Spring Festival: a young and ancient festival

  Author: Zhang Bo (researcher, Institute of Beijing Studies, Beijing Union University)

  "Hundred years first, four seasons spring first." Spring Festival is a traditional New Year in Chinese.

  The Spring Festival is the original culture of the Chinese nation, but it is not the exclusive culture of the Chinese nation. As early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Spring Festival had spread to East Asian countries. In recent years, with the increasing spread and influence of Chinese civilization, people in more countries and regions have fallen in love with the Spring Festival, celebrated it, and even listed it as their own legal holiday. On December 22nd, 2023, the 78th UN General Assembly adopted a resolution by consensus, which designated the Spring Festival (Lunar New Year) as a UN holiday, and the Year of China went further to the world. This not only makes Chinese excellent traditional culture better benefit mankind, but also provides stronger support and motivation for the continuation of the Spring Festival.

   1. From "Lunar New Year’s Day" to "Spring Festival"

  At the beginning of the founding of the Republic of China in 1912, the Gregorian calendar era was adopted in order to connect with the west. Since then, there have been two New Year phenomena in China. January 1st of the Gregorian calendar is the New Year, and the first day of the first lunar month is also the New Year. In 1914, Yuan Shikai’s government made a put in order of traditional festivals, and renamed the Lunar New Year’s Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Winter Solstice Festival as Spring Festival, Summer Festival, Autumn Festival and Winter Festival respectively, thus forming a complete festival sequence of spring, summer, autumn and winter. For more than 100 years, four festivals have been passed down, but among the four new festival names, only "Spring Festival" has been recognized by the people and become the standard name of the Lunar New Year.

  In different contexts, the Spring Festival often has different meanings. Sometimes it only refers to the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, which marks the coming of the new year. In history, there are many sayings such as "the first month of the first month", "Zhengdan", "Zhengri", "Yuanzheng", "New Year’s Day", "Sanyuan", "Zhengchao" and "Yuanchen". But more often, the Spring Festival is equivalent to what we often call "Chinese New Year" and "Chinese New Year", which is the sum of a series of festivals with the year-end and the beginning of the year as the core and around the annual cycle. "One night is even two years old, and the five are divided into two years." Chinese New Year takes New Year’s Eve as the dividing line, including year-end and early year. The year-end activities take the busy year as the theme, and the early year as the theme, which mainly includes the New Year, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day (the first day of the first month), Lantern Festival, etc. It is a happy and peaceful festive day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

   2. Coming from the depths of history

  As the first year of the year, the origin of the Spring Festival is closely related to the formation of the concept of "year", and the formation of the concept of "year" is inseparable from the progress of the calendar.

  As a method of arranging years, months and days, there are three kinds of calendars in astronomical sense, namely, solar calendar, lunar calendar and yin-yang calendar. To put it simply, the solar calendar takes the tropic year (the period of the earth’s revolution around the sun, and the modern measured value is about 365.2422 days) as the basic period, with 365 days in a normal year and 366 days in a leap year, such as the current Gregorian calendar. The lunar calendar is based on the first lunar month (the cycle of moon phases changing), and 12 months make up a year, which is 354 days or 355 days. Now Arab countries use the lunar calendar. In China, as early as the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, a combined calendar of yin and yang was formed, which took into account the tropic year and the first lunar month. According to the Book of Yao Dian in Shangshu, Emperor Yao appointed wise men from the Xihe and Heshi families to observe the movement of the sun, the moon and the stars, master its laws, and teach the people the time. "There are six days in three hundred and sixty years, and the leap month will set the age at four o’clock." It shows that at that time, it has been able to determine that a year is 366 days, and it can adjust Yin and Yang by setting leap months, so that each month conforms to the changes of the moon’s profit and loss, and each year conforms to the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

  Before Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, "Nian" had different names. "Er Ya Shi Tian" records: "Xia Yue Sui, Shang Yue Si, Zhou Yue Nian, Tang Yu Yue Zai." Among them, the original meaning of "Nian" is the bumper harvest of crops, and Oracle Bone Inscriptions’s word "Nian" is the pictograph of people carrying grain. Shuowen says, "Year is ripe." When the grain is ripe once a year, people take the period of grain maturity as a time unit, which is called year. With the concept of "year", we can also determine the beginning of the year.

  The ancients in China attached great importance to the beginning of time, and thought it was of fundamental significance to the construction of order. As the saying goes, "The beginning is the end, but the order is not perfect". Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties took the month of establishing Yin (January in the summer calendar), the month of establishing ugliness (December in the summer calendar) and the month of establishing children (November in the summer calendar) as their own "year beginning", which laid a time foundation for the formation of Chinese New Year customs. However, due to the lack of documentary records, it is difficult for us to know exactly how people celebrated the New Year before Xia and Shang Dynasties. By the Zhou Dynasty, rich Chinese New Year customs had been formed. The people of Zhou Dynasty began with November in the summer calendar, and the year-end sacrifice, celebration and auspicious activities in the first month constituted the basic contents of the New Year at that time.

  Year-end sacrifice is a series of ceremonies including wax sacrifice and La Worship, which not only rewards various gods, but also misses and gives thanks to ancestors.

  About the wax sacrifice, there is a detailed account in the Book of Rites. The purpose of wax sacrifice is mainly to repay the blessing of the gods. The so-called "ancient gentleman will repay it". The objects of sacrifice mainly include: Xian Si (Shennong), Si Si (Hou Ji), Baigu (the seeds of Baigu), Nong (the agricultural official who manages farming and teaches agricultural technology), postal list (the temporary place where the farmland official who supervises farming lives and field signs), animals (such as cats and tigers), and Fang (the dam). Wax sacrifice occupied a very important position in people’s life in the pre-Qin period. The dialogue between Confucius and his disciple Zi Gong recorded in the Book of Rites Miscellaneous Notes can reflect this point: "Zi Gong is concerned with wax, and Confucius said,’ Is it a pleasure to give?’ Right:’ If all the people in a country are crazy, they will be given pleasure in the unknown.’ Although Zigong could not understand the joy of wax, the sight of "people in a country are crazy" is enough to show the great significance of wax sacrifice to the people.

  La Worship is also a year-end sacrifice, the object of which is the ancestor and the God of Five Sacrifices. The Five Sacrifices refer to doors, households, wells, stoves, and strollers. People worship them and thank them for providing important guarantees for people’s daily lives. The holding of wax festival and La Worship marked the end of agricultural production, which is of great significance to mark the transformation of life at the age of 20. After that, people will hold feasts to celebrate. What is depicted between the lines in the last chapter of The Book of Songs in July is the scene of feasting and celebrating, lively and peaceful, and happy New Year.

