And the United States should cancel unreasonable tariffs as soon as possible to eliminate negative assets that affect Sino-US relations.

  Recently, Vice President Han Zheng, Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Pan Gongsheng, Governor of the People’s Bank of China and Director of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, met with Paulson, former US Treasury Secretary and chairman of the Paulson Foundation, respectively, demonstrating China’s sincerity in improving Sino-US relations. Washington should reduce provocation, take measures and respond positively to the goodwill released by Beijing.

  It is in the common interest of both sides to stabilize Sino-US relations. China and the United States are seeking cooperation in areas where there is no direct conflict of interest, such as climate change, and strengthening communication when they cannot be decoupled from each other. Climate change is one of the areas where the two sides can maintain exchanges at present, so that the relationship between the two countries can withstand the test of the dispute storm. However, once a conflict breaks out, all these efforts will be wasted.

  Therefore, Washington should reduce provocation, take measures, move in the opposite direction with China, and jointly push Sino-US relations back to a healthy and stable track. For example, the United States should cancel the punitive tariffs against China initiated in July 2018 as soon as possible, and remove China enterprises from its list of so-called entities.

  Regrettably, however, the United States added 11 China enterprises to its export control list on the grounds of "national security" on Monday.

  It is not in the interests of the two peoples, the expectations of the international community and the development trend of the times for Sino-US relations to fall into a trough. China’s policy toward the United States is stable and continuous. It is hoped that the US policy toward China will return to a rational and pragmatic track, take concrete actions, lengthen the positive list and narrow the negative list, and work with China to explore ways for the two great powers of China and the United States to coexist peacefully.

  Biden’s government should realize that neither the tariff war initiated by its predecessor nor the list of entities it continues to extend is the right way to handle the relations between the two countries. Both are negative assets for Washington, not strategic assets. It is time for Biden’s administration to eliminate these unreasonable burdens in Sino-US relations.

Midnight Food Store’s behind-the-scenes special Vision Wei Eddie Peng Yuyan and other stars are super dedicated.

1905 movie network news The film Midnight Food Store, which will be released nationwide on August 30th and directed by Tony Leung Ka Fai for the first time, today released a behind-the-scenes special edition of "Master as a Cloud", which revealed the identity of the master of the stars. The uncle who cooks in the canteen is actually the film director Tony Leung Ka Fai, obviously Vision Wei, who is a taxi driver and also a part-time mechanic. Yang Shining, an amateur boxer, pays attention to his career and love, while Eddie Peng Yuyan, a fitness coach, teaches people to fight boxing without lifting iron. … … Seemingly ordinary people have unusual master skills, only to stay in Midnight Food Store to stage strength tricks. The tidbits and stills exposed at the same time truly show the behind-the-scenes state of the stars’ dedicated preparation for the play, and the degree of professionalism can be seen.


The film is adapted from the Japanese comic book of the same name in Misaki Arai, starring Tony Leung Ka Fai, Vision Wei, Junyan Jiao, Zheng Xinyi, Zhang Yishang, Jin Shijia, Jin Yanling, Feng Cuifan, Zhang Li, Liang Jingkang, Du Yuchen and Wang Jingwen, with Deng Chao as the special star, Yang Youning, Peng Yuxi, Liu Tao, Zhang Yibai, Chen Jianzhou, Hao Ping, Jiang Wenli and Wu Ting.

 

Master Diners Fancy Skills Exhibition, multi-faceted stars, super-dedicated, trying to figure out the details, "colorful and tasteful" crew


Since the official announcement of the film "Midnight Food Store", every release of materials has tried to bring warmth and encouragement to the audience, but this special edition of "Master as a Cloud" has aimed the camera behind the scenes, showing all the "colorful flavor" of the crew. Vision Wei plays a taxi driver in Tang and Song Dynasties, and learned auto repair for a living; Yang Shining starred as an amateur boxer, open source, a muscle to engage in career, but also part-time love; Eddie Peng Yuyan plays a fitness instructor, but he still needs to play in person … … Every ordinary diner who visits Midnight Food Store bears multiple "master" identities, and the change of identities is a challenge to acting skills, and the handsome appearance displayed by the strong bodies of the actors greatly enhances the good-looking "chroma" of the film.


This time, in addition to showing the many faces of the characters in the film in more detail, the tidbits and stills exposed at the same time will also disclose the real state behind the scenes of the main creators. Vision Wei, who followed the director and carefully tried to figure out the deductive method, was extremely focused; Yang Shining, who is doing push-ups in the boxing ring for drama exercise, is sweating all over; Eddie Peng Yuyan, staring at the video, looked serious with his head down … … Serious faces are enough to show the dedication of the actors. The story can arouse the audience’s emotions by strong contradictions and conflicts, but the actual feeling of "warmth" needs to be conveyed by details again and again. In order to figure out the details, the actors constantly adjust their deductive methods behind the scenes, striving to present the most natural screen state and bring the "flavor" of the film to the extreme.


