Can "insured price limit" stabilize the property market? The industry thinks there is only one result.

  Near the end of the year, many real estate projects started more discount promotion activities in order to withdraw funds as soon as possible, which triggered the dissatisfaction of some pre-purchase owners.

  In this regard, the relevant government departments in different cities have given completely different responses, which are basically divided into two factions — —

  Some government departments have recently stated that they will not interfere with the independent price adjustment of real estate, and some government departments in some cities still say that they will talk to real estate enterprises to avoid their price reduction behavior disrupting market order.

  In fact, from the second half of 2021 to the first half of 2023, under the downward pressure of the property market, many real estate enterprises have tried to promote sales through price reduction, while many local governments will stabilize market prices through a paper "limit order".

  An obvious change now is that the local government’s restrictions on the price reduction of new houses are being liberalized. Some experts told CBN that the "limit order" in some places has long been unbearable. In order to clear the warehouse and withdraw funds, housing enterprises will operate various names to secretly reduce prices and avoid the "limit order". The gradual cancellation of the "limit order" will help the market restore liquidity to a certain extent.

  Two options

  In the past month, new commercial housing in several hot cities began a new round of price reduction, which caused some owners’ dissatisfaction and complaints.

  The First Financial Reporter saw at the "Hanshan Wenzhong" forum hosted by the Suzhou Municipal Government that some netizens complained recently that the price reduction rate of Poly Yunshang Streamer Project in Xiangcheng District of Suzhou was originally 20% off, and then it was directly reduced to 75% off, and the total price dropped from more than 2.2 million to 2.1 million yuan. "In less than two months, the price was reduced by 100,000 to 200,000 yuan." The netizen also questioned that there is such a large price reduction in the short term of the auction property, which may affect the delivery quality behind it.

  Regarding this complaint, the Eighth Branch of Suzhou Xiangcheng District Market Supervision Administration responded: "The simple discount promotion behavior does not violate the relevant provisions of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Price Law."

  On the "Leadership Message Board" forum hosted by People’s Daily Online, there are many similar complaints.

  Some netizens in Huizhou, Guangdong Province said on the "Leadership Message Board": "The developers of new houses in Daya Bay maliciously cut prices, and the market is completely chaotic, which will only be more unsalable." The netizen said that in the past, the price limit of new houses in Daya Bay should not exceed 10% on the basis of the filing price, and the discount on group purchase price should not be lower than 20%. However, many properties engaged in price competition, and the market showed a discount of 30% or even lower. "When the old owner bought a house, the interest rate was ridiculously high. The total interest was several hundred thousand yuan more than what he bought now. There was nowhere to complain, and the house had not been closed, and the house price lost several hundred thousand."

  Regarding this netizen’s complaint, the Housing Management Bureau of Huizhou Daya Bay Economic and Technological Development Zone replied in November this year: "The problem of price reduction sales is a matter of independent market adjustment, which is determined by developers and enterprises according to the influence of market factors. Regarding preferential compensation and refund for check-out, we suggest that you can negotiate with the development enterprise according to the agreement signed by both parties. If negotiation fails, you can safeguard your legitimate rights and interests through legal channels. "

  Judging from the above response, the attitude of the relevant departments in Xiangcheng District of Suzhou and Daya Bay Economic and Technological Development Zone of Huizhou is "returning the market to the market", and the government departments no longer interfere too much in the pricing of new houses.

  However, other local government departments have different responses.

  For example, on November 11th this year, a property buyer in Jiaxing, Zhejiang complained on People’s Daily Online’s "Leadership Message Board" that the local outstanding Xiuchen Huafu had drastically reduced its price, and the developer used the name of "Double Eleven" to significantly reduce the price and promote sales, and gave the buyer a huge discount of 200,000 yuan in cash by using internal employees to purchase their own houses and work to arrive at the house, which "seriously disrupted the new house market and harmed the interests of early buyers".

  The Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Xiuzhou District, Jiaxing responded to this netizen, saying: Regarding this situation, our bureau has conducted an interview with the local government on the development enterprise, asking the enterprise to avoid the behavior that seriously disrupts the new house sales market, and at the same time, our bureau will further strengthen the quality and fund supervision of the project to ensure the normal project.

  On November 22nd and 24th this year, many Chengdu residents reported on the online mass work platform in Sichuan Province that the price of the Poly COFCO Huguang Jinyun Project in the East New District of Chengdu was "maliciously reduced to disrupt the market", and the licensed price of the project was 15,000-17,000 yuan/square meter, but it was later sold at an average price of 9,000 yuan/square meter, with a drop of more than 40%.

  The Management Committee of Chengdu East New District immediately responded that the Public Service Bureau of the district had verified the situation. The Huguang Jinyun project was suspected of disturbing the normal order of the real estate market due to excessive price fluctuations, and it was temporarily unable to apply for online signing and filing.

  More than 20 cities have issued "limit orders"

  Some cities began to relax the "limit" requirement for new houses, which is a new trend recently.

  From the second half of 2021 to the first half of 2023, under the downward pressure of the property market, many properties tried to promote sales through price reduction, but they waited for a "limit order" from the local government.

  According to incomplete statistics, at least 22 cities (or districts) including Heze, Shandong, Yueyang, Hunan, Kunming, Hebei, Tangshan, Shenyang, Liaoning, Jiangyin, Jiangsu and Zhuzhou, Hunan have issued relevant regulations, requiring new commercial housing not to be sold at a reduced price at will.

  For example, in June 2022, many departments of Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone in Fujian jointly issued the Notice on Further Standardizing the Order of Commercial Housing Sales Market in the Experimental Zone, which mentioned that when selling commercial housing, the actual sales price of real estate development enterprises should not exceed 15% of the filing price, and if it exceeds the prescribed range, it will not be filed for online signing.

  In other cities, the limit of decline is even less, only 5% lower than the filing price. At the end of March, 2023, the Hefei Municipal People’s Government replied to the buyers in the "Leadership Message Board", saying: According to the Price Law, the Notice on Forwarding the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Provisions on Clearly Marking the Price of Commercial Housing in Anhui Province, and the General Office of Hefei Municipal Government’s Opinions on Further Promoting the Stable and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Market in Hefei, the price of commercial housing is regulated by the market, and the government price management department does not directly approve the price of commercial housing. Enterprises in accordance with the "one room, one price" for the record, according to the record price for publicity and external sales. The downward range of the actual sales price of commercial housing shall not exceed 5% of the filing price. If it exceeds 5%, it is necessary to re-apply for price change procedures through the "house price online filing system".

  At that time, the Development and Reform Commission of Feixi County, Hefei ordered the company to suspend the sale at a reduced price, and it must re-apply for price change procedures before it can be listed for sale.

  Suzhou, which has recently led the new trend of "relaxing the price limit of new houses", was punished for reducing the price of real estate just over half a year ago, which once triggered a heated discussion.

  In May this year, two properties in Kunshan, Suzhou — — Mengzhiyue Garden Project and Shangbin Garden Project were punished by local government departments in Kunshan for "selling at a large price without authorization". The two projects were required to be rectified immediately, and the online sign was temporarily closed. "Bad behavior" was recorded in the annual credit file.

  Expert: canceling the "limit order" is conducive to market liquidity.

