Science education is based on inquiry.

Science education for primary and middle school students should conform to children’s cognitive characteristics, care for their innate curiosity and imagination, and help them appreciate the wonderful fun of observing, thinking and experimenting like scientists.    


 


Although there are many opinions on how to add science education in the "double reduction" of education, there is a consensus that strengthening science education is not only to increase the teaching of scientific knowledge, but also to cultivate scientific literacy. Scientific literacy has the characteristics of multi-factor and multi-dimensional organic integration, including not only scientific knowledge and methods, but also scientific thinking, scientific attitude and scientific spirit. From the perspective of education, every subject, every scene and every link related to literacy cultivation cannot be separated from inquiry. Whether it’s questioning, model building, hypothetical experiment, problem solving, system discovery, innovation and development … The whole process of exploring with the germination, jointing, flowering and results of scientific literacy is filled in the life experience of every subject of science education. It can be said that science education is alive and smart because of inquiry. Facing the future, science education for teenagers should be based on inquiry.


As a biological term, "root" is an important organ of plants, which is mainly responsible for absorbing water and minerals, fixing plants and storing nutrients. Its morphological structure can be changed according to plant species and growth environment. In the Chinese culture, which highly values understanding things, "root" has long gone beyond its original meaning and has multiple meanings such as root, root, root cause and basis. No matter how complicated and ever-changing things are, only by nourishing their roots and guarding their foundations can they be deeply rooted and endless. Science education for primary and middle school students should conform to children’s cognitive characteristics, care for their innate curiosity and imagination, and help them appreciate the wonderful fun of observing, thinking and experimenting like scientists. Only in this way can the seeds of scientific innovation take root in their hearts and grow wantonly, and then become a habit and a state of life. Inquiry is not only a way of learning, but also a scientific attitude, and it is also an innovative quality, which indicates that learners gain happiness, satisfaction and sense of accomplishment in learning, scientific research and creation through self-attempt, thus laying a solid foundation for lifelong enthusiasm for scientific exploration. Inquiry is of great value to science education. The inquiry characteristics of science education are fully demonstrated in a multi-level sense.


One is the premise of the experiment. Experiments in science education must be based on inquiry. Without the examination and discussion of phenomena and previous experience, the birth of research problems lacks cognitive basis and theoretical basis. Inquiry, as the premise of experiment, is often manifested as questioning and questioning. In the process of questioning and questioning, everyone can express their opinions and brainstorm, so that new ideas can be generated and the experimental direction can be clarified. As the saying goes, "the trace of suspicion must be observed", only by finding the driving problem that is really worth exploring and investigating, and roughly clarifying the ins and outs, can we preset the solution to the problem and start the scientific experiment pointing to new discoveries and inventions. Science education is guided by questions, and starts from questioning and exploring.


The second is the learning content. Inquiry does not lie in science education, but stays at the entrance of science education, but advances with science education and becomes a part of science education content. Because the purpose of science education is to "guide students to participate in inquiry practice extensively, combine learning with thinking, entertain and entertain, consciously acquire scientific knowledge, cultivate scientific spirit, improve scientific quality … and weave the dream of becoming a scientist". Guiding students to think, explore and solve problems like scientists is the natural move and practical action of science education.


The third is the way of thinking. If inquiry, as an experimental premise or learning content, is separated from science educators to some extent, then from the perspective of thinking mode, inquiry is really integrated into teaching wisdom. In the design of science education teaching scheme, teachers’ inquiry thinking can’t be absent. On the basis of insight into the learning situation and analysis of problems, teachers can correctly preset various problems that may occur in the experiment and explore solutions. Only in the process of implementation can they meet the river and bridge the ladder, leading students to the other side of science. As the saying goes, "those who teach, grow good and save those who lose", "what is done above, what is done below". When teachers implement science education with inquiry thinking, students will acquire inquiry thinking through immersion experience.


The fourth is the necessary character. The cultivation of scientific literacy is indispensable to interrogation and reflection on existing cognitive schemes and investigation and identification of existing facts. It is an essential feature and character of science education to bring interrogation, reflection and investigation into the thinking process and integrate it into the content of science education. In other words, inquiry is the internal need of the implementation of science education and the driving force for the promotion of science education. Without inquiry, there is no real science education; If we don’t plant the roots of inquiry, it will be difficult to see the effectiveness of science education.


Inquiry contains the spirit of reflection, experiment and identification, which has both negative actions and constructive pursuit. Exploration in a complete sense is the dialectical unity of cracking and constructing, denying and affirming, keeping right and innovating. Healthy, active and scientific exploration should strive to achieve the unity of the following aspects.


The first is the unity of scientific inquiry and value inquiry. Scientific inquiry is an inquiry based on facts, in order to pursue the truth and help to establish the truth. It combs and examines the existing cognition and scheme based on the facts or conditions that have been presented, so as to reveal the essence of things and find the law of things’ operation under the conditions of teaching experiments. Value inquiry is an inquiry based on belief, the pursuit of meaning and the establishment of spirit. Based on the value judgment of rejuvenating the country through science and education and cultivating people through virtue, it discriminates and chooses the existing education and teaching ideas, so as to provide direction and adjust the thinking and behavior of teachers and students and clarify the goal of individual growth. The two are not independent, and scientific inquiry contains the content of value inquiry, and value inquiry must also take scientific inquiry as a reference.