Tony Leung Ka Fai studio personally tried to train the actors, and the big coffee in the entertainment circle helped out.


Midnight Food Store is the first film directed by Tony Leung Ka Fai. In order to better present the content of the film, Tony Leung Ka Fai, as a director, relies on many years’ experience in interpretation, and personally performs every audition, and splits the details for the actors’ guidance. In the special video, whether you are in the dining hall, explaining the deductive methods with Vision Wei and Zhang Yi again and again, or giving a demonstration in the boxing ring and bringing Yang Shining into the play, all of them show the seriousness and dedication of Tony Leung Ka Fai after his identity has changed into a director, while Tony Leung Ka Fai’s unpretentious and approachable way of treating people has attracted more entertainers to join us.


Through the special edition, we can see that Jin Yanling, Feng Cuifan, Jiang Wenli and other powerful actors in the industry have all played heavily, while in the tidbits, we are even more surprised to find the figure of the famous director Zhang Yibai, and the two directors, Tony Leung Ka Fai and Zhang Yibai, have joined forces to pose as boxers, which shows the deep relationship between the two directors. However, after filming in Eddie Peng Yuyan studio, we joked that we should "pay the tuition fee at the front desk", which also showed the relaxed and harmonious shooting atmosphere in the studio intuitively. It is precisely because of the warm atmosphere naturally formed between people in the crew that the film characters get along with each other more warmly, so that the audience can finally get peace of mind at the moment of watching movies.


The movie "Midnight Food Store" will be released nationwide on August 30th, 2019, waiting for you.

Hu Mei’s new work "Into the Capital" was released in Olivia, Ma Yili.


1905 movie network news Directed by Hu Mei, written by Zou Jingzhi, starring Fu Dalong, Ma Yili, Olivia (especially), Ma Jinghan, Yao Anlian, and Jiao Huang, a national first-class actor, the historical masterpiece exploring the origin of Peking Opera for 300 years was officially released nationwide today.The film is a collection of top performers in the industry and powerful opera players. It has been polished for six years, and it explores the ups and downs of "Huiban going to Beijing" 300 years ago by taking advantage of the origin of the quintessence of Peking Opera.


 

After six years of painstaking efforts, Hu Mei teamed up with Zou Jingzhi to recount the legend of secret history.

The script of the film Into Beijing was written by Zou Jingzhi, a famous screenwriter in China, for three years. The story is based on the colorful event of "Huiban going to Beijing" in the history of Peking Opera’s origin 300 years ago. It tells the story of the feud between the Beijing Palace and Quyi Pear Garden, and the seclusion of Yue Jiu, a master of opera, and the rebellion of Wang Runsheng, a popular martial artist, at the end of the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, when the emperor wanted to celebrate his eightieth birthday in Beijing.

 

Hu Mei, a famous fifth-generation female director in China, was deeply touched by the spirit of "ocean deep, the drama is bigger than the sky" in the script, and resolutely took over the guide. In order to present the essence of Peking Opera on the screen accurately and to the extreme, Hu Mei personally visited all parts of Anhui Province to explore the survival status of Peking Opera among the people, which was very shocking. "Children who enter school in Lian Gang can sing an authentic Peking Opera anytime and anywhere, which shows the importance of inheritance". After the visit, Hu Mei hoped to use the time of a movie to awaken the young audience’s interest in the art of Peking Opera, which was especially admirable.


Kasi’s strength breaks through the unity of Fu Dalong people and drama, and Ma Yili and Olivia are hard to reconcile.

In the previously exposed trailer of "Entering Beijing", each character’s excellent lines and hidden "divine eye skills" left a very deep impression on the audience.

 

Fu Dalong’s performance, which has always been low-key, is one of the important reasons why many audiences look forward to Entering Beijing. Hu Mei, the "winner of the Triple Crown", plays Yue Jiu, a great master of traditional Chinese opera. You know, this is the first time that Fu Dalong has played a leading role in film and television works. According to director Hu Mei, before the filming, Fu Dalong’s opera skills were close to zero, but he refused to use body double and insisted on going into battle in person in every scene. Therefore, Fu Dalong, with the help of the film drama director Ha Dongxue, practiced hard and sleepless, until he became one with Yue Jiu in appearance and even in psychology, and vividly interpreted the opera realm of "no madness, no survival".

Ma Jinghan, who plays the most opposite role to Fu Dalong, is a well-trained Peking Opera student. This time, he plays Wang Runsheng, a popular martial artist in Chuntai class in the film. From the initial deviant, he later sang the drama "A Thousand Miles to Jingniang" with Yue Jiu on the stage in Beijing, which is a legendary fate.