  “‘ Limit the decline ’ Or ‘ Insured price ’ This is a difficult multi-party game. " A senior person from a large real estate company in East China told the First Financial Reporter.

  The source said that many real estate developers who have worked for a long time have experienced the cycle of real estate price increase. At that time, it was easy to sell houses, and customers would come to the door themselves. The marketing department also had to introduce various rules to screen customers. He believes that the real estate project will eventually come to the step of drastically reducing prices and promoting sales, which is bound to be a helpless move. "The project may have faced long-term unsalable sales, or the group may have difficulties in funds, and issued instructions to quickly destock and withdraw funds. This is the market difference and the effect of the superposition of problems in the capital chain of housing enterprises."

  "Generally speaking, in a region, several projects on sale at the same time are competing products. In this market environment, it is possible for the first to cut prices to run first, attracting customers who are interested in buying houses in the region, and the remaining projects are very difficult to do. There is basically no market with no price reduction. If you follow the trend of price reduction, the market atmosphere will be worse and a vicious circle will occur." He said.

  For some places, the price reduction of housing enterprises is no longer restricted. He believes that in the past, most local governments had the idea of "stabilizing housing prices and stabilizing land prices", so they will control the price of new houses to remain stable. However, if the "limit order" has been implemented for a long time, the market has not improved, and local governments will consider handing over prices to the market for regulation.

  Regarding the relaxation of the price limit of new houses, a salesperson of a first-tier real estate enterprise in Suzhou told reporters: "The first ones that drastically cut prices are the ones that are just needed. Customers are very sensitive to prices, and the price reduction strategy is more effective for them. However, for improved real estate, the price is difficult to drop, and price reduction means lowering the standard, so the situation of quality real estate in this environment is rather embarrassing. "

  The source said that as far as she knows, some housing enterprises are facing serious capital turnover problems by the end of the year, and there is no better way to inform subsidiaries to clear their positions and withdraw funds as soon as possible.

  Lu Wenxi, a senior analyst of Zhongyuan Real Estate, believes that although many places have issued "limit orders" in the past, after a long time, everyone found that "limit orders" could not really control the price reduction behavior of housing enterprises. "For example, some local governments stipulate that the discount rate of real estate should not exceed 15% of the filing price. Although real estate enterprises claim not to discount in actual operation, there are many other names, such as sending property management fees for several years, sending parking spaces, and even sending gold and cash to real estate enterprises. In fact, the limit order has already been ‘ In name only ’ 。”

  For many homeowners who have complained about the sharp price cuts of real estate enterprises, Lu Wenxi believes that buyers need to have the spirit of contract and be responsible for their own investment behavior.

  "After buying a house, the owner found that the house price has fallen and asked the government not to let the developer reduce the price. This request is unreasonable. The local government’s protection of the rights and interests of buyers should be reflected in urging housing enterprises to ensure that the houses are delivered on time and in good quality, instead of going to ceiling price. " Lu Wenxi told the First Financial Reporter.

  He believes that many local governments have liberalized the price of new houses in order to maintain the liquidity of the real estate market. "If we blindly limit the price reduction of real estate enterprises, the market will be completely illiquid and completely frozen, but it will bring more problems and contradictions. Therefore, at this stage, we should let the market play its price adjustment mechanism and let the transaction volume climb up, so that the real estate sales end can recover."

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.

Notice of the People’s Bank of China on strengthening the management of payment and settlement and preventing new illegal crimes in telecommunication networks

Yinfa [2016] No.261

China People’s Bank Shanghai Headquarters, branches, business management departments, city center branches of provincial capitals, and Shenzhen center branch; China Development Bank, policy banks, state-owned commercial banks, joint-stock commercial banks and China Postal Savings Bank; China UnionPay Co., Ltd., China Payment and Clearing Association; All non-bank payment institutions:

  In order to effectively prevent new types of illegal crimes in telecommunication networks and effectively protect people’s property safety and legitimate rights and interests, relevant matters concerning strengthening payment and settlement management are hereby notified as follows:

  First, strengthen the management of real-name account system

  (1) Comprehensively promote the classified management of individual accounts.

  1. Personal bank settlement account. Since December 1, 2016, if a banking financial institution (hereinafter referred to as a bank) opens a bank settlement account for an individual, the same person can only open a Class I account in the same bank (taking a legal person as the unit, the same below), and has already opened a Class I account. If a new account is opened, a Class II account or a Class III account shall be opened. If a bank charges off-site handling fees for off-site deposit and withdrawal, transfer and other services within the bank, it shall be free within three months from the date of promulgation of this notice.

  If an individual opens more than one Class I account in the same bank before November 30, 2016, the bank shall clean up the situation of a large number of accounts opened by the same depositor and ask the depositor to make an explanation to verify the rationality of his account opening. If it is impossible to verify the rationality of opening an account, the bank should guide depositors to cancel or merge their accounts, or take measures such as reducing the category of accounts, so that depositors can use the account classification mechanism to deposit funds reasonably and protect the safety of funds.

  2. Personal payment account. Since December 1, 2016, if a non-bank payment institution (hereinafter referred to as the payment institution) opens a payment account for an individual, the same person can only open a Class III account in the same payment institution. The payment institution shall complete the clearing of existing payment accounts before November 30, 2016, contact the account holder to confirm the accounts that need to be kept, and reduce the category management or merge the remaining accounts; If the account holder fails to confirm the account within the specified time, the payment institution shall keep the account with high frequency of use and large amount, and can make changes according to its application later.

  (2) Suspending the business of all accounts under the name of the account holder involved. Since January 1, 2017, if the bank account and payment account used by criminals to carry out new illegal crimes in the telecommunication network have been identified by the public security organs at or above the municipal level and included in the list of "accounts involved" in the risk event management platform for new illegal and criminal transactions in the telecommunication network, banks and payment institutions will suspend all business of the account.

  Banks and payment institutions shall notify the account holder involved to re-verify his identity. If he fails to re-verify his identity with the bank or payment institution within 3 days, he shall suspend off-counter business for other bank accounts under the account holder’s name, and suspend all business for the payment account. After the bank and payment institution re-verify the identity of the account holder, they can resume other account businesses except the account involved; If the account holder confirms that the account has been opened under another person’s false name, he shall issue a statement to the bank and payment institution that the account has been opened under a false identity and agrees to cancel the account, and the bank and payment institution shall cancel the account.

  (3) establishing a disciplinary mechanism for buying and selling bank accounts and payment accounts, and opening accounts under false names. Since January 1, 2017, banks and payment institutions have suspended the off-counter business of bank accounts and all the business of payment accounts for the units and individuals who have been identified by the public security organs at or above the municipal level with districts as renting, lending, selling or purchasing bank accounts (including bank cards, the same below) and related organizers, and the units and individuals who have opened bank accounts or payment accounts under the guise of other people’s identities or fictitious agency relationships for three years. The People’s Bank of China will transfer the information of the above-mentioned units and individuals to the basic database of financial credit information and announce it to the public.

  (four) to strengthen the punishment of false accounts. When a bank handles the account opening business, it finds that an individual has opened an account by using someone else’s identity, and it shall report the case to the public security organ in time and hand over the identity certificate that has been used fraudulently to the public security organ.

