Using smart bracelets to "supervise" sanitation workers to cause controversy. Sanitation company: the reminder procedure has been cancelled.

"Qingyu Nian" looks good, but this is still being questioned

1905 movie network feature After a long time, it began to come out. The major historical drama "Mountains and Rivers Moonlight", which was officially launched in March 2018, finally revealed its first film today.
In this 12-minute long film, Zhu Yuanzhang played by Chen Baoguo, Xu Da played by Zhang Fengyi, Zhu Di played by Feng Shaofeng, Zhu Biao played by He Shengming, the crown prince, and Queen Ma played by Wang Ji all appeared, and the cast can be described as strong.
Chen Baoguo as Zhu Yuanzhang
Feng Shaofeng as Zhu Di
Along with the film, a group of main character setting posters were also exposed, and the topic of Clothing Dao, which cannot be avoided in ancient costume dramas, was once again hotly discussed by netizens.


As one of the few historical dramas in recent years, only from the perspective of the flowers, the photography and service of "Mountains and Rivers Yueming" strive to restore history, which is very profound.
The reduction of Ming Dynasty costumes is also relatively high, from the emperor’s crown to the concubine’s Zhai clothes, to the official costumes are more elegant, and there are also rare Ming Dynasty princes’ coronation costumes, which is a big improvement in domestic Ming Dynasty dramas.

Recently, with the popularity of many costume dramas such as "Daming Fenghua", "Celebration of More Than Years" and "Crane Jituan Huating", the topic of "Serving the Tao" that left the first impression on the audience has also been frequently searched. Some are ridiculed by the group because they do not match the historical facts and the shape is shocking, and some are praised for their exquisite restoration, and let Xiao Dianjun take everyone back.
"Daming Fenghua"
Is Zhang Shuping’s "aesthetic" controversial again?
Daming Fenghua, starring Tang Wei and Zhu Yawen, has been on the air for nearly a month. The show’s popularity and reputation are acceptable. Zhu Zhanji’s love for Sun Ruowei is deep, Hu Shanxiang and Sun Ruowei’s sisters fight, and the family drama of the "five sons of the Zhu family" is full of attention.

But since the appearance was exposed, "Daming Fenghua" has caused a lot of controversy.

Tang Wei, the heroine, bears the brunt. Tang Wei, known as the "Muse of Literature and Art", seems to be naturally out of tune with ancient costumes. The styling in "Daming Fenghua" not only lacks aura and a sense of high class, but also exposes the weaknesses of the hairline and face shape.

The top of the head is sometimes like a black crystal ball, sometimes like an iron bucket, and sometimes like a wine glass, which is really incomprehensible.

Zhu Yawen, the male protagonist, was not "spared" either. Zhu Yawen, who was famous for his subwoofers, was a little feminine in the play, missing a bit of the domineering emperor.

In this regard, Zhu Yawen also used his emoji in the comment: "My mother?" and explained that the so-called "factory style" is because the initial setting of the character is under the control of the elders, and it has to show a cynical and more frivolous side.
Indeed, as the plot progressed, Zhu Zhanji also gradually showed his masculine side.
Zhu Yawen asked netizens in the comment section: "My mother?"
In addition to the lack of points for the main character’s style, the Ming Dynasty costumes in "Daming Fenghua" were also picked out by sharp-eyed netizens. For example, the official hats of the early Ming Dynasty did not have "hat upright" (a decoration inlaid on the front of the hat), while in "Daming Fenghua", most of the monarchs and ministers were equipped with huge hat upright.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s image restoration has also been accused of being too playful and relying too much on folk portraits. This "shoehorn face" shape really "scared" many viewers.

Although "Daming Fenghua" is adapted from the online novel "The Chronicle of the Six Dynasties", it is not necessary to be meticulous in historical details, but the bugs in these details will inevitably affect the overall texture of the series.
As the drama’s styling and costume design, Zhang Shuping was also pushed to the forefront of the trend again. Yu Zheng even complained publicly on Weibo: "Zhang Shuping’s aesthetic can’t be appreciated."
From "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" to "Drunk Linglong", "Fire Like a Song", and then to "The Legend of Ruyi" and "Daming Fenghua", it seems that not many celebrities can pass Zhang Shuping’s test.
"Celebration of the Year"
Is it reasonable to mix and match ancient and modern?
To say that the most popular and topical costume drama recently, "Qingyu Nian" is none other than "Qingyu Nian". Simultaneously on the hot search with various plot stems, there is also the topic of "Qingyu Nian Service Dao", and the reading volume has reached 320 million.