The performances of Feng Gege and Fang Chunrong’s actors Ma Yili and Olivia, who are deeply involved in Wang Runsheng’s emotional entanglements respectively, are also important points in the film. Feng Gege, played by Ma Yili, has both a mature and steady childe costume and an aristocratic style with gorgeous clothes. Her encounter with Runsheng is like the love of boya in her childhood, and her feelings are hidden.

Fang Chunrong, played by Olivia, once won the screams of many post-90s and even post-00s audiences when the film was screened. Her interpretation of Chunrong reproduces the pure beauty of women in the mountains in detail, and with extremely gentle and charming eyes, it shows the infinite charm of graceful and touching, and teaches Runsheng to treat each other with the warmest feelings. In the film, Fang Chunrong’s time span of nearly 10 years is accurately presented in Olivia’s beautiful, delicate and moving control. She also won her first international film festival trophy — — The Best Supporting Actress Award in the 10th Macau International Film Festival shows its important position in the film.

The emotional entanglement between Chunrong and Gege and Runsheng can be said to be a very heavy plot clue in Entering Beijing. What is the result of this confusing love puzzle, which needs the audience to go to the cinema to reveal it in person.

On the day of release, the film simultaneously exposed the ending song "Who will take care of your beauty" MV, which was sung by Mi Liang, who plays the imperial concubine in the film. The euphemistic singing combined the two musical elements of ancient style and Beijing opera, which made people listen to it and made up for the twists and turns in the film.

 

The roadshow has been reported frequently, and the young audience has recommended it as a domestic platform for good drama.

On May 8th and 9th, "Into the Capital" was shown in several cinemas in Beijing, and the full-house spectacle surprised Hu Mei and Ma Jinghan who attended the post-screening creative exchange meeting.

Surprisingly, most of the praise for movies comes from young audiences who are mainly from the post-90 s and even the post-00 s. In the question-and-answer session of a post-screening communication session, a young movie fan who is only a few years old ran directly to the stage and asked Hu Mei questions. The scene was very interesting and moved other audiences. Hu Mei therefore felt: "Our country now attaches great importance to the education of young people, which is also an important reason why our films can approach young people."

 

At the screening site, many young viewers longed for Hu Mei’s name and specially came to see the true meaning of the new work "Love Bean". Seeing this scene, Ma Jinghan was also "tickled", and immediately opened his mouth with amazement, and performed a classic drama "Dingjun Mountain", which won the applause of the whole hall with his professional opera skills. Not only that, many fans from Ma Yili and Olivia attended the screening.


How does HPV spread?

Original Xu Chao, I’m Chaoski.

After talking about "cauliflower" for so long, the old readers who pay attention to me can be said to be very familiar with it. However, there are still many hin people coming to ask questions about sharp tips every day.

Today, I will tell you enough about condyloma acuminatum once.

Now, if you see friends here, please sit up straight and put down your legs. Let’s begin our little class.

What is condyloma acuminatum?

Condyloma acuminatum, also known as "anal genital warts", usually manifests as soft papules or patches on the external genitalia, perianal skin, perineum or groin.

HPV is a kind of naked double-stranded DNA virus without envelope, belonging to the family Papillomavirus.

At present, among more than 200 subtypes of HPV that have been identified, more than 40 subtypes can spread through sexual contact and infect the anal genital area.

According to the carcinogenicity, HPV is divided into high-risk type and low-risk type. 90%-95% of condyloma acuminatum cases are caused by low-risk HPV types 6 and 11 [1,2].

How is condyloma acuminatum spread?

Human is the only natural reservoir of HPV, and the infected person is the source of HPV infection. There are many HPV in the genital skin mucosa, which is the repository of HPV and the source of virus transmission.

HPV spreads through contact with infected skin or mucosa, and the virus invades epidermal basal cells through tiny scratches. Verruca is not necessary for virus transmission, but it is highly contagious because of its high viral load.

Transmission route

1. Sexual transmission: it is the most important route of transmission, and skin-mucous contact in heterosexual or homosexual sex can cause infection [3].

2. Vertical transmission: It is common for mothers infected with HPV in reproductive tract to transmit it to newborns through placenta and yindao delivery. For example, recurrent papilloma in children’s respiratory tract may be caused by children infected with HPV6/11.

3. Indirect contact transmission: A small number of patients may get sick through non-sexual contact infection. According to some data, 10% of women were infected with HPV before they lived in apricot [4], suggesting that contact between mouth and hands and raw zhi devices can also infect HPV.

