Investigation on network rumors related to epidemic disease: rumors still come back after rumors, and rumors make money by drainage.

  Investigation motive

  "Delta Omicron Co-circulation", "Six Yangkang tourists in a scenic spot died of heart failure", "Beijing tap water is sunny" and "Express delivery industry closed on January 8 due to epidemic situation" … … For some time, there have been rumors about the epidemic-related network, distorting the national epidemic prevention policy, dispelling the people’s confidence in fighting the epidemic, seriously endangering social stability, and the people hate it.

  Recently, the Central Network Information Office reported typical cases of epidemic rumors. The relevant person in charge said that it will continue to resolutely crack down on rumors and rumors, and strictly investigate and deal with account subjects who publish rumors. At the same time, relevant departments and netizens are welcome to actively participate in reporting, provide relevant clues, and work together to eradicate online rumors. Living soil.

  Why are epidemic-related rumors repeatedly banned, why do some rumors come back after rumors, and how to effectively rectify and purify cyberspace? With these questions, the reporter conducted an in-depth investigation and interview.

  □ Our reporter Zhang Shoukun Wen Lijuan

  "Yangkang is not equal to health. Yesterday, several people died in Laojunding skiing, all of them were Yangkang, and suddenly they suffered from heart failure after strenuous exercise." Recently, the net spread "Qinhuangdao Laojunding Scenic Area ‘ Yangkang ’ The information that 6 tourists died of heart failure has attracted attention. After investigation, the news was false information. At present, the rumored woman Ma has been administratively detained by the police.

  From "killing the whole city tonight" to "increasing chlorine injection into tap water", from "nucleic acid sampling is toxic" to "mask raw materials will cause pulmonary nodules", from "a positive man is transferred by crane" to "a container is used to operate a positive patient somewhere", from "the tap water will spread the virus" to "you can choose a mild strain to infect and produce antibodies" … …

  In the investigation, the reporter of "Rule of Law Daily" found that every once in a while, all kinds of epidemic-related rumors circulating on the Internet will be "updated". Some of them deliberately misinterpret and fabricate epidemic prevention policies, and some carry out pseudo-popular science under the guise of science. Because they are related to the epidemic situation, these rumors can easily attract people’s attention and get a lot of attention and forwarding, which leads to many people’s doubts, anxiety, panic and other emotions, and even interferes with the normal epidemic prevention and control work.

  A number of interviewed experts said that to rectify online rumors and purify cyberspace, we must further compact the platform responsibility, improve the information review and judgment mechanism, and control the release of epidemic-related rumors at the source; It is necessary to severely punish rumors according to law, and if serious consequences are caused, criminal punishment will be given.

  Internet rumors about epidemic diseases continue.

  Rumors make money by draining.

  On New Year’s Day this year, Yin Kang, a citizen of Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, who opened the social software early in the morning, found that there were several rumors that had been continuously refuted in his social group and circle of friends.

  At the end of the holiday, when I went to work, some colleagues told Yin Kang mysteriously with a bottle of Erguotou, that high alcohol can prevent COVID-19 infection. Would you like some? What bothers Yin Kang even more is that grandpa, who had given up smoking and drinking because of his poor liver and lungs, immediately asked his family to smoke and drink … …

  Yin Kang said that although there are many rumors like this, people with discerning eyes know that they are false at first glance, but because of the rapid spread and wide range, some people, especially many elderly people, are willing to believe it. In addition, there are still many rumors that are cloaked in science, and the tone is so convincing that it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them.

  Not long ago, WeChat Security Center announced the top ten rumors that were most widely circulated in the circle of friends in 2022, many of which were related to the epidemic situation, such as the toxic reagent on the "sampling cotton swab", the daily subsidy during the epidemic, and the prevention of Covid-19 by soaking Stephania in water. For Pan Ying in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, these rumors are familiar to her.

  "These top ten rumors have been forwarded by my family elders to the group. In recent years, I have been on the road of rumors, and I have tried my best to tell my family that these are false, but rumors have always existed, especially about the epidemic. This rumor has come again, and some rumors that have been rumored will come back after a while, and every rumor, no matter how outrageous, will always be believed by my family." Pan Ying said.

  Recently, news about Covid-19 Omicron mutant XBB has been rampant. The latest news shows that the introduction of a new strain XBB.1.5 has been detected in Shanghai. At present, there are many rumors about XBB.1.5 on the Internet, especially a screen shot circulating on the Internet platform, saying that all the strains prevalent in China are the younger brother of XBB.1.5, which mainly focuses on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and will cause diarrhea. It is suggested that the public prepare montmorillonite powder, norfloxacin, rehydration salts, probiotics and so on. Shanghai rumor platform said that the screenshot exaggerated the pathogenicity of XBB.1.5, and did not rule out people with ulterior motives to promote products. Many doctors have warned not to take montmorillonite powder, norfloxacin and other drugs as mentioned in the screenshot at will.

  In the investigation, the reporter found that since the epidemic prevention and control work was carried out, all kinds of information about the prevention and control of COVID-19 infection have always occupied an eye-catching position on social apps, websites and other network platforms, including many old and new rumors. Moreover, the rumors related to the epidemic have different distribution characteristics in different stages of the epidemic development, reflecting the changes in public sentiment and demand, which may make people have a wrong understanding of COVID-19 infection and adopt wrong means in the process of preventing and treating COVID-19, thus affecting the normal epidemic prevention and control work.

  The Public Opinion Center of the Rule of Law Network conducted a public opinion analysis on Internet rumors about epidemic diseases caused by high fever, and found that social platforms have become a "Petri dish" for rumors about epidemic diseases. Most rumors about epidemic diseases come from social platforms and spread mainly through chat groups, friends circle, WeChat official account and video numbers, among which chat groups and friends circle are the main positions for communication. This is because the "strong relationship" social circle has the characteristics of privacy, closure, agglomeration, etc. The privacy of the acquaintance relationship chain makes it difficult to track the process of information production and forwarding, and at the same time, the credibility and forwarding volume of rumors are greatly increased, thus achieving cross-group and cross-platform communication. In addition, all kinds of short video platforms have become the new "source" of online rumors. The presence and authenticity of short videos increase the persuasiveness of rumors and often mislead the public to believe them.

  Why are some publishers keen to fabricate rumors? The Network Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security has revealed this, and there will be advertisements inserted under the content released by the rumors or in the comment area. The more traffic advertisers are exposed and clicked, the more revenue they will get. "It can be said that every time you click, the rumor maker can make money."

