More than 40 billion yuan! 40 projects were signed in Xinyi

  On October 15th, the 17th xinyi city Economic, Trade, Investment and Hub Preference Industry Matchmaking Fair was held, with 40 contracted projects and an agreed investment of 40.096 billion yuan, six of which became hub preference industries.

  The development of "hub economy" has ushered in a great opportunity for Xinyi, which is in an important hub position, to redistribute factors such as logistics, people flow, capital flow, technology flow and information flow and to cooperate deeply in the region. Compared with the economic connotation, characteristics and development conditions of the hub, Xinyi has excellent hub conditions, "interconnected" distribution function and highly related industrial clusters. It can be said that the development of Xinyi’s hub economy has reached its potential, the time has come, and its effect has been obvious.

  Vertical and horizontal traffic

  Optimal development path of weaving

  Xinyi is unique in the conditions of county-level transportation hub in China, and various modes of transportation such as public transportation, rail transportation, water transportation, air transportation and pipe transportation are integrated, forming a seamless, convenient and efficient comprehensive three-dimensional transportation system, and the traffic conditions are few and far between in county-level cities in China. Longhai, Jiaoxin and Xinchang railway passages, Beijing-Shanghai, Lianhuo and Xinyang high-speed passages, Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, Xulian Yunhe and Xindai Canal water transport passages, Xulian, Heqing and Beijing-Shanghai double-track high-speed railway passages, meet and echo each other in Xinyi.

  At present, Xinyi has been fully integrated into the "two-hour commuting circle" in the Yangtze River Delta, and its position as an important comprehensive transportation hub at the county level is more prominent. Xinyi has three national high-speed trunk lines, six high-speed entrances and exits, and eight national provincial roads, which are ahead of county-level cities in terms of road grade and density.

  Xinyi, as the first transportation hub city in the east bridgehead of the New Eurasian Continental Bridge and the central node city along the East Longhai Economic Belt, is connected with the Yangtze River Delta and the Bohai Economic Circle on the left and right, and has the geographical advantages of opening to the east and west. It is the strategic fulcrum for Jiangsu to build the national "Belt and Road" intersection, and also an important part of building the central city of Xuzhou Huaihai Economic Zone. The foundation and conditions for developing the "hub economy" are unique.

  Various platforms

  Create the best investment highland

  Around the transportation-related industries, seven industrial platforms have been built, and the port industry, airport industry and logistics industry have been cultivated and strengthened, and industries have been concentrated by hubs, which will promote the agglomeration, reorganization, radiation and diffusion of a wider range of factor flows in Xinyi, and realize the transformation of factor "flow" into benefit "reservation".

  At present,

  ● As the first batch of multimodal transport demonstration bases in Xuzhou and the key logistics base in Jiangsu Province, Highway Port Logistics Park has settled in more than 70 logistics enterprises affiliated to Handan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Zeyi, with an operating income of about 1 billion yuan in 2018;

  ● Xinyi Port Logistics Park is actively building the inland river shipping center of the multimodal transport hub in Huaihai Economic Zone. In September, it has cooperated with Nanjing Port to open container services, which will save 300 million yuan in transportation costs for enterprises in the city every year.

  ● The International Railway Logistics Park cooperates with Shanghai Railway Bureau to build a national second-class regional railway logistics park and a container second-class node freight yard, and strives to build a smart international logistics port at the eastern end of the new Eurasian Continental Bridge;

  ● Navigation Industrial Park cooperated with AVIC Aiphreak to become one of the six major locations of the national general flight network, focusing on the development of aviation consumption, aviation logistics and aviation manufacturing industries, and became a demonstration base for Huaihai navigation industry and emerging aviation consumption;

  ● As the largest beauty storage park in China, Beauty E-commerce Park has settled in 176 e-commerce enterprises and 361 brands, with daily sales exceeding 60,000 and annual sales exceeding 3 billion yuan.

  ● As the first express logistics park in Jiangsu, the express logistics park exceeded 65 million pieces in and out of Hong Kong last year, accounting for 26% of Xuzhou’s express market share.

  Industrial pluralism

  Innovate the optimal transformation mode

  Recently, at the container terminal of Xinyi Port Phase II, two container freighters loaded with rice, glass and ceramic tiles slowly left the port and headed for Guangzhou and Enshi, Hubei respectively.

  The ultimate goal of developing hub economy and building logistics platform is to develop the industry.

  Turn hub advantage into logistics advantage, and logistics advantage into industrial advantage. Xinyi will innovate the linkage mode of hub, logistics and industry, and explore the "two-wheel drive" development road of advanced manufacturing industry and modern service industry.

  Xinyi combines resource endowment conditions and development goal orientation, based on the coupling relationship between transportation and industry, and takes advantage of high-quality and low-cost transportation to attract leading enterprises to settle in, accelerate the development of industrial chain and agglomeration, and strive to build a preferred industrial cluster area of transportation hub.

  Create a port-based industrial cluster.

  Accelerate the construction of Xinyi Port Logistics Park, actively connect with Lianyungang international hub port, free trade port area and other platforms, rely on the container shipping system of Nanjing Port, take advantage of the low cost of water transportation, form the "magnetic attraction polymerization" effect of bulk raw material industry around bulk goods such as new materials, wood and fertilizers, become the routing center of regional bulk raw material transactions, realize the co-existence of bulk raw material transactions and circulation, and build the regional trading hub of bulk raw materials in Huaihai Economic Zone.

  At present, a number of leading waterproof materials enterprises, such as Oriental Yuhong, Ruitu Building Materials and Alpha, have successively settled in Xinyi, realizing the development of port-based industrial clusters.

  Create a new type of business logistics gathering area.

  Relying on the Highway Port Logistics Park, Express Logistics Park and Beauty E-commerce Park, we will develop new retail, new logistics and new circulation formats through the linkage of online and offline resources, and jump from the tangible market to the "three new industries" to form a new development model driven by "three new".

  Actively connect with Shanghai Futures Exchange, Hong Kong Stock Exchange and Dalian and Zhengzhou Commodity Exchanges, introduce Shanghai Bailian Commodity Trading Platform and Shenzhen Qianhai Trading Center, explore the establishment of futures delivery warehouses and spot market deferred delivery platforms, form the "magnetic attraction polymerization" effect of new materials, timber, fertilizers, grain and other bulk raw materials industries, and build a regional trading hub for bulk raw materials in Huaihai Economic Zone.

  Create an airport industrial cluster.

  At present, a substantial breakthrough has been made in the development of the navigation industry, and a number of projects such as Century Aviation, Osanna General Aircraft Manufacturing, Fushida Aviation Technology and Global Wings Aviation Technology have settled in Xinyi, forming a highly competitive characteristic advantage.

  In the future, Xinyi will focus on developing aviation consumption, aviation logistics, aviation manufacturing and other navigation industries around the airport economic industrial chain, and build aviation characteristic towns with national influence.

Infrastructure projects have been launched in various places, and infrastructure investment has increased by 7.8% year-on-year. Fixed assets investment is expected to continue to rebound in the second

  CCTV News:In addition to industrial investment, infrastructure investment also maintained a rapid growth in the first half of the year, with a year-on-year increase of 7.8%. With the launch of infrastructure projects in various places, excavators, mixers and other construction machinery and equipment have also ushered in a wave of sales climax.