HPV infection can enter the incubation period without obvious symptoms and signs. The incubation period is usually 3 weeks to 8 months, with an average of 3 months. Studies have shown that in patients with condyloma acuminatum after new HPV infection, the median time from the detection of HPV6 or HPV11 to the discovery of condyloma acuminatum is 2.9 months [5].

What are the clinical manifestations and symptoms after being infected with condyloma acuminatum?

Appearance and texture: At the initial stage, the lesions of condyloma acuminatum showed local small papules, which gradually increased or increased from the needle to the millet size and spread to the surrounding area. The wart body can be single or multiple, and it can be papillary, cockscomb-shaped, cauliflower-shaped, flat, dome-shaped, filamentous, mushroom-shaped, pedicled, cerebral gyrus-shaped, plaque-like, smooth (especially on penis body) and so on. Condyloma acuminatum is soft to the touch, ranging from 1mm in diameter to several centimeters in size.

Color: Warts vary in color, ranging from pink to crimson (non-keratinizing lesions), gray (severe keratinizing lesions), brown-black (pigmented lesions) and violet.

Location: For boys, condyloma acuminatum mainly occurs in prepuce, Gui head, coronary sulcus, frenulum, Penis, urethral orifice, perianal region and scrotum. Girls are more likely to occur in Labia, urethral orifice, Vagina mouth, perineum, Vagina wall, cervix and perianal region. If anal sex occurs, warts may appear in the perianal region, anal canal and rectum for the recipient. In addition, if oral sex is performed, warts may also appear in the mouth.

Symptoms: There are generally no symptoms after being infected with condyloma acuminatum, which is one of the reasons why many people do not pay attention to or even delay treatment. A few people may have itching, foreign body sensation, pressure or burning sensation. Due to the increase of brittleness of skin lesions and friction, the skin is broken, soaked, eroded, bleeding or secondary infection, resulting in special odor. In addition, female patients may have increased vagina secretion.

Because condyloma acuminatum is easy to recur, or the warts affect daily life, patients often feel shame, social isolation, anxiety, depression, fear and guilt, and they are also worried that condyloma acuminatum will affect future fertility and increase cancer risk.

In addition, condyloma acuminatum also has a great influence on the feelings between sex partner, which may lead to family conflicts and even lead to the breakdown of relationships.

How to diagnose condyloma acuminatum?

Generally speaking, most patients infected with condyloma acuminatum may have contact history, such as multiple sexual partners, high-risk apricot behavior, or sexual partners with infection history, or close indirect contact history with patients with condyloma acuminatum, and so on. Through these medical histories, combined with the typical clinical manifestations of condyloma acuminatum, the diagnosis can be basically made through face-to-face diagnosis.

For those who cannot be clearly diagnosed by face-to-face examination, they can also be diagnosed by auxiliary examination [6].

1. Acetic acid white test: 3%-5% acetic acid solution is wet-applied or coated on the lesion to be examined and the surrounding skin mucosa. Within 3-5 minutes, if you see a uniform whitening area, it is a positive reaction.

2. Dermatoscope: Dermatoscope can non-invasively, quickly and clearly identify skin lesions, hyperplastic blood vessels and structures that cannot be recognized by naked eyes. Many literatures at home and abroad reported that the diagnostic rate of atypical condyloma acuminatum and tiny condyloma acuminatum by dermatoscope was over 90%.

3. Nucleic acid amplification test: HPV in skin lesions was detected by amplifying HPV-specific genes (L1, E6, E7 region genes), and nucleic acid detection methods included polymerase chain reaction (PCR), real-time fluorescence PCR, and in-situ hybridization test with nucleic acid probes.

4. Pathological examination: For typical skin lesions, histopathological biopsy is unnecessary. If there are some conditions such as uncertain diagnosis, pathological examination can be performed.

In addition, for condyloma acuminatum in anus, vagina and urethra, anoscope, colposcope and urethroscope may be needed for auxiliary examination.

How should condyloma acuminatum be treated?

If you are unfortunately infected with condyloma acuminatum, don’t panic, go to the dermatology department of public hospitals as soon as possible, and sometimes go to urology (boys)/gynecology (girls) for treatment.

The purpose of treating condyloma acuminatum is to remove the wart as soon as possible and eliminate the subclinical infection around the wart as much as possible to reduce or prevent recurrence.

Some people found out that the other person had warts after apricot behavior, and asked if they could use blocking drugs. Unfortunately, there are no blocking drugs for HPV (HIV has related blocking drugs).

Not only are there no blocking drugs, but there are no effective antiviral drugs against HPV at present, so it is impossible to eradicate HPV infection by systematic application of antiviral drugs [7].

If you find yourself growing warts, you can use drugs, physics, surgery, chemistry and other methods to remove them. However, at present, there is no definite evidence to show which treatment scheme is superior to other schemes, and no treatment scheme is suitable for all patients and all warts. All treatment methods have a certain recurrence rate.