  Yin Kang said that many of his friends and family members feel that forwarding this information at will can remind more people, and it is a positive energy behavior. Even if it is false, it will not cause any losses to others. As a result, it has become a disseminator who has expanded the scope of rumors unconsciously.

  Hair under the guise of official name

  The platform is responsible for governance.

  Recently, a notice claiming to be from "President of Changzhou Red Cross Society" spread widely. According to the notice, if brown sugar, ginger, scallion and garlic are boiled in water, the probability of being infected with the virus is almost zero. Li Lei of Heze City, Shandong Province has also received an "anti-epidemic prescription" from his old mother at home. However, Li Lei’s online verification found that the screenshot had been spread on the Internet as early as February 2020. At that time, the staff of Changzhou Red Cross Society rumored that the organization and the president had not released the above information.

  "Most of them can be seen as rumors at a glance, and even a large part of them have been rumored by the government and proved to be rumors. I wonder why many rumors have been repeatedly banned, and some people are convinced of the rumors that have been rumored." Li Lei said.

  Pan Ying said that she saw many rumors, all of which were published under the guise of official organizations. "I used to receive short messages informing me of nucleic acid testing and the health code turning red, which said that they were sent by the CDC and left a phone number. Some of them were true and some were false, so many people were cheated, which led me to doubt their authenticity as long as I saw the epidemic-related text messages now."

  "There are too many rumors. We may remember them for a while after rumors, but we are not professionals. Most people may forget them in a month or two, and it is difficult to distinguish similar rumors when they come again." Pan Ying said.

  According to Li Junhui, a special researcher at the Intellectual Property Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, there are three main reasons for the repeated prohibition of epidemic-related rumors. First, epidemic-related information is the focus of public attention, which is related to the individual’s concern about how to avoid being infected and how to deal with it after infection. Second, it is related to the insufficient, untimely and incomplete release of epidemic-related information in some areas, because real information can not meet or solve public concerns, and it will naturally be attracted by some false information; Third, the information of epidemic-related rumors has the characteristics of confirmation, illustration or difficulty in distinguishing authenticity, which makes the relevant information easily misinformed and further misinformed.

  What kind of responsibility may the rumor-monger bear for spreading rumors about the epidemic?

  Ai Hongqiang, a lawyer of Beijing Jingshi (Quanzhou) Law Firm, told reporters that according to the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, those who spread rumors, lied about dangerous situations, epidemics, police situations or deliberately disturbed public order by other means will face detention and fines. If a citizen’s personal reputation right is infringed by spreading rumors, according to relevant regulations, the infringer will bear the responsibility of stopping the infringement, restoring the reputation, eliminating the influence, apologizing and compensating for the losses. In addition, making and spreading epidemic rumors may also bear criminal responsibility.

  At the end of November last year, the Central Network Information Office reported that in view of the recent rumors in the fields of epidemic prevention and control, emergencies, and people’s livelihood, it urged and guided the website platform to strengthen monitoring and verification, and the key website platforms handled more than 5,400 accounts for spreading rumors on the Internet, which was the first time. Trace the source and close the initial account.

  Experts interviewed by reporters believe that the network platform has an unshirkable responsibility for the governance of epidemic-related information.

  Li Junhui believes that the network platform should classify information, and make clear what belongs to the simple sharing of individual experiences and what belongs to the misleading information release. For all kinds of information released by users on the platform, a review and judgment mechanism should be established in time, and the experience sharing review with high similarity in information content should be strengthened to avoid spreading false epidemic-related information and causing public panic. For the release of rescue information, it is necessary to ensure that the rescue information can be released normally, and also to prevent criminals from simply copying and applying other people’s help information for release, which will affect public judgment.

  The relevant staff of Tik Tok Platform told reporters that recently, during routine inspections, the platform found that a very small number of users posted content without medical basis, such as "COVID-19’s remedies for reducing fever — — Boiled soybean water to drink ","Smoked mugwort leaves and moxa sticks can wipe out Covid-19 ","Never eat food when you have a fever, including eggs and milk "and so on. The above contents have been refuted by authoritative media and medical experts. In this regard, the platform has given a continuous blow and treatment. Since November 2022, the platform has handled 332,600 false videos related to the epidemic and marked more than 200,000 suspicious contents.

  Timely release of authoritative information

  Crack down on epidemic rumors according to law

  Recently, Shanghai Rumor-dispelling Platform has sorted out the recent rumors, classified them according to four major themes: prevention, symptoms, treatment and life, and attached suggestions and opinions from medical experts and authoritative organizations, hoping to present a practical "prevention and control book" for the public.

  The reporter found that by searching for "epidemic situation" or switching to the "anti-epidemic" column on Tik Tok’s homepage, users can enter the epidemic prevention rumor area in Tik Tok and check the relevant knowledge; When Baidu searches with keywords such as "COVID-19" and "epidemic situation", there will also be a rumor-dispelling area and a national epidemic prevention hot search list to give users more scientific guidance.

  The relevant departments have been taking action to crack down on rumors related to the epidemic.

  Publishing and spreading false epidemic-related information through the Internet and deliberately creating and spreading epidemic-related rumors have seriously affected the normal public order. Hubei public security organs severely cracked down according to law and seriously investigated the relevant legal responsibilities of publishers, forwarders, group owners, administrators and other personnel.

  On October 8, 2022, Huang, a citizen of Jianli City, Hubei Province, spread rumors about the epidemic in many social groups. Hu, a citizen of the city, forwarded it to his personal short video account without verification and spread again. The behavior of the two people caused panic among local residents and caused adverse effects. The Hongcheng Police Station in Jianli City organized a police investigation, quickly found the communicators Huang and Hu, and carried out legal education for them. The two clarified the rumor. In the end, the violator Huang was sentenced to five days’ administrative detention and Hu was sentenced to a fine of 200 yuan.

  In November last year, the Network Information Office of Yulin Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Public Security Bureau of Yulin City of Shaanxi Province issued the Notice on Combating and Rectifying Internet Rumors Related to the Epidemic in accordance with the Law, prohibiting the compilation and distribution of false information and resolutely resisting online rumors. Website platforms, media people and Internet group administrators should strictly review the sources and contents of information related to the epidemic. If publishing and disseminating false information through the Internet has caused serious social impact, online letters and public security organs will crack down on relevant websites, platforms and Internet accounts according to laws and regulations.

