The international gold price has fallen. Why are people still keen on buying gold?

  Recently, the price of domestic gold retail market has been rising continuously, which has aroused heated public opinion. In 2022, the minimum retail price of gold was only 368 yuan/gram, but now the price of jewelry gold in some areas has reached 615 yuan/gram, which has soared by 63% in a year and a half. However, at a discount, the price is generally 570-600 yuan/gram. 

  The price of gold has risen, first of all, because of the arrival of the traditional holiday consumption peak season, and the demand for gold consumption such as marriage has increased. According to the data of China Gold Association, the national gold consumption in the first half of this year was 554.88 tons, a year-on-year increase of 16.37%. Among them, gold jewelry was 368.26 tons, up 14.82% year-on-year, accounting for more than 60% of the total consumption; Gold bars and coins reached 146.31 tons, a year-on-year increase of 30.12%. The domestic physical gold market is a relatively closed market, and the price will rise when the market demand increases greatly. 

  At the same time, the central bank’s interest rate cut has a certain impact on the price of gold. The central bank’s interest rate cut injects liquidity and encourages investment and consumption, which will lead to the flow of funds to gold consumption and safe-haven investment, thus pushing up the price of gold. 

  In this wave of gold buying craze, young people have become the main force, which is different from the traditional perception that aunts buy gold. 

  Young people buy gold more because they lack better investment options. 

  Not surprisingly, young people are also Chinese. Chinese always likes to buy gold, and the influence of this cultural gene is subtle. Many times, it is not that young people are different from the previous generation, but that they are not old enough. When they grow up, when the time is right, they often drink white wine, buy gold and dance square dance like their elders. 

  In fact, young people have long been the main buyers of gold. According to the White Paper of China Gold and Jewelry Consumption Survey in 2021, customers aged 25 to 35 account for 75.59% of the consumers in gold shops. Faced with this trend, in recent years, in order to attract young customers, gold jewelry brands have been making their products younger, launching cartoon models and joint models, such as tinkling cats, HelloKitty and Cinnamoroll, which are welcomed by young people. 

  Among them, new varieties such as "Jin Doudou" and "Little Yellow Croaker" are the most sought after, and "Save Golden Beans" has become a popular financial management method in the post-1990s, so buy a few once in a while. Many stores on the online shopping platform have a monthly sales volume of "Jin Doudou" products exceeding 10,000. These products have obvious saving function first. This product is simple in shape, usually one weight is one gram, and it is also easy to count. The slogan of the merchants is "saving money to be a good product" and "small golden bean investment fund", which also emphasizes the function of preserving value and saving. In fact, among gold products, the sales of gold beans, gold coins and gold bars have the fastest growth rate, surpassing all kinds of gold jewelry, which means that consumers, especially young people, pay more attention to the saving value function of gold products. 

  The price of one gram in Jin Doudou is 500-600 yuan. For young people, although there is no interest, it seems to be more reliable than risky stock markets and funds in the context of rising gold prices. At present, the economic pressure is great, and young people want to avoid danger. Buying gold is actually because there is nothing else to buy. The stock market is not good, and all kinds of jokes circulating on social media are viral. Young people are naturally more exposed to these paragraphs, and naturally they are afraid of the stock market and financial management. 

  In the face of the price increase of gold, a mentality is to buy up and not buy down. I feel that although the price of gold has risen greatly, I have this demand and I am worried that it will continue to rise, so I will still buy it. Moreover, there is hope in my heart: after buying it, the price of gold continues to rise, and it will be earned. There was an online poll on "Will the price of gold rise in the future" initiated by the media, in which 608 people voted and 67% of the respondents chose "Will it rise". This mentality will also affect young people. 

  Moreover, these Jin Doudou, small yellow croaker, because of their shapes, have a certain social function, and they can make friends when they buy them. To some extent, for young people, this is like a blind box or a hand-made one, which also has the function of showing off. Buying two blind boxes a week costs the same as buying a Jin Doudou a month, and Jin Doudou’s show-off function may be stronger. 

  However, from the perspective of financial management, buying physical gold is not a good choice for hedging or saving. 

  The price of gold fell in dollar terms, while the price of RMB rose. Did young people buy loneliness? 

  In most cases, gold is still a risky financial asset. Moreover, it is difficult to realize physical gold. Unless the financial collapse and social collapse, paper gold and gold contracts are much better than physical gold. Therefore, buying gold is actually a helpless choice for young people in the economic downturn, financial turmoil and lack of knowledge in the stock market. 

  In addition, the international gold price is falling now. 

  Since the beginning of this year, the international gold price has fallen from a high level after consolidation, and then rebounded, rising from $1,850 per ounce. On May 4, the international spot price of gold stood at $2,080. But since then, the international gold price has started to fall, and the current price per ounce is around $1,930. Therefore, although it is rising at home, it is falling internationally. 

  Domestic gold prices have risen strongly. In the previous period, the gold futures rose from 453 yuan per gram in mid-August to 480 yuan per gram on September 15th, which is a record high since the gold contract was listed for 13 years. During the year, Shanghai gold futures rose by 15%, which also set the best annual performance in 2019. In the physical gold market, the price of gold has exceeded that of 600 yuan per gram. 

  One reason for this price deviation is the exchange rate. In the gold trading market, the domestic gold price is quoted in RMB, while the international gold price is quoted in USD. Changes in the exchange rate between RMB and USD will also make the trend of domestic gold price and international gold price different. As the Federal Reserve keeps raising interest rates, the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar has been in a depreciation channel, which leads to a greater upward trend of domestic gold prices. For example, when the international gold price is 1900 USD/oz, and the exchange rate of USD to RMB is 1:7, then each gram of gold is about 428 RMB. But if the exchange rate between the US dollar and RMB is 1:7.3, each gram of gold will rise to about 446 yuan. Therefore, this can also explain the deviation of international and domestic gold prices. 

  Another reason is that China has recently imposed some restrictions on the import of precious metals, and the domestic supply of gold is limited. Data show that China’s net import volume in July was 25.769 tons, lower than that in June, which was 34.648 tons. The total amount of gold imported through Hong Kong decreased by 21% to 30.239 tons. The reason for this may be related to domestic economic regulation and foreign exchange reserve management. Restricting the import of gold can better control the outflow of foreign exchange and help stabilize the value of RMB. 

  This means that the domestic gold market price is a policy city, which is greatly influenced by the policy. On the one hand, the policy follows the market and has its objective laws, but on the other hand, it also means that if the policy ends, the domestic gold price may withdraw sharply. 

  Young people are keen on social public opinion, but lack knowledge. Nowadays, most of the public opinions that young people are exposed to are lack of depth and analysis of key details, and most of them are directed at emotions and panic. Young people’s ideological background, few modern economic and financial knowledge framework. Therefore, it is easy to go with the flow. The upsurge of buying Jin Doudou has also become a microcosm of the lack of cognition.

The Historical Evolution and Folk Inheritance of the Spring Festival

    Year is a sign of time and embodies the rhythm of life. This tradition has lasted for at least 3,000 years in China.

    In ancient times, the Spring Festival was called the first day of the year, Zhengdan, Yuanri, etc., and the first day of the first month was called the Spring Festival only after the founding of the Republic of China. As the first year of the New Year, the Spring Festival has gone through at least 3,000 years in China. Its emergence is directly related to the formation of the concept of ancient calendar years. Of course, in essence, it is rooted in the time feeling and time consciousness of ancient ancestors.

    The ancients took astronomy, phenology and personnel activities as important references for time changes, and the concept of time cycle of years should have been mastered by people before Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. "Er Ya Shi Tian" has "Xia Yue Sui, Shang Yue Si, Zhou Yue Nian, Tang Yu Yue Zai." The Tang Yu era was probably the late Neolithic Age, when the year was called "Zai", which meant the movement and change of time. In the first year of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty (the first 104 years), the first month of the summer calendar was officially determined as the beginning of the year. Since then, although the calendar has been constantly revised, the beginning time of the first month has not changed, and the annual festival has been fixed. Year 2008 is the time symbol of agricultural society, which embodies the rhythm of farmers’ life. This tradition has lasted for 3,000 years in China.

    During the Qin and Han Dynasties, China society gradually broke away from the influence of early primitive religious beliefs, people’s concept of "Year of the Year" changed fundamentally, and their time habit of obeying the natural lunar calendar changed gradually, and the coordination between festivals and social life at the age of the Year was concerned. As the first year of the Spring Festival, the social significance is obvious after the Qin and Han Dynasties. The court regards the first year of the Spring Festival as an opportunity to show and strengthen the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, while the people regard it as a good time for family gatherings in the countryside.

    Before the Qin dynasty to Hanzhong period, the beginning of the year was in October of the summer calendar, and the first day of October was the New Year. After the mid-Han Dynasty, the first year of the year fell on the first day of the first month, which was called the first month of Dan, Zhengdan and so on. The first lunar month is an important celebration day for the royal family in the Han Dynasty, and the court will hold a large-scale court meeting. Under the influence of the imperial court, the folks in the Han Dynasty moved the folk activities of the New Year Festival from the traditional La Ri and La Tomorrow to the "Zhengri" on the first day of the first month. The Four People’s Moon Order records the sacrificial ceremony and celebration activities of the people in the Eastern Han Dynasty. First of all, offering sacrifices to ancestors and respecting elders are the main contents of the etiquette of the Han Dynasty. The whole family, big or small, sat in front of the ancestral tablets in order of rank, and the family members toasted their parents in turn with joy. Secondly, pay tribute to the clansmen and relatives of the township party. After the celebration ceremony of family sacrifice on Sunday, people go out to pay their respects to their relatives and neighbors, and use the opportunity of the festival to communicate with them. The tradition of paying New Year’s greetings in the first month of the later generations developed from the custom of paying tribute to the New Year on the right day of the Han Dynasty.

    During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was still a grand ceremony of the imperial court to congratulate people at the beginning of the year, but in the folk, people crowed in the Yuan Dynasty, first set off firecrackers in front of the gate, "to rid the mountain of evil spirits", and then the whole family dressed neatly and paid homage to their elders in turn. Since the Tang Dynasty, the Spring Festival has enjoyed a government statutory holiday, with seven days off, three days before the year and three days after the year. As usual, the imperial court held the ceremony of the early dynasty, while the people got together and held a banquet to celebrate.

    In Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the Spring Festival is called Yuan Day or New Year’s Day and New Year’s Day. Zhengdan Chaohui ceremony is still an important royal ceremony. As a national ceremony, the Emperor’s Zhengdan Chaohui is grand and spectacular, and it is an important part of national time politics. The grand celebration of the DPRK shows the peace of the country internally and the national prestige of the Chinese empire externally. At the same time, the official also took the opportunity of watching festival lights and enjoying acrobatic performances to show the attitude of sharing happiness with the people in order to harmonious society.