  In the Zhou Dynasty, New Year’s Day was often called "the auspicious day of the first month", and a grand ceremony was held in the court, in which hundreds of officials of governors appeared before the Emperor, and the Emperor held a banquet to commend and reward their contributions.

  The auspicious day of the first month is also a day to announce government decrees and laws and educate the people. The government will hang all kinds of policies and laws that need the people to know for 10 days above Wei (a tall building outside the palace gate of the emperor and vassal) for the people to see. Local officials spread all kinds of decrees to the grass-roots level of society so that everyone can check them against each other. At the beginning of the year, the Zhou Dynasty took advantage of the opportunity of the beginning of the new year and the newer years to issue decrees and promote enlightenment to ensure the orderly operation of the whole society in the new year.

  Undoubtedly, the custom of Chinese New Year was formed in the Zhou Dynasty, and the Spring Festival has experienced at least 3,000 years of life. In 104 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promulgated the taichu calendar, and re-established the month of the founding of Yin (January in the summer calendar) as the first month. As a result, January 1st in the summer calendar became the first day of the year, and the year-end year-end year-end activities were moved to a new time accordingly. After more than two thousand years, the Chinese New Year basically started on January 1st in the summer calendar, which is still the case today.

   3. Why did it last for thousands of years?

  14,500 years ago, Zong Yi, a man from the Southern Dynasty, described the custom activities of the Spring Festival at that time in the Chronicle of Jingchu: "The first day of the first month is the day of three yuan, and the Historical Records also call it the end of the month. When the cock crows, firecrackers and grass are set off before the court, so as to rid the mountain of evil spirits. All ages know that they are dressed in clothes, and they pay tribute to each other. Pepper and cypress wine and peach soup. Tu Su wine, gum tooth. Play a five-spice plate. Apply it to the powder, but take the ghost pill. One chicken each. Making a peach board is called fairy wood. Every time you drink alcohol, you start from an early age. " In this paper, it was mentioned that drinking pepper and cypress wine, drinking peach soup, drinking Tu Su wine, chewing gum, taking five spicy dishes, taking ghost pills and hanging mahogany boards on the door were all the most popular custom activities at that time, but they were not seen in today’s Spring Festival life. As for firecrackers, although they are still in use now, their shapes are quite different, and the purpose of setting off firecrackers is no longer "to repel evil spirits." This obvious difference between ancient and modern times clearly reveals the changes of the Spring Festival.

  In fact, as long as we look at the literature records of different historical periods, it is not difficult to find that the Spring Festival has been changing. Not only the customs of festivals are changing, but also the duration, broadcasting space and name of festivals are changing greatly. However, despite all the changes, the Spring Festival is not fade away. In fact, the Spring Festival has always maintained a strong vitality. It spans time and space, from the pre-Qin period to the present, and has become a long-lasting and endless cultural tradition.

  There are profound social, political and cultural reasons for the endless Spring Festival.

  First, the Spring Festival is rooted in the endless fertile soil of Chinese civilization, which is the original culture of the Chinese nation. The Chinese civilization, which has lasted for 5,000 years and has developed to this day in a national form, is the foundation for the continued existence of the Spring Festival. If Chinese civilization is compared to a leafy tree, then the Spring Festival is a beautiful flower bred by this tree. Trees grow vigorously and flowers bloom every year.

  Second, the long-term stability of the calendar and the establishment of the holiday system provide a guarantee for the inheritance of the Spring Festival. Festivals exist depending on the calendar. As mentioned earlier, three generations ago, China had formed a combined calendar of Yin and Yang, which took into account the tropic year and the first lunar month. After that, although the calendar calculation became more and more accurate, the principle of compiling the calendar was stable for a long time, which also provided conditions for the continued existence of the Spring Festival. In addition, the holiday system has also played a positive role. During the Han Dynasty, China has established a complete vacation system, giving all kinds of legal holidays to officials of all sizes, and holiday saving is an important part of it. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the holiday system was more complete, and the Chinese New Year became the longest holiday. Both Jin and Yuan dynasties followed the holiday system of the Central Plains Dynasty, with an average annual holiday of 3 days. The Qing Dynasty paid more attention to the Chinese New Year, marked by seals and seals, and the holiday lasted nearly one month. The implementation of the holiday system not only gives officials time to celebrate the New Year, but also strengthens the official recognition of this festival and guides all members of society to inherit and practice the festival.

  Third, the characteristics of sharing between the government and the people have created a huge group of Spring Festival inheritors. A large number of traditional festivals in China are not simply folk festivals, but have distinctive characteristics shared by the government and the people, especially during the New Year. Sharing between the government and the people does not only mean that the ruling class will personally participate in various customs activities of the festival like ordinary people; More importantly, the government will also hold various activities during the festival, thus making the festival an important time and space for national governance. The sharing between the government and the people in the New Year was formed as early as the Zhou Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty Meeting was a typical performance. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Yuan Dynasty has been passed down from generation to generation. At that time, on the one hand, officials from all over the country, civil and military officials, royalty and relatives in Beijing, as well as foreign envoys, will greet the emperor and present gifts; On the other hand, the emperor rewarded bureaucratic ministers by giving things and feasts, so as to establish the legitimacy of political power, build a harmonious and warm relationship between monarch and minister, and safeguard the unity of the country. The survival of the festival depends on someone celebrating the festival. The more people celebrate the festival, the stronger the vitality of the festival. The Spring Festival has always been a festival shared by the government and the people, and there are many people who celebrate it. Various etiquette and custom activities bear rich cultural connotations and endow the Spring Festival with multiple functions. After a long period of accumulation, the Spring Festival has formed a very rich custom activities, such as offering sacrifices to the stove, ancestor worship, sweeping the house, busy New Year, New Year greetings, putting up Spring Festival couplets, wearing new clothes, setting off firecrackers, visiting temple fairs, enjoying flower lanterns, walking on stilts, boating, feasting and partying, and dancing lions and dragons. Among them, there are exquisite manners, food and clothing, social interaction and entertainment activities.All these bear the values and ideal demands of the Chinese nation, such as reverence for nature, respect for ancestors, gratitude and gratitude, family reunion, social harmony and harmony in the world. By participating in it, people coordinate the relationship between heaven and man, renew social relations, and adjust the individual’s physical and mental relations, so that the Spring Festival has important functions such as strengthening the emotional connection between individuals and their families, hometowns, places and countries, enhancing community awareness and promoting social harmony, thus being deeply embedded in the social structure and becoming a cultural tradition that members of society cannot abandon.

