Since its acquisition by Li Shufu, Volvo Cars has entered the "fast lane" of recovery. The latest sales figures show that Volvo sold 81,436 vehicles in China in 2015. In 2015, Volvo sold a total of 503,127 vehicles, setting a record for the first time in its 89-year history that it sold more than 500,000 vehicles.

The reason why Volvo has achieved such results is that on the one hand, its product brand has played a loud role, and on the other hand, the word-of-mouth performance of all its models is also very good. The Global Network Car Channel took stock of the word-of-mouth of overseas owners of all Volvo models in 2015.

XC90

The second-generation Volvo XC90, which debuted in Sweden at the end of August 2014, is Volvo’s flagship product of Nordic luxury SUV built with 11 billion euros and future technology, and shoulders the heavy responsibility of Volvo’s global brand revival.

Volvo Cars USA released data that in December 2015 its sales in the United States again reached 90% year-on-year growth, the new XC90 contributed nearly one-third of sales; annual sales exceeded 70,000, an increase of 24.3%.

So what is the image of the XC90 in the eyes of American car owners?

American netizens "Volvo Lover:) " gave the 2016 four-wheel drive 2.0-liter XC90 T6 a five-star review on the Edmonds website, with five stars for its safety, performance, purchase value, technical content, comfort, interior and reliability. Self-proclaimed Volvo enthusiast, he rated the second-generation XC90 as "a great model": "I have driven a lot of luxury cars, but I must say that the XC90 is the best one. BMW, Audi, Land Rover, etc. are simply far inferior to the XC90 in terms of material selection and quality. Some people don’t blindly attack the XC90 just because your little head can’t hold its various skills. The configuration of the XC90 is easy to use, and if you know how to operate an iPhone or tablet easily, you will use the same touch screen as the XC90. And I love the feel of the XC90’s grip! This car has a sedan-like driving experience, and it has super high-quality interior options such as Ipad-like configuration, leather seats and wood grain trim for the center console. Take a good look at it! "

On August 6, American netizens Adrain Ekendrod gave the 2016 XC902.0-liter four-wheel drive version a full five-star praise on the Edmonds website in the United States, with five stars for its safety, purchase value, performance, technical content, reliability, comfort, interior design, and reliability: "Although our 2016 XC90 has only been open for a week, we have really fallen in love with this SUV. This car is basically driven by my wife as a family car. At first we didn’t even think of buying a Volvo. We have driven the 2004 Volvo XC90 before, and the performance is mediocre, not to mention love, the size is not bad, the handling and fuel efficiency are not good. We cut the specs down to the XC60 and bought the 2012 model, which was indeed a bit better than the XC90, especially in terms of handling and fuel consumption. Still, it was nowhere near the luxury of our previous Mercedes. With two boys, the XC90 quickly felt crowded. We started looking at the bigger 2015/16 models again: the Acura MDX, Range Rover, Porsche Cayenne (too small), Audi Q7, and Mercedes GL. We have a preference for Mercedes-Benz, loving every Mercedes we have driven before, and it looks like our next car will be a Mercedes. But when we drove the XC60 to the dealership to exchange the offer, the new XC90 amazed our eyes. This new XC90 is nothing like the old model, and you can see at a glance what Volvo has achieved with the $1,100 entered by Geely. I am not at all worried that Volvo has a Chinese parent company, because Volvo cars are still designed and built in Sweden. If you look around, you will find that there are many high-end products that have been acquired by others. The luxury of the XC90 is completely comparable to that of German manufacturing. Although Europe is far ahead in terms of luxury, it is still slightly behind in terms of technology. In terms of technology, European cars are completely incomparable to high-end Japanese cars, let alone the configuration that can only be purchased at a price of $10,000 when you buy a European car. However, the new XC90 surpasses in both aspects. We bought a full-fledged version that lacked everything from the 18-way adjustable luxury front seats to the balanced mix of Nappa leather and birch and metal trim.Every detail has been thoughtfully designed and perfectly expressed. The head-up display is another feature worth having, so great that you don’t need to take your eyes off the road when driving. The huge panoramic sunroof is also a favorite design for rear and even third row passengers. For an SUV that can accommodate seven people, the XC90 drives well, especially with a four-cylinder configuration with an engine of only 2.0 liters. In terms of handling and performance, it is better than our XC60, which has twice the size of the engine. Although it is not as traction as the Q7, nor as sporty as Porsche or BMW, the XC90 does strike a balance between comfort, performance and practicality. Switching between four driving modes will make you feel like you are driving a luxury sedan rather than a large SUV. Safety is my number one consideration when buying a car for my family, which is why I love Mercedes so much, but the new Volvo has taught me how they design and build the safest cars. "

Don from Houston gave the 2016 XC90 a four-star overall rating on the US website cars on June 27 this year, with five stars for its comfort, appearance, reliability, and four stars for its performance, interior design, and purchase value: "I just drove the 16 XC90 in a Houston dealership with Sam. The new model is bigger and more luxurious than the old model. It feels more like driving a limousine than an SUV… Since I’m mostly driving downtown, I think that’s a plus. Vision, comfort, and safety are the advantages that make me choose the new XC90 when buying a car. However, currently Volvo only offers a four-wheel drive version, but based on my daily use, I think I am more inclined to buy the front-wheel drive version. Finally, based on my first impression, it is very likely that I will go to Gothenburg again to see my new XC90. "