    For example, in the Northern Song Dynasty, "On the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, Kaifeng House was closed for three days", that is, gambling was banned for three days and people were allowed to entertain. In the Ming Dynasty, the folk Spring Festival in Beijing was more lively and interesting. When the family started on the morning of New Year’s Day, they led their wives to worship the heavens and the earth, worship their ancestors, cook jiaozi and celebrate the longevity of their elders.

    On January 1, 1912, after Sun Yat-sen took office as interim president in Nanjing, he introduced the western calendar, taking the Gregorian calendar as the standard year. At this time, official festivals were separated from traditional folk festivals, and two calendar systems appeared in China. One was the official western solar calendar system, which was used as the time standard for public administration and international communication. One is the calendar system of Yin and Yang in traditional society, which people are used to, serving agricultural time and daily social life. In January, 1914, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Beijing government put forward in its submission that "it is proposed to designate Lunar New Year’s Day as the Spring Festival" and it was approved. As a result, the traditional lunar new year’s eve was officially renamed as "Spring Festival", and the traditional New Year’s Day and New Year’s names were placed on January 1 of the Gregorian calendar.

    At one time, the government of the Republic of China was not satisfied with the existence of the dual calendar structure, trying to use the Gregorian calendar in a unified way, and all the traditional festivals and customs were moved to the new calendar system to celebrate the Gregorian New Year’s Day, but the Lunar New Year. But the effect of doing so is not ideal. At the beginning of 1934, the government stopped the compulsory abolition of the lunar calendar, and had to admit that "folk customs should not interfere too much with the old calendar year, except for public institutions." The folks can celebrate the Lunar New Year again.

    When New China was founded in 1949, it inherited the tradition of 1911 and adopted the calendar method of A.D. Chronology, but paid special attention to the traditional festivals, and stipulated the legal holidays such as New Year’s Day, Spring Festival, Labor Day and National Day and their holiday dates. Since then, "Spring Festival" has become the name of the Chinese New Year in the whole society.

    The Spring Festival is at the turning point of the annual cycle and the four seasons cycle. With the pace of the Spring Festival, it is like unfolding a long scroll of old customs.

    The Spring Festival is a China festival with the longest history, the widest geographical spread and the largest number of festivals. It is truly the first festival of the Chinese nation and a major festival with world influence. The Spring Festival is at the turning point of the annual cycle and the four seasons cycle. Its festivals are rich and vivid, full of the beauty of human ethics, emotion, art and wisdom. In order to fully present the face of the traditional Spring Festival, we are following the footsteps of Chinese’s Spring Festival, and in accordance with the order of festivals, we are gradually launching a long scroll of annual customs. Let’s take a look at the custom of sending the old year.

    1. "Laba porridge"

    The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is called Laba Festival. Laba Festival is a prelude to the New Year Festival. North China ballad sings well: "Wife, wife, don’t be greedy, it’s New Year after Laba." After Laba, it means entering the festival stage. On Laba Day, people want to eat seasonal Laba porridge.

    There are various legends about the origin of Laba porridge, and the most influential one is to commemorate the Buddha’s enlightenment. Legend has it that Buddha Sakyamuni fainted one day because of fatigue. Fortunately, a shepherdess cooked mixed rice and spring water with her to make porridge for him to eat. For this reason, Buddhist disciples cooked Laba porridge on the eighth day of Laba and distributed it to the poor to satisfy their hunger and keep out the cold, as a sign of great mercy. Therefore, Laba porridge is also called "Buddha porridge".

    Of course, eating porridge in Laba is not only influenced by Buddhism. In fact, in ancient China, there was a custom of offering sacrifices to gods with red bean porridge on the winter solstice. In fact, the ingredients of Laba porridge all have folk meanings, which are homophonic: longan symbolizes wealth and reunion, lily symbolizes Pepsi and harmony, red dates and peanuts symbolize early birth, lotus plums symbolize love and heart-to-heart, walnuts symbolize harmony and beauty, and preserved oranges and chestnuts symbolize good luck, etc. People look forward to a better life in the future.

    2. Send the kitchen god in the next year

    After Laba is off-year, off-year is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month in the north and the 24th of the twelfth lunar month in the south. Folk songs such as "Twenty-three, Sweet Melon Sticks" and "Twenty-three, king of people" all talk about offering sacrifices to stoves, which is an important festival custom in traditional off-year years. The Kitchen God, commonly known as the Kitchen God, the Kitchen God and the Kitchen Master, is a special deity worshipped by the people in China during the New Year Festival. The name of Kitchen God appeared in the Warring States Period. After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Kitchen God became the eyes and ears of the gods to monitor the lower world. It stayed in people’s homes, lived with the people day and night, and monitored every move of the people. It is inevitable that people will bump into each other in their daily lives. People are worried that Kitchen God will make a small report, so they befriend it, commonly known as "Mei Zao". Flattery to the gods is a common manifestation of folk beliefs, but it is more vivid and interesting in the sacrifice to the kitchen god. For example, smearing the stove door with distiller’s grains is called "drunken life"; Provide kitchen candy to the kitchen god, and pray and pray: "Sweet and spicy, the kitchen god is mo Yan". This kind of candy with high viscosity not only sticks to the mouth of the kitchen god, but also sweetens his heart.

    Step 3 sweep the dust

    "Twenty-four, dust." When the Kitchen God is sent away, people should clean and wash and welcome the New Year. Since the kitchen god went to heaven on the 23 rd and 24 th of the twelfth lunar month, "the custom is called all is forgiven." Usually, people are cautious about cleaning the house for fear of offending the gods. Now they have sent away the kitchen god who lives at home, and people have been given the opportunity to clean at will.

    Dusting is one of the passing ceremonies of eliminating the old and welcoming the new at the end of the year, and it is also a time-space purification ceremony at the end of the year. People try their best to clean up the upper and lower parts of the house, the corners of the walls and the top and bottom of the cabinets. Although cleaning the house is an actual hygienic behavior, it is a necessary space purification activity before the start of sacrificial activities in ancient people’s lives, which has symbolic significance of cleaning and purifying human settlements.

    4. Prepare food for the New Year.

    After offering sacrifices to the stove, people entered the stage of preparing food for the New Year’s Festival in the folk song of "Twenty-five, grinding bean curd". Of course, the New Year’s food is not only tofu, but also the abundance of food is a typical feature of the New Year. As the saying goes, "Adults look forward to farming, while children look forward to the New Year". Because there are many rare foods and entertainments in the New Year Festival. Festival food can best reflect the unity and locality of folk customs.

    The traditional food shared by the whole country in New Year’s Day is rice cake. Eating rice cake in the New Year means getting higher every year, and praying for better every year. Shandong New Year steamed cake is the most typical example: it is steamed from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month to the end of the twelfth lunar month, and the steamed food is eaten until February 2, which is a good family. Jiaozi is an important food for the Spring Festival in the north. As the saying goes, "If you are poor, you will be rich, but you will not eat jiaozi.". Jiaozi food was also prepared years ago. Of course, meat is the most important food in Chinese New Year, and there must be meat in Chinese New Year.

    5. Body Cleanliness: "Cleaning up the Sickness" and Shaving the Year

    After busy preparing food for the New Year, people began to bathe and fast to welcome the New Year. Bathing to remove filth is one of the main customs of the old New Year’s Day. In the New Year’s Festival transition ceremony, in order to turn the transition time into a special purification stage, people not only purify time and space by exorcising evil spirits and sending gods, but also the human body itself needs to be cleaned to get rid of the old and welcome the new. People in Hefeng, western Hubei province "bathe" in the sun, which is called "washing the dust every other year" and "washing sloppy". Tujia people wash all their quilts and clothes on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and the whole family, old and young, take a bath with mugwort. People in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province take a bath on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, which is called "washing Fulu", and take a bath on the 27th day and night, which means "washing chirping and weeding".

    The cleaning behavior of human body at the end of the year is a necessary ceremony. In addition to bathing, there is also shaving the year. As the saying goes, "If you have money, shave your head for the New Year". At the end of the year, we must shave the new year and clean the New Year.

    6. Decorate the door: window grilles, New Year pictures, peach symbols and Spring Festival couplets.

    After cleaning and bathing, people will decorate the door, the so-called "twenty-eight, decals." Decals, including Spring Festival couplets, doornotes, New Year pictures, paper-cut window grilles, etc.

    Let’s talk about the door god first. The earliest door god was a puppet carved from peach wood, which appeared in the pre-Qin period. The door gods in Han Dynasty have evolved into two figures, their names are shentu and Yu Lei. Legend has it that shentu and Yu Lei are two brothers who are responsible for catching evil spirits that harm the world. Door gods are increasing in future generations, mainly including Zhong Kui, Qin Shubao and Wei Chijingde.

    Door-keeper painting is a picture with the image of the door-keeper. Later, the theme of the painting was expanded and it became a New Year picture that decorated the house and added joy during the New Year Festival. In ancient paintings of door gods, deer, happiness, BMW, bottles, saddles and other symbols were often painted. New Year pictures have a wide range of themes, with festive and auspicious as their themes, such as surplus in successive years, happy ever after, the blessing of the immortals, and making a fortune.

    Peach boards, peach symbols and Spring Festival couplets, which generally appeared later, are important decorations at the New Year’s gate. Before the Song Dynasty, there was a peach symbol hanging at the door, which was written with the words to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings. The peach symbol was replaced once a year. Everyone may be familiar with this poem: the sound of firecrackers is one year old, and the spring breeze sends warmth into Tu Su, and thousands of families? ? Day, always change the new peach for the old one. With the change of the times, people want to express more and more wishes, and the words on the peach symbols are longer and longer, gradually forming a neat auspicious couplet. So the Spring Festival couplets, a new year’s door decoration, appeared. Although the Spring Festival couplets originated in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, it should be in the Ming and Qing Dynasties that couplets were written on paper to popularize society.

    Next, let’s talk about the custom of Chinese New Year.

    1. New Year’s Eve dinner

    The New Year’s Eve dinner originated from the ancient year-end ritual. With the development of the family society, the polytheistic sacrifice gradually evolved into the ritual of the twelfth lunar month, which mainly offered sacrifices to ancestors. Chinese’s New Year’s Eve dinner is a family reunion dinner. This is the most abundant dinner in a year, which is a dinner for people and gods.

    Traditional New Year’s Eve dinner, dishes full of meaning. For example, Suzhou people’s New Year’s Eve dinner is commonly known as "family fun", and there is a dish called Anle dish-made of air-dried eggplant stalks mixed with other fruits and vegetables. When people eat New Year’s Eve, they must eat this product first for good luck. There are two indispensable dishes for the New Year’s Eve dinner in southern China. First, there is a fish with a complete head and tail, which symbolizes that there is more than one year; The second is meatballs, commonly known as mariko in the south, which symbolizes round and round. There must be water chestnuts in the traditional Peking man’s New Year’s Eve dinner, which is homophonic "must be neat", that is, the family must be neat.