The second is the unity of students’ inquiry and teachers’ inquiry. Guiding students to explore and demonstrating existing knowledge and related experiments is an indispensable link and content of scientific literacy cultivation. But at the same time, this process also needs the follow-up of teachers’ inquiry, that is, to constantly revise, enrich and improve their teaching plans and learning scaffolding in response to students’ questions. Students’ inquiry and teachers’ inquiry in science education are closely related. Only emphasizing students’ inquiry while ignoring teachers’ inquiry, science education will inevitably fall into dogma and rigidity, and cannot effectively deal with students’ problems and challenges.


The third is the unity of cognitive inquiry and fact inquiry. The inquiry of science education itself presents as a cognitive inquiry, which includes the doubt and construction of cognition, the exploration and experience of scientific thinking, scientific attitude and scientific spirit, but the inquiry of cognitive concepts cannot be regarded as the whole of science education. Fact inquiry and material inquiry are the transformation, change and innovation of existing things, and their significance is also extraordinary. Although cognitive inquiry is helpful to the transformation of reality, it can’t replace practical strength and material strength after all. Only in fact inquiry, by transforming matter with practice, can the endogenous energy of inquiry be fully released.


Cultivating young people who have the potential of scientists and are willing to devote themselves to scientific research, and laying a solid foundation for building a socialist modern power in an all-round way, can not be separated from the practice and innovation of science education. Science education needs to strengthen the consciousness of inquiry, attach importance to cultivating inquiry thinking, and make inquiry an internal driving force to support students’ lifelong curiosity, continuous exploration and invention.

China Education News, March 28th, 2024, 7th edition. 

Qinhuangdao responded to the Pakistani Railway Project: signed an agreement, and the cooperation period ended at the end of this month.

  Located in the R&D and production base of Batie project in Zhoukou, Henan Province, there is no sign of construction in the project with an investment of 10 billion yuan. The once declared "the first Batie rolled off the assembly line in 2017" is still a question mark.

  ▲ On August 2nd, the comprehensive test of Batie No.1 test vehicle was launched in Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, which triggered public doubts.

  The road occupation test caused three major doubts. Lawyers said that fundraising was suspected of misleading and cheating.

  Recently, "Batie" has been questioned by public opinion after being tested in Beidaihe District, Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province. There are three main questions: whether the project is approved by the government, whether the fund raising is legal and whether the technology is feasible. The reporter visited the Batie test site and interviewed relevant persons of Batie Technology Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Batie Technology) and relevant government departments.

  Is private placement illegal?

  "The fundraising during the trial period is suspected of fraud"

  According to media reports, Huaying Group Co., Ltd., Beijing Huaying Gloria Asset Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Huaying Gloria), Batie Technology and China Construction Enterprise United Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Zhongjianlian) are all related to Bai Zhiming, and their relationship is complicated. It is suspected that they are involved in improper use of funds.

  According to media reports, it is not clear whether the "Batie" project can land, and it has already sold wealth management projects to raise funds, suspecting that it is suspected of illegal fund-raising. Bi Danlong, the legal director of Batie Science and Technology, said that the company’s funds are mainly funded by shareholders and raised by private equity funds. Bai Zhiming said that he is the chairman of Huaying Group and Huaying Gloria, the latter is a subsidiary of the former. Huaying Group purchased Song Youzhou’s Batie technology patent and established Batie Technology; Bai Zhiming is a shareholder and supervisor of Batie Technology, and has not held the position of chairman. China Construction Union is the independent guarantor of Huaying Gloria. Bai Zhiming said that the "Batie" project raised a total of 104.7 million yuan. Among them, Bai Zhiming, as a shareholder, invested 40 million yuan and entrusted Beijing Tianer Investment Fund Management Co., Ltd. to issue two private equity funds, aiming at people with investment ability and anti-risk ability, with 1 million investments and annualized income of 12%. The first phase raised 22.8 million, and the second phase raised 41.9 million. The use of funds is the expenses of more than 100 people in Batie Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. and the expenses of vehicle manufacturing and road construction in the early stage.

  According to the reporter’s inquiry on asset management association of china website, all the fund update information managed by Beijing Tianer Investment Fund Management Co., Ltd. was in January this year, and the status was "in operation".

