Car sparring market chaos: having a driver’s license can be regarded as a lack of legal norms

Illustration Song Xi

  I got a new car, but I didn’t dare to rush on the road; I passed the driver’s license test, but I haven’t touched the car for many years … … In order not to be a "road killer", more and more novice drivers choose to go online to make an appointment with a car to familiarize themselves with driving skills quickly and enrich their practical experience. However, many people encounter the problem of sitting on the ground and starting at a price during the sparring process, and find that the guidance content is not professional, and the whole industry even has problems such as lack of standards and supervision.

  market quotations

  Fifty or sixty to more than one hundred per hour.

  With a driver’s license, you can take orders as a sparring partner.

  Seeing that the index of winning the lottery is about to expire, Xue Lin recently decided to formally join the car owners. "The reason why I didn’t buy it was actually because I didn’t dare to drive. I was afraid that it would be difficult to pick up the car and go home." Although it has been five years since I got my driver’s license, Xue Lin knows that she is still a novice with zero experience. "I was still in college when I took my driver’s license test, and I haven’t driven it since. I completely forgot how to drive the manual gear, even if it is an automatic gear. It really makes me nervous on the road. What’s more, those who learned in the driving school were all exam-oriented, and most of them relied on rote memorization and recording points. The actual road conditions were more complicated than that. "

  Open a classified information network and enter the keyword "sparring". Xue Lin quickly found a large number of related businesses. "There is a special sparring company, saying that it can provide a variety of sparring cars, charging by the model. The 10-hour class package is the most common, ranging from 50 to 60 yuan per hour on average, and it is also allowed to bring your own car. In the past, you can add money to install a secondary brake." According to the introduction on the webpage, Xue Lin found that the sparring contents of various companies are similar. "Generally, dozens of items will be listed, including basic rearview mirror adjustment and dashboard introduction, as well as various road driving characteristics such as overpass and roundabout, skills of meeting cars, merging lines and parking methods, etc., and some specially provide zero-based classes for timid women’s quick training, or develop humanized sparring courses for middle-aged and elderly people and those with driving psychological obstacles."

  Who will be the sparring partner? It is also a concern of Xue Lin. "Some are retired driving school coaches, and some are veterans, but most of them have no special qualifications or documents. At most, they have some sparring experience." In browsing and comparing, Xue Lin also found that sparring doesn’t seem to be a barrier to entry. "Some of them are purely personal, just send a mosaic driver’s license and say ‘ I have plenty of time, low fees and skillful driving skills ’ You can hang out the title of sparring and take orders independently. "

  Through consulting customer service, Xue Lin learned that different companies have great differences in terms of agreements. "Some will sign written agreements in advance to stipulate the charging standards and accident responsibilities, but the specific terms of the agreements have always been drawn up by the companies themselves, and some are only verbal promises. According to the actual situation, there is no basis for this."

  Temporary fare increase for sparring partners

  If you don’t accept it, you will be fined.

  After weighing it again and again, Xue Lin booked a 10-hour LaVida automatic sparring project in 700 yuan. "According to the customer service, the sparring staff will come to pick it up, and the company will take insurance in the process. I just need to bring my driver’s license here."

  After getting on the bus according to the agreed time, the sparring partner asked Xue Lin to get familiar with the car condition briefly, and then motioned to drive away. "Just how far away, let me stop at the roadside. I thought it was for guidance, but I didn’t expect to actually take out a price list." Xue Lin took a closer look and saw that the price above was much more expensive than what I saw on the Internet before. "Like the one I chose, it directly became 1200 yuan." In the face of Xue Lin’s doubts, the sparring staff calmly explained, "That is the basic price online. No matter what you teach, just step on the brakes when necessary. If you want to learn skills, you have to follow the list now. " Xue Lin was so angry that he immediately called the customer service. "I called five or six times, but no one answered, which made me have no way to complain."

  In fact, Xue Lin’s experience is not a case. In the recent sparring, Wang Miao also experienced a half-way fare increase. "Before leaving, the other party was quite professional, reminding me to adjust my seat and mirror and explain what details I should pay attention to on the road." However, after half an hour, Wang Miao found that the attitude of the sparring partner began to change. "The other party complained that my level was too poor, and I needed to add 500 yuan and upgrade to a VIP class package.

  Afterwards, Wang Miao found a sparring company to reflect the situation. "The other party was not surprised at all. He directly told me that if I didn’t want to upgrade, I could choose a refund, but I needed to deduct 50% of the liquidated damages, which was equivalent to being taken away from 300 yuan once."

  The sparring partner took a general sentence.

  The secondary brake is connected by a steel wire.

  In contrast, Chen Min was glad that she was not caught in a price dispute, but the guidance of the sparring partner failed to satisfy her. "At the beginning, the customer service gave me a training outline, with more than 30 items of content, large and small. I felt that I should teach it very carefully, but I didn’t follow that at all." After hitting the road, Chen Min found that the sparring partner only took a word in general and lacked maneuverability. "For example, he only said that he would adjust the rearview mirror to his comfortable angle, but how can it be comfortable?" He can’t say clearly. When merging, he asked me to pay attention to the cars coming from behind, but when is the best time to cut over? I still don’t understand, and I feel that I am fooling around. " After returning home, Chen Min searched some teaching videos on the Internet, only to know that there was a lot of stress in it. "There is no free tutorial for sparring with money."

  What makes Chen Min even more uneasy is that although the car used for sparring has a secondary brake, it looks unreliable at all. "I have carefully observed that the so-called secondary brake is not fixed on the ground like a coach car in a driving school, but the brake in the main driver’s seat is tied with a steel wire, and a pedal is also placed in the co-pilot’s seat. Even if the two sides are connected by a steel wire, the pedal in the co-pilot’s seat is not really fixed on the floor." After searching for this simple version of the secondary brake on the Internet, Chen Min was even more worried. "It is said that this kind of secondary brake is still risky. If something is blocked under the secondary brake, the brake in the main driver’s seat will also be affected. That would be terrible. A device like this should still have a professional risk assessment. "

  view

  There is no legal provision for sparring.

  It is still difficult for drivers to be excused from accidents.

  "For motor vehicle driver training, the state has special management regulations, including what conditions coaches should have, what documents they hold, etc. Teaching vehicles should meet the requirements of relevant national technical standards, and they should be equipped with auxiliary rearview mirrors, auxiliary brake pedals, fire extinguishers and other safety protection devices. Once an accident occurs, the coaches will also bear the responsibility, but the situation of sparring is completely different." Zhang Jinpeng, director of the Traffic Management and Transportation Law Committee of the Beijing Lawyers Association, said that at present, the state has not issued relevant laws or management regulations for car sparring, so there is no unified standard for reference. "From the sparring personnel, how long is the driving experience or what training is qualified? For sparring vehicles, is it legal and feasible to install the auxiliary brake pedal privately? From the content of sparring, who is in charge of how to deal with emergencies? From the perspective of sparring institutions, does the actual business conform to the scope of industrial and commercial registration? All these questions need to be answered. For this reason, the whole sparring industry is in a state of chaos. "

  Under the chaos, how to deal with potential risks and disputes? Although many sparring companies claim to have full insurance, Fan Li, director of the Automobile Drivers Working Committee of China Road Transport Association, said that this does not mean that drivers can be exempted. "Unlike driving schools, although some people sit in the co-pilot position during sparring, even the auxiliary brake pedal will be installed, the driver already holds a driver’s license. Once a major accident occurs, causing personal injury, the driver must bear the responsibility. As for how to determine the responsibility of sparring personnel, it needs to be carried out by the public security department or the court according to the agreement between the two parties.