    Of course, there are regional differences between the North and the South. In addition to dishes, the South wants to eat Ciba or rice cakes, while the North generally eats jiaozi. Jiaozi originated in China very early, and it can become the symbol food of the Northern New Year. On the one hand, jiaozi itself is delicious, on the other hand, jiaozi is a symbol of time change. In folk customs, the time of the old and new years alternate at midnight, and on the occasion of the alternation of New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Eve, the whole family eats jiaozi to celebrate the new year. In addition, in order to spice up the holiday life, some places also add candy, peanuts, dates and even coins when wrapping jiaozi. Whoever eats jiaozi with what stuffing will get a good omen. Eating candy indicates that life is as sweet as honey; Those who eat peanuts mean immortality; Eating dates means getting children early; Those who eat coins naturally have good fortune in the New Year.

    2. lucky money

    After dinner on New Year’s Eve, the elders should give the younger generation lucky money to wish the younger generation a safe New Year. Lucky money is the most anticipated gift for children in the New Year. Legend has it that lucky money originated earlier, but it really became popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are two kinds of lucky money: special money and general money. The special lucky money is an imitation. Its material is copper or iron, and its shape is square or long. Generally, the money is engraved with "good luck", "happiness in life" and "long life".

    During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, money in circulation was usually used as lucky money. This kind of lucky money is given directly to the younger generation, and some are placed at the foot of the bed or beside the pillow after the younger generation sleeps. The lucky money was originally meant to be a blessing, but the use of circulating money to make children old brought the joy of independent consumption to children. This situation is probably a new phenomenon after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which opened the trend that the lucky money changed from a belief function to a holiday economic function. After the Republic of China, all money shops issued special red paper change tickets at the end of the year in case people spent money on lucky money. At that time, it was also popular to wrap 100 copper coins in red paper, which meant "long life"; Give the lucky money to the adult junior, and the red paper is wrapped in an ocean, symbolizing "abundant financial resources" and "a million profits". After using modern paper banknotes, parents like to choose new banknotes with connected numbers, which indicates that future generations will "get rich again and again" and "get promoted again and again".

    Step 3: keep your age

    After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the whole family sat around the stove, chatting about the future and talking about the land until the dawn of the fifth watch to usher in the new year. On New Year’s Eve, people wait for the arrival of the new year in the form of staying up all night, which is called "keeping the old year".

    The custom of observing the age has a history of nearly two thousand years in China, and the purpose of observing the age is to pray for a long life. Because it stays up all night, people have to sit up, so it is called "endure the year" in the northern proverb. In order to prevent people from sleeping on New Year’s Eve, people also formed a taboo, saying that if they sleep that night, they will be in poor health the next year. Keeping the age is to strengthen the body and prolong life. In ancient times, observing the age was an important way to pray for parents or the elderly, so most people insisted on observing the age. Since ancient times, people have always regarded observing the old age as an important process to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Watching the new year is a farewell to the old year and a watch for the new year.

    The folk custom of keeping the old age is mainly manifested in the fact that the lights stay on all night on New Year’s Eve. The fire of Nian originated from the need of exorcism in ancient times: there was a folk saying that there was a monster named Nian who often came out to eat people on New Year’s Eve. Because Nian animals are afraid of red lights, people hang red lanterns at the door and light red flames in the courtyard, thus ensuring the safety of their families. This folklore expresses people’s feelings of tension and instability in the time change, so people drive away the darkness with lively lights and welcome the arrival of the new year dawn. On New Year’s Eve, besides the New Year’s fire, there is also the custom of "burning lights to shine on the New Year", that is, burning lights and candles all over the New Year’s Eve. On New Year’s Eve in the Ming Dynasty, all houses were lit with candles, and candles were specially lit at the bottom of the bed, which was called "wasting". It was said that after this, the wealth at home would be enriched in the coming year.

    Let me talk about the custom of welcoming the new year.

    In ancient society, people waited for cock crow to tell time. The cock crow on the first day of the first month is especially meaningful, it calls for the arrival of the new year. Of course, with the change of modern China’s timing means, people have set the landmark of old and new time at midnight.

    1. "One-year-old in firecrackers"

    With the New Year’s Eve, there are firecrackers and fireworks. On the day of seeing off the old and welcoming the new, people enjoy setting off fireworks and firecrackers.

    New Year’s firecrackers originated from primitive religious beliefs, which people use to exorcise evil spirits and pray for blessings. Folklore believes that firecrackers and other sounds can drive away ghosts and evil spirits. The Chronicle of the Age of Jingchu, which was written in the middle of the 6th century AD, has recorded that on the first day of the first month, "the cock crows before the court" to drive away the mountain monsters and evil spirits. At that time, it was really a firecracker. The method was to barbecue the bamboo tube in the fire. The bamboo tube was heated and expanded, and finally it exploded. Until the Tang and Song Dynasties, this kind of firecracker was still used. Fan Chengda, a Song Dynasty poet, wrote a story about the firecrackers in Wudi at that time. In addition to the traditional natural firecrackers, gunpowder firecrackers also appeared in the Song Dynasty. This kind of gunpowder firecracker not only has thunderbolt, but also has smoke. The smoke emitted by firecrackers has the effect of killing germs in the air, so people often set off firecrackers when the plague occurs.

    During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, gunpowder and firecrackers became more popular. People not only used firecrackers to drive away exorcises, but also used them to send gods, greet them and receive New Year visitors. The sound of firecrackers adds to the festive atmosphere. On New Year’s Eve in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty, "the sound of firecrackers was like thunder and thunder, all over the ruling and opposition parties". In Suzhou for the New Year, gongs and drums beat and the streets heard each other. When giving gifts to the gods, we should put more firecrackers, which are known as single-sounding, double-sounding, and one-book-winning. There is also a kind of whip with hundreds of small explosions, which makes a lot of noise and is called "Baowang Whip".

    In modern times, firecrackers in rural areas during the Spring Festival are a must-have item. If there is no firecrackers during the Spring Festival, people will feel empty. Today, when the New Year bell of CCTV Spring Festival Gala rings at midnight on New Year’s Eve, the whole country is in a state of uproar, with fireworks flying and firecrackers ringing all over the country. Chinese, which has always been reserved, is now integrated into the carnival world.

    2. Sacrifice to Heaven and Earth and Ancestors

    People greeted the New Year with firecrackers resounding through the sky, and the gods who reported the old year back to heaven returned to earth with a new mission. In order to welcome the new god, various families set up incense tables and made pious sacrifices. In the New Year, it is a tradition that existed in the Han Dynasty, which has been followed by the people. In the New Year, people welcome back the gods, and the arrival of the gods means that the annual time will return to the daily world where people and gods coexist.

    Ancestor sacrifice is the most important family sacrifice in the Spring Festival. Ancestor sacrifices are frequently recorded in the Book of Rites, such as "drinking heavily?" It is the ancestral sacrifice gift of the ancestral temple at the end of the year. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to the revival of patriarchal clan system, ancestor worship became an important part of the New Year ceremony again. Since the Republic of China, people still keep the habit of offering sacrifices to their ancestors during the Spring Festival. Generally, ancestral tablets are set in family halls. Before people eat the reunion dinner, parents should invite their ancestors home for the reunion dinner in turn. After the ancestors enjoy it, their families will eat at the table.

    It is this year after year of ritual reunion that strengthens the family’s sense of cohesion and ensures the continuity of the family. As the basic unit of society, the family is also the basic unit of cultural inheritance. The long-standing inheritance of China civilization has a certain internal relationship with the extension of China family society.

    3. Wear new clothes and pay New Year greetings

    It is a custom in Han Dynasty to greet the New Year with fresh and clean clothes. There is a folk song in the north: candied melons offer sacrifices to the stove. When the New Year comes, the girl wants flowers, the boy wants firecrackers, the old woman wants to eat new rice cakes, and the old man wants to wear a new fedora.

    In the folk society, the new clean clothing is not only the beauty of the New Year’s Day, but also has divine significance. The new clothing is to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters. After passing the threshold of the old year, people get a new life. Wearing new clothes and hats symbolizes that people have entered a new life journey. This new dress of the body and the new decoration of the portal both reflect Chinese’s awareness of attaching importance to the time renewal of the New Year.

    After welcoming the new year in the morning, it is followed by the New Year and the New Year. The order is home first, then outside. In the Ming Dynasty, New Year greetings in Beijing prevailed in the ruling and opposition circles. At that time, there were two forms of New Year greetings:

    One is to meet and bow down. If people meet relatives and friends on the road, they will also get off the bus and kowtow to pay New Year greetings on the road. Another kind of New Year greeting is a false form of etiquette. In the mid-Ming Dynasty, there was a custom of "looking at the door and posting posts" in the capital, and some courtiers paid attention to etiquette, such as Chang ‘an Avenue in the east and west, where courtiers lived the most. At this point, people don’t ask about knowledge and ignorance, but look at the door and post.

    In the old days, New Year greetings emphasized family relations, and the process of New Year greetings was the process of strengthening family relations. He clan in Dongxiang Road, Jiangxi Province holds a group worship every year on the first day of the first month. Group worship is not limited to one clan, but is carried out throughout the He clan in Henglu. The group worship is progressive according to the ethical order of the young and the old recorded in the genealogy, that is, the younger generation pays New Year greetings to the elders, and the small room pays New Year greetings to the big room. The order of generations cannot be changed. Until today, rural cities still maintain the traditional custom of celebrating the New Year, and there is still the habit of bowing down in local villages in Shandong and Hebei.

    Step 4 pick up the god of wealth

    When the new year comes, it means the arrival of the new god of wealth. There are many incarnations of the God of Wealth. From the perspective of folk beliefs, there are the God of Wealth, Wu Caishen, Five-way God of Wealth, Qinglong God of Wealth and so on.

    From New Year pictures and temple clay sculptures, we can often see the image of the god of wealth, dressed as a civil servant, and it is said that he is the leader of the Shang Dynasty. Bigan was a loyal minister. His heart was dug by Shang Zhouwang, but he survived because he ate the panacea that Jiang Ziya gave him. He spreads his wealth widely among the people, because without his heart, he is unbiased. Another god of wealth is Fan Li. Fan Li is a master of management. He amassed wealth three times and dispersed it three times. His genius of getting rich and his quality of attaching importance to righteousness have won people’s admiration.

    Look at Wu Caishen. Marshal Zhao Gong of Wu Shen is a household name. Marshal Zhao Gong is a Taoist figure with a good name and a clear word. The Emperor of Heaven named him "Marshal Zhao of Zhengyi Xuantan", and he was in charge of the lucky messenger and Lishi Xian Guan. Another Wu Caishen was Guan Gong, who was given various titles by emperors of past dynasties because of his loyalty and bravery. Influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, people regard Guan Yu as the embodiment of loyalty, especially some industrial and commercial organizations in modern times regard Guan Gong as the patron saint and god of wealth of the industry.

