three seasons and about 150 episodes. Zhang Ruoyun signed a five-year contract with the production company.

Yuan Xiuyue, the producer of "Celebration of More than a Year," revealed that the filming of the second season has been put on the schedule and is being prepared. She also said that the first season took a lot of time, but by the second and third seasons, she will be familiar with it, which will save a lot of time and will not have to wait for her lifetime.

Being at home is too boring? Learn to have fun in parent-child interaction games.

  With the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, the people of the whole country are united as one, and Qi Xin is united in fighting the epidemic. In this battle without smoke, in addition to the medical staff and related workers who went to the front line, ordinary people consciously isolated themselves at home, went out less and didn’t get together, trying to control the epidemic in a short time. Of course, in the days of anti-virus at home, from motionless to motionless, from motionless to motionless, people always feel that the outside world is really wonderful. And the children want to go out and have a close contact with nature.

  For this epidemic, I believe everyone has already understood that it is generally susceptible to the crowd, and the elderly and people with basic diseases are seriously ill after infection. For teenagers and children, from their physiological and anatomical characteristics and autoimmune function, respiratory tract infections are more likely to occur, and the younger they are, the less likely they are to be found. Once they get sick, they progress faster. Recently, the number of cases of children infected with novel coronavirus has gradually increased, and the smallest infected person is a baby less than 3 months old. Therefore, daily protection and observation at home are the key points to prevent infection among teenagers and children. However, it is children’s nature to move and play. In the face of this epidemic, exercise is also an effective means to improve immunity. On the contrary, sedentary will lead to decreased immune function and increased risk of infection. Although it is not suitable to go out, parents take their children to do some interesting little exercises at home, which can not only enhance immunity and prevent infection, but also release their children’s nature and get happiness in sports.

  Small body arithmetic, fitness and brain health.

  Use your body to express simple arithmetic with your child.

 

 

  Arithmetic 1: 1+1=2

  Action essentials: raise an arm to represent "1", the big arm is parallel to the ground, and the small arm is perpendicular to the big arm; The horizontal lifting of both hands forms a "+"with the trunk; Raise your hands horizontally in front of you for "="; Raising both hands at the same time means "2".

  Arithmetic 2: 2+2=4

  Action essentials: The number "4" can be represented by bending down, straightening your arms and touching the ground as far as possible. Your hands and feet form a "4", so be careful not to bend your knees during pressing. Parents can also let their children use their brains to find other body language that means "4".

  Arithmetic 3: 4+4=8

  Action essentials: The number "8" is represented by putting your hands on your hips and twisting your waist clockwise or counterclockwise, just like the "8" around a twist. Parents can also find more "8" expressions with children.

  Parents can take their children to continue to explore more physical arithmetic. After studying at their desks and watching TV, let them get up and do a set of such physical arithmetic together to avoid becoming couch potatoes. You can also disrupt the order and test each other with your children to see who can react faster and do more standard, and keep fit and strengthen your brain at the same time.

  Stop at the red light and go at the green light, and don’t forget to learn the rules for fitness.

  Preparation stage: everyone stays still and waits for the password.

  Red light: when you hear the red light command, stop moving immediately, keep your posture immediately, and wait for the next command.

  Green light: start jumping, jump with your hands and feet open, keep your arms straight, and clap your hands above your head; Jump again, feet together, arms straight down from both sides, hands touching both sides of thighs, and so on.

  Play traffic light games with children at home, and the rules are issued by giving a password that makes people shout red or green lights. When the red light is red, everyone stays still, and when the green light is green, everyone immediately starts jumping together. Participants in the game should give the fastest response according to the password, and the slowest response or the opposite response to the password is a challenge failure.

  People can increase the difficulty and interest of the game by repeating instructions and adjusting the interval between instructions. The jumping time of the green light should not exceed one minute, and it can be marked by the child’s accelerated breathing and slight sweating. The traffic light game can help children learn rules in the game and improve their reaction ability. At the same time, the opening and closing jump in the green light can also improve their cardiopulmonary endurance.