According to the suggestion of Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines for Condyloma Acuminatum in China (2021 Complete Edition), "The treatment of condyloma Acuminatum can be based on the size, number, location and shape of wart, the patient’s wishes, economic conditions and adverse reactions, and fully consider the individual differences of patients’ age, immune status and compliance, etc." [6].

Drug treatment includes: 0.5% podophyllotoxin tincture, 5% imiquimod cream, 80%-90% trichloroacetic acid solution and so on.

Physical therapy includes: cryotherapy, laser therapy, ionization and high frequency electrotome therapy, etc.

If the number of warts is small, pedicled or large, shearing and excision can be used under local anesthesia, supplemented by electrocautery to destroy the residual warts and control bleeding, without suture.

Photodynamic therapy is suitable for removing small warts and basal therapy after physical therapy to remove large warts. It can be used for the treatment in the cavity such as anal canal, urethral orifice, urethra and cervical canal.

Recurrence and cure

After treatment, condyloma acuminatum is cured by the disappearance of wart body.

However, the recurrence rate of condyloma acuminatum is very high, and the recurrence rate reported by different documents varies greatly, ranging from 10% to 70%. The recurrence rate is the highest within 3 months, and it gradually decreases with time.

At present, most scholars believe that if condyloma acuminatum does not recur after 6-9 months of treatment, the chance of recurrence will be reduced.

Although the recurrence rate of condyloma acuminatum is high, don’t think that you have a "terminal disease" after infection, but have confidence in the treatment.

How to prevent condyloma acuminatum?

Want to prevent condyloma acuminatum, in fact, it is not difficult, four words: "totally".

For people who have no apricot life, there is basically no need to worry about whether they will be infected with condyloma acuminatum. You know, avoiding apricot life is the most reliable way to prevent genital HPV infection.

If you want to have apricot behaviors, don’t engage in unsafe and high-risk apricot behaviors, such as making fire contracts and commercial apricot behaviors. Limiting the number of sex partner can reduce the risk of condyloma acuminatum.

In addition, wearing condoms in apricot life can also prevent condyloma acuminatum to some extent. However, wearing a condom may not be able to protect you, because you may also be infected with HPV in places that are not covered by condoms [8]. Don’t think it’s really safe to wear a condom when unsafe apricot behavior occurs. The safest thing is to avoid high-risk apricot behavior.

Vaccination with HPV vaccine can also prevent HPV infection, and tetravalent or nonavalent HPV vaccine can prevent 90%-95% of condyloma acuminatum. However, if you have been infected with HPV or have grown condyloma acuminatum, it is useless to vaccinate.

I’ve talked so much, I don’t know if you can read it carefully. Mainly because I have received too many inquiries about condyloma acuminatum, I sincerely hope that everyone can protect themselves and others and be healthy.

It’s not easy to write. Don’t you give a "like" or "watching" when you pass by?

Good news! Norovirus tetravalent vaccine developed in China has officially entered clinical research.

  Shanghai, June 4th (Reporter Jiang Hongbing) The tetravalent recombinant norovirus vaccine developed by Shanghai Pasteur Institute of China Academy of Sciences has been approved by National Medical Products Administration recently, and has officially entered clinical research as a national class I preventive biological product.

  Norovirus is the number one pathogen of acute viral gastroenteritis. How to develop a vaccine with broad protection has been an international problem for decades. Huang Zhong, a researcher from Shanghai Pasteur Institute, led the research team to construct a multivalent recombinant Norovirus vaccine prototype based on virus-like particles (VLP) by using genetic engineering technology. In April 2015, the Institute signed a cooperation agreement with Zhifei Bio to jointly develop a multivalent norovirus vaccine. The two sides worked together to tackle key problems, and it took four years to complete the pre-clinical research and development and clinical trial application of tetravalent recombinant norovirus vaccine (Pichia pastoris), and now it has been approved to carry out clinical trials. The vaccine contains recombinant virus-like particle antigens of four major Norovirus epidemic genotypes, which can theoretically prevent 80%— 90% norovirus infection and acute gastroenteritis caused by norovirus are the multivalent norovirus vaccine with the second highest clinical license price in the world.

Five elements of healthy hotpot

  I don’t know when hot pot was labeled as "harmful to health". In fact, compared with traditional ordering, eating hot pot is more flexible and convenient in the selection and collocation of ingredients. As long as you pay attention to the following points, you can give consideration to health and delicious food.