    The belief in the five-way god of wealth is mainly circulated in the south. The so-called five roads refer to the five roads in the east, west, north and south. The five-way god is also a walking god, that is, going out five ways is the way to get rich. If you don’t come, you will run around and get it. Commercial trade depends on traffic, and the convenience and safety of traffic depend on the protection of the god of the road, the walking god. The traditional worship of walking gods has evolved into the god of wealth under the background of the development of commercial economy. In Shandong and Zhejiang, the custom of taking Qinglong as the god of wealth is still popular. Most of the folk pictures of the dragon god of wealth are flying around the dragon, and the two immortals are on both sides of the dragon god of wealth. In front is the cornucopia, and Qinglongkou is swallowing jewels.

    "Greeting the God of Wealth" and "Receiving the God of Wealth" are important sacrificial contents in the Spring Festival, usually from the first day of the first month to the fifth day of the first month. During this period, when people meet, they say "Congratulations on making a fortune" and "making a fortune" becomes the most active vocabulary at the beginning of the year.

    Finally, by the way, I want to talk about "Lantern Festival" on the fifteenth day of the first month.

    If the New Year is a folk drama with the participation of the whole people, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month is the finale of this drama.

    Lantern Festival is a typical festival custom, so it is also called "Lantern Festival". The Lantern Festival began to flourish in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Every year, Yang Guang, Emperor Yangdi, held a grand Lantern Festival in Luoyang, the capital city, to entertain foreign messengers and to boast about the wealth of China. Lantern Festival was even more popular in the Tang Dynasty. In order to enjoy the whole country, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty extended the lantern festival on the fifteenth and eleventh nights of the first month to three nights, and stipulated that the official family would have a three-day holiday on the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth of the first month. In order to enjoy the lanterns all night, the usual curfew was cancelled during the festival, which is called "Jin Wu can’t help it". City life in Song Dynasty further developed, and Lantern Festival lights became more prosperous. In the Ming Dynasty, the Song system was fully revived, and the Lantern Festival custom was extended to ten days in Yongle period. From the eleventh day of the first month, officials in Beijing had a ten-day holiday.

    Another custom of Lantern Festival is to eat Yuanxiao. Yuanxiao is a seasonal food, and it became fashionable to eat Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first month in Ming and Qing Dynasties. After the ninth day of the Ming Dynasty, the capital city began to eat Yuanxiao, which is made of glutinous rice powder, round, filled with walnut kernel and white sugar, as big as walnuts, and is called "dumpling" in Jiangnan. In the Qing Dynasty, Suzhou people called it Mariko, and Hangzhou people called it "Lantern Mariko". After offering sacrifices to ancestors, family members and fellow villagers enjoy the dumplings together to get the meaning of reunion.

    "Men and women playing" is a special cultural landscape of Yuanxiao. Lantern Festival in the first month is the only "carnival" festival in a year. At this stage, people break the daily order constraints and go out of their homes one after another, going to the theatre, visiting lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns, walking away from all diseases and making trouble at night. Even women who hide their boudoir on weekdays have a rare opportunity to travel. Some people say that Lantern Festival is the ancient Valentine’s Day in China, which seems to have some truth. Today’s urban public life needs a public festival like Lantern Festival, which can have collective activities of watching the lights and enjoying the moon and folk customs, and carry out square-style community gatherings. Through the common festival customs, the public’s awareness and responsibility of public cultural space will be enhanced, so as to cultivate the spiritual tradition of community sharing.

The government thinks more and enterprises worry less.

  [New Era, New Weather and New Action]

  The number of provincial-level administrative examination and approval items has been reduced from 1,495 to 474, and the proportion of internal organs of government agencies has been reduced by no less than 20%. "Internet+government services" has reduced the time for people to do things by 24%, and complaints from enterprises have been "promptly answered" … … This is the scene that the reporter saw in Hebei Province recently. Hebei province stimulates market multiplication by power subtraction and service addition, and constantly innovates in the transformation of government functions.

  The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes to transform government functions, deepen decentralization, innovate supervision methods, enhance government credibility and execution, and build a service-oriented government that people are satisfied with. In recent years, Hebei Province insists on improving the business environment as an important starting point to promote economic transformation and upgrading, and continues to deepen the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform, effectively stimulating market vitality and social creativity.

  "Wings of Birds" Helps Market Prosperity

  On the morning of December 8, Li Suduan, a citizen of Shijiazhuang who had just finished his business, happily showed his business license to reporters in the service hall of Shijiazhuang Administrative Examination and Approval Bureau. In another week, her company can officially open.

  "In the past, it was very troublesome for enterprises to apply for permits, filling out various forms, and saying that this was unqualified was unqualified. I didn’t expect it to be so fast now. The materials submitted the day before yesterday got the business license today. " Li Suduan opens the "Handheld Application" APP on his mobile phone, which is an exploration of "internet plus" in Shijiazhuang’s government service. You can APPly for a business license by uploading the electronic information to the app. "As long as I bring my ID card to the examination and approval bureau, and then sign my name on my mobile phone several times, I will get my business license."

  The convenience that Li Suduan feels comes not only from "Internet+government services", but also from "integration of multiple certificates" and "reduction of certificates" to promote "simple administration". Since 2014, Shijiazhuang has implemented the "three certificates in one" on a pilot basis. After continuous integration, it has reached the "twenty-six certificates in one". At the end of February 2017, Shijiazhuang City Administrative Examination and Approval Bureau was established, and hundreds of administrative examination and approval items in the city were placed under the unified management of the bureau. "All integrated licenses will no longer be issued, with ‘ Reduce the certificate ’ Promote ‘ Simple administration ’ It is more convenient for enterprises to apply for certificates. " Li Peng, Director of Enterprise Registration Department of Shijiazhuang Administrative Examination and Approval Bureau, said.

  "In the past, enterprises had to submit more than 20 kinds of materials and run more than 20 departments. Now you only need to submit a set of materials to the administrative examination and approval bureau, and the relevant filing and registration can be completed. " Han Yakun, window clerk of Shijiazhuang Administrative Examination and Approval Bureau, showed the reporter the integrated catalogue of 26 license items, involving more than 20 departments such as Tourism Commission, Transportation Bureau, Forestry Bureau and Wenguang New Bureau. “‘ Integration of multiple certificates ’ Its essence is information sharing and intercommunication among departments. We have set up a joint meeting mechanism of various departments, and strive to integrate all the licenses required for the establishment of enterprises, so that information can run more and people can run less errands. "

  Broadening the scope of enterprises is the first step of market prosperity, and strengthening supervision and building a new law enforcement system are also the top priorities of market prosperity and order. On December 11th, in Shijiazhuang Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Zhao Junguo, director of the Credit Construction Division of the Bureau, showed the reporter the "Hebei Double Random and Double Informing Integrated System" in the computer. The system implements hierarchical management of inspection objects and law enforcement personnel, formulates a double random spot check plan, and carries out cross-departmental joint spot checks.

  Lu Shuanzeng, deputy director of Shijiazhuang Industrial and Commercial Bureau, told the reporter that in the past, there were some drawbacks in the supervision of market entities by various departments, such as arbitrary law enforcement, willful law enforcement and selective law enforcement. Since the implementation of "double random and one open", due to the traceability of the inspection process, the fairness and justice of supervision and law enforcement have been guaranteed, and cross-departmental joint spot checks have also achieved a new situation of collaborative supervision. The number of inspections is reduced, and the burden on enterprises is greatly reduced. “‘ Double Random and One Open ’ Gradually lead the society to the construction of a credit system, rely on credit to supervise and rely on society to govern together. " Lu Zengzeng said.

  Like Shijiazhuang, the administrative examination and approval bureaus of 9 cities and 110 counties (cities, districts) in Hebei Province have been formally established and put into operation. Moreover, the province has also promoted the reform of the publicity system of administrative law enforcement, the record system of the whole process of administrative law enforcement, and the legal review system of major law enforcement decisions to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises. Forgiveness and strictness are compared to "the wings of a bird" by the local people. With the help of this "bird’s wings", the business environment in Shijiazhuang has been greatly improved, and the total number of market players has increased from 380,000 at the end of 2013 to about 805,000 at present.

  Do a good job of service and attract "flowing water from the source"

  It is necessary to let enterprises enjoy efficiency and convenience, but also let them feel respect and recognition. In recent years, Hebei Province has changed its work style and built a new type of relationship between government and business, so that market participants have a real sense of gain. This can be seen from Xingtai City, where investment attraction is in full swing and development is constantly attracting "flowing water from the source".

  From Xingtai East Station in high-speed railway station, the most striking thing is a big sign with the names of the top 100 taxpayers in Xingtai. Behind this small move is great sincerity. "We have also included the top 100 taxpayers and legal representatives in Xingtai Yearbook to enhance the whole society’s sense of identity with entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship." Hao Lishuang, deputy director of Xingtai Investment Promotion Bureau, told reporters.

  Of course, in order for enterprises to have more sense of acquisition and belonging, we must finally do a good job in service. Xingtai City adheres to the principle of "enterprises do things inside the wall and the government does things outside the wall", transforming government functions and optimizing the business environment. In order to be a good "nanny" for enterprises, they set up key enterprise service offices, and established a weekly visit system, a monthly meeting system, and a communication and coordination system for running into the province. Since the beginning of this year, we have solved 28 difficult problems such as land index, power supply and heating, and capital for 12 local enterprises such as Chaowei Battery and Yufeng Group, and won the trust of enterprises.

  In this regard, Hao Lailong, the main person in charge of the Jingding Murad Biotechnology Industrial Park project in Julu County, Xingtai City, was deeply touched. This is a foreign investment project, which introduces the technology of Dr. Murad, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. "Xingtai China Merchants Bureau set up an investment project team to actively guide and help us with various preliminary procedures. Knowing that there is a lack of technical talents after the completion of the project, they actively promote the technical docking between famous universities at home and abroad, set up Industry-University-Research base, set up practical teaching and employment bases in local universities in enterprises, and introduce professional and technical personnel. " Hao Lailong said.

  In Linxi County, Xingtai City, you can hear similar words. "When we first came to the west, we had no place to live and rent a house, so they gave us a free intermediary; Help us apply for a temporary residence permit, apply for a driver’s license, and conduct annual inspection of vehicles … …” Wang Jian, head of Linxi Edible Fungi Project of Shanghai Guangming Group, said.

  Speaking of this edible fungus project, there is another story. In 2014, Shanghai Guangming Group wanted to select a site in the north to expand the production capacity of edible fungi. There are many professional mushroom growers in Shangu Village, Dongliu County, Linxi County, and they are trying to become bigger and stronger. Lv Tingxiang, secretary of the village Party Committee, went to Shanghai to "seek relatives" in person after receiving the news. At that time, knowing that a senior leader of Guangming Group was attending an art exhibition, he rushed to the scene and opened the topic with a book "The Story of Lv Yulan" that he carried with him. Lv Yulan is a national model worker who went out from Dongliu Shangu Village. He was famous all over the country that year, and this business leader has always admired Lv Yulan. As a result, Guangming Group began to pay attention to Linxi, and Linxi invited the enterprise to do field trips many times, which finally contributed to the project landing.