  "Even if you really need to find a sparring partner, it is best to choose a qualified formal institution." Zhang Jinxi said, "Some driving schools can consider providing this service. After all, coaches have certain guarantees in professionalism, and there are also coaches that have been professionally modified and meet relevant technical standards, which are more reliable in safety. However, in terms of price and flexibility, it is necessary to continuously optimize and improve through market competition. "

  In Fan Li’s view, the emergence of sparring chaos largely reflects the shortcomings of motor vehicle driver training and examination. "It stands to reason that if you have a driver’s license, you should have the ability to drive a motor vehicle on the road independently, and sparring does not need to exist in large numbers. But the reality is that many driving schools are opportunistic, which makes it difficult for students to learn the real skills, and the examination items are not scientific. Many people will get the certificate but can’t drive. This is the crux that needs to be resolved urgently. " (Reporter Zong Yuanyuan)

Beijing: The reporter visited the National Alpine Ski Center.

  Cctv news: Pay attention to the news of the Winter Olympics. Alpine skiing is famous for its difficulty and strong appreciation. In a few days, the National Alpine Ski Center, the competition venue of the Beijing Winter Olympics, will welcome the first test activity of the Beijing Winter Olympics. What is the scene in the venue now?

  The National Alpine Ski Center includes the starting area at the top of the mountain, the intermediate platform, the competition ending area, the distribution square and other supporting facilities, and all the areas are connected by ropeways. Because the ropeway is a key link to ensure the normal operation of the venue, it is very important to overhaul and maintain the ropeway before the competition.

  The National Alpine Skiing Center is located at the highest peak of Xiaohaituo Mountain in Yanqing, northwest of Beijing. There are 7 tracks designed, with a total length of 21 kilometers and a height drop of 800 meters. It is precisely because of the high drop and long slope of Xiaohaituo Mountain that the National Alpine Ski Center has become one of the most difficult alpine skiing tracks in the world.

  The National Alpine Ski Center, as one of the newly-built venues of the Beijing Winter Olympics, will be permanently preserved after the games. In the future, it will be built into a mountain sports and leisure park, which can be used as an outdoor development training center in spring, summer and autumn to develop outdoor projects such as mountain biking, mountain climbing, hiking and grass skiing, and build an outdoor sports experience base.

He cancelled his vacation plan, immediately signed up for the construction of Vulcan Mountain, and then joined the Raytheon Mountain.
In August, 2020, Wuchang Riverside Underground Ring Road Project started. Because the pile foundation and floor construction of Linjiang construction section should be completed before the flood season to ensure the early completion and use of the road, the project cannot be stopped during the Spring Festival.

"This is the first Spring Festival that I didn’t spend with my parents at home. Although I miss my family, the project department has been very considerate for us and prepared a delicious New Year’s Eve dinner. It is unforgettable and joyful to have so many lovely colleagues to spend together." While speaking, Zhou Siwei connected the video and wished each other well with his family.
They: Both husband and wife stay in Wuhan.
Tian Songbai and Li Xiaoyan, both working in Wuchang Binjiang Underground Ring Road Project of China Construction Third Bureau, have been in Wuhan for almost a year. The couple originally planned to go back to reunite with their 70-year-old parents and two daughters during the Spring Festival. Due to the tight project schedule, they finally decided to stay in Han to continue their work during the Spring Festival. Tian Songbai said: "The unit keeps people in the post, keeps people in the salary, and keeps people emotionally." Overtime wages are also high, so you can earn more money. When you are not busy with your work, you can take a break and go home to visit the elderly and children. "
On the eve of the Spring Festival, the project department prepared a gift package for the left-behind workers. The couple wrapped the gift package layer by layer and carefully handed it to the courier brother. "It’s nothing for us to eat bitterness. We have to let the two girls at home eat more delicious food." After the New Year’s Eve, the couple dialed the video with the children and saw their daughter’s clever appearance. The couple were both sad and deeply gratified.
The project department distributed the Spring Festival gift package to each left-behind person, and paid the salary and bonus in full and on time before the year. Collect the New Year’s wishes of left-behind workers in advance, implement the one-on-one personal tailor model, and help them realize their New Year’s wishes in a personalized way; The project department also opened a construction site cinema to enrich amateur cultural life.
Go out, be bitter and tired, and live a better life for your family. Looking at thousands of lights, the workers shouted sincere wishes in unison: "Wuhan will be better!" "

Interesting talk about "New Year’s Day": How to determine the dates of Spring Festival and New Year?

Beijing, January 1st (Reporter Shangguan Yun) Today is January 1st, and many countries call it New Year’s Day. It represents the beginning of a new year and is a cheerful festival in people’s minds.
Interestingly, in ancient China, "New Year’s Day" originally referred to the current Lunar New Year, and there were other names such as "Duanri" and "Yuanzheng". The determination of names and dates such as "Spring Festival", "New Year" and "New Year’s Day" has also gone through a long evolution process.
What is the meaning of the word "New Year’s Day" in ancient times?
Speaking of New Year’s Day, if interpreted literally, it can be understood as "the first day".

The "yuan" of "New Year’s Day" means beginning and first, and the beginning of every number is called "yuan"; "Dan" is an pictograph, with the upper "Sun" representing the sun and the lower "One" representing the horizon. Together, it symbolizes that the sun rises from the horizon in Ran Ran and a new day begins.
Therefore, people combine the words "Yuan" and "Dan", which means the first day of the new year. It is said that New Year’s Day is also called "three yuan", that is, the yuan of the year, the yuan of the month and the yuan of the time.
One yuan initial, Vientiane update. In ancient times, New Year’s Day was highly valued. In the Jin Dynasty, there was a poet named Xin Lan who wrote a poem "Yuan Zheng": "Yuan Zheng opens the ceremony, and Jiaqing celebrates itself. Xian played for thousands of years, and Xiao Datong was happy. " It is the lively scene of New Year’s Day at that time.
When did the ancient "New Year’s Day" originate?
In fact, the "New Year’s Day" in ancient China is said to have originated in Zhuan Xu, one of the three emperors and five emperors, with a history of several thousand years. It is recorded in the Book of Jin: "Zhuan Di took the first month of Meng Xia as the yuan, which actually coincided with the Spring of New Year’s Day".
Although the meaning of "New Year’s Day" means the first day of the year has never changed, due to calendar reasons, the calculation method of the first day of the first month was not very unified before Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, and the months and days of New Year’s Day in previous dynasties were also inconsistent.

For example, the Xia Dynasty in ancient times used the Xia calendar, which took Meng Xiyue (January) as the first month, but in Shang Dynasty, the Yin calendar used in Shang Dynasty took the twelfth month (December) as the first month, and the Zhou Dynasty’s weekly calendar took the winter month (November) as the first month.
After Qin Shihuang unified China, he decided to take Yangchunyue (October) as the first month, that is to say, the "New Year’s Day" at this time became "the first day of October".
It was not until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the state of "changing and changing" basically ended: in the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Deng Ping and others founded the "taichu calendar", redetermining Meng Xiyue (January) in the summer calendar as the first month, and calling the first day of Meng Xiyue (the first day of the first month in the summer calendar) New Year’s Day, which was used until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
The origin of the name "Spring Festival"
Time came to 1912, and in January of that year, Sun Yat-sen issued the Order of the Provisional President on Promulgating the Almanac, requiring the Ministry of Internal Affairs to compile a new almanac, and then stipulated that January 1st of the Gregorian calendar was "New Year’s Day", but it was not called "New Year’s Day".
As a result, there are two calendar systems in China: one is the official "solar calendar" as the time standard for public administration and international communication; One is the "lunar calendar" used in traditional society, which serves agricultural time and daily life.