While netizens were constantly praising the rhythm of the plot and the acting skills of the drama bones, they also expressed that the "confused" shapes of many characters were somewhat incomprehensible.
Versace, played by Fan Xian, His Second Highness and Guo Qilin, all comes with bangs in the style of "wash, cut and blow".


Chen Daoming’s Qing Di never seems to brush his hair, and Wu Gang’s performance of Chen Pingping’s "smoky makeup" is also very enchanting.

The eldest princess played by Li Xiaoran has been complained the most, and was laughed by netizens: "not like a princess like a witch", "offended the stylist".
In this regard, Li Xiaoran also came forward to respond. On the one hand, because the eldest princess is not married, the hair must be a loose girl’s shape. On the other hand, the heavy hairstyle and headgear are also designed to highlight the character’s crazy and complex inner characteristics, which are tailor-made.

In addition to clothing, the lighting of "Qingyu Nian" is also a bit "dead". The acne marks, wrinkles and flaws on the actors’ faces are also nowhere to hide. However, some netizens appreciate the true texture of this zero filter.

There are also many fans who secretly poke and feel sorry for screenwriter Wang Tie. From "Dance Music Legend", "Big Song Youth Chronicle" to "Celebration of More Than a Year", his screenwriting works always seem to be hindered by funding and service.

However, Wang Tie himself did not forget to speak for the crew in the interview. "Qingyu Nian" is a historical overhead drama that uses modern thinking to illuminate ancient time and space. Therefore, Fu Hua Dao should also follow the expression of the theme and integrate modern elements.
For example, many of the costumes in the play incorporate modern leather, mesh, polka dots, and other elements, giving them a unique flavor when they are used to it.

How important is the ancient costume drama?
The topic of clothing and transformation in costume dramas has frequently been hot in search, which just shows that with the continuous improvement of aesthetic level, the audience’s requirements for costume dramas are no longer limited to the plot, but also begin to pay attention to whether the stories and characters can show the beauty of traditional culture.
clearThe palace drama "Story of Yanxi Palace" has been well received for its exquisite costumes, restoring history, and integrating intangible cultural heritage such as embroidery, Kesi, edelweiss, and Diancui. The high-quality "Morandi color" has also been popular on the whole network.

The recent "Crane Crane Pavilion" has also won praise from the audience for its exquisite reproduction of the history and culture of the Song Dynasty in various aspects such as clothing, lines, etiquette, and customs.

Although there are still doubts and controversies, it is undeniable that in recent years, domestic costume dramas have paid more and more attention to the polishing of details such as costumes, models, and props, and the overall production level has been significantly improved.
Although the core elements that determine the reputation of a drama are still the story and acting skills, as the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and the exquisite and elegant clothing path not only respects history and traditional culture, but also adds a lot to the actors and stories. Is it not the "craftsman spirit" that is essential to a high-quality drama to reflect the excellence of the stitches?
"wonder woman" Gal Gadot will play Cleopatra, causing online controversy.
Recently, Gal Gadot, an Israeli actress, announced that she would play the legendary queen Cleopatra in the new epic "Cleopatra" newly approved by Paramount Film Company, and the director of the film was female directors Jenkins, who worked with her in two Wonder Woman films.
Cleopatra should not be played by Israeli actors?
Once the news was published, it quickly became a hot spot on several social media platforms. Most netizens, especially Gado’s loyal fans, expressed great expectations for her new role, but many netizens quickly questioned: Is it appropriate for such an Israeli-born white actress to play the Queen of Egypt?

Gal Gadot (middle) will collaborate with Patty Jenkins (left) from Wonder Woman again.
These netizens mistakenly believe that Cleopatra, as the supreme ruler of Egypt, must belong to colored people and must be a black woman from northern Africa. On this basis, they think that this role should never be played by Gado, and Paramount should give this opportunity to a black Hollywood actress, which is the right thing to do.
However, the views of these people were quickly criticized or ridiculed by more netizens on social media platforms. "Cleopatra is not black, her ancestors are Greek, look at her simulacra, you will know. You stupid so-called social justice fighters, stop tampering with history. " A tweet that received the most forwarding wrote. Indeed, in all kinds of literary works and paintings handed down from ancient times, Cleopatra’s skin color is basically described as ivory white, which is irrelevant to African blacks.