  Recently, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province officially issued a notice, and the information related to the epidemic is subject to the official information released by the epidemic prevention and control headquarters at all levels in the city. For the information related to the epidemic that has not been officially confirmed, it is not published, disseminated, commented, believed, rumored or spread. What has been published should be deleted immediately to actively eliminate the adverse social impact. If it cannot be deleted, it is necessary to promptly dispel rumors and take the initiative to explain the situation to the public.

  According to Hu Gang, Deputy Secretary-General of internet society of china Legal Work Committee, at present, China has built a legal system of epidemic reporting, notification and publication, which is mainly based on the law on the prevention and control of infectious diseases and emergency regulations for public health emergencies, and a legal system of online rumor management, which is mainly based on the Civil Code, the Criminal Law, the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, the E-commerce Law, the Network Security Law, and the Internet information service management measures, and has continuously carried out special actions such as "clearing and cracking down on online rumors and false information" to supervise the website platform to effectively perform information content management.

  How can we make the rumors about the epidemic no longer "outcrop"?

  Li Junhui said that in order to accurately crack down on false or rumor information related to the epidemic, it is necessary to have real and scientific information release subjects or strengthen the linkage between the regulatory authorities and platforms, and subjects with information screening ability and conditions should participate in the review of information release on various platforms to control rumor information release from the source. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the big data analysis of information released by users, refine the focus of users’ attention, and timely release authoritative information to respond, so as to relieve or reduce public concerns. Those who are suspected of deliberately creating and spreading false information shall be investigated for legal responsibility according to law.

  Hu Gang suggested that the early warning system of infectious diseases and the information disclosure system of infectious diseases should be improved, and the national information on legal infectious diseases should be regularly published by China CDC, and the disease control institutions at or above the county level should regularly publish information on legal infectious diseases in their respective administrative regions. When an infectious disease breaks out and is prevalent, the competent health department of the local people’s government at or above the county level shall publish the epidemic information within its administrative area; When infectious diseases break out and spread across provinces, the competent department of health in the State Council shall be responsible for the announcement. At the same time, to improve the website platform’s ability to accurately control the rumors of epidemic-related networks, Internet industry associations can build information sharing and joint punishment mechanisms, and those who repeatedly maliciously publish rumors can be punished by releasing information within a limited time or prohibiting the release.

If you buy shoes for the elderly for your parents, you may be cheated by the "filial piety tax"

Original grumpy little doctor Tencent medical code 

In Chinese over 60 years old, osteoporosis has reached 56%[1].

However, there is one disease that is more frequent than it-senile foot disease, the prevalence rate is as high as 87%, which seriously threatens the health of our parents [2,3].

However, only 7.3% people will take foot disease seriously and consult a doctor [4].

As the saying goes, "people get old when they are old", and when they get old, their legs and feet are awkward at first.

Time and tide wait for no man

With the increase of age, the muscle strength of the foot is weakened, the elasticity of ligaments becomes worse, or due to unsuitable shoes, it is easy to have problems such as arch collapse and hallux valgus [1-3]. As a result, the load-bearing capacity of both feet decreases.

(Made by myself)

2. Poor foot care

Old people, bad eyes, inflexible fingers, and inability to bend over will all lead to a common result-

Give up the care of your feet.

(Made by myself)

If the toenails are too long to be trimmed or washed, it may lead to problems such as too long and thick toenails and onychomycosis.

The most common foot diseases of the elderly are [6]:

Hypertrophy of toenails (41.3%)

Hallux valgus (commonly known as "big foot bone") (28.7%)

Dry skin (26.0%)

Corns and calluses (commonly known as calluses) (24.0%)

These problems will lead to a common consequence-

If you can’t walk steadily, you will fall easily.

Many elderly people are relatively fat, and their feet are heavily burdened when walking, which makes them easy to hurt, increasing the risk of falls and fractures.

Moreover, osteoporosis is a common disease in the elderly, and it is more likely to lead to hip fracture when falling-it is called "the last fracture in life" (the mortality rate of hip fracture is as high as 22%~30%, even 50%[7-9]).

American gerontologist Hazzard said: "A clear head and a pair of feet that can move freely can make the elderly live better." [5]

Inappropriate shoes are one of the reasons why the elderly fall, and more than 70% of the elderly have inappropriate shoes [10]. So, what are the main situations in which shoes are not suitable?

1. The shoes are too narrow

Toes and soles are squeezed for a long time, so that the forefoot is deformed, hallux valgus and little toe are deformed, which will be very painful.

(Made by myself)

2. The shoes are too short

It will bend the toes, which will be deformed after a long time (that is, hammer toes or claw toes).

(Made by myself)

The skin on the instep is squeezed, slowly forming a hard cocoon, which is painful and swollen.

Diabetic elderly people with poor blood sugar control are also prone to serious infections.

Let me say one thing first:

The so-called "shoes for the elderly" should be bought carefully to avoid paying the "filial piety tax".

Many "shoes for the elderly" are branded as breathable, spacious, soft, non-squeezing, and non-slip, and can even be like twisting a towel.

(Made by myself)

But in fact, the softer the shoes, the better. Shoes that can be easily twisted are easy to deform and lack support for the arch.

When buying shoes for the elderly, we should follow the principle of "wide front, tough middle and hard heel".

Specifically, the elderly should pay attention to these three points when choosing shoes:

1. The sole has anti-slip design.

Older people’s physical balance ability becomes worse, and the perception of pressure on the soles of their feet decreases, which will increase the risk of falling when walking [5].

Therefore, it is necessary to choose a non-slip design for the sole.

2. Hard soles with sufficient support

Shoes that are too soft, such as old cloth shoes, lack sufficient support at the arch, and it is easy to feel uncomfortable when walking too much, and the feet are tired, sore and painful; Encountering a gravel road will also increase the risk of falling [11,12].

Hard-soled shoes can increase the safety and stability of the elderly when walking [13].

The middle toughness of shoes should be moderate, and you can try to twist them by hand. It is not good to twist them too easily or completely.

The heel also needs to have a certain height, at least 1.5~2.5 cm, which can disperse the pressure on the sole of the foot.

3. The vamp should be breathable, warm and loose.

Old people’s feet have poor blood circulation and are prone to cold feet, pain, blue skin and other symptoms [11].

Buying a pair of breathable, warm and loose shoes is comfortable and easy to wear, and it can also reduce the incidence of nail malnutrition and fungal infection (commonly known as beriberi) [5].

It can be a little bigger, leaving about 1 cm in front of the toes, so that the toes have enough room to move.