  Bear crawling, crab crawling, imitating animals is more fun.

  Although it is impossible to go out at home, parents can take their children at home to imitate the small animals in nature and crawl freely at home.

  Bear crawling: imitate the bear crawling forward, backward, left and right with his hands and feet. During crawling, try not to touch the ground with his knees and keep his trunk parallel to the ground as much as possible. Parents can also deliberately raise the trunk to let the children get out from below to improve the fun.

  Crab crawling: imitating crab crawling, parents lead children to support their trunk with their hands and feet in a supine posture, lift their hips off the ground, crawl left and right with their hands and feet, and touch the ground with their hips is a challenge failure. In the process of crawling, children’s coordination can be improved and their core control ability can be exercised.

  The above small sports and games are suitable for home, and at the same time, children’s immunity, sensitivity, coordination, cardiopulmonary endurance and other physical qualities and functions can be improved through exercise. The recommended amount of physical activity for teenagers and children is not less than 60 minutes of moderate and high-intensity physical activity every day. Parents can take their children to practice for many times, and each time they do a small exercise of 20-30 minutes. The intensity of exercise is appropriate for children to sweat slightly, breathe faster but still have a short conversation. Although children are longing for the outside world, playing some small fitness games with parent-child interaction at home in special periods can also exercise, enlighten wisdom, enhance parent-child feelings and have a pleasant and unforgettable holiday.

Eating wild vegetables in spring makes up for the ancient style, and the spring is bright and fresh on the tip of your tongue.

  Text/Figure Yangcheng Evening News reporter Wang Min

  On the second day of the second lunar month, grass and vegetables are sprouting leaves, and the ancient Luoyang people designated this day as the Picking Vegetables Festival. Picking vegetables means going out to pick wild vegetables or picking vegetables in the garden. Eating wild vegetables in spring is not only a tonic, but also quite antique. At this time, you can see these seasonal wild vegetables in the markets and supermarkets in the city, but the bored urbanites in the city often like to go to suburban farms and mountains to find them themselves, that is, pick them and cook them and eat them fresh.

  "Ginseng Roots" on the roadside of Ye Qiuqian

  If you don’t look at the upper body, just look at the lower body, it can definitely imitate Laoshan ginseng, which is thick and scaly with dense fibrous roots. But the eyes moved up, and immediately the phoenix turned into a pheasant: Isn’t this a clam? Yes, it is coriander, but it is much rarer than ordinary coriander. It is only produced in Conghua, and the best is excavated in Liangkou area. This wild coriander is a mountain thing, born on the hillside, longer than the hillside, rough and rough, letting it absorb the essence of heaven and earth, rain and dew, and the sun and the moon.

  Although it looks strong, it is actually a big man in the northeast with a soft heart in the south of the Yangtze River. The smell is not as strong as that of a common clam, and it is light and delicious, not to mention astringent, but smooth and fragrant. The practice in Conghua country is to use wild parsley with spicy roots to stew pork tripe. If the taste is lighter, chicken feet can be used instead of pork tripe. According to reports, drinking this soup in spring has the effect of eliminating dampness and warming the stomach.

  It is most effective to stew soup with salted lemon. As long as there is a root in a cup of soup, it has been uncovered and moved to the next table. If you want to be fresher, you can also use it directly for cold salad. Its special flavor can often be tasted in some farmhouses in Conghua liang kou.

  Thorn head vegetables are bitter and cool, but fragrant and refreshing.

  Arrived in March, the wild vegetables in Shan Ye, Yunnan Province began to stir up. From the original sugar pear flower, broom, fish coriander and broken ear root to the present Toona sinensis, bracken, echinacea, plantain, cowpea and water celery … … When you go to Yunnan at this time, you will find these wild vegetables everywhere in the farmer’s market.

