Mass production or concept? Lifan’s new coupe declaration map exposure

 

    In 2007, Lifan announced seven brand-new models under research, among which only lifan 620 and 320 went on the market successfully, and SUVs were also in full swing to prepare for the market. However, other models announced in the same period almost disappeared. Except for the design drawings of several mid-to high-end cars recently announced, MPV and A00-class minicars were all silent, and the models under planning here have not been completely finalized. The latest declaration shows that Lifan has actually begun to plan the development of coupe models.

    Although there is only a simple declaration picture, its shape is still very biased towards the sports car style, especially the auxiliary air inlet on the side door. Of course, the possibility of the rear engine of this car is not high. If this auxiliary air inlet is not imaginary, it will provide strong cooling air flow for the rear wheel brake disc.

    The front air intake is designed as a pentagonal shield. If the renderings are finalized, it means that the engine will be front-mounted, and the headlights are designed as an equilateral triangle, so as to support the visual lethality of the whole front-end profile.

    The side design of the renderings is too sloppy, giving people a feeling that it is not like a coupe, but more like a toy for naive children. In particular, the top is not in harmony with the curved surface of the first 45-degree renderings, and the slightly rounded top is not reflected in the following picture, while the forward-facing engine room is designed as a semicircle, and the effect is very distorted.

    The rear design is unique, the rear bumper is cancelled, the auxiliary air inlet of the side door is connected with the air outlet at the rear end, and the air outlet is connected with the side car body as a whole, and the idea is very novel.

    According to the renderings, the possibility of mass production of this coupe of Lifan is not too great, and it is not known whether it belongs to the concept car or not, but this set of pictures can give a glimpse of the leopard. Lifan is not limited to the development of cars, SUVs and MPVs, but also has its preliminary plans for sports cars. As for the extent to which it reaches, the stereotypes are all unknown. At present, we can only guess the real intention of Lifan’s model planning with the help of the declared pictures, and perhaps more modeling renderings will be exposed later. Sohu will pay close attention to it.

    The overall modeling of lifan 520 Pilot Edition draws lessons from the shape of hammerhead shark, and the overall changes focus on the front face, front and rear headlights and bumper. The shield-shaped mouth design on the front face is quite simple and honest, simple and steady. Crystal headlights are set in the appearance of the eyebrow frame, which is more fashionable and tough than the old models.

    In terms of power, lifan 520 Pilot Edition is equipped with 1.3L and 1.6L engines. These two engines have been improved in engine power and structure. This mainly includes three aspects: first, the shape curve and material of camshaft are changed, the opening range of intake and exhaust valves and the valve timing of engine are changed; Secondly, a new spiral air inlet is adopted, and a cylinder is arranged at the same time. The air inlet is composed of an air inlet, a spiral chamber and an outlet of the spiral chamber, and the spiral chamber is composed of a plurality of tangent three-dimensional arcs. Finally, the vortex tumble combustion chamber is updated. Through the improvement, the fuel economy of the whole vehicle has been improved to some extent.

Is there a "hidden pit" for extended-range cars? Maybe it’s more than battery life!

With the upsurge of new energy vehicle market, electric vehicles were once known as "the savior of electric vehicles". Many consumers have started this seemingly perfect dual-power car with full expectations, hoping to get rid of the endurance anxiety of pure electric vehicles. However, many car owners found that the extended-range car was far from ideal after actual use. It brings not only the advantages of endurance, but also many headache "hidden problems". What on earth makes the extended-range car a "thorn in the heart" for car owners? Let us uncover the truth behind this "perfect system".

Superficial "Perfect Dual Power": Is it really a win-win situation?

In 2024, the market of new energy vehicles continued to heat up, and electric vehicles attracted countless attention because of their unique "dual power system". By combining the small gasoline engine with the electric system, the extended-range vehicle was once regarded as the perfect solution to solve the short battery life of pure electric vehicles. Its principle seems simple: when the battery is dead, the engine starts to generate electricity or directly drive the motor, which avoids the dependence of traditional electric vehicles on charging piles.

Many people believe that this design makes the extended-range vehicle have the advantages of environmental protection and long battery life, and meets the multiple needs of urban commuting and long-distance travel. However, car owners who have actually used extended-range vehicles have said that the ideal is far from reality.