  The reporter saw on the website of the Ministry of Civil Affairs that in the fourth batch of "offshore associations" and "cottage associations" published by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, "China Construction Enterprise Federation" was among them, and Bai Zhiming had previously served as the president of the association. The reporter called the "Director’s Mailbox" of the Beijing Financial Work Bureau. The staff who answered the phone said that the blacklist of cracking down on illegal fund-raising had not been publicized, and it was impossible to judge whether Huaying Gloria was suspected of illegal fund-raising. Li Hongji, a partner of Beijing Tongshang Law Firm, said that the irrationality of fundraising for the "Batie" project is that the project is still in the experimental period and far from application. Under such circumstances, it is misleading and deceptive to raise funds and promise an annualized rate of return of 12%. However, it is necessary to analyze the use of private equity funds whether there is cheating, which is naturally unknown to outsiders. Gu Liaohai, a partner of Beijing Liaohai Law Firm, said that among the enterprises around Batie, many companies are related to the same person. Although there is no clear violation of the law, it will cause the risk of related party transactions and need to attract the attention of investors and regulators.

  Is the project approved by the government?

  "We have a framework agreement with the government"

  According to media reports, the relevant departments in Qinhuangdao City and Beidaihe District do not understand the "Batie" project. Bai Zhiming, a supervisor and shareholder of Batie Technology, told Xinhua that the local government in Hebei knew about this matter: "We have a signing intention and a framework agreement with the government." Li yani, assistant to the chairman of Batie Technology, told the reporter that the company signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Qinhuangdao Municipal Government and a project cooperation agreement with the Beidaihe District Government. The content was to set up an experimental line of 1 km in Beidaihe, but it was adjusted to 300 meters because of unsatisfactory road conditions. The agreement also includes the construction of a 10-kilometer demonstration line, and the subsequent 120-kilometer line is also under planning.

  The reporter contacted the Propaganda Department of Qinhuangdao Municipal Committee and the Propaganda Department of Beidaihe District on reaching an agreement with Batie Company. Subsequently, the staff of Beidaihe News Center contacted the reporter and said that they were entrusted by the Propaganda Department of Qinhuangdao Municipal Committee to reply by email. According to the mail, Qinhuangdao has been trying to solve the traffic congestion problem because of its dense traffic during the tourist season. In April this year, the Qinhuangdao Municipal People’s Government signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Batie Technology to build a research and development center for Batie project in Qinhuangdao. In July, Qinhuangdao Municipal Government and Batie Technology selected some sections of Fumin Road in Station Village of Beidaihe District as the "Batie" test line. Batie Technology mainly carries out track paving, temporary platform construction, model test vehicle assembly and trial operation, and temporary assembly warehouse construction. The cooperation period ends on August 31, 2016, and will be negotiated separately after the trial operation expires. During the cooperation period, the test line section of Fumin Road, Station Village, Beidaihe District will be provided to Batie Technology for free. After the trial operation period, according to the agreement, the company needs to repair the pavement as it is.

  Is the technology feasible?

  "It is difficult to achieve"

  Some media believe that "Batie" has some problems, such as large volume, heavy weight, difficult turning, difficult escape for passengers, and oppressive feeling for vehicles passing by at the bottom. Cheng Shidong, director of the Urban Transportation Office of the Comprehensive Transportation Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that from a technical point of view, it is difficult to realize the concept of "Batie". First of all, "Batie" is heavy and has a high center of gravity, so it is easy to roll over. Secondly, "Batie" requires high road width. Even if the road surface is wide enough, "Batie" is limited by the height of the bridge. Thirdly, based on the width of the track, the turning radius of "Batie" is bound to be very large, and there are certain risks for vehicles under "Batie" to pass when turning. Fourthly, Batie is not suitable for most road intersections because of its large turning radius, which is of little significance in solving the traffic congestion problem at road intersections.

  Visit Batie Henan R&D and Production Base

  Billion projects are overgrown with weeds

  The reporter visited the R&D and production base of Batie project in Zhoukou, Henan Province, and found that the project with a planned investment of 10 billion yuan showed no signs of construction, and the procedures such as land and environmental assessment were still incomplete. The once declared "the first Batie rolled off the assembly line in 2017" is still a question mark.

  After the land acquisition, construction has never started.

  On the side of a newly-built highway named Batie Avenue in Zhoukou Port Logistics Industry Cluster (hereinafter referred to as "Zhoukou Port Area"), hundreds of acres of land surrounded by white walls are overgrown with weeds, and stones are scattered in the grass. Some people are herding sheep to graze in the wall. In the middle area without weeds, a newly dug pit with a diameter of about 10 meters suddenly appeared, and several children were climbing up and down.

  Residents of villagers’ groups around Sunzhuang, Wangzhuang and Shengying introduced that this area used to be a wheat field. This year, Tomb-Sweeping Day received a notice of land acquisition, and the villagers received a land compensation of 57,400 yuan for an acre of land. However, in the past few months, construction has never started.

  Unsigned contract lays the foundation stone first.