  (5) Establish a prudent verification mechanism for unit account opening. Banks and payment institutions are not allowed to open accounts for units that are listed in the "list of serious illegal and untrustworthy enterprises" by the national enterprise credit information publicity system and verified by banks and payment institutions that the registered address of the unit does not exist or that the business premises are fictitious. Banks and payment institutions should check whether the enterprise is a serious illegal enterprise at least quarterly. If the situation is true, they should suspend their business within 3 months and gradually clean up.

  Banks and payment institutions should strengthen the verification of the unit’s willingness to open an account if there are abnormal situations such as the legal representative or responsible person’s unclear business scale and business background of the unit, and the registered place and business place are in different places. The bank shall sign the face-to-face with the legal representative or responsible person and keep the video and audio materials, etc. In principle, the non-counter business will not be opened at the initial stage of account opening, and it will be cautiously opened after further understanding. The payment institution shall keep the video and audio materials when the legal representative or person in charge of the unit opens an account.

  When a payment institution opens a payment account as a unit, it shall refer to Article 17, Article 24 and Article 26 of the Measures for the Administration of RMB Bank Settlement Accounts (promulgated by Order No.5 of the People’s Bank of China [2003]), require the unit to provide relevant supporting documents, and independently or entrust a cooperative institution to verify the identity of customers face to face, or conduct multiple cross-verification on the basic information of the unit through at least three legal and safe external channels in a non-face-to-face manner. For the unit that has opened a payment account before the date of issuance of this notice, the payment institution shall verify its identity according to the above requirements before the end of June 2017, and may not open a new payment account for it before the verification is completed; If the verification is not completed within the time limit, the payment account will only accept and not pay. After the payment institution completes the verification, it will report the relevant information to the branch of the People’s Bank of China where the legal person is located.

  Payment institutions should strengthen the monitoring of capital transactions and continuous customer management in using personal payment accounts to carry out business activities.

  (six) to strengthen the audit of abnormal account opening behavior. In any of the following circumstances, banks and payment institutions have the right to refuse to open an account:

  1. There are doubts about the identity information of the units and individuals, and the units and individuals refuse to show their auxiliary certificates.

  2. Units and individuals organize others to open accounts at the same time or in batches.

  3. There are obvious reasons to suspect that opening an account is engaged in illegal and criminal activities.

  Banks and payment institutions should strengthen the monitoring of account trading activities. For accounts with no transaction records within 6 months from the date of opening an account, banks should suspend their off-counter business, payment institutions should suspend all their business, and banks and payment institutions can resume their business after re-verifying their identities with units and individuals.

  (seven) strictly contact the corresponding relationship between the telephone number and the ID number. Banks and payment institutions shall establish a one-to-one correspondence between the contact telephone number and the number of personal identity documents, investigate and clean up the situation that many people use the same contact telephone number to open and use accounts, and contact relevant parties for confirmation. For adults to represent minors or the elderly to open an account and reserve their own contact telephone number, the relevant parties can keep it unchanged after issuing instructions; If the unit opens an account in batches and reserves the contact telephone number of financial personnel, it shall be changed to the contact telephone number of the account owner himself; If the rationality cannot be proved, the non-counter business shall be suspended in the relevant bank account, and all business shall be suspended in the payment account.

  Second, strengthen transfer management

  (8) Increase transfer methods and adjust transfer time. Since December 1, 2016, banks and payment institutions shall implement the following provisions when providing transfer services:

  1. Provide depositors with a variety of transfer methods, such as real-time account arrival, ordinary account arrival and next-day account arrival, and depositors can only handle business after selecting them.

  2. In addition to transferring money to my peer account, if an individual transfers money through self-service teller machines (including other self-service devices with deposit and withdrawal functions, the same below), the issuing bank will handle the fund transfer after 24 hours of acceptance. Within 24 hours after the issuing bank accepts the transfer, the individual may apply to the issuing bank for cancellation of the transfer. The accepting bank shall clearly indicate the processing time and revocable provisions of the transfer business in the acceptance result interface.

  3. If the bank handles the transfer business for individuals through self-service teller machines, it shall add Chinese voice prompts, and set anti-fraud reminders through words, signs, pop-ups and so on; The non-Chinese prompt interface shall provide Chinese prompts for core key fields such as fund transfer. If it is impossible to prompt, no transfer shall be provided.

  (9) Strengthen the management of off-counter bank transfers. Since December 1, 2016, when a bank opens a non-counter transfer business for depositors, it shall sign an agreement with depositors to stipulate the daily cumulative limit, the number of transactions and the annual cumulative limit for the transfer of non-counter channels to different bank accounts and payment accounts. If the limit and the number of transactions are exceeded, it shall be handled at the bank counter.

  In addition to transferring money to my peers’ accounts, banks handle off-counter transfer business for individuals. If the accumulated amount in a single day exceeds 50,000 yuan, safe and reliable payment instruction verification methods such as digital certificates or electronic signatures shall be adopted. If the single-day cumulative amount of non-counter transfer in a bank account of a unit or individual exceeds 1 million yuan and 300,000 yuan respectively, the bank shall remind the unit or individual of the large transaction before the transfer can be made.

  (ten) to strengthen the management of payment account transfer. Since December 1, 2016, when a payment institution opens a payment account for a unit or individual, it shall sign an agreement with the unit or individual to stipulate the daily cumulative transfer limit and the number of transactions between the payment account and the payment account and between the payment account and the bank account. If it exceeds the limit and the number of transactions, it shall not handle the transfer business again.

  (eleven) to strengthen the transaction background investigation. If banks and payment institutions find that there are a large number of transfer-in and transfer-out transactions in their accounts, they should investigate the transaction background of units or individuals in accordance with the principle of "know your customers". If any abnormality is found, relevant services provided to units and individuals shall be adjusted according to the principle of prudence.

  (twelve) to strengthen the fund settlement management of special merchants. When banks and payment institutions provide T+0 fund settlement services for special merchants, they shall strengthen transaction monitoring and risk management for special merchants, and shall not provide T+0 fund settlement services for special merchants who have been online for less than 90 days or have been trading normally for less than 30 days.

  Third, strengthen the management of bank card business

  (thirteen) strictly review the qualifications of special merchants and standardize the management of accepting terminals. No unit or individual may buy or sell POS machines (including MPOS), credit card readers and other acceptance terminals online.

The business function will be stopped for accepting terminals that are illegally transferred and cannot confirm the actual place of use. Banks and payment institutions shall form inspection reports for future reference before November 30, 2016.

  (fourteen) to establish and improve the information management system and blacklist management mechanism of special merchants. China Payment and Clearing Association and bank card clearing institutions shall establish and improve the information management system of special merchants, and organize banks and payment institutions to record the basic information of special merchants, the start and termination of services, and the compliance risk status in detail.

Banks and payment institutions shall not expand the blacklisted units and units with relevant individuals as legal representatives or responsible persons into special merchants; If it has been expanded into a special merchant, it shall be retired within 10 days from the date when the special merchant is blacklisted.

  Fourth, strengthen the monitoring of suspicious transactions

Never forget the home country | "Heroes are the brightest coordinates of the nation"

"The economy has developed, but the spirit has lost. Can that country be called strong?" On March 18th, 2014, the question raised by General Secretary of the Supreme Leader at the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of Lankao County Committee in Henan Province was thought-provoking.