Bob from Philadelphia gave the new XC90 a five-star review on the American cars website on May 5. In addition to its reliability rating of four stars, its comfort, performance, exterior design, interior design, and purchase value are all five stars: "I just drove the latest XC90 at the local dealership, and I bought another luxury SUV, but I think the XC90 is a’car that can drive the future now ‘. The high-end design, driving quality, and unparalleled safety features make it stand out. The price is much higher than that of an SUV with the same luxury configuration. However, it is difficult to adjust, and everyone’s taste is different, so every good car does not necessarily get everyone’s praise. All I can say is that if you’re interested in luxury SUVs, then the XC90 is one of the few cars you can consider. I think of all the models I’ve driven, the XC90 is the most valuable and the best.

XC60

The XC60, which combines off-road performance and sports car personality, is a compact luxury SUV created by Volvo for young people who pursue sporty characteristics. The 2015 XC60 follows the family design genes of safety and stability, and also adds many latest technologies such as active safety. It has gradually become its sales force, shouldering the mission of revitalizing Volvo.

How is Volvo’s "mainstay" model responding in the United States, another mainstream foreign market?

"Kineticap", a Palm Beach, Florida owner, gave the 2015 XC60 R-Design a five-star review on the American cars website on March 15. It rated its comfort, performance, exterior design, interior design and reliability with five stars, and its purchase value was four stars. The "car uncle" said: "I have bought 44 cars, from the Acura MDX to the Golf GTI, from the 1972 Chevrolet pickup to the Saab to the Honda… I have bought them all. The 2015 XC90 R-Design is by far the most satisfying car that combines performance, comfort, safety and other advantages. The seats are some of the most comfortable and supportive car seats on the market, blowing the sport out of my 2011 BMW 328 Tourer. The headrest is also perfect, it feels like it can be adjusted as you like, and the outer leather is soft, tough and durable. The steering wheel and steering feel very good to my hand, and the controls to be controlled are easy to touch. A heated steering wheel is basically unusable in Florida, but if you’re going north, it’s perfect. The interior is crafted and selected like any German car I’ve driven. The last row of seats folds easily and lies flat, and the headrest is easy to handle. And there’s plenty of room for both the front and back, and plenty of legroom. The only thing that needs to be improved is the menu and navigation settings of the connected system. Although this is a leading model in terms of wireless connectivity, it lacks a touchscreen and the navigation is not as intuitive as my 2015 Golf GTI. However, after getting used to it for the last day, you are very handy. I love this car and would recommend it to friends or their families, and anyone who likes sporty, practical, and highly safe cars. "

The Florida-based "MikeB" gave his 2015 XC60 a five-star Harping on the American cars website, rating it five stars for comfort, performance, exterior design, purchase value and reliability, and three stars for the interior design: "Great car. Much better than the 2011 model. But there are two drawbacks: the electronics are quite difficult to understand, and the center console design swallows up some legroom. The user manual mentions a lot of big parts, but doesn’t explain adaptive cruise control or how to reset average fuel efficiency. I think this is probably the most unreasonable user manual I’ve ever seen. But the ride and handling are excellent, and the fuel efficiency is great."

Netizen Lisa gave the 2015 Volvo XC60 a five-star review on the Edmonds website in the United States. It has five stars in terms of safety, value, performance, technical content, comfort, and interior. Its reliability is rated as one star (new car, can’t be evaluated for the time being): "This is my second Volvo, I just sold the S60 and replaced it with an XC60. I want a model with more space, but at the same time, it will not sacrifice appearance and performance. The quality of the Volvo XC60 is already good and cheap relative to the price. And with 5 years of free maintenance, the cost of retention is also very low. And the after-sales service department is also very stable, and the staff is very professional. I would encourage anyone looking to buy a car to check out the XC60. "

"ToddW" gave the 2015 Volvo XC60 a five-star review on the Edmonds website in the United States. It rated its safety, comfort and interior design as five stars, its performance and purchase value as three stars, and its technical content as four stars: "We bought the XC60 T5 e-drive platinum version. This car is unlike any car I have driven before. The interface of the stereo and air conditioning control is very simple, and the safety technology is excellent. The simple interface is very comfortable. You only need to press the button to adjust the temperature without swiping the touch screen. The safety configuration is very simple in practice, and the button design is very delicate. You can customize or adjust these settings when you are not driving. I actually bought this car for my daughter. When I bought the car, I paid more attention to active safety specs, looking at Honda, Acura and Subaru, but finally chose Volvo because Volvo is safer and better in many ways. But Subaru does a better job of active braking because it can hit the brakes when approaching a car at 25 mph and completely stop. Volvos don’t brake dead, but they hit at very low speeds. What the IIHS crash test doesn’t tell you is that Volvo uses both radar and cameras, while Subaru only has cameras, so when driving against the light, the camera will appear blind. Subaru doesn’t remind you that their collision avoidance system can sometimes blind, but Volvo doesn’t. I prefer the latter. Plus, Volvo’s workmanship is better and the seats are more comfortable. But Honda and Acura also use radar, and it’s worth for money. "

　　China Youth Network, Yunnan, July 27th (Reporter Song Li) "This is a heavy-duty cutting pliers, weighing 17.9 kg, which mainly cuts 1.5 cm steel bars and 1 cm thick steel plates; This cutting pliers is about 26.3 kg … …”

　　When hearing a series of accurate figures, it may not have a deep concept for many people. But after personally experiencing it, you will definitely know how heavy the weight behind these kilograms is! The 26.3 kg cutting pliers, with only one hand, the reporter tried his best not to pick it up, and he barely picked it up with both hands together. It is hard to imagine how to carry out rescue work with such a heavy tool, and the soldiers at the earthquake rescue site all picked up this cutting pliers with one hand.

