With the rainy season coming, the number of cases infected with dengue fever will further increase. The Philippine Ministry of Health said that they have cooperated with the National Disaster Reduction Risk Management Committee, the Ministry of Civil Defence, the Ministry of Education and other departments to take various measures to jointly deal with the epidemic.

  At present, the Philippine Ministry of Health is strengthening cooperation with the Ministry of Education and taking various measures to strengthen the protection of students on campus, including removing harmful water sources and spraying mosquito-killing drugs. At the same time, teachers and parents are urged to send students to hospital for treatment in time if they find that they have a fever for 3 to 4 days.

  In addition, the Philippine Ministry of Health has also cooperated with the National Disaster Reduction Risk Management Committee, the Civil Defence Department and the police department to take various measures to jointly deal with the epidemic situation and ensure that the prevention and control work can be effectively carried out in national departments and local communities.

  Dengue fever is an acute mosquito-borne infectious disease, which is mainly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. Typical symptoms include persistent fever, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, etc., and can be fatal in severe cases. On the 6th of this month, the Philippine Ministry of Health announced that the country had entered an outbreak of dengue fever.

  Send more specialist hospitals to step up the response.

  At present, the Philippine government is stepping up its response to the dengue fever epidemic. A few days ago, CCTV reporters were allowed to enter two hospitals in the capital Manila for interviews and filming.

  The Philippine Children’s Medical Center has now treated 10 patients with dengue fever. According to the degree of illness, 10 patients were arranged to receive treatment in several wards of the hospital.

  And in another — — Lim, a child infectious disease expert at the Philippine General Hospital, told reporters that children aged 5 to 9 are more susceptible to dengue fever because of their weak resistance, and the mortality rate is also high. As the whole country of the Philippines has entered an outbreak of dengue fever, it seems that people of any age may be infected with this disease.

  In order to cope with the increasingly severe epidemic situation, Philippine medical institutions have newly sent dengue fever experts in outpatient and emergency rooms, and at the same time adopted a graded diagnosis and treatment mechanism to send patients to different hospitals for corresponding diagnosis and treatment according to the severity of the disease.

  With the arrival of the rainy season, the dengue fever epidemic in the Philippines will become more severe. Doctors advise people to use anti-mosquito drugs and not to drink unclean water. If you have a fever, you must seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying treatment.

The development prospect of cross-border e-commerce can be expected

Six departments jointly issued a new deal-
The development prospect of cross-border e-commerce can be expected

The first China International Import Expo sent a clear signal to stimulate the import potential and accelerate the development of new formats and new models such as cross-border electronic commerce. The the State Council executive meeting held not long ago decided to continue and improve cross-border electronic commerce’s retail import policy and expand its scope of application.

The Ministry of Commerce, the Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the General Administration of Customs, the State Administration of Taxation and the General Administration of Market Supervision recently issued the Notice on Improving the Supervision of Retail Imports in cross-border electronic commerce (hereinafter referred to as the Notice). On December 7th, the State Council held a routine briefing on the State Council policy. Li Chenggang, Assistant Minister of Commerce, Feng Jinping, Director of the Customs Department of the Ministry of Finance, and Wang Wei, Director of the Port Supervision Department of the General Administration of Customs made authoritative interpretations on relevant policies after the transition period of cross-border e-commerce retail import.

More quality and diversified consumer demand will be met.

"This policy adjustment, for consumers, means that more quality and diversified consumer demand will be better met." In response to a reporter’s question, Li Chenggang said that this is also an inevitable requirement of China’s supply-side structural reform, and it is also a requirement to adapt to the high-quality consumption of residents in the high-quality development stage of the new era.

This regulatory policy for cross-border e-commerce retail import will be officially implemented from January 1st next year. On the basis of zero tariff within the quota for the goods in the cross-border e-commerce retail import list, the import value-added tax and consumption tax will be levied at 70% of the statutory taxable amount, and the scope of goods enjoying preferential policies will be further expanded. 63 tax items with large demand will be added, and the single transaction limit of goods enjoying preferential tax policies will be raised from the current 2,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan, and the annual transaction limit will be raised from the current 20,000 yuan per person per year to 2.5%.

China is the world’s first online retail market, with the largest number of online shopping users in the world. In recent years, the development of cross-border e-commerce retail imports has shown rapid growth. According to customs statistics, in 2017, China’s cross-border e-commerce retail imports reached 56.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 75.5%.

"Cross-border e-commerce is a new format and a new model. We generally insist on encouraging the development of this format and at the same time adhering to the principle of tolerance and prudence in its supervision." Li Chenggang pointed out that after this adjustment, on the one hand, the regulatory policy is more perfect, on the other hand, the product range is further expanded, and the application of preferential tax policies is wider.

Since May 2016, China has implemented a transitional arrangement of "temporary supervision of personal belongings" for cross-border e-commerce retail imports, which has effectively promoted the stable development of the industry, but there are also problems such as unclear rights and responsibilities of all parties and unstable policy expectations. The new deal after the transition period has removed the word "temporary", which means that this new deal will be a relatively long-term arrangement, which will promote the sustained and healthy development of cross-border e-commerce retail imports.

"Cross-border e-commerce retail imports are different from general trade, mainly to meet the quality and diversified consumption needs of domestic residents, and must be directly facing consumers and limited to personal use. Based on this premise, we clearly supervise the cross-border e-commerce retail imports according to the personal use of imported goods. This is the basis of specific regulatory requirements and the most concerned issue for industry enterprises. " Li Chenggang said.

"online celebrity" goods entered the list, and 22 new pilot cities were added.

Steam goggles, household dust meters, razor blades, sparkling wine, malt-brewed beer, binoculars, electronic game machines, ski boots, roller skates … The Ministry of Finance took the lead in adjusting and improving the list of cross-border e-commerce retail imports and tax policies, adding a total of 63 tax items, mainly involving some food, textiles and clothing, shoes and boots, jewelry, small household appliances, cultural and sports supplies, fitness equipment and other commodity categories, and some "online celebrity".

"In order to meet the needs of domestic consumption upgrading, we have adjusted the list of commodities and selected some commodities with relatively strong consumer demand in recent years." Feng Jinping told reporters, "In terms of transaction limits, the single transaction limit and the annual transaction limit will be raised this time, and the camera will be increased with the increase of residents’ income in the future."

At the same time, further increase support for cross-border e-commerce and expand the scope of policy application. On the basis of the existing 15 pilot cities, the Notice extends the scope of application of the policy to 22 newly approved cities in the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test area, such as Beijing, to further improve the regional layout, promote the development of the industry, and better meet the consumer demand of residents.

In accordance with the principle of "responsibility", the Notice puts forward specific and clear requirements for the responsibilities of all parties-cross-border e-commerce enterprises bear the main responsibility for commodity quality and safety; Cross-border e-commerce platforms must handle industrial and commercial registration in China and fulfill the responsibility of advance payment; Domestic service providers are entrusted with the responsibility of truthfully reporting; Consumers bear the obligation to pay taxes; Government departments need to monitor the quality and safety risks of cross-border e-commerce retail imports. "Further clarifying the responsibilities of all parties involved in cross-border e-commerce retail transactions will help strengthen post-event supervision and strengthen quality risk prevention and control, which will help better safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and promote the healthier development of the industry." Li Chenggang stressed.

The future prospects of cross-border e-commerce can be expected, and effective supervision will continue to improve.