  The bottom material is less salt and less oil. Eating hot pot, clear soup pot bottom with less salt and oil or mushroom soup pot bottom is the first choice. If they don’t taste good enough, you can also choose the bottom of the pot boiled with tomatoes or ketchup. If you like the bottom of the pot with spicy taste, it is recommended to skim off the Chili oil as much as possible before cooking the ingredients. If you still feel too greasy, you can prepare a small bowl of boiled water, dip the fished ingredients in water and eat them. People who love spicy food can also add appropriate peppers to their own small saucers.

  The ingredients are balanced. Eating hot pot is easy to diversify the ingredients, and most of the ingredients can be eaten by rinsing, such as green leafy vegetables, mushrooms, bean products, fish and shrimp, red meat, potatoes and so on. In addition, we should also pay attention to the balanced collocation between various ingredients. To eat one serving of meat, we need at least two servings of vegetables to match it, and it is best to eat vegetables while eating meat. It should be reminded that visceral foods such as pig brain are very delicious, but the cholesterol is much higher than that of normal red meat (lean pork contains 81 mg of cholesterol per 100 grams, lean beef is 58 mg, and pig liver, cow brain and pig brain are 288 mg, 2447 mg and 2571 mg respectively), so the frequency and amount of eating must be as little as possible, especially for people with hyperlipidemia.

  Dip in spices. Whether it is sesame sauce leek flower material or sesame oil garlic juice material, the fat content is very considerable. And most dip materials have high salt content, and there are various freshness-enhancing umami agents. After a hot pot, eat two small bowls of dip, and it is likely that the oil and salt are far beyond the standard. To rinse hot pot, you can use spice ingredients such as millet pepper, ginger, coriander, lime, garlic and other traditional dipping materials, which can not only reduce the intake of oil and salt, but also ensure that the dipping materials are tasty enough.

  Drinks are low in sugar at room temperature. Eating hot pot is easy to eat and eat more, so don’t make sugary drinks "worse". Try to choose boiled water for drinks, or you can choose sugar-free or low-sugar lemonade, light tea, soybean milk and so on. In addition, many people think it will be more refreshing to drink a large glass of iced drink while eating hot pot. But such a cold and a hot will strongly stimulate the stomach, and even lead to stomach cramps or stomachaches. Therefore, eat hot pot and drink less iced drinks, and choose some warm herbal tea or vegetable protein drinks.

  Rinse potatoes first. When you start to rinse the pot, after skimming the floating oil at the bottom of the pot, rinse potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes and other potatoes that can be used as vegetables and staple foods to protect the gastrointestinal tract; Eating vegetables early can increase satiety in advance, otherwise, not only the satiety is not strong, but also the intake of too much oil and purine. If it is a mandarin duck pot, try to rinse the vegetables on the side of the broth to avoid excessive oil intake. In addition, the delicious hot pot soup after rinsing is the favorite of many people. As everyone knows, a lot of purine has been dissolved in this soup, and drinking too much may cause gout. There are also seafood, sauerkraut pot bottom, nitrite content is not low, which is harmful to health. Therefore, it is best not to drink hot pot soup cooked for a long time. ▲

Cats in History-Cats in Ancient Egyptian, Jewish and Medieval Manuscripts

        "Cats’ shovel slave" has become a proud nickname for a large number of cat lovers. For many young artists, the elegance, charm and mystery of cats provide endless comfort and warmth for their lives. In history, cats, a mysterious creature, have also experienced the fate of being respected or slaughtered.

        According to a study in Science in 2007, there is almost no difference in gene arrangement between the subspecies of modern domestic cats and the wild cats in the Middle East, which proves that domestic cats really originated from the Middle East alone. Archaeologists once found a wild cat buried in a man’s cemetery about 9500 years ago in Cyprus, which provided some evidence for the early relationship between human beings and cats. In the ruins of Quanhu Village in China (Yangshao and Longshan Cultural Sites in Neolithic Age), eight bones of two cats dating back to 5,300 years have also been found. According to the collagen isotope analysis of their bones, the food of these two cats is mainly meat and millet, which proves that these cats are probably fed by humans.

        In the medieval and early modern history of Europe, there have been many large-scale massacres against cats, and they are often associated with witch hunting. Why did Christian culture in the late Middle Ages have such a strong hatred for cats?

        This story begins with the ancient Egyptian civilization in the Middle East, the birthplace of domestic cats.

The Best God of Ancient Egypt: the Golden Age of Cats

        Among ancient civilizations, the worship of cats by Egyptians was the most striking. In Egyptian mythology, the sun god Dora once turned into a cat, defeating the python Apophis, which prevented the sun from rising and setting in the west, so people regarded the cat as the incarnation of the god. As early as the second dynasty (2890 BC), the worship of the cat god Best appeared in Lower Egypt and the Nile Delta. In Upper Egypt, Sekhmet, the god of war and healing, mainly appeared as a lion-faced woman. After the unification of upper and lower Egypt, around the first Millennium BC, the God Best and the God Sehmet gradually merged and appeared as a cat-faced woman. Especially after the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt moved its capital to Thebes, the image of the cat god Best became more fixed.