  Among them, the most unfamiliar thing for Guangzhou people is the thorn vegetable. It is the bud of a thorn tree in the mountains. Because even the tender buds have thorns, it is called "thorny vegetable". Its leaf buds are very similar to Toona sinensis. Before the bud blooms, the leaf buds are wrapped in layers of leaves, ruddy and plump, shaped like new bamboo shoots and up to five or six inches long. When the leaves split, new leaves with tender thorns will be exposed.

  Thorn head vegetables are the most common in Shangri-La, and the season is from April to July every year, among which April is the most tender and slag-free. Its growth cycle is very fast, and it can grow into the second crop in three days after picking the first crop of seedlings. However, you must pick it quickly, and you will meet the elders later, and then you will bite down and be full of slag. Locals like to eat it directly with garlic or coriander, which can keep the aroma to the maximum extent.

  In addition to cold salad, it can also be dry mixed or stewed soup, but it must use plain oil, not meat, so as not to destroy its fragrance. When used in stews, it can only be served with chicken or lean meat.

  In Guangzhou, it can only be found in Yunnan cuisine restaurant.

  Stir-fried golden buckwheat vegetables add more fragrance.

  In my memory, there are not many opportunities to eat spring buckwheat every year. About the time when the spring rains come down one after another, the family will buy a handful of spring buckwheat, carefully select it, cut it into sections, and simply fry it, and it will smell fragrant. In the listless spring, this is a refreshing dish that makes people’s forefinger move. It is clear but not scarce, tender but not raw, and it is the essence of home cooking.

  Most of the buckwheat dishes seen on the market now are Hunan buckwheat. Although they are tender to eat, they always feel that the taste of the dishes is not enough. In fact, the really beautiful buckwheat dish is the local golden buckwheat in Guangzhou, which originated in Huadu and is called Huadu Silk Buckwheat. Unlike the Hunan version, this kind of buckwheat dish is not stout, with a thin head and a young body. Although it is petite, it tastes rich and fragrant.

  However, whether it is silk buckwheat or foreign version of buckwheat, it is the most delicious near the head, and only the first and second stubble can be harvested, and then it will be old and tough, so it has to be used to make sour buckwheat heads.

  Stir-fried buckwheat vegetables, the most feared thing is that the heat is not well grasped, and it is too cooked and has residue, and it is too raw and spicy. In order to make it better, the chef of "Peninsula Haoyuan" specially came up with a "three-stage frying" way to make it. Stir-fry the buckwheat with ginger wine first, then take it out after it changes color slightly; Then pat the garlic in wok and saute, then stir-fry the buckwheat with strong fire, splash Shao wine at the same time, then stir-fry quickly, add a little salt and sugar, and drain the oil; Finally, the shrimps in the river or the wok will be fried together, which will take no more than three minutes, in order to keep the crispy taste of buckwheat to the maximum extent.

  Banlangen must be eaten to prevent colds.

  Just as there must be detoxification grass where poisonous snakes haunt, there is Banlangen to prevent colds in the spring when influenza is most likely to wreak havoc. For many people, Radix Isatidis is an ironclad herb. When you go to a restaurant to eat this, it always feels a little off-flavor, especially the raw and dregs taste of wild vegetables, which is even more uncomfortable for Guangzhou people who are awkward.

  If you want Banlangen to be slag-free, you have to choose Xishuangbanna. The stems and leaves of Radix Isatidis here are particularly green, so cool that they will ring when you bite at the entrance, even if you have cooked them with soup on the cloud legs, which is the favorite of the regular customers of "Xinguiyuan". The chef of "Gansimiduo yunnan art Restaurant" only selects tender leaves and sautes them with fire, retaining the original flavor of Radix Isatidis. The taste is bitter with some wild vegetables, but it is very heat-clearing and detoxicating.

  Rapeseed heart is slender and has no muddy taste.

  In the south of March, rape is a good time to pull out the core and blossom, so rape heart has become a very seasonal vegetable, which can’t be eaten in other seasons until it expires.