A nation without spiritual strength can hardly strive for self-improvement. The reason why the Chinese nation can be reborn after suffering setbacks is precisely because the national spirit has provided strong support.

In 2016, at the opening ceremony of the 10th National Congress of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the 9th National Congress of the Chinese Writers Association, the General Secretary pointed out that the motherland is the most solid support of the people and the hero is the brightest coordinate of the nation.

Coordinate is an important tool for us to position ourselves and know the world, and it is also our goal direction and spiritual guidance on the road of life.

The general secretary asked for heroes as "coordinates", which conveyed deep-seated culture and values. This is the respect and admiration for heroes, but also the inheritance and promotion of heroic spirit and heroic quality.

In September 2015, during the 26th collective study in the 18th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, the General Secretary talked about the letters from the martyrs of Zhao Yiman.

He pointed out that the letters from these revolutionary martyrs are the most vivid and convincing teaching materials for the education of ideals and beliefs, and they should be compiled into volumes and distributed to party member and cadres, and everyone should read and think about them frequently.

In September 2018, during an inspection tour in Fushun, Liaoning Province, the General Secretary went to lei feng memorial to visit Lei Feng’s handwriting, relics and photos to learn about his life story.

He emphasized that we should not only learn from the spirit of Lei Feng, but also learn from the practices of Lei Feng, turn lofty ideals, beliefs and moral pursuit into concrete actions, embody them in ordinary work and life, make our due contribution, and pass on the spirit of Lei Feng from generation to generation.

In August 2020, the general secretary came to Luojiatuan section of Chaohu levee in Hefei, Anhui. When visiting the relatives of comrades who died unfortunately in flood control and flood fighting, the general secretary said: "Your relatives are also our relatives, relatives of the people of the motherland, and heroes in our minds. When the Chinese nation is in danger, there are always some heroes who come forward. This is the embodiment of the great Chinese national spirit, and we will all respect them. "

… … … …

Different times make different heroes.

From ancient times to the present, whether it is Yue Fei’s loyal service to the country, Lin Zexu’s Destruction of Opium at Humen, or Huang Jiguang’s sacrifice to block the loophole, Wang Jinxi’s use of his body to mix cement and suppress the blowout … … They all stood up the backbone of the nation with their firm beliefs and feats of brave sacrifice and selfless dedication. They are all the shining coordinates of the national spirit.

Any country, any nation, at any time, needs its own hero.

Today, we also need heroes.

Poverty alleviation, fighting the epidemic, fighting the flood, and fighting the fire … … In the new era, ordinary people who stand up at critical moments and have the courage to take the lead and get out at critical moments have jointly built a monument to heroic spirit.

Qian Qihu, an expert in protective engineering who casts shields for the country, said: "When the motherland needs it, we will respond to the call"; Nie Haisheng, an astronaut who is determined to serve the country, said: "Be ready at all times and accept the choice of the motherland"; Du Fuguo, a demining soldier loyal to his mission, said, "Stand back and let me do it" … …

As the general secretary said, all people who control their own destiny for the Chinese nation and create a new path for national development are national heroes and national glory.

Love heroes and cherish heroes, and the country can produce heroes in large numbers; Only when heroes come forth in large numbers can the nation truly rise and the country truly become strong.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has always led the whole society to admire, defend and learn from heroes, praised meritorious figures with lofty courtesy, and cared for heroic models with practical actions.

China not only legally stipulates September 30th as the Martyrs’ Memorial Day, and promulgated the Law on the Protection of Heroes and Martyrs in People’s Republic of China (PRC), but also established the honorary commendation system for China’s special meritorious service such as the Medal of the Republic, the Medal of July 1st and the Medal of August 1st. Tell heroic stories, carry forward heroic morality, and convey the distinct value orientation of defending heroic martyrs.

Heroes are the brightest coordinates of the nation.

Taking the hero as the coordinate means that we should consciously integrate the heroic spirit into the practical actions to promote social development and national progress. Only in this way can we stand firm in the torrent of history and stand firm; In order to find a way out in the predicament, go forward bravely!

  Deeply understand the outstanding peace of Chinese civilization (on academic balance)

  Wang Jie

  Chinese civilization with a history of more than 5,000 years has always advocated peace. The pursuit of peace, harmony and harmony is deeply rooted in the spiritual world of the Chinese nation. In his important speech at the forum on cultural inheritance and development, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "Chinese civilization has outstanding peace". In Chinese civilization, the concepts of "harmony is the most important", "harmony without difference", "good neighbors", "world peace" and "world harmony" have been passed down from generation to generation. Peace is the essence of Chinese civilization, the deep spiritual pursuit of the Chinese nation and the inevitable requirement of building a better world.

  Many elements shape the peace of Chinese civilization.

  Throughout the ages, the Chinese nation has a position and influence in the world, not by belligerence or external expansion, but by the powerful appeal and attraction of Chinese culture. Chinese excellent traditional culture is the wisdom crystallization of Chinese civilization, and its many elements jointly shape the peace of Chinese civilization.

  The spiritual pursuit of being virtuous and carrying things, being virtuous and being broad-minded provides spiritual support for shaping the peace of Chinese civilization. The Book of Changes says: "The terrain is vast, and a gentleman carries things with kindness", which means that the momentum of the earth is generous and smooth, and a gentleman should treat people and things all over the world with generosity. At the beginning of "University", it is said that "the way of university is to show virtue clearly", and in "The Analects of Confucius", it is said that "people can spread Taoism, but not Taoism", which inspires people to carry forward the aboveboard virtue and consciously carry forward the "Tao". This spiritual pursuit of being virtuous, caring for others, and being virtuous and broad-minded, through the practice and inheritance of Chinese sons and daughters and the long history, has formed the interpersonal relationship principle of "don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do to you" and "push yourself and others if you want to achieve it", and constructed a world with moral order.

  The social ideal of "the world is public and the world is harmonious" provides an ideal support for shaping the peace of Chinese civilization. The Book of Rites says: "A trip to the main road is also a public service." "People don’t only kiss their relatives, they don’t only have their sons and daughters, so that they can have a good old age, be strong and useful, and those who are proud, widowed, lonely, independent and disabled will be provided for." "So they seek closure but don’t prosper, and they steal thieves and don’t do it, so they don’t close their doors. The ancients in China said that "the world is not dominated by one person, so is the world" and "within the four seas, all men are brothers". They believed that "the world" is not dominated by individuals, countries and ethnic groups, but by all people, countries and ethnic groups, expressing the desire and ideal that all people, countries and ethnic groups should treat each other as equals, get along well with each other and help each other.