  Active investment in infrastructure, record sales of construction machinery and equipment.

  On this big screen of Hunan Sany Heavy Industry Workshop, we can see that 680,000 construction machinery and equipment have been networked, and 30% of them are online in real time. The data in the screen is an important window to observe the construction of infrastructure in various places. In the first half of this year, the infrastructure investment in the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the central and western regions was very active, and the sales of pump trucks reached a new high.

  In the first quarter of this year, the investment in railway fixed assets reached the highest level in nine years, and the investment amount increased by 29.3% year-on-year. Investment in air and sea hubs such as airports is also increasing. According to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics, in the first half of the year, the investment in fixed assets in the whole industry was 43.5 billion yuan, up 8.5% year-on-year. Infrastructure investment increased by 7.8% in the first half of the year. The fiery construction on the construction site confirms the trend of further economic recovery.

  In addition, the "14 th Five-Year Plan" construction drawings of comprehensive transportation development in Shanghai, Hainan, Zhejiang and other places have been released one after another, and infrastructure investment will be further increased. Experts said that under the situation of epidemic prevention and control and clearer economic prospects, fixed asset investment is expected to continue to rebound in the second half of the year.

How is the bank’s transfer limit stipulated?

The regulation of bank transfer limit and its influencing factors

In today’s financial transactions, bank transfer is a common and important operation. However, banks usually set a certain limit for transfer, which is not arbitrary, but is influenced by many factors.

First of all, from the perspective of security, banks will set transfer limits. This is to reduce the risk of fraud and the possibility of misappropriation of funds. If there is no limit, once the account information is obtained by criminals, it may lead to huge economic losses for customers.

Secondly, different transfer methods will also lead to differences in limits. For example, through online bank transfer, the general limit will be relatively high; For mobile banking transfer, the limit may be slightly lower. This is because online banking usually operates in a safer environment, while mobile banking has more uncertainties, such as lost mobile phones and unstable networks.

Furthermore, the identity of the customer and the account type will also affect the transfer limit. For example, for ordinary personal accounts and corporate accounts, banks often set different limits according to their capital flow scale and risk assessment. Generally speaking, due to the large transaction volume of funds, the transfer limit of enterprise accounts will be higher than that of ordinary personal accounts.

The following is a common sample table of bank transfer limit:

Transfer method Ordinary personal account limit Enterprise account limit online bank 50,000 yuan/day 500,000 yuan/day mobile bank 20,000 yuan/day 200,000 yuan/day Counter transfer Unlimited (advance appointment required) Unlimited (advance appointment required)

It should be noted that the limits in the above table are only examples, and the specific limits may vary from bank to bank. Customers can know the accurate transfer limit information through the bank’s official website, mobile banking application or consulting customer service.

In addition, banks will adjust the transfer limit according to changes in the market environment and regulatory policies. In some special periods, such as preventing financial risks and cracking down on money laundering, banks may temporarily reduce the transfer limit to strengthen fund supervision and ensure the stability of financial order.

In short, the bank’s transfer limit is a dynamic regulation that comprehensively considers many factors. When transferring money, customers should fully understand the relevant regulations of their bank to ensure the smooth progress of capital transactions.

Four questions raised by Chinese character table

  Ask


  How did the new 1335 words come from?


  According to the frequency of use.


  8300 words-this is the number of words included in the General Specification Chinese Characters Table. Compared with the general standard Chinese characters in 1986, it has increased by 1335 characters.


  This is the third time that Chinese characters have been standardized in New China after those in 1956 and 1986. The 1335 new words are mainly surnames, names, place names, technical terms and classical Chinese characters used in primary and secondary schools.


  The new Chinese character list divides 8300 characters into three levels according to their generality: the first-level Chinese character list receives 3500 characters, which is the most frequently used common word, mainly meeting the needs of basic education and cultural popularization. The secondary word list receives 3000 words, and the frequency of use is lower than that of the primary word. Second-class characters and first-class characters mainly meet the needs of modern Chinese text printing and publishing. There are 1800 words in the third-level word list, which are common words used in some special fields but not in the first-level and second-level word lists, and mainly meet the needs of using words in special fields closely related to public life and cultural popularization.


  It is understood that Chinese characters that can be selected into the first-and second-level word lists are determined according to their frequency of use. The experts used the data of nine huge corpora for statistics, among which the two most important corpora were the Balanced Corpus of Modern Chinese of the State Language Commission and the Dynamic Circulation Corpus of Modern News Media in beijing language and culture university, with 91 million and 350 million Chinese characters respectively.


  "Every word included in the General Specification Chinese Characters Table has a clear origin." Wang Ning, the head of the expert working group on the development of the word list and a professor at the College of Literature of Beijing Normal University, said that there are a large number of variant characters in Chinese characters. In order to ensure the standardization of Chinese characters included in the word list, the experts and scholars of the working group have searched and verified the origin and the corresponding relationship between the positive and the negative of each Chinese character.


  Second question


  “? ? ? What’s the basic treatment? He recovery


  Is to respect people’s psychology and folk customs.


  The dispute between traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters once became a hot topic in society. During the development of the word list, the problems of traditional Chinese characters recovery and analogy simplification have been discussed repeatedly. The final conclusion of the research team is that in order to maintain the stability of Chinese characters in society, the word list will not restore traditional Chinese characters in principle.


  However, in this new Chinese character list, 51 variant characters have been restored and 6 traditional characters have been adjusted.


  “? Thin? "8", "? G”、“? ?” These words were once regarded as variants or traditional characters of Pan, Tong, Xi, Xian and Ning, but few people know that they were actually surnames. Out of respect for the family tradition, these Chinese characters were reserved in the third-level Chinese character list for the first time in the General Standard Chinese Character List.


  Wang Ning with "? ?” For example, in the past, we simplified it to "line", and some people said, "I am willing to use this surname. My surname is spring, and spring water is flowing, which is auspicious." There is also "Zhe". Some people don’t want to use this word in their names because it means broken. Some people say, "Philosophical Zhe has a variant"? Foundation? , two Guido Geely. "Another example is" Miao ".Now people sometimes say that the five elements are short of water. Isn’t it good to have three waters? This involves the psychology and folklore of people using words.


  However, these variants and traditional characters cannot be used arbitrarily. Wang Ning explained that the word list is clearly defined, and these words can only be used for specific place names or surnames and names; When using characters in a general sense, you can’t write variant characters and traditional characters casually.


  Three questions


  44 fine-tuning words "tune" what


  Only for printed Chinese characters


  After the publication of the Chinese Character List of General Specification, 44 fine-tuning words immediately aroused people’s incomprehension.


  At first glance, the words "Qin, Su, Pi and Pa" are no different from those used now.


  Many people hold a modern Chinese dictionary and compare it carefully with their eyes wide open, and finally discover the elusive "mystery": originally, the last stroke of the word "Wang" on the upper left of the word "Pi", "Qin", "Pa" and "Se" turned out to be horizontal, and in the new Chinese character table, it was horizontally deformed and lifted up like the word "Wang" beside the word "ball".