　　Rescue soldiers told reporters that from environmental detection, rescue to post-disaster reconstruction, what kind of rescue equipment is used in what kind of environment and what kind of pliers are suitable for cutting things with how wide and thick, they have long remembered it.

This kind of rescue experience is very important, and it can also save a lot of time for rescue. In front of life, even a second is fast." Using good tools is using good weights to fight death.

　　"The scout first explores the environment, and then decides what kind of rescue tools to use according to the environmental conditions". Yang Jian, a 27-year-old soldier who participated in the rescue of Ludian earthquake in 2014, introduced and demonstrated various detection tools like a lecture. This is an oxygen detector, a multi-gas detector and a leakage detector & HELIP; …

　　As a member of the national defense activity of the online media "Building a Strong Military Dream Together", the reporter from China Youth Network came to a brigade of the 75th Army of the Army in these two days and came into contact with many soldiers of the earthquake emergency rescue team. When talking about the rescue details, they all had such a habit. When talking about the rescue of earthquake survivors and the remains of victims, we will systematically decompose the rescue steps, and find suitable rescue tools like searching in the database, and tell reporters about each rescue equipment like a few treasures.

　　Making good use of every rescue tool is just like cleaning up the clods and stones pressed on the victims by hand under special circumstances, which is a prudent decision. For well-trained and experienced rescue fighters, this cautious decision may be a second or two.

　　It is this national-level earthquake emergency rescue team established in 2003, in which Road Sanlian was awarded the National Hero Collective for Earthquake Relief. They have carried out many emergency missions of earthquake rescue. Qujing earthquake, Wenchuan earthquake, Ludian earthquake and Lushan earthquake … … They are all over the city. In the international earthquake rescue, there is no lack of this professional rescue team from China.

　　Wearing a bright red rescue suit means taking on the power of life. This touch of red on the earthquake rescue site is the hope of life. Some people may ask, for these earthquake rescue soldiers who are in their early twenties, or even under the age of 20, will they be afraid and sad to witness the ruthlessness of the disaster and the sadness of where will you go?

　　"To tell the truth, yes!" "However, I am more aware that I am a soldier. The earthquake rescue site is like a battlefield. Life and death are instantaneous. Saving more lives is my greatest duty." Li Liang, a 21-year-old soldier who once participated in Nepal’s rescue, said.

　　Fu Cha, the king of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, was the first to dig the Grand Canal. Fu Cha (about 528 BC — In 473 BC), he was the last monarch of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Fu Cha, the king of Wu, used the natural water system between the Yangtze River and Huaihe River to dig an artificial channel — — Hangou According to Zuo Zhuan, in the ninth year of Lu Aigong (486 BC), "Wu Chenghan, connecting the river and Huai River" [Zuo Zhuan’s Nine Years of Mourning for the Duke, Spring and Autumn Siming Zuo].

This is the earliest section of the Grand Canal in China with an exact date. In the second year after Fu Cha opened the Hangou, Wu Jun went north along the newly opened canal. With the help of the convenient water passage, Wu Jun sailed like a flying boat, sweeping across the country, trapping Chen, defeating his troops and retreating from Chu, and finally returning home in triumph.

　　Who dug the earliest salt river?

　　In the Western Han Dynasty, the Shangguan Yunhe Salt River dug by Wu Wang Liu Bi was the earliest one. This is an artificial canal with Yangzhou as the center to the eastern coastal area of Jianghuai.Liu Bi, the prince of Wu, was the son of Liu Zhong, the second brother of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, and was named the prince of Wu for his meritorious service in pacifying Ying Bu. His fiefdom "Three Counties and Fifty-three Cities" [The Ancestor of the Two Kings Canal in Yangzhou], with Guangling (that is, Yangzhou) as its capital, including Yuzhang County and Huiji County, almost covers the main territory of East China today. According to Records of the Historian, (Liu Ying) "You get money by frying ore and salt by boiling water". It was from local materials that Liu Bi mined and minted money, and boiled seawater for salt, which made Wu rich. 195 BC — In the first 154 years, in order to transport the salt rich in the eastern coast of the fief to Yangzhou, Liu Bi, referring to the practice of Fu Cha, presided over the excavation of the Shangguanyun Salt River, that is, from Zhuyuwan Scenic Spot, Yangzhou to Hailingcang, and then to Rugao, Hai ‘an, with a length of 195 miles. Emperor Han Jing took the suggestion of Chao Cuo, an ancient imperial physician, and cut off the kingdom fiefs. In the name of "killing Chao Cuo on the side of the Qing Dynasty", Liu Bi joined forces with seven countries, including Chu and Zhao, and publicly rebelled in Dinghai (154 BC) in the third year before Emperor Jingdi, which is known as "the rebellion of the seven countries with Wu and Chu". After being defeated by Zhou Yafu, the commander of the Han army, Liu Bi was defeated and killed. The canals dug by Fu Cha and Liu Bi, two kings of Wu, made Yangzhou prosperous for 2000 years.The people of Yangzhou built the "Erwang Temple" to commemorate the two ancestors of the Grand Canal. The Erwang Temple was destroyed in the 1950s. In 2007, Yangzhou rebuilt a "Mangou Dawang Temple" next to the ancient Mangou.