Cleopatra written by French painter alexander Cabanel is fair-skinned.
Sarah Parcak, an expert in Egyptology from Alabama State University, also explained to netizens that Cleopatra in history was born in Alexandria, Egypt in 69 BC, but her ancestral home was Ptolemy I Soter, but she was Alexander the Great’s right-hand man and a Greek born in a Macedonian aristocratic family. "As for her mother’s situation, whether she is an Egyptian, a Greek or a native is not very clear at present, and there are many possibilities. But Cleopatra is at least 50% Greek, and her skin color should be whiter than that of today’s Egyptians. "
In addition to this erroneous view that people are eager to express their opinions because they don’t know enough about historical facts, there is also a criticism that Cleopatra, as the queen of ancient Egypt, is also a part of Egyptian civilization, regardless of her skin color in history. Therefore, it is inappropriate for an Israeli actress to play it.
The representative figure who holds this view is Sameera Khan, a former New Jersey beauty pageant champion and Pakistani-American media person who has gained great popularity in American social media in recent years. She used to be a special correspondent of "Russia Today" TV station in Washington, USA for a long time. She posted a question on her personal Twitter with 65,000 fans: "Which Hollywood idiot thought it would be a good idea to find a very plain Israeli actress to play Cleopatra? Why can’t you find a stunning Arab actress like Nadine Njeim (the 2007 Lebanese beauty pageant champion) to play this role? And, Gal Gadot, you’re a shame. Your country stole Arab land, and now you have stolen Arab movie characters. It’s really speechless. "

American media person Samira Khan
Rita Panahi, an Iranian-born Australian news hostess with nearly 240,000 followers on Twitter, mercilessly criticized this view. She not only ridiculed Samira Khan for her courage, but also dared to call "wonder woman" Gal Gadot "plain-looking" and accused her of completely losing her mind because of her "morbid hatred" towards Israel.
The Similar Experience of Elizabeth Taylor’s Cleopatra
In history, the legendary story of Cleopatra has been put on the screen many times, and the most famous one is the version starring Elizabeth Taylor in 1963. The film was the global box office champion that year, and the domestic box office in the United States alone reached an astonishing $57.7 million-equivalent to nearly $500 million today. However, the shooting cost of the film was as high as $44 million, which set a historical record at that time. Coupled with the serious delay in the construction period, the investor Fox almost went bankrupt in the 20th century. At the next year’s Oscars, Cleopatra received nine nominations, but in the end, she only won four awards: Best Photography, Visual Effects, Costume Design and production designer. Off-screen, Elizabeth Taylor and richard burton, the famous movie star who plays the role of Anthony in the film, also pretended to have an extramarital affair, and divorced their original partners respectively, and they became husband and wife in 1964.

Elizabeth Taylor’s version of Cleopatra was also boycotted by Arab countries because of her conversion to Judaism.
It is worth mentioning that at that time, Taylor played Cleopatra, which also caused a similar controversy. It turned out that in 1959, when Taylor was 27 years old, she changed her ways from a Christian to Judaism. According to the analysis, this should be influenced by her godfather, Victor Cazalet (a member of the British Conservative Party). Although Taylor’s parents are not Jews themselves, they have always had great sympathy for Zionism, which has subtly influenced Elizabeth Taylor.
After Taylor converted to Judaism, most Arab countries successively announced that they would not release any film and television works starring Taylor in China, and when Cleopatra was filmed in 1962, 20th Century Fox Company could not go to Egypt for live shooting. Interestingly, after the film was released, the top officials of the Egyptian government felt that the film did not have any negative performance for Egypt, on the contrary, it was a positive propaganda for the country, so they agreed to release Cleopatra in Egypt and lifted the ban on Elizabeth Taylor.
As a high-quality IP, this new version of Cleopatra project is quite popular in Hollywood, and Paramount finally won the right to shoot after fierce bidding with many competitors such as Universal, Warner, Apple and Netflix. The screenplay will be written by Laeta Kalogridis, a female screenwriter of Greek descent. In the past few years, her screenplays have included Alexander the Great, Shutter Island, Terminator: Genesis and Alita: Fighting Angel.