  Is it necessary to regulate such a small adjustment?


  "This adjustment should not have much impact on the use of Chinese characters in the current society, because it will not change the distinctive features of confession and reading provided by each glyph, and will not have much impact on people’s lives, mainly for printing norms." Members of the development team explained.


  Originally, at present, the standard glyphs of Chinese characters are standardized in China, which is the List of Printed General Chinese Characters jointly issued by the China Character Reform Commission and the Ministry of Culture in 1965. However, due to historical reasons, this set of printed Songti glyphs is unified in general, but there are still some inconsistencies in some places, and there is still room for improvement in the stroke shape, stroke combination and whole word structure of a few glyphs. These tiny deficiencies, in the pre-computer era, because the type of each printing factory was cast with a unified copper mold, the word-using department was not easy to detect these tiny differences by vision alone; After entering the computer age, more and more units and individuals use computers to create characters, and the irregular situation of glyphs is "exposed".


  Four questions


  Can the words outside the list still be used?


  It’s best not to go beyond the scope of the word list.


  When the list of Chinese characters is published, one of the most concerned questions in online messages is: Can Chinese characters beyond 8,300 characters still be used?


  In this regard, Li Yuming, deputy director of the State Language Committee, specially explained the difference between "generality" and "standardization", emphasizing the universality of standardized Chinese characters, that is, universality in fields and high frequency of use.


  Professor Cao Xianzhuo, the chairman of the Expert Committee of the General Standard Chinese Character List, said that Chinese characters are the treasure of the Chinese nation, and if they are used well, they must be standardized. Norms bring convenience, and we should cherish this convenience. If we always emphasize ourselves, people will not know it, and it will not work.


  Chinese character lists are not legally binding, but experts suggest that it is best not to use words other than Chinese character lists when naming names, which will bring many unnecessary troubles to life. For example, the computer may not be able to print the words of the name when entering the account, saving in the bank, flying, applying for insurance, etc.


  According to reports, considering the use of Chinese characters in the mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and internationally, the Comparison Table of Simplified and Complicated Chinese Characters has been compiled to facilitate communication. A general standard Chinese character dictionary will be published to explain this word list. Experts suggest that Xinhua Dictionary and Modern Chinese Dictionary, as two important dictionaries for standardizing Chinese characters, should also follow this standard. (Reporter Dong Hongliang)


Excerpt from People’s Daily, August 13, 2009


(Editor Liu Yi)

China’s earliest foreign-related store has not hired new employees for more than 20 years: waiting to retire.

  With the impact of e-commerce, once-famous physical department stores are looking for a way out. However, along the Chang ‘an Avenue in Beijing, there is a shop like a "cultural relic" that has rarely changed for decades. This is Beijing Friendship Store, once one of the earliest foreign-related stores in China, and the first large-scale foreign-related store in New China to provide services for resident foreign guests and tourism teams.

  Nowadays, under the irradiation of rows of incandescent lamps, the three-story jewelry, jade and antique objects in Friendship Store have been displayed in glass counters for years, and it is difficult to find a customer in the huge shopping mall for a whole half day. Salespeople chat casually or play with mobile phones to kill time. Rumors about the renovation of Friendship Store have been full of twists and turns. In 2007, Stanley Ho, the richest man in Macau, announced that he would invest 4 billion yuan to completely renovate it, but the project renovation ended in vain. With the website of the Municipal Planning Commission publishing the review opinions on the design scheme of Friendship Building this year, this landmark building is expected to undergo major surgery again.

  There was no customer tag in the store for a long time, and the yellow incandescent lamp was broken by one third.

  On the afternoon of a working day, when I walked into the Friendship Store from the busy Chang ‘an Avenue, I felt a sense of crossing. At the jewelry counter on the first floor, three salespeople wearing light blue shirts and uniforms were guarding the empty store, and only one customer and salespeople were chatting about their family. Take a straight ladder from the store to the fourth floor, where fine calligraphy and painting and silk carpets are mainly sold, and only one salesman is seen on the whole floor. During the four-hour stay in the Friendship Store, the Beijing Youth Daily reporter visited this floor twice, and no customer met in the empty store.

  The traditional Chinese painting hanging on the wall is a bit dusty, and the price ranges from 1,000 yuan to several thousand yuan. As for when it was last sold, the salesman would not disclose it. If you want to inquire about the operation of the Friendship Store in recent years, the salesperson only said, "You should ask our leader and listen to the grievances of the underlings, which is useless."

  The third floor of Friendship Store mainly deals in jewelry, jade carving, gold and silver products, lacquered products, cloisonne and Four Treasures of the Study. It is not difficult to find that the teapot on the shelf is covered with a layer of ash, and the price tag of the jade pendant jade bracelet in the counter has turned yellow. Due to the large business area on this floor, there are many counters and even no salespeople on duty. If consumers just hang out, salespeople will not take the initiative to strike up a conversation. If you want to see any goods, you can call the salesman for help.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that the incandescent lamp tube at the top of this store floor was broken by at least one third, and the salespeople used the electroplated folding chairs of the last century. From the point of view of the quantity and category of goods, the third floor can be regarded as the main floor of the Friendship Store. There are six or seven salespeople here, which is much more than other floors. However, due to the scarcity of customers, salespeople either chat or play mobile phones to kill time.

  The earliest foreign-related shops in China walked down the altar with opening to the outside world.

  However, this fossil-like store, which was noble and brilliant in the past, is the common memory of old Beijingers.

  As early as May 1951, when the new China was founded, the Central Ministry of Trade established high-end consumer goods stores in five cities, namely, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenyang, to provide special supplies of scarce, tight and high-quality goods for the heads. The Friendship Store is the most unique, mainly serving foreign visitors.

  In 1964, Beijing Friendship Store opened at No.25 Donghuamen Street. At that time, the slogan of the Friendship Store was: "We want the best goods in the market; We must have the goods that are lacking in the market; We have to have what is fashionable in foreign countries! "

  As one of the earliest foreign-related stores in China, it is the first large-scale foreign-related store in New China to provide services for resident foreign guests and tourism teams. At that time, the service objects here were once limited to foreign-related personnel (including seafarers, tourists, diplomats, international students, etc.), overseas Chinese and senior cadres in People’s Republic of China (PRC); The goods sold are imported and specially supplied; Settlement methods are foreign exchange and various exchange certificates; Waiters are required to speak foreign languages, especially English and Japanese.

  If someone can buy such tight products as TV sets, watches, whisky and Coca-Cola from the friendship store with a mysterious foreign exchange certificate, it is also the capital that people showed off at that time. For the leaders of various countries visiting China, visiting the friendship store is almost a "reserved track" for them to come to China.

  Around the 1990s, after the use of foreign exchange certificates stopped, ordinary Chinese could finally enter the Friendship Store. According to the records, by 1991, China’s economic openness was greatly improved, and the Beijing Friendship Store seemed to be broken through the last line of defense overnight, completing the "complete opening" to Chinese.