In addition, when the elderly buy shoes, there are three tips:

1. It’s best not to buy it by children or online shopping, but to try it yourself.

Bring socks and insoles that you usually wear. Feel it on your feet and experience walking, running and jumping in the store to choose the shoes that suit you best.

It’s best to buy it in the afternoon

Affected by gravity and venous reflux, people’s feet are usually bigger in the afternoon than in the morning.

Trying on shoes in the morning will hurt your feet in the afternoon [5].

Don’t bother, try more pairs.

Old people often encounter two feet with different sizes, for example, one foot has severe hallux valgus, or the arch of both feet collapses to different degrees.

This requires trying on a few more pairs and finding shoes that are comfortable for both feet. Or put an arch support pad on a shoe.

How much do you know about eating zongzi and rowing dragon boats?

What do you know about the custom of Dragon Boat Festival?

DUAN

erect

WU

noon

Dragon Boat Festival is one of the four traditional festivals in China.

Celebrate every year on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

The origins and customs are rich and varied.

Has profound cultural connotation.

The origin of Duanwu Festival

It is said that the custom of eating zongzi and racing dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan, a great poet in Chinese history. It is precisely because of this that the Dragon Boat Festival was named "Poet’s Day" after the founding of New China.

In the history of our country, the saying that the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan has a history of more than 1500 years. According to legend, after Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River, the local people immediately rowed for rescue and went all the way to Dongting Lake, but Qu Yuan’s body was never seen. At that time, it was rainy, and the boats on the lake gathered together beside the pavilion on the shore. When people learned that it was to salvage the virtuous minister Dr. Qu, they went out in the rain again and rushed into the vast Dongting Lake. In order to mourn, people rowed on rivers, and then it gradually developed into a dragon boat race. The people were afraid that the fish in the river would eat his body, so they went home to bring rice balls and throw them into the river to prevent fish and shrimp from ruining Qu Yuan’s body. Later, it became the custom to eat zongzi.

The custom of Duanwu Festival

dragon boat race

Dragon boat race is the main custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. According to legend, it originated in ancient times, because Chu people could not bear to part with Qu Yuan, a worthy minister, and died in the river, many people rowed to catch up and save. They scrambled to catch up with each other until Dongting Lake disappeared. After that, I will row a dragon boat on May 5th every year to commemorate it. People use dragon boats to disperse the fish in the river so as not to eat Qu Yuan’s body. The habit of racing is prevalent in Wu, Yue and Chu.

eat Zongzi

Eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival is another traditional custom of Chinese residents. Zongzi, also known as "horn millet" and "tube zongzi". It has a long history and various patterns. On the morning of Dragon Boat Festival, families eat zongzi to commemorate Qu Yuan. Generally, they wrap zongzi the day before, cook them at night and eat them in the morning. Dumplings are mainly made of tender reed leaves which are abundant along the river pond, and bamboo leaves are also useful in some areas, collectively called zongye. The traditional form of zongzi is triangle, which is generally named after the inner pulp. The glutinous rice dumplings are called rice dumplings, the ones mixed with adzuki beans are called adzuki dumplings, and the ones mixed with red dates are called jujube dumplings, which are collectively called glutinous rice dumplings. Jujube dumplings are homophonic for "early middle school", so they are eaten the most, and children who intend to study can win the championship early. In the past, scholars used to eat jujube dumplings in the morning on the day of taking the imperial examination. Up to now, parents have to make jujube dumplings for candidates on the morning of the entrance examination day for middle schools and universities, wishing them a good school.

Tie colorful ropes and wear sachets.

Five-color lines are mainly composed of five colors: green, red, white, black and yellow. These five colors are called auspicious colors, and they can be worn on the Dragon Boat Festival to keep you safe. Later, the custom of tying colorful ropes gradually evolved into hanging sachets, and children wore sachets on the Dragon Boat Festival. Legend has it that it meant to ward off evil spirits and drive away plague (in ancient times, people thought that they were sick because of monsters and ghosts), but it was actually used to decorate the inner head. The sachet contains cinnabar, realgar and fragrant medicine, wrapped with silk cloth, which is full of fragrance, and then tied with five-color silk threads to form a rope, making a string in various shapes, all kinds of shapes, small and lovely. In some southern cities of China, young men and women also use sachets to express their deep love.

Hanging wormwood and calamus

A folk proverb says, "Willows are inserted in Qingming Festival, and Ai is inserted in Dragon Boat Festival". On the Dragon Boat Festival, people regard inserting wormwood and calamus as one of the important contents. Every household should sweep the courtyard and put calamus and moxa sticks in the lintel and hang them in the hall. Acorus calamus, Folium Artemisiae Argyi, Liuhua, Bulbus Allii and Dragon Boat Flower are made into human or tiger shapes, which are called Ai Ren and Ai Hu. It is made into garlands and ornaments, which are beautiful and fragrant, and women compete to wear them to drive away evil. Dragon Boat Festival is also a "health festival" handed down from ancient times. On this day, people sweep the courtyard, hang mugwort, hang calamus, sprinkle realgar water, drink realgar wine, stir up turbidity, remove rot, sterilize and prevent diseases. They are considered to have the effect of exorcising evil spirits and protecting the health and safety of family members.

Point realgar wine

Realgar is also a kind of medicinal material, which is said to kill all kinds of poisons. Therefore, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Shaanxi people will soak realgar in wine and put realgar wine on children’s ears, nose, forehead, wrists and ankles. It is said that this practice can keep mosquitoes, snakes, scorpions, centipedes, geckos and spiders off their bodies.

Eat salted duck eggs

Eating salted duck eggs on the Dragon Boat Festival is a big custom. As the saying goes, "You have to eat salted egg zongzi to send the chill." After the Dragon Boat Festival, it indicates that the hot summer is coming, and the activities of animals and plants have entered a vigorous stage. In addition, the humid climate and the active diseases, pests and bacteria are easy to cause many diseases. Eating salted duck eggs on the Dragon Boat Festival can detoxify and help keep healthy.

The contents of the Dragon Boat Festival customs are rich and varied, including polo, grass fighting, painting, flying kites, and there are some small differences in details because of different regional cultures throughout the country.