According to Wang Wei, from January to October this year, the total retail import and export volume through the customs cross-border electronic commerce platform reached 111.04 billion yuan, an increase of 86%. Among them, imports were 67.18 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 53.7%; Exports reached 43.86 billion yuan, up by 173.9%.

"In recent years, China’s total import and export trade has been around 4 trillion US dollars. As a new format, cross-border e-commerce accounts for a relatively small proportion in the total foreign trade plate, but it has grown rapidly. From an international perspective, the future prospects of cross-border e-commerce can be expected." Li Chenggang said.

Cross-border e-commerce retail import is not only a new format and a new topic for China, but also for the whole world. Effectively supervising this new format and new model is actually a process of crossing the river by feeling the stones.

"According to the characteristics of electronic, recordable and traceable cross-border e-commerce retail import transaction information, the Notice clearly requires enterprises to establish and improve quality and safety risk prevention and control mechanisms and commodity quality traceability systems, and truthfully transmit electronic information to the regulatory authorities, and cooperate with the regulatory authorities to carry out quality risk monitoring to prevent and control quality and safety risks." Li Chenggang pointed out that for commodities and related enterprises with quality and safety risk accidents, government departments will also publicize information according to regulations to better ensure consumer safety.

Wang Wei told reporters that in 2016, the General Administration of Customs researched and formulated and released the "Announcement No.26", which clarified the customs supervision measures for cross-border e-commerce. This time, in line with the introduction of the New Deal, the Customs revised and improved the "Announcement No.26", which will be released and implemented in the near future. On the other hand, the national customs has upgraded and improved the e-commerce system according to needs to ensure the healthy and sustainable development of cross-border e-commerce.

"Cross-border e-commerce has the characteristics of rapid development, diversified commodities and rapid renewal. The Ministry of Finance will work with relevant departments to adjust the list of imported goods of cross-border e-commerce in a timely manner according to these characteristics and taking into account the development of cross-border e-commerce, consumer demand and regulatory conditions. " Feng Jinping said.(Reporter zhang yi)

Seeing that the annual Mid-Autumn Festival is coming again, many people are looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival night, being able to get together with their families and eat a piece of moon cake handed by their families, leaving a fragrance in their mouths and feeling warm.

There is a "moon cake grandmother" Shen Yuee in Haining, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, who is 73 years old. The fresh meat moon cakes she makes are so delicious that it is hard to find a cake.

Every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, she makes some moon cakes, not for sale, but for giving to others. Grandma Shen said that at first, she made meat moon cakes mainly to give them to the elderly in the community. Later, at the suggestion of her grandson, she began to send meat moon cakes to nursing homes and other places. Unconsciously, it has been four years since she persisted.

"Grandma Moon Cake" is short, kind-hearted and full of energy. Now, on average, she cooks thousands of moon cakes every day, including fresh meat, salt and pepper, and bean paste, which have many flavors. In order to make these moon cakes, Grandma Shen usually gets up at five or six o’clock in the morning and starts to prepare, mixing noodles, buying materials and mixing stuffing … until five or six o’clock in the evening. Later, in order to send it to the nursing home in time, Grandma Shen even needed to get up at 3 am. In addition to sending mooncakes to nursing homes and sanitation workers, Grandma Shen plans to send mooncakes to children’s welfare homes this year so that more people can taste her skills.

Grandma Shen’s good deeds have infected many people around her. Neighbor Zhao Hefen said: "Not only do you send cakes, but you also send zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival and eight-treasure rice on the New Year. It is the same for everyone. It is really enthusiastic." Hearing others say that she is good, Shen Yuee is a little embarrassed: "Everyone says it’s delicious, so I’m strong enough."

Grandma Shen made moon cakes, and her family also supported her. Grandma Shen has a son and a daughter, both of whom are very promising. She is also keen on doing good deeds at ordinary times. When she knows that her mother wants to make moon cakes for those in need, they give great support both materially and spiritually.

Asked how long this mooncake will last, Grandma Shen said that as long as she has the conditions and ability, as long as she can do it, this mooncake will continue to be made and delivered, not to mention that there are so many people to help her and support her.

A small moon cake condenses Grandma Shen’s purity, truth, goodness and beauty. She sets an example for her children, neighbors and society, and conveys an unusual warm heart of an ordinary person. Another bright moon shines on Kyushu, and another Mid-Autumn Festival warms people’s hearts. Grandma Shen continues this enthusiasm and warmth. It is simple and precious, and it moistens things silently. Let’s say thank you to Grandma Shen!

Policy Answers of Home Appliances Trade-in Promotion Implementation Period

  1. What is the meaning of "trade-in of household appliances"?

  "Trade-in of household appliances" refers to the behavior of consumers selling old household appliances and buying new ones. Consumers sell five types of old household appliances specified by the state, such as televisions, refrigerators (freezers), washing machines, air conditioners and computers. After being recycled by the household appliance recycling enterprises determined by the tender, they obtain the nationally printed household appliance trade-in recycling certificate, and then purchase the above five types of new household appliances at the household appliance sales enterprises determined by the tender with the trade-in recycling certificate and the consumer’s valid certificate, and apply for the price subsidy for household appliances trade-in.

  2. When will the city continue to implement the trade-in policy for home appliances?

  According to the Letter of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Environmental Protection on Printing and Distributing the Work Plan for the Promotion of Household Appliances Trade-in and the Implementation Measures for Household Appliances Trade-in (Revised Draft) formulated by seven ministries and commissions, this Municipality will continue to implement the policy of household appliances trade-in after the end of the pilot period, and the implementation period is tentatively set as December 31, 2011. During this period, buyers who participate in the trade-in of household appliances in this city can apply for the price subsidy for the trade-in of household appliances in accordance with the regulations, obtain the recycling certificate for the trade-in of household appliances and purchase new household appliances from the successful home appliance sales enterprise.

  3. Are there any restrictions on the types of home appliances that participate in the trade-in of home appliances?

  The types of household appliances that can participate in the trade-in of household appliances during the promotion and implementation period of this Municipality are the same as those in the pilot period, and they are still five types of household appliances: televisions, refrigerators (including freezers), washing machines, air conditioners and computers. The state only subsidizes buyers who sell the above five categories of old household appliances and buy the above five categories of new household appliances, but the purchase of new household appliances is not subject to the corresponding restrictions on the types of old household appliances sold. For example, after the buyer sells an old TV and obtains the certificate of recycling household appliances, he can go to the successful home appliance sales enterprise to buy any of the five types of household appliances (such as refrigerators or washing machines), and can apply for price subsidies according to the prescribed standards.

  4. What is the subsidy standard for replacing old appliances with new ones?

  During the promotion and implementation period, the subsidy standard in the pilot stage is still used, that is, 10% of the sales price of new household appliances is subsidized, but the upper limit of the subsidy standard is limited for each type of household appliances. Among them, the maximum subsidy for TV sets is 400 yuan/set, for refrigerators (including freezers) is 300 yuan/set, for washing machines is 250 yuan/set, for air conditioners is 350 yuan/set and for computers is 400 yuan/set.

  5. Is there any reference price standard for selling old household appliances?

  Beijing Renewable Resources Recycling and Second-hand Goods Industry Association, after consulting with household appliances recycling enterprises and dismantling enterprises, referred to the residual value of resources after dismantling old household appliances and the costs of recycling enterprises and dismantling enterprises, and considered the public’s acceptance of the recycling price of old household appliances, formulated the reference price of recycling old household appliances and the integrity standard of main parts. The price is published by the association and clearly stated at various recycling outlets.