  However, with China’s economic opening to the outside world and a large number of foreign retail giants swarming in, friendship stores gradually lost their way in the tide of market economy. With the intensification of Beijing’s marketization process, department stores, hypermarkets and shopping centers have begun to rise. At the same time, with the continuous relaxation of domestic monetary policy, foreign customers can spend money through UnionPay cards and other means, and Beijing Friendship Store is no longer the only choice for foreign customers to shop.

  The decline of friendship store and the prosperity of private enterprises in the same building

  Opening to the outside world is not the inevitable fate of foreign-related shops going into decline. Although there are so many stores in Friendship Store, in the same building, the second-floor silk area rented by Friendship Store and the first-floor imported supermarket in the northeast corner are thriving. In 2014, they were subletted to a private silk enterprise and an imported food supermarket respectively.

  The newly renovated second floor looks bright and fashionable, and customers are in an endless stream. Two or three shopping guides are busy greeting customers. According to one of the shopping guides, the sales in the silk area have been good, and they often don’t even have time to eat at noon when they are busy. Although there is not much publicity, there are both foreigners and many repeat customers who come here to shop. "Many foreigners come with silk. I don’t think they will go upstairs to buy things." The shopping guide said.

  Similarly, the "Jenny Wang" supermarket on the first floor is frequented by foreigners and white-collar workers nearby. This supermarket chain is quite popular in Beijing. Because it is adjacent to office buildings, embassy districts and diplomatic apartments, it has been very popular since it entered the Friendship Store in 2014.

  What makes different foreign trade enterprises in a building two worlds apart?

  Zhang Yifeng (pseudonym), 40, came to the Friendship Store in the early 1990s. Two or three years after him, there were no new people in the store. As an old employee of the three-story jewelry diamond group, he can also feel the incompatibility between the friendship store and the market environment. As for the reason, his instinctive answer is: "Why hasn’t it changed in these years? You have to ask our leader."

  In view of the present situation and future development plan of Friendship Store in recent years, the reporter of Beiqing Daily called the relevant person in charge of Friendship Store in general manager office, and got the reply that they didn’t know what was going on in the announcement posted by the Municipal Planning Commission, so they needed to ask for instructions from the leaders of Shoushang Co., Ltd. The head of the marketing department of Shoushang shares replied to the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the relevant leaders are on a business trip and need to wait until they return to Beijing to report in person.

  conversation

  "I haven’t been a newcomer for more than 20 years, and I have been waiting to retire."

  Dialogue with Zhang Yifeng (pseudonym), counter salesperson of Friendship Store

  Beiqing Daily: There are obviously more salespeople in the Friendship Store than customers. As a state-owned enterprise, do you have any task indicators? What’s the current situation of goods purchase?

  Zhang Yifeng: It’s normal to have fewer people. There are sales tasks, but there is nothing you can do if you can’t finish them. The business market environment is like this, and it is not easy for all families to do it. Three or four years ago, the jewelry industry was not bad. Now, with the change of social environment, there are fewer people giving gifts, and the management mode of jewelry and jadeite has also changed to the private management mode of Wechat business and Studio. The impact from the market is certain.

  A few years ago, I went on business trips two or three times a year and went to the south to attend the order fair, but I haven’t been out again in the past five years and I haven’t bought any new goods. Because our purchase procedures need to be approved at different levels, but the market purchase price was relatively high five years ago, and we didn’t dare to purchase at that time. These old models have been sold until now.

  Some of the relationships between consignment and joint venture manufacturers are left over by my master’s generation. They started from the Friendship Store in those days, and now manufacturers will exchange goods from time to time, but it is not long before the latest designs are sent to the Friendship Store.

  Beiqing Daily: Did you catch up with the glory of Friendship Store?

  Zhang Yifeng: I came after graduating from technical secondary school in the early 1990s. At that time, the employment distribution was not very good, and I was assigned here because I studied hard. At that time, it was said to train talents for the transformation of friendship stores, but this training has been cultivated for more than 20 years.

  My master retired early, and I can say that I caught up with the tail of the friendship store during its boom. When I first came here, I earned a little more money than outside, but many students who came in the same period left. By about 1993, there were no new people in the Friendship Store. In the past, there were more than 20 people in a commodity group, but later they left and retired. Now there are only more than 20 people in a department.

  Beiqing Daily: Who are the customers of Friendship Store now?

  Zhang Yifeng: Actually, there are friendship stores in every province and city, including Guangzhou and Shanghai. Each business model is different, but what they have in common is that they are not well developed. Now the Friendship Store in Beijing is a group of old customers in China, and few foreigners come. What we have here is genuine and the price is reasonable. There are a group of people who like to visit old brands regularly, but young people certainly don’t catch a cold. Generally, they turn around and leave.

  At the beginning of the year, we also sold a large amount of four or five hundred thousand jewels and jade articles, and customers came to see them several times. Generally, we will serve such customers collectively, some are responsible for introducing, some are responsible for making lists and packaging, and some ask the leaders for discounts.

  Beiqing Daily: In such a depressed working environment, are employees content with the status quo? What is your goal?

  Zhang Yifeng: My goal is to wait for retirement. I have been struggling for so many years. In the past few years, some young people left their jobs and changed careers. Some people are developing well, but for me, they are just waiting for retirement. Maybe it is not easy to arrange after the transformation, and there are opportunities for retirement, so I will look at it then.

  The salary paid by the company now is definitely not enough for the current price situation, but our colleagues don’t talk about money, no one talks about it, everyone talks about a variety of things, and some lesbians can talk about it.

  progress

  "Grow a Face" as the Friendship Building

  Friendship Store, as a holding subsidiary of Xidan Shopping Mall Co., Ltd., has reversed the time to July 5, 2006, when Beijing Xidan Friendship Group signed a contract with Cuili International Co., Ltd., and the design drawings and models of the renovated Friendship Store were also released at the same time. Both parties will invest 4 billion yuan to rebuild the Friendship Store into another business building and facility cluster in CBD area. The boss of Cuili International is Stanley Ho, who is known as the "gambling king of Macau".

  Liu Xiuling, then general manager of Beijing Xidan Friendship Group, introduced in an interview with the media that the reconstruction project of Friendship Store will be officially launched at the end of 2006 and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2009. "Xiyou Group is mainly responsible for the land used for this project, while Cuili Company is mainly responsible for the arrangement of construction funds for this project". Stanley Ho, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Cuili International Co., Ltd., said that the two partners will spend 4 billion yuan to build an Australian-designed comprehensive building integrating office buildings, apartments and large shopping malls on the original site of Friendship Store, in which the shopping mall occupies 8 floors (6 floors above ground and 2 floors underground) and the office building occupies 21 floors. The completed building will be jointly operated by both parties.

  But this project has never been implemented. Beijing real estate industry has revealed to the media that the reason for the stagnation of the project is in the approval process. Some employees of PTW China, who participated in the design of the new Friendship Building, revealed that the project failed to start because of the contractual disputes between the partners. The friendship reconstruction project had another signing partner earlier, and the gambling king intervened before the contract ended. There are still some disputes between the two companies.