　　What contribution did Chen Deng make to the Grand Canal in the Eastern Han Dynasty?

　　In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chen Deng presided over the excavation of Han Gou.It has played an important role in the development of the Grand Canal.

　　Chen Deng was born in Xiapi Huaipu (now Lianshui West, Jiangsu Province). He was bright, quiet and resourceful. When he was a teenager, he had the ambition to help the world and the people, and he was well-read and knowledgeable. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he served as the prefect of Guangling. Due to the fact that Han Gou detours to the northeast above Fanliang Lake, and there is the danger of waves in Bozhi and Sheyang Lakes, with the development of water transport, it is inevitable to avoid bends and take straightness. Therefore, in the early Jian ‘an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, considered that "Huai Lake is far away, the land and water are different, and the mountains and rivers are impassable [Qing Liu Wenqi in Yangzhou Waterway]", it was "crossing the ditch and chiseling the horse". At the beginning of Jian ‘an, Chen Deng presided over the excavation project, from the mouth of Fanliang Lake, through the canal to Jinhu (that is, Jieshou Lake, which governs the south in today’s Baoying County), and then from Jinhu Lake to Baima Lake (in the northwest of today’s Baoying County), until the end of Shanyang River enters Huai River.This is the first reconstruction project for the canal of the Han River in history. After Chen Deng’s large-scale excavation, a relatively straight new transportation road was formed, which was called the Hangou West Road in history.Han Gou Xi Dao is roughly the same as today’s Li Canal. During his tenure, Chen Deng also built water conservancy facilities along the Huaihe River (the predecessor of Gaojia weir), Broken Kettle Pond and Chengongtang to develop farmland irrigation, which restored agriculture in Jianghuai area, which was destroyed repeatedly at the end of Han Dynasty, to a certain extent.

　　Who presided over the digging of Baigou?

　　Cao Cao, a politician in the Eastern Han Dynasty, presided over the digging of the white ditch. Cao Cao (155 years — In 200), the word Meng De was born in Peiguoqiao County (now Bozhou, Anhui Province). Politician, strategist and poet in the Three Kingdoms. Han Jian ‘an seven to nine years (202 — In 204), Cao Cao successively repaired Suiyang Canal to Guandu; "Stop Qi water from entering Baigou to pass the route for providing foodstuff (now in the east of Weixian Town, Qixian County, Henan Province). From this, the tanker can connect the upper reaches of the Weihe River and the lower reaches of the Yellow River at that time, and connect the rivers of the Haihe River system to the northeast.In the 11th year of Jian ‘an, Cao Cao invaded Wuhuan in the north, and dug Pinglu Canal and Quanzhou Canal to communicate Baigou, Hutuo River, Baoqiu Water (Donglu Water) and Suishui (now Luanhe River). Baigou, Pinglu Canal and Quanzhou Canal became the predecessors of Yongji Canal in Sui Dynasty.

　　Today, the predecessor of Zhangwei River is Baigou.

　　Who built Shao Bo Dai?

　　It was Xie An, a politician in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who built Shao Bo. Xie An (320 — In 385), the word Anshi was born in Yangxia, Chen Jun (now Taikang, Henan Province). When he was filial to Emperor Wu, he was the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In 385, Xie An dredged the canal in northern Jiangsu, and built a dam to store water and facilitate navigation in Shao Bo today. According to historical records, "Xie Anzhu was built in the north of the new city, and the people relied on it. Compared with helping Zhou Zhi to call Bo, it was named Bo Dai."It is precisely because the people compare Xie An to Zhao Bo, and "Zhao" means "Shao". This place was later called Shaobo Town.. "Poem Zhao Nan Gan Tang": "Cover Gan Tang, don’t cut it, call Bo." Zhao Bo once worked under the Gan Tang tree, asking people to never cut down or destroy a leaf of the Gan Tang tree, which can be described as loving. This love comes from heartfelt gratitude for Zhao Gong’s moral education. Therefore, Shao Bo is also called Gan Tang, and now there is an ancient Gan Tang tree in the town. Shao Bo people also built Xie ‘an Square, and are preparing to build Xie Taifu Temple, which fully reflects the gratitude of Shao Bo people to Xie ‘an.

　　Who was the first person to run through the Grand Canal?