  In December 2015, Zhoukou Port signed a contract with China Huaying Group to cooperate with the Pakistani Railway Project. Zhao Wanjun, director of Zhoukou Port Management Committee, introduced that the total investment of the project is 10 billion yuan, with 300 mu of land for the first phase and more than 1,000 mu for the third phase, to build a Batie production and research base. According to the plan, the first Batie rolled off the assembly line in Zhoukou in 2017, with an annual output of 1,000 vehicles after normal production. "At present, the progress is a bit backward, the land listing time is not long, the environmental assessment has not been approved, and the procedures have not been completed." Du Guangxian, member of the Party Committee of Zhoukou Port Area, said. Zhoukou City Land Management Service Center introduced that on July 14th, a piece of state-owned construction land of about 281 mu in the port area was won by Batie Technology Development Co., Ltd., registered in Beijing. The map shows that the reporter saw the overgrown area. The transaction price was more than 42 million yuan, and a confirmation letter for the transaction of industrial land was signed. According to the online trading system of land and resources in Henan Province, Batie Technology Development Co., Ltd. paid a deposit of 21 million yuan on July 13th.

  However, Xia Chao, a staff member of the Land Use Section of Zhoukou City Land and Resources Bureau, said that the land has not yet signed a transaction contract. According to the relevant regulations, industrial land should generally sign the transaction contract within 6 months after receiving the transaction confirmation, during which the procedures of project establishment and environmental assessment should be completed. "We don’t know if it is a Pakistani railway project." Xia Chao said that as a land use department, we only know who delisted when the other party signed the transaction contract. "According to our understanding, the groundbreaking ceremony cannot be held before the transaction contract is signed."

  No patent certificate after cooperation

  According to public reports, on July 19th, the foundation stone laying ceremony was held for the Batie Project in Zhoukou Port Area. Du Guangxian explained that at that time, in order to urge the project to advance. The reporter learned that at the end of 2013, a local person in Zhoukou found the port management Committee and said that there was a transportation project. The port area sent people to Beijing to inspect and met Song Youzhou, the inventor of Batie, and learned that he had obtained a national patent. In 2015, Song Youzhou informed the port area that Huaying Group bought out the patent, and since then, the two sides have started intensive cooperation, but until the strategic cooperation agreement was signed, the port area did not see the relevant patent certificate.

  According to the plan of Batie Science and Technology Development Company, the project will start construction at the end of this year, and it can be officially put into production within one year, with an annual output value of 5 billion to 10 billion yuan, which can attract 1,000 to 2,000 people to work. The economic and social benefits are obvious, which is very attractive to the local government. Zhoukou Port Area was established in 2013, with an escrow area of more than 40 square kilometers. At present, Batie is the largest project.

Over 15,000 construction sites in Guangdong have resumed work, and the resumption rate of key projects has reached 93%.

  According to the Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, by deepening the reform of the examination and approval system for engineering construction projects, enterprises in the housing and construction sector in the province have resumed their work and production.

  As of March 23, 15,746 construction sites in the province have resumed work, with a resumption rate of 85.4%. Among them, 4,184 provincial and municipal key housing projects, including epidemic prevention and control, urban operation, and basic people’s livelihood, have resumed work, with a resumption rate of 93% for key projects.

  Multi-measures to improve the efficiency of examination and approval of engineering construction projects

  Previously, many construction enterprises in the province were greatly affected by the epidemic. On the basis of Guangdong’s "Several Policies and Measures for Supporting Enterprises to Resume Work and Production in Response to Pneumonia Infected in novel coronavirus", the Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued 10 measures to benefit enterprises, provide good service for returning workers, ensure the supply of protective materials and building materials, and strengthen financial "escort" to bring a "timely rain" to construction enterprises.

  At the same time, the office of the leading group for the reform of the examination and approval system of provincial engineering construction projects requires that all localities help enterprises to resume work and production through a number of reform measures. On the one hand, we will speed up the improvement of the examination and approval management system for construction projects, do a good job in the interconnection of various platforms, give full play to the advantages of online examination and approval of the examination and approval system for construction projects, and implement "online" and "fingertip" approval for construction projects.

  At the same time, we will implement "appointment office" and encourage "nearby office", and make "appointment office" through online, telephone and email for some examination and approval items of engineering construction projects that really need to be handled at the physical hall site, and encourage qualified areas to implement "nearby office".

  In particular, it is also required to vigorously implement the approval notification commitment system. For matters subject to the notification commitment system for examination and approval, the deadline for submission of materials agreed in the undertaking can be made up in principle after the end of the epidemic.

  In addition, for special projects of epidemic prevention and control, we should do a good job in service guarantee, such as special construction projects such as public health service houses and supporting facilities needed for epidemic prevention, and implement special services and active services, and establish a one-stop green channel for parallel approval of the whole chain and approval within a limited time.

  Simplify the examination and approval process to ensure the start of major projects

  The reform of examination and approval of engineering construction projects requires that the whole process of examination and approval should be simplified, the examination and approval process should be optimized, the bill of materials should be reduced, and finally the time should be shortened. This time coincides with the impact of the epidemic, and such streamlining is even more urgent. Many cities in the province have put forward innovative measures.

  In Zhuhai, the land urgently needed for epidemic prevention and control can be used first according to the plan. Among them, there are special requirements for site selection, and it is really necessary to occupy permanent basic farmland and ecological protection red line, which is regarded as a major project to allow occupation, and outdoor requirements such as permanent basic farmland occupation and field reconnaissance are temporarily cancelled; If permanent land is needed, the relevant land use and planning procedures shall be completed according to the actual land use within 6 months after the outbreak is lifted.