Cat god best

        With the popularity of domestic cats in Egypt, the image of their gods has gradually changed from the god of war to the god who guards their homes, but it still has the symbolic significance of Pharaoh defenders. For example, in the Middle Kingdom period, the statue of Best depicted a cat face, but it often attached a lion face mask to show its original wildness and strength.

        Herodotus, a Greek historian, visited babs in Egypt in 450 BC, leaving us a precious record of cat worship. He wrote that in this place, if you deliberately kill a cat, you will be sentenced to death; For manslaughter, a considerable amount of money should be compensated according to the requirements of the priestess. If the domestic cat dies (mostly due to food poisoning or being bitten by other wild animals), the whole family should shave their eyebrows to express their condolences, otherwise the best god will suffer.

        The dead cat will be sent to the temple to be mummified and buried. At the end of 19th century, a cat graveyard was found in Egypt, in which about 300,000 cats were buried. These cats were all painted with spices and mummified, and even there were mice and thread balls for cats to play in the tomb. In addition, in the event of a fire, if the ancient Egyptians saw a cat walking through the fire, they would hold a grand mourning ceremony, because it represented that the cat god was alleviating the disaster for others.

Cat Mummies in Ancient Egypt

        Domestic cats in ancient Egypt mainly prevented mice from stealing food. In addition, cats can also fight snakes, thus giving them a noble and mysterious power, which is also in line with the legend of pulling gods and fighting python in Egyptian mythology. In addition to catching mice, domestic cats often go hunting with their owners. In the British Museum, there is a picture of "Cats Hunting" in ancient Egypt.

        During the new dynasty, many women who want to have children will also wear amulets painted with the cat god Best, and the number of kittens depicted on the amulets represents the number of children they wish to have. By Ptolemy’s time, Egypt was gradually influenced by Hellenism, and Best, the cat god representing the moon, was also interpreted by the Greeks as a variant of Al themis. When the Romans occupied Egypt, especially the rise of Christianity, this pagan worship gradually disappeared.

Cats in Jewish culture

        Some people think that the negative Christian view of cats comes from the fact that there is no record of this animal in the Bible. However, on closer examination, this explanation is far-fetched.

        Although there are no cats in the Bible, there have been many other big cats, especially lions and leopards. For example, in Genesis, Jacob, the Jewish ancestor, blessed his son Judas and said, "Judas is a lion cub; My son, you come up after hunting food, prostrate yourself like a lion and a lioness. Who dares to disturb you? "

        Some people think that cats are not recorded in the Bible because Egyptians worship cat gods, while Jews regard them as idolatry and do not record them. However, other animal gods worshipped by Egyptians are often recorded in the Bible. Some later generations explained that although Jews were imprisoned in Egypt for 400 years, they probably did not know the existence of domestic cats. Because the Egyptians regarded cats as gods, they were not easily contacted by Jews who were slaves. In addition, there were almost no cats in the early Greek and Roman civilization, and they didn’t know about the existence of domestic cats until they conquered Egypt.

        It is worth noting that there is indeed a description of cats in the Talmud. One of them said, "If God had not promulgated the Torah for us, we would have learned humility from cats." (Eruvin, 100b) A 9th-century rabbi’s exegesis book records that cats’ modesty is mainly reflected in the fact that they often cover their faces. Moreover, cats have the habit of burying excrement and cleaning their bodies, which also makes Jews who like cleanliness regard them as virtue teachers in life.

        There are also negative records about cats in the Talmud. A rabbi’s student asked him why dogs know their owners, but cats can’t. The rabbi replied that because cats eat mice, their memory declines; The more mice cats eat, the worse their memory. However, in Jewish customs, there is no taboo about cats, especially black cats, in Christianity later.

Chapter "Ode to Domestic and Wild Animals" in Ode to the Universe

        Perek Shirah, a Jewish religious reading about the 10th century, depicts various scenes in which creatures praise the creator. Among them, the eulogy sung by cats comes from a famous sentence in the Psalms: "I pursued my enemies and captured them until they were wiped out and never returned." Obviously, the image of cats as hunters is still highly praised in Jewish culture.

        In the Middle Ages, Jews living in Gedu also kept cats, mainly to prevent mice from eating the Bible and stealing food. During the Black Death, the existence of domestic cats in Jewish communities also largely resisted the spread of plague. Of course, some studies have pointed out that Jews’ eating habits and living environment may protect them to a greater extent. Because in the late Middle Ages and early modern times, many people at the bottom of western Europe ate rat meat, which also provided more opportunities for fleas who spread plague, while Jews were often spared because of the clean diet law. However, these in turn strengthened the hatred of Jews and cats in Western Europe, believing that it was they who secretly spread the Black Death.