In January 1914, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the then government put forward in a submission to the President: "It is proposed to designate New Year’s Day in the lunar calendar as the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival as the summer festival, Mid-Autumn Festival as the autumn festival, and Winter Solstice as the winter festival …" Later, only "New Year’s Day as the Spring Festival" was approved, so the traditional Chinese New Year was renamed as "Spring Festival" and the traditional name of "New Year’s Day" was put on January 1 of the Gregorian calendar.
However, Xiao Fang, a folklore expert, said that although the government at that time had been promoting the Gregorian calendar, it even forced people not to celebrate the old calendar and prohibit folk activities such as posting Spring Festival couplets, but the people did not buy it, and their daily lives continued according to the old calendar.
On September 27th, 1949, the first plenary session of the China People’s Political Consultative Conference passed the "People’s Republic of China (PRC) calendar adopts the AD calendar method", and the first day of the first lunar month is called the Spring Festival, and January 1st of the Gregorian calendar is designated as the New Year’s Day. At this point, "New Year’s Day" has become a festival celebrated by people, and the traditional annual festival has also received due attention.
What did you eat on New Year’s Day in ancient times?
"New Year’s Day in Four Seasons, Long Life in Early Spring" always brings people new expectations, and the ancient New Year’s Day court has a grand New Year’s greeting ceremony. In the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Zhi wrote a poem in Yuan Hui: "At first, Yuan You, in ancient times, was only good, and it was a good meeting, so I gave a banquet here."
Data Map: New Year’s Day activities were held in Kunming Jindian Scenic Area, the bell tower rang the bell for blessing in the New Year, and hundreds of children wrote Spring Festival couplets, camellia exhibitions and other activities to wish happiness and well-being in the new year.

There is a saying that similar activities such as celebrating ceremonies and praying for sacrifices in the past dynasties originated from the "wax sacrifice" in ancient society, which mainly sacrificed crops and harvested gods, such as the god of agriculture. In the era of low social productivity, people should thank the "gods" and ancestors for their protection at the beginning of the new year and pray for a good weather in the coming year.
At this time, the diet is also rich and colorful, which is clearly described in "Jingchu Age". For example, when New Year’s Day arrived, the worship of congratulations in Jingchu area was completed in the Southern Dynasties, followed by the introduction of pepper and cypress wine, peach soup, Tu Su wine, gum tooth jar and spiced dish. Apply it to powder, take the ghost pill, and eat an egg each …
Count carefully, including drinks, food and drugs, each with its own meaning. In ancient times, on New Year’s Day, people performed a set of customs step by step and were very busy.
Chen Xianzhang, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, mentioned in his New Year’s Day Trial Pen: "The neighboring wall whirls to entertain guests, and the children sing songs and enjoy the New Year’s poems." Like a "Happy New Year Picture", it depicts the scene of people celebrating the traditional New Year. (End)

In the Anti-Japanese War, where was the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s role as a mainstay?