  Hand in the old household appliances can choose the national household appliances trade-in policy or other ways to hand in the old according to the actual situation. The recycling price of used household appliances shall be determined through negotiation between the buyer and the recycling enterprise, and both parties may refer to this price standard when negotiating.

  6. What should I do if the main parts are incomplete when selling old household appliances?

  Handing over old household appliances should meet the integrity requirements of the main parts of old household appliances. If the old household appliances sold are short of major components, the household appliance recycling enterprise will reduce the purchase price as appropriate according to the lack of major components, and the specific recycling price will be determined through consultation between the recycling enterprise and the seller.

  7. Is the subsidy object of home appliance trade-in in this city restricted by household registration?

  The subsidy object of home appliance trade-in in this city is residents with Beijing hukou and legal entities registered in Beijing (collectively referred to as buyers above); At present, non-Beijing hukou personnel and non-Beijing registered legal entities cannot enjoy the subsidy policy of home appliances trade-in in this city.

  8. Is there a quantity limit for buyers to participate in the trade-in of home appliances?

  In the pilot stage, there is no quantitative restriction on buyers’ participation in home appliance trade-in. However, during the promotion and implementation period (from June 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011), according to the "Implementation Measures for Household Appliances Trade-in (Revised Draft)" formulated by seven national ministries and commissions, the number of individuals participating in household appliances trade-in, selling old household appliances and buying new ones does not exceed five; Legal entities participate in the trade-in of home appliances, and the number of old home appliances sold and new home appliances purchased does not exceed 50. Because the identity certificate of the purchaser who buys new household appliances and sells old household appliances must be consistent, when the number of new household appliances purchased with the recycling certificate exceeds a limited number, the part exceeding the limited number cannot enjoy the subsidy for buying new household appliances.

  9. Are the new household appliances purchased by consumers and the old household appliances sold during the pilot period within the limit?

  At present, the "Household Appliances Trade-in Management Information System" has shielded the records of purchasing new household appliances and selling old household appliances before June 1, 2010. Therefore, during the pilot period, the number of consumers who have purchased new household appliances and sold old household appliances is not counted in the restricted number. That is to say, if consumers have bought five new household appliances with the same ID card during the pilot period, but recalculated from June 1, 2010, they can buy at most five new household appliances.

  10. What are the procedures for buyers to sell old household appliances and buy new ones?

  (1) There are two ways for buyers to participate in the trade-in of household appliances in physical stores.

  1. Participate in the trade-in procedure by "handing in the old before purchasing the new":

  (1) The purchaser can apply for selling the old household appliances within the scope of the old-for-new subsidy to the winning recycling enterprise in the residential area through the Internet, telephone and other means, or can transport the old household appliances and sell them to the nearest household appliance recycling network;

  (2) According to the ID card information provided by the purchaser, the household appliance recycling enterprise logs in the "Household Appliance Trade-in Management Information System" to check the number of used household appliances sold by the purchaser. When the number of used household appliances sold by the purchaser reaches 5, the purchaser shall be clearly informed;

  (3) The home appliance recycling enterprise shall provide the old home appliance recycling service according to the requirements of the purchaser, and make an acquisition with reference to the published reference price of the old home appliance recycling during the promotion implementation period and the integrity requirements of the main parts of the old home appliance (if the main parts of the old home appliance are missing, the recycling enterprise may negotiate with the purchaser for pricing), and issue a nationally printed home appliance trade-in recycling certificate to the purchaser;

  (4) The original and photocopy of the buyer’s trade-in recycling certificate and identity certificate (including ID card, household register, military officer’s card or soldier’s card that can prove the household registration in this city) (the legal entity must hold the original and photocopy of the business license and legal entity code certificate) to the successful home appliance sales enterprise to arbitrarily purchase home appliances within the scope of subsidy, and apply for price subsidy to the sales enterprise on site.

  2. Participate in the trade-in procedures by "purchasing new products first and then handing over old ones":

  (1) After the buyer goes to a home appliance sales enterprise with dual qualifications of home appliance recycling and sales, he should show the original ID card, and according to the tips of the staff, go to the service desk to inquire about the number of new and old purchases. When the number of new or old units has reached 5, the home appliance sales enterprise shall clearly inform the purchaser;

  (2) After purchasing new home appliances, make an appointment with the home appliance sales enterprise to recycle old home appliances;

  (3) When the sales enterprise distributes the new household appliances to the buyers, it will recycle and tow away the old household appliances according to the appointment, and issue the old household appliances recycling certificate to the buyers;

  (4) The purchaser applies for price subsidies at the original home appliance sales outlets with the old home appliance recycling certificate, the invoice for purchasing new home appliances and the original and photocopy of the identity certificate.

  (two) the purchaser through e-commerce enterprises to participate in household appliances trade-in procedures.

  1. The purchaser applies for recycling old household appliances to an e-commerce enterprise with the qualification of exchanging old household appliances for new ones through the Internet (the information such as the category, brand, product manufacturer, model, serial number of the fuselage, seller’s name and ID number of the old household appliances should be listed in detail), and orders the selected new household appliances through the Internet;

  2. According to the ID card information provided by the purchaser, the e-commerce enterprise logs in the "Household Appliances Trade-in Management Information System" to check the number of old and new purchases made by the purchaser. The e-commerce enterprise shall notify the purchaser when the purchaser has handed in the old ones or purchased five new ones;

  3. E-commerce enterprises shall fill in the old household appliances recycling voucher and the Application Form for Home Appliances Trade-in Subsidy according to the above-mentioned information on trade-in and purchase of new ones, and arrange the distribution of new household appliances to buyers;

  4. The e-commerce enterprise distributes the new household appliances to the buyer’s home, collects the payment at the full price, recycles and drags away the old household appliances of the buyer, and confirms the information of the recycling voucher with the buyer, and asks the buyer to sign the Application Form for Home Appliances Trade-in Subsidy and provide a copy of the ID card;

  5. After reviewing the relevant subsidy information of the purchaser, the e-commerce enterprise will advance the payment for old household appliances and the price subsidy for new household appliances to the purchaser.

  11. Why do buyers need to provide the original identification when selling old household appliances and applying for subsidies for new household appliances?

  Because the country has set a number limit for buyers to participate in the trade-in of household appliances during the promotion and implementation period, if the number of used household appliances sold by individual buyers with the same ID card exceeds 5, the excess part cannot participate in the trade-in of household appliances. Therefore, buyers need to provide the original ID card when selling old household appliances, and recycling enterprises should log in to the "Household Appliances Trade-in Management Information System" of the Ministry of Commerce in time to check the number of old household appliances sold by buyers; When recycling, the recycling personnel should check the original ID card of the purchaser before filling out the recycling certificate of old household appliances.

  Buyers who apply for subsidies for replacing new household appliances with old ones should also go to the sales enterprise with the original and photocopy of their ID cards; If the buyer can’t handle it in person, he can also entrust others to handle it on his behalf, but the agent needs to provide the original and photocopy of his and the buyer’s ID cards and other relevant information.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is threatening, and symptomatic treatment is the key.

In the infusion room of Ningxia Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, there are many small patients treated by infusion.

From November 24th to 25th, the reporter visited many hospitals in Yinchuan and found that the pediatric consulting rooms and infusion rooms of major hospitals were crowded with children with fever and cough. Among them, many children have "mycoplasma pneumonia" which has been frequently searched recently. Many citizens are worried about this: what disease is mycoplasma pneumonia? How to prevent and treat it? The reporter interviewed pediatric experts from relevant institutions and hospitals.