Speaking of the relationship between Volkswagen and Porsche, we have to mention an old man, that is, ferdinand porsche, the founder of Porsche and Volkswagen. The founding of Volkswagen was also closely related to Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi organization in Germany at that time. It was Hitler’s idea of producing a Volkswagen that only sold 990 marks in 1936 that made the world’s leading car established today. At that time, ferdinand porsche was a famous German automobile designer. He was ordered to lead a group of laborers to start the production of this kind of cheap car, and in 1937, he established "Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutsches Volkswagen MBH" (Volkswagen Company).
At this point, you may feel strange. Isn’t this ferdinand porsche the founder of Porsche? How did you get involved with the public again? Indeed, ferdinand porsche established the Porsche brand as early as 1931. At that time, Volkswagen was just a cheap car brand that he was "ordered to build" according to the requirements of Hitler’s Nazi government. It can be said that since the day Volkswagen was established, it was destined to be inextricably linked with Porsche.
Let’s take a look at some genealogies of the Porsche family, and we will know how close Porsche is to the Volkswagen family. First of all, ferdinand porsche’s son Ferry Porsche and grandson Wolfgang Porsche have been running Porsche Automobile Company. Wolfgang Porsche is still the owner of Porsche Automobile, while his daughter Louis Piech and grandson ferdinand piech are in charge of Volkswagen. ferdinand porsche gave 62% of the shares of these two companies to his son Ferry Porsche before his death, and the remaining 38% was owned by his daughter Louis Piech. This is self-evident.
It stands to reason that no matter how the equity is distributed, Porsche and Piech, who are both the heads of automobile companies and the same family, should have lived in peace. Moreover, the market positioning of Porsche and Volkswagen is quite different, and the direct competition relationship is very small. However, the aggressive personality of ferdinand porsche’s descendants determines that there will be a "blood shed" between Volkswagen and Porsche.
In the early days of Volkswagen’s establishment, the two companies used to be "brother enterprises" of mutual benefit and exchange of needed goods. Porsche Model 64 produced in 1938 used many spare parts from Volkswagen. In 1969, Volkswagen and Porsche jointly launched VW-Porsche914 and 914-6 models, which were named 914 because this model was equipped with a four-cylinder from Volkswagen, while 914-6 was equipped with a six-cylinder engine from Porsche, showing the close relationship between Volkswagen and Porsche.
However, the good times didn’t last long. With the death of ferdinand porsche and the continuous development of Volkswagen, Porsche has been completely surpassed by Volkswagen in terms of its share of the global automobile market and actual book revenue, and this momentum has quickly become a reality. Some "jealous" Wolfgang Porsche set his eyes on his "brothers" in the late 1990s.
In 2004, the Porsche family, whose eyes were locked on Volkswagen, finally ushered in the best acquisition opportunity in theory. In this year, Volkswagen sold a large number of shares because of poor management and high production costs, and went to the brink of bankruptcy. According to statistics, the average wage of Volkswagen’s workers was the highest in Germany, but the production efficiency was the lowest. More than 40% of the factories closed down, and the economy was even more unable to make ends meet.
Previously, the German government issued a law to prevent audi ag from being acquired by overseas investors, which expressly stipulated that when it comes to major issues such as company acquisition, it needs more than 80% of the support votes to pass, which means that Saxony will always have the veto power over public acquisition, and it is impossible for other companies to intervene in the public. This law is called "The Law of the People", and there are still many controversies today because of its strong local protectionism.
Although the "Volkswagen Law" has blocked it, the Porsche family will never miss this excellent opportunity. First, they quietly acquired the shares of Volkswagen in the secondary market. By the first half of 2005, Porsche had held nearly 20% of the shares in audi ag. However, Porsche’s erosion of Volkswagen’s shares did not attract people’s attention during this period. Until October 7, 2005, Porsche suddenly announced that it would buy 8.27% of Volkswagen’s shares from institutional investors. At this time, Porsche has held 27.4% of Volkswagen’s shares, becoming the largest shareholder of Volkswagen in the world. Since then, Porsche has increased its shareholding in Volkswagen to 31% in March 2007. However, due to the existence of the Volkswagen Law, Porsche spokesman Bowman made it clear that this action is only a simple increase, and there is no intention of any acquisition.