　　Emperor Yangdi Yang Guang was the first person to run through the Grand Canal. Yang Guang, Emperor Yangdi of Sui Dynasty (April 11th, 569-618), was born in Huayin (now Huayin, Shaanxi), the second son of Emperor Wen of Sui, Emperor of Sui Dynasty, and the second emperor of Sui Dynasty. Born in Daxing, the capital of Sui Dynasty, he succeeded to the throne in July in the fourth year of Renshou (604). During his reign, he built the Grand Canal (opening Yongji Canal, Tongji Canal, adding Han Gou and Jiangnan Canal), built the capital of Luoyang as the east, initiated the imperial examination system, personally levied Tuguhun and three Goguryeo, which caused chaos in the world and directly led to the collapse of the Sui Dynasty. He was hanged by his men in Jiangdu in 618 AD.

　　In 584, Yang Jian, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, ordered Yuwen Kai to lead the people to open the canal.Wei River is drawn from the northwest of Xingcheng, slightly following the old course of Cao Canal in Han Dynasty, and flows into the Yellow River in Tongguan, which is more than 150 kilometers long and is named Guangtong Canal. In 604 AD, it was renamed Yongtong Canal.Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty excavated the Shanyang River to the east of Han ‘gou, also known as Shanyangdu. However, with the development of politics, economy and culture in the north and south, the local canals built can no longer meet the needs of society. Communicating the north-south waterway has become an urgent need for social and economic exchanges.

　　In the first year of Daye (AD 605), in the first year of his accession to the throne, Emperor Yangdi ordered more than one million people from Henan and Huaibei counties to build Tongji Canal. In the same year, he also recruited more than 100,000 migrant workers from Huainan to open a ditch, which entered the Yangtze River from Shanyang to Yangzi. The canal was 40 steps wide, and both sides were built with neat and flat imperial roads and planted with willows. In the fourth year of the great cause, millions of migrant workers from Hebei Province were recruited to dig Yongji Canal to meet the needs of Liaodong. Communicate with the Yangtze River and Yellow River in 610. So far, the project of digging the Grand Canal has been basically completed. It took six years before and after Emperor Yangdi dug the Grand Canal.Emperor Yangdi successively dug and dredged Tongji Canal from the Yellow River to Bianshui and then from Bianshui to Huaihe River. There are also gullies that enter the Yangtze River from the Huaihe River; Jiangnan River from Jingkou (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu) to Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang); Lead Qinshui south to the Yellow River and north to Yongji Canal in Zhuojun (now Beijing). These canals are connected from north to south, which is the famous Grand Canal in Sui Dynasty.The Grand Canal runs from Zhuojun in the north to Yuhang in the south, winding for more than 5,000 miles (2,700 kilometers) from north to south. The Grand Canal in Sui Dynasty takes Huiji, Luoyang and Zhuojun as three points, and the Jiangnan River, Hangou, Tongji Canal and Yongji Canal are four sections, connecting the five major water systems of Qiantang River, Yangtze River, Huaihe River, Yellow River and Haihe River.

　　The completion of the Grand Canal promoted the development of cities on both sides of the Canal, and cities such as Jiangdu, Yuhang and Zhuojun prospered quickly. At that time, on the canal, "merchant ships traveled back and forth, and ships could not stop riding." The Grand Canal promoted the economic and cultural exchanges between the North and the South during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, maintained national unity and strengthened centralized system. Pi Rixiu wrote a poem in the Tang Dynasty: "Ten thousand dragons and green trees were carried to Yangzhou and never returned. It should be the god to teach people to open the bian river, here a thousand miles of the ground can not see a mountain. It is said that the sui dynasty national subjugation is because of this river, but now it is still flowing, the north and south vessels are therefore unimpeded. If there is no water temple dragon boat, there is not much merit in the discussion. " ("Two Poems of Nostalgia on the Bianhe River")

　　Who solved the water source problem in the south section of the Jiangnan Canal?

　　Qian Liu has solved the water source problem in the south section of the Jiangnan Canal. Qian Liu (852 — 932), with beautiful words, was born in Lin ‘an, Hangzhou. The founder of Wu Yue State in the Five Dynasties. During Qian Liu’s reign, he attached great importance to water conservancy, took "protecting the environment and protecting the people" as the national policy, and built seawalls, expanded Hang Cheng, developed agriculture and mulberry, dredged lakes and rivers, opened up shipping and expanded trade, which played a positive role in the development of Hangzhou and Zhejiang. In order to solve the water source problem in the south section of the Jiangnan Canal, Qian Liu, King of Wu Yue, implemented projects such as dredging the West Lake, diverting the tide from the river and building double gates.He believes that Taihu Lake area "is surrounded by streams and lakes, connected with rivers and seas, and endowed with a wide range of land, so it is necessary to contribute to irrigation and use it to cultivate mulberry."In addition to harnessing ditches, building seawalls and dredging the West Lake in Hangzhou, Tianbao five years (915),He also set up a special ambassador for farming in Dushui, and ordered him to raise four soldiers next to Taihu Lake to create a shallow army and personally command it.There are seven or eight thousand people in Liaoshallow Army, whose main task is to harness rivers and build dikes. The practice of clearing the gap year by year, that is, the professional team insists on dredging all the year round. In the second year of Baozheng (927), Zhehu Lake and xin jing Pond entered the sea from Xiaoguanpu. Along the Yangtze River, it reaches the Jiangyin boundary in Changzhou, and each river and each pond has a weir gate, and a maintenance system of water network pond and polder field is established. "Every field is divided into dikes, and the dikes must be long. Every year or two, people who build dikes will build dikes and dredge the harbor, so the dikes in the lowlands are always solid, and the ports in dry fields are always open" ["Grand Canal Celebrity" 59]. Therefore, floods and droughts were rare in wuyue period, and they were abundant in their early years.