The incidence of mycoplasma pneumoniae infection by disease control experts this year did not exceed the level in 2019.

Gong Rui, chief of the infectious disease prevention and control department of Ningxia Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an interview that mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is a common respiratory pathogen and a microorganism between virus and bacteria. Its incubation period is relatively long, and most of the symptoms are mild, and only a few people will develop into severe diseases. "This disease has a periodic epidemic every three to seven years. Our tests on some sentinel hospitals have found that the incidence rate this year has indeed increased compared with last year, but it has not exceeded the level in 2019."

"In community-acquired pneumonia, this is a common pathogen, not a new and rare disease, nor a terrible pneumonia. Therefore, this is just a common disease, and it is a common disease. You don’t have to panic. " Gong Rui said that at present, mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is on the rise. One of the reasons is that in the process of fighting the COVID-19 epidemic in the past three years, the people have done a relatively good job in respiratory protection measures such as wearing masks, and the overall incidence of respiratory infections has shown a downward trend. After the epidemic control is released this year, it is inevitable that mycoplasma infection will increase in autumn and winter when respiratory diseases are on the rise. Most people infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae are children over 5 years old. This kind of respiratory infection will cause great infection in the population. If there is close contact and no corresponding protective measures are taken, children infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae will also transmit this mycoplasma to adults.

Pediatric experts have a good effect in treating mycoplasma pneumonia with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

"Since July this year, the number of children infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae has gradually increased, especially in the past month, the number of children with mycoplasma pneumonia has increased significantly. There are 150 beds in the fourth-floor ward of general pediatrics in our hospital, and all of them are full at present, most of them are children with respiratory tract infection, and more than half of the children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. " Li Lei, deputy director of the General Pediatrics Department of Yinchuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said that the symptoms of mycoplasma pneumoniae infection are similar to those of most pneumonia, with fever and cough as the main clinical symptoms, accompanied by headache, runny nose, sore throat and earache. At present, the training and treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia are standardized, and there are scientific guidelines for diagnosis and treatment, which can be accepted by many secondary hospitals and community hospitals.

"Some children have severe immune reactions and mixed infections, which will cause refractory diseases. But don’t worry, there are still many ways to treat the symptoms. If it is refractory mycoplasma pneumonia, such as azithromycin resistance, we can change the dressing and replace it with other types of antibacterial drugs. If it is a compound infection, other antibacterial drugs can be added. If it is caused by abnormal immune response, it can be treated with glucocorticoid, and if necessary, it can be treated with immunoglobulin. " Li Lei said that infection with mycoplasma pneumoniae does not necessarily cause pneumonia, and only when mycoplasma pneumoniae invades the lower respiratory tract can mycoplasma pneumonia occur.

The reporter saw in the pediatric clinic of Ningxia Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine that there were also many children who came to see a doctor. Wang Huimin, the chief pediatrician of the hospital, said that there is no need to panic about mycoplasma pneumonia in children, and Chinese medicine has some special treatments. "For mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, as well as high fever, cough, pneumonia, etc., Chinese medicine combined with children’s physique, using decoction or external treatment, can achieve good results." Wang Huimin said that the 2023 edition of "Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Mycoplasma Pneumonia in Children" mentioned that according to the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, mycoplasma pneumonia can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine such as clearing heat and dispersing lung. In addition to oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine, there are many distinctive external treatments for mycoplasma pneumonia and other respiratory infectious diseases. For example, massage for children, acupoint application, cupping by suction, fumigation and washing with traditional Chinese medicine, pricking collaterals and bloodletting. "If the child has mycoplasma pneumonia, azithromycin should be used. Chinese medicine believes that antibiotics belong to cold substances, and cold is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach. You can take some dietotherapy to care for your child’s spleen and stomach and improve your resistance. " Wang Huimin said.

The hospital takes many measures to alleviate the problem of difficulty in seeing a doctor and hospitalization

At present, mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is not only threatening, but also the season of high incidence of influenza, respiratory syncytial virus and other respiratory diseases. Pediatric clinics in major hospitals are overcrowded. Many parents are worried that if they go to the hospital now, they will not be able to see the disease and live in the hospital. In this regard, the reporter learned that at present, all major hospitals in Yinchuan have taken active measures to deal with the peak of pediatric visits.

Zhao Guiqin, chief physician of pediatrics and deputy director of general pediatrics of the First People’s Hospital of Yinchuan City, told the reporter that autumn and winter are the seasons of high incidence of respiratory infections every year, and the hospital has prepared four countermeasures in advance. First of all, in the outpatient clinic, the appointment registration method is adopted, and the plus sign is added at any time according to the number of patients. Secondly, increase the number of pediatric clinics and sitting doctors, increase the previous general pediatric clinic to two general pediatric clinics in the morning and two general pediatric clinics in the afternoon, and have a pediatric specialist clinic every day. The pediatric emergency department of the hospital is also open 24 hours a day. Third, in order to improve the patient’s medical environment and make the people feel less crowded, the hospital expanded the waiting area on the second floor of pediatrics; In order to solve the problem of pediatric infusion, the hospital transferred the work of adult infusion to the community, and all the infusion rooms on the second floor of the emergency building gave way to pediatric patients; In order to solve the shortage of pediatric hospitalization, on the basis of the original 41 beds, 24 beds were added on the seventh floor, and they were adjusted at any time according to the situation of children. Fourth, in recent years, hospitals have opened holiday clinics and evening clinics to meet the medical needs of the masses on weekends and after school.

On the morning of November 25th, Wang Aiping, deputy director of general pediatrics department of Yinchuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital, was busy in the clinic. She told reporters that in order to cope with the peak of mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, the hospital has increased the number of outpatient clinics and the number of doctors since September. All the doctors in the children’s health department of the hospital are involved in the work of pediatric outpatient clinics. At present, the number of pediatric outpatient clinics has increased from 9 to 15. In mid-October this year, the hospital started the evening clinic again, and it was normal from 18: 00 to 22: 00. With the increase of hospitalized children, on the basis of 140 conventional beds in pediatrics, 14 beds on the first floor have been added, and at the same time, beds in pediatric wards have been appropriately increased according to the situation to meet the needs of hospitalized children as much as possible. "We have also increased the number of observation beds in the emergency department. If the patient is seriously ill and cannot be admitted to the hospital for a while, he will be temporarily placed under observation in the emergency observation room. The next day, the doctor in the pediatric inpatient department will go to the emergency observation room to evaluate, and those who need to be admitted to the hospital will be given priority to ensure that the children who need hospitalization will be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible. In short, we are ready for a long-term battle and go all out to cope with the peak of medical treatment. Parents don’t have to be too anxious. " Wang Aiping said.

In addition, the reporter learned that in order to facilitate the residents to seek medical treatment nearby, the Health and Wellness Committee of the Autonomous Region has collected and sorted out the medical institutions that can provide pediatric diagnosis and treatment services in the whole region, and published a list of 81 medical institutions on the official website and WeChat WeChat official account, including the addresses of branches of 3A hospitals and hospitals in cities and counties, whether there are outpatient and emergency services, whether they can be hospitalized by infusion, etc., so as to facilitate the people to choose a suitable hospital nearby for timely treatment.

Liu Liming, director of the Department of Liver Diseases of the Third People’s Hospital of Hubei Province, not only saves people, but also wants to save money for patients.