Cats in monasteries and manuscripts

        The Christian world was not hostile to cats from the beginning. In medieval monasteries, cats have always existed, and their figures have been preserved through medieval manuscripts. In addition to the collection of animal fables, the image of cats appears in the margins of medieval manuscripts, which is quite entertaining. According to the research of St. isidore, the origin of the Latin name (catus) of cats means "catching". Although this is not the case in etymology, it also shows that in the eyes of medieval people, the main function of cats is to catch mice, and they are endowed with the image of hunters.

        Rats have always been the natural enemies of books, and the traces of these small animals have survived for thousands of years through manuscripts.

A manuscript of the Comfort of Philosophy by Boethius bitten by a mouse Corpus Christi College Cambridge, MS 214, Fol. 122r.        

        The most unacceptable thing for people is that rats will chew the candles in the church and even steal the Eucharist (unleavened bread) placed in the Eucharist niche. This is a great blasphemy! In a collection of animal fables in the mid-13th century, it was described that big cats caught mice that ate the Eucharist.

The mouse steals the Eucharist, the cat catches the mouse, and at the bottom there is a cat who is playing an instrument, Harley MS 4751, F.30V.        

        In addition to eating manuscripts and stealing the Eucharist from the church, mice also ate the cheese of monks, which was quite expensive food in Europe at that time. In a medieval manuscript about the late 11th century, it depicts a mouse climbing onto the dining table and stealing Hildebert’s cheese. Hildebert holds a stone for killing. At the table, a big cat depicted as a lion is majestically guarding the manuscript copied by its owner. The most interesting thing is that when I carefully observed the manuscript spread out in front of Hildebert, I found that it was actually a curse on the mouse: "The meanest mouse, you often annoy me." Let God destroy you! " (Pessime mus, sepius me provocas ad iram; ut te deus perdat)

Hildebert and the cat and mouse, Prague, capitular library, codex a 21/1, fol.153r.      

        An Irish monk in the 9th century once wrote a touching poem for his cat. In his works, the kitten’s hunting life is integrated with his own academic exploration. The little white cat in the famous animated film The Secret of Kells comes from this poem called Pangur Bán (excerpt):

        Me and my little white cat Pangu,

        Engaged in similar affairs.

        Its fun is catching mice,

        I chased the words all night.

        

        The praise of the world,

        Far less than sitting alone with books and pens.

        ……

        How sweet this job is to us,

        How fascinated we are with this job.

        ……

        We find our own peace in our work,

        I have mine, my cat Pangu has its own, joy.

        In our respective arts, we find our own ecstasy,

        I have mine, it has its own.

        

        I’m practicing my skills day and night,

        Pangu is also perfecting its skills.

        My wisdom is growing day and night,

        Turn the long night into endless light.        

        However, not all cats are so unpopular. A 1445 manuscript left a cat paw print, and the owner of the manuscript must have been very upset at that time. However, this is not the most distressing thing. A manuscript written in about 1420 records the curse on cats, because the scribe found that cats peed in the manuscript he copied. Therefore, the scribe had to stop copying on this half page, and explained the reason and the warning to future generations: "There is nothing missing here, but a cat spilled urine on it one night." I’m going to curse the cat that peed on my book here in Fintel one night, and curse other cats because of it. Be careful not to leave the book open where the cat may sneak in. "

        In addition, in the depiction of the Middle Ages, cats were often associated with string players, which may be due to the similarity of their beards and strings. For example, in an early 14th century Book of Hours, several kittens were elegantly playing three-stringed instruments.

Domestic large four-engine UAV successfully made its first flight.

  A few days ago, at Fengming Navigation Airport in Zigong, Sichuan, a large-scale four-engine drone codenamed "Double-tailed Scorpion D" entered the runway independently and took off smoothly. After flying for 18 minutes, it landed smoothly, and the whole flight was trouble-free. The first flight was a complete success.

  This type of UAV is a large-scale four-engine UAV independently researched and developed in China, with complete intellectual property rights. It has larger loading space, heavier loading capacity, stronger power support and higher system reliability and flight safety. It can carry more high-performance mission loads and perform support tasks such as freight logistics, aviation broadcasting and mission load use.

  This time, the large-scale four-engine UAV achieved its first flight, further enriching the application scenarios of commercial large-scale UAVs, and also marking that China’s large-scale UAV industry has the ability to quickly develop and respond to different market needs. "Double-tailed Scorpion D" will be transferred to Zhuhai after its successful first flight, and will be unveiled at the upcoming 14th China Air Show.