　　Deputy Director of Yangzhou Press and Publication Bureau.During the application for the World Heritage of the Grand Canal in China, he served as the full-time director of the World Cultural Heritage Office of the Grand Canal and the deputy director of the World Heritage Office of Yangzhou, the leading city, and experienced the process of applying for the World Heritage of the Grand Canal.

　　On July 19th, according to Xinhua News Agency, Premier Li Qiang of the State Council presided over the the State Council executive meeting on the same day, which studied the policies and measures to strengthen support for large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods.

　　The meeting pointed out that large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods are highly tractive, and increasing policy support is conducive to better releasing the potential of domestic demand. The meeting decided to make overall arrangements for ultra-long-term special treasury bonds to further promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods.

　　The Red Star journalist noted that on March 1 this year, the Standing Committee of the State Council deliberated and adopted the Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods. At that time, the meeting proposed that we should increase fiscal, taxation, financial and other policy support in combination with the differentiated needs of upgrading various types of equipment and consumer goods, give better play to the traction role of energy consumption, emissions, technology and other standards, and promote "trade-in".

　　What signals have been released from the "old-for-new" meeting of the National People’s Congress? How to ensure the policy landing? On July 20th, Bai Ming, a member of the Academic Degrees Committee of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, said in an interview with Red Star News reporter that the decision of the Standing Committee of the State Council to further promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods is undoubtedly a new kinetic energy for China’s economic development and a key means to promote the development level of manufacturing industry and improve the quality of consumer products.

　　Further promote "trade-in"

　　Ultra-long-term special national debt is a realistic choice.

　　The Standing Committee of the State Council decided to make overall arrangements for extra-long special treasury bonds to further promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods.

　　In this regard, Su Jian, a professor at Peking University University of Economics, said in an interview with Red Star News reporter that under the current economic situation, the decision of the Standing Committee of the State Council to make overall arrangements for ultra-long-term treasury bonds to further promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods is a practical choice. By issuing ultra-long-term treasury bonds, it will definitely help support economic growth and stabilize the economic situation in the short term.

　　Bai Ming, a member of the Academic Degrees Committee of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, also said in an interview with Red Star News that the decision of the Standing Committee of the State Council to further promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods is undoubtedly a new kinetic energy for China’s economic development and a key means to promote the development level of manufacturing industry and improve the quality of consumer products.

　　Bai Ming said that by reading the contents of this regular meeting of the State Council, it can be seen that in the process of supporting large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in policies and measures for consumer goods, the "where does the money come from" has been solved — — Issue ultra-long-term special government bonds and "where is the money going" — — It is used for large-scale equipment updating and consumer goods trade-in.

　　Expand the scope of support to

　　Energy and electricity, old elevators and other fields.

　　In March this year, the State Council issued the Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods, which defined 20 key tasks in five aspects, and proposed that by 2027, the scale of equipment investment in industries, agriculture, construction, transportation, education, cultural tourism, medical care and other fields will increase by more than 25% compared with 2023.

　　The reporter noted that this meeting of the National People’s Congress pointed out that the support methods for equipment renewal projects should be optimized, and the scope of support should be extended to equipment renewal in the fields of energy and electricity, old elevators, and energy conservation, carbon reduction and safety transformation in key industries, so as to lower the declaration threshold and simplify the approval process.

　　In addition, the meeting also pointed out that we should support the scrapping and updating of old operating ships and trucks, raise the subsidy standards for agricultural machinery and new energy buses, and increase the financial discount ratio of equipment renewal loans. Support local governments to enhance the trade-in ability of consumer goods, increase subsidies for scrapping and upgrading automobiles and replacing old household appliances, and implement financial support policies for recycling and processing waste electrical and electronic products.

　　In this regard, Su Jian said that the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress decided to optimize the support methods for equipment renewal projects, and expand the scope of support to equipment renewal in energy and electricity, old elevators and other fields, as well as energy saving, carbon reduction and safety transformation in key industries, indicating that under the current economic situation, strong measures must be introduced to stabilize the economic situation and stimulate economic growth.

　　Su Jian believes that the central government has a strong desire to promote economic growth, and is willing to support economic growth by issuing more government bonds, hoping to upgrade the production technology level of enterprises and improve the development level of the whole industry and the quality of life of the people through equipment renewal and trade-in.

　　Expert advice:

　　We should improve the efficiency of capital utilization as much as possible.

　　Bai Ming suggested that in the process of policy implementation, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of capital utilization as much as possible, and try to choose projects with high technology content that can drive an industry or even drive the development of the industrial chain, so that large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods can really drive economic growth and effectively improve people’s living standards, instead of blindly going to projects in the name of policies, resulting in derivative problems such as waste of funds and resources and overcapacity.

　　"Under the current economic situation, this policy promulgated by the National People’s Congress can be said to be an important starting point for China to stimulate the economy. We need to wait and see its progress and achievements." Bai Ming said.