Dr. Liu Liming rounds the room.

□ Chutian Metropolis Daily’s most eye-catching journalist Chen Lingyan correspondent Belan Zeng Zuokuan

Liu Liming is the director of the Department of Hepatology of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in the Third People’s Hospital of Hubei Province. He has been fighting hard in the field of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine to tackle liver diseases. He is kind to patients and often helps them out of his own pocket. Since joining the work, he has been using weekends and holidays to go to districts, counties and mountain villages to train grassroots medical staff, teach them to choose cheap but effective drugs, and help local patients control their illness.

What is the relationship between doctors and patients? Liu Liming’s answer is: the relationship of "treating each other with sincerity".

Doctors treat diseases.

Try your best to carry the patient across the river.

In 2006, Liu Liming entered the hepatology department of the Third People’s Hospital of Hubei Province. Since then, he has been dealing with various liver diseases. "Doctors treating diseases are like carrying patients across the river one by one." The metaphor of Wu Mengchao, an academician of China Academy of Sciences and the father of hepatobiliary surgery in China, is deeply engraved in Liu Liming’s mind. Doctors should try their best to pick up the patient and then deliver the patient to the other side of health.

Patients put their rehabilitation hopes in the hands of doctors, and doctors need to constantly improve their skills to help them realize their rehabilitation wishes. Liu Liming delves into the business, constantly summarizes it at the same time, and makes adjustments and innovations according to the needs of patients. Based on the characteristics of liver diseases in China and the changes of liver disease spectrum in recent years, he set up a sub-specialist diagnosis and treatment team for liver diseases in the department, including liver cancer diagnosis and treatment team, fatty liver diagnosis and treatment team and autoimmune liver disease diagnosis and treatment team to provide accurate personalized diagnosis and treatment for patients with liver cancer at all stages. For example, the fatty liver diagnosis and treatment team gives full play to the characteristics and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine, and combines traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as medicated diet, acupuncture, catgut embedding and packaging; The diagnosis and treatment team of autoimmune liver disease innovatively launched the disease management model of "self-immune liver diagnosis-treatment-long-term follow-up" to be a long-term "healthy housekeeper" of patients. Liu Liming led a team to carry out a number of scientific research achievements, such as "anti-fibrosis and liver softening prescription", "anti-liver failure compound prescription" and "strengthening the body to detoxify and dispersing stagnation prescription", some of which reached the international advanced level, and the department also successfully established a key specialty of traditional Chinese medicine in Hubei Province.

Not only save lives

He also wants to save money for patients.

In addition to saving lives, Liu Liming also has a small habit-helping patients to make careful calculations and calculate "economic accounts". In his view, patients are suffering from diseases, and doctors should not only cure them, but also help them save money as much as possible, which is what doctors should do. Driven by Liu Liming, every doctor in the department has set himself an extra requirement: screening examination items and medication according to the patient’s condition and economic affordability. Can do or not do the inspection, don’t do it; Drugs that can be used or not, no need; If you can solve the problem with cheap medicine, you don’t need expensive medicine.

Liu Liming not only saves money for patients, but also often subsidizes patients in need. Last August, an 80-year-old man in Xinzhou District came to see a doctor with an old hen. "Doctor, my son is not at home, can I use my old hen to pay for medical expenses?" The old man asked. Without saying anything, Liu Liming immediately paid for 600 yuan’s medicine for the old man, and repeatedly urged the old man to take the chicken back. Who knows that when the old man left, he quietly left the old hen behind the door of the clinic. When the old man came to see a doctor again, Liu Liming took out 200 yuan and "bought" the old hen.

Among Liu Liming’s WeChat friends, more than 700 are patients he treated. Everyone will leave messages for him every day when he meets any health problems, and he will reply one by one, which has become everyone’s "family doctor". This "family doctor" has been friends with many patients for many years. He not only treats them, but also treats their hearts.

The 80-year-old Xiao’s mother-in-law has suffered from hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis for many years. Liu Liming designed the treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine for her, and the old man’s condition was well controlled. However, three years ago, Xiao’s wife died unfortunately, which made her fall into depression. Liu Liming found that the old man’s mood was wrong. After learning about this situation, he would accompany his mother-in-law Xiao to say a few words every time he made a diagnosis or made a follow-up, trying to comfort her mood, thus "helping" the old man out of his grief step by step.

In 2021, a 3 cm tumor appeared on Xiao’s mother-in-law’s liver. Liu Liming completed interventional therapy for her, supplemented by traditional Chinese medicine, and helped the elderly get out of danger again. Every three to five, he also asked questions through WeChat. Grandma Xiao said to everyone, "Director Liu is better to me than my children!"

Go from the countryside to the town

Let more people "know more"

As a doctor, Liu Liming has a good reputation among patients, and more and more people are looking for him to see a doctor. But he understands that it is not enough to rely on the strength of one person or one department in the face of the huge needs of patients.

"My aunt was less than 50 years old and died unfortunately because of liver cancer caused by hepatitis B. Her child was infected with hepatitis B virus through mother-to-child transmission." Liu Liming said that this incident had a great influence on him, which was also the reason why he decided to study medicine. "Later, I used what I learned to successfully let my cousin block mother-to-child transmission."

Liu Liming realized that ordinary people don’t know much about medicine. When faced with diseases, they are often at a loss. "In fact, many diseases are preventable and controllable, especially liver diseases. Sometimes, as long as you know more, the results will be completely different."

Since joining the work, Liu Liming has always insisted on one thing: being a "healthy volunteer". On weekends and holidays, he went to various districts, counties and mountain villages to carry out free clinic propaganda and health science popularization, train primary medical staff, and help the construction of hepatology department in primary medical institutions. Village doctors have relatively little experience, so Liu Liming popularized and updated new knowledge of diagnosis and medication for them. "As long as I have been to places, village doctors have mastered better medication methods. They will prescribe cheap but effective anti-hepatitis drugs for patients in need. "

In 2020, the Third People’s Hospital of Hubei Province set up a youth master group, with Liu Liming as the head, and organized the doctors of the youth master group to go to the community and go to the grassroots level. In the past two years, the Youth Expo Group has given free clinics and health talks to more than 2,000 people, and has also conducted more than 40 academic salon lectures for young doctors and training for primary doctors, and trained more than 1,000 primary medical and health personnel.