The victory of War of Resistance against Japan, the people of China, is the first great national liberation war in which China people won complete victory against foreign invasion for more than 100 years, and it is also a historical new starting point for the Chinese nation to rejuvenate.
The Communist Party of China (CPC) condensed the strength of the whole nation, and played a mainstay role in the Anti-Japanese War, which was the key to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
Appeal: Carry forward the national spirit with patriotism as the core.
From the September 18th Incident in 1931 to Japan’s unconditional surrender in 1945, the Communist Party of China (CPC) carried forward the national spirit with patriotism as the core in the arduous struggle for 14 years, and firmly believed that the final victory must belong to China.
The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s patriotic stance has never wavered in the face of the Japanese invaders’ rampant attack or the anti-communist friction of the Kuomintang die-hards. He insisted on the war of resistance against compromise, unity against separatism, progress against retrogression, and became a banner leading the whole nation in the war of resistance.
The Communist Party of China (CPC) has always fought in the forefront of the struggle for national independence and liberation. After the September 18th Incident broke out, the Communist Party of China (CPC) took the lead in raising the banner of the anti-Japanese struggle and called on the people of the whole country to "overthrow Japanese imperialism and all imperialism with a national revolutionary war" and strive for the independent liberation of the Chinese nation. At the same time, constantly organize the Northeast Anti-Union and other armed forces to invest in War of Resistance against Japan. After the "November 28th Incident" broke out, the Communist Party of China (CPC) put aside the past, issued a declaration, and offered to unite with all political factions and armed forces willing to resist Japan under three conditions.
When the situation in North China became increasingly tense, the Communist Party of China (CPC) issued the "August 1st Declaration", organized and led the "December 9th" anti-Japanese national salvation movement, the Chinese national liberation vanguard and other groups, and mobilized the people to wake up most widely. On the second day after the July 7th Incident broke out, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a declaration, calling on the people of the whole country to fight for saving the nation from peril, saying that communist party people are willing to work with the Kuomintang and compatriots all over the country to shed their last drop of blood to defend their homeland, oppose all vacillation, vacillation, compromise and concession, and carry out a resolute war of resistance. Subsequently, the Communist Party of China (CPC) emphasized in the Ten-Point Program for Resistance Against and National Salvation that "the Communist Party of China (CPC) people must combine patriotism with internationalism" and "fight to defend their motherland against aggressors".
In War of Resistance against Japan, the Communist Party of China (CPC) people have become models in all fronts and work. In the anti-Japanese armed forces led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), Communist party member has the highest sacrifice ratio. Li Gongpu wrote in "Behind the Enemy Lines in North China": "party member accounts for only one third of the children’s corps, but communist party member accounts for six tenths of those who died in the battle." Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi, Ji Hongchang, Zuo Quan, Peng Xuefeng and other the Communist Party of China (CPC) people wrote magnificent chapters with their blood and lives, which were full of appeal and greatly improved the consciousness of the whole nation in the war of resistance.
Cohesion: Adhering to the All-round Anti-Japanese War Line
The all-round anti-Japanese war line put forward and adhered to by the Communist Party of China (CPC) pointed out the correct way to win the anti-Japanese war, fully rallied the strength of the whole nation and led the whole nation to victory step by step. The Communist Party of China (CPC) emphasized that "only when the whole nation carries out the war of resistance is our way out" and "the deepest source of the great power of war lies among the people". Mobilizing and organizing the people of China to make the war of resistance develop into a comprehensive national war of resistance, which is the key to win the victory of the war of resistance. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the most conscious leader of this people’s war.
The Communist Party of China (CPC) has always adhered to the all-round anti-Japanese war line. This line combines the resistance of the whole nation with the struggle for people’s democracy and the improvement of people’s lives, unites the opposition to foreign invasion with the promotion of social progress, and combines guerrilla warfare with regular warfare. After the Anti-Japanese War entered an arduous stalemate stage, the all-round anti-Japanese war line showed its significance more and more.
The anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines and democratic political power established and led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) implemented the policy of reducing rents and interest rates, which effectively solved the problem of farmers’ democracy and people’s livelihood, made the countryside the main battlefield of War of Resistance against Japan and made farmers the main force of War of Resistance against Japan. Farmers actively participate in peasant associations, national salvation associations, militia and other local armed organizations, and actively join the army to participate in the war.
In the areas behind the enemy lines, the situation of "there is no distinction between the north and the south, and there is no distinction between people, old and young" has really formed, and the situation of bravely defending the land against the Japanese War and being trapped in the sea of Wang Yang in the people’s war has condensed a powerful force for winning the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
Leadership: Holding High the Banner of Anti-Japanese National United Front
In War of Resistance against Japan, the anti-Japanese national united front based on the cooperation between Kuomintang and Communist Party has become the main way and effective form to unite and expand the anti-Japanese forces of the whole nation, which is the "only policy". In order to expand the anti-Japanese national United front, the Communist Party of China (CPC) determined and adhered to all the principles of obeying the anti-Japanese war, correctly handled the relationship between class contradictions and ethnic contradictions, implemented appropriate policies to adjust the relationship between various classes, safeguarded the foundation and key of the anti-Japanese national United front, and truly United the government, the army, all parties and the people of the whole country.
The Communist Party of China (CPC) is not only the initiator of the anti-Japanese national united front, but also a pillar, and has made various efforts for its establishment, consolidation and development. From the proposal of uniting all domestic forces to jointly resist the enemy under three conditions after the "November 28th Incident", to the establishment of the anti-Japanese national United front strategy at the Wayaobao meeting in 1935, and then to the peaceful settlement of the Xi ‘an Incident, which promoted the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. From the "July 7th Incident" when it broke out, it called for "all the people, government and army in China to unite and build a solid Great Wall of the national united front", and the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to go to the front line of uniting against the enemy.
Under the impetus of the Communist Party of China (CPC), based on the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, an anti-Japanese national united front composed of people of all ethnic groups, democratic parties, patriotic troops, patriots from all walks of life and overseas Chinese in China was formed and developed. This has opened up a new stage in China’s politics.
Since its establishment, the anti-Japanese national United front has experienced various tests inside and outside the Party and at home and abroad. The Communist Party of China (CPC) overcame the "Left" and right erroneous tendencies on the issue of the inner United front of the Party.
Of course, the most severe test facing the United front is the anti-communist friction from the Kuomintang die-hards. Struggle is the most important way to overcome the danger of surrender, strive for a better situation, consolidate cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and develop the United front.
The Communist Party of China (CPC) adhered to the struggle strategy of developing progressive forces, winning over the middle forces and isolating the die-hard forces, resolutely maintained, consolidated and developed the United front, persisted in independence and unity in the war of resistance, and adhered to the principle of rational, favorable and restrained struggle against the anti-communist friction of the die-hards, which not only safeguarded the overall situation of unity in the war of resistance, but also won the broad sympathy and support of the people of the whole country and the world.
The Communist Party of China (CPC) played a central leading role in the anti-Japanese national united front, making it a high-flying political banner. More and more people realize that the anti-Japanese national united front is the only way to save China, and it can only be established, consolidated and developed because of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Therefore, they support communist party’s struggle for anti-Japanese and democracy, join the democratic revolutionary united front led by communist party, listen to communist party’s opinions wholeheartedly and accept communist party’s leadership.
Self-confidence: adhere to the thought and strategy of protracted war
Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Communist Party of China (CPC) had foreseen that in order to defeat the enemy, it was necessary to prepare for a protracted war, and the final outcome would be resolved in a protracted war. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang invested a lot of troops in the frontal battlefield. After several battles, although it won locally, it generally lost ground and a large area of land fell. The theory of "quick victory" has gone bankrupt, and the theory of "national subjugation" is rampant. Many Chinese people are confused and can’t see hope.
In order to point out the future of War of Resistance against Japan more clearly and boost the confidence and determination of the military and civilians in the war of resistance, in May 1938, Mao Zedong published "On protracted war", which objectively analyzed the characteristics of both China and Japan, and pointed out that both "the theory of national subjugation" and "the theory of quick victory" were wrong, and the final victory must belong to China, but it must be won through a protracted war of resistance. The protracted war includes three stages: strategic defense, strategic stalemate and strategic counterattack. The stalemate stage "will be a very painful period for China", and "guerrilla warfare is the main form of our combat in this stage, supplemented by mobile warfare".
"On protracted war" became the guiding principle for the final victory of the Anti-Japanese War. It not only affected the anti-Japanese forces under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, but also affected the Kuomintang troops and the Kuomintang-controlled areas, including Chiang Kai-shek, Bai Chongxi, Fu Zuoyi and Wei Lihuang. The strategic thought of protracted war has greatly enhanced the confidence and determination of the people of China to win the war of resistance against Japan.
Combat effectiveness: adhere to the strategic policy of guerrilla warfare against Japan.
In War of Resistance against Japan, the Kuomintang is mainly engaged in direct regular warfare, while communist party is mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, which needs, cooperates and assists each other. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Communist Party of China (CPC) made it clear that guerrilla warfare was the basic thing in War of Resistance against Japan, but mobile warfare under favorable conditions was not relaxed, thus forming a strategic policy of "guerrilla warfare is the main thing, supplemented by mobile warfare", launching independent mountain guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines and establishing anti-Japanese base areas. The scale of this guerrilla war, in terms of its extensiveness and protracted nature, is unprecedented not only in the East, but also in the whole human history.
The development and persistence of guerrilla warfare is only possible under the leadership of communist party. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Communist Party of China (CPC) raised guerrilla warfare to a strategic height, organized anti-Japanese armed forces, mobilized the masses to participate in the war of resistance, armed the people in guerrilla warfare, organized mass organizations, and established a number of base areas behind enemy lines on this basis, providing a rear strategic base for guerrilla warfare to survive and develop. Relying on the base areas behind enemy lines, the Communist Party of China (CPC) led the people and extensively carried out ambush warfare, sabotage warfare, mine warfare, tunnel warfare and sparrow warfare, which plunged the Japanese invaders into the sea of Wang Yang in the people’s war.
历史雄辩地证明,游击战争是抗日战争时期克敌制胜的重要法宝。中国共产党在游击战争中显示出超凡的战斗力,既打击了敌人,又壮大了自己。据统计,中国共产党领导抗日军民对敌作战12.5万次,消灭日伪军171.4万人;中国共产党空前发展,党员发展到120多万人,抗日民主根据地面积达近100万平方公里,人口近1亿人。
向心力:支撑起全民族救亡图存的希望
习近平总书记指出:在抗日战争中,“中国共产党人以自己的政治主张、坚定意志、模范行动,支撑起全民族救亡图存的希望,引领着夺取战争胜利的正确方向,成为夺取战争胜利的民族先锋”。
经过抗日战争,中国共产党在全国人民心中的威信得到极大提高。中国共产党领导下的敌后抗日根据地,建立起民主共和国的雏形,向世人展现了一个战胜日本帝国主义、建设新中国的光明前途。
Therefore, more and more people place their hopes on the Communist Party of China (CPC) to completely change the destiny of the Chinese nation. The senior officials of the Kuomintang also realized that "only communist party has the highest level, the greatest strength to resist foreign enemies and the sincerity to strive for democracy, and can best represent the hope of the nation".
Chen Jiageng, the leader of overseas Chinese in Nanyang, said with emotion when he visited Yan ‘an: He heard and witnessed all the facts, and saw that he was hardworking, honest, loyal and loyal to the public. He should take the benefit of the people and the country as the premise, and implement democratization, which will be popularized and implemented in the villages in the recovered areas, and work hard with the people to share the same enemy and lay the foundation for victory and reform. He thus asserted: "China has a savior, victory is guaranteed, and China’s hope lies in Yan ‘an!" After the Anti-Japanese War, this centripetal force became an important weight to determine the future and destiny of the Chinese nation.
Remembering history is to show the present and create the future. Why can the Communist Party of China (CPC), after more than 90 years of wind and rain, usher in the bright future of realizing the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation? There is only one answer: it can unite the strength of the whole nation.
This article comes from Beijing Daily on August 24th, 2015, and its original title is "China’s Hope is in Yan ‘an"-the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s Role as a Pillar from the Source of Strength.