　　Su Jian also believes that this regular meeting of the National People’s Congress has pointed out that the source of funds is the issuance of government bonds. In the process of policy implementation, it is necessary to ensure that funds can be used for related projects in a timely and sufficient manner, and at the same time, the buyers should have enough funds and confidence to complete equipment renewal and trade-in.

　　"Taking the trade-in of consumer goods as an example, while providing financial subsidies, more measures should be taken to mobilize consumers’ willingness to change, so as to ensure that the policy can finally be transformed into tangible economic growth results." Su Jian said.

　　Deepen the concept of "two mountains" and start again in beautiful countryside — — 2021 beautiful countryside in Dinghai, Zhejiang Province was held a few days ago in Ma ‘ao Village, Dinghai District, Zhoushan City. At the opening ceremony, Dinghai District officially signed a cooperation agreement with UN-Habitat and Tongji University to promote the practice of Dinghai’s net zero-carbon rural areas, and issued guidelines for the planning of net zero-carbon rural areas.

　　Net zero carbon is called carbon neutrality, which refers to offsetting greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide produced by human life through energy saving and emission reduction, industrial adjustment and afforestation, and finally achieving the goal of "net zero emission". In recent years, based on resource endowment and basic advantages, Dinghai has put the concept of net zero carbon throughout the rural revitalization work and actively explored the construction of net zero carbon rural areas.

　　In 2019, Xinjian Village in Dinghai District was unveiled at the first UN Habitat Conference as a typical case of a global net zero-carbon village. Energy-saving aerial power station, unpowered entertainment facilities, sewage recycling … … In Xinjian village, people can enjoy the beautiful rural scenery of light clouds, green mountains and flowing water, dancing butterflies and singing birds, and feel the concept of "net zero carbon" implanted here. This year’s "May Day", the number of tourists who come to Xinjian Village to experience the rural customs has reached a new high, and the practice of net zero carbon has laid a foundation for the construction of beautiful countryside and the long-term development of rural tourism.

　　At present, Dinghai District has formulated ten guidelines for Dinghai’s clean zero-carbon villages according to the United Nations "Guidelines for the Planning of Clean Zero-carbon Villages". Six clean zero-carbon demonstration sites, including Ma ‘ao Village and Huangsha Village, have been upgraded in batches, and digital thinking technology runs through all fields of low-carbon rural construction. Use old wood, tiles and stones to transform houses; In the construction of ecological homestay, "facilities give way to trees", and the original masonry is used to reduce the use of concrete; Reasonable selection of building orientation and location of doors and windows, as far as possible to achieve passive heating and ventilation to reduce energy use … … All development projects in the village are based on the advantages of ecological environment and aim at the development of green and low-carbon cycle.

　　During the beautiful countryside Week, Dinghai also launched a series of supporting activities, using music festivals, sports activities, markets and other diversified forms to build the brand of "Village Agreed Sea", expand the influence of Dinghai beautiful countryside, and polish the "golden business card" of Dinghai rural cultural tourism. Come to the island to ride and camp, pull out the crab cage, and walk in the village to enjoy the flowers and residents’ accommodation. Dinghai Village not only has the beautiful scenery created by "green mountains and green hills", but also reaps the numerous achievements brought by "Jinshan Yinshan".

　　In recent years, the price of mineral resources has been rising due to strong market demand, and some lawless elements have illegally exploited the national mineral resources, which not only destroyed the national mineral resources and the management order in this field, but also caused damage to the ecological environment.

　　Today, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate released four typical cases of procuratorial organs punishing illegal mining of mineral resources according to law. The person in charge of the First Procuratorate of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate answered questions from the reporter of Rule of Law Daily on the overall situation of punishing illegal mining of mineral resources according to law, the characteristics of illegal sand mining crimes and the focus of future work.

　　Reporter: Mineral resources are an important material basis for economic and social development, and the development of mineral resources is related to the national economy and people’s livelihood and national security. What is the overall situation of procuratorial organs punishing the crime of stealing mineral resources according to law? What are the main measures and results?

　　Person in charge of the First Prosecutor’s Office: From 2019 to 2021, the national procuratorial organs approved the arrest of 8,210 cases with 15,253 people and prosecuted 10,561 cases with 25,649 people for illegal mining and destructive mining crimes, which effectively cracked down and shocked the crimes.

　　This kind of crime has many points, long lines and wide areas, and the means are refurbished and repeatedly banned. Procuratorial organs always regard the protection of mineral resources as a major political responsibility and an important political task, constantly strengthen coordination and linkage with courts, public security organs, natural resources and other departments, and work together to promote the continuous improvement of the level of mineral resources protection.

　　Procuratorial organs actively cooperated with public security organs to carry out special rectification actions in the field of natural resources, severely punished "sand tyrants" and "mine tyrants" according to law, and prosecuted 253 criminal cases involving 1960 people involved in illegal mining. Give full play to the advantages of procuratorial integration in handling cases, supervise and supervise major and difficult illegal mining cases, and designate different jurisdictions to ensure the quality of case handling. Insist on early intervention in difficult and complicated illegal mining cases, and put forward opinions on case characterization, legal application and fixed evidence to ensure a precise strike. Strengthen communication with the discipline inspection and supervision organs, transfer the "umbrella" clues in time, and ensure deep penetration.