Some car owners complained: "This car is neither as economical as pure electric vehicles, nor has the long-distance advantage of fuel vehicles. It is really an embarrassing existence." Another car owner also bluntly said: "As soon as the extended range mode is started, the power suddenly drops, which is completely different from the smoothness when the electric car is usually turned on."

"Trap" in Use: New Trouble Brought by Extended Range Vehicle

In a survey of users of extended-range vehicles in September, 2024, more than 60% car owners’ satisfaction with extended-range vehicles dropped significantly after using them for three to six months. Hidden behind this are many problems encountered in the actual use of extended-range vehicles, which far exceed the expectations of consumers.

Complex dual power system.Although the original intention of the extended-range vehicle design is to combine the dual advantages of electric and fuel, it also makes its internal structure more complicated. Many car owners report that the failure rate of extended-range vehicles is significantly higher than that of traditional vehicles. The difficulty of maintenance also increases, because it is necessary to deal with not only the problems of power system, but also the faults of internal combustion engine. This makes the maintenance cost high, which makes many car owners shout "the pit is too deep".

Paradox between energy consumption and cost.According to the theory, the extended-range vehicle should have both the power-saving advantages of electric vehicles and the endurance of fuel vehicles. However, in actual use, many car owners find that the energy consumption of vehicles is higher than expected in both electric mode and extended range mode, which increases the cost of vehicles. Some car owners joked: "This car not only didn’t save me money, but made me spend more money."

"Flexibility" becomes a burden.Although the extended-range car seems to be free to choose whether to use electricity or oil, in actual travel, this "freedom" has become a burden. Car owners need to repeatedly calculate electricity, fuel consumption and charging time, which increases the complexity of travel planning. Frequent mode switching makes driving no longer easy. Some car owners complain: "Every trip is like solving a math problem, which is really troublesome and tiring."

Neglected "Driving Experience": Fatal Shortcomings of Extended Range Vehicles

In the summer of 2024, a well-known car evaluation expert put forward a widely discussed view on social media: "The biggest disadvantage of extended-range cars is not their endurance, but their poor driving experience." These words were quickly recognized by many car owners.

The sense of frustration during power switching.When the battery is exhausted and the range extender begins to intervene, the vehicle often has obvious frustration, as if the driver suddenly stepped on the brake, which affects the overall driving comfort. Many car owners described it as: "It was originally well opened, and suddenly it was like hitting an invisible wall."

The dynamic response becomes worse.In the extended range mode, the dynamic response of the vehicle is obviously reduced, especially when accelerating, and the feeling becomes sluggish and weak. Some car owners vividly compared: "Usually it is like riding a fast horse, but after the electricity is used up, this car is like an old ox that can’t be pulled."

Noise troubles. After the intervention of the range extender, the noise produced far exceeds expectations. The original quiet electric driving experience was replaced by the roar of the engine in the extended range mode, which affected the quiet feeling inside the car. Some car owners said helplessly: "I bought a car for comfort, but now I feel like sitting next to a generator, and my ears are almost deaf."

Loss of driving pleasure. haveAccording to the feedback from the owner, in the electric mode, the extended-range car can bring smooth acceleration and quick driving experience. But once you enter the extended range mode, this driving pleasure disappears. On the contrary, the extended-range car makes the driving experience boring, which has neither the fast response of a pure tram nor the reliability of a fuel car.

The Future of Extended Range Vehicles: Worth Expecting or Thinking Again?

The original intention of the extended range technology is good. It tries to integrate the advantages of electric vehicles and fuel vehicles and provide users with the best of both worlds. However, the reality is that the current application of this technology is not mature and even disappoints many car owners. Some experts in the industry pointed out: "If the power system of extended-range vehicles can be seamlessly switched in the future, it may improve the current problems. But at present, this technology still has a long way to go. " For those consumers who are considering buying extended-range cars, it may be necessary to carefully weigh their car demand.