  The way of communicating with others, caring for others and being kind to neighbors, has provided practical support for shaping the peace of Chinese civilization. "Strengthening Faith and Forgiveness" comes from the Book of Rites and Liyun, which is about keeping faith with each other and establishing a harmonious relationship. "Kindness and Kindness to Neighbors" comes from Zuo Zhuan’s Six Years of Seclusion, which is about being close to benevolence and being friendly to neighboring countries. This is the general plan for governing the country. Chinese civilization is a great civilization that advocates faithfulness, harmony, benevolence and friendliness. Between individuals, groups, nations and countries, it is the way of life and communication formed by the Chinese nation based on the pursuit of the ideal of great harmony with Mingde. The Silk Road is the fruit of this kind of communication, which is based on faith, friendship and good neighborliness. More than 100 years BC, China began to open up the Silk Road to the Western Regions. China and the ancestors on the Eurasian continent braved difficulties and explored and opened up a number of trade and cultural exchange channels connecting Asia, Europe and Africa. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Shen Yue said in the Book of Song that "boats and ships follow the road, and merchants and envoys make friends", which recorded the lively scenes and prosperity of merchants and envoys on the Silk Road. The Silk Road spirit of peaceful cooperation, openness, tolerance, mutual learning and mutual benefit has been passed down from generation to generation. Today, China and the countries and regions that have jointly established the Belt and Road Initiative have strengthened interconnection, sought common prosperity and development, and endowed the new era connotation with the way of upholding faith, repairing friendship, and being kind to neighbors.

  Other important elements of Chinese excellent traditional culture have also played an important role in jointly shaping the peace of Chinese civilization. For example, the ecological concept of harmony between man and nature, the philosophical thought of seeking truth from facts, the unity of knowledge and action, and the thinking method of adhering to two purposes and keeping the middle to achieve harmony have all contributed to the formation of an open, inclusive, peaceful and upright civilization of Chinese civilization beyond the constraints of local culture, blood lineage and religious beliefs.

  The peace of Chinese civilization has rich and profound connotations.

  Harmony is one of the core values of Chinese civilization. In a certain sense, Chinese civilization is a kind of "harmony" civilization. The spiritual ideal of Chinese civilization is peaceful and firm, broad-minded and open-minded, and has a deep concern for the fate of mankind. The peace of Chinese civilization has rich and profound connotations.

  Advocate caution against war. Historically, China has long been one of the most powerful countries in the world, but it has never colonized or invaded other countries. In Zuo Zhuan, it is said that "stopping fighting is martial arts", which means that stopping fighting is martial arts, and stopping fighting is the real martial arts. The true meaning of "martial arts" is to eliminate wars and stabilize the people. At the beginning of the Art of War, Sun Tzu said: "A soldier is a major event of the country, a place of death and life, and a way of survival." He advocated caution against war. The first article of Sima Fa, which is also an early work on the art of war, is Benevolence, the core idea of which is that the principle of benevolence should be implemented in war, and "Although the country is big, belligerence will die" comes from this. Chinese has long understood the role of peace in safeguarding civilization and the destructive role of war in civilization. Believing in the law of the jungle, bullying the weak by the strong and militarising the armed forces will surely lead to extinction. For thousands of years, peace has been deeply branded in the characteristics of Chinese civilization, carved into the genes of Chinese children and integrated into the blood of the Chinese nation.

  Advocate mutual coordination. From peace and harmony to harmony and harmony, Chinese’s exploration of "harmony" is not only reflected in the relationship between war and peace, but also goes deep into the laws of nature and the development of human society to understand "harmony". "He who is in harmony can achieve the Tao in the world" and "To achieve harmony, the status of heaven and everything can be nurtured". Both nature and human society should pursue the ideal realm and perfect order of "harmony" through coordinated development. The key to realize the harmony between man and nature lies in "harmony between man and nature"; To achieve harmony between people, the key lies in mutual respect; To achieve human harmony, it is necessary to achieve physical and mental coordination, and to improve one’s personality and morality through practice and introspection.

  Advocate symbiosis. Chinese’s "harmony" is not exactly the same and unchanged, and it does not pursue a single, static and undifferentiated harmony, but on the basis of respecting the diversity and differences of things, it achieves a higher level of harmony and unity through mutual coordination and interaction. "On Mencius Teng Wengong" said: "The husband and things are not uniform, and the feelings of things are also." Warn people not to treat the differences of things simply and rudely, and not to force them to be eliminated. The Analects of Confucius Zi Lu said: "Gentlemen are harmonious but different, while villains are the same but not harmonious". "Harmony without difference" pursues internal harmony and friendliness, rather than superficial similarity and consistency, which is the basic law of symbiosis between individuals and groups of human beings. It can be seen that the spirit of "harmony" is a kind of recognition of others, respect for differences and tolerance of dissidents, so as to achieve common ground while reserving differences and harmonious coexistence.

  Advocate traffic harmony. The Book of Changes says: "Heaven and earth meet and everything is connected, and the upper and lower sides meet and have the same aspirations", which means that only when heaven and earth meet with Yin and Yang can everything be born and raised smoothly; Only by communicating with the whole society can we share the same interests. "Zhuangzi Tian Zifang" said: "The traffic between them is harmonious, but things are endless". The ancients in China believed that only by opening communication can we develop, progress and be full of vitality, and achieve a state of "harmony". The Book of Rites says: "Learning alone without friends is ignorant". In the Book of Changes, it is said that "a gentleman teaches with friends", which is intended to encourage friends to learn from each other, learn from each other, and benefit from each other. Chinese civilization is a civilization that grows on the land of China, and it is also a civilization formed by continuous exchanges and mutual learning with other civilizations. Chinese civilization always upholds a peaceful and inclusive attitude towards other civilizations, instead of rejecting, confronting and conquering, and draws on the strengths of different civilizations through active dialogue and exchange, so as to achieve innovation and transcendence through reference and absorption. This wisdom of "harmony" enables Chinese civilization to develop and grow continuously.

  Lay a solid historical foundation for promoting the building of a community of human destiny.

  The peaceful nature of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines that China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of the international order, which has laid a solid historical foundation and provided abundant cultural nourishment for China to unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development and promote the building of a community of human destiny in the new era.

  The peaceful nature of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines that China has always been a builder of world peace. Chinese civilization has been inheriting the ideas of loving peace, advocating harmony and pursuing harmony for more than five thousand years. Since the founding of New China more than 70 years ago, China has never initiated any war or conflict, nor occupied an inch of other countries’ land. China actively participates in the process of international arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation, opposes the arms race and maintains global strategic balance and stability. It is a permanent member of the Security Council with the largest number of peacekeepers and the second largest peacekeeping contributor to the United Nations. China adheres to true multilateralism and plays a constructive role in global security governance. Looking back at the history of the world, some countries invaded, colonized and plundered in the process of modernization, which brought deep suffering to the people of developing countries. China does not follow the old road of imperialism and colonialism, does not copy the development model of western countries, does not rely on colonial plunder, and does not pass on contradictions. Through independence and hard struggle, and through mutual learning and win-win cooperation with other countries, it has achieved the miracle of rapid economic development and long-term social stability that has attracted worldwide attention on the road of peaceful development, which has opened a brand-new page in the history of human modernization and made important contributions to the exploration of human modernization.

  The peaceful nature of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines that China has always been a contributor to global development. For more than 5,000 years, Chinese civilization has been inheriting the ideas of great harmony, coexistence and harmonious transportation. Today, China, as a big country that promotes common global development, carries forward these ideas. China unswervingly adheres to the basic national policy of opening to the outside world, pursues an open strategy of mutual benefit and win-win, adheres to the correct direction of economic globalization, and constantly provides new opportunities for the world with the new development of China. We will increase investment in resources for global development cooperation, firmly support and help developing countries to accelerate their development, jointly cultivate new kinetic energy for global development, jointly create an international environment conducive to development, and promote the construction of an open world economy. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the initiative to jointly build the Belt and Road. Building the Belt and Road has become a popular platform for international public goods and international cooperation, which has effectively enhanced China’s ability to open up to the outside world, the resilience and vitality of building a new paradigm of national development and international cooperation, and injected more strong momentum into global development.