  Rapeseed hearts moistened by rain, with flowers and bones, are tempting you. Even in Guangzhou markets, they are only four or five yuan each, which is not cheap, but definitely not expensive. Buy one or two, wash them, fry them or bake them, depending on your preference. Vegetable farmers should be careful when choosing rapeseed hearts, and don’t choose those that are too tall; The weather in the south is warm and humid now, and the cabbage is different every day, so don’t bloom.

  The flowering Chinese cabbage in other places is sweet after frosting, and it will be slightly bitter in spring. However, the flowering Chinese cabbage is just in season in March, which is even later than the flowering Chinese cabbage. Compared with the local cabbage, the "starting rate" of rapeseed is very high, so you don’t have to waste too much when choosing vegetables. Its stalk is about 1/3 thinner than that of ordinary Chinese cabbage, with full flavor and moderate hardness.

  When frying rapeseed hearts, you must wait until the wok emits white smoke before you can stir-fry them urgently. Then, the rapeseed heart is wok, and then the material head and lard are stir-fried, so that the rapeseed heart fried twice can be green, crispy and not soft and oily.

Focus on nature-based cultural programs

The Forbidden City in Beijing is a world cultural heritage site. In 2022, on the east side of the Forbidden City, a small ecological green space began to be built against the wall. Covering an area of 150 square meters, the "Jianting Green Space" recorded a total of 37 species of designed planting plants, 42 species of autogenous plants and 29 species of animals.

The creation of biological living space is the field of urban ecology. In the high-density residential environment, the micro-green ecosystem of native plant communities is constructed to provide living space for birds, insects and other creatures. However, the most noteworthy phenomenon in the "Jianting Greenland" project is that the designers actively and massively integrated into cultural resources, corresponding to the principle of authenticity of world heritage, and logically and responsibly combined the "authenticity" of restored landscape with the "artistic conception" of garden construction. Ecological workers identify "plants" in the paintings in the Forbidden City, investigate the "patches" of native plants preserved in imperial gardens such as Yuanmingyuan within the scope of "three mountains and five gardens", and then combine the list of zonal plants in the literature of phytogeography and vegetation ecology-next, focus on corresponding reproduction. The content combination of "Jianting Green Space" goes further than the conventional and traditional idea of "garden flower border", adding native plant elements, and also meets the requirements of heritage sites for the inheritance of historical context and the new expectations for the protection of urban biodiversity.

So, is this a matter of "nature" or should it be attributed to the overall space of "culture"?

In recent years, the concept of "natural-based solutions" has played an important role in coping with global challenges such as climate change, disaster prevention and mitigation, food security, water security and ecosystem degradation. In 2021, the Ministry of Natural Resources of China and the World Conservation Union jointly published the Typical Case of China’s Practice of Nature-based Solutions, which involved the types of ecosystems such as nature, agriculture and cities and the main functions of national land space. Under the background of ecological civilization construction, the restoration means based on nature will gradually and profoundly affect the interpretation of the value of great sites, the continuation of the style of famous cities and even the reproduction of the authenticity of heritage parks.

If the "Jianting Greenland" project is simply summed up as a whimsical biodiversity practice and only focuses on "creating an interesting ecological landscape", it obviously underestimates the efforts and wisdom of all parties. "Jianting Greenland" is the crystallization of cultural heritage protection, natural restoration and public ecological concept, and it is a shining cultural spark in the "natural-based solution", which effectively extends the system path to the establishment of "natural-based cultural solution".

What objectives should be included in the "Nature-based Cultural Program"? One is to reflect the interaction between "nature" and "culture", especially to expand the position and function of natural science in cultural projects; The second is to understand and describe the wisdom and social progress of human beings in sustainable development from the perspective of "culture" of world heritage. This means a brand-new theoretical cross-system, and it is impossible to simply combine or pile up various fields. The knowledge structure and implementation steps of "cultural scheme based on nature" must come from practice test. Thus, the emergence of one "Arrow Pavilion Green Space" after another has a positive significance worthy of attention and encouragement.