  Lv Tingxiang is one of countless "N" in Xingtai’s investment promotion system. Xingtai City has built a new investment promotion system of "1+4+21+N", in which "1" refers to the leading group for introducing major investment promotion projects in Xingtai City, with the secretary of the municipal party committee as the general manager and the mayor as the team leader; "4" refers to the establishment of four professional investment promotion departments in relevant departments; "21" refers to 21 counties and cities; and "N" refers to the establishment of "investment promotion teams" at the grassroots level in various towns and villages, and finally forms a three-dimensional and comprehensive investment promotion team.

  They also set up an investment promotion working group on WeChat, and the investment promotion directors of counties and districts joined the group to share investment promotion information, connect resources and exchange investment promotion experience. "Some good projects are of great interest to all counties. We discuss them in groups and jointly decide where to put them according to the industrial characteristics and environment of each place, so as to attract investment accurately." Hao Lishuang said.

  Solving the demands of the masses with "a wave of inspiration"

  In order for enterprises to introduce and stay, and to make people live a more comfortable life, we must listen to their voices and be "responsive, reasonable and fruitful". In view of the problem that enterprises and the masses have no access to complaints, Hebei Province has integrated various service hotlines and launched 961890 mass service hotlines in various cities, establishing an unobstructed complaint consultation channel. In Handan, this homophonic service hotline has been almost exploded recently.

  "We are going to carry out the construction and renovation of the staff canteen. How should we go through the formalities?" The person in charge of the renovation project of the 718 canteen of CSIC recently called the 961890 mass service hotline in Handan. With the help of the hotline platform, this project, which used to take 160 working days to complete the formalities, solved the problem in only 20 days.

  A hotline, is it so magical? All localities and departments have their own hotlines, such as Handan. In the past, there were 23 industry hotlines, including 12345 (mayor’s hotline), 12369 (environmental hotline), 12358 (price hotline) and 12333 (labor security service hotline). The hotline is supposed to be an emergency, but too many numbers and unclear responsibilities may make people more anxious. Handan 961890 mass service hotline integrates the above-mentioned 23 hotlines of industry departments, accepts the demands of the masses in all aspects of production and life in a unified way, and truly realizes the "one-number call", which solves the problems of inconvenient memory of the masses with many numbers, low connection rate, low service quality, and lack of unified management in different sectors.

  The number is unified, is the appeal really better solved? According to reports, for general consulting questions, the operator directly answers them by querying the knowledge base; For professional questions that need to be answered by relevant departments, the operator can use the three-way call function to connect with relevant departments, and the professionals will give a reply; For appeals, if the relevant responsible units need to reply after handling them, an electronic work order will be formed and transferred to the relevant units for handling.

  They also set up a regular return visit mechanism to supervise the whole service. "Within three working days after the hotline call, we will call back directly and ask the other party to rate our service. Matters that are dissatisfied with the masses and are indeed the responsibility of the organizer shall be returned to the organizer for re-processing and timely follow-up. " Du Hui, director of the mass service hotline management office in Handan City, told the reporter that the calls of the masses were first supervised by the service hotline, and those that were not completed on time were handed over to the government supervision office, and those that were still not completed on time were held accountable by the supervision bureau.

  At present, Handan’s 961890 hotline receives more than 2,000 pieces a day, which are the hot and difficult issues that the masses are most concerned about. The hotline platform started big data analysis, and analyzed the information and data of these problems and the handling situation of each unit, providing decision-making reference for government services. At the same time, through in-depth data mining, according to the frequency of hot words and keywords, we can find the focus of public attention and provide guidance for the development of the industry.

  Since the beginning of this year, Handan’s 961890 hotline has successively assigned more than 150,000 problems reflected by market players and the masses, with a completion rate of 98% and a satisfaction rate of 95%. Among them, it handled more than 1,100 sudden emergencies such as water cut-off, power cut-off, gas cut-off, fire and repair of municipal facilities, and played the role of "barometer of social conditions and public opinion, serving the masses as a bridge, and maintaining a stable pressure reducer".

  A small detail is enough to show the delicacy and thoughtfulness of hotline service. Handan 961890 hotline is equipped with a decibel meter in the traffic acceptance area to monitor the voice of the operator. "This is to always remind us to treat every caller gently and help them solve every problem sincerely and patiently." Du Hui told reporters.

  Whether it is Shijiazhuang, Xingtai or Handan, the local government is stimulating market multiplication and continuously releasing market vitality by "subtracting" power and "adding" service. In the first half of this year, the total number of market players in Hebei Province reached 4.27 million, rising from the 10th in 2013 to the 7th.

The first store in Chongqing, which was "exploded" by Fat East, is coming! How about the reporter showing you the "fat content"

Yonghui Nanping wanda plaza Store, the first large supermarket in Chongqing to learn from Fat East, will be unveiled on November 15th. As the first store to be changed, what are the new changes? What good things can I buy that are full of fat? Upstream journalists will take you to explore the store and get a sneak peek!

After more than a month’s adjustment of the well-known supplier Chaopang Donglai, the upstream journalist saw that the store after the "explosive reform" cancelled the compulsory line, broadened the channel of the store, and the overall layout was more transparent and bright. This will be more convenient for consumers to go to different regions to buy goods.

As a learning object, of course, the "fat content" soared. This time, there are more than 7,500 new products, and the product structure has reached more than 80% of the stores in Pangdonglai. The store is prominently displayed with "DL" series seafood snacks, baked desserts, oatmeal crisps, laundry detergent, and essays by Yu Donglai, the founder of Fat Donglai, all of which are explosive goods with high traffic in Henan stores.

After the rejuvenation, the store has also done a lot of "addition" in service: there are magnifying glasses, blood pressure meters, love wheelchairs and love medicine boxes for the elderly and the disabled; Give a hand-held cooking menu to the cooking "Xiaobai"; Arrange a pet placement area for the "hairy child" and look after it by a special person; There is also a charging treasure for free use within 1 hour …

In addition to goods and services, employee welfare is also an important aspect of Yonghui’s study. It is understood that the salary of ordinary employees in Yonghui Chongqing has increased from 3,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan and above. Increase the number of vacation days, employees can enjoy 10 days paid vacation and issue birthday and holiday welfare cards after working for one year.

"Starting from December 2024, Chongqing Yonghui will gradually carry out the independent adjustment and reform work of learning from Fat East in other districts and counties." Cai contradiction, deputy general manager of Chongqing Yonghui Supermarket Co., Ltd. introduced that from the past experience, after the reform of each store, the passenger flow, sales volume and word of mouth have been greatly improved, which further promoted the development of surrounding business districts.

Hong Yong, a researcher at the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, believes that the "adjustment and reform effect" of Yonghui Supermarket has begun to take shape, and it is expected to become an important model to promote the growth of some business districts in the future.

"At present, it seems that the restructuring of Yonghui Supermarket in several cities has enabled young consumers to return to offline, which has formed an obvious driving effect on their business districts. This’ restructuring effect’ is reproducible, especially in the first few restructuring stores in a district." Hong Yong said that next, there may be many commercial bodies and government investment departments extending "olive branches" to strive for the landing of the store, with a view to further revitalizing consumption.

  Cctv news The state of safe production of construction machinery is closely related to the situation of safe production in construction, a high-risk industry. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 20 million sets of construction machinery and equipment in China, with more than 30 million employees. Among them, 80% of the construction machinery and equipment are in the hands of individuals, and a large number of operators have never entered training courses and are seriously undocumented.

  In recent years, although all parties concerned have done a lot of work, due to various reasons, there are still a large number of hidden dangers in the operation of construction machinery, and casualties have occurred frequently, including serious accidents. In order to improve the safety production level of construction machinery and make it play a better role in the national economic construction, especially in the construction of projects such as "Belt and Road" and "integration of defense and civilian technologies", on August 9, 2017, the (first) China construction machinery safety production and dialogue Beidou assisted construction machinery "Belt and Road" and integration of defense and civilian technologies construction summit forum was held in Beijing.

  The forum was jointly organized by the Innovation Investment and Financing Committee of China Investment Association, World Wide Web, Economic Reference of the State Council Development Research Center, China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association and Zhongan Construction Machinery Management Co., Ltd. The theme of the forum is "Safe and Green Sharing". More than 120 people from the government, domestic and foreign construction machinery enterprises, experts and scholars attended the meeting.

The film channel began broadcasting the series of films "Anti-fraud Storm" on December 20th.

Special feature of 1905 film network Have you downloaded the national anti-fraud center APP?The police uncle has been mobilizing the masses to actively install and use the National Anti-Fraud Center APP, and has done his best to remind the citizens to prevent telecom fraud.With the continuous development of Internet technology, people’s information is more transparent, and fraudsters’ deception is escalating day by day. Therefore, it is imperative to raise anti-fraud awareness.


The anti-fraud series "Anti-fraud Storm" produced by the movie channel recommended today shows the real "telecom fraud encyclopedia" to the audience and vividly restores the most common fraud cases in real life.The film truly restores the fraud dens and environment, and shows the fraud process, fraud division of labor, fraud speech and so on in detail, so that the audience can have a deeper understanding of the current fraud.


High-tech detection, gun chase, crisis bomb disposal, special police round-up and other big scenes that show the police’s crime-solving techniques make this series very ornamental.



The series "Anti-Fraud Storm" tells five different fraud scenarios in five films, and the stories in the films are all from real cases.


Social security fraud, marriage fraud, hacker Trojan virus stealing accounts, QQ WeChat fraud, pseudo base station SMS fraud and other types of fraud often mentioned in the news are all realistically shown in the film, and with the full assistance of the Ministry of Public Security, this series can be said to be a set of works that deeply expose the inside story of domestic telecom network fraud.



1. Pretending to be a public security law to cheat social security


Telecommunication fraud is rampant.Deception in the name of "insurance company, social security or medical insurance bureau" in real life makes it difficult for victims to distinguish between true and false.Dai Lian, the mother whose son was seriously ill and whose life was hanging by a thread, was taken away by the medical insurance fraud.


Unforgettable anti-fraud storm


The deception methods of fraud groups are deeply rooted in the daily life of the people and are very clever. They have their own complete fraud system and fraud process, with clear division of responsibilities and uniform personnel distribution.

 Unforgettable anti-fraud storm


The film is restored to a certain extent, so that the audience can understand the truth of social security fraud and low-income fraud. It also tells us not to panic in the face of this situation, not to believe strange calls, but to go to the nearest social security service center for on-site inquiry or call the 12333 service hotline for verification.


2. Online marriage and love fraud


The abyss of desire is unpredictable, and the current marriage fraud is increasingly rampant.


In "Love Puzzle of Anti-fraud Storm", Yu Meng’s older uncle, a member of the anti-telecom fraud action group, was caught in an online marriage scam. In order to prevent the fraud group from trying to make a fortune through the online marriage fair, the police and the fraud group launched this battle between the police and the robbers.


Love puzzle of anti-fraud storm


The Love Puzzle of the Anti-fraud Storm exposes the truth of "cheating love" and reminds netizens that they should be vigilant when it comes to economic exchanges in the process of online communication, and be more alert to those "gentle traps" in the name of love.