At this time, Porsche has become the heart of Si Mazhao, and everyone knows that the so-called "no acquisition intention" is just an excuse to hide the ear. In November 2007, the European Court of Justice proposed to abolish the Volkswagen Law. Porsche welcomed it and said that there was no plan to increase its shareholding. However, this duplicity only lasted for half a year. By 2009, the Porsche family had quietly increased its shareholding in Volkswagen to more than 50%.
Subsequently, Porsche applied for anti-monopoly investigation. On July 23, 2008, the European Commission approved Porsche to acquire Volkswagen. By the beginning of 2009, Porsche announced at its headquarters in Stuttgart that it had held 50.76% of the ordinary shares of Volkswagen. At this point, I have to mention Porsche’s wishful thinking: if the acquisition is successful, Porsche can merge Volkswagen’s books, use Volkswagen’s funds or even sell Volkswagen’s assets by holding more than 50% of Volkswagen’s shares, and indirectly increase Porsche’s profits to pay off debts. Unfortunately, Porsche’s elaborate wishful thinking did not succeed. The acquisition was considered as a "hostile acquisition" by the German government and Volkswagen, and the Volkswagen Law still had a protective effect on Volkswagen. Therefore, Porsche’s acquisition of Volkswagen finally failed. However, this failure did not dispel Porsche’s idea of acquiring Volkswagen. The careerist is still eyeing Volkswagen.
However, it didn’t take long for us to find out that this "beast" was actually a "paper tiger" that was weak in the outside. After April 2009, the impact of the world financial turmoil deepened. At this time, Porsche’s debt "high platform" built by the previous crazy acquisition was crumbling, with a total debt of 10 billion euros. Banks also tightened their money and ignored Porsche’s various "applications". At this time, Porsche not only failed in its wishful thinking, but also internally.
While Porsche suffered the consequences of its aggressive acquisition, Volkswagen controlled its costs from 2007 to 2009, making a successful profit of more than 4 billion euros, and in 2009, it has quietly climbed to the second largest automobile manufacturer in the world.
At this time, the Piech family thought it was time to implement their plan. In mid-2009, audi ag, led by the Piech family, decided to buy Porsche Automobile Company. Faced with the blow of "brothers", Porsche Company at this time seemed to be at a loss. On July 22 of that year, Volkswagen officially agreed to buy Porsche Automobile by investing 5 billion euros. However, it was not so easy to eat Porsche in one bite. In 2009, Volkswagen spent 3.9 billion euros to acquire 49.9% of Porsche’s shares in its holding company, and the remaining 50.1% of the shares had to be purchased from Porsche Europe joint-stock company before it could fully acquire Porsche cars.
After being acquired by Volkswagen, Porsche’s business situation has been greatly reversed and it is booming. Volkswagen only provides financial support and does not interfere in the design, production and sales of its models, which makes Porsche cars like a duck to water, with frequent masterpieces, and quickly improves its market share. Volkswagen’s "Tai Ji Chuan" is really good.
After nearly three years of close cooperation with Porsche, Volkswagen Group officially announced on July 4 this year that it will continue to invest 4.46 billion euros to acquire the remaining shares held by Porsche Europe AG. If the process goes smoothly, Volkswagen will own 100% shares of Porsche after this capital injection. However, this matter has not been implemented until now, and it seems that it will take time to completely solve the feud between Volkswagen and Porsche.
Summary:
The 80-year feud between Volkswagen and Porsche came to an end with the overall victory of the Piech family. In the last 20 years, we have seen the hysteria of Porsche and the public’s fearlessness in times of crisis. Due to the various interventions of the Volkswagen Law, Porsche not only failed in its wishful thinking, but also ended up being "acquired". In addition, the intrigue and competition for interests among the wealthy families also left us a deep impression. The temptation of rights and the bursting of desires once made Porsche lose its direction, while the public was supercilious and tepid in the whole incident, which not only made them get away with it, but also "helped the brothers" at a critical moment to get Porsche out of trouble and get back on track. It must be said that this is what brothers should have.