  The peaceful nature of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines that China has always been the defender of the international order. "those who talk about the world must follow the public of the world." The peaceful nature of Chinese civilization determines that China can think about the future and destiny of mankind from the perspective of the overall interests of mankind, adhere to unity and cooperation, and never engage in a small circle of "sharing the same party and cutting differences". China adheres to true multilateralism, firmly upholds the international system with the United Nations at the core, the international order based on international law and the basic norms of international relations based on the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, and opposes all forms of unilateralism. We should practice the concept of global governance, actively participate in global governance, promote multilateral mechanisms such as the World Trade Organization and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation to play a better role, expand the influence of cooperation mechanisms such as the BRICS countries and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, enhance the representation and voice of developing countries and emerging market countries in global affairs, and promote the development of the global governance system in a more just and rational direction.

  Seeking peace and development embodies the wisdom of the Chinese nation’s endless and vigorous development. The outstanding peace of Chinese civilization has given us strong confidence and rich wisdom to take the road of peaceful development and promote the building of a community of human destiny. We should continue to dig deep into the rich connotation of Chinese civilization’s peace, realize creative transformation and innovative development, and put forward more Chinese plans, so as to show greater value and strength on the road of human beings to meet risk challenges and open up a bright future.

  Peace is rooted in the depths of Chinese civilization (academic essay)

  Han Jianye

  The Chinese nation is a peace-loving nation and knows the value of peace. Harmony and stability are the way of life of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, peaceful symbiosis is the way of life of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and harmony, benevolence and goodness are the cultural genes of Chinese civilization for thousands of years. In the long-term development, Chinese civilization has formed a unique world view of harmony between man and nature, an international view of harmony with all nations, a harmonious but different social view, a kind moral view of people’s hearts, and a peaceful and just view of war. Peace is rooted in the depths of Chinese civilization.

  The ancients in China believed that heaven and earth nurtured all things and gave birth to human beings, and that heaven and earth and people were interrelated. The cosmology of the unity of man and nature emphasizes universal connection and holistic thinking, and organically links the way of nature with human ethics. Everything in the universe and human society are both different and a unified whole, and they live in harmony and endlessly. This view of the universe contains cultural genes that conform to nature, fear nature and fear order. Harmony, stability and order are the way of life formed by Chinese ancestors in prehistoric times and have been continuing. For example, archaeological findings show that houses were distributed in rows in the villages of Xinglongwa Culture in the West Liaohe River basin 8,000 years ago, and the doors of Jiangzhai and other villages in Yangshao culture in the middle reaches of the Yellow River faced the central square more than 6,000 years ago, all of which showed that the society advocated collective interests and the social order was orderly. Eight thousand years ago, the tombs of Peiligang culture in the Yellow River valley were arranged neatly, and there was a custom of "clan burial", which extended the real social order to the world behind. No matter the orderly arrangement of settlements and tombs, the symmetry of the central axis of the capital city and the composition of ritual vessels, Chinese’s unremitting pursuit of order and stability is reflected.

  In ancient times, China advocated that all nations in the world live in harmony, live in harmony and symbiosis, do not kill innocent people, and never stop people from offering sacrifices, thus forming an international view of harmony among all nations. For example, after the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, not only merchants’ descendants were granted titles in Song Dynasty, but also after Shennong, Huangdi, Yao, Shun and Yu, which was significantly different from the imperial view of aggression and expansion. Early cultural exchanges between China and the West appeared more than 5,000 years ago. China introduced painted pottery, millet and millet to the west, and also accepted sheep, cattle, wheat and metallurgy from the west. After the opening of the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty, daily necessities and civilian technologies such as silk, porcelain, papermaking, printing, compass and cast iron technology spread from China to all parts of the west, and the mode of communication was peaceful exchanges and commercial trade rather than wars of aggression. It is a consistent way for the Chinese nation to communicate with other civilizations, learn from each other and live in peace. The development of Chinese civilization is an example that different civilizations have made common progress through mutual dialogue and blending. There are more than 200 countries and regions, more than 2,500 nationalities and many religions in the world today, and different civilizations have their own characteristics and advantages. Only with mutual respect, interdependence, tolerance and mutual learning and common development can human civilization continue to develop and progress.

  Peace is also an important criterion of China’s ethics and thoughts. Chinese’s pursuit of peace is also reflected in his social outlook and moral outlook. "Harmony with real creatures, the same will not continue", "Gentlemen are harmonious but different, villains are harmonious but not harmonious" and "the beauty of harmony and soup lies in their differences". China has a vast and diverse geographical environment and colorful ethnic cultures, but the early China cultural circle was formed about 6,000 years ago. In the long-term development, all ethnic groups have formed a strong sense of community, common value pursuit and cultural identity, which is the inevitable result of the development of harmonious but different concepts. Only when the five tones are in harmony can there be a melody, and only when the five flavors are in harmony can it become delicious. Harmony without difference is the secret of harmony and stability of human society. Good is like water, and the benevolent loves others. It is the core content of Chinese national virtue to love oneself and family and to love others and society. Peace is combined with the value of "benevolence", and the concept of peace is practiced through caring for others. In the past 2,000 years, China was the largest economy in the world for most of the time, but China did not expand and colonize the outside world, which proved the kindness and friendship of the Chinese nation.

  Of course, war is sometimes inevitable, and peace does not mean cowardice. The Chinese nation has always adhered to the concept of peace and justice. Chinese knew the truth that "a soldier’s ominous weapon is not a gentleman’s weapon, so he has to use it". The way of civil and military affairs is, the first thing is to write before the martial arts, the first thing is to salute before the soldiers, not to provoke war, and not to be afraid of war. War must come from justice and for peace.

  Why does Chinese civilization have outstanding peace? There are many reasons, and a deep agricultural foundation is an important soil for peace. It can be said that peace is the internal pursuit of Chinese civilization from the source. Most of China is located in the middle latitude river area with moderate climate, which has good conditions for agricultural development. Agricultural production needs a long period, and long-term and stable social order is needed for seed selection, maintenance of land fertility, preparation of production tools and facilities, construction and maintenance of water conservancy facilities, and inheritance of production experience. In ancient China, there was the largest agricultural area in the world. Coupled with the complementary agricultural structure system of "rice in the south and millet in the north" and the introduction of crops such as wheat, the food source was relatively stable, which laid the foundation for stable settlement and peaceful development. The Chinese ancestors were attached to their homeland, and in most cases, the migration was just the farmers’ reclamation of new farmland, which formed a cultural character of pursuing order, stability, introversion and peace-loving in the long years.

  Peace can preserve the achievements of civilization for a long time, harmony can make civilization move forward steadily, and peace provides a guarantee for the continuous development of Chinese civilization. Today, we are still on the broad road of peaceful development and have achieved unprecedented development of a very large-scale country in a peaceful way. All the reasons for the success of China’s peaceful development are the light of Chinese civilization wisdom and the combination of our civilization genes and modern spirit. We must always adhere to and constantly activate the gene of peaceful civilization, work hand in hand with all progressive forces, and promote different countries and civilizations to build a community of human destiny on the basis of equality and mutual learning, and open up a better future for human society.