  Fourth, the constantly updated, open and inclusive Spring Festival culture continues to empower the inheritance of the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is not a rigid and closed cultural system, it changes with time and adapts to local conditions. Throughout history, people in different dynasties always developed custom activities in line with the characteristics of their own times. People in the southern dynasties burned firecrackers to avoid evil spirits, while contemporary people used gunpowder firecrackers to express their joy and blessing for the arrival of the new year; In the 1980s, people liked to send New Year cards, but today, it is fashionable for people to pay New Year greetings through WeChat. Looking at the whole country, people in different places always make full use of their natural environment and human conditions to create custom activities with local characteristics by visiting temple fairs in Beijing, flower markets in Guangzhou and flower lanterns in Zigong, and making cakes in jiaozi in the north and in the south.

  Prosperous for the New Year. Spring Festival culture contains the ideal of human common life, such as material abundance, social harmony and spiritual abundance, and carries the common values of family harmony, social tolerance and harmonious coexistence between man and nature, which is the fundamental reason why it can go to the world. Going to the world, the Spring Festival is bound to inherit and develop in cultural exchanges and mutual learning.

The shape design of Greer is slightly different, mainly reflected in the shape of taillights.

  Long wheelbase brings more space performance:Greer is actually a modern brand-new Grand SantaFE. In order to distinguish it from imported brand-new Shengda, Hyundai decided to give this version a brand-new Chinese name, and the highlight of this model is that the wheelbase of the car body is lengthened (increased by 100mm) compared with the standard version, reaching 2800mm, which gives it a good space performance.

  In the actual editing experience, it is found that the performance of Greer’s sitting space has been significantly improved after the wheelbase has been lengthened. From the above figure, it is found that the same experiencer has more leg space in the second row, while Greer’s third row can also ride an adult with a height of 1.8 meters in a normal sitting position. On the whole, the performance of Greer’s sitting space in the third row is relatively narrow on the brand-new Shengda.

  Three kinds of power are available, including gasoline and diesel engines:Compared with the imported brand-new Shengda, Greer has more power options, in which the maximum output power of 2.2T is 197 HP (145kW) and the peak torque is 436N·m;; 3.0L can output 264 horsepower (194kW) and the maximum torque is 306N·m;; The power of the 3.3L engine is 286 HP (210kW) and the peak torque is 337 N m.. In the transmission part, all three engines are matched with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. In addition, all the Gretel systems use a four-wheel drive system.

● Basic parameters:

  Hyundai Gretel has a length, width and height of 4,915/1,885/1,695 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,800 mm. The comfort version uses tires with a size of 235/60 R18, while the luxury and flagship versions use tires with a size of 235/55 R19.

  Hyundai’s brand-new Shengda long wheelbase version was first launched at the Los Angeles Auto Show at the end of November 2012. Hyundai Motor launched this version to replace its previous position. Subsequently, this new model also made its debut in China this year, and the three rows of seats in the car can still show the characteristics of relatively abundant seating space, which has attracted the attention of consumers in China. At the beginning of July, Hyundai Motor announced that the new long-wheelbase version of Shengda was called Greer in Chinese, and decided to announce its listing in China on July 18th.

● Competitors:

"Left:, right:"

  In terms of competitors, Hyundai Gretel is close to the brand-new Shengda, including Highlander and Souranto equivalent products. However, the models of Gretel and rival PK will focus on the three-row and seven-seat versions of competing products. Although the brand-new Shengda also has seven versions to choose from before, there is no obvious advantage in seating space compared with its competitors. The launch of Gretel will greatly improve this aspect. Compared with the price, Greer is still slightly higher than its competitors due to imported sales and richer configuration.

Summary:

  With the development of the automobile market, the demand for 7-seater is gradually expanding, and at the same time, consumers in China also have high requirements for riding space, so the introduction of Hyundai Greer will become an outstanding player in this market segment, and its rich configuration and power combination can also provide users with personalized needs. If you have a high car purchase budget, Greer is definitely a 7-seater SUV worth recommending. (Compile/car home Xingyu)

How does Spring Festival travel rush drive in an orderly way? Listen to the traffic police.

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 18th Question: How does Spring Festival travel rush drive in an orderly way? Listen to the traffic police.

  Xinhua News Agency reporters Ren Qinqin, Lu Chang and Sun Liangquan

  The scale of cross-regional personnel mobility has obviously increased, with the increase of self-driving passenger trips, the increase of trunk road traffic, and the substantial increase of returning home from work, traveling, visiting relatives and friends … … How can Spring Festival travel rush’s self-driving trips be staggered in an orderly way in 2023? The reporter interviewed the traffic control department and the front-line traffic police to help you.

  The traffic control departments of many places interviewed by the reporter predict that the road traffic trip in Spring Festival travel rush will show the characteristics of staged high-level operation, short-term concentration before and after the festival, and tidal spatial and temporal distribution.

  Specifically, before the Spring Festival, the national high-speed travel was relatively scattered. Three days before the start of the holiday, from January 18 to 20, the passenger flow returning home before the holiday was concentrated. Affected by people’s purchasing of new year’s goods, leisure shopping, short-distance visits to relatives and friends, etc., traffic flow concentration and vehicle queues are prone to occur around local goods markets, bustling business districts and passenger stations.

  Three days after the Spring Festival holiday, from January 25th to 27th, it is estimated that the first wave of returning to the city will be ushered in, with the peak on the 27th and the congestion period from 14: 00 to 19: 00. At that time, the traffic pressure around the expressway and urban expressway and the passenger station will increase. There will be a small return peak on February 6 after the Lantern Festival.

  On January 7th, Beijing traffic police carried out Spring Festival travel rush security work around Dujiakan toll station of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway. Photo courtesy of respondents

  Hai Wang, a traffic policeman from Beijing Traffic Management Bureau, said that during the Spring Festival holiday, the toll of passenger cars was reduced on expressways. It is expected that citizens going to Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and other provinces will also choose to travel by road. The Beijing-Tibet Expressway, Jingcheng Expressway, Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, Daguang Expressway and Jingha Expressway are prone to short-term traffic and slow driving, and the traffic flow is large from January 24 to 26.