As a new category in the new energy vehicle market, the extended-range vehicle seems to have solved the battery life problem of pure trams, but its complex dual-power system, energy consumption and maintenance costs, as well as the lack of driving experience, are still shortcomings that cannot be ignored. With the further development of technology in the future, maybe the extended-range car can really become an ideal choice. But before that, choosing a more mature pure electric vehicle or traditional fuel vehicle may bring a better car experience.

After all, what car owners are pursuing is not only to solve the anxiety of endurance, but also to pursue a truly worry-free, money-saving and comfortable car. However, these extended-range vehicles have not been fully realized at present. Will the future extended-range car really "extend" our sense of happiness? Let’s wait and see.

one

Several departments participated in the on-site emergency repair.

  Baoshan Bridge Bus Station on Jianguo North Road, near the intersection of the stadium. This section is the bustling commercial street in Hangzhou, and there is a large residential area behind the bus stop.

  Yesterday morning, just next to this bus stop, in just a few minutes, the road surface collapsed a lot. With the pungent smell, a burst of yellow smoke emerged from the collapse and rose into the sky.

  The reporter learned from the relevant departments that as of 0: 00 today, the leakage of the subway communication channel has been controlled; About 1700 cubic meters of grouting was injected into the collapsed pavement of Jianguo North Road, which has been basically backfilled, and the deformation of surrounding houses has been initially controlled.

  site

  Yellow smoke filled the air.

  Pavement collapse of Jianguo North Road

  At about 11: 30 noon, the reporter from qianjiang evening news arrived at the collapse site, which is located on the south side of Baoshan Bridge Bus Station on Jianguo North Road from south to north.

  The traffic police have taken two-way road closure measures from the intersection of Jianguo North Road Stadium to Fengqi Road, and all motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians are prohibited from entering this section.

  Near the collapse, the reporter saw that there was still a small amount of yellow dust pouring out continuously, which could smell a heavy pungent smell. The asphalt road to the south of the collapse was covered with a thick layer of yellow dust.

  Passers-by have left in a hurry, clutching their noses, and the police and community workers are persuading residents to leave at nearby intersections and community gates.

  At this time, the collapse continues. Qianbao reporter saw that electric cars, bicycles and a tree on the sidewalk parked on the side also fell into the pit with the collapse and expansion, and the side of the bus stop tilted.

  "Put out the cigarette soon." "There is a gas leak, hurry up." The staff of the gas company constantly reminded.

  Zhou Lihua, secretary of Donghe Community, told the reporter that after learning about this situation at 11: 40, the community quickly took action: the staff kept reminding more than 400 households along the street with microphones and speakers to close doors and windows, not to use naked flames, and gay men not to smoke.

  Due to traffic control, Xiao Yaoyi, a fourth-grade primary school student in Liangzhu, Yuhang, was so anxious that he cried on the side of the road. Because the road to the training class was blocked, he didn’t know how to detour and was going to be late for class. Every afternoon, he takes the subway from Liangzhu to Jianguo Road subway station, and then walks north to Canghe to attend the Olympic Mathematics training class, so Qianbao reporter takes him to walk around Donghe Park on the west side of Binhe Square and sends the children to the training class.

  rush to deal with an emergency

  Multi-department arrived at the scene for emergency rescue.

  Unified appraisal of dangerous buildings in 13 buildings

  After the collapse, the construction committee, emergency management bureau, traffic police, fire control, city investment, electric power and other departments arrived at the scene to participate in the joint rescue of emergency measures.

  At 11: 14 noon yesterday, the gas group received an alarm. Ten minutes later, the repair personnel confirmed the collapse site. At 11: 37, the three valves of the medium-pressure main pipe and the low-pressure valve on the south side were closed on site.

  At 12 o’clock noon, cement trucks drove into the scene of the accident, and the construction unit began to inject cement into the collapsed pavement.

  Some staff members told Qianbao that concrete and cement will solidify after grouting, which can fill the gap below the collapse. On the one hand, prevent the collapse of a larger area; On the other hand, it is also to repair the road surface.

  At about 6 o’clock in the evening, qianjiang evening news reporter saw that the road surface was almost leveled.