  Lasting for a long time.

  Chinese civilization prospers and develops through exchanges and mutual learning.

  Xing Liju

  Chinese civilization has outstanding peace, which fundamentally determines that China constantly pursues exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations instead of engaging in cultural hegemony. Civilization is colorful because of communication, and civilization is enriched because of mutual learning. The exchange of civilizations and mutual learning is an important driving force for the continuous development of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, and it is also an important driving force for promoting the progress of human civilization and world peace and development. It is of great significance to grasp the outstanding peace of Chinese civilization and deeply understand the historical tradition of exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese civilization and other civilizations for building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation and promoting world peace and development.

  Chinese civilization has the traditional genes of openness, tolerance and harmonious symbiosis. Chinese civilization is essentially a "harmonious" civilization, and the Chinese nation inherits and pursues the concept of peace, harmony and harmony. The traditional culture of China believes that everything has its merits, so we should enrich ourselves with the modest attitude of "three people, we must learn from each other". The ancients in China emphasized that "tolerance is great" and "a gentleman carries things with kindness", which reflected the attitude of respecting and accommodating others. China’s ancient politics pursued "the world is one", carried out the political law of "being the best in the world", and upheld the feeling of "helping the world while reaching", which reflected the concern for the world order and human welfare. Harmony requires not only affirming and accepting the diversity of things, but also containing and accepting the differences of things, and integrating different things into a harmonious combination, in order to achieve the realm of "all things are nurtured without harming each other, and Tao is parallel without contradicting each other". Cultural genes precipitated in a long history have laid a solid foundation for Chinese civilization to realize exchanges and mutual learning.

  Chinese civilization has developed and strengthened through exchanges and mutual learning with other civilizations. Since ancient times, Chinese civilization has been famous for its openness and tolerance. It has constantly renewed its vitality in exchanges and mutual learning with other civilizations, and achieved innovation and transcendence through learning from others. Zhang Qian opened up the Silk Road in history through the western regions, and opened the door for China to communicate with the outside world westward. Xuanzang went to Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures, which promoted the translation and dissemination of Indian Buddhist classics in China. Jian Zhen traveled to Japan and spread the advanced culture of the Tang Dynasty to Japan. Zheng He’s seven voyages to the West promoted the trade and cultural exchanges between China and the West. The ancient Silk Road is an example of civilization exchange and mutual learning. Not only did China’s Confucianism and Taoism gradually spread to the west, but also religious cultures such as Buddhism, which originated in foreign countries, were introduced to China. While highlighting the national characteristics, Chinese civilization absorbs and draws lessons from foreign civilizations with an open mind, and realizes self-growth and innovation in mutual collision and intersection. Cultural and religious exchanges have not only made important contributions to the peaceful development of trade along the route, but also promoted mutual understanding at the humanistic level and in-depth communication at the spiritual level between Chinese and foreign people. It can be said that the exchange of civilizations and mutual learning is an important driving force for the enduring and continuous development of Chinese civilization.

  Civilization exchange and mutual learning have a profound impact on the concept of civilization of Chinese modernization. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Chinese-style modernization is deeply rooted in Chinese excellent traditional culture, embodies the advanced essence of scientific socialism, draws on and absorbs all outstanding achievements of human civilization, represents the development direction of human civilization progress, and shows a new picture different from the western modernization model, which is a brand-new form of human civilization." Chinese-style modernization continues and renews the ancient Chinese civilization, and takes the creation of new forms of human civilization as one of its essential requirements. The unique concept of civilization contained in Chinese modernization not only has the lofty vision of Marxism to liberate all mankind, but also has the broad mind of Chinese civilization to help the world, which itself is the product of civilized exchange and mutual learning. This concept of civilization transcends the western concepts of hegemony, zero-sum game and egoism, and shows a new prospect of civilized development of exchange and mutual learning, win-win cooperation and joint construction and sharing.

  Civilization exchange and mutual learning is an important force to promote world peace and development. At present, human society is facing unprecedented challenges. The emergence of the theory of "clash of civilizations" and "superiority of civilizations" has aggravated the gap between different civilizations and hindered the exchanges and cooperation of the international community. China put forward the global civilization initiative, actively responded to the universal appeal of the international community for the exchange and mutual learning of civilizations, and led the way forward for the inclusive coexistence of civilizations. Civilized exchanges and mutual learning are the proper meanings for different countries, different nationalities and different cultures to enhance understanding, build mutual trust, build friendship and strengthen cooperation. Every nation in the world has its own cultural blood, and every country has its own origin of civilization. To understand the differences between different civilizations and appreciate the colorful beauty of civilizations, we must not only adhere to our own civilization tradition, but also take an open and inclusive attitude towards other civilizations. Only by strengthening exchanges and mutual learning between civilizations can we eliminate the barriers caused by cultural differences and avoid falling into the trap of clash of civilizations. The Global Civilization Initiative adheres to the concept of civilization of equality, mutual learning, dialogue and tolerance, and advocates realizing dialogue among civilizations with a broad mind, resolving divisions through unity, responding to confrontation through cooperation, and replacing exclusion with tolerance, which will surely make greater contributions to the rejuvenation of Chinese civilization and the progress of human society.

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.

Behind the renaming of today’s headlines: risk sharing and globalization vision

[Global Network Science and Technology Reporter Lin Di]A few days ago, regarding the "renaming" reported by the media, today’s headline response indicated that the company was not renamed, but had always been called "ByteDance", with its information flow products today’s headline, short video products Tik Tok, Volcano, question and answer products Wukong Q&A and so on. In the future, "ByteDance" will replace "Today’s Headlines" as its overall brand name.

According to industry and commerce information, ByteDance is the corporate company where today’s headlines are located, but this name has not been widely mentioned in public activities before. On April 24th, at the first Digital China Construction Summit, Zhang Yiming attended as CEO of ByteDance for the first time.

According to media reports, ByteDance Company issued a notice saying, "After comprehensive opinions, we finally decided to use the existing company name" ByteDance ". In the future, please use the brand of "ByteDance" in the scenes referring to the company as a whole. "

From now on, Today’s Headline will only exist as an information flow reading product of ByteDance Company, and it has the same roles as Watermelon Video, Tik Tok, Volcano Video and Wukong Question and Answer.

According to insiders, this means that in the future, "ByteDance" will replace today’s headlines as the name of the company’s overall brand. Moreover, the organizational structure of these products hatched and acquired by headlines today will be readjusted, and the financial relationship and personnel appointment and dismissal will also usher in changes.

But it is also a turning point for ByteDance. On the one hand, the public opinion crisis some time ago may be alleviated; On the other hand, avoiding putting different products in the "one basket" of today’s headlines is also a good strategy to resist risks.

According to the data, Beijing ByteDance Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2012, and it is an information technology company in Beijing, China. ByteDance’s products are active all over the world. Its products include today’s headlines, watermelon videos, volcano videos, vibrato videos, musical.ly, TopBuzz and so on. By the end of 2017, the company mainly focused on major markets including China, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, the United States, Europe, Southeast Asia and India.