3. High-tech fraud


With the rapid development of science and technology, the fraudulent means of criminals are constantly updated. It is impossible to prevent people from committing crimes by using high-tech means such as hacking technology and Trojan virus to disguise fraudulent information as QR codes, likes and love transmission.


The criminals in the film take advantage of the victim’s psychology of "love takes advantage of small things" and "curiosity" to weaken the victim’s awareness of prevention, which leads to tragedy.


Tan Shuai, the police chief, finally assisted banks and operators in handling cases through the anti-fraud center, and stripped off major fraud cases at different levels.

The evil call of the anti-fraud storm


High-tech fraud is all around us. Don’t be greedy, don’t panic, don’t be curious, don’t leak, and don’t be credulous! Doing these five points well will surely prevent them effectively.


4. Star fraud


In recent years, an endless stream of star fraud cases are telling us that neither stars nor ordinary people can escape the eyes of fraud groups.


The Battle of Cat and Mouse in the Anti-fraud Storm tells the story of Bao Xiaofu and Deng Chao, police officers of the Anti-telecom fraud team of Binhai Public Security Bureau, who found clues from a telecom fraud case of an internet star, and then ended the largest telecom fraud gang in Binhai, headed by Mei Qianfeng.


The cat-and-mouse battle of the anti-fraud storm


The huge scam that stars are caught in reminds us all the time not to send money to strangers and disclose any personal information.


5, low-income fraud, pseudo base station SMS fraud


Fraudulent means emerge one after another.People always receive all kinds of unknown phone calls or text messages in life, and these seemingly ordinary anonymous phone calls and text messages are actually elaborate scams.


In recent years, fraudsters have begun to use pseudo base stations for cast-net fraud. Pseudo base stations can impersonate any number, including the numbers of communication operators, bank customer service and even social security bureaus and public security departments to send short messages. Once someone clicks on the link in the short message, it is likely to cause economic losses.


The Strange Number of Anti-fraud Storm is the fifth work of the anti-telecom fraud series Anti-fraud Storm. The film is headed by the fictional Honglong Group, the largest fraud group in a city. While using pseudo base stations to send short messages, it implements cast-net fraud and uses the list of poor households in its hands to implement fixed-point fraud.


 Strange number of anti-fraud storm


They implanted Trojan virus in the voice message of WeChat, and as long as the other party opened the voice message, they could withdraw all the money from the online bank associated with the mobile phone.


With the efforts of young actors such as He Minghan, Wang Ruizi, Liu Changde, Zhang Yiluan, Zhao Hongxia, Wu Mingxuan and Wang Wanjuan, the members of the Public Security Bureau’s anti-telecom fraud team finally locked the address of the Red Dragon Group’s lair, and more than 40 members of the Red Dragon Group were arrested.


Strange number of anti-fraud storm


It is the key to prevent all kinds of information from leaking. It is the most important thing not to click on unknown websites or links. Any request is fraud. If you are deceived, you should report it to the public security organ immediately.


The series of films "Anti-Fraud Storm" vividly restored the cause and effect of telecom fraud, as well as the routines and skills of fraud.

Strange number of anti-fraud storm


The behind-the-scenes team of this series of films comes from the first anti-telecom fraud movie in China. The Hong Kong director’s "Huge Call" once popularized the telecom fraud process that the public didn’t know before.


Huge call


The story in "Huge Call" alludes to a series of real-life telecom fraud cases: Xu Yuyu case, "8.25" telecom fraud case, China students’ virtual kidnapping case and so on.


The film revolves around and plays the leader of the telecom crime group, and has a transnational confrontation with the hot-blooded detective. From the intellectual confrontation between swindlers and police, the information war between high-tech to the armed conflict between real swords and real guns, movies are used to restore the reality of fraud in the news.


Stills of "Huge Call"


More and more convenient communication and economic exchanges make this kind of crime everywhere.It was broadcast on the movie channel.Bad callIn the form of black humor comedy, this bad phenomenon of telecom fraud is ridiculed and exposed.


Stills of "Bad Call"


Another film about fraud cracked this "big lie" with a carefully planned plot of "cheating and cheating".


Stills of "The Big Lie"


Every minute, there are large and small fraud cases happening.As Zhou Wei, the director of The Big Lie, said, "We hope that through movies, we can show you how to deal with telecom fraud and strengthen our understanding of fraud and anti-fraud. Burning the brain is not the ultimate goal, so that every audience can be safe and secure is our greatest expectation. "The film and television works with the theme of telecom fraud crime are the works needed in this fast era.


Starting from Monday, December 20th, this week, at 14:00 pm, a series of movies "Anti-Fraud Storm" will be broadcast continuously every day. I hope that the stories told in the movies will help you understand the truth and ways of fraud and enhance your anti-fraud awareness.


The Central Propaganda Group had face-to-face communication with cadres and the masses, and everyone said: Hold high the banner, support the core, and always follow the party.

  下午3时许,广州荔湾昌华街西关大屋社区家庭综合服务中心暖意融融,气氛热烈。与中央宣讲团围坐一圈的社区居民们,争先分享各自学习党的十九大精神的心得体会。

  “感谢党中央!感谢最高领袖总书记!”家住社区的荔湾区委办副主任张文秀在电视上聆听了习总书记作的十九大报告,万分激动,深受鼓舞。她说,十八大以来,党的好政策给基层干部群众带来了实实在在的好处,大家的获得感幸福感大幅提升。以荔湾为例,近年在公共惠民服务方面开展了诸多新探索:推动旧楼宇加装电梯、探索特色医疗卫生服务体系等,让广大人民群众看到党在民生保障中所作出的努力。

  “你说得很好,令人振奋!”江金权对马振义说。

  Suddenly, warm applause rang out from the audience.

  In the subsequent questioning session, Chen Jianling, executive vice president of the Party School of Liwan District Committee, took the lead in getting the microphone. She said that the party school is responsible for the propaganda of the party’s line, principles and policies. Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I have heard the report of the Central Propaganda Group for the first time, and my spirit is very exciting and my thinking is clearer. The urgent task is to be a good preacher and let the spirit of the 19th National Congress enter the classroom, the community and the enterprise in time and accurately. "The greatest theoretical contribution of the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is to put forward Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, and realize the Party’s guiding ideology to keep pace with the times again. How to understand the realistic and theoretical basis for the formation of this thought?" Chen Jianling asked.

  "To study the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the most important thing is to study Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era." Jiang Jinquan replied that the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was formed under the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era. This is the "soul" and "outline" of the report, and it is the action guide for the whole party and the people of the whole country to move towards a new journey. The Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the New Era is an important theoretical innovation achieved by our Party through arduous theoretical exploration in close connection with the new era conditions and practical requirements. It not only adhered to the ancestors, but also spoke a lot of new words, which was an experience summary and theoretical sublimation of the great practice since the 18th CPC National Congress, realized a new leap in combining the basic principles of Marxism with China’s concrete reality, innovated and developed in inheritance, and realized the Party’s guiding ideology to keep pace with the times again.

  Liu Yipeng, political commissar of the Exit-Entry Administration Detachment of Guangzhou Public Security Bureau, was the deputy director of Changhua Police Station. He had deep feelings with xiguan big house community residents and was elected as the representative of the 18th CPC National Congress. This time, he made a special trip back to the community to listen to the propaganda of the central propaganda group, and he was very excited.

  "The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China makes people feel proud, confident, motivated and directional. The report points out that Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the main social contradictions in China have changed. At the same time, it emphasizes that the changes in the main social contradictions have not changed our judgment on the historical stage of socialism in China. How to understand this ‘ Change ’ With ‘ Constant ’ The relationship? " This is the question that Liu Yipeng is thinking about when studying the report of the 19th National Congress these days.

  Jiang Jinquan said, to understand this problem, we should start with "change" and "unchanged". "Change" can be understood from both the supply side and the demand side. The transformation of the principal contradiction is determined by the current objective reality in China. The main contradiction in the past was the judgment made according to the social development at that time, which was in line with the reality at that time. However, after 68 years of the founding of People’s Republic of China (PRC), nearly 40 years of reform and opening up, especially five years of development since the 18th National Congress, our country has undergone fundamental and historic changes. For example, China is no longer just a "world factory", but is becoming an "innovative factory" in the world, and "Made in China" is making a leap to "Created in China". Another example is that our high-speed rail, aircraft carrier, deep-sea exploration and other technologies have gradually developed from running with each other to catching up and leading. Talking about "backward social production" is no longer in line with the actual situation of social development, which is the change that has taken place on the supply side. On the demand side, people’s demand now is no longer a simple material and cultural demand in the past, no longer just to eat and wear warm clothes, but a demand for a better life. Changes in the supply side and the demand side have brought about changes in the main social contradictions.

  Jiang Jinquan went on to say that the "unchangeable" aspect lies in that China is still in the primary stage of socialism and will remain the largest developing country in the world for a long time. Comrade Deng Xiaoping once said that "the primary stage of socialism needs at least 100 years", which is an analysis and judgment based on the underdeveloped national productive forces. "I think that socialism has at least two characteristics, one is that material and cultural life is relatively rich, and the other is to achieve common prosperity. At present, it seems that these two tasks have not been completely solved. For example, the per capita GDP ranks below the average in the world, there are still some poor people who have not been lifted out of poverty, there are problems of environmental debts, and the development between rural and remote areas and coastal cities is unbalanced and the gap is large. " He said that at present, the problems in the early stage of the primary stage of socialism have been basically solved, and the next stage is to solve the problem of higher level development.

  Zhou Guangxi, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Changhua Street, raised a general concern of grass-roots party workers: the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that to expand the coverage of grass-roots party organizations and focus on solving the problems of weakening, blurring and marginalization of some grass-roots party organizations, how should we proceed to solve the problem of "three modernizations"?

  Jiang Jinquan said, if we compare our Party to a mansion, grass-roots Party organizations are the foundation. It is the fighting fortress of the Party in the grass-roots organizations of society and the foundation of all the Party’s work and combat effectiveness, and we must consolidate this foundation. For a period of time, some grass-roots party organizations did have the problem of "three modernizations". If this continues, the foundation of our party will not be solid. The foundation is not firm, and the ground shakes. The CPC Central Committee attaches great importance to this. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has personally presided over the National Party Building Work Conference of State-owned Enterprises and the National Party Building Work Conference of Colleges and Universities, and put forward new requirements for strengthening the construction of grass-roots party organizations. The newly revised party constitution has enriched the relevant contents in the chapter "Grass-roots Organizations of the Party", such as revising the term of office of grass-roots party organizations and clarifying the leading role of party committees (leading groups) of state-owned enterprises. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China also puts forward requirements for grass-roots party organizations to enhance their organizational strength, highlight their political functions, and undertake their duties and tasks. It can be said that the construction of grass-roots party organizations is the most important thing of the CPC Central Committee. The grassroots people have always been the most concerned about by the CPC Central Committee.