  Yesterday afternoon, a dangerous building inspection company in Hangzhou began to conduct unified appraisal of these 13 buildings, and a dangerous building appraisal report will be issued as soon as this afternoon. Once identified as a dangerous building, according to the level, whether it needs reinforcement or demolition and reconstruction, it will be handled in strict accordance with the requirements. As for the news that a house around the scene of the online accident has been identified as a dangerous building, it was confirmed as false news after verification.

  In addition, Qianbao reporter also learned that the accident has no impact on the subway lines already in operation, but the construction period of Line 5 under construction will be affected a little, depending on the rescue progress.

  cause

  Leakage occurred during subway construction.

  Causing the road surface to collapse with gas leakage

  At 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon, Hangzhou Metro Group held a brief news briefing.

  Zhao Yi, Deputy General Manager of Metro Group, introduced — —

  At about 10: 00 a.m. on August 28th, water leakage occurred in the construction of the communication passage between Baoshan Bridge Station and Jianguo North Road Station of Metro Line 5, which led to the pavement collapse of Jianguo North Road (Tiyuchang Road-Fengqi Road Section), accompanied by some gas leakage. City Metro Group immediately organized emergency rescue and closed the roads and personnel of Jianguo North Road (Tiyuchang Road-Fengqi Road Section). The incident did not cause any casualties.

  After the incident, Dai Jianping, member of the Standing Committee of Hangzhou Municipal Committee and executive deputy mayor, and Miao Chengchao, deputy mayor, immediately rushed to the scene to direct the rescue, start the emergency plan, and organize joint rescue. The Xiacheng District Party Committee and District Government, the Municipal Construction Committee, the Emergency Management Bureau, the traffic police, the fire department, the city investment department, the electric power department and other departments arrived at the scene to take emergency measures for joint rescue.

  In order to ensure the safety of the surrounding people and buildings, the relevant departments evacuated the relevant residents of Shuyuan Community around the collapsed road surface for the first time. The Municipal Metro Group has strengthened the monitoring of surrounding buildings and arranged a comprehensive investigation of the safety of surrounding communities and underground pipelines. Accident rescue is being carried out in an orderly manner.

  Qianbao reporter learned from an insider that the most direct cause of the accident was the leakage of the communication passage under construction, and the soil layer above the communication passage lost, which led to the collapse of the road surface.

  The so-called "communication channel" is a channel set between two subway tunnels. If there is a problem in one tunnel as a whole, pedestrians can move to another tunnel through the connecting passage, and the safety factor will be greatly increased, so it is also called "escape passage".

  Because the communication channel is connected with the track area (subway tunnel), the leakage water enters the subway tunnel of Line 5 (near the Shuyuan community) from the communication channel. After the incident, the Metro Group took emergency measures to temporarily block the water accumulation area in the tunnel and build a protective wall with cement to prevent water from flowing to Jianguo North Road Station on Line 5 under construction.

  As for why the communication channel leaks water, the specific reasons are still under investigation.

  Why is the smoke at the scene yellow?

  It was windy at noon yesterday, and I could smell the thick smell of "rotten eggs" far away from the collapse.

  Hangzhou Gas Group told Qianbao reporter that citizens need not worry about this. The main component of natural gas is methane, which is non-toxic and harmless. Because natural gas itself is colorless and odorless, once it leaks, it can easily lead to accidents, so "odor", a vigilance agent called tetrahydrothiophene, is added to natural gas. Once it is leaked, ordinary people can detect it as soon as they smell it, which can improve their vigilance.

  In addition to the bad smell, yellow smoke billowed at the scene of yesterday’s incident. Hangzhou Gas Group explained: "Due to the leakage of the gas medium pressure pipe, the leaked airflow brought up the yellow sand and dust inclusions in the soil layer, resulting in yellow smoke."

Hawthorn, a treasure food from wild fruit to positive.

  Zhang pinqiu

  When each layer of forest is fully dyed, clusters of round hawthorn fruits bloom with red smiles on the branches, adding a joy to the harvest season. Hawthorn is one of the oldest and most common tree species in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere, and its fruit — — Hawthorn can also be called a treasure food. Even in some important historical events in the west, it has its shadow.

  It was regarded as wild fruit for a long time in ancient times.