Planning a package of scientific research management system reform, revising and promulgating more than 10 items such as "Management Measures for Vertical Scientific Research of Natural Sciences in Guizhou University (Revised)" and "Measures for Cultivating Symbolic Scientific Research Achievements of Natural Sciences in Guizhou University (Trial)", and constantly improving the institutional guarantee for scientific research layout, organization promotion and coordinated management. Set up a leading group for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements with the secretary and the principal as the team leader and the heads of relevant functional departments as members to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements as a whole. The second is to improve the supervision and management process. Improve the working rules of the academic Committee of the school, hold regular academic Committee meetings, dynamically adjust members, and effectively improve the effectiveness of academic governance and supervision. The scientific research work will be included in the school’s annual work points and the annual "Ten Practical Things", and the school’s supervision office will be responsible for supervising and compacting the main responsibility of scientific research work. The third is to improve the evaluation methods. Formulate the Assessment Method for Improving the Innovation Ability of Scientific Research Platform of Guizhou University (Trial) and the Graded and Classified Integral Standard for the Performance Assessment of Academic Contribution of Scientific Research of Guizhou University (Trial), explore the classified evaluation and assessment methods oriented to quality and contribution, and stimulate the vitality of scientific researchers at all levels and categories. Strengthen the application of assessment results, reasonably link the effectiveness of scientific research with professional title evaluation, post appointment, talent evaluation and performance assessment, and enhance teachers’ enthusiasm and initiative.

  Focus on scientific research and innovation.First, take the national platform as the fulcrum to serve the national and regional major strategies. Give full play to the role of the National Key Laboratory of Green Pesticides and the National Key Laboratory of Public Big Data jointly established by the province and the Ministry, anchor the scientific and technological frontiers such as the integration, open sharing and security of green pesticides, food security and public big data, actively undertake major national projects, develop new technologies based on biological prevention and control, and crack key technologies such as data fusion, data analysis and intelligent analysis. Focusing on the strategy of "rich minerals and refined mining" in Guizhou Province, we took the lead in setting up an expert team of "manganese", "phosphorus" and "barite-fluorite", with academicians as the chief scientists of the team and national leading talents as the chief scientists of sub-teams, and organized 20 key transformation projects involving the mining and processing of major minerals such as coal, phosphorus, manganese and aluminum, which strongly supported the development of regional industries. The second is to innovate the system and mechanism of school-enterprise cooperation with strategic demand as the traction. We will implement the plan of science and technology commissioners, send 56 doctoral experts to eight industrial fields, such as Maotai-flavor liquor and new energy materials, and 76 small and medium-sized enterprises as vice presidents of industrial technology innovation, build a service model chain of "talent team-leading industries-key production areas-leading enterprises-key scientific and technological projects" for the whole industry, and get through the difficulties of school-enterprise cooperation. Implement the "double tutor+two-stage" postgraduate training mode, encourage postgraduate students to choose key technical problems of enterprises as thesis topics, build a school-enterprise joint talent training mode featuring "ordering", and improve the fit between talent training and social needs. The third is to build a new scientific research organization model with high-quality development as the goal.Implement the cultivation plan of scientific research innovation team, create a new model of "team+",and encourage more than 50 young teachers who have joined in recent years and have strong academic potential to join 14 innovative talent teams such as high-performance polymer materials technology in Guizhou Province, so as to effectively revitalize scientific research resources. Focus on cutting-edge innovative research, create a new model of "discipline+",break down barriers between colleges and disciplines, and set up interdisciplinary research teams such as intelligent perception of crop diseases in mountainous areas of Guizhou Province and scientific and technological innovation talent teams for accurate use of pesticides to promote the integration and innovation of scientific research.

  Strengthen the construction of talent team.The first is to increase the introduction of high-tech talents. Put forward the working goal of "national talents will achieve a breakthrough of 100 people in 2025", decompose the task of introducing national talents into key disciplines and related secondary units, regularly follow up the promotion of talent introduction in each unit every month, and strive to build a high-level and high-quality scientific research team. In the past two years, 32 national talents and nearly 200 excellent doctors have been introduced. The second is to open a green channel for high-level talents. In view of the fact that some of the leading talents to be introduced are nearly 60 years old, we will actively strive for policy support, and on the basis of strict quality and procedures, we will raise the enrollment age of leading talents who are in good health and have not yet gone through retirement procedures from 60 years old to 63 years old, thus successfully solving the upper age limit of leading talents. The third is to increase the cultivation of key talents. Invite experts from the National Natural Science Foundation to give special guidance and training to academic backbones in the aspects of project application writing and application, so as to enhance their ability to undertake national projects and jointly tackle key problems. Organize mobilization meetings for project declaration, lectures on scientific research integrity, lectures and guidance by well-known experts outside the school and other training activities for young researchers. For newly introduced and trained doctors, we will independently select topics in the field of natural science to carry out innovative basic research and applied basic research, give scientific research funding, and fully support the growth of new academic seedlings.

  Do a good job in scientific research services.The first is to streamline the scientific research management process. Adhering to the principle of "let information and data run more and teachers run less errands", we will upgrade the school’s scientific research information system, build an integrated information platform integrating data collection and analysis, and realize information resources and data sharing. Optimize project management, examination and approval procedures and reimbursement procedures, continuously streamline work links, and reduce teachers’ transactional burden. The second is to equip with strong scientific research assistants. Each college and scientific research institution is equipped with a scientific research secretary to build a communication bridge between the school’s scientific research department and teachers to ensure that information is conveyed and tasks are implemented in the first time. According to the needs of scientific research work in the college, we employ scientific research assistants to assist the expert research group to promote patent application, data measurement, laboratory instrument management and maintenance, and let experts concentrate on scientific research. The third is to build a strong experimental platform. The Measures for the Administration of Full-time and Double-employed Personnel of the State Key Laboratory of Public Big Data jointly established by the Ministry of Provincial Affairs (for Trial Implementation) was issued, and a leading group for the reorganization of the State Key Laboratory of Public Big Data, headed by the secretary and the principal, was set up to focus on integrating resources and building a strong national laboratory. Regularly update large-scale scientific research instruments and equipment to enhance the accuracy and stability of experimental results and consolidate the basic guarantee for improving scientific research efficiency. In the past three years, 514 million yuan worth of new scientific research equipment has been added, and a high-quality full-time experimental team of 343 people has been equipped.

Evaluation of domestic self-developed chips in the new era Godson 3A4000

In recent two years, the domestic IC industry has been paid close attention to by people inside and outside the industry, and the momentum of domestic self-developed chips and domestic self-developed systems in the commercial field is growing. As a technology leader and supplier of domestic self-developed processors, Loongson Zhongke recently brought us a new generation of processor architecture products: Loongson 3A4000 processor.