The People’s Government of Qijiang District of Chongqing Municipality immediately arranged emergency monitoring, water intake from waterworks at wrong time, pollution disposal and information announcement after receiving the relevant incident information at 8 o’clock on July 14th, and informed the downstream jiangjin district in time. The People’s Government of jiangjin district arranged to be on duty 24 hours a day to observe the water source situation and carry out water quality monitoring. The rapid response of Chongqing ensured that the water supply safety of residents was not affected when the water quality of related water sources was affected, which ensured public opinion and social stability.
  (2) Cut off the source
  After the leakage was discovered on July 14th, Sinopec South China Branch stopped oil transportation urgently, quickly closed the ban qiao valve chamber, Yelang valve chamber and Dongshan valve chamber upstream of the leakage point, and relieved the pressure of Yaolongshan Station downstream of the leakage point through large-flow relief. At 6: 34, more than 280 people were put into the site to carry out emergency treatment, as well as 8 excavators, 21 tankers, 14 pumping equipment, 1,680m boom, 210 bags of oil-absorbing felt and other emergency materials. The plugging was completed at 10: 00 on July 15th.
  (3) Pollution control
  1. River pollution control. There are 31 oil booms in this incident, including 15 in Guizhou Province and 16 in Chongqing. Guizhou province has also built 12 oil dams, 12 activated carbon dams and 1 oil separation tank in China, reducing pollutants by about 3.67 tons. 14.01 tons of diesel oil was recovered by oil collector.
  2. Soil pollution control. In the disposal of this incident, five drainage ditches were set up near the upstream of the leakage point, and an oil sump was set up downstream of the leakage point to collect the leaked diesel oil and oily rainwater, which was used to intercept and lead out the rainwater and surface runoff, and the leakage area was covered with a rainproof cloth of about 2882m m.2. After the emergency disposal, 461.9 tons of contaminated soil was cleared.
  (4) drinking water security
  Chongqing implemented emergency renovation of the affected waterworks, and Sanjiang Waterworks in Qijiang District reduced the water supply area in time. From July 15th to 17th, the Qiaohe and Tuowan areas in the original water supply area were changed to Wenlong Waterworks. At 4 o’clock on July 16, Sanjiang Waterworks met the water supply requirements through technological transformation, and the water demand of residents was met.
  (5) Information disclosure
  On July 16th, Guizhou Province released the accident information and preliminary disposal to the public through the platform of Loushan Information. On July 16th and 18th, Chongqing Qijiang District Emergency Bureau released event information through the public information early warning platform three times. On July 15th, Chongqing Yuqian Water Technology Development Co., Ltd. released the Notice of Insufficient Water Pressure in Some Urban Areas Due to Water Pollution of Qijiang River on the Damei Qijiang APP.
  Third, the direct cause of the incident
  The direct cause of this incident is that the landslide caused the oil pipeline to be squeezed, resulting in displacement, deformation and local damage, resulting in diesel oil leakage, which in turn caused cross-provincial pollution.
  (A) the main causes of landslides
  Experts believe that the landslide of Yanshang Formation in Jiezhen Village, Xinzhan Town was formed under the influence of concentrated heavy rainfall, unfavorable topographic and geomorphological conditions, unfavorable geotechnical structure and other major factors, and it is a geological disaster caused by natural factors.
  (II) Causes of the leakage accident
  After the landslide, the front soil was pushed down, which caused the pipeline ZY109+410 buried in the soil to be squeezed, resulting in displacement and local damage, which led to the leakage accident. In the process of finding the leakage point, the organization excavation disturbed the balance of the leakage point, resulting in a large number of diesel oil leakage and the pollution situation expanded.
  Fourth, the main problems
  (a) the possible serious consequences of misjudgment, inadequate preparation
  Before the incident, Sinopec South China Branch did not fully judge the information that landslide threatened the pipeline safety, and did not take timely measures to eliminate the hidden dangers of pipeline safety and avoid the leakage of pipeline transportation medium to pollute the environment when the relevant competent departments put forward the requirements of stopping transportation, resulting in pipeline damage and oil leakage, which entered Songkan River through Jiezhen River, causing environmental pollution.
  (two) improper disposal in advance, causing a large number of leaks
  After finding diesel oil leakage, Sinopec South China Branch took measures such as stopping transportation, digging oil sump and setting oil booms, which basically controlled the spread of leaked diesel oil downstream through Jiezhen River. However, without fully evaluating the remaining oil in the pipeline, without fully considering the risk that external forces may disturb the existing equilibrium state and the pollution prevention and control measures such as oil collection pits and diversion canals are not fully prepared, the oil leakage point is organized to be excavated, resulting in a large amount of diesel oil pouring into Jiezhen River, and the pollution situation is expanding.
  (C) the relevant departments of the local government failed to perform their duties in time.
  Zunyi City Bureau of Industry and Energy, Tongzi County Economic and Trade Bureau, Emergency Management Bureau and other units received the information that the landslide threatened the pipeline safety reported by Sinopec South China Branch, and the relevant personnel all replied to go to the scene the next day to check, but did not rush to the scene to coordinate and eliminate hidden dangers or report to the people’s government for timely organization to eliminate potential safety hazards, and failed to conscientiously perform their duties of protecting oil and gas pipelines. The Zunyi Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment and the Guizhou Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment failed to report the incident information to the Zunyi Municipal People’s Government and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment within the time limit specified in the Measures for Reporting the Information of Sudden Ecological and Environmental Events after receiving the incident information.
  (D) The structure of emergency headquarters in Zunyi City is unreasonable.
  The July 14th incident caused cross-provincial pollution, which has constituted a major environmental emergency, and the Zunyi Municipal Government should organize and direct the response. However, the on-site emergency response has been stepped down. The commander of the on-site command department is in turn the person in charge of relevant functional departments of Zunyi City, the executive deputy magistrate of Tongzi County, the deputy magistrate in charge of Tongzi County, and the person in charge of Sinopec South China Branch. The structure of this incident headquarters is inconsistent with the relevant provisions of the National Emergency Plan for Environmental Emergencies and the Emergency Plan for Environmental Emergencies in Zunyi City.
  (E) inadequate linkage between government and enterprises
  Poor communication between local and enterprise information. Before the July 13th incident, the relevant staff of Sinopec informed the local village committee that 92# gasoline was transported in the pipeline. On July 14th, when the oil spill increased sharply at the initial stage of emergency response, local government personnel at the scene still thought that the oil was leaking, and they urgently organized the evacuation of local people, only to learn that the company had changed the transportation of gasoline in Zunyi section to diesel. In the early stage of accident rescue, local rescuers and enterprise rescue forces acted in their own way, and the local authorities did not understand the daily management of pipeline enterprises, so they could not contact and dock with enterprises at the first time after the incident, which affected the rescue effect.
  (six) the upstream and downstream linkage is not perfect.
  Tongzi County, Zunyi City reported the incident information to Chongqing Qijiang District Ecological Environment Bureau for many times on July 14th, which provided strong support for Chongqing to prepare for emergency. However, in the information notification, the emergency monitoring data, diesel oil leakage and disposal measures were not notified in time. Due to the lack of relevant information, it has affected the research and decision-making of the Qijiang District Command on the pollution situation, and we can only do our best to make relevant work arrangements and preparations based on experience.
  Five, prevention and rectification measures and suggestions
  (A) to further enhance the environmental emergency management capabilities of leading cadres of local governments at all levels, and improve the emergency response mechanism for environmental emergencies.
  1. Intensify training. After the institutional reform, the "big emergency" management system was basically established, but the response mechanism for comprehensive emergencies was not perfect. For example, this incident was caused by a production safety leakage accident caused by a natural disaster, and then it evolved into an environmental emergency. Under this situation, the government leaders’ understanding of relevant plans and emergency decision-making management ability were even more tested. It is necessary to increase the relevant contents of environmental emergency management in special training, conference discussion and comprehensive training, strengthen the training of environmental emergency management for government leaders, and further strengthen the ecological environmental protection awareness of emergency command and dispatch and emergency response personnel of local governments, departments and enterprises, improve the ability of judgment, command and dispatch and response to sudden environmental incidents, and do a good job in emergency response in the whole process to avoid.
  2. Strengthen the guidance on the revision of the government’s environmental emergency plan. It is necessary to strengthen the effective connection between the government’s special emergency plan for environmental emergencies and the overall emergency plan for emergencies, the emergency plan for natural disasters and the emergency plan for production safety accidents, clarify the emergency command system, emergency response procedures and the responsibilities of various departments, organize emergency drills in a timely manner, and improve the cross-regional and cross-departmental linkage mechanism. In view of the problems exposed by this incident, in 2021, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province and Qijiang District, Chongqing City will carry out an emergency drill for cross-provincial environmental emergencies to test the effectiveness of emergency command, departmental linkage and upstream-downstream linkage mechanism.
  (B) Improve the level of risk prevention and control and emergency response capabilities of pipeline enterprises.
  All pipeline enterprises should attach great importance to environmental risk management, prepare environmental emergency plans on the basis of environmental risk assessment, and make a good connection with government plans; Improve the pipeline environmental risk management system, refine the risk prevention and control measures from the perspective of avoiding environmental pollution, regularly carry out self-inspection of environmental risks and make timely rectification. Enterprises should reserve necessary emergency materials and equipment in accordance with the requirements of the plan, strengthen personnel training, strengthen information communication with local governments and relevant departments, establish a working mechanism of mass prevention, mass prevention and treatment, organize regular environmental emergency drills and training, and continuously improve the comprehensive emergency response capability.
  (C) to strengthen local environmental emergency capacity building.
  1. Improve the ability of environmental emergency monitoring at the grass-roots level. It is necessary to strengthen the integration and analysis of emergency monitoring equipment, personnel and other resource information, increase the skills training of grassroots monitoring personnel, especially the training of non-conventional pollutant monitoring personnel, and establish and improve the system and mechanism for social monitoring forces, including enterprises with monitoring capabilities, to participate in emergency monitoring of sudden environmental incidents, so as to ensure timely supplementary support in response to incidents.
  2. Strengthen the capacity building of environmental emergency rescue at the grass-roots level. All localities should reserve materials and equipment such as cutting off, controlling, collecting, degrading, safety protection, emergency communication and command, and emergency monitoring according to the characteristics of environmental risks in administrative areas. It is necessary to dynamically standardize the management of environmental emergency materials information and improve the environmental emergency materials information management system. Strengthen the training of knowledge and skills of grass-roots environmental emergency management personnel and rescuers in dealing with all kinds of sudden environmental incidents, and improve the professional level of environmental emergency.
  (4) Accelerate the construction of joint prevention and control mechanisms for upstream and downstream.
  All localities should, in accordance with the requirements of the Guiding Opinions on Establishing a Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism for Sudden Water Pollution Incidents in the Upstream and Downstream of Inter-provincial Watershed, accelerate the signing of a framework agreement for joint prevention and control of sudden water pollution incidents in the upstream and downstream of inter-provincial watersheds. The upstream area should focus on information such as water conservancy dams and environmental risk sources, while the downstream area should focus on hydrological information such as river flow and velocity, as well as environmentally sensitive target information such as important lakes and reservoirs and drinking water sources. In view of the key rivers with large environmental risks, many sensitive targets, large flow and fast flow rate, the "one river, one policy" joint prevention and control scheme can be jointly formulated. Upstream and downstream areas should vigorously carry out joint emergency drills, timely test the effectiveness of joint prevention and control mechanisms and related emergency plans, and effectively improve the coordination and cooperation capabilities of upstream and downstream in rapid response, emergency monitoring and emergency response.
  (five) the establishment of multi-sectoral participation in the drinking water source security mechanism.
  The security of drinking water sources involves water conservancy, agriculture and rural areas, health, urban management, ecological environment and other related departments. During the response to this incident, it was revealed that the water plant had shortcomings in water quality monitoring and advanced treatment capacity. It is suggested to strengthen the capacity building of biological early warning and monitoring of comprehensive toxicity in water sources, and establish a multi-sector safety guarantee mechanism for drinking water sources from early warning, monitoring, emergency response and standby water source construction.