How can anyone in this world not love Ryuichi Sakamoto?

The professor said that China fans can donate money to build a music classroom, which is a very happy gift for him. /douban
"My music is an island, and the world is an infinite ocean."
"If this is the only purpose, just to comfort and touch the victims, music and art will stop here."
In September 2019, the Japanese magazine ほぅてらす (Legal Platform) published an exclusive interview about Ryuichi Sakamoto. Among them, "What can music and art do for disasters?" His answer to this question caused a lot of discussion at that time.
Shortly after the disaster, there was no food, water and electricity, people were displaced, but musicians brought music in a big way, which was completely out of place in Ryuichi Sakamoto’s eyes.
Even since 2014, Ryuichi Sakamoto has been touring the country with the Northeast Youth Orchestra (TYO) composed of children from the counties affected by the 311 earthquake in Tokyo. "The power of music" is still his most annoying statement."It is a very foolish and shameful thing to make music with the illusory idea of transmitting strength and healing others."
TYO was evaluated by Japanese media as "passing on the courage and touch of crossing the disaster to the children and adults in the disaster-stricken areas through powerful and beautiful music". /@ Ryuichi Sakamoto Information CN
In this way, Ryuichi Sakamoto, who was labeled as "anti-disaster music" by the public, brought two performances to the people of China who were deeply affected by the epidemic in February, 2020.
On February 29th, one of the most memorable events in this once-in-four-year period must be the special performance brought by Ryuichi Sakamoto at UCCA’s "Good Music in Aauto Quicker" concert.
Stones, broken tiles, porcelain bowls, alms bowls, bows, cymbals from Wuhan, China, and Malimba mallets made of recycled medical rubber, and then connected with impromptu piano and electric guitar performance, became a complicated and mysterious music universe full of collisions.
"Made in China"
On February 22nd, a week ago, he also played Aqua for the parents and children of China in the epidemic, and encouraged the older children and children who can’t go out with a gentle piano to do fun at home.
Aqua in Latin means the form of water, which can be running water, raindrops, the ocean and the source of life. This piece of music specially selected by Ryuichi Sakamoto comes from his most famous piano solo album BTTB.Back To The Basic, return to the original.
"Speaking of what music and art can do for disasters, compared with sending food and donations, I think the highest level that can be done should bedeepThink about the meaning of disaster and use your own work tableCome out. "
Let’s work hard together to tide over the difficulties.
This is Ryuichi Sakamoto’s "mountains and rivers are exotic, and the moon is in the same sky".
Mr Lawrence and the Last Emperor
For a long time, Ryuichi Sakamoto didn’t like Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.
"It’s too high-profile."Wherever he goes, he will be asked to play this piece. Ryuichi Sakamoto, who wants to remain an invisible man, hates his high popularity.
Yellow Magic Orchestra, a band formed by Ryuichi Sakamoto when he was young, became popular all over the world at an alarming rate in the late 1970s. "After the release of Y.M.O’ s second album" SOLID STATE SURVIVOR ",it suddenly became a fire. Overnight, I can’t walk in the street because everyone will point to me and call me Sakamoto Sakamoto. "
Ryuichi Sakamoto was called a "professor" because Gao Qiao of Y.M.O said to him, "You are a graduate student of Tokyo University of the Arts. I will call you a professor in the future."
Because he hated being recognized in the street, he couldn’t accept this change. Ryuichi Sakamoto simply stayed at home for 10 months, just didn’t want to be disturbed.
So Y.M.O became a flash in the pan, and it took only five years from the fire to the dissolution, just because Ryuichi Sakamoto couldn’t stand the band’s popularity.
Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence, which is widely circulated, is just a good piece of music in Ryuichi Sakamoto’s eyes, but it is not so good as a movie soundtrack.
The soundtrack of this unlovable film comes from Nagisa ?shima’s anti-war film Merry Christmas on the Battlefield. In this film, Ryuichi Sakamoto made music for the film for the first time and became an actor for the first time.
"It seems that the death of Cyrus planted a seed in the heart of the wild well, and we shared the growth of the seed together."
Ryuichi Sakamoto’s oral autobiography "Music Makes People Free" mentioned his excitement when he received a call from Nagisa ?shima. As a veteran movie fan who has seen almost all the other’s works, when Nagisa ?shima offered to participate in the show,What Ryuichi Sakamoto blurted out was not "good", but "please let me do the music".
Nagisa ?shima, who was "very enterprising", readily agreed and gave him an unprecedented exception, allowing him to spend three months creating the music to his heart’s content.
After filming, Ryuichi Sakamoto, who still didn’t know anything about the soundtrack, listened to a friend’s suggestion and bought a video of "Milestone in Film History" and "Citizen Kane" to watch, and finally gained some experience. "The answer is very simple. It is probably where the image tension is insufficient. It is not mysterious to join the soundtrack."
Work photos of "Merry Christmas on the Battlefield"
Especially after discussing with Nagisa ?shima, I found that the two sides had quite the same opinion on where to add the soundtrack, which made Ryuichi Sakamoto’s self-confidence "swell to the extreme" and felt that the soundtrack of the movie was just so much.
Interestingly, Nagisa ?shima had actually invited david bowie, another star of the film, to create a soundtrack for the film before, but Bao Ye refused: "I just want to concentrate on my performance this time."
This wonderful butterfly effect opened the way for Ryuichi Sakamoto’s film soundtrack. Just like the stunning kiss between David’s captured Jack and Sakamoto’s Japanese officer, the film also planted seeds in his heart.
No matter in or out of the play, the friendship between the professor and Bao Ye at that time still excited countless people.
At the Cannes Film Festival in 1983, Merry Christmas on the Battlefield was selected as a competition film. At the banquet, Nagisa ?shima introduced Ryuichi Sakamoto to bernardo bertolucci. After a few pleasantries, Bertolucci dragged the young man to talk for a long time about his new film "The Last Emperor".
So three years later, Ryuichi Sakamoto came to Beijing to film The Last Emperor. This masterpiece, which swept the major film awards, even brought Ryuichi Sakamoto the first Oscar statuette in his life.
A piano that is out of tune has created 48 soundtracks in just two weeks. In those days, Ryuichi Sakamoto really had the capital of being young and frivolous.
Even after winning the Oscar, Bertolucci’s crazy deletion of the film soundtrack still made Ryuichi Sakamoto angry.
When Ryuichi Sakamoto joined The Last Emperor, the crew had been shooting for three months, and everyone was very involved. When we first met, John Lone, who played Puyi, said seriously to Ryuichi Sakamoto, who was fooling around."You are the black hand behind the scenes sent by Japan, and you are my enemy. I won’t talk to you until the film is finished."
Ryuichi Sakamoto only felt that this person was puzzling and didn’t take it to heart. It was not until he couldn’t get the director’s approval in a major event that he began to think a lot and take it seriously.
Unlike Nagisa ?shima, who dotes on him, Bertolucci’s film world has only one purpose-everything serves the film. Roaring directors, tight time constraints and lack of strict requirements for creative freedom have broadened the music world of Ryuichi Sakamoto.
"I don’t need it anymore!" /"The Last Emperor" screenshot
In the scene where the imperial concubine Wenxiu left Puyi, Wenxiu refused the umbrella handed by the housekeeper and ran away in the rain."I don’t need it anymore", the music started.When the Italian staff first heard Rain, everyone hugged each other and couldn’t help shouting "bellissimo (beautiful), bellissimo!"
"If the soundtrack can connect the movie into the memory in the audience’s consciousness, it is an ideal state." Music that can retain memory is Ryuichi Sakamoto’s understanding of film soundtrack.
"Good evening, I’m Ryuichi Sakamoto. Everyone is very cold. If you feel cold, it doesn’t matter if you stand up and run at will. Please listen to this performance easily."
Ryuichi Sakamoto found the calendar when he visited a building in Fukushima, and the time was fixed on March 11th.
After the 311 earthquake in Japan, Ryuichi Sakamoto went to the hardest hit area to bring a performance to the local victims. In this performance, he played Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence again.
Many people at the scene said,After such a long time, they can finally have a real sleep.After suffering, it is enough to bring a good sleep. Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.
Don’t forget to look at the moon every day
"How many times can you see the full moon in your life? There may be twenty times, but at the moment everything seems to have no end. "
Among the new album Async released in 2017, full moon is Ryuichi Sakamoto’s favorite song. In this piece, Ryuichi Sakamoto repeated a line from the film "The Covered Sky" which he once participated in, superimposed and repeated in 11 languages.
How many times can we look up at the moon in our life? /Screenshot of "Covered Sky"
Because we don’t know when we will die, we often regard life as an inexhaustible well.
When Async was released, Ryuichi Sakamoto was interviewed by NHK TV and asked how he wanted to burn it out. He thought for a moment and replied, "there is a strong idea, that is."Don’t lie to yourself, want to make real music, live truly, and don’t forget to look at the moon every day. "
Since suffering from throat cancer in 2014, Ryuichi Sakamoto, a workaholic who has never stopped working in her twenties, got a rest for the first time.
"Be sure to pay attention to oral hygiene, although my back teeth may have rotted away." /Screenshot of "Sakamoto Ryuichi: Finale"
"Although I eat organic food, I usually pay attention to it, but I will still get sick when I am sick." Ryuichi Sakamoto, who never thought that cancer would happen to her, was shocked and depressed and chose to accept it. "Absolutely can put an end to cancer lifestyle or something, there is definitelyno..When you have cancer, you can only get used to it. This is life. "
Repeatedly low-grade fever, dysphagia, because the secretion of sick saliva is only half of that before, I often wake up several times in the middle of the night to drink water. In addition to talking to people, he often chews gum when he is alone, in order to promote saliva secretion.
During the long and arduous process of receiving treatment, Ryuichi Sakamoto was in a state of being unable to listen to any music, until after the treatment, he heard the singing of Cuban national treasure female singer Omara Portuondo for the first time.
That "Rabo de nube" made him cry, as if suddenly his heart was broken by a powerful hand. "At that time, I felt that the power of music was sometimes really great."
The last time I felt the greatness of music, I probably went back to 2001. When the September 11th incident happened that year, Ryuichi Sakamoto lived in a place where he could see the Twin Towers when he opened the window. It was the first time that he faced the disaster so closely.
Seven days later, people gathered in the square to pray for the victims, and young people sang "Yesterday". Ryuichi Sakamoto realized that,It turns out that he hasn’t heard music for seven days.
"When disaster comes, there is nothing we can do. But after the disaster, we should respond instead of silence. "