  Crataegus pinnatifida is a perennial woody plant of Rosaceae, which is native to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, mostly wild, and has many varieties in Asia, Europe and North America. In China, there are mainly two kinds of hawthorn, namely, South Hawthorn and North Hawthorn, and there are more than 30 varieties, such as sour hawthorn, hawthorn and fat fruit. Generally speaking, Nanshan hawthorn fruit is small and sour, mainly used for medicine; The hawthorn fruit in Beishan is large, fragrant and moderately sweet and sour.

  Crataegus pinnatifida, which originated in ancient times, was not named by this name at first in China. The "pestle" recorded in Erya two thousand years ago is considered to be the ancient name of hawthorn recorded in the early literature of China. Because in the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen quoted according to Guo Pu, a scholar in the Jin Dynasty: "Erya says: ‘ The tree is like a plum, its son is as big as a finger, and it is red and edible. ’ This is hawthorn. " Hawthorn was also called Monkey Hawthorn and Rat Hawthorn in ancient China, because "monkeys and rats like to eat it".

  According to ancient records, our ancestors knew that wild hawthorn could be eaten more than two thousand years ago. However, for a long time, hawthorn was only a kind of wild fruit, and it was not cultivated artificially and became the main fruit. There is no hawthorn in the 14 kinds of fruits listed in Zhou Shu and Li Ji, which are "for offering sacrifices and enjoying guests". Hawthorn was mentioned in Guang Zhi, a natural history book written by Guo Yigong in Jin Dynasty. The book said that Hawthorn: "Mu Yi is long, with a variety of salaries and fertile fields." It can be seen that most hawthorn trees were still in the wild at that time, and people occasionally collected hawthorn fruits as food to satisfy their hunger. The main use of hawthorn trees was firewood or fertilizer accumulation.

  The main reason why hawthorn was regarded as a wild fruit for a long time in ancient times was that it was sour. In fact, the sugar content of hawthorn fruit is more than twice as high as that of apples and pears, but why do people still feel that hawthorn is much more sour than apples and pears, and it is often even "sour"? This is because the content of organic acids in hawthorn pulp is two to three times higher than that of apples and pears. The high content of organic acids dilutes the sweetness of sugar, so hawthorn tastes more sour than sweet.

  By the Tang Dynasty, the status of hawthorn as a wild fruit had been slightly improved, and it had been given to guests as a local product by the villagers. Liu Zongyuan, a great poet, wrote in the article "Talking with the Twenty-eighth Dean Liu about the old words and feelings, and sending gifts to Lizhou": "My son gives bitter bamboo shoots, and my father gives sour hawthorn." It can be seen that its status at that time was similar to that of bitter bamboo shoots, but it was still far from the good fruits such as peaches, dates and pears. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that Beijing cake made of hawthorn, also known as golden cake, was regarded as one of the "best food in the imperial capital", and hawthorn became a regular fruit.

  2 Spleen-invigorating and appetizing Beijing flavor food

  The remarkable improvement of the status of hawthorn has a great relationship with the discovery of the medicinal value of hawthorn by famous doctors such as Zhu Danxi in Yuan Dynasty and Li Shizhen in Ming Dynasty. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Ancient prescriptions are rarely used, since Zhu’s contribution to hawthorn in Danxi, and then it became an important medicine." The utilization of hawthorn in traditional Chinese medicine mainly uses fruits. Physicians in Yuan and Ming Dynasties found that hawthorn is mild in nature, sour and sweet in taste, and enters the spleen, stomach and liver meridian, which is a good medicine for invigorating spleen and appetizing, resolving food stagnation, promoting blood circulation and resolving phlegm.

