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.

  [Special attention]

  On January 18th, during his visit to Myanmar, the Supreme Leader of president and Senior Minister Aung San Suu Kyi witnessed the agreement exchange ceremony of the deepwater port project in Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone, marking the transition from concept to substantive planning and construction stage of the China-Myanmar economic corridor under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative.

  Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Myanmar, the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries has been developing continuously on a long-term and close basis. China’s accumulated investment in Myanmar has reached 20.8 billion US dollars, accounting for about a quarter of Myanmar’s total foreign investment, second only to Singapore. In the field of trade, China is Myanmar’s largest trading partner, and China-Myanmar border trade accounts for nearly 80% of Myanmar’s total border trade. With the proposal of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor and the construction and operation of landmark projects along the route, the cooperation and exchange between China and Myanmar has moved to a new stage of closer cooperation. The "Belt and Road" cooperation of mutual cooperation, sharing and joint construction has promoted mutual benefit and win-win situation between the two countries.

High-level exchanges consolidate the intention of cooperation and development

  On the morning of January 18th, when the Supreme Leader of president held formal talks with Senior Minister Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar in Naypyidaw, he pointed out that the two sides should promote the five-year plan of economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, effectively align their development strategies, and implement the economic, trade and capacity cooperation between the two countries. The construction of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor is the top priority for the two sides to jointly build the "Belt and Road". The two sides have started the substantial construction of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor, and it is necessary to improve the sense of gain of the two peoples, especially the Burmese people, as soon as possible.

  In November 2017, China proposed to build a "herringbone" China-Myanmar economic corridor, starting from Yunnan, China in the north, passing through the China-Myanmar border to Mandalay in the south, and then extending to Yangon New Town and Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone in the east and west respectively, connecting the most backward areas and the most developed areas in Myanmar, and creating a large-scale cooperation pattern with three-pronged support and three pillars. As an important part of the Belt and Road Initiative, the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor has become the second time that China has proposed to establish an economic corridor with a single country after proposing the "six major economic corridors".

  In September 2018, China and Myanmar signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly build the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor, established the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor Joint Committee, and set up 12 working groups according to industries. In December of the same year, Myanmar established the "One Belt, One Road" Implementation Leading Committee, with Senior Minister Aung San Suu Kyi as the chairman and First Vice President Min Rui as the vice chairman. The members of the Committee include several federal government ministers and provincial and state chief ministers, aiming at actively promoting the construction of China-Myanmar economic corridor, deepening mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields and promoting the development of China-Myanmar comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership. On February 18, 2019, Myanmar’s "One Belt, One Road" Implementation Leading Committee held its first meeting. At the meeting, Aung San Suu Kyi, Chairman of the Committee and Senior Minister of State, said that the "One Belt, One Road" initiative not only covers infrastructure construction, but also covers a wide range of fields. Myanmar is located along the "Belt and Road", which is a beneficial opportunity for Myanmar and the whole region to participate in the "Belt and Road".

  During the second meeting of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor Joint Committee and the second China-Myanmar Economic Corridor Forum on February 21-22, 2019, China proposed 24 projects according to the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor Plan, and Myanmar agreed to speed up the work of 9 projects, including Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone, Kachin State and Shan State Border Trade Zone. In the future, the construction of China-Myanmar Economic Corridor will be coordinated with the Myanmar 2030 Sustainable Development Plan, covering electricity, roads, bridges, telecommunications and telecommunications. During the second Belt and Road International Cooperation Summit in April 2019, China and Myanmar jointly signed the Memorandum of Understanding on China-Myanmar Economic Corridor Cooperation Plan (2019-2030), the Five-year Development Plan for Economic and Trade Cooperation, and the Agreement on Economic and Technical Cooperation between Myanmar and China.

  On December 7, 2019, when Wang Yi, State Councilor and Foreign Minister, held talks with Aung San Suu Kyi, Minister of State and Foreign Affairs of Myanmar in Naypyidaw, he said that China is willing to work with Myanmar to push the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor from conceptual planning to substantive construction, and turn it into a landmark project for China and Myanmar to jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative. The two sides should carry out infrastructure interconnection in a down-to-earth manner and accelerate projects such as Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone and China-Myanmar Border Economic Cooperation Zone. Aung San Suu Kyi said that the two sides should take the opportunity of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries to strengthen high-level exchanges, jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative, develop the Myanmar-China Economic Corridor and promote pragmatic cooperation in various fields to achieve more results.

Major cooperation to release Huimin dividend

  In recent years, with the completion and commissioning of China-Myanmar landmark cooperation projects such as China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline, Leipzitang copper mine and Dagongshan nickel mine, the Myanmar government and people have gradually felt the benefits brought by the projects, and the economic and trade cooperation between China and Myanmar has reached a new level.