  Maoming City has speeded up the emergency of epidemic prevention and control and the urgent need for approval of industrial resumption. For those involving multi-department approval, it only takes one day from receipt to issuance of construction permits for large projects such as Junmingcheng Project, Dafatang Village Demolition and Resettlement Housing Construction Project, Blu-ray Yongjin Peninsula Project and Maoming Baolitianhuan Project.

  Shaoguan City implements the "notification commitment system" for the construction projects affected by the epidemic, and arranges special personnel to intervene in the project plan review in advance. Jiangmen City supports epidemic prevention and control construction projects to use land first, fully guarantees the land use index of epidemic prevention and control projects, and implements the "tolerance and acceptance" mechanism for approval materials.

  During the epidemic, several cities have also established and improved relevant management systems for online examination and approval of construction projects, and launched online examination and approval offices to avoid crowd gathering and improve examination and approval efficiency.

  Foshan City relies on the integrated platform of examination and approval management of engineering construction projects, and all projects are declared, approved and technically reviewed online in the whole process. The construction unit only needs to fill in "a form" and submit "a set of materials". From January 26th to March 12th, a total of 249 engineering construction projects were declared paperless online.

  In Huizhou, due to the epidemic situation and traffic control, the staff of several construction projects could not return to their posts on time, which seriously affected the examination and approval. As a result, the approval is organized in a "cloud office" and way. On February 12th, the planning and construction headquarters of Baihua Town New Materials Industrial Park in Huidong County held a remote video conference to convene technical teams from Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to study the planning of the industrial park and promote the karst and geological investigation and seismic safety evaluation of the industrial park.

  Optimizing examination and approval service to facilitate enterprises to handle it.

  In addition to various reform measures, several cities also optimized approval services during the epidemic. At present, all localities are constantly improving the comprehensive service window for the examination and approval of engineering construction projects, doing a good job of online and offline integration with the examination and approval management system of urban engineering construction projects, basically realizing "one network to run", establishing and improving the green examination and approval channel, and constantly promoting innovative services such as agency.

  33 agents of Foshan configuration project provide services for 95 key projects; The two-level administrative service centers in Zhongshan Town provide "non-stop service on weekends" and provide free agency services for the whole process of approval and construction application for key enterprise projects and construction projects. Chao ‘an District of Chaozhou City has also set up an entrusted service area, and sent special personnel to provide pre-service for projects involving the production of materials needed for epidemic prevention and control. In addition, Zhuhai, Shaoguan and other cities organized party member cadres to dock key construction projects, deliver policies, services and coordinate protective materials.

  Digital Guangdong Company is responsible for the development, construction and operation and maintenance of provincial and most urban engineering construction project approval management systems, and provides "7×24 hours" safety operation and maintenance, system operation answering and business data reporting during the epidemic period to ensure the normal operation of the engineering construction project approval management system.

  In addition, various localities have also adopted the commitment system to simplify the procedures for enterprises to resume work and production as much as possible. At present, the construction enterprises in all parts of the province have basically realized the "settlement of the application for resumption of work", that is, the same day of application, the same day of handling, the same day of filing, and the same day of resumption of work, and the construction enterprises that have put in place epidemic prevention measures and actively fulfilled their obligations to resume work are given credit points and other rewards. For example, if Shenzhen implements "return to work first, then check", the enterprise will make good preparations for epidemic prevention, and after meeting the conditions for returning to work and submitting the filing form and commitment letter, it will organize its own return to work and resume production, and the relevant government departments will visit the site to check the implementation of epidemic prevention measures in due course. Zhuhai provides 24-hour policy consultation and answering services, helping to handle more than 2,000 requests for enterprises to resume work and production. Meizhou City has introduced relevant measures to warm up enterprises, which can help enterprises solve practical problems from the aspects of delaying the payment of special maintenance funds for residential buildings, relaxing the retention ratio of pre-sale supervision funds and increasing the number of withdrawals.

  Interpretation of Evaluation Index System (2012-2015)


  A national meteorological consciousness

  A1 meteorological knowledge penetration rate

  A11 Meteorological knowledge penetration rate

  The proportion of the public who can correctly understand and use meteorological information and avoid meteorological disasters reflects the popularity of meteorological popular science knowledge among the local public. The index data is collected by random survey method. In order to reflect the comprehensiveness of the survey data, this item makes survey statistics on urban and rural residents respectively. The specific calculation method is meteorological knowledge penetration rate of urban residents × urban population ratio+rural residents meteorological knowledge penetration rate × rural population ratio, where the meteorological knowledge penetration rate of urban (or rural) residents is the ratio of the number of urban (or rural) respondents with relevant meteorological knowledge to the total number of urban (or rural) respondents.