  "In 2023, the scale of personnel mobility in Spring Festival travel rush will show a rapid recovery trend, especially in domestic tourist cities, and there will be a peak of people and vehicles." Lin Bingcong, member of the Party Committee of the Traffic Police Detachment of Xiamen Public Security Bureau and a first-class senior police sergeant, analyzed that Xiamen once again became a popular tourist destination in China during the New Year’s Day this year. During the Spring Festival travel rush period, especially during the Spring Festival holiday, Xiamen will continue the trend of high tourists. It is expected that the road traffic around the scenic spot will peak between January 22 and 27; It was not until after the Lantern Festival that it began to return to normal.

  Zhang Yongjie, squadron leader of Xiadi Squadron of Traffic Police Brigade of Jishan County Public Security Bureau, said that the rallies and temple fairs during the Lantern Festival have increased the pressure on urban areas and rural roads in major counties and townships. One week before the end of Spring Festival travel rush, colleges and universities started classes one after another, and the traffic flow of students returning to school and going out to work was superimposed, and the traffic flow of urban expressway sections, urban areas, county and city passenger stations and surrounding roads increased.

  What should I pay attention to when traveling by car? Lin Bingcong believes that before traveling, it is necessary to obtain the epidemic situation of the destination, the weather conditions and traffic flow at the passing place in time, and pay attention to the distribution of expressway service areas along the way, the setting of charging piles, meteorological and road conditions information; Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle to ensure that the vehicle chassis, tires, braking system, lights and other key components are in good condition, tripods, flash sticks, fire extinguishers and other safety facilities are complete, and refuse to take the vehicle "sick" on the road; It is necessary to face up to the fact that driving skills have been unfamiliar since the epidemic, do a good job of physical and psychological recovery before going out, and advocate suspending travel before eliminating the risk of infection or when symptoms such as fever appear.

  Zhang Yongjie reminded that the number of minibuses, road passenger transport and tourist passenger transport in Spring Festival travel rush increased this year, and the phenomenon of mixed passenger and freight traffic was prominent. Some drivers turned from long-term low-load operation to normal state, which increased the risk of traffic accidents because of their inadaptability to vehicles and roads, so they needed to pay special attention to driving safety.

  In response to the actual travel needs of the masses, local traffic control departments will rely on media such as traffic radio, television, Internet, Weibo, WeChat, etc. to timely announce traffic flow prediction and diversion and bypass plans, so as to ensure safe and smooth roads during Spring Festival travel rush and create a safe, smooth and harmonious travel environment for the masses to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Grass-roots river chiefs still pay attention to the management of the water pipe river during the holiday, and the Spring Festival is no exception.

On the morning of New Year’s Day, many people were still asleep after the reunion on New Year’s Eve. Zhang Chu Town, secretary of the Party branch of Ximei Village, Gurao Town, Chaoyang District, Shantou City, and the village-level river chief of Gurao River, got up early and drove from home to patrol the river next to Gurao River, a secondary tributary of Lianjiang River, as usual. "I’m worried that the firecrackers and scraps of paper set off by the villagers will fly into the river, so I must come and have a look."

During the Spring Festival, Zhang Chu Town is far more than the only one that is worried about the length of the river governing the water pipe.

At the end of last year, the provincial pollution prevention and control tough battle headquarters issued the first order, calling for a special campaign to comprehensively attack the inferior V national examination sections, resolutely prevent the addition of inferior V national examination sections, and basically eliminate inferior V national examination sections in 2020. Including Lianjiang and other inferior V water bodies. At the same time, there are more than 38,000 five-level rivers and lakes in our province, and the total number of them is more than 150,000, plus the river length and river patrol set up by villagers’ groups. Go deep into the main tributaries, realize the full coverage of rivers and lakes in the province, earnestly perform their duties, drive all walks of life to work together, and implement water control at the ends of twigs, which has become a powerful starting point for Guangdong to fight hard for clear water.

The director of Raoxi River in Lianjiang Valley and the project personnel stick to their posts.

In the mobile phone of Zhang Chu Town, the reporter saw the information such as the time, place and walking track of his river patrol in Guraoxi on the platform of "Guangdong Wisdom River Chief". "I basically go for a walk every day." As the river chief at the grass-roots level, Zhang Chu Town admits that it has become his working habit to "patrol the river when he has nothing to do" in recent years, and the Spring Festival is no exception.

Guraoxi is the main river for flood discharge and drainage in Gurao Town, and it is also a secondary tributary with heavy pollution in Chaoyang section of Shantou in Lianjiang River Basin, which flows into the main stream of Lianjiang River through Beigang River. In July last year, illegal buildings on both sides of Guraoxi River that had occupied rivers and polluted directly for decades were demolished one after another, and now Guraoxi River has become much wider and cleaner. However, the work of pipe network construction and village appearance cleaning still needs to be continuously promoted.

"In the past Spring Festival, the domestic garbage in the village will increase a lot." Zhang Chu Town told reporters that in addition to patrolling the river, he also focused on the sanitation work in the village: the village committee contracted the daily cleaning work to the cleaning staff at a monthly rate of 13,000 yuan, and then they hired their own people to do it together. Now this work has been brought into normal management.

Not only is the river chief busy, but the construction unit of the second phase project of Gurao Sewage Treatment Plant also has employees sticking to their posts. Huang Chuwen, a member of the Party Committee of Gurao Town, told the reporter that on the first day of the New Year’s Day, there were still 11 employees at the construction site of the second phase of Gurao Sewage Treatment Plant who gave up the Spring Festival holiday and fought for the front line. Most of them come from Hunan, Sichuan and other places, and stick to their posts only to ensure the steady progress of infrastructure equipment installation and pipe network laying in the factory.

Village-level river chiefs in Xiaodongjiang Town, Maoming patrol the river for 3 hours every day.

Not only Lianjiang, but also Xiaodongjiang, a tributary of Jianjiang, is also tackling the problem of eliminating inferior V water bodies.

"According to the goal set by the province, efforts should be made to improve the Xiaodongjiang River from the inferior V water body to the V water body this year." Xie Kairong, who is patrolling the river near Xiaodongjiang, said. Xie Kairong is the party secretary and township-level river chief of Aotou Town, Maonan District, Maoming City. Since the third day of the year, the town and village river chiefs in Aotou Town have been patrolling the river every day. "Patrol the river for about 3 hours every day to see if the river is clean, and also remind children playing by the river to pay attention to safety." Since the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xie Kairong has toured the reaches of Meihuajiang, Xiaodongjiang and Helinhe. During the Spring Festival, many rural sages also returned to their hometowns. Xie Kairong took this opportunity to mobilize rural sages to donate money and contribute to water control.