  There are rumors in the industry that the loss of Friendship Store began in 2003, amounting to tens of millions. According to reports, Friendship Store hopes to attract more tourists by introducing "fresh blood", so it introduced Da Vinci Home in July 2010. An internal employee of the Friendship Store also confirmed that the project was indeed stranded because of a dispute and going to court. He revealed that the Friendship Store has been losing money year after year. Because many merchants are worried that the Friendship Store will be demolished at any time after signing the contract, they dare not sign a longer contract, which eventually leads to the shortage of goods in the Friendship Store, which seriously affects the existing operation.

  In 2011, Beijing Shoushang Group Co., Ltd. was officially unveiled after the reorganization of Xidan Shopping Mall and Xinyansha Group. Before the reorganization, the old department stores such as Xidan Shopping Mall and Friendship Store owned by Xidan Shopping Mall Co., Ltd. were placed under the management of Shoushang Group.

  The fate of Friendship Store is expected to change again. On July 23rd this year, the website of Beijing Municipal Planning Commission published the review opinions on the design scheme of Friendship Building project. The Beijing Friendship Store, which has only four floors, will change its face, and it will be upgraded to 11 floors. According to the design plan, Friendship Store will be built into Beijing Friendship Building, with a building height of 159.5 meters and a project valuation of 1.935 billion yuan. Its building functions include office, business and apartment, and it is a large-scale commercial facility along Chang ‘an Avenue. The construction period (planning) is from September 2016 to January 2019.

  In March this year, the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission issued a document saying that after research, it agreed that Beijing Friendship Real Estate Co., Ltd. would continue to develop and build the Beijing Friendship Building project. The total land area of the project is about 1.78 hectares, the building scale is 260,000 square meters, the building height is 159.5 meters, and the green space rate is 20%. The building functions include offices, businesses and apartments.

  This information indicates that the Friendship Store is expected to change its face again. In the interview, the reporter of Beiqing Daily found that many internal employees of the Friendship Store did not know about this matter, while Zhang Yifeng revealed that some subtle changes could really be felt from the recent speech of the superior leaders. "Maybe it is really necessary to demolish and renovate this time!"

Business investment is shrinking. This year, the US economic growth will slow down or become a foregone conclusion.

  A recent survey shows that the economic confidence of small businesses in the United States has dropped to a seven-year low, and the investment of American enterprises has also shrunk. In addition, many indicators such as the recession of American manufacturing industry and the decline of consumer confidence have once again sounded the alarm for the American economy. According to the analysis, due to the impact of trade policy and its uncertainty on the US economy, and the stimulating effect of tax reduction policy has basically disappeared, the US economic growth will slow down or become a foregone conclusion this year.

  Business confidence dropped to the lowest level in seven years.

  On Monday, local time, a monthly survey of more than 670 small businesses nationwide by American polling agencies showed that the economic confidence of small businesses fell to the lowest level since November 2012 in August. The proportion of respondents who expect the economy to deteriorate in the next 12 months will rise to 40%, compared with 29% in July and 23% a year ago.

  According to a survey conducted by Vistage Worldwide, an American executive training institution, 45% of small businesses said that the current US trade policy would affect their business. The analysis holds that the uncertainty of American trade policy increases the cost and uncertainty of small enterprises, which will make their production planning very difficult, damage their business and reduce their expectations of the American economy. Richard, an economist at the University of Michigan, analyzed Vistage’s data and said: "For small companies, this means being more cautious in investment and recruitment plans."

  Last week, the data of the monthly rate of durable goods orders in July released by the United States showed that the initial value of the monthly rate of orders was actually announced by 2.1%, but the initial value of the monthly rate of transportation durable goods orders was actually announced by -0.4% in July, which showed that the US shipments in July showed the biggest decline in the past three years. Overall business investment declined in the second quarter of this year, which was the first time since the first quarter of 2016. Some analysts worry that the chain effect may become more and more obvious. In the short term, the company will reduce recruitment, which in turn will damage consumer confidence, and in the long run, it may affect productivity growth.

  Another report released by the Chicago Fed last week also reinforced the expectation of slowing economic growth. According to the report, the US economic activity index dropped to -0.36 in July from 0.03 in June. According to the Chicago Fed, negative readings are usually accompanied by below-average economic growth. The Chicago Fed’s economic activity index turned negative, and the corporate investment released by the US Department of Commerce showed signs of shrinking in July, all indicating that the uncertainty of trade has penetrated into the real economic activities in the United States.

  Lydia Boussour, a senior American analyst at Oxford Economic Research Institute, said that the expectation that corporate investment confidence will shrink will not change. Although corporate spending on equipment has increased, weak corporate investment and idle inventory will drag down US manufacturing and GDP data. In the next few months, the tightening financial environment, increasing trade uncertainty and deteriorating global economic growth will put pressure on investment decision-making and make the already fragile investment prospects of enterprises face further downside risks.

  Economic recession signals are frequent.

  According to the latest statistics released by IHS Market on August 22nd, the purchasing managers’ index (PMI) of American manufacturing industry fell to 49.9 in August, which was the first time that it fell below 50 threshold in ten years. Because manufacturing PMI is a key economic indicator to measure the expansion and contraction of a country’s manufacturing industry, it shows that the manufacturing PMI of the United States has entered a shrinking state for the first time in the past decade, and it also adds new warning to the American economy that has frequently warned of recession recently.

  Lise Sunders, chief investment strategist of charles schwab Company in the United States, said that because the trend of manufacturing industry is ahead of consumption and other fields, she predicted that the prospect of manufacturing industry in the United States is likely to continue to deteriorate, and the weak momentum is likely to spread to the service industry in the United States. The data released by IHS Market Company on the same day also showed that the PMI of the US service industry dropped sharply from 53 in July to 50.9 in August, a three-month low. Michael Kantor Rowitz, chief investment strategist of Cornerstone Macro, warned: "When the PMI of the service industry falls below 50, the recession will come." Ian Shepardson, chief economist of Pantheon Macroeconomics Research Company, believes that the manufacturing industry accounts for only about 12% of the current American economy, so the recession of manufacturing industry alone is not enough to drag the American economy into recession. However, it is worth worrying that once the weak momentum of manufacturing spreads to the service industry, the risk of economic recession in the United States will greatly increase.

  Moreover, concerns about the macroeconomic situation and financial markets have begun to affect the future consumption expectations of American consumers. According to the latest data, the consumer confidence index of the American Chamber of Commerce in August dropped from 135.8 last month to 135.1, and the consumer expectation index dropped from 112 to 107. According to data released by the University of Michigan recently, the consumer confidence index of the United States dropped from 98.4 last month to 89.8, the biggest monthly decline since December 2012. The analysis pointed out that since August, American consumer confidence has suffered a heavy setback, which has brought more hidden worries to the slowing American economy.

  Personal consumption expenditure accounts for about 70% of the U.S. economy, which is the main engine driving the U.S. economic growth and the key pillar for maintaining the stability of the U.S. market confidence. However, the analysis pointed out that the US trade policy has repeatedly led to the reduction of consumer spending in the United States, and consumer confidence is being eroded. Now this impetus is gradually weakening, and the negative impact on the American economy is self-evident. In addition, some recent data show that the growth rate of personal income in the United States shows signs of slowing down. According to data from the U.S. Department of Commerce, personal income in the United States increased by 0.1% in July, the smallest increase since September last year, and significantly slower than the growth rate of 0.5% in June. In addition, personal savings also fell from 1.32 trillion US dollars in June to 1.27 trillion US dollars, the lowest level since November 2018. This also makes analysts more worried about the US consumption prospects in the coming months.