Striving for a new journey, making achievements, a new era and great changes | "Agricultural Machinery 007" at the foot of Ta ‘er Mountain
At the foot of Ta ‘er Mountain in the south of Shanxi Province, Wang Le inherited his father’s agricultural machinery career and made a fuss with his father in the farmland.

"007" is the serial number of the local demonstration service organization of specialized unified prevention and control of Yi Nong Cooperative, of which Wang Le is a member. He knows all kinds of agricultural machinery like the palm of his hand, and cooperates with the "land trusteeship" method promoted by the local government to adapt the new agricultural production relations and boost modern agricultural productivity, thus realizing large-scale planting. While developing the grass-roots rural collective economy and increasing farmers’ income, the problems of "who will plant the land", "how to plant the land well" and "how to increase the benefits" have been solved.



In the wave of agricultural modernization, with the development of agricultural mechanization, new farmers like Wang Le injected new vitality into modern agriculture, and they wrote new hopes in the vast fields.

Must know! Detailed explanation of the ranking of seven congested road sections in Yantai city during Spring Festival travel rush period
Jiaodong online Comprehensive: With the curtain of Spring Festival travel rush, the traffic police detachment of Yantai Public Security Bureau made a judgment on the traffic safety situation in advance based on previous years’ experience, and made early warning through big data analysis. It is estimated that during the Spring Festival of 2018, roads that are prone to congestion in downtown Yantai are mostly concentrated around transportation hubs (railway stations, long-distance bus stations and docks) and business districts (Zhenhua, Joy City, Wanda, Sanzhan, etc.).
Prediction of the most congested time before and after the Spring Festival in urban areas
The traffic police department of Yantai analyzed the traffic jam-prone periods in the central area of Spring Festival travel rush. Before the single and even number restrictions were implemented in the downtown area, the traffic congestion in the urban area was particularly serious from 9: 00 to 15: 30 on the 15th to 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, and the traffic volume was also large from 19: 00 to 21: 00. After the single and even numbers are restricted, the main congestion periods in urban areas mostly occur in the morning and evening rush hours (7:20-8:20, 17:00-18:00), and the weekends before and after the holidays in Spring Festival travel rush are from 10: 00 to 15:30.

It is easy to block around the main transportation hubs and business districts in the city center.
After Spring Festival travel rush started in 2016 and 2017, the traffic congestion in downtown Yantai increased slightly. The traffic volume has been increasing from around the beginning of the year to before the holiday. After the festival, from the third day, the traffic volume began to rise, and the traffic volume in counties and cities also showed the above characteristics.
According to the analysis data of traffic jam-prone roads in downtown Spring Festival travel rush, the traffic jam-prone roads in downtown are mostly concentrated around transportation hubs (railway stations, long-distance bus stations and docks) and business districts (Zhenhua, Joy City, Wanda and Sanzhan, etc.). According to the size of traffic flow in 2016 and 2017, it is ranked as follows: Haigang intersection of Beima Road, Haiyang intersection of North maruta, Qingnian intersection of Beima Road, Qingnian intersection of South Street, Shengli intersection of South Street, Southwest River intersection of Shengli Road and Southwest River intersection of South Street.

6 days before the festival, the central area will be restricted by single and even numbers.
The Spring Festival of 2018 is approaching, and the traffic police detachment of Yantai Public Security Bureau will continue to implement temporary "single and double number" traffic restrictions, and new energy vehicles are not within the scope of restrictions. The time is from February 9, 2018 (the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month) to the 14th day (the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month), from 9: 00 to 19: 00 every day, for a total of 6 days. It is reported that the restricted area is east of Qingnian Road, south of Beima Road, north of Hongqi Middle Road and west of Jiefang Road and Yingxiang Road, including Qingnian Road, Beima Road, Jiefang Road and Yingxiang Road.

In the restricted area, motor vehicles pass by single and double numbers according to the tail number of the license plate (referring to the last digit of Arabic numerals in the license plate number, excluding English letters, the same below). The tail number of the license plate is even (including 0) for two-day traffic and odd for one-day traffic. Buses, taxis, road passenger transport, shuttle buses between factories and enterprises, special vehicles performing urgent tasks and new energy vehicles are not restricted; Vehicles transporting electric coal, petroleum, natural gas, vegetables, non-staple food and other articles that protect people’s livelihood are not restricted with valid passes. For freight vehicles, continue to follow the original restrictions.

Those who violate the restrictions will be investigated and dealt with by the public security traffic police department through the police on duty on the road and traffic monitoring equipment. For those who violate the traffic restrictions, the traffic police department will impose a fine of 200 yuan and record 3 points.
Analysis of Road Flow in Spring Festival travel rush
Analysis of national and provincial highway flow during Spring Festival travel rush. From the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the traffic volume began to increase obviously, and continued until the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month before the Spring Festival. From the first day to the fourth day of the first month, the traffic volume reached a low point, and from the fifth day to the sixth day, it began to peak on the return journey. From the seventh day, it slowly decreased until the sixteenth day of the first month, and then the traffic volume of national and provincial highways resumed to run smoothly.
It is predicted that during the period of Spring Festival travel rush in 2018, the traffic volume and passenger flow of the whole city may reach three peaks. The first wave, from February 13th to 15th, mainly focused on the traffic flow from urban areas to villages and towns, with directions from urban areas to rural areas and from coastal areas to inland areas. The second wave is around the end of the Spring Festival holiday (February 21), mainly for the peak of return and return traffic; From the end of the Spring Festival holiday to the Lantern Festival, the traffic volume gradually increased. The third wave is around the Lantern Festival on March 2, mainly for returning to work and students returning to school.
After the festival, temple fairs and lantern festivals will lead to congestion.
During the period of Spring Festival travel rush in 2017, the city collected 96 road traffic early warning incidents, with a year-on-year increase of 75%. Among them, the pre-holiday early warning events that have a great impact on urban road traffic include Beimalu Fish Market in Zhifu District (from the 20th to the 29th of the twelfth lunar month), shopping around Joy City in the urban area, shopping around Wanda, shopping around Zhenhua, shopping around three stations and shopping around RT Mart (from the 15th to the 29th of the twelfth lunar month), and the early warning events that have a great impact on county and urban road traffic include shopping around major business districts and "big gatherings" in various places years ago.