Not only the long river patrol, but also the means of sewage treatment and ecological restoration are applied to the treatment of Xiaodongjiang River. During the Spring Festival, in Pengcun Lake, Maonan District, Maoming City, canna and other plants are flourishing in an artificial wetland covering an area of more than 20 mu. The construction party, Huang Gong of Shenzhen Biyuan Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., is starting the grid machine to separate the garbage flowing into the wetland water. Huang Gong said that he was on duty in the wetland during the Spring Festival. "We are stepping up the acceptance of this project and strive to complete the acceptance and handover in March this year, which will have an early effect."

The filtered water from Pengcun Lake constructed wetland finally flows into Xiaodongjiang River, effectively improving the water quality of Shi Bi section of Xiaodongjiang River. Next, around Pengcun Lake, Maoming will also build 57 village-level sewage treatment stations to further reduce the sewage discharge in villages and towns.

In Maoming, another national examination section-Jianjiang Jiangkoumen section, Huazhou city in the upper reaches is also stepping up governance. In the high and low drainage channels of the Maoling River in Huazhou, 27 container-sized tanks are neatly stacked into two floors like building blocks, and the tanks are connected by large and small pipes, making it a sewage treatment plant with a treatment capacity of 30,000 tons. On-site personnel Huang Zhenlin and Hu Yu are checking the operation of the equipment. They are also on duty in the factory during the Spring Festival. "We two take turns and are on duty 24 hours a day."

Wu Haoguang, director of the Environmental Protection Bureau of Huazhou City, said that in order to ensure that the cross section of the downstream river mouth reaches the standard, Huazhou City invested nearly 60 million yuan to install and operate this integrated intensive treatment facility beside the high and low drainage channels. The monitoring data show that the main pollutants such as ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus in the water quality of Jiangkoumen section have dropped significantly since last year. "This year has had a very good start. Now the water quality of Jiangkoumen section has reached Class III or above, and most indicators have reached Class I and Class II or above. Jianjiang water quality is expected to reach the best in recent years."

Former Chairman of China Association for Science and Technology: Qian Xuesen

Topic: China vigorously introduces overseas high-level talents.

  Qian Xuesen is a modern scientist in China, a world-famous rocket expert, an expert in engineering cybernetics in China, a system engineering expert and a system science thinker. A native of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, was born in Shanghai on December 11th, 1911. He graduated from Jiaotong University in 1934, went to study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1935, got a master’s degree the following year, and then transferred to California Institute of Technology for further study under the guidance of tutor T.von Carmen. After receiving his doctorate in 1938, he stayed in school to teach and engaged in rocket and missile research. From 1947 to 1955, he was a professor at MIT and California Institute of Technology. After returning to China in 1955, he served as a member of the Aviation Committee, vice president and dean of the Fifth Research Institute of the Ministry of National Defense, president of the China Academy of Space Technology, vice minister of the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry, deputy director of the National Defense Science and Technology Committee, and deputy director of the Science and Technology Committee of the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Committee. Joined the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 1959. In 1991, he served as honorary chairman of China Association for Science and Technology.


  Qian Xuesen’s monographs include Engineering Cybernetics, Lectures on Physical Mechanics, Introduction to Interstellar Navigation and On System Engineering. More than 50 of his academic papers have been published in American journals and more in domestic journals. Qian Xuesen is a member of the Department of Mathematical Physics of China Academy of Sciences, honorary chairman of China Aerospace Society and vice chairman of China Association for Science and Technology.


  Qian Xuesen served as the technical leader of China’s rocket and space program for a long time, and made great and pioneering contributions to space technology, system science and system engineering.


  1. Applied mechanics


  Qian Xuesen has done pioneering work in aerodynamics and solid mechanics of applied mechanics.


  With feng? Carmen’s cooperative research on compressible boundary layer reveals some temperature changes in this field and establishes Carmen-Qian Xuesen method. In cooperation with Guo Yonghuai, the concept of upper and lower critical Mach numbers was first introduced into transonic flow.


  2. Jet Propulsion and Space Technology


  From the 1940s to the early 1960s, Qian Xuesen put forward some important concepts in the field of rockets and aerospace: in the 1940s, he put forward and realized the rocket-assisted takeoff device (JATO), which shortened the runway distance; In 1949, the concept of rocket passenger plane and the idea of nuclear rocket were put forward. In 1953, the possibility of interplanetary flight theory was studied; In the Introduction to Interstellar Navigation published in 1962, the concept of a round-trip transportation system between heaven and earth was put forward, in which a large plane with a jet engine was used as the first-stage vehicle and an aircraft with a rocket engine was used as the second-stage vehicle.


  3. Engineering cybernetics


  In the process of its formation, engineering cybernetics takes the engineering practice of designing stability and guidance system as the main research object. Qian Xuesen himself is the pioneer of this kind of research work.


  4. Physical mechanics


  In 1946, Qian Xuesen combined the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of rare gas, which was a pioneering work. In 1953, he formally put forward the concept of physical mechanics, and advocated that the macroscopic mechanical properties of matter should be determined from the microscopic laws, changing the previous method of measuring mechanical properties only by experiments, which greatly saved manpower and material resources and opened up new fields of high temperature and high pressure. In 1961, his Lectures on Physical Mechanics was officially published. Now the leader of this science is Professor Gou Qingquan. In 1984, Qian Xuesen suggested to Gou Qingquan that physical mechanics should be extended to the engineering technology of atomic and molecular design.


  5. System engineering


  Qian Xuesen not only refined the practice of China’s aerospace system engineering into the theory of aerospace system engineering, but also put forward the concept of the overall design department of national economic construction in the early 1980s. He also persisted in popularizing and applying the concept of aerospace system engineering to the whole country and national economic construction, and discussed the social system from the perspective of social form and open complex giant system.


  6. System science


  Qian Xuesen’s most important contribution to systems science is that he developed systematics and methodology of open complex giant systems.


  7. Thinking science


  (1) In the early 1980s, Qian Xuesen proposed to establish a department of thinking science and technology. He believed that thinking science is a science dealing with consciousness and brain, spirit and matter, subjective and objective, and it is a major department of modern science and technology. It is the need of computer technology revolution that promotes the scientific research of thinking.