Guqin producer in Guangxi farmhouse: Go to Taiwan Province to bring his craft back to his hometown.

  BEIJING, May 16 (Xinhua) Title: Guqin producer in Guangxi farmhouse: Going to Taiwan Province to bring his craft back to his hometown.

  Author Liu Juncong Huang Lijie

  In a field manor in Liujiang District, Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province, firewood for cooking by the fireside is sizzling. At this time, Wei Xing held a brush and skillfully painted the guqin blank with "big paint" over and over again. This is a natural paint made from plants, and only the traditional guqin production will go through this important process step.

  Born in 1985, Wei Xing is a guqin producer who has been studying guqin production for more than three years. She studied guzheng in the Conservatory of Music at the university, and never imagined that she would get involved with the guqin one day and become the inheritor of the production skills of this ancient musical instrument.

  In the 2008 Olympic Games, an ethereal guqin piece "The Legacy of Taikoo" echoed over the "Bird’s Nest" Stadium, attracting the attention of the whole world, including Wei Xing, who just graduated from college. "At that time, I was fascinated by its unique timbre. Before the song of the Olympic Games was played, almost no one knew guqin, and many people would mistake guqin for guzheng, so it was very difficult to learn it. " Wei Xing said.

  As a last resort, Wei Xing at that time could only teach himself to play guqin with the help of relevant textbooks. With the rapid development of playing skills, Wei Xing became more and more fond of this ancient instrument. In 2015, while visiting relatives in Taiwan Province, Wei Xing met Lin Lizheng, a well-known local guqin producer. This coincidence made guqin completely change Wei Xing’s life.

  "At that time, I wanted to worship Master Lin as a teacher and learn the production process of Guqin. But master Lin watched a girl film of mine, but he didn’t agree anyway. In the end, it was a long time before the master reluctantly accepted me as an apprentice. After I really got started, I discovered that guqin production is not an easy task. " Wei Xing said.

  Wei Xing said that the production of guqin should strictly follow the tradition and the process is complicated. Just the process of painting surface polishing needs to be polished step by step and repeatedly by hand. "The key point of this process is not to use force, but to polish it gently. Brothers and sisters joked that they should’ not eat for three days’ before starting polishing, so the intensity is just right. " Weixing laughed.

  The tedious and boring production process, coupled with the master’s high-standard production requirements, made this girl who had left her hometown once think of giving up. However, an extremely harsh rebuke from the master made Wei Xing’s psychological defense completely collapse.

  "At that time, I immediately wanted to pack my bags and go home. But then I calmed down and thought about it carefully. If I don’t learn this skill, then this instrument is very likely to be lost in the future. " With the comfort of brothers and sisters, Wei Xing picked up the carving knife again. "Learning to make guqin is also tempering and practicing, which has taught me meditation." She said.

  Three years later, Wei Xing bid farewell to his master and classmates, and returned to his hometown successfully. Wei Xing, who had a "garden dream" since childhood, rented a farmhouse quadrangle in the suburbs of Liuzhou and engaged in guqin production in a beautiful and secluded environment every day. She said that it takes one to two years to make each guqin. At present, she has completed a number of customized guqin works, and the price ranges from 10,000 yuan.

  It is understood that the history of guqin can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, and it has a history of at least 3,000 years. Its timbre is low and its aftertaste is long. As a musical instrument with high cultural status in ancient China, Guqin has been a bridge for many scholars to exchange ideas since ancient times, and it is known as "scholars never withdraw their harps and instruments without reason".

  After years of silence, Guqin has once again attracted the attention and love of China people, and has gradually become one of the teaching subjects in major music colleges in recent two years. "The domestic environment is slowly getting better, and more and more people are beginning to learn about this ancient musical instrument from me. I am glad to see that it has not been forgotten." Wei Xing said.