  A2 Meteorological knowledge awareness

  A21 Meteorological knowledge awareness

  An index reflecting the public’s ability to know, understand and apply meteorological information and knowledge, such as weather forecast and early warning, meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation, and response to climate change. The index data is collected by a random survey method, and the specific algorithm is L=(L1+L2+L3+L4+L5)/5, where L is the awareness of meteorological knowledge, L1 is the public’s awareness of weather forecast and early warning signals, and L2 is the public’s awareness of ways to obtain weather forecast and early warning information.

New york broke the grading restrictions and allowed minors to watch "Adele"


Blue Is the Warmest ColorOpen the door to minors

    Movie network news MPAA (American Film Association) rated this year’s Cannes Palme d ‘Or film as NC-17 (that is, restricted, minors are not allowed to watch it), because there are a lot of sex scenes in the film, but this did not prevent new york students and teenagers from entering the cinema to watch the film — — Someone made an exception and opened the back door for them.
 
    It is reported that The IFC Center in Greenwich, new york, despite MPAA’s advice, opened its doors to boys and girls under the age of 17 and welcomed them to watch Adele’s Life. A·O· Scott, a The New York Times reporter who reported this story, said that his 14-year-old daughter had seen the film here twice.
 
    "This is not a movie for children," said the manager of IFC, "but according to our judgment, it is not inappropriate to allow mature and curious minors to watch it. Like adults, they will face emotional challenges and opportunities. "
 
    In view of the fact that there are about 15 minutes of same-sex sex sex scenes in the film, no one questions the classification of NC-17. However, the classification of MPAA only serves as a suggestion, which has long been used by American cinemas as a standard, but it has no legal effect. However, there are still a few people who openly challenge the grading like IFC. It can only be said that Adele’s Life has a good reputation to support it.
 
    In France, the country of production, Life of Adele is rated as "12", which means that anyone over 12 can watch it in the cinema, which is one of the most relaxed areas. Recently, however, there have been negative voices. An art theater in Idaho, USA, called for boycotting the film because it "violated the law on liquor sales".
 
    The Life of Adele is adapted from the French cartoon "Blue is the Warmest Tone", with abdel kechiche, who has been shortlisted for the Golden Lion Award for three times, as the director and Léa Seydoux and adele exarchopoulos as the stars. The film won rave reviews, scored the highest score of 3.6 points in the history of Cannes Film Festival, and finally won the highest award & the Palme d ‘Or — — Although it is regarded as the largest lesbian-themed film, although the film is as long as three hours, and the chairman of the jury is conservative Steven Allan Spielberg, its award shows that the film is shocking enough.
 
    Adele’s Life will continue to be shown at IFC Center in new york from this Friday.

Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development: We should continue to consolidate the stabilization and recovery of the real estate market.

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 27th (Reporter Wang Youling, Pan Jie) Ni Hong, Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said at a recent enterprise forum that it is necessary to continue to consolidate the trend of stabilization and recovery of the real estate market, vigorously support the demand for rigid and improved housing, and further implement policies and measures such as reducing the down payment ratio and loan interest rate for the first home purchase, reducing taxes and fees for the purchase of improved housing, and "repaying the house without repaying the loan" for personal housing loans. Continue to do a good job in ensuring the delivery of buildings, speed up the delivery of project construction, and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of the people.

  The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development said that stabilizing the two pillars of the construction industry and the real estate industry plays an important role in promoting the economic recovery. It is necessary to take industrialization, digitalization and greening as the direction, vigorously promote the sustained and healthy development of the construction industry, and give full play to the positive role of the construction industry in promoting investment, stabilizing growth and ensuring employment.

  At the symposium, the leaders of eight state-owned and private enterprises from the fields of construction, construction technology and real estate made key speeches, analyzed the current situation and trend of industry development in combination with the actual production and operation of enterprises, expressed their real feelings about the implementation of relevant policies, and put forward policy suggestions to promote the healthy development of the industry.

  The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development said that it is necessary to adhere to systematic thinking and concerted efforts to solve problems encountered in development through scientific and technological innovation and institutional innovation. It is necessary to deepen the structural reform of the housing supply side, strengthen the empowerment of science and technology, improve the quality of housing, and build a "good house" for the people. It is hoped that construction enterprises and real estate enterprises will actively participate in the construction of affordable housing, the transformation of urban villages and the construction of "flat and emergency" public infrastructure to promote the transformation and upgrading of enterprises and high-quality development.

Longji Green Energy Zhong Baoshen: It is suggested to formulate the development plan of rural green buildings.

  BEIJING, Beijing, March 3 (Reporter Alina) "Rural revitalization is not only a rapid economic development, but also a green and low-carbon development to meet the villagers’ expectations for a better life." Zhong Baoshen, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairman of Longji Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Longji Green Energy), said in an interview recently that it is suggested to formulate rural green building development plans and implementation plans to "set off" the "green trend" of new rural buildings and help rural low-carbon development.

  Longji Green Energy has been committed to the research and development and application of solar photovoltaic industry for a long time. Zhong Baoshen has "deeply cultivated" the field of new energy and has his own views on the application and development of new energy.