  Hawthorn has a remarkable effect in promoting digestion and resolving stagnation. In TCM clinic, all types of food stagnation, whether it is overeating high fat, protein’s "meat accumulation" or overeating rice and flour "grain accumulation" and "area", can be eliminated by using hawthorn. Relatively speaking, the digestion effect of hawthorn is better for the "meat accumulation" caused by overeating fat and protein. In this regard, there are relevant experimental records in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Boiling old chicken and hard meat, adding a few hawthorn is easy to rot. Then it will eliminate the accumulation of meat, and the cover can be pushed. " Therefore, when we stew meat daily, we add a few hawthorn to stew it together, and the meat is particularly easy to rot. Hawthorn is not only used as a single medicine to treat diseases, but also forms various prescriptions with other Chinese medicines. For the "grain accumulation" and "area" caused by overeating rice flour, hawthorn can be made into fried three immortals or burnt three immortals with malt and medicated leaven, which can digest fullness and belching. In the "Baohe Pill" created by Zhu Danxi, a famous doctor in the Yuan Dynasty, hawthorn is the main component, and it is made into pills with Massa Medicata Fermentata, Pinellia ternata, Poria, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Forsythia, and Radish Seed, which is mainly used to treat gastrointestinal dyspepsia, nausea, anorexia, food stagnation, abdominal distension and pain caused by it, and constipation. Hawthorn pill, which is commonly used to treat infantile dyspepsia, is also derived from the formula of Baohe Pill.Modern medicine has found that flavonoids in hawthorn can resist free radicals harmful to human body, thus regulating immunity.

  After more than a thousand years of cultivation, the taste of hawthorn today is far from that of "sour hawthorn" of Liu Zongyuan at that time. In northern China, the mature maslinic acid is sweet and has a unique flavor. When eaten as a fresh fruit, it can be eaten directly to promote fluid production and quench thirst, or it can be made into fried red fruits and Sugar-Coated Berry, or it can be juiced for drinking. There are many forms of dried hawthorn, which can be directly soaked in water as a substitute for tea, and can also be processed into delicious snacks such as hawthorn slices, hawthorn cakes and fruit moutan. Hawthorn cake is also called Beijing cake or golden cake, and Beijing cake and shredded pear is a delicious and refreshing classic cold dish in Beijing cuisine. Various forms of hawthorn products not only enrich people’s taste buds, but also play a certain role in health care.

  Although hawthorn is good, there are several points to pay attention to when eating. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hawthorn should not be supplemented, and it should not be taken with ginseng and other supplements at the same time, so as not to offset the nourishing effect of ginseng. People with weak spleen and stomach should not eat more, and healthy people should eat it in moderation. Because of its high acidity, it is best not to eat on an empty stomach. Snacks such as hawthorn slices and cortex moutan contain a lot of sugar, so children, especially those who are changing their teeth, should not eat more. Brush your teeth and rinse your mouth in time after eating hawthorn products to avoid dental caries.

  Hawthorn trees that influenced western history

  Hawthorn not only has high edible and medicinal value, but also has high face value. Hawthorn trees bloom in early summer, and the flowers are as white as snow; In midsummer, the foliage is lush and the shade is covered; There are many red fruits in late autumn, and when the snow falls on the branches, it is beautiful. In Europe and North America, hawthorn is a very common greening tree species, and it has also witnessed some major events in the history of Europe and America.

  Hawthorn trees bloom in May and June, and the flowers have a unique fragrance, with about 15 to 30 flowers in a cluster. Most of the hawthorn flowers in China are white, and most of the hawthorn flowers in Europe and America are pink and red. In Europe, Britain, France, Sweden and other countries, hawthorn flowers are called Mayflowers and hawthorn trees are called Maytrees. In rural Europe, May Festival is celebrated every year. At this time, every household will decorate the courtyard with the branches of hawthorn trees, and people will sing and dance around the "Maypole" to worship the tree god and the grain god, praying for good weather and abundant crops. "Maypole" is a hawthorn tree wrapped with ribbons, symbolizing hope and harvest. In recent years, China has introduced the British hawthorn varieties "Hongyun" and "Hongbaoluo" for flower viewing, and the flowers are bright and dazzling, adding a touch of new color to the early summer of our cities.

  The leaves of hawthorn tree are edible. In Britain, young leaves in early spring can be used to make salads. The buds of hawthorn can also be eaten. In the English countryside, people call the tender leaves and buds of hawthorn "bread and cheese". The wood of some hawthorn varieties is very hard and very resistant to decay, and it is often used as tool handles and fence posts in rural North America. In carving, hawthorn is also the best substitute for boxwood.