Evaluation of domestic self-developed chips in the new era godson A4000
Godson 3A4000

Introduction of Godson 3A4000

The Loongson 3A4000 processor uses 28nm technology and has four cores, which is consistent with the previous generation 3A3000. In terms of frequency, the Loongson 3A4000 processor is turbo-charged to 2.0GHz, while the 3A3000 processor is 1.5GHz, and the frequency is increased by 0.5GHz. In addition, the Loongson 3A4000 processor is upgraded to GS464V, which supports MIPS64 instruction set, and has expanded more than 1,000 instructions on the basis of only 500 instructions.

On the whole, compared with the previous generation 3A3000, the Loongson 3A4000 processor has not only greatly improved its performance, but also upgraded and optimized its security and encryption, built-in security modules and supported a variety of encryption and decryption algorithms.

Loongson 3A4000 mainframe sample

Because the Loongson 3A4000 processor is a domestic self-developed chip, facing the commercial field, it is not compatible with the mainstream American AMD and Intel platforms in the consumer market, so it needs to use the dedicated motherboard of the Loongson 7A2000 chipset to adapt to it. In addition, the Loongson 3A4000 processor is not compatible with the Windows system based on X86 architecture. The Loongson 3A4000 processor uses the upgraded GS464V architecture, which requires an adaptation system based on LINUX kernel.

This time, the system we used to test the Loongson 3A4000 processor is the UOS unified operating system (UOS is the system code, and this article will use the UOS system uniformly). Based on the LINUX kernel, the UOS system has been adapted to the Loongson 3A4000 processor.

UOS system

Although it is still in the testing stage, UOS system has great potential, which is a safe, easy-to-use and stable operating system product voluntarily initiated and developed by many domestic operating system core enterprises, which is of great significance. Besides Godson Zhongke, other domestic self-developed chip manufacturers will also adapt and support the UOS system, which means that the domestic hardware industry and software industry will be unified and integrated, which will greatly promote the development and progress of the domestic IC industry.

WPS three-piece test

There is no speed difference between the two processors when opening documents with a size of more than 10MB, both of which are within 1 second, but the author can still feel that the Loongson 3A4000 host is smoother and faster with the naked eye. However, the gap between the opening speed of forms above 20MB began to appear. Compared with 3A3000, the Godson 3A4000 improved by more than one second, and the gap in opening speed of PPT above 300MB increased by as much as three seconds. However, in fact, no matter whether using Godson 3A4000 or Godson 33000, daily work can be carried out smoothly without any bottleneck.

Picture Video Open Test:

In addition to office documents, let’s test the video opening speed and picture opening speed of the two processors.

In these three tests, the Loongson 3A4000 processor still occupies an absolute advantage, which is faster than the Loongson 3A3000 processor. At the same time, it also tells us that there is no problem with the view and audio of these two processors, and both the view software, the video software and the OFFICE software linux have products corresponding to the Windows system, such as WPS corresponding to Office, so there is no need to worry about the problem of being unable to use and operate.

7.Zip decompression test:

7.Zip should be familiar to everyone. This is a very popular decompression software, which is often seen in Windows systems. One thing to note is that UOS did not pre-install 7.Zip. We used a notebook equipped with LOONGNIX processor, and the frequency was only 1.5GHz. The Loongnix mainframe was replaced by neokylin system.

After we open the terminal, we input the command LSCPU, and then we can start running after continuously inputting nuame-r and 7z a. The test results of Loongson 3A4000 and Loongson 3A3000 are as follows.

Compared with the 3,709 score of the Godson 3A3000, the running score of the Godson 3A 4000 at 1.5GHz is 5,470, which is about 47% higher, and the score is very impressive. 7.Zip is one of the most commonly used applications in daily life. Although it can’t fully reflect the processor performance, it can show the processor efficiency. Undoubtedly, the efficiency of the Godson 3A 4000 is greatly improved compared with that of the previous generation. If it is the Godson 3A4000 at 2.0GHz,

Principled Technologies WebXPRT 3 test:

Although the UOS system of Loongson 3A4000 platform has not supported much in software testing, the Web page testing is not restricted. The UOS system for web page testing that can be used in Windows system can also be used. We use the Principled Technologies WebXPRT 3 test, which can reflect the performance of all devices that support the Web.

The browser tested is a built-in browser in UOS system, based on the Chromium kernel, which is an open source core and is used by many browsers.

This Web page tests that it contains six scenes based on HTML5 and JavaScript for mirroring daily tasks. In this test, the Loongson 3A4000 processor still achieved the performance crushing of the previous generation Loongson 3A3000, with a total score difference of 24 points.

In the six scenarios of JavaScript, the efficiency of each operation of Loongson 3A4000 processor has been greatly improved, including photo enhancement by about 63%, photo album arrangement by using artificial intelligence by about 74%, stock option pricing by about 59%, encrypted notes and OCR scanning by about 69%, sales charts by 69% and online work by 49%.

SPEC 2006 test

SPEC 2006 is a large-scale CPU performance test project, which can fully show the two most important parameters of CPU: fixed-point performance and floating-point performance, and has been recognized by everyone in the field of commercial CPU.

SPEC 2006 test results

In the test, two processors, the Godson 3A4000 processor and the Godson 3A3000 processor, are compared. These two processors are both four cores. Whether it is the performance test of SPEC INT2006 fixed-point performance test, SPEC FP2006 floating-point performance test and STREAM(GB) memory bandwidth, the performance of the Godson 3A4000 processor has been greatly improved, almost doubling the effect. This performance can be achieved only by optimizing the architecture and increasing the price, which shows that the design and research and development of the Godson are amazing.

03 summary

At present, although the development of domestic chip industry is not as good as that of foreign semiconductor industry, especially foreign semiconductor manufacturers may invest tens of billions of dollars in chip research and development a year, while the domestic chip industry has limited funds, and the chip research and development starts later than foreign counterparts. There is indeed a gap as a whole. However, Loongson has been able to concentrate on research and development for 20 years on one architecture, and continuously iteratively upgrade the Loongson 3A processor chip. It has successively launched the Loongson 3A2000 processor, 3A3000 processor and 3A4000 processor just released at the end of the year, and kept its performance rising, which has fully demonstrated its R&D and design capabilities.

The performance of Godson 3A4000 processor is comparable to that of AMD’s Excavator architecture CPU, whether it is the underlying architecture or the physical design. Moreover, Godson 3A4000 processor can effectively prevent Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities, support encryption and decryption algorithms such as MD5, AES and SHA, and eliminate any risks in security.