  Slow growth or a foregone conclusion

  According to the revised data released by the US Department of Commerce recently, the real gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States increased by 2% at an annual rate in the second quarter of this year, which was 0.1 percentage point lower than the first estimated data previously released. Analysts believe that due to the impact of trade policy and its uncertainty on the US economy, and the stimulating effect of tax cuts has basically disappeared, the US economic growth will slow down or become a foregone conclusion this year. It is estimated that the annual growth rate will be about 2.5%, which is lower than the 3% growth target set by the government.

  Ratner, a former adviser to the US Treasury Department, pointed out that there are growing concerns about the US economy or falling into recession. Although the U.S. government mainly blamed the economic slowdown on the Fed’s interest rate hike, in fact, the Fed’s interest rate hike is not large and interest rates are still at an extremely low level in history.

  He believes that the obvious slowdown in US economic growth is largely due to US trade policy. Worried about the prospects of economic growth, the capital investment of American enterprises has stopped growing, and even declined slightly recently. In particular, the output of the manufacturing industry has been falling and falling into a technical recession, which shows that business confidence is weakening. Ratner also quoted JPMorgan Chase’s forecast that the gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States may increase by only 1.8% in 2019. In addition, according to Reuters’s recent survey of private economists, the median forecast of American economy falling into recession in the next two years is as high as 45%.

A residential area in Hangzhou paid a dividend of 1.2 million yuan to the owners. Expert interpretation: A total of some proceeds belong to the owners’ property and cannot be moved.

CCTV News:Recently, a community Committee in Hangzhou is going to pay 1.2 million yuan to pay dividends to the owners. According to the industry committee, this 1.2 million yuan belongs to operational income, which is part of the community, and should be taken from the people.

This is the community that pays out 1.2 million yuan for dividends. The community was delivered in 2014, with good greening and hardware conditions, with 1041 households. Wang Jianshun, the director of the community industry committee, said that the 1.2 million yuan is part of operational income owned by the community owners.

Wang Jianshun, Director of Yipin Community Committee of Yuhang Kangcheng, Hangzhou, Zhejiang:Our income mainly comes from the rent of shops, and according to the regulations of Hangzhou on building management, 10% of the supporting parking spaces, part of which is the rent of underground parking spaces.

After sorting out the financial revenue and expenditure from January to October, the industry Committee found that there was still a balance of more than 1.38 million yuan, so I had the idea of paying dividends to everyone.

Wang Jianshun, Director of Yipin Community Committee of Yuhang Kangcheng, Hangzhou, Zhejiang:First, let more owners know their own interests and participate more in the affairs management of the community. Second, let more industry committees have trust with the owners to avoid some bad things happening in the funds of the industry committees.

Wang Jianshun said that there are still more than 20 million unused property maintenance funds in the community, and they will have more than 600,000 yuan in income in the first half of next year. The industry committee issued a total of 1006 questionnaires, among which 91% of the owners supported dividends.

At present, the industry committee has completed the preparation of dividends, and will listen to the opinions of relevant departments before issuing them.

Expert interpretation: A total of some proceeds belong to the owner’s property and cannot be moved.

Nowadays, many communities have some income, such as advertisements in public areas, parking spaces, etc., but not most of them pay dividends to the owners. What’s more, the owners don’t know about the money, and they can’t control it. In view of this situation, legal experts said that some of the proceeds in the community belong to the owners and the property cannot be moved.

Lou Jianbo, a professor at Peking University Law School:A community is composed of the exclusive parts of each owner and the common parts of the owners. Of course, the profits generated by the common part in the operation process should belong to the property owners, that is, the majority of owners. The property management company is only entrusted by the owners to manage and maintain the public parts for the owners, and the property management company should not obtain this income.

Experts also pointed out that in order to avoid this part of the money being occupied by the property company, the community needs to set up an owners’ meeting that can represent and safeguard the owners’ rights and interests, and should also specify the ownership of this part of operational income in the property management service contract signed by all owners and the property company.

Lou Jianbo, a professor at Peking University Law School:There should be a provision in the property management contract that the income and expenses generated by the operation of the property management company should be reported to the owner, and how to use it after eliminating the necessary costs should be decided by the owner.

Experts also pointed out that according to the Property Management Regulations, this money should be used to supplement the special maintenance funds of the community. If there is a balance in the special maintenance funds, it can also be used for other purposes such as dividends to the owners, but the consent of most owners must be obtained.

Community "dividend" industry Committee is the key

Living in the community, and getting dividends. This windfall, no matter how big or small, is a surprise to the owners. But behind the surprise, there are still questions. Community dividends, are these all other people’s communities? What is the premise of community dividend? Is the practice of this community in Hangzhou reproducible? In fact, these questions have long been answered in law. According to the relevant provisions of the Property Law and the Property Management Regulations, the owner has two ownership rights in the community. One is the exclusive ownership of the house purchased by oneself. Another shared ownership of roads, external walls, elevators and other public facilities in the community. The income from joint ownership is a considerable income in a well-run community. The industry Committee has the right to control this income. The problem is that it is very difficult for owners to organize fragmented owners and set up industry committees in reality. The proportion of establishing industry committees in residential areas in China is still relatively low. It is a good intention for the owners to pay dividends and manage the community well, but the industry Committee is not perfect, which leads to many rights that cannot be exercised and realized. It will not be a case for owners to get "dividends" by setting up industry committees, supporting industry committees and doing a good job of autonomy in community affairs.

Huawei’s most critical thing this year is exposed! Pura 70 also has new news.

  In 2024, the focus of Huawei’s work is to produce more grain, during which its key strategy is to promote comprehensive intelligence. So, what is the most critical thing for Huawei in 2024?

  

Image from Times Financial Gallery

  At the Huawei analyst conference held recently, Xu Zhijun, vice chairman and rotating chairman of Huawei, revealed that the most critical thing for Huawei in 2024 is to build a native application ecosystem in HarmonyOS.

  At the same time, Huawei Pura 70 series, which was officially launched on April 18th, also has new news. According to many interviews with reporters from Securities Times E Company, Huawei Pura 70 series is relatively well stocked, so at present, most offline channels can buy Pura 70 series in stock, except for a few versions, and generally there is no need to increase the price.

  "The Road to Development in HarmonyOS" was exposed.

  On April 18th, Huawei official website made public the full text of Xu Zhijun’s speech at the Huawei analyst conference, which thoroughly revealed the most critical events of Huawei in 2024.

  Xu Zhijun said that ecology is very important for Huawei’s industrial development. Huawei has made a decision to invest heavily in the development of ecology in 2024 and the next five years, and to promote and drive the development of terminal industries and computing industries through ecological development.