Why is our world so violent? This made Ryuichi Sakamoto want to explore the origin of life.
So, in February 2002, Ryuichi Sakamoto went to Kenya in Africa. By the river where people lived, he was born."Only love can overcome hate."The idea. In 2008, he went to the North Pole again and realized."I will die at any time."Small.
After the 2011 earthquake, after visiting Fukushima, Ryuichi Sakamoto was determined to carry out the "anti-nuclear" to the end. In 2012, he co-sponsored the NO NUKES (Abolishing Nuclear Power) Music Festival with many Japanese celebrities. Until last year, it has been held for 8 consecutive sessions.
In 2020, the NO NUKES Music Festival will be stopped once. "It’s always the same artists and guests. I have felt this dilemma in recent times. If this continues, I am afraid that the scope of influence will not become bigger." Recently, Ryuichi Sakamoto told Music Hiking magazine that,stopDo it to prepare for new changes.
The professor gave a speech at the anti-nuclear rally.
Next year will be the 10th anniversary of the March 11th earthquake in Japan, and the music festival will start again in 2021. This time, they communicated with more people, led by young people, hoping to turn it into a framework that can solve many problems.
As he said in Sakamoto Ryuichi: The Finale, the sound of the piano is not continuous, but will gradually weaken and disappear. And what he wants to find is the constant, timeless music in his heart.
"Music, work and life have a starting point and an end point.What I want to create now is music that gets rid of the time limit."What Ryuichi Sakamoto wants to do is music that people will listen to 100 years later, which is music that needs peace.
Please don’t forget to look at the moon every day. /Screenshot of "700 Days of Sakamoto Ryuichi"
My music is an island.
And the world is an infinite ocean.
In the scene of "The Finale", Ryuichi Sakamoto squatted on the ice sheet in the Arctic Circle and carefully hung the recording equipment with a rope to sink, so as to record the sound of running water under the glacier crack. "I’m fishing for the sound," he said with a smile.
He is listening to the heartbeat of the world.
Because there are no humans, the professor thinks that the sound of running water in the Arctic Circle is the purest sound in the world. /Screenshot of "Sakamoto Ryuichi: Finale"
In other scenes of the documentary, Ryuichi Sakamoto often collects sounds: in order to listen to the sound of rain falling, he puts a bucket on his head and walks into the rain; Going to the forest, he knocked with a small stick and listened to the vibration of the wind passing through the forest; Back home, he began to work by playing the recorded natural sounds.
"Every time it rains, I open the window and put the recorder out." Ryuichi Sakamoto will knock on what he sees anywhere and know their sounds. In Barcelona, a patrol car whistled past, and he quickly took out his mobile phone recording, happy that he didn’t miss the sound.
Everything is music.This statement from American composer John Cage is very popular with Ryuichi Sakamoto. Nature’s voice mingles with artificial musical instruments, which is the natural music he pursues.
Everything is music. /Screenshot of "Sakamoto Ryuichi: Finale"
When Ryuichi Sakamoto was traveling in Bali in 1980s, he saw the local people tying a pigeon whistle on its feet. When it was released, the pigeon whistle made a distant and near sound, which was mixed with the long wind and the sound of the forest, which made him unforgettable.
Therefore, when he was the director of Sapporo Art Festival in 2014, the opening ceremony designed by Ryuichi Sakamoto did not play music, but let a group of pigeons with pigeon whistle fly.
The beginning of "disintegration" in "Async" is a slightly strange piano sound out of tune. And this piano sound comes from a piano that "miraculously survived" from the tsunami.
"The sea slams the piano, which is inaccurate for human beings. But in essence, they just restored the original state in nature. " Ryuichi Sakamoto believes that,The piano is only tuned naturally, and he thinks it is particularly beautiful.
"You should be good." /Screenshot of "Sakamoto Ryuichi: Finale"
Ryuichi Sakamoto, who has been fond of Natsume Soseki since middle school, has a complete set of his works at home. Natsume Soseki’s seemingly casual natural scenery always gives him inspiration and aftertaste.
"I went to pick up the pieces of stardust that fell to the ground and gently put them on the soil. The star is round, perhaps in the long process of falling, and the edges and corners are gradually worn away.But when I picked up the film, I felt a little warmth on my chest and hands. "
Ryuichi Sakamoto, who collects nature, is like the boy in Natsume Soseki’s Dream of Ten Nights. His voice is the warm fragments of stardust left by nature.
He feels the world in nature and then gives back to it. And the meaning of the documentary Coda,It is the end, living to death, and the next beginning.
The finale is also the beginning. /Screenshot of "Sakamoto Ryuichi: Finale"
In Thirteen Invitations, Ryuichi Sakamoto fiddled with a guitar and said that he would play it like this when he was happy.
"I adjusted the tone is wrong, completely wrong.But I just like the wrong tone. "
Just like he liked the piano that survived the tsunami, like in 2018, he played an tuneless instrument in an underground bar in Beijing.
What he likes is the process of returning to nature after suffering.