  (2) Qian Xuesen advocated that the development of thinking science should be combined with the work of artificial intelligence and intelligent computers. Based on his personal experience in the development of applied mechanics, he pointed out that the study of artificial intelligence and intelligent computers should take applied mechanics as a reference, take the road of integrating theory with practice and actually need theoretical guidance. He also believes that the establishment of thinking in images is a breakthrough in current thinking science research, and it is also the core issue of artificial intelligence and intelligent computers.


  (3) Qian Xuesen applied the systematic scientific method to the research of thinking science, and put forward the systematic view of thinking, that is, first, based on the thinking process of logical units, he gradually built a first-order thinking system with a single thinking type, that is, he built abstract thinking, image (intuitive) thinking, social thinking and unique thinking (inspirational thinking). The second is to solve the problem of second-order thinking open large-scale system; Finally, the decision-making consultation high-order thinking open giant system.


  8. Human science


  Qian Xuesen put forward the theory of "human functional state" to describe the human body, an open complex giant system, and to study the structure, function and behavior of the system. Qian Xuesen is an advocate of physical science in Chinese.


  9. Science and technology system and Marxist philosophy


  Qian Xuesen believes that Marxist philosophy is the highest generalization of human understanding of the objective world and modern science and technology (including scientific social science). Qian Xuesen summarized the development of contemporary science and technology into ten closely related science and technology departments. The division method of these ten science and technology departments is another innovation of Qian Xuesen’s scientific classification method by applying Marxist philosophy, especially system theory. anecdote


  1. The soul is Chinese childlike innocence.


  "I have always believed that I will be able to return to my motherland. Today, I finally came back!" This is a very emotional remark made by Qian Xuesen, a famous scientist and rocket expert in China, to the comrades of China Travel Agency who received him when he returned to Guangzhou from the United States on October 8, 1995. He returned to China with his wife and two young children.


  In August 1935, Qian Xuesen went to the United States to study and study aviation engineering and aerodynamics as a publicly funded international student. Before returning to China, he served as director of supersonic laboratory of California Institute of Technology and director of Guggenheim Jet Propulsion Research Center.


  On October 1st, 1949, Mr. and Mrs. Qian Xuesen celebrated this festival with more than a dozen overseas students from China. While enjoying the moon, they poured out their feelings, rejoiced at the birth of the motherland and were full of longing for the bright future of the motherland. At this time, Qian Xuesen had a strong desire to return to the motherland at an early date and serve the country with his own expertise.


  In July 1950, the US government decided to disqualify Qian Xuesen from participating in confidential research on the grounds that he had a friend relationship with Weinbaum, and accused Qian Xuesen of being an illegal immigrant from party member, communist party, USA. These groundless accusations were all rejected by Qian Xuesen. However, Qian Xuesen couldn’t stand all this and decided to return to his motherland immediately on the grounds of visiting relatives, ready to never return. He met with US Navy undersecretary kimble, who was in charge of his research work, and solemnly declared to kimble that he was ready to leave for home immediately. Kimble was shocked after hearing this.


  Unconsciously, Qian Xuesen made all the preparations for returning to China, went through the formalities for returning to China, bought a plane ticket from Canada to Hong Kong, and handed over the luggage to the handling company for shipment.


  However, just two days before their family planned to leave Los Angeles, that is, at midnight on August 23, 1950, they suddenly received a notice from the Immigration Bureau that they were not allowed to leave the United States. At the same time, the US Customs detained all Qian Xuesen’s luggage.


  Qian Xuesen was forced to return to California Institute of Technology, and the FBI sent someone to monitor his family and all his actions. Far from it, on September 6, Qian Xuesen was suddenly illegally detained by the FBI and sent to the Immigration Detention Center for detention.


  After Qian Xuesen was detained for no reason, the teachers and students of California Institute of Technology and Qian Xuesen’s teacher Feng? Carmen and some American friendly people protested strongly to the Immigration Bureau, found a defense lawyer for him, and raised $15,000 bail to bail Qian Xuesen out.


  From then on, Qian Xuesen continued to be persecuted by the Immigration Bureau. His actions were restricted by the Immigration Bureau and monitored by FBI agents. He was not allowed to leave Los Angeles where he lived, and he was regularly questioned. Qian Xuesen lost his freedom for five years.


  然而,钱学森挚爱祖国的赤子之心反而更加炽热。他日夜思念着新中国,他坚持斗争,不断地向移民局提出离开美国回国的要求。1954年用英文写出30多万字的《工程控制论》。实际上,工程控制论与生产自动化、与电子计算机的研制和运用、与国防建设都密切相关,只不过当时美国当局没有认识到这点就是了。


  钱学森返回祖国的斗争,也得到祖国的关怀和支持。1954年4月26日,印度支那国际会议期间,中国代表团秘书长王炳南与美国代表团负责人亚?约翰逊分别代表两国政府开始关于平民回国问题的接触。在接触中,王炳南特别指出,美国正在阻挠许多旅居美国的中国人返回中国,其中包括科学家钱学森。


  1955年6月的一天,钱学森摆脱特务监视,在寄给在比利时亲威的信中,夹带了一封书写在香烟纸上、给全国人大常委会副委员长陈叔通的信,请求祖国帮助他早日回国。陈叔通先生收到信的当天,就把它送到周恩来总理手里。1955年8月1日中美大使级会谈在瑞士日内瓦进行,王炳南大使按照周总理的授意,以钱学森要求回国的这封信为依据,与美方交涉,迫使美国政府允许钱学森离美回国。


  1955年9月17日,钱学森与他的夫人和两个幼儿终于乘坐美国“克利夫兰总统号”邮船,离开了洛杉矶,驶向地处东方的祖国。


  2.坚定的马克思主义者


  1989年8月7日,中共中央总书记江泽民和国务院总理李鹏会见了钱学森,祝贺他获得1989年国际技术与技术交流大会授予的奖励和称号,认为“钱老获得这样的荣誉是当之无愧的。这不仅是钱老个人的光荣,也是中国的光荣,是中国科学技术工程人员的光荣”;钱学森的经历,“体现了一位中国知识分子所走过的曲折道路,也集中表现了中国知识分子的光辉品德”。


  1981年秋至1982年夏,钱学森同中国社会科学院一位朋友的多次通信,是他品格的一个方面的真实生动的写照。


  钱学森是一位自觉的马克思主义者。他在给一位朋友的信中说:“我近30年来一直在学习马克思主义哲学,并总是试图用马克思主义哲学指导我的工作。马克思主义哲学是智慧的源泉!而且一个马克思主义者是绝不会不爱人民的,绝不会不爱国的。”