  "The first is to build a native application ecosystem in HarmonyOS, which is the most critical thing for Huawei in 2024." Xu Zhijun said that in the past, HarmonyOS’s operating system mostly adapted to various terminal devices in the south, but it still shared the application ecology of Android in the application in the north. Huawei hopes to fully migrate 5,000 applications that have been used on smartphones for more than 99% of the time to HarmonyOS’s native operating system in 2024, so as to truly realize the unification of operating system and application ecology.

  Xu Zhijun introduced that among the more than 5,000 applications, more than 4,000 applications have defined their migration plans, and less than 1,000 applications are communicating.

  "This migration volume is huge. When we migrated these 5,000 applications and thousands of other applications from the Android ecosystem to the HarmonyOS operating system, our HarmonyOS operating system was truly built and truly became the third mobile operating system in the world besides Apple iOS and Google Android. We will first build HarmonyOS’s operational application ecology based on the China market, and promote it country by country in the future and gradually push it to the world. " Xu Zhijun said.

  HarmonyOS was released in August 2019. From June 2021, HarmonyOS 2.0 was officially used in mobile phones and other consumer terminals. In July 2022, HarmonyOS 3.0 was launched, and in August 2023, HarmonyOS 4.0 was launched.

  On January 18th, 2024, Huawei announced that the developer preview of HarmonyOS NEXT HarmonyOS Xinghe Edition was open to developers. According to Huawei’s plan, HarmonyOS NEXT HarmonyOS Xinghe Edition is expected to release a developer Beta in the second quarter of 2024 and a consumer-oriented commercial version (native HarmonyOS commercial version) in the fourth quarter.

  On April 18th, Huawei’s native HarmonyOS made new progress. On the same day, dozens of partners such as One Shenzhen, Direct News, Bee Assistant, Express 100, Cloud Home, Kaisi, Caixun, Kaidishi, Zhumang Partner, Yika, etc. signed contracts with Huawei to reach HarmonyOS cooperation. At the same time, shenzhen tong, Firerabbit, southern fund, Lanling KK, Miyi, Private Paipai.com, Caregiver, Xiaohua Wallet, Gelonghui.

  "We expect that when Mate70 is sold this year, we can go public with’ pure blood’ HarmonyOS, which is also the goal of our efforts." Xu Zhijun bluntly said.

  The supply chain has changed completely.

  In addition, in terms of ecological creation, Xu Zhijun also said that efforts will be made to create a Kunpeng ecology and a rising ecology.

  Kunpeng Ecology refers to the industrial ecology built by Huawei around Kunpeng Chip, which is mainly used in general computing and server fields, while Shengpeng Ecology is the industrial ecology built by Huawei around Shengteng Chip, which is mainly used in artificial intelligence field.

  Xu Zhijun said that Huawei opened the general computing operating system openEuler in 2019, and then opened the database openGauss in 2020. After several years’ efforts, more than 75% of application software in China has been able to run on Kunpeng processor. After several years’ efforts, it is expected that all application software in China can run on both X86 processors and Kunpeng processors.

  As for Ascension, Xu Zhijun said that building Ascension Ecology is the key to Huawei’s development of artificial intelligence. Over the years, Huawei has been building a rising ecology around the rising processor, CANN and MindSpore, and has made great progress with the efforts of the whole industry. I hope that in the future, based on CANN and MindSpore, enterprises and developers can train all large models and complete all the reasoning work.

  Xu Zhijun also revealed that for all developers of Kunpeng, Shengteng and HarmonyOS Ecology, Huawei will build a unified developer platform based on Huawei Cloud, giving developers a unified entrance and allowing developers to move freely in these three ecosystems. Based on the construction of these ecosystems, Huawei will be able to provide a second choice for the world computing field and a third mobile operating system for the world.

  It is worth mentioning that Xu Zhijun also mentioned in his speech that in 2024, Huawei will persist in winning by quality and achieve high-quality development. "No matter how the world changes, only high quality is the key for Huawei to continue to move towards the future, because our supply chain has undergone a thorough change, so we must extend quality requirements and quality management to suppliers, channels and partners to promote the common progress of the industrial chain."

  In addition, Xu Zhijun also revealed that in 2024, Huawei will continue to optimize its industrial mix and enhance its development resilience. In his view, at present, Huawei has built a strong and resilient industrial portfolio, thus laying a solid foundation for the company’s sustainable survival and development. Among these industries, there are traditional advantageous industries, such as the communication industry in ICT infrastructure; There are also pioneering industries such as the AI computing industry in ICT infrastructure; There are both stable and fast-growing industries; There are industries that rely on advanced technology and industries that do not rely on advanced technology, such as digital energy; There are hardware-led industries and software-led industries.

  Pura 70 is relatively well stocked

  On the other hand, the Pura 70 series, which was just launched yesterday, also has new news.

  It is understood that last year, after the launch of Huawei Mate 60 series, the supply has been in short supply. This aspect is related to the production capacity of Huawei’s core components, and on the other hand, it is also related to Huawei’s insufficient stocking.

  Unlike the Mate 60 series, the Pura 70 series is relatively well stocked.

  On the morning of April 18th, after the launch of Pura 70 series, a person in charge of Huawei Experience Store told the reporter of Securities Times E Company that the intended users can buy the spot when they arrive at the store on the same day. However, due to the hot on-site sales, it may take a certain queuing time to pick up the goods on site, and at the same time, some models may be in short supply, and it will take a certain time to pick up the goods after booking. Of course, the sales intensity of each store is different, and the queuing situation is also different.

  Up to now, many Huawei users have told reporters that they bought Huawei Pura 70 on April 18 and got the spot.

  However, why was Huawei’s official website Pura 70 sold in less than one minute yesterday, and all major e-commerce platforms have shown that Pura 70 Ultra and Pura 70 Pro have been sold out?

  In this regard, insiders revealed to reporters that this may be due to Huawei’s different policies for online and offline channels of Pura 70 series. "It is estimated that it will be more inclined to the offline, because there is a powder absorption effect offline, and Huawei needs to support the development of Huawei’s distribution system."

  According to reports, a channel insider revealed to the media: "According to our research, Huawei Pura 70 series mobile phones have more channel stocking than Mate 60 series. At present, the total channel stocking has reached 14 million to 15 million units."

  Huawei Pura 70 series includes four models: Pura 70 Standard Edition, Pura 70 Pro, Pura 70 Pro+ and Pura 70 Ultra, with retail prices starting from 5499 yuan, 6499 yuan, 7999 yuan and 9999 yuan respectively.

  Different from other models, the camera module of Pura 70 series adopts triangular camera island design. At the same time, the Ultra version is equipped with a 1-inch sensor and a rotating telescopic lens. This is the first time Huawei has tried a telescopic lens on a mobile phone, realizing the functional differentiation and the leap of product strength.

How are the Terracotta Warriors made? Listen to experts solve many puzzles.

Experts simulate the restoration of Qin Terracotta Warriors and understand the research and production technology and technology.

Details of simulated restoration of Terracotta Warriors and Horses

  How are the tall terracotta warriors and horses shaped? How big a kiln does it take to fire clay figurines? Where does the clay for making pottery figurines come from? On October 11th, the reporter learned from the research group of Qin Terracotta Warriors’ production technology and process simulation restoration that experts have solved many puzzles of terracotta warriors’ production through simulation restoration.