  China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline project includes natural gas pipeline and crude oil pipeline, with a total investment of 2.54 billion US dollars. Construction started in June 2010. The two pipelines were laid in parallel, passing through Rakhine State, Magway Province, mandalay province and Shan State in Myanmar, and entering China from Ruili City in Yunnan Province. High-quality crude oil from the international market and natural gas from Myanmar offshore pass through four provinces and states of Myanmar via the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline, and cross the China-Myanmar border to supply Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi provinces and regions. China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline project is an important energy artery in Myanmar, which not only drives local infrastructure construction, but also promotes economic development along the pipeline and improves local people’s livelihood. Since it was put into production, Myanmar has benefited from the national tax, investment dividends, road rights fees, transit fees, training funds and social and economic assistance funds generated by the project every year.

  The completion of the China-Myanmar natural gas pipeline has also brought business opportunities for Myanmar to explore the downstream natural gas market and created considerable economic benefits. The pipeline is equipped with off-take points in four stations in southern, northern and central Myanmar. At present, it transports 17 million cubic meters of natural gas every day, which greatly relieves the power shortage of local enterprises and people. As of November 30, 2019, the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline project has brought direct economic benefits of 520 million US dollars to Myanmar, and transported 24,857,500 tons of crude oil and 24,233 million cubic meters of natural gas to China.

  The Mengyu Vallebitang copper mine project is one of the landmark demonstration projects of the Belt and Road Initiative. The project is located in Mengyuwa City, Sagaing Province, northwest Myanmar, 120 kilometers away from Mandela, the second largest city in Myanmar, with a total investment of about US$ 1.065 billion. In March 2012, the foundation stone laying ceremony was held for the Leipzitang copper mine project, but since then, the project has experienced repeated shutdowns, resumption of work and further shutdowns. After the investigation and assistance of the Myanmar government, the project was successfully put into production in March 2016, with a copper output of 20,000 tons that year. Leipzitang Copper Mine is one of the largest copper hydrometallurgy projects in Asia. All kinds of equipment used are purchased globally, and the technical level, process level and management level are leading in the world. In 2019, the output of cathode copper reached 120,000 tons. According to the contract signed with Myanmar, during the construction period of the project, China will invest 1 million US dollars for the corporate social responsibility and community assistance projects in 33 nearby villages every year. After the project is put into operation, all partners will still take a certain percentage of the net profit every year to continue to provide employment and living security for local residents and contribute to the infrastructure construction around the project.

  The Dagongshan nickel industry development project of China National Nickel Industry has been deeply cultivated in Myanmar for 10 years and achieved fruitful results. Dagong Mountain is located at the junction of Mandalay and Sagaing province in northern Myanmar, which is remote and rich in nickel resources. The Dagongshan Nickel Project started construction in January, 2009, integrating mining and smelting, covering an area of 22 square kilometers, with 700,000 tons of nickel resources and a total investment of more than 820 million US dollars. It is the largest cooperation project in the mining field between China and Myanmar. Since entering the commercial production period in 2014, the Dagongshan nickel mine project has paid all kinds of taxes to Myanmar, and the product share has exceeded 100 million US dollars, which has become a project that really promotes economic development, benefits people’s livelihood and benefits the people. At the same time, it also attaches great importance to the ecological environment protection in the project production and ensures green and sustainable development.

Leading projects drive interconnection

  On the morning of January 18th, Chairman of the Supreme Leader held a formal meeting with Senior Minister Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar, pointing out that the two sides agreed to give full play to the demonstration role of Kyaukphyu project in the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor, and at the same time accelerate the construction of the China-Myanmar Border Economic Cooperation Zone and Yangon New Town, thus forming the overall layout of the north, east and west ends of the economic corridor. The two sides should make overall plans to promote interconnection projects such as roads, railways and power grids, and form a skeleton network connecting corridors as soon as possible.

  The deep-water port project in Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone has always attracted the attention of both China and Myanmar. Kyaukphyu Peninsula is located in Rakhine State in the west of Myanmar, adjacent to the Indian Ocean in the west, and the channel from the northwest end of the island to the east is an excellent natural shelter from wind and waves, which can sail and park 250,000-300,000-ton ocean-going passenger and cargo ships. Rakhine State, where Kyaukphyu is located, is remote, with weak economic foundation and backward infrastructure, so it is urgent to vigorously develop the economy. In 2015, the Bid Evaluation and Award Committee of Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone in Myanmar announced that the consortium of multinational enterprise groups in China won the bid for the industrial park and deepwater port projects in Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone. In October 2016, the Myanmar NLD government established a new Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone Management Committee. After several rounds of negotiations and communication, in November 2018, the framework agreement was successfully signed for the deepwater port project of Kyaukpyu Special Economic Zone.