  "The development of low-carbon life has become a consensus at present, but in the promotion of green buildings, most of the new rural buildings are traditional buildings, and the proportion of green buildings is low." After careful investigation and visit, Zhong Baoshen believes that the development planning and implementation plan of rural green buildings are still relatively weak.

  As a new energy R&D and application enterprise, Longji Green Energy is constantly trying to expand the application scenarios of photovoltaic in rural areas. In 2017, distributed photovoltaic power stations were built on the roofs of 544 village clinics in Guyuan, Ningxia, using clean energy technology to solve the problem of heating in winter in rural areas, and the grassroots village clinics were transformed from coal-fired stoves to solar power generation heating.

  Household photovoltaic, village-level power station and distributed agricultural greenhouse power station & HELIP; … In recent years, Longji Green Energy has integrated agricultural biomass and rural tourism into photovoltaic application scenarios. When photovoltaic industry is organically combined with green industries such as rural agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, it also promotes the transformation and upgrading of agricultural industry and the improvement of rural living environment.

  "We believe that the photovoltaic industry and green buildings have broader application scenarios." Zhong Baoshen said that in the green building planning, the environmental advantages and economic advantages of photovoltaic building integration can be fully considered. I also expect the photovoltaic industry to contribute to the goal of double carbon.

  "I will continue to pay attention to the low-carbon development in rural areas and the promotion and construction of green buildings in rural areas." Zhong Baoshen said that he hoped that while the villagers were getting rich, beautiful countryside would also have a steady stream of "green" kinetic energy for sustainable development. (End)

Is your newspaper collection worth anything? These five points can tell you!

If you like collecting newspapers, you may wonder whether your newspaper collection is worth anything. This involves many factors. Here we will discuss this topic and introduce five points you need to know.

The first point is the publication date of the newspaper.Generally speaking, the earlier the newspaper, the higher its value. For example, a newspaper in The New York Times on September 3rd, 1939 can be worth several hundred dollars, while a newspaper in The New York Times on September 3rd, 2009 is only worth several dollars. Therefore, if you collect early newspapers, they are likely to be valuable.

The second point is the content of the newspaper.Some special events, people or articles in the newspaper may affect the value of the newspaper. For example, if you have a The New York Times that reported Lincoln’s assassination, it is likely to be valuable. Similarly, if you have a St. Louis Post that reports the death of Mark Twain, its value will be higher.

The third point is the layout of the newspaper.The layout of some newspapers is very unique or has an important position in history. Such newspapers are often more valuable than ordinary newspapers in the collection market. For example, some newspapers use unique colors and typesetting designs, and these newspapers are likely to sell at high prices in the market.

The fourth point is the rarity of newspapers.If a newspaper is hard to find, its value will be high. For example, if you have a newspaper about President Roosevelt’s announcement that the United States entered World War II, its value will be higher because it is hard to find.

The last point is the preservation state of the newspaper.If a newspaper is well preserved without any damage, its value will be higher. If a newspaper is creased, torn or stained, its value will be reduced accordingly.

After summing up these points, we can draw a conclusion that your newspaper collection may be very valuable, but it may also be worth only a few cents. If you want to know whether your newspaper is valuable or not, you need to consider the above five factors.

  Block printing is one of the main printing methods of books in the history of China, and it is called "living fossil" in the history of printing. In Hanying Village, Caiyu Town, Daxing District, the ancient skills of block printing and thread-bound book binding have come from history and have been passed down to this day.

  Hanying Village is located at the southernmost tip of Daxing. The factory of Beijing Huayizhai Ancient Books Printing Co., Ltd. is a large compound with simple and spacious workshops. There are no large printing machines and binding machines in modern printing factories. What you see are pieces of wooden woodcuts engraved with historical marks, piles of plain white and fine rice paper, and book-bound books on the shelves. Here, it’s like riding a time machine back to the ancient book printing workshop in history. All the ancient books that "walk" out from here are printed by hand and bound by thread. This printing factory in the suburbs of Beijing seems ordinary, but it is scattered with the ink of ancient books, recreating the glory of this ancient skill. Ren Baoquan, the general manager of Beijing Huayizhai Ancient Books Printing Co., Ltd. and the fourth generation non-genetic inheritor, enthusiastically introduced their main business. After listening to him, people felt more and more that this ancient skill won glory for our country and glory in international exchanges.

  On September 18th, 2021, five batches of representative lists of municipal intangible cultural heritage were approved.

  Up to now, it also undertakes the printing and binding business of thread-bound ancient books in many large libraries and museums across the country. Yongle Dadian, Qianlong tripitaka, Dunhuang suicide note, catalogue of Si Ku Quan Shu, Ten Bamboo Grottoes Notes, Rare Books of Chinese Reproduction, Legend of Hongxue karma … All the famous names in ancient books have been "reborn" here. In Ren Baoquan’s words, "60% to 70% of the country’s ancient book engravings have been here."