During the peak period, there will be a large increase in traffic volume at the entrances and exits of provincial highways and expressways in G204, G206, S302 and S308. The first wave was from February 13th to 15th, and the traffic reached its peak on the afternoon of February 14th before the festival. The second wave is around the end of the Spring Festival holiday on February 21, in which there is a small peak of visiting relatives on the third day of the first month, and the traffic reaches its peak in the afternoon of the sixth day of the first month; The third wave reached its peak after the Lantern Festival.
It is suggested that citizens travel according to the wrong peak of road conditions and have a happy and peaceful year. (Liu Yanbing comprehensively compiled the report)
News broadcast | Perception of ecological change-Mother River reappears vitality and vigor
The Yangtze River and the Yellow River are the mother rivers of the Chinese nation, which have nurtured a long history of Chinese civilization. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins are the main battlefields of ecological civilization construction". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, through a series of important measures, remarkable achievements have been made in the ecological protection and management of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and the mother river has regained its vitality.
The main stream of the Yangtze River has maintained Grade II water quality for five consecutive years.
On the banks of Liangzi Lake in Ezhou, Hubei Province in the Yangtze River Basin, as night falls, millions of fireflies attract an endless stream of tourists.
The team led by Fu Xinhua has been monitoring the migration and survival of fireflies for 20 consecutive years.

Fu Xinhua, a professor at Huazhong Agricultural University: In the past five years, the population size of rare aquatic fireflies has been expanding at a rate of 15% to 20% every year. Because these aquatic fireflies can only live in Class I water, it can also directly reflect that our water environment is getting better.

The research team’s high-sensitivity monitor and AI tracking and identification technology recorded the "footprints" of more than ten aquatic fireflies in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River: since 2016, the population size of the aquatic fireflies, which is the most sensitive to the water environment, has continued to expand. In ten years, the number has increased by more than 10 times.
In the air of 10,000 meters high, remote sensing satellites also perceive the ten-year changes in the water quality of the Yangtze River around fireflies.

This is a remote sensing satellite image taken in April 2015 in a tributary of the Changjiang River in Xianning, Hubei Province. The darker the yellow color, the higher the concentration of total phosphorus in the main pollutant.

This is the image of the same river section in April this year, and the color has changed from yellow to green, indicating that the total phosphorus concentration has dropped significantly.
In the past ten years, nearly 10,000 chemical enterprises in the Yangtze River Basin have been shut down and moved. While the pollution sources are decreasing, the "Skynet" that supervises the sewage outlets is becoming more and more dense.

By the end of 2024, the Yangtze River Economic Belt had surveyed 140,000 kilometers of river and lake shoreline, and found more than 180,000 sewage outlets into the river, with a remediation completion rate of about 90%.
According to the latest data, the water quality of the main stream of the Yangtze River has maintained Class II for five consecutive years.
The sediment discharge of the Yellow River in 2024 is more than the previous years’ average.
Reduce by over 80%
From the Yangtze River basin with dense water system to the north, the Yellow River, which is symbiotic with the Yangtze River, has also experienced ecological transformation in the past ten years.

This summer, Wanjiazhai, Sanmenxia and Xiaolangdi water control projects in the middle reaches of the Yellow River jointly carried out the 30th water and sediment transfer operation.
At Tongguan Hydrological Station in the upper reaches of Xiaolangdi Reservoir, the on-line photoelectric sediment detector penetrates the Yellow River water with light and senses the change of sediment content. We found that the sediment content in every cubic meter of Yellow River water flowing here decreased from the average of 27.5 kg (1952-2020) to 5.76 kg in 2024.

The key to the decrease of sediment in the Yellow River year by year lies in the Loess Plateau.
Overlooking the gullies on the Loess Plateau from high altitude, we saw a warping dam built to intercept floods and sediments. Today, there are 58,300 silt dams in the Yellow River Basin, with a cumulative sand retention of 7.4 billion tons. In 2024, the sediment discharge of the Yellow River decreased by over 80% compared with the previous years’ average.