Deng Chao’s new film was released one day and then withdrawn! The embarrassment of China Ping Pong has exposed many problems.

The official micro-release of "China Table Tennis Fight Back" said that the film will be adjusted to a small-scale screening from January 25th/Lunar New Year’s Day, and will resume normal screening on February 17th. The film was released on January 24 this year (the third day of the New Year’s Eve) and ended on the 25th, with a box office of 40.36 million yuan in two days.

This kind of operation, for ordinary people, is really an eye-opener. After seeing a movie for the first time for half a day, I quickly saw that the situation was wrong and hurriedly withdrew the file.

When Guanbo announced the news on Weibo, the wording was very ambiguous and vague, which sounded grandiose, as if to say that there was something wrong with his announcement. But the truth was revealed by some netizens because many cinemas didn’t give China Ping-Pong a chance to be screened at midnight in the underworld, so there was no good screening time, and naturally no one bought a ticket. Seeing that the box office trend is likely to fail to recover the cost, the film side quickly retreated when it saw a bad opportunity.

As soon as the box office was in a mess, he avoided the limelight first, which caused a lot of noise. For a while, the attention of this film was unprecedented. As a matter of fact, before the film was released, because of its embarrassment in these aspects, there have been quite a few tossing, and the subsequent operation has exposed many problems.

The first embarrassment is the embarrassment of its subject matter.

Sports theme is actually a necessary evergreen topic in the film genre. It is reasonable to say that it is not an unpopular and niche thing. But the problem is, it’s about ping pong, the sports strength of China people.

Looking back on the wonderful table tennis matches in China, there can be 180 games a year, and the film is incapable of recreating the wonderful moments of the real table tennis match. Take these young actors who are used in movies as an example. They usually shoot idol dramas with poor attitude, lack of professionalism and insufficient acting skills, not to mention watching them play serious table tennis players in movies. Just a little, it is a big problem to see if their table tennis posture can meet the standard.

Compared with Leap, who told you the story of China volleyball before, the story of China women’s volleyball team has its ups and downs, which is strong enough in itself. It is not as difficult to shoot as China’s table tennis, and it still has not achieved good box office results and word of mouth, not to mention China Table Tennis.

Furthermore, you can finish the film in one sentence, practice the Jedi counterattack hard when you encounter a trough, and finally climb the peak. Everyone is happy and applauding. It seems that it is also a very old-fashioned shooting technique, and it is difficult to be innovative.

The second embarrassment is the director’s embarrassment.

On the eve of the release of China Ping Pong, People’s Daily interviewed two directors, Deng Chao and Yu Baimei. The content of the interview, left is just that set of fixed words, about the original intention of shooting this film, how difficult it is for them to film, and what kind of effect will they show in the end.

However, in the face of this topic, many netizens’ attitudes throughout their lives are: Deng Chao and Yu Baimei are true love, while Sun Li is an accident.

This sentence is actually a little malicious ridicule. Deng Chao and Yu Baimei tied together and brought a lot of junk movies. Even if the film was well arranged, people wouldn’t go to the cinema to watch them at the first time. This is really because the PTSD they gave everyone was too deep. Take a look at the famous bad movies in China’s film history, and the inevitable "Villain Angel" is brought to you by two people. Besides, two people are rotten and don’t know it. I always feel that other people don’t understand the two of them. It seems that the whole audience in China owes them, and they jump up and down when the box office is a little bad. All talk is socialism, but all business is in my heart.

The third embarrassment is the embarrassing schedule.

At first, it was New Year’s Day, and then it was changed to New Year’s Day. This time, it simply withdrew from the Spring Festival file and was rescheduled for February 17.

In order to avoid the two blockbusters "Wandering Earth 2" and "Man Jiang Hong" and prevent them from dying miserably in the fight between the boss and the second child, they chose another schedule. But it’s still the same sentence: if you can hide from the first grade, can you hide from the fifteenth? Later, Marvel Comics returned to the palace, Black Panther on February 7, Ant Man 3 on February 17, and When the Wind Comes Again (actors include Aaron Kwok, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Du Fu, Tan Yaowen and Ng Cheuk Hai) on February 24. It is said that Titanic will be released again on Valentine’s Day. In case the situation is not good again, the two films "Wandering Earth 2" and "Man Jiang Hong" will be postponed for more than a month, and it will still have to face these opponents. In addition, looking back, how many films were good when they ran away from the enemy?

Douban gave the film seven points, almost average, neither up nor down, neither good nor bad, and left the film with an embarrassment.

What fashion style was popular in the Tang Dynasty?

Beijing Evening News Wuse Tu | Author He Shu

The annual International Women’s Day has just passed, and "women hold up half the sky". The creation, development and myriad weather of this world are absolutely inseparable from the hard work of hundreds of millions of women throughout the ages. Similarly, the "fashion" that affects human life cannot be separated from the promotion and struggle of women.

When it comes to fashion, the first reaction of public cognition will think that this is a cultural phenomenon after the industrial revolution gave birth to the consumer society. However, in a broad sense, the fashion trend in the pre-modern society is also colorful. For example, the Tang Dynasty, which has an important position in the history of China and the history of world civilization, has an unprecedented pursuit of fashion. The book "tang style Brushing the Threshold" recently published by Social Science Literature Publishing House and written by Chinese scholar Chen Buyun focuses on the 300 years of fashion in the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Buyun Social Science Literature Publishing House, tang style.

The ban on luxury can’t ban the love of beauty.