  Engraving and printing technology was invented in the 7th century AD, and it once had a glorious stage in history. The book of Song Dynasty was once called "a page of gold" by historians. Darani Jing, which was printed by block printing in China, was engraved between 704 and 751, and it is the earliest block printing known at present. The Diamond Sutra, which is now collected in the British Museum in the 9th year of Tang Xiantong (868), was created by Wang Jun for his second parents. It is the most complete printed engraving with a date in China. This printed engraving is exquisite, skillful in knife cutting, thick and well-balanced in ink color, simple and dignified in graphics and text, and clear and distinct, which shows that the printing technology of engraving in China has reached a high level.

  After entering the 9th century, engraving and printing technology has been widely used in China. During the Five Dynasties, not only did the folk engrave books, but the government also engraved Confucian books on a large scale. According to records, from the third year of Changxing in Tang Mingzong (932) to the third year of Guangshun in the later Zhou Dynasty (953), 130 volumes of Nine Classics, Five Classics and Nine Classics were engraved. In the Song Dynasty, the development of block printing technology reached a new height, and the technology was perfected, and movable type printing was invented. However, block printing was not completely replaced by movable type printing, and it still occupied an important position in the printing industry in ancient China, especially in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, Jianyang, Fujian Province and Chengdu, Sichuan Province. In the fourth year of Song Taizu Kaibao (971), Zhang Tu-xin carved and published all the Tripitaka in Chengdu, which took 22 years, including 1,076 books and 5,048 volumes, and there were as many as 130,000 engravings, which was the largest book in the early printing history. The Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties basically inherited the engraving and printing technology of the Song Dynasty. There are not only officials at all levels, but also academies, bookstores and individuals engaged in engraving books, which are distributed in the classics, history, books and collections.

  Beijing Huayizhai Ancient Books Printing Co., Ltd. Ren Baoquan inherited the engraving, printing and thread-bound book binding skills, and its historical origin can be traced back to Furuntang. Furuntang was established in the 29th year of Guangxu (1903). The shopkeeper Wang Futian was from Shulu, Hebei Province. At the beginning of its opening, most of its business was related to books in the Qing Palace. In 1907, Dong Jinbang became an apprentice in the second-hand bookstore of Furuntang in Beijing, and was recognized as the first generation main inheritor of this skill.

  Ancient books are not only books for people to read, but also works of art that can be collected and gifts for friends, so the craftsmanship is very particular. Engraving, printing and thread-bound book binding skills are the condensation of several excellent traditional crafts of China, such as papermaking, inking, engraving and copying in China, which finally formed this unique cultural craft of China. At least 20 processes including writing, engraving, printing, folding, page matching, column alignment, cutting, corner wrapping, stitching, gluing, labeling, etc. The tools needed for engraving and printing and binding of newly printed ancient books with thread are writing brush, bristle brush, inkstone, ink, felt board, engraving, paper twisting, scissors, folding plate, etc. The styles of engraving and printing are mainly paper, fine folding, butterfly, gold inlaid jade and square book.

  Nowadays, except for the first writing process, which can be replaced by modern technology such as computer printing, the other processes need to be carried out manually. This manual work looks simple, but in fact it is very complicated in technology. Writing and publishing sample jargon on paper is called edition writing. After edition writing, it is necessary to correct it, check whether there are any mistakes in writing, and then carry out reverse extension after confirming that there are no problems.

  There are more than 20 kinds of books printed by Huayizhai engraving, such as Yongle Dadian, Tripitaka, Dunhuang suicide note and sample Lei Tudang. More than 10 kinds of printing plates are created by traditional methods every year. In addition to its own 500-square-meter exhibition hall for the intangible cultural heritage of Huayizhai, in recent years, it has participated in more than 100 exhibition activities such as the Beijing Cultural Fair and entering the community.

2019 Beijing Cultural Fair

The 70th Anniversary Achievement Exhibition of Daxing is a non-legacy experience activity.

  Ren Baoquan said, in fact, there are very few craftsmen among them who can carve woodcuts alone, and those who have this craft can only tinker with ancient woodcuts because there is no "work". Now, engraving and printing have entered the school classroom. After being rated as a district-level intangible cultural heritage in 2014, Ren Baoquan and old craftsmen began to walk into the characteristic school attached to Beiyin Primary School to explain this ancient skill to students and experience the unique charm of intangible culture.

  Ren Baoquan is planning to build his own engraving and printing museum-Huayizhai China Aiyin Academy. "I have more than 20,000 woodcuts, and the value of woodcuts lies in its cultural communication function. If it can’t spread culture, it’s just a pile of carved boards. Although it is carefully protected, it will eventually corrupt and disappear. Only by using them and printing books can their value be reflected. " Ren Baoquan said that his planned woodblock printing museum will show the whole process of woodblock printing and allow visitors to participate in the printing process. "I’m collecting pear boards used in block printing, inviting old craftsmen back, turning block printing into a cultural and creative industry, allowing people to truly experience the block printing technology and spread this cultural treasure of China." It is Ren Baoquan’s wish to pass on the skills of block printing and thread-bound book binding from generation to generation, and it is also widely expected.