  After answering all the questions, Jiang Jinquan said that to study and implement the spirit of the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, first, we must learn the "four self-confidences" and have confidence in realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation; The second is to learn the "four consciousnesses", which boils down to wholeheartedly supporting the core and always following it; We sincerely support the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era and always hold high this banner.

  Cadres and workers of Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid Corporation:

  "Implementing the Party in an All-round and Strict Way in Deepening Reform"

  After the community communication, the Central Propaganda Group came to Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid Corporation.

  There are 10,431 employees in Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau, including 5,180 in party member and 230 party organizations. Since the victory of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Party organizations at all levels have adopted various forms and carriers, such as central group study, theme party day, special study and discussion, and "party member ideological education" APP, so that the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China can be absorbed in the first-line party member.

  The delegation of the Central Propaganda Group carefully browsed the Theoretical Learning Reference — — The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (party member Ideological Education) APP, and talked with cadres and workers about their experiences in learning the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In the power dispatching control center, party member Power Supply Service Team, 220kV Tianhe Substation and other job sites, cadres and workers gathered around and scrambled to ask the members of the Central Propaganda Group for their confusion.

  Jiang Debin, Party Secretary of Electric Power Dispatching and Control Center, who has been engaged in Party building for a long time and attached importance to theoretical study, has a lot of experience in talking about the report of the 19th National Congress. He asked: The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China first brought the political construction of the Party into the overall layout of the Party. How should we understand its significance and connotation?

  Jiang Jinquan said that the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was a major innovation in party building, that is, it put forward the major proposition and task of party political building for the first time, and emphasized that "taking the party’s political building as the guide", "putting it in the first place" and "fundamental construction", which further deepened the understanding of the regularity of Marxist party building.

  Jiang Jinquan said that with regard to political construction, the report of the 19th National Congress has set forth four tasks: First, upholding the authority of the CPC Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership are the primary tasks of the party’s political construction, firmly establishing the "four consciousnesses", and maintaining a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core in terms of political stance, political direction, political principles and political road. Second, we should be serious about inner-party political life, strictly implement some norms of inner-party political life under the new situation, adhere to democratic centralism, and carry out criticism and self-criticism. Third, we should develop a positive and healthy inner-party political culture, carry forward communist party people’s values, and resolutely resist the erosion of the party by individualism, sectarianism, circle culture, dock culture, hidden rules and so on. Fourth, we should strengthen the party spirit training, which is the basic and long-term work of the party’s political construction. We emphasize that the leading cadres in party member, especially in party member, should enhance their political awareness and ability and keep the political qualities of communist party people forever. The four tasks of the party’s political construction stipulated in the report actually outline the basic framework of the party’s political construction content.

  "We will definitely follow the work requirements of the Central Propaganda Group and the Party Committee of the company, take political construction as the guide, do a good job in our various management work, promote the whole production work, and especially ensure the safety work." Jiang Debin nodded frequently after listening to the explanation, so he made a statement.

  Chen Zhicong, a skill expert from Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau, has been studying the revised party constitution recently. He asked Jiang Jinquan: "The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China adopted the Constitution of the Communist Party of China (Amendment) and made major changes to party constitution. Would you please tell us about the major changes?"

  Jiang Jinquan said that this major revision of party constitution can be summarized as four points: First, the supreme leader’s new era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought was written into party constitution as the party’s guiding ideology; The second is to write the core position of the Supreme Leader General Secretary in the whole party into party constitution; The third is to write the new ideas, new ideas and new strategies of the Supreme Leader General Secretary in governing the country into party constitution; The fourth is to write the new practice and achievements of strictly administering the Party in an all-round way into party constitution.

  "Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I feel that everyone is more conscious and active in participating in political life, and the work of the branch is more standardized and serious. How do you think to combine the new requirements of the Party’s leadership in the report of the 19th National Congress with the spirit of the National Conference on Party Building in State-owned Enterprises, and further promote the comprehensive and strict management of the Party by state-owned enterprises? " Wang Junxiao, an employee of Guangzhou Yuexiu Power Supply Bureau, asked.

  Jiang Jinquan said that regarding the issue of strict management of the Party by state-owned enterprises in an all-round way, from the report of the 19th National Congress to the newly revised party constitution, the spirit of the National Conference on Party Building in State-owned Enterprises held in October last year was fully reflected. Therefore, it is necessary to closely combine the implementation of the spirit of the National Conference on Party Building in State-owned Enterprises with the spirit of the 19th National Congress, and continue to work hard from five aspects: concept, system, system, political ecology, and basic work. In contrast to the spirit of the National Conference on Party Building in State-owned Enterprises, the report of the 19th National Congress, and party constitution, we should find out the shortcomings in the party building work of central enterprises and take targeted measures, so as to enable party committees (party groups) of central enterprises to give full play to their leading role and grass-roots party organizations at all levels to give full play to their role as battlefortresses

  In a warm and harmonious atmosphere, an afternoon of interactive communication came to an end unconsciously. The propaganda of the Central Propaganda Group helped everyone to further deepen their understanding of the spirit of the 19th National Congress and laid a solid foundation for further study and implementation of the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Tens of millions of property of bribery businessmen in Gansu were transferred to the name of discipline inspection officials.

  From April 13th to 15th, Chen Yichao’s bribery case was heard in the People’s Court of Ganzhou District, Zhangye City, Gansu Province. China Youth Daily Zhongqing Online Reporter Lu Yijie/photo

  On November 25, 2011, Fan Xiuling (left) and Chen Yichao (right) gave the personal account named "Jia Yuan" a voucher for transfer. Fan Xiuling/Photo courtesy

  Chen Yichao, 57, has gray hair. He hunched slightly and limped into the court, expressionless.

  At one time, the gold merchant’s biggest handwriting was to earn 100 million yuan in one fell swoop; However, after the procuratorate found that he paid a bribe of 300,000 yuan for a car, he lost his freedom. Although there is no trial or conviction, as early as more than four years ago, Chen Yichao’s property of at least 10 million yuan has nothing to do with him — — Some commission for discipline inspection, discipline inspection cadres and prosecutors have become the masters of these wealth.

  Among these properties, three cars were transferred to the General Office of the CPC Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and two cars were changed to the name of the staff of the People’s Procuratorate of Ganzhou District, Zhangye City, Gansu Province. In addition, at least 9.52 million yuan of funds were transferred to the personal accounts of the discipline inspection cadres in Gansu Province and the prosecutors handling cases in the People’s Procuratorate of Ganzhou District, and one of the transfers was handled by the wife of the discipline inspection cadres working in the bank.

  The interviewed scholars told China Youth Daily and Zhongqing Online reporter that in the process of criminal proceedings, any institution can only temporarily detain the property before the court decides, and cannot transfer the ownership. If the property is transferred to an individual’s name, "it is a violation of discipline and a new corruption."

  "In this case, I think it is not a big deal to be suspected of bribery. The big thing is these properties!" At the trial site of Ganzhou District People’s Court on April 13, Chen Yichao, who pleaded not guilty, said that he would report the case handlers.

  Gold miners were questioned by prosecutors at the provincial commission for discipline inspection.

  Chen Yichao is from Tianshui, Gansu. Earlier, he worked in Tianshui Station of Gansu Provincial Material Administration Bureau for 17 years. There was a special railway line for transporting ore in the station, and he contacted a group of people who "mined". In the mid-1990s, when the Property Management Bureau was restructured, Chen Yichao decided to find his own way out and do "mining" business.

  The gold mine brought wealth to Chen Yichao, which also made his fate turn sharply. In late May 2011, he was taken away by the case handlers in Lanzhou, and then the case handlers found his wife Fan Xiuling from the hotel.

  Fan Xiuling used to be an employee of a bank in Tianshui. She recalled that she was asked about the relationship between Chen Yichao and citic guoan Gold Company, and what property she had at home, such as real estate, vehicles and deposits in bank cards.

  Citic guoan Gold Company is a wholly state-owned subsidiary of CITIC Guoan Group, which is well-known in the domestic gold industry. In May 2000, Chen Yichao, who wanted to develop Toutanzi Gold Mine in Huixian County, Gansu Province, reached a cooperation intention with the gold company in the name of a company.

  In the next three years, the Gold Company won the exploration right and decided to set up a new joint-stock company in cooperation with another state-owned enterprise in Huixian County. The Gold Company invested in mining rights and held 37% of the shares.

  Due to the restructuring and other reasons, the gold company actually withdrew from business. In June 2006, Chen Yichao agreed to transfer 37% of his shares in the name of Gold Company, which made him earn 101.88 million yuan.

  "Many of the previous investments were made by others, and this income has to be paid back." Fan Xiuling said. After several years of hard work, Chen Yichao bought eight properties in Beijing, Shanghai, Xiamen and Sanya, including BMW, Mitsubishi and Audi.

  These properties are now considered by Ganzhou District People’s Procuratorate to be purchased with illegally profited funds. The indictment alleges that in the process of cooperation with the gold company, Chen Yichao repeatedly promised to reward Liu Wenge, the former deputy general manager of the company, after making profits. In May 2007, Liu Wenge offered to buy a car for him, and Chen Yichao paid 307,000 yuan with his personal bank card and bought a Toyota Camry car for Liu Wenge.

  According to the indictment, Chen Yichao concealed the fact of cooperation with the gold company and obtained the exploration right in the name of the company; Without application, approval, filing or approval, the exploration right was privately invested in the name of the gold company, and then transferred to other companies, which obtained huge illegal benefits and "actually made a profit of 95.17 million yuan".

  On May 29, 2011, the People’s Procuratorate of Ganzhou District decided to place him under residential surveillance. At first, he was suspected of corruption.

  Chen Yichao, who is not from party member, has experienced the plot that he only saw on TV. According to the investigation or interrogation record of Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Ganzhou District People’s Procuratorate, he was investigated or interrogated many times in the "case handling point of Jin Peng Building Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in Lanzhou City". The interrogators and investigators were both Ganzhou District prosecutors and Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection cadres.

  At the scene of the trial, Chen Yichao repeatedly said that he had been living in the case-handling point of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection of Jin Peng Building during more than 200 days of residential surveillance. The prosecutor did not deny this.

  According to the reporter’s field visit on April 10th this year, the Jin Peng Building, which opened in 2004, has 12 floors, and only all the street windows on the fifth floor are surrounded by iron bars. Fan Xiuling said that the fifth floor is the case handling point. The reporter tried to stay on the fifth floor of the building, but the waiter declined on the grounds that the water pipe was broken and there was no hot water.

  Search, seizure and freezing, Chen Yichao’s property was involved in the storm of criminal cases. On the third day of residential surveillance, the Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection temporarily withheld the "cash of 300,000 yuan" involved. A month later, all vehicles under Chen Yichao’s name were temporarily detained.

  At least 9.52 million yuan has been transferred to the personal account of discipline inspection cadres or prosecutors.

  There are more and more properties withheld and sealed, and Fan Xiuling didn’t know where the money was stored until November 25, 2011.