The Loongson 3A4000 processor adopts 28nm process, and there is still a lot of room for upgrading and optimization. Under the same 28nm process, the CPU performance of the Loongson 3A4000 processor is improved by 6 times compared with that of the first-generation Loongson 3A1000 processor with the same process. It is reported that the next-generation Loongson 3A5000 processor will use 12nm process next year, and the CPU frequency can be increased to 3.0GHz, which is full of stamina.

Ordinary users may have questions, why do you want to launch domestic self-developed CPU chips so vigorously, and it is not good to introduce it abroad? It may be practical in the short term, but it must not be a long-term solution. The core technology is not in our own hands and will inevitably be subject to others. In the field of domestic CPU, what we need to do now is not to catch up blindly, but to avoid being useless, that is, what we need to solve now is the problem of 0 and 1. It is believed that Godson, which has always insisted on independent design and has the ability to realize all independent designs, can enter the civil market in the near future.

 

Digital reading makes the world of the blind have more "colors"

Digital reading makes the world of the blind have more "colors"

The reporter investigated the reading problem of blind people in China. 

On October 13th, in an office of the Chinese Braille Library, Yin Menglan was absorbed in her work, and her hands were jumping rapidly on the computer keyboard.

In sharp contrast to the flexibility of fingers, Yin Menglan’s vision is disabled. She is a visually impaired person. It is reading that has promoted the earth-shaking changes in her life: when she was a child, she went to a braille school to study braille and took part in the senior high school entrance examination and college entrance examination; Now, she works in the Braille library and listens to audio books every day, which not only broadens her knowledge, but also realizes the purpose of entertainment and leisure.

In China, there are more than 17 million people with visual impairment like Yin Menglan. How do they read? Can the booming audio reading meet their reading needs? What can be further improved in the process of reading promotion for the blind? With these questions, the reporter of Rule of Law Daily recently visited the Chinese Braille Library.

Books for the blind have many constraints.

Digital reading came into being.

"The composition of Braille is based on’ Fang’, and each party has six points. Generally, about three parties form a Chinese character. Chinese Braille is composed of initials, finals and tones of Chinese pinyin."

In the Chinese Braille Library, Fan Xingkun, director of the Culture and Education Department of the library, pointed to the Chinese Braille symbol comparison table hanging on the wall and told reporters about the changes in the reading methods of the blind. According to its introduction, since Louis Blair, a French blind man, improved and invented six-point Braille on the basis of night writing in the 1820s, touching Braille has become an important way for blind people to learn.

Teng Hongyu, a staff member in the museum, has been reading by touching Braille for nearly 50 years. He said that visually impaired people can master the coding of Braille through one or two months’ practice, and they can answer what they say and what they say, but it is still difficult to really understand and skillfully read Braille by touching it, which requires a lot of repeated practice.

However, touching Braille is not necessary for all blind people to read.

According to Li Qingzhong, chairman of the China Blind Association, visual disabilities are generally divided into two categories: blindness and low vision. Blindness means blindness, and the eyes cannot feel a little light; Although low vision can’t see clearly, it can feel a glimmer of light, not completely dark.

"Braille is necessary for people who are completely invisible; For people with low vision, in addition to reading special Braille books, you can also read big books. " Li Qingzhong said.

Although Braille books can meet the reading needs of some visually impaired people, paper books have certain limitations. The reporter saw in the Braille library that blind documents are bigger and thicker than ordinary books.

In this regard, Fan Xingkun explained that generally more than 200 Chinese characters are converted into Braille, which may take up one page. After a very thin Chinese reading material is made into a Braille book, the volume will increase a lot, and it is not convenient to store and carry. Moreover, there are special requirements for the pulp and production technology of braille paper, so as to ensure that the blind spots are clear and unbreakable and can withstand repeated touching and reading by blind people. Compared with ordinary books, editing and proofreading processes and printing processes also consume more time and cost.

How to solve the problem? The development of Internet provides more possibilities for blind people to read.

In recent years, with the development of information technology, digital reading has developed faster and faster, providing more and more convenience for visually impaired people.

He Chuan, vice chairman of China Blind Association and director of the Information Accessibility Center of China Braille Library, told reporters that at present, visually impaired people can listen to electronic texts such as Word, TXT and PDF besides audio books. "There are also several ways to listen, such as installing screen reading software on the computer and listening to the sound of screen reading to operate the computer; The book-listening machine designed by China Braille Publishing House can read electronic texts at any time. You can also use your smartphone to listen to audio books. " He Chuan said.

In the reading room of Braille Library, the reporter saw the latest intelligent reading machine. It is like a small mobile phone, which can be recharged or put into a battery, and can be used after activation. It also has a network download function, from which blind readers can obtain massive reading resources.

According to Park Dong-sook, deputy director of the Collection and Lending Department of China Braille Library, these reading machines can be borrowed and mailed to blind readers all over the country for free. According to Park Dong-sook’s explanation, the reporter operated for the first time when the reading machine was completely black, and soon found the desired online book resources, which was very convenient and fast.

Digital reading is convenient and fast.

Full promotion has encountered bottlenecks.

In fact, as early as September 2017, Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, the Ministry of Finance, the China Disabled Persons’ Federation and other departments jointly launched the "Digital Reading Promotion Project for the Blind", including the construction of a platform for the integration, publication and dissemination of reading for the blind; Relying on 400 public libraries, lend 200,000 intelligent reading machines to the blind for free; Relying on 100 educational institutions for visually impaired readers, 1,000 Braille computers and electronic displays are lent to the blind free of charge.

It is obvious that digital reading for the blind brings convenience to the visually impaired.

Teng Hongyu has a soft spot for music, and usually likes reading books on music, but there were few books in Braille in China before. He borrowed Braille music scores from foreign national libraries by writing letters. Because Braille music scores are universal in the world, there is no obstacle to reading them. "Nowadays, digital reading has opened up many platforms and can be read at any time."

Yin Menglan found new fun in life by listening to audio books. Every day after work, she uses her smart phone to open audio books and listen to novels. "Life is much richer."

Pan Jiang, who is also engaged in proofreading in the Braille library, relaxes by listening to novels with audio books. However, if he wants to read professional books, he is still used to reading blind documents. "Our touch is equivalent to the sight of a discerning person. Through reading, I learned a lot about psychology and solved many specific difficulties in daily life. "

However, at present, there are still some problems in the practice of digital reading promotion for the blind, and the first problem is copyright.