  According to the agreement exchanged on January 18th, China and Myanmar will set up a joint venture company for the deepwater port project to carry out the construction and operation of the deepwater port project. Previously, in order to speed up the implementation progress, with the authorization of the Myanmar government, the environmental assessment and preliminary geological exploration of the deepwater port project have been started ahead of schedule. All the work carried out by the Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone project will follow the principles of "social humanity", "economic prosperity" and "eco-friendliness", which will promote local employment, promote economic development and attach importance to protecting the ecological environment.

  Muse-Mandalay Railway is also an important interconnection project for the construction of China-Myanmar Economic Corridor. During the second "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forum in April 2019, China submitted a feasibility report on the Muse-Mandalay railway project to Myanmar’s Minister of Transport and Communications Wu Danxin Maung. Subsequently, Myanmar Ministry of Transport and Communications, Railway Bureau and China Railway Second Hospital signed a memorandum to confirm the railway engineering survey project. Muse, bordering Yunnan, China Province, is the largest trade port gateway between China and Myanmar, and Mandalay is the second largest city in Myanmar. According to the plan, the Muse-Mandalay railway is about 421 kilometers long, and the designed train speed is about 160 kilometers per hour. Upon completion, it is expected that the Muse-Mandalay Railway will become the lifeline of China-Myanmar trade, and the fastest three-hour access between the two places will be realized. In addition, the railway is planned to pass through northern Myanmar in the future, connecting the northeastern States of India and Bangladesh.

  It is understood that Myanmar railway experts are currently reviewing the feasibility report of the Muse-Mandalay Railway and making serious decisions on the route and the exact location of bridges, tunnels and stations. If it is connected with China, Muse-Mandalay Railway will become the first international railway in Myanmar, which will better connect the railways in various regions of Myanmar and become an important link to build a complete railway transportation network.

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.

Guangdong launched the "Guangdong antigen" applet, and reported it with one click after antigen detection.

  On April 13th, the "Guangdong Antigen" applet of Covid-19 Antigen Detection Information System, which was built by Guangdong Provincial Health and Wellness Commission, was officially launched. This small program is connected with Guangdong Jiantong, Guangdong Nucleic Acid Small Program, Electronic Health Code, etc. It is used to support residents to carry out personal self-test and medical and health institutions to carry out information collection and test results reporting of patients undergoing antigen testing, forming a closed-loop management from antigen collection, testing and reporting to nucleic acid testing. It is an important means for Guangdong Province to actively respond to the requirements of the State Council to promote the monitoring mode of "antigen screening and nucleic acid diagnosis", meet the overall monitoring needs of epidemic development, prevention and control, and support the classified management and precise policy-making of epidemic prevention and control.

  Previously, the digital network of epidemic prevention and control in Guangdong Province has stood the test of several rounds of actual epidemic and achieved initial results. "Guangdong antigen" is another important component of Guangdong epidemic prevention and control digital network. It will learn from the practical experience of Guangdong nucleic acid deployment and implementation, and provide convenient and easy-to-use information services for residents and medical and health institutions in the province to carry out antigen detection.

  According to the relevant person in charge of Guangdong Provincial Health and Health Commission, on March 10th, the State Council issued the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Application Scheme of Covid-19 Antigen Detection (Trial) (hereinafter referred to as the Notice), requiring that antigen detection be added as a supplement on the basis of nucleic acid detection, promoting the monitoring mode of "antigen screening and nucleic acid diagnosis", and defining three groups of people suitable for antigen detection and corresponding detection application schemes. Compared with nucleic acid detection, antigen detection has two outstanding advantages: convenience and rapidity. It is very suitable for primary medical and health institutions that do not have the ability of nucleic acid detection in COVID-19 to carry out services, and it is also suitable for self-testing at home. Therefore, antigen detection can play an important role in early triage and rapid management of suspected population.

  To make full use of the characteristics and advantages of antigen testing, it is necessary to ensure that residents and medical and health institutions can report the testing information and results information, especially the positive results, to the local disease control and community at the first time, and to ensure that the health and health departments can find the source of infection quickly and accurately and cut off the transmission route, so as to truly play the effectiveness and role of antigen testing.

  The "Guangdong antigen" applet is built according to the above specific needs and scenarios, and it is linked with the nucleic acid detection information of Guangdong nucleic acid in the links of checking the information of the tested personnel, reporting the test results, uploading the evidence of positive results, tracking and managing, providing convenient services for the residents and medical and health institutions in the province, and implementing the expected effect of antigen detection to improve the early warning sensitivity.

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)

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.

  "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!"