Visualization of AI generation in novel description

Visualization of AI generation in novel description

In the article promoting Salt Town, Liu Shen Lei Lei mentioned a scenery description in the novel, and one of them described "the sun soaked in salt".

What should the "salt-soaked sun" look like? My imagination still seems to be insufficient. Now many foreign artificial intelligence software can draw pictures. As long as you give it a few key words, you can generate a new picture. If I make an analogy, what will be the images of "the sun stained with honey" and "the sun fried with peanuts"? Some novels describe landscapes unimaginable to human beings, and robots may be able to draw them now. The visualization of language description seems to be really visually impactful.

With the further development of artificial intelligence, it should be possible to achieve "reverse visualization", that is, to deliver paintings such as Picasso, Van Gogh and Monet to robots, and the software can reversely generate a set of descriptive words related to the content and style of paintings.

Now there are a variety of AI image generators that use artificial intelligence algorithms to convert text into images. Enter a text prompt or description, and these AI tools can quickly turn your ideas or concepts into visual representations, that is, pictures, in a few seconds. This tool is based on deep learning algorithm, which has been trained on large image data sets and their corresponding descriptions.

With the rapid expansion of training scale and continuous enrichment of experience, this kind of AI image generator will become smarter, more flexible and creative. But at present, this kind of AI generator has only one-way operation, that is, "from text to image". I believe that someone will design the reverse operation in the future, that is, "from image to text". At that time, we can use software to generate a paragraph on a picture, reflecting the content and style of the work. This is actually the beginning of AI’s analysis of art works, even though it may be a bit rough at the beginning.

In addition to the two-way generation of "text images", when the video analysis is deep enough and the video data set is large enough, we can expect the two-way generation of "text video" through training, that is, by writing a prompt text, AI can generate a related video according to the content and style of the prompt; On the contrary, a paragraph of text can be generated according to a video to explain its content and style. The former will create a precedent for automatically generating videos only by using spoken language or words, while the latter is the starting point for analyzing and commenting on film and television AI. If one day, people can automatically generate a film and television work by inputting the script of film literature in spoken or written language, will it still be incredible?

The generation of two-dimensional "text to image" has been realized, can the generation of three-dimensional "text to video" be far behind? If I had the "text-video" generation software, maybe I would be interested in "producing" small movies, such as Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong, Marx entering the Confucius Temple, or even more imaginative stories, which are more likely to be very realistic works. And you?

Let’s assume that "words to images" are generated in the forward direction. What would it be like if a group of words ("images to words") generated in the reverse direction were used as hints and then a visual painting was generated in the forward direction? It’s like translating a Chinese poem into English and then translating this English poem back into Chinese. In a few cycles, with the continuous wear and gain of language elements and cultural elements unconsciously, the result of "passing the password" game will be unrecognizable.

Imagine again, using artificial intelligence software, forward generation and reverse generation are repeated, and even shocks are formed. Compared with the initial input, the final output is definitely unrecognizable, but the process of "transcription" and "translation" is still well documented and traceable.

The result of repeated superposition of this forward and reverse generation has undergone a qualitative change and has become a new existence, perhaps a kind of "emergence". Although it is trivial, it is complicated with wear and gain, and you can’t understand its ins and outs. In contrast, the language of modernist writers and painters only experienced low-frequency shocks. Perhaps a sense of innovation was unexpectedly born in it. From the modernist creation such as misty poetry, we can make this inference.

With the appearance of cameras, "image" is no longer unusual, and the value of realistic paintings has plummeted. Modernist and postmodern heroes of all walks of life have found their way out of "unlike", claiming that it is more like in essence. AI (Artificial Intelligence) is rampant. What will our future works of words, images and videos look like?