"Blind people can’t enjoy equal copyright. For example, if a blind person buys a book in a bookstore, it is no problem to find someone to translate the book into Braille, but if it is to be translated into an audio version, it must be authorized by the other party. " He Chuan said.

Fortunately, China has signed the Marrakesh Treaty, which requires the contracting parties to add provisions in their domestic laws, set restrictions and exceptions on the rights of copyright owners, and allow the reproduction, distribution and provision of accessible formats of published works, such as Braille, audio and electronic texts. He Chuan told reporters that China’s copyright law has been revised to suit the above-mentioned relevant provisions, and the time for the treaty to come into effect in China is getting closer and closer. "In the future, more and more books can be made into audio books and large-character editions, which is a real cultural blessing for the blind.".

He Chuan also mentioned that in the process of full coverage or equalization of public cultural services in different places, there may be unbalanced resource allocation. For example, all the public libraries in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have their own reading rooms for the blind, but in some relatively small and remote cities, the hardware measures are not in place, or there is only one physical space, and the service concept has not kept up.

On the other hand, through field research in Li Qingzhong, it is found that although some local Braille libraries and reading rooms for the blind are equipped with book resources and related auxiliary equipment, there are only a handful of visually impaired readers. How to attract more visually impaired readers through quality service is the answer that these places are exploring.

He also pointed out that inconvenient travel is also a realistic reason for the lack of motivation for blind people to go to Braille libraries or reading rooms.

Explore and solve problems in many places

Guarantee the reading rights of the blind.

How to solve these difficulties? In Fan Xingkun’s view, reading habits need to be cultivated. If you want to attract blind people to read, it is of little benefit to shout slogans and say that only by finding a way suitable for blind people to read can you really attract them.

The Chinese Braille Library has actively explored this aspect. After in-depth investigation, the relevant staff members have learned about the cultural needs of blind readers, planned various cultural salon activities such as famous lectures, "natural history tour", Taoran reading club, literature and art exhibition, organized cultural and educational activities such as Braille, computer, music, recitation, massage, interest groups for blind children, summer camps for blind children, and carried out information application, digital reading promotion, life skills, calligraphy and painting for the blind. Up to now, the Braille Library has attracted an average of more than 30,000 people to participate in various cultural activities every year.

In order to protect the reading rights of the blind, various localities have also launched actions.

Gansu Provincial Library has set up a reading service center for the disabled in Gansu Province and a reading room for braille and blind audiobooks to provide reading and lending services for visually impaired readers. When the library of Luxi County, Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province was upgraded, it specially set up a children’s reading center to provide more comfortable reading space for minors and blind people. Shanxi Province has purchased 5,000 "intelligent listening machines", which blind readers can borrow for free …

In the interview, the reporter felt that with the continuous development of digital reading promotion for the blind, more and more blind readers fell in love with reading. Convenient reading methods have opened a door of knowledge for blind readers, and since then, the road ahead of them has become wider and their world has become more "colorful".

Congenital blindness, can you see things in your dreams?

Today is the "International Day for the Blind". Do you think that blind people can’t see in broad daylight and how can they see in their dreams at night? It’s not that simple.

In fact, there are two kinds of blind people: congenital blind and acquired blind.

The first type: the acquired blind, who originally had perfect vision and had seen the world, can still see things in their dreams, although they became blind later.

The second kind: congenital blindness. People usually think that since they have never seen anything since they were born, they certainly have no vision in their dreams.

But in fact, is this really the case?

An experiment to depict dreams

In 2003, a Portuguese scientist claimed that people who were born blind could see images in their dreams. They designed such a set of experiments:

A total of 19 participants, 10 were born blind and 9 were visually sound.

The experiment requires that participants sleep normally at home.

However, there will be four alarm clocks to wake them up at night. After waking up, the participants described their dreams to the tape recorder and then went back to sleep.

The next morning, the sighted people asked to be blindfolded and draw their dreams on paper with other participants.

Here are the results. Can you identify which one was painted by a blind person?

The first hand-drawn dream map

Image source: reference [2]

The second hand-painted dream map

Image source: reference [2]

The answer is as follows ↓

The first picture is a dream recorded for the blind.

Therefore, Portuguese scientists have come to the conclusion that the description of dreams by the congenital blind and the visually sound is indistinguishable.

The way blind people see the world is not just their eyes.

Does this mean that the congenital blind have vision in their dreams? Not necessarily.

In fact, not only vision can produce images, but also the senses of touch and hearing.

Let’s talk about touch first. In the story of the blind touching the elephant, the blind touching the leg will draw a tree, the blind touching the body will draw a wall, and the blind touching the tail will draw a rope. If you touch the elephant’s whole body, the blind can draw a complete elephant. Just by touching, the brain can also form images and draw them. Scientists have studied congenital blind people and found that their tactile signals will flow into the visual cortex in the brain, thus creating images.

There are also some reports that the congenital blind can produce images by hearing. Like bats, they have the ability of echolocation, and they can hear the general structure of the house only by the echo of high heels stepping on the ground.

Some scientists also believe that blind people can see things in their dreams, which is actually a psychological experience similar to echolocation.

A study on blind people found that:

People who are born blind have no vision, nor do they dream;

People who are blind before the age of 5 will also lose their visual impression;

People who are blind after the age of 7 will always leave visual cognition;

In short, the scientific community still has no clear answer to the previous experimental results. But describing a dream is not necessarily because the blind man opened his eyes in the dream, but also because of his sense of touch and hearing.

Finally, let’s look at a picture of a dream painted by a congenital blind person.

Congenital blind people describe dreams:

The sun, sailboats, seabirds, clouds, coconut trees,

There are two happy people

Image source: reference [2]

Blind people have no vision, but this does not prevent them from making an accurate and poetic description of the world. Touch, smell and hearing can also become their "new eyes" to see the world.

China’s prices remained stable in the first half of the year.

According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics today (July 10th), in the first half of this year, the consumer price index CPI maintained a moderate increase, up 0.1% year-on-year. In terms of categories, the prices of services such as tourism, catering and accommodation for residents have increased; Adequate market supply, smooth connection between production and marketing, and a decrease in food prices. Overall, China’s prices remained stable in the first half of the year.

In the first half of the year, the decline of the national industrial producer ex-factory price index PPI continued to narrow, down 2.1% year-on-year.

Looking forward to the later period, as the macro-policies continue to exert their strength and show obvious effects, the demand for goods and services continues to recover, and the overall price level in China will maintain a moderate upward trend.