  Where does a lot of clay come from?

  The statement of "using local materials" is a bit one-sided

  This year marks the 45th anniversary of the discovery of Terracotta Warriors and Horses. The terracotta figures unearthed from the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor cover many types, such as the army, dancing, swearing and ceremonial ceremonies. It is possible to find that there are more than 10,000 pieces of pottery figurines, and making these life-size pottery figurines must require a lot of pottery clay, but where these clay come from has been a problem that has puzzled the academic community for many years.

  Zhang Weixing, the leader of the research group on the simulation and restoration of Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses, said: "According to the general theory of ancient pottery making, the clay used for pottery making is generally made from local materials. Traditionally, it is believed that the terracotta warriors and horses clay came from nearby areas, but whether the terracotta warriors and horses clay was taken from around their burial pits or from a concentrated area of the Qinling Mountains, because archaeology has not found large-scale traces of soil mining near the mausoleum area, it is impossible to get an exact scientific conclusion. "

  Since last year, the research group has collected a lot of soil samples around the Qin Mausoleum by the method of simulated restoration, and found that no matter pure loess, loessial soil derived from loess, brown laterite or backfill soil in the rumored pit of terracotta warriors and horses, they can’t be directly made into clay figurines due to problems such as strength, hardness and adhesion, and the soil composition is not in good agreement with the composition of terracotta warriors and horses. Later, after repeated experiments, it was found that only the loam and brown laterite collected from the stratum of Qin Dynasty were prefabricated and mixed with about 20% sand to reach the standard of making clay adobe, and the composition of the fired pottery figurines was the closest to that of the real Qin figurines.

  Zhang Weixing believes that the construction of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor has strict organization and planning. When making clay figurines on a large scale, the selection and preparation of soil must be a large-scale professional behavior of national professional institutions, and it is very likely that the craftsmen who collect soil in a unified way, store it in a centralized way and then distribute it to the government for unified production. Each craftsman and his team choose different admixture and production technology according to the pottery figurines they need to produce. Imagine that it is not impossible for this systematic national project to uniformly allocate a large amount of clay from Xianyang area or even the wider Guanzhong area and even the whole country.

  Although the source of a large number of clay has not been completely determined, the research group is sure that the past statement of "using local materials" is a bit one-sided. Zhang Weixing said: "The research on the source of clay should stand at the height of national engineering and expand the scope of research."

  Are the Terracotta Warriors made by foreigners?

  It is a fine sculpture of Qin people.

  Because of its highly realistic production skills, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are in sharp contrast with the way that the pottery figurines of other dynasties in ancient China are more expressive. Therefore, experts at home and abroad have suggested that the shaping of Terracotta Warriors and Horses may draw lessons from foreign sculpture techniques, and there are even legends that Terracotta Warriors and Horses are made by foreigners. In this regard, the conclusion given by the research group after research is — — The Terracotta Warriors and Horses used the traditional crafts of China, and it was a fine sculpture of the Qin people themselves.

  Sun Wei, a member of the research group, graduated from the Sculpture Department of Xi ‘an Academy of Fine Arts and has many years of experience in sculpture production. However, in this simulation restoration study, his past professional knowledge was subverted again and again. He said: "Western sculptures and our modern sculptures, when making such large-scale works, should put up shelves to support the center of gravity and outline of the large-scale works. But the terracotta warriors and horses are hollow, and no traces of shelves have been found at all. How was it molded? "

  This problem puzzled Sun Wei for a long time, until one day, he found fingerprints and traces of clay strips on a piece of terracotta warriors and horses that had not been repaired, so he tried to simulate the terracotta warriors and horses by using the clay strips used in pottery making in Shang and Zhou Dynasties in China. After prefabrication, repeated beating and mud awakening, the selected clay was rubbed into mud strips slightly thicker than the thumb by Sun Wei, and slowly rolled up one by one, because he had to constantly adjust the center of gravity and reinforce the mud strips. At first, he could only roll 40 cm high a day.

  "It is difficult to find the center of gravity. In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, pottery made by this method was limited to small round or square vessels, but if the center of gravity was not found, it would collapse." Sun Wei said. In the process of finding the center of gravity of pottery figurines, Sun Wei found that the best way to use it was to imitate the posture of the figurines. Where the center of gravity of the human body is, the center of gravity of the figurines is there. Later, he built six terracotta warriors and horses in different shapes by using the method of clay strips. Many fingerprints that appeared in different positions in the terracotta warriors and horses in the past represented what they meant, and they were suddenly enlightened by finding the right production method.

  "Experiments have proved that those fingerprints actually have no special significance, that is, they were left behind by craftsmen who forgot or couldn’t reach the details at the end of production. The successful production of these six terracotta figures shows that Qin people had the ability and method to shape large-scale terracotta figures at that time. Terracotta Warriors and Horses were the fine sculptures of Chinese in the Qin Dynasty. " Sun Wei said.

  How big a kiln does it take to burn terracotta warriors and horses?

  The height of the inner diameter of the pottery kiln should be more than 2m.

  Terracotta Warriors and Horses belong to large-scale sculpture-fired works of art, and the basic process of making Terracotta Warriors and Horses is hand-molding, then firing in the kiln, and painting on the surface after the utensils are cooled down. The research group believes that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are all local products in China in terms of production technology, materials and concepts. It not only inherited the tradition and technology of pottery making in the pre-Qin period, but also influenced the Han Dynasty and even later times.

  The firing of terracotta warriors and horses should be different from that of traditional pottery and building components. However, for many years, the pottery kiln for firing terracotta warriors and horses has not been found in archaeology, which urges scholars to change their thinking and consider whether a large number of small pottery kilns can also complete the firing task.

  Four of the six clay figurines made by the research group by simulating the Qin Dynasty process have been fired, and the effect is highly similar to that of Qin Terracotta Warriors. In the process of simulated firing, the research group found many kilns, but they couldn’t complete the task because they didn’t meet the firing conditions. Later, they found a slightly larger kiln, put four clay figurines in it and fired them together. At the high temperature of 1000℃, it took a whole week for these four clay figurines to become "real terracotta warriors and horses". Therefore, the research group determined that the temperature of firing terracotta warriors and horses should be around 1000℃, and the time should be at least one week, and the height of the inner diameter of the pottery kiln for firing terracotta warriors and horses should be at least 2 meters, so that the complete terracotta warriors and horses can be fired.

  However, large-scale pottery kilns have not been found around Lintong. Where were these pottery figurines fired in the past? Zhang Weixing said: "This is very similar to where to borrow soil, so we think that the study of Terracotta Warriors and Horses should be broken ‘ Local materials and local firing ’ The traditional concept, put it in a larger perspective to consider. "

  It is understood that the experiment of the research group is still in progress. In the next step, they will conduct a simulation experiment on painting and painting. Maybe the experts will find the answers one by one on the ratio of painting pigments, painting technology and mineral sources. (Text/Reporter Zhang Jia Figure/Reporter Zhang Yuming)