  After Qian Xuesen left the United States in 1955, he never went there again. In 1979, his alma mater, California Institute of Technology, awarded him the title of "Outstanding Alumni", in June 1986, the Southern California Chinese Scientists and Engineers Association awarded him an award, and in 1989, the International Technology and Technology Exchange Conference awarded him an award in new york, but he didn’t go. Qian Xuesen has a very friendly feeling for the American people and American scientists. For what reason does he think that he will never set foot on American soil again in this life? In 1985, an American friend told a leader in the State Council, China, about Qian Xuesen’s visit to the United States: "In the case of the US Immigration Bureau, money may have been deport at the beginning, so it must go through some kind of Amnesty procedure to enter the country. This is where you and Ambassador Han must come forward. If you really do this, you have to plead with the US government, or invisibly admit that their original measures are correct. This will not be satisfactory in Qian’s heart. " In a letter to a leading comrade in the State Council, China on March 9, 1985, Qian Xuesen gave a very frank answer: "It is not suitable for me to go to the United States. ….. The fact is that if I go to America now, I will’ prove’ many completely wrong things, which is not what I should do. For example, I am not forced to return to my motherland by the US government; As early as 1935, before I left the motherland, I promised my classmate Dai Zhongfu, an underground party member, that I would return to serve the motherland after my studies. My decision to return to China is my own business, and I have made preparations since 1949. ….. I think this is a question of right and wrong, and I can’t be silent.History cannot be distorted. Qian Xuesen’s character on this issue is exactly what General Secretary Jiang Zemin praised for his "high national self-esteem, national self-confidence and national integrity".


  3. The bearer of the scientific torch


  Qian Xuesen has always insisted on writing neat letters to young people asking for advice, and has always insisted on discussing problems and refining ideas with scientists in many disciplines with neat letters. Letters are a way for Qian Xuesen to publicize his belief in Marxist philosophy, guide scientific research with Marxist philosophy, and absorb scientific achievements to continuously deepen and develop Marxist philosophy. In a letter to He Zuoxiu, Qian Xuesen said: "The philosophical problem of quantum mechanics has been arguing for more than 50 years and has not been solved. Recently, Bell inequality has been verified, and the problem has become more serious. I think our physicists and philosophers in China should devote themselves to this research, solve it satisfactorily and develop Marxist philosophy in the process. "


  From January 7th, 1986, Qian Xuesen personally led the scientific activities of "Systematic Seminar". The young and middle-aged scientists who participated in the seminar were from China Academy of Sciences, Peking University, Beijing Normal University, China Renmin University, China Academy of Social Sciences, Ministry of Aerospace Industry and other units. At the beginning of the seminar, Qian Xuesen proposed to this group of young and middle-aged scientists that we should absorb the research results of modern natural science and use it as the building material for establishing the basic science of system science and the general theory of all systems-"systematics".


  At the Second National Congress of the National Association for Science and Technology held on March 15th, 1979, Qian Xuesen put forward the idea that "the modernization of science and technology must drive the modernization of literature and art" and put forward the concept of "scientific literature and art" to enrich and develop the connotation of popular science. Qian Xuesen is a loyal listener of popular science programs in china national radio, and a long-term reader of advanced popular science magazines Scientific American in the United States and New Scientist in the United Kingdom.

Environmental protection fashion can’t play high and cold, and everyone loves to wear it to be sustainable.

When "sustainability" and "environmental protection" become one of the hottest topics in the world today, the fashion industry can’t stay out of it. Although environmental protection is a proposition that all mankind should actively respond to, whether to buy and wear environmentally-friendly fashion is purely a personal choice. What kind of environmentally friendly fashion can please most people?

"Useless" implementation of cotton and linen coarse clothes

        At present, designers like Stella McCatney, who are vegetarian, and brands such as MUJI Muji, which focus on pollution-free images, are vigorously practicing environmental protection in the fashion industry. For fashion consumers who don’t like them, this kind of brand with minimalist design looks a bit out of touch, which makes people feel cold and distant.

        What kind of environmentally friendly fashion do you prefer to buy?

        This spring, H&M released a new season’s limited series of environmental conscious actions-this is not a big news. Many people once took a bag of old clothes to H&M’s store, threw them into their white recycling bins, and then exchanged them for a "encouragement" discount coupon, or "accidentally" bought several clothes with green labels at H&M-the reason why this series attracted people’s attention was that. Zhou Xun, Wang Luodan and Eileen were all photographed wearing them to attend activities or even walk the red carpet. They looked very different from the previous "plain-faced" environmentally-friendly fashions. In addition, they were limited series, and many "stars with the same style" were sold out on the day of listing. In fact, the red carpet dress has always been synonymous with "no environmental protection". Those gorgeous and luxurious evening dresses usually exist only for a stunning appearance, and the possibility of being repeatedly worn is almost zero. Fashionable women other than stars will also find that once they wear those party dresses in their closets on major occasions, they will basically be put in the cold. It is imperative for H&M to classify this kind of "disposable" fashion as "environmental conscious action".

H&M’s limited series of environmental conscious actions in the new season
Zhou Xun is dressed in H&M2015 spring environmental conscious action limited series.

        Prior to this, the well-known environmentally-friendly fashions were basically made of natural fiber fabrics, such as cotton, hemp and Tencel. This season, H&M added recycled sequins and beadwork for the first time, which told everyone that environmentally-friendly fashions can also grow secular and lovely. Veronique, the regional sustainable development manager of H&M, told the author that the public has a misunderstanding about environmentally friendly fabrics, thinking that only natural fabrics are environmentally friendly. In fact, things that can be recycled are also true. For example, we started to use recycled polyester fibers to make fluffy skirts last year, like this kind of clothes that need some hardness to support the shape, natural fibers are difficult to do. She also revealed that the brand’s next goal is to gradually dilute the boundary between the "environmental conscious series" and other product lines, and hope to adopt sustainable cotton for clothing in five years, that is to say, any cotton clothing (including jeans) you can buy at H&M at that time will be environmentally friendly fashion. I’m afraid that only brands like H&M can say such a big talk, and Swedish enterprises are indeed in the forefront of the world in environmental protection. Mary Turk, the clothing director of Stadsmission Stockholm, one of the largest second-hand chain retail stores in Stockholm, once expressed her wish to the media: "The so-called sustainable fashion should become a natural and ordinary part of life. When we no longer emphasize this concept, when it is truly integrated into our lives, it is truly recognized. "

        Who should pay for environmental fashion?