When the satellite images of the Yangtze River estuary fade away from the turbidity of the past; When the Yellow River Delta is transformed into an ecological paradise where birds flock together, the rejuvenation of the Mother River not only allows the residents in the basin to share the ecological well-being, but also creates a "green backbone" for the sustainable development of the Chinese nation!

— — Grasp the adjustment frequency and range of the minimum wage standard steadily and cautiously.
The national conference on human resources and social security put forward that the reform of wage and income distribution system should be steadily and cautiously promoted. In 2018, it is necessary to introduce and implement the reform opinions on the wage determination mechanism of state-owned enterprises as soon as possible, deepen the reform of the salary system for the heads of state-owned enterprises, actively and steadily carry out the pilot reform of differentiated salary distribution, and carefully grasp the adjustment frequency and range of the minimum wage standard.
The reporter from Zhongxin. com noted that in 2017, more than 20 provinces raised the minimum wage, a significant increase compared with 2016. Since January 1, 2018, Jiangxi, Liaoning, Xizang and other regions have raised the minimum wage.
Su Hainan, vice president of china association for labour studies, told Zhongxin.com that raising the minimum wage standard is very important for ensuring and improving the basic livelihood of low-income wage earners and their dependents, and it will also drive the wage level of other posts and the calculation base of overtime pay to increase.

— — Expand the pilot reform of salary system in public hospitals
The National Conference on Human Resources and Social Security also proposed that we should focus on improving the wage and income distribution policies that reflect the characteristics of different occupational groups, strengthen the system design, and pay attention to the effective connection and coordinated promotion with the reform of civil servants’ classification and institutions. It is necessary to expand the pilot reform of the salary system in public hospitals and study and establish a salary survey and comparison system for civil servants and equivalent personnel in enterprises.
Recently, the Notice on Expanding the Pilot Reform of Salary System in Public Hospitals has been issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other departments, encouraging pilot hospitals to actively explore, promoting the linkage reform of medical care, medical insurance and medicine, and promoting the establishment of an incentive mechanism for more work and better pay, so as to further mobilize the enthusiasm of medical staff.

— — Meet the first set of just-needed, support improvement needs
The National Conference on Housing and Urban-Rural Construction revealed that in 2018, differentiated control policies will be implemented for all kinds of needs to meet the first set of needs, support the improvement of demand, and curb speculative real estate speculation.
Yan Yuejin, research director of the think tank center of Yiju Research Institute, predicts that the policy of satisfying the first set of just-needed orientation and supporting improved demand may be slightly relaxed, and the identification of the first suite and the second suite, the division of ordinary housing and non-ordinary housing and other aspects will not be ruled out. The possibility of fine-tuning the policy.

— — Housing provident fund loans will be easier to buy a house.
Housing accumulation fund can effectively reduce the burden of employees buying houses. According to estimates, a personal housing loan with a quota of 1 million yuan and a term of 20 years can save more than 200,000 yuan in interest expenses than a personal housing loan from a commercial bank. However, some real estate development enterprises refused to use housing provident fund loans to buyers, which seriously damaged the legitimate rights and interests of paid employees.
To this end, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and other departments recently jointly issued the Notice on Safeguarding the Rights and Interests of Employees’ Housing Provident Fund Loans, requiring real estate development enterprises not to restrict, obstruct or refuse buyers to use housing provident fund loans by raising housing sales prices or reducing price discounts, and not to require buyers to sign a written document voluntarily giving up their housing provident fund loan rights.
With the implementation of these regulatory measures, it is expected that it will be easier for employees to buy houses with housing provident fund loans, and they will be able to really enjoy the benefits brought by housing provident fund.

Buying new energy vehicles will usher in benefits. According to the announcement issued by the Ministry of Finance and other departments, from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020, the purchased new energy vehicles will be exempted from vehicle purchase tax. New energy vehicles exempted from vehicle purchase tax shall be managed by issuing the Catalogue of New Energy Vehicles Exempted from Vehicle Purchase Tax.
— — Expand the pilot project of expressway differentiated toll collection in different time periods
The National Transportation Work Conference proposed that in 2018, it is necessary to further reduce costs and steadily expand the pilot project of differentiated toll collection for expressways in different time periods. Consolidate the results of various fines, inspections and clean-up of enterprise-related charges in the transportation field.
The meeting also proposed to add 2,000 special lanes for electronic toll collection system (ETC) of expressways with 15 million users.
With the increasing number of ETC lanes, the pilot project of differentiated toll collection on expressways has been expanded. For car owners, it is not only more convenient to take the expressway, but also expected to enjoy more concessions. (End)