Thoughts from the novel Salt Town recommended by Liu Shen Lei Lei

Twenty million two hundred and thirty thousand three hundred and six

"Have dinner with me and I’ll give you $300,000!" Football superstars fall into the trap of Chinese aunts.

"Have dinner with me and I’ll give you $300,000." In 2003, a female fan in China paid a lot of money to invite Ronaldo to dinner. Ronaldo was so happy that he didn’t know that he had fallen into someone else’s trap.

Speaking of Ronaldo, even those who don’t know football, I believe they have heard his name. Ronaldo’s full name is ronaldo luiz nazario de lima. If you mention Ronaldo’s achievements in football, you can even introduce him day and night without interruption. In addition, Ronaldo also has many nicknames, such as Ronnie, Fei Luo and Da Luo. Ronaldo was born on September 18th, 1976. When he was a child, his family was very poor, but it was his love for football that kept him from giving up this career, and he eventually grew up to be the king of football in the world.

In the growing experience of Ronaldo, Ronaldo can be said to have dealt with all kinds of people. Because of his high popularity, Ronaldo was still relatively strong in protecting his brand awareness when attending various activities, but what Ronaldo didn’t expect was that he actually stumbled in the hands of a China woman.

To mention this story, we have to look back to 20 years ago, that is, in 2003, when Ronaldo came to China for an exchange competition. After arriving in China, Ronaldo was quickly impressed by the enthusiasm of China fans. The scene of the game was surrounded by a sea of fans, all of whom shouted their names.

After the game, Ronaldo’s assistant told him that there was a female boss in China who wanted to have dinner with him. At first, Ronaldo refused. After all, his time is precious, but then the assistant said that the female boss was willing to pay $300,000 as a reward as long as he agreed to have dinner with her.

Hearing this, Ronaldo instantly felt very interested. He could get 300,000 yuan just by eating a meal. Why not go?

Before departure, Ronaldo specifically explained to his assistant that he must show the other party that he is just going to have dinner. If it involves endorsement or other things, he needs to talk about the price. After all, it is impossible to endorse a product casually, just 300,000.

After arriving at the scene, the female boss also made it clear that 300,000 yuan is only the cost of eating and does not involve endorsement. Ronaldo let his guard down. There were not only the female boss, but also many children who lined up to send flowers to Ronaldo.

The female boss also took out a jersey, expressing the hope that Ronaldo could wear this jersey to accept the welcome of the children, and told Ronaldo that this jersey was carefully designed by the children. Ronaldo then put on a special jersey, not only accepted the children’s flowers at the scene, but also performed a superb skill for the children at the scene.

Next, I entered the stage of eating. The whole process of eating was very relaxed, and Ronaldo didn’t feel any discomfort. After dinner, the female boss is also very generous to transfer 300,000 yuan on the spot.

At this time, Ronaldo still felt that the money was very easy to earn, and the female boss in China was really generous.

After Ronaldo returned to China, he forgot all about it because of training and competition. It was not until a long time later that Ronaldo heard the news of his endorsement of products in China from his friends. At this time, Ronaldo felt very puzzled that he did not endorse any products in China.

Only after watching the relevant advertising videos did Ronaldo recall the experience of having dinner with the female boss in China. Then Ronaldo also entrusted a lawyer to take the female boss to court.

The female boss in the story is Jiang Peizhen, the helm of Golden Voice. Jiang Peizhen was in charge of a candy factory at first, but the candy factory soon closed down due to poor management. In order to solve the dilemma, Jiang Peizhen found Wang Yaofa because she heard that Wang Yaofa had a formula in his hand. After being authorized by Wang Yaofa, Jiang Peizhen formally established Guangxi Golden Voice.

Relying on Ronaldo’s fame, Golden Voice quickly swept across the country, and the sales volume showed a surge in a short period of time. Jiang Peizhen has also become a myth in the industry, but this luck didn’t last long. Finally, in 2009, Golden Voice still had financial problems, and Jiang Peizhen was also included in the list of dishonesty.