        In China, when it comes to environmental protection fashion, the most easily associated brand should be "useless". The founder Ma can promote coarse clothes made of cotton and linen and low-carbon handicrafts from the people with an image similar to that of an ascetic, and advocate "luxury poverty". What is somewhat incompatible with the "useless" simple, natural and original ecological style is its high price. Although it claims to be not a commercial brand, but a "non-profit organization dedicated to the protection of tradition and innovation of traditional folk handicrafts", it makes people wonder whether it intends to persuade everyone to make money to support a "sustainable" brand. Why should buying fashion be equated with doing charity? MUJI, who also advocates high-quality simple living, is obviously much more close to the people in terms of price. Consumers are keen to buy its products, not to show off how rich or tasteful they are (MUJI insisted on not marking the brand LOGO on the products from the beginning), but to figure out its humanized design and soft and comfortable texture, especially cotton and linen products. MUJI claims that he will go to the farm in person to communicate with the producers and use the safe and healthy cotton cultivated in the soil without pesticides and chemical fertilizers for more than three years, but it will not increase the price of the products. As one of the earliest brands that started to use organic cotton, MUJI started with baby products, and then went to underwear. Since 2010, it has been fully promoted to all product lines, and consumers may not know these things unless they ask the shop assistants or land in official website.Because MUJI did not pass on these organic cotton from India, Turkey and Tanzania as extra costs to consumers.

        It is even more impossible for brands like H&M to use eco-fashion as a marketing gimmick to raise the price (their eco-conscious action series is priced the same as other series), because their consumers are particularly sensitive to the price. Then, how are these increased costs from recycling old clothes, recycling materials, treating polluted water, and researching and developing environmental protection materials digested? Julian, the sustainable supply chain manager of H&M, said that as pioneers of cheap and fast fashion brands, they always know how to control costs. Although the income and expenditure are not balanced at present, environmental protection is a must, so they can only find ways to make environmental protection less boring. The more people are willing to consume environmental fashion in the future, the more motivated they will be to increase investment and drive the whole industry to become sustainable.

MUJI MUJI has promoted organic cotton to various product lines.

People first, unity is strength, flood control and disaster relief visit Meteorological behavior in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in heavy rain.

  Since July 4th, a new round of persistent heavy rainfall has been affecting the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River from the eastern part of southwest China, which has the characteristics of stable rain belt, long duration, large accumulated rainfall and high disaster risk.

  The water level of the river is high, can it withstand this round of rainfall? How do large-scale water conservancy projects and reservoirs in the Yangtze River basin respond to the flood challenge? Adhere to the people first, life first, and implement the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on flood control and disaster relief work with practical actions. The China Meteorological Bureau comprehensively judged the flood control situation and launched a three-level emergency response. The Central Meteorological Observatory issued the first orange rainstorm warning this year at 18: 00 on the 7 th. Meteorological departments in areas affected by heavy rainfall such as Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Shanghai and Zhejiang closely monitored the changes of rain, water and public opinion, strengthened the joint defense of up and down linkage, and effectively played the first line of defense for meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation.

  Hubei: scientifically dispatching flood interception and peak clipping

  Multiple rounds of rainstorm, multi-station water level exceeding the police, and long-term wandering of rain belt … Affected by heavy rainfall, the inflow of water in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Wujiang River and the Three Gorges area increased significantly, and the inflow of the Three Gorges Reservoir rose rapidly. At 10: 00 on July 2, the inflow rose to 50,000 cubic meters per second, and the No.1 flood of the Yangtze River in 2020 was formed in the upper reaches.

  On July 3rd, the Yangtze River Basin Meteorological Center held a tripartite federation chamber of commerce with the Three Gorges Cascade Dispatching Center and the Hydrology and Water Resources Survey Bureau in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. According to the consultation, considering flood control safety and navigation demand, the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission issued a dispatching order to temporarily reduce the outflow of the Three Gorges Reservoir to 30,000 cubic meters per second from 6: 00 on the 5th, and evacuate some ships stranded in the Three Gorges-Gezhouba section in time to ensure navigation safety. At 16: 00 on the 5th, the outflow of the Three Gorges Reservoir was restored to 35,000 cubic meters per second. At the same time, Xiluodu Hydropower Station, Xiangjiaba Reservoir and cascade reservoirs in the middle reaches of Jinsha River were dispatched to simultaneously increase the impoundment, moderately reduce the inflow of the Three Gorges, and jointly reduce the flood control pressure in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

  "Accurate rain and water regime forecasting provides a decision-making basis for the scientific operation of lakes and reservoirs in the Yangtze River basin." Tian Gang, deputy director of the hydrometeorological forecasting station of the Meteorological Center of the Yangtze River Basin, said that since the flood season, the precipitation in the Yangtze River Basin has been generally high, especially in the northern part of the middle and lower reaches. The falling area has a large swing from north to south, a wide range of heavy rainfall, high rainfall intensity and obvious local floods. By scientifically dispatching the Three Gorges Reservoir to intercept floods and cut peaks, the peak-cutting rate of the No.1 flood in 2020 is about 30%.

  Plan ahead and take action. As early as April 7th, the Meteorological Center of the Yangtze River Basin made the conclusion of rainfall forecast in the Yangtze River Basin during the main flood season this year, further developed and applied grid forecasting products with high temporal and spatial resolution, and strengthened the consultation and judgment on the fluctuating capacity and flood control dispatching of the Three Gorges Reservoir, providing strong support for the Three Gorges Reservoir to complete the fluctuating task two days ahead of schedule and vacate the flood control storage capacity of 22.15 billion cubic meters. (Li Ao)

Video: The flood control situation in the Yangtze River Basin is grim, and meteorological departments around the country have launched emergency response and fully responded.

  Hunan: defending against ground disasters by smelling the flood.

  Floods in small and medium-sized rivers have risen, landslides and roads have been interrupted … On July 5 and 6, another round of heavy rain affected the northwest of Hunan Province, and there was heavy rainfall in Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture for 10 consecutive days since June 27. The meteorological department of Hunan Province tightened the responsibility of flood control, moved at the news of the flood season, made precise efforts, and launched a "tug-of-war" with the relevant flood control departments to fully defend against geological disasters.