  The beautiful and practical hawthorn tree is actually very easy to feed. Hawthorn trees grow fast and can blossom and bear fruit in the third year after planting. It has a wide range of adaptation to temperature, and the annual average temperature is between 4.7℃ and 16℃, which can meet its survival needs. Hawthorn tree has strong adaptability, drought resistance, waterlogging resistance, barren resistance, good life in neutral or weak acid soil, pruning resistance, extensive management resistance, less pests and diseases, and can maintain good landscape effect even if it is left unattended for many years after planting.

  Perhaps it is precisely because of the above advantages that hawthorn has a close relationship with some important events in western history. One of the most famous is the enclosure movement during the British industrial revolution, when people used hawthorn trees to enclosure. The British Parliament approved enclosure as a legal act in 1688. During the enclosure movement in the 18th and 19th centuries, Britain planted more than 200,000 miles of hawthorn hedges. One of the important reasons why people use hawthorn as a fence is that hawthorn grows vigorously, has many branches, takes shape quickly, has dense branches and sharp thorns, and is the most ideal fence to resist the invasion of animals and humans. The English name of hawthorn tree is Hawthorn, in which thorn means thorn. Since the enclosure movement, hawthorn hedge has become a natural hedge popular in Europe and America. In the famous Normandy military operation during World War II, French villagers planted a maze-like hawthorn hedge, which almost led to the failure of the Allied action. In 2018, the Commercial Press published a book "The Legend of Hawthorn Tree" written by American writer Bill Vaughan, which introduced in detail the important influence of this ordinary tree species on European and American history.

  4 Red fruits with rich meanings in poetry and painting

  Hawthorn, which has a long history and is widely distributed, has also appeared frequently in literature, painting, songs and movies at all times and in all countries. Due to the different customs and histories of different ethnic groups, the symbolic meanings of hawthorn fruit and hawthorn tree are different in eastern and western cultures. However, with the deepening of globalization and increasingly frequent cultural exchanges, this difference in hawthorn images is gradually becoming smaller.

  In China’s classical literature, hawthorn, as a wild fruit, is a symbol of tranquility, indifference and unpretentious. A poem "Singing Hawthorn" written by the monk Zhiyi is a typical one: "The branches bend fiercely with the sun setting, and the head is held high in the wind. With a smile in the leisurely years, I am indifferent to the sour fruit of life. " Lu You, a great poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, also wrote about hawthorn many times. The most popular one is "Traveling": "When you walk all the way into the valley, you are a donkey to rest in a wild family. Shan Tong bears the burden of selling red fruits, and the village girls pick blue flowers on the fence. Cooking on the bonfire will make a meal, and the spring will cook tea in the afternoon. There is no way to travel, so why not laugh? " The sentence "Shan Tong pays to sell red fruits, and the village girls pick blue flowers from the fence" outlines a colorful and dynamic pastoral scene with the method of line drawing. Lu You has mentioned "red fruit" many times in his poems, such as "red fruits are numerous and green, and they are still sour before frost", describing the hawthorn that is not yet fully mature; "When the red fruit is ripe, the clear shade is gradually becoming", which describes the hawthorn tree planted in your own yard.

  Hawthorn is a frequent visitor in Chinese painting. Among the flower-and-bird paintings handed down from the Song Dynasty in Shanghai Museum, there is such a picture of a red fruit and a green snipe, which frames the interesting moment when the green-haired snipe flies on the branches of hawthorn. In modern times, people like Qi Baishi, Wu Changshuo, Pan Tianshou, etc. also like to draw hawthorn, so as to express a simple and plain attitude towards life.

  In modern literature in China, the red hawthorn fruit is a symbol of love. One of the representative works of the poet Haizi is Hawthorn Tree. In Haizi’s eyes, the goddess in his heart lives on the hawthorn tree, and the fiery fruit of hawthorn is as warm as Van Gogh’s sunflower. In this century, The Love of Hawthorn Tree written by writer Amy shows beautiful and pure love, which was later put on the screen by director Zhang Yimou and became a well-known classic love movie.