Self-confidence and self-reliance, taking the road of Chinese modernization

  The education on studying and implementing the theme of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, which is being carried out in depth by the whole Party, emphasizes that we should be good at using Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era to promote Chinese modernization and make new progress and breakthrough. "We must persist in self-confidence and self-reliance" is an important embodiment of the standpoint and method of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, and it is also the standpoint and method that we must adhere to in promoting and expanding Chinese modernization. In the new era and new journey, we should adhere to the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, persist in self-confidence and self-reliance, and make Chinese-style modern China more distinctive, more prominent in advantages and brighter in prospects.

  Show the image of the times of self-confidence and self-reliance. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "There is no fixed model for the road to modernization. What suits you is the best, and you can’t cut your feet." Looking back on the development history of human society, it is not difficult to find that a country should not only follow the general law of modernization, but also conform to its own reality and have its own characteristics. Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening-up, our Party has persisted in self-reliance, constantly promoted theoretical and practical innovations of Chinese modernization, united and led the people of China to complete the industrialization process that western developed countries have gone through for hundreds of years in decades, created miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, and opened up broad prospects for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It is an important theoretical innovation of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the latest significant achievement of scientific socialism to put forward and elaborate the Chinese modernization theory in general. Chinese-style modernization theory abandons the old ways of modernization centered on capital, polarized modernization, materialistic expansion and foreign expansion and plunder in the west, which transcends the western modernization theory, breaks the myth of "modernization = westernization" and shows the world the image of the Chinese nation as self-confident and self-reliant. At present, China’s development faces new strategic opportunities, new strategic tasks, new strategic stages, new strategic requirements and new strategic environment, which puts forward new requirements for promoting and expanding Chinese modernization. On the new journey, we should continue to deepen our understanding of the laws of modernization.Adhere to self-confidence, self-reliance, integrity and innovation, and contribute more China wisdom and Chinese programs to human exploration of modernization.

  Highlight the theoretical character of self-confidence and self-reliance. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Taking our own path is the whole theoretical and practical foothold of the party, and it is also the historical conclusion drawn by the party’s struggle for a hundred years." In the 1950s, our Party adhered to independence and self-reliance, and gradually formed a development strategy of "four modernizations" in industry, agriculture, national defense and science and technology, which set specific and clear strategic objectives for promoting national construction and social development. In the new era of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, our party scientifically judges the characteristics of the times and the international situation, and puts forward "stepping out of a Chinese-style modernization road." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has grasped the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the unprecedented changes in the world in the past century, further deepened the understanding of the connotation and essence of Chinese-style modernization, summarized the China characteristics, essential requirements and major principles of Chinese-style modernization, and initially constructed the theoretical system of Chinese-style modernization, making it clearer, more scientific and more feasible. The process of our party’s success in stepping out of the road of Chinese modernization is a process of courageously promoting theoretical innovation in combination with new practice and being good at guiding new practice with new theories. On the new journey, we should inherit and carry forward the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s theoretical character of self-confidence and self-reliance, and persist in using the "arrow" of Marxism to shoot the "right" of China in the new era.Self-confidence and self-reliance create a beautiful picture of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.

  Show the struggle background of self-confidence and self-reliance General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Realizing modernization is the dream that China people have been striving for since modern times." After the Opium War, China gradually became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. The people of China are indomitable, making all kinds of attempts and struggling to find the road to modernization in China. For more than a hundred years, our party has United and led the people of all ethnic groups in the country to unite and struggle, creating great achievements in the new-democratic revolution and creating fundamental social conditions for realizing modernization; Created great achievements in socialist revolution and construction, and laid a fundamental political premise, valuable experience, theoretical preparation and material foundation for modernization; It has created great achievements in reform, opening up and socialist modernization, and provided a new and energetic institutional guarantee and material conditions for rapid development for Chinese modernization. In the new era, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core and under the scientific guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country have made concerted efforts to promote historic achievements and changes in the cause of the party and the country, especially to eliminate the problem of absolute poverty and build a well-off society in an all-round way, which has provided a more perfect institutional guarantee, a more solid material foundation and a more active spiritual force for Chinese modernization. Chinese-style modernization theory is an important theoretical innovation based on China’s national conditions and China’s reality. It is an important part of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, and it is a guide to promote and expand Chinese-style modernization. On the new journey,We should always adhere to self-confidence and self-reliance, and usher in a brighter future of Chinese modernization with United struggle.

Rene Liu took Chen Guofu home at night, and the two sides did not respond to whether to communicate (Figure)


Rene Liu (left) as Chen? Assistant debut, mentoring strong feelings.



Chen Guofu is currently the artistic director of Huayi Brothers Film Industry in the Mainland.


  Ambiguous love


  A few days ago, the reporter witnessed milk tea leaving Mucha’s residence alone. She wore a striped blouse and trousers to dress up casually, and went out with black-rimmed glasses. After staying in a building on Zhongxiao East Road in Taipei for nearly 2 hours, she took a taxi to the East District to pick up the "Glasses Man" and got on the bus. Two people went to a Japanese restaurant in Dunhua South Road Lane for dinner. Two hours later, they went out for a walk together. The reporter found that "Glasses Man" was the director Chen Guofu who had been having an affair with milk tea for more than 10 years. Later, the milk tea stopped the taxi, and two people went directly back to the milk tea residence. The boy got off the station at the roadside, and the milk tea paid the fare. Until 1 am, the reporter did not see Chen Guofu leave.


  Liu said that he visited the studio.


  On June 1 ST, milk tea took part in the "512 Caring Action in Performing Arts" in Hong Kong on her birthday, and the reporter finally got in touch with her. When Chen Guofu came into her house late at night, she generously said, "I rarely met the director after the performance of" Double Eyes ".I invited him out for dinner that day. He heard that I had spent a lot of time on the music studio, so I came to see it, not my home."


  Enlightenment instructors have a close friendship.


  As for not seeing the director leave late at night, she said that the director took a taxi later. Is there any progress for two people at present? She bluntly didn’t want to respond to this question, but stressed: "He was my first film director, and he won several awards, such as Asia-Pacific Best Actress and Academy Award Supporting Actress. He was an enlightenment mentor, with Zhang Jie,? Brother (Chen? ) The same is a good friend! "


  She hasn’t had a birthday for many years, and she said happily that the benefit performance in Hong Kong on June 1st was the most meaningful birthday, but there were about eight artists backstage asking her to pay attention to her weight, so it was time to lose weight.


  Four years ago, it was reported that Chen Guofu suffered from a liver tumor, and he was too ill to finish filming the film Happy Brothers. At that time, Milk Tea said that he would find time to visit him, but two years ago, someone asked Chen Guofu about her health, and she said that she had "little contact with Chen Guofu". It is reported that Chen Guofu lived alone in Beijing in recent years and only returned to Taiwan for one day at the end of May, but he happened to be witnessed by reporters having dinner with milk tea and staying at home for most of the day.


  Chen pointed out that many people went to her house.


  Chen Guofu is currently the artistic director of Huayi Brothers Film Industry in the Mainland. He responded yesterday: "It’s no secret that I have dinner with her. See how you handle it, hehe." The reporter asked, "But then you went into her house …?" He replied, "There are more people going to her house." And said: "I live in Beijing now, and it is quite difficult for everyone to meet. It is normal to meet and have a meal." However, he also said that he is in good health and work now. Thank you for your concern.