  At present, Wei Xing has also opened guqin playing classes for adults and teenagers, so that more people can feel the charm of the voice of the ages. "Everyone likes it very much, and I will try my best to teach them playing skills. I don’t want this instrument to be lost in our generation." Wei Xing said. (End)

Dragon Boat Festival, an ancient rhyme and a new sound, is deeply rooted in the feelings of home and country and hopes for well-being.

On June 3rd, CCTV Comprehensive Channel of the Central Radio and Television General Station launched a large-scale cultural series "Ancient Rhyme and New Sounds" Dragon Boat Festival program, which commemorated the poet Qu Yuan with a strong humanistic color and praised his ardent feelings for home and country and noble character. Based on Chinese’s careful observation of nature, we should observe the midsummer Dragon Boat Festival to get rid of summer heat and epidemic prevention, pray for well-being, get close to green mountains and green waters and enjoy the summer scenery. We also "live" with cultural relics, and creatively interpret precious cultural relics stories such as Qu Zixing’s Yin Tu by Chen Hongshou in the Ming Dynasty, Golden Dragon Walking in the Tang Dynasty, Jinming Pool’s Bid Map by Zhang Zeduan in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Children’s Fight Sketch by Jin Tingbiao in the Qing Dynasty, so as to trace back to the roots of the nation and build up cultural self-confidence.

First, art outlines Qu Yuan’s pure heart and promotes patriotism.In the Tang poetry, it is said that "the festival is divided into the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is rumored to be Qu Yuan through the ages." Chinese remembered Qu Yuan from generation to generation and linked the Dragon Boat Festival with him, which shows people’s deep affection for him. The opening of the Dragon Boat Festival program "Canglang Journey" is based on Qu Yuan’s work "Chuci Fisherman" during his exile in northern Han Dynasty, praising Qu Yuan’s noble ambition and unswerving feelings of home and country. Through the clever use of visual technology, the scene of Qu Yuan’s singing on the banks of the river is artistically presented, creating a rich scene of surging water and rising sun on the banks of the river in Chu, showing Qu Yuan’s childlike heart as surging as surging waves and his noble character as clear and bright as the sky. The program is ingenious, introducing cultural relics as a carrier, and excavating the deep meaning of Qu Yuan, the embodiment of patriotism depicted in cultural relics through interviews between hosts and experts. The cultural relics involved include Qu Zi Xing Yin Tu by Chen Hongshou in Ming Dynasty and Qu Yuan Tu by modern Fu Baoshi. Guided by precious cultural relics, combined with careful creation and interviews with rich knowledge points, it highlights the thick core of traditional culture that really touches the hearts of the audience. In addition, the program "Going Home" deduces the dialogue across time and space, skillfully connecting the classic poems of Qu Yuan and Yu Guangzhong as the core, symbolizing the spread of the context and the inheritance of the feelings of home and country. In the program "Searching Up and Down", the singer and hundreds of students sang together "The road is long and Xiu Yuan is Xi, I will search up and down", with a magnificent momentum and lingering sound. These programs are full of eagerness to lead the audience to explore the deepest part of the human spirit.Mark a spiritual height for our nation, so as to be more clear about our attitude and value in life, carry forward the feelings of home and country, and gather the great power of national rejuvenation.

Second, the panorama presents the connotation of the Dragon Boat Festival and builds cultural self-confidence.The program has deeply explored many customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, which are diverse and colorful. For example, "Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer, flying dragons in the sky" has placed people’s good wishes to welcome good fortune. The program was superimposed from "Kowloon Map" to the scene. Nine dancers showed nine images of dragons with different personalities and states one by one. Finally, all the dancers gathered into a dragon, showing the majestic momentum of "the dragon is in the sky" and expressing the Chinese nation’s worship of the dragon totem and the spiritual temperament of "self-improvement". The Song of the Race is based on Liu Yuxi’s poems, and the picture of a hundred races in Zhang Zeduan’s "The Race for the Bid in Jinming Pool" is deduced. The Dragon Boat Festival presents fans with beautiful meanings, such as encouraging benevolence. Fan Dancing Benevolence is interpreted by telling the story of "Xie An presents fans" by famous people in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Casting swords at the Dragon Boat Festival is a folk custom, and the double sword dance "Soul of Sword" uses Gu Jian, a state of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period — — Shao Yunjian and Cao Zhi’s Miscellaneous Poems, Guo Zhen’s Gu Jian/Sword Pieces, etc., interpret the artistic conception of "the sword front comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold". Wearing five-color silk thread to ward off evil spirits during the Dragon Boat Festival has a beautiful meaning of praying for Naji, and the dance acrobatic "Five-color wisp" has activated this custom. The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the "Orchid Bathing Festival", specially designed the song "Lan Cao" to show the love of ancient and modern literati for orchids and the noble character represented by orchids. Fisherman’s prideLiu Hua in May is enchanting and baking, which is created according to Ouyang Xiu’s masterpiece in the Song Dynasty, and designed visually according to the ancient painting Duanyang Story Map by Xu Yang, a painter in the Qing Dynasty, showing the colorful scenes of the ancients watching the race, hanging Ai people and wrapping corn during the Dragon Boat Festival. During the discussion, the guests of the program also listed the stories of ancient epidemic prevention and disease drive, such as hanging wormwood, killing five poisons and drinking realgar wine, and discussed the national psychology of the ancients praying for well-being during the Dragon Boat Festival. All these can be called a unique journey to trace the roots of the nation. Relying on ancient books, ancient paintings, poems, intangible cultural heritage and other elements, the program deeply digs into the folk customs, history and culture during the Dragon Boat Festival, presenting the double meanings of both humanity and nature in a panoramic way, which once brought cultural infiltration with ideological and artistic features.

Third, the shocking presentation of aesthetic audio-visual products, creative new wind blowing.The program resonates with the traditional culture and the current public demand at the same frequency, creating a "new national tide" boutique content. Taking the traditional festivals in China as the breakthrough point, the program creation team combines the stage with the live shooting from the perspective of "youth", and tells the cultural origin behind the traditional festivals in China in a way that young people like. As a result, the audience saw more real-life historical sites in Searching Up and Down, and the singer walked through the green mountains and green hills in Zigui to explore Qu Yuan’s footprints. "Flying Dragon in the Sky", "Picking Lotus Songs", "Soul of the Sword" and "Fisherman’s Pride May Liuhua" are all empowered by technology, which makes the audio-visual effect by going up one flight of stairs. Together with the dedication of artists, the programs are more exciting and bring audience an audio-visual shocking artistic feeling. The originality of the program lies in the progressive cut-in by multiple decoding and opening methods, which makes the Dragon Boat Festival cultural program like a spiritual baptism and the inheritance ceremony of excellent traditional culture. What we see is the genetic code and cultural picture hidden in the depths of China culture, which is the most vivid display of a nation’s cultural tradition, ethics, value belief and aesthetic taste. "Let the cultural relics collected in the museum, the heritage displayed on the vast land, and the words written in ancient books come alive".

Chinese civilization has a long history and is profound. It is the unique spiritual symbol of the Chinese nation, the foundation of contemporary China culture, the spiritual bond that maintains Chinese people all over the world, and the treasure of cultural innovation in China. The Dragon Boat Festival program of the large-scale cultural series "Ancient Rhyme and New Sounds" makes the most basic cultural genes of the Chinese nation adapt to the contemporary culture and coordinate with the modern society through the excavation and interpretation of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and makes Chinese excellent traditional culture integrate into the new era and enter a new life, condensing a strong centripetal force and effectively enhancing the self-confidence of the national culture.