  In fact, hawthorn represents love influenced by the Soviet song Hawthorn Tree. This old song spread in China in 1950s and 1960s, and expressed a young woman’s perplexity in the face of two young men who adored her. The song has a beautiful melody and has been covered by many domestic singers. But in fact, the original Russian name of the song is "Sorbus Urals", which was translated into hawthorn tree because it has white flowers in summer and small red fruits in autumn, just like Sorbus Urals, and its popularity in China is far less than that of hawthorn. Later, Chinese people generally recognized this cultural interpretation, and hawthorn became popular as a symbol of love in China literary world.

  In European and American cultures, hawthorn trees represent thorns and isolation, while hawthorn flowers represent hope. In 1620, in order to avoid religious persecution, more than 100 British Puritans and more than 30 sailors sailed to the New World on the ship "Mayflower", which opened the history of North America. "Mayflower" is hawthorn flower, which indicates a new world full of hope.

  Kangxi and Cortex Moutan

  When it comes to delicious snacks made of hawthorn, Cortex Moutan is no stranger to everyone. But you know what? It also has a legendary story in the ancient military history of China, which makes future generations sit up and take notice of this ordinary snack.

  According to records, galdan, the leader of Junggar Department, one of the four Mongolian departments, led troops to annex the other three Mongolian departments, and made several invasions. Emperor Kangxi led a personal expedition to conquer galdan. At the front, in order to prevent information from leaking, the Qing army secretly wrote the information and instructions transmitted between Emperor Kangxi and the important generals in ink on the peony bark, rolled them into cylinders and delivered them by special personnel. After reading the information and secret orders, the generals and relevant personnel ate the cortex moutan and disappeared. In this regard, in March 1697, Gao Shiqi, a poet and calligrapher who fought in galdan with Kangxi, wrote a poem "Fruit List" on his way to Ningxia: "I am red, oily and thin, smooth and light, and my powder and wax are even. When the grass strikes, the military books are still gone, and the mouth is exhausted. " Gao Shiqi wrote in the poem’s self-note: "Hawthorn is boiled for it, which is as thin as paper, even and clean, and can be rolled up, so it is named fruit list, which tastes sweet and sour and quenches thirst." It is said that after reading the poem "Fruit List", Kangxi thought it was very appropriate and praised "Yi Se Yi Wei, Da Xin Da Qing".

  "Oil fist" and "powder wax" written in Gao Shiqi’s poems are famous high-quality tissue paper names in Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty respectively, which are used to describe the cortex moutan used to write intelligence secret orders. It’s not hard to imagine, on the March of camping in the wind, after eating these fruit moutan, not only will the thirsty mouth immediately produce saliva and moisten, but also the operational information and secret orders will be wiped out. At that time, the ink used for writing was mainly made of ash from burning pine trees. This kind of pine ash is also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. According to Compendium of Materia Medica, it has the effects of "stopping bleeding, generating skin and treating alloy sores". The so-called "alloy sore" means promoting the healing of wounds caused by metal knives and guns. Therefore, writing military intelligence with cortex moutan and pine ash was really wonderful at that time.

  Tasty story

  The origin of Sugar-Coated Berry

  When it comes to the most popular hawthorn food, of course, Sugar-Coated Berry is the only one. The bamboo stick wears a bunch of hawthorn, dips it in the fiercely cremated ice syrup, and when it cools naturally, it is bright red in the crystal, crunchy, sour, sweet and sticky, which is the unique winter memory of northern children.

  There is a folklore about the origin of Sugar-Coated Berry. According to legend, during the Southern Song Dynasty, after a banquet, Song Guangzong’s beloved princess suddenly got a strange disease, abdominal pain, tea and rice, and her body became thinner. In the DPRK, all the doctors believed that this was caused by physical weakness, and they used a lot of supplements, but they did not get better. In desperation, the court posted an imperial list to the society to recruit famous doctors for diagnosis and treatment. A walking doctor unveiled the list and went to the palace to treat the imperial concubine. After feeling the pulse, he said, "The imperial concubine’s illness is not serious. Just cook it with hawthorn and rock sugar, and eat five or six tablets every meal." Sure enough, the princess’s appetite gradually improved after eating, and it didn’t take long to restore her former appearance. Later, the practice of hawthorn spread to the people, and the people put it on one by one to make today’s street food — — Sugar-Coated Berry.