  Fan Xiuling said that the investigators found her and asked her to remit 700,000 yuan from her China bank account with the last number of 1584 to a personal name called Jia Yuan. Jia Yuan is a cadre of Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection contacted by Fan Xiuling. According to public reports, in 2013, Jia Yuan was still attending the meeting of the discipline inspection department in Gansu Province.

  "I’m not voluntary, I said I don’t turn. The case handler said that this was illegal income. I think the statement is weird, but I don’t understand it specifically. In the end, it’s not up to me. " Fan Xiuling said, "I don’t know about other issues, but I work in a bank and I have to use a court judgment to deduct deposits. I know that."

  The Application for Remittance in China Bank shows that the purpose of this remittance is "case payment". Another Receipt for Bank Card Withdrawal of Agricultural Bank of China stated that on the same day, Jia Yuan also received a "Kaka Transfer" of 900,000 yuan from Chen Yichao’s bank card.

  On the same day, the Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection recorded in the registration form of temporarily detained and sealed items that "the cash involved in the case handed over by Fan Xiuling was 1.6 million yuan only", which was the sum of the two transfers. The registration form shows that the custodian of this paragraph is Jia Yuan. The reporter found that the custodian of the other six registration forms is also Jia Yuan.

  On this day, Chen Yichao was released from residential surveillance and changed to bail pending trial, and the alleged crime was also changed to bribery.

  Chen Yichao and his wife began to investigate where the money was temporarily detained and sealed. They retrieved the bank voucher and found that at least 5 funds and 8.52 million yuan had been transferred to Jia Yuan’s personal account with the ending number of 8717. The opening bank of this account is Lanzhou Jinchang Road Sub-branch of Agricultural Bank of China, and the seal of one receipt shows that the manager is a Ms. Zhu.

  China Youth Daily reporter came to the business office of the branch on April 11th this year. Many employees said that Ms. Zhu was indeed an employee in the business office and worked on the 5th floor of the building. Official sources confirmed that she was the wife of a cadre of Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. The cadre participated in the investigation of Chen Yichao’s case, and his name was seen in the transcript many times.

  Among the aforementioned transfers, the earliest known transfer was RMB 1.803 million on October 19, 2011, which was used as "payable". At that time, Chen Yichao was still monitoring his residence.

  The name "Sun Wannian" was signed at the signature of the remitter and the blank space of the payee’s information. The reporter found that the contact number left in the "payer" column was also Sun Wannian’s. He was qualified as a senior auditor in 2010. In a public information in March 2012, he was identified as the deputy director of the Audit Bureau of Tianzhu County, Gansu Province.

  The personal account of the prosecutor also received the money involved. On November 7, 2011, a man surnamed Yan’s account had 1 million yuan remitted to the account of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China named "Chen Guoxun". Four days later, the money was recorded in the registration form of temporarily detained and sealed articles of Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the witness was Chen Guoxun.

  Chen Guoxun is the prosecutor of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ganzhou District Procuratorate who interrogated Chen Yichao. In April 2014, Chen was appointed as a member of the Procuratorial Committee of Ganzhou District Procuratorate.

  Li Chengyan, a professor at the School of Government Administration of Peking University, told reporters that no matter what the situation, there are serious problems in transferring the money involved into personal accounts, which are unreasonable, unreasonable and illegal. Zhu Xiaoding, a defense lawyer and lawyer of Beijing Cailiang Law Firm, presented these transfer vouchers during the trial.

  The prosecutor responded that if there is evidence that the money is remitted to the personal name of the prosecutor and the cadre of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, it can be reported and charged.

  The prosecutor did not explain whether the money later flowed to a special account. However, she said that when she received the money involved, she had received a check with an amount of 24.7087 million yuan. The defense lawyer asked for verification in court, but the prosecutor did not show it.

  Three cars, including BMW, were transferred to the General Office of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission.

  Chen Yichao and his wife did not expect that although they walked out of the residence where they lived under surveillance, their three cars were transferred to the General Office of the Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. The three cars are BMW compact car, Pajero compact off-road bus and Audi Q7 compact off-road bus. The license plates are Shanghai FL8996, Beijing EP7763 and Beijing KX0829 respectively.

  China Youth Daily Zhongqing Online reporter confirmed from official sources that the owners of these three cars were originally Chen Yichao, but they were all changed to "General Office of Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection".

  In fact, the transfer of vehicle ownership has already begun before the investigation stage is over. In late December 2011, the first car completed the ownership transfer procedure, and the next day, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ganzhou District Procuratorate just formed the Investigation End Report.

  At the beginning of January 2012, the last car was transferred to the name of the General Office of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. However, two months later, the Zhangye City Procuratorate handed over Chen Yichao’s bribery case to the Ganzhou District Procuratorate for review and prosecution.

  According to official sources, the registration of each car was transferred from Beijing and Shanghai on the day when the transfer formalities were completed. In the summer of 2012, BMW and Audi cars underwent annual inspection, which means that the new owners may have used the vehicles.

  In 1998, the Notice of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Ministry of Supervision of the CPC Central Committee on Strengthening the Management of Confiscation and Recovery of Illegal Funds and Articles by Discipline Inspection and Supervision Organs stipulated that all confiscated and recovered funds and articles handled by the case-handling offices should be handed over to the financial department of the organ for unified management, and the financial department of the organ should be managed by a special person and set up a special account; Temporary detention and storage of funds and materials should also be properly managed by special personnel; No interception, misappropriation, embezzlement or private sharing is allowed.

  According to Chen Yichao’s statement in court, the transfer procedures of these three cars were handled by the case handlers with their official seals in Beijing and Shanghai at the end of 2011. The prosecutor did not comment on this.

  For the reason of "transfer before judgment", some media recently contacted some case handlers of the Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but they were rejected. On the afternoon of April 15, the relevant office phone number of Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was not answered.

  Two other cars were also accused of involvement. Lawyer Zhu Xiaoding introduced that the cars were Audi A6L sedan and Toyota Camry sedan, and the license plates were Jing HL4986 and Jing NR1807 respectively. They were transferred to Dong Shaohua and Ma Jian around the end of 2011. The reporter confirmed this statement from official sources.

  Zhu Xiaoding asked the public prosecutor to issue the identity information of Dong Shaohua and Ma Jian, but the public prosecutor did not produce it. The public prosecutor later said that if there is a problem with the disposal of property, the defender can directly sue.

  Insiders of Ganzhou District People’s Procuratorate told China Youth Daily that Ma Jian was a section-level procurator of the hospital, while Dong Shaohua was a driver of the hospital, accounting for the establishment of the workers. However, the name of the driver Dong Shaohua appeared in the "Inquirer" column of an inquiry record on September 20, 2011.

  "How can the property be transferred to the unit or individual?" Professor Li Chengyan is puzzled. Zhu Lijia, a professor at the National School of Administration, said that before the court ruled, the property involved could only be seized and ownership could not be transferred.

  The reporter noticed that some of the undertakers and custodians of the case overlapped. Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection’s registration forms of temporarily detained and sealed articles on June 10th and 19th, 2011 show that three vehicles were temporarily detained and sealed in these two days, and the investigators were Sun Bing and Bai Zhao Bin, and the custodians were also them. Their names also appear in the "inquirer" or "talker" of several transcripts.

  If the supervision department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection handles the case by itself, this practice is not allowed. In 2007, "Regulations on the Management of Money and Articles Involved in Self-managed Cases by the Supervision Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (Trial)" requires that the management of money and articles involved must be legal, fair, accurate and timely, the case undertaker and the custodian should be separated, and the case handling department and the custody department should perform their respective duties.

  The procuratorate refused to check and identify the money involved on the spot.

  The problem of property was finally exposed in the prosecution stage.

  Lawyer Zhu Xiaoding found that in July and September, 2015, Ganzhou District Procuratorate issued two identical indictments, both of which claimed to "recover a Toyota Camry from Liu Wenge". However, in December of that year, this car disappeared from the registration form for the transfer and handling of money and materials involved by the Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the prosecution.

  In this regard, the public prosecutor explained that Liu Wenge’s case had been finalized in November 2012 and the car had been disposed of. She didn’t issue a handling voucher. In fact, this is the car that was transferred to the name of Dong Shaohua, the driver of the procuratorate in 2011.

  The aforementioned registration form shows that the money involved in the case was transferred to 24.7087 million yuan, and another 178,900 yuan was turned over to the state treasury. Zhu Xiaoding believes that the case has not yet been decided and there should be no money turned over to the state treasury.

  In January 2016, the prosecution again issued a change indictment, adding a series of property lists sealed up, detained and frozen by the Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, including three cars that have been transferred to the General Office of the Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

  Chen Yichao and his lawyer said that Pajero was purchased in December 2000, which obviously has nothing to do with the bribery case; Another car that was transferred to the name of Ma Jian, a procurator at the official level, is not in the indictment and should be returned.

  The prosecutor did not respond to this at the trial.

  The list of withheld money and materials such as vehicles also attracted the attention of defense lawyers. The lawyer said that there are several registration forms and search transcripts of temporarily detained and sealed items on different dates in the file, but there is only one search warrant. The prosecutor admitted that the investigation organ only transferred a search warrant.

  According to the lawyer, the investigators of many of the aforementioned lists are cadres of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the witnesses are prosecutors handling cases. According to the judicial interpretation, the case-handling personnel should not be witnesses.

  Yang Xuelin, a lawyer of Beijing Shouxin Law Firm, pleaded not guilty to Chen Yichao. He believes that Chen Yichao does not have a Beijing hukou, and buying a car is only under the name of Liu Wenge, the former deputy general manager of CITIC Gold Company, not a bribe; Chen Yichao didn’t seek illegal benefits, and Liu Wenge didn’t provide substantial help to Chen before the company was transformed into a private enterprise.

  The prosecutor insisted that the facts of Chen Yichao’s bribery crime were clear and the evidence was indeed sufficient.

  In fact, even if he was acquitted, more than four years ago, Chen Yichao’s tens of millions of property had been transferred to the name of the case-handling unit or individual. Legally, these properties were at least once owned by others.

  On the morning of April 14, Chen Yichao and his defense lawyer proposed to check and identify the money and goods involved, such as the transfer of the temporarily detained vehicle and the vehicle odometer, to determine whether the vehicle has been used after being temporarily detained. They also want to check whether the detained cigarettes and alcohol were originally purchased by Chen Yichao.

  When the presiding judge asked the public prosecutor for advice, the public prosecutor did not object.

  Professor Li Chengyan told reporters that many people reported that some corruption control departments, such as customs, made a fortune because of their governance. "Sometimes, it is right to confiscate the money and goods involved, but where the money flows is a new problem. Some are distributed internally, and some even take it for resale. "

  However, on the morning of April 15, Chen Yichao made his final statement, and the defense lawyer asked the court to arrange to check the money and materials involved, but the prosecutor refused, and the defense lawyer then protested.

  After a 10-minute recess, the presiding judge relayed the prosecutor’s reply after asking the leaders of the procuratorate: the procuratorate did not agree to show the money and materials involved in the case in court, nor did it agree to arrange for on-site inspection.