"Fashion is the center of people’s life in the Tang Dynasty, because this dynasty placed fabrics at the center of the economic and moral value structure. Elite men and women subvert the dress code to obtain gorgeous silk and fashionable designs. The changes in economic and social structure have triggered a new sense of time, a The Imitation Game, and a change in production methods, which are the pioneers of the formation of modern fashion systems. " A passage on the cover of tang style’s Whistling Threshold succinctly summarizes the main idea of this book, that is, to find the origin of fashion outside the mainstream western discourse system and to dig out the inextricably linked relationship with today. As Valerie Steele, director of the Museum of new york Fashion Institute, commented: "Is fashion a Western phenomenon related to the rise of European capitalism? This has been the argument for many years. In Chen Buyun’s works, it shows the existence of a prosperous fashion culture in the Tang Dynasty in China. "

The title of the translated version of the book abandoned the original Imperial Style, and the title of "tang style blows the sill" was taken from the great poet Li Bai’s "Qingpingdiao I", with three poems, which praised Yang Guifei’s beauty at the order of Tang Minghuang. "Clouds want clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows the sill, and it is full of exuberance. If it weren’t for the head of Yushan Mountain, it would meet Yaotai under the moon. " Although there are many high songs of "Who are we from Artemisia?", there are also many works of "destroying the eyebrows and bending the waist" in the early years. Although it is a propositional composition, this poem is also magnificent in imagination, and it has done a great job of Yang Guifei’s national beauty.

The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty describes Yang Guifei’s "gorgeous posture". Wu Hong, an art historian, also insisted: "It is said that the fashion of shaping fat women is largely due to Yang Guifei’s well-known fullness. Although this statement is doubtful, because such a character image appeared in the early 8th century, even before that, Yang Guifei did embody the essence of this image and marked its climax. Because she not only dominated the upper class in Chang’ an, but also dominated the fantasy of contemporary men. " The richness wrapped under the precious and gorgeous silk became the weather vane of that era. At first glance, this is a lively romantic story, but there is a complicated change process behind it.

Cloth represented by silk is not only the main carrier of the tax system, but also the substitute of money in some specific years because of the encouragement of the government, which can be circulated in the market. The clothes processed by them show the power level and social status.

Mr. Shen Congwen once concluded in the study of ancient Chinese costumes: "feudal rulers have always regarded clothing as a symbol of class, that is, the rulers are also hierarchical and should not be confused." Therefore, every time the dynasty changes, it will be rescheduled as usual. "

As soon as the Tang Dynasty was founded, the society was divided into three social classes, namely, the privileged class dominated by royal relatives and officials, the free civilians and hereditary servant families, the private servants and the untouchables composed of slaves, and the clothing of different classes had tireless detailed regulations-the emperor had 14 sets of clothes for different occasions, 6 sets of princes and 3 sets of empresses, and the royal family and officials and their families were divided into nine categories. At the same time, "women are allowed to wear low-grade clothes, but they are strictly forbidden to wear clothes higher than their own grades." This restriction helps to consolidate the connection between privilege and status and ensure the status of high-grade people. Like color and chroma, silk fabrics are also strictly regulated. Those more complicated and luxurious patterns and weaves can only be used by the highest-ranking women in the imperial court. " Since then, throughout the Tang Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties have made further detailed provisions on this.

The rules formulated by the royal family are also violated by members of the royal family first, and the starting point is the pursuit of fashion. This is the case with Princess Anle’s hundred birds skirt. According to the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, this gorgeous dress is "one color in the face, one color in the side, one color in Japan and China, and one color in the shadow, and all kinds of birds can be seen", which has led to a strong follow-up. "The self-made wool skirt is more effective for the rich, and the feathers of exotic birds and animals in the rivers and mountains are exhausted." Note that a major feature of fashion is imitation. Through imitation, we can gain a sense of psychological identity beyond identity and social status. In the later generations, although there are more complete means of prohibition and punishment, if the dress does not conform to the grade, it will be punished by forty slaps.

In 714, after Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, there were three orders to ban luxury, namely, Forbidden Jade and Splendid Jade, Forbidden Jade and Splendid Jade, and forbidden luxury in 726. Each ban was severely worded, not only the gold and silver ornaments on the clothes were melted and cast to supplement the military expenditure, but also the jade and pearls were required to be burned, which was explicitly stated. In hindsight, this is more like a performance art for the world. Li Shu, a royal woman who died in 736, also revealed the invalidity of the luxury ban to later generations.

Following Chen Buyun’s brush strokes, we can see that "the funerary objects in Li Shu’s tomb contain various forms of gold ornaments, such as woven gold silk clothes, gold-framed flower buds, gold-plated bronze hair clips, and some gold threads. Pearls, turquoise, mother-of-pearl, precious stones and amethyst are also fixed and embedded in the golden crowns. The belt part is made of pearls, and the gold frame is decorated with flowers. " Li Shu is neither a princess nor a husband, but he is just a small official with seven products. These are obviously over-the-top funerary objects. Reminiscent of the extravagance of Yang Guifei’s family "with a mass of golden peacocks and silver unicorns … are blue leaves of delicate kingfisher feathers", the so-called luxury ban is more formal.

From Daizong to Dezong to Wenzong, there were various bans. During the years of Wenzong, except for the production of luxury silk, it was even stipulated that "new samples" were not allowed. In order to implement the regulations, he also ordered Wang Ya, the minister, to revise the clothing system and re-implement the regulations on determining the color and type of clothing by grade. "this Jiujiang official. My blue sleeve was wet" said that Sima Bai Juyi with eight products was wearing blue clothes. However, Princess Yan ‘an, the sister of Wenzong, wore a large and luxurious silk dress when she enjoyed the lantern at midnight snack in 839, which annoyed Emperor Wenzong and made this rule fail again.

The game of ideas

In addition to decrees, there are also prevailing social concepts that hinder fashion.

The opening up of the Tang Dynasty surpassed previous dynasties, and the management of the western regions not only exported silk, porcelain and culture, but also imported all kinds of articles and habits. The most obvious thing is the prevalence of Hu clothes, and the Tang people’s fascination with Hu clothes is related to horse riding outings, polo competitions and the popularity of music, dance and articles in the western regions, which are all indulged by the court. Hu Fu was popular for centuries, and it reached its peak in Xuanzong’s reign. "All the riders from the imperial palace are wearing Hu Mao, and they show up with beautiful makeup, and there is no complex barrier. The scholar’s house has followed suit. "

Painted Hu fu female figurines

The popularity of Hu fu has not only shaken the prohibition of luxury, but also blurred the gender differences and disrupted the social class, so that the editors of Old Tang Shu bitterly denounced, "Too often, people are happy to admire Hu qu, nobles are eager to eat Hu, and scholars and women are all dressed in Hu fu, so there is Fan Yang’s rebellion against Hu, which bodes well for the future." In their view, this disordered fashion was the chief culprit that caused the Anshi Rebellion to almost destroy the dynasty’s rule, and put the pursuit of fashion by human nature under the moral stick, adding a painful whip. Absolute beauty’s prosperous Tang Dynasty finally declined, and later generations can only get a glimpse from poetry and archaeology. Fortunately, time will wash away everything. Today, when we appreciate and admire the splendor and exquisiteness of ancient fashion through historical remains, how many people can think of those ridiculous bans?

Although the fashion in the Tang Dynasty changed a lot, the working people at the bottom did not enjoy it at all. Heavy taxes and heavy labor overdrawn their energy and enthusiasm, and strict decrees made them have to wear natural linen. Only in the new era when people fully enjoy material wealth can people enjoy the beauty brought by fashion, even in the wholesale market, they can find a dress of the latest style and participate in "fashion" in a cheap and good way.