　　On the other hand, the procuratorial organs pay more attention to recovering and confiscating illegal income, and guide the investigation organs to pursue the persons involved and find out the property involved simultaneously, effectively preventing criminals from transferring and hiding the assets involved in illegal mining, and using various means such as recovering and confiscating illegal income to completely destroy the economic foundation of illegal mining.

　　In handling cases, procuratorial organs give full play to the advantages of "criminal+public interest litigation" system. If criminal acts of destroying mineral resources cause damage to public interests, they shall file criminal incidental civil public interest litigation according to law, and at the same time, they shall be ordered to bear civil liability for compensation, restore the damaged ecological environment and earnestly safeguard environmental public interests.

　　In view of the management loopholes found in the competent departments of the industry in handling cases, the procuratorial organs issued procuratorial suggestions in time to promote source governance. Strictly implement the requirements of "whoever enforces the law and popularizes the law", strengthen policy propaganda and explain the law in combination with handling cases, and enhance the social awareness of protecting the ecological environment and mineral resources.

　　Reporter: In recent years, there have been many cases of illegal sand mining in inland rivers and oceans. What characteristics have the procuratorial organs found in handling these cases? In view of these situations, what experiences and practices have the procuratorial organs summed up in practice?

　　Person in charge of the First Prosecutor’s Office: Against the background of rising sand and gravel prices, crimes of illegally mining river sand and sea sand are on the rise. The characteristics of these cases are that fishermen or shipping practitioners are involved in many cases, and most of them are criminal gangs with tight internal organization and strong anti-detection ability. The illegal mining of river sand often threatens the ecological safety of water bodies, dike safety and navigation safety in waters. At the same time, the case revealed that the placer resource market needs to be standardized.

　　After the implementation of the Yangtze River Protection Law in March, 2021, a serious case of illegal exploitation of river sand occurred in the Yangtze River — — 32 people, including Zhang Moushan, illegally mined, and Ma Mouyu concealed and concealed the proceeds of crime.

　　Due to the large number of people involved, large geographical span and high social concern, in order to completely destroy the criminal group, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security jointly listed and supervised the case, efficiently fixed key evidence, and at the same time paid off the illegal income with all their efforts. One of the defendants who committed the crime again and had a criminal record of illegal mining was investigated for punitive damages in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Civil Code, and the "seven inches" of this kind of profit-seeking crime was pinpointed, thus achieving the dual purposes of legal punishment and crime prevention.

　　At present, illegal sand mining has gradually spread from inland rivers to the ocean, and has formed a "mining — Yun — Sales "integrated black industrial chain. Pirates of sea sand and some shipping practitioners work together to commit crimes. They use the method of "separation of mining and transportation" and "selling immediately after mining" to commit crimes. The procuratorial organ handling the case actively guides the investigation organ to collect fixed evidence, and makes every effort to arrest the criminals in the interest chain of the crime of stealing sea sand. For the transportation, intermediary and purchasing personnel who take the initiative to put forward and strengthen their criminal determination in joint crimes, they shall be investigated for their criminal responsibility as accomplices of criminals who steal mineral resources, and according to the status and profit of participants at all levels, the principal and accessory offenders shall be accurately identified to ensure that they are punished as crimes.

　　In order to better improve the quality and efficiency of handling criminal cases against illegal exploitation of sea sand, procuratorial organs strengthened communication with investigation organs and issued documents to guide and standardize the investigation of cases in time, which laid a solid foundation for promoting the normalization and standardization of such cases.

　　Reporter: What measures will the procuratorial organs take to further strengthen the crackdown on the crime of stealing mineral resources?

　　Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, head of the First Prosecutor’s Office, pointed out that Chinese-style modernization is the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Respecting nature, conforming to nature and protecting nature are the inherent requirements of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. In the next step, the procuratorial organs will do a solid job in the procuratorial protection of mineral resources from various aspects.

　　Procuratorial organs will carry out in-depth special rectification actions in the field of natural resources and continue to severely punish crimes of stealing mineral resources. For major cases, designated jurisdiction, upgraded investigation, and assignment from different places are adopted, and "sand tyrants" and "mine tyrants" are severely punished according to law, forming a joint force to crack down. Adhere to the problem-oriented, make efforts to study and solve outstanding difficulties and problems in judicial handling by issuing and answering opinions, and do a good job in connecting and supporting laws. Actively perform legal supervision duties, further strengthen cooperation with public security organs, marine police agencies, natural resources, water conservancy and other departments, strengthen the connection between administrative law enforcement and criminal justice, and establish a liaison system for daily work. Unify law enforcement standards and applicable standards of laws, and strive to solve the problems of difficult evidence collection and identification of criminal cases that damage the ecological environment. Pay attention to strengthening the connection and coordination between criminal prosecution and public interest litigation, and pay attention to treating both the symptoms and the root causes in view of the limited means of supervision behind the crime of stealing mineral resources and the urgent need to standardize the placer resource market. Further increase the publicity of law popularization. Adhere to normalization and go into towns, mines and other areas to carry out publicity activities for popularizing law. Continue to expose typical cases, and carry out popularization of law by means of case interpretation, etc., to deter illegal and criminal acts.
