Four readings in spring

  Spring, spring, spring, spring rain, spring scenery, full of spring. There is a children’s song "spring, spring, where are you?" "Well sung: spring, spring, you are in the flowers’ smile; You are in the rain of spring rain; You are in the breeze; You are in children’s eyes. In spring, where are you? You’re in that life.

  Although cold air will pour down from the north to the south from time to time in spring, there is even a "cold spring" weather, which makes people feel that winter seems to be still there. However, this can’t change the dynamic characteristics that spring can thaw the earth, revive everything and renew everything.

  Therefore, in my opinion, in a year, spring is a thriving, full of vitality, the season that can best show vitality, and spring is a season that attracts people’s attention and is worth reading.

  First Reading of Spring: Spring First

  As we all know, people always start with "one"; Speaking of the four seasons, it always starts with "spring". It is common sense to sort spring, summer, autumn and winter in this way. We can also deeply understand the meaning of "headed by spring" in this way. Judging from the climate change of the four seasons, it begins with the warmth of spring, and only after experiencing the heat of summer does it transition to the coolness of autumn and the severe cold of winter. From the perspective of agricultural production, as the saying goes, spring crops in summer and autumn crops in winter. Without the seeds of spring, there would be no hoeing in summer, harvesting in autumn and hiding in winter!

  However, we should note that, just as people move in a circle at equal distances, it is impossible to tell who is the leader and who is the tail of the team. The earth revolves around the sun all the time, and it is not so easy to distinguish which is the first and which is the tail. Mr. Mao Dun said in the article Winter: "When spring is coming, there must be winter first." Shelley, an English poet, has a similar poem in ode to the west wind, which has been widely quoted for many years: "If winter comes, can spring be far behind?" The famous sentences of two famous artists tell us the fact that winter comes first and spring comes to the world after winter.

  Of course! All the year round, spring, summer, autumn and winter, has been used to it for many years, and the convention has become a custom. This is also similar to the "first frost" in the 24 solar terms. In fact, from a scientific point of view, the word "first frost" is incorrect, because frost does not fall from the sky. However, since ancient times, it has become a conventional term, so it has been used all the time.

  Second Reading of Spring: Spring is stupid

  Han Liu Xi’s Interpretation of the Name says: "Spring is stupid for words (chǔn), and things are stupid." "Stupid" means "spontaneous and dynamic" here. In spring, everything moves spontaneously and is born of movement, which is a natural instinct. In Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the ancestors used the image of the sun and grass to form the word "spring". Obviously, it can be said that spring is full of vitality and warmth; Spring is growth and lush vegetation. This shows that spring is a season in which everything germinates, and then flowers bloom and birds contend. The weather conditions of six solar terms in spring listed in Nong Sang Tong Ji are briefly summarized: beginning of spring: early weather, east wind thawing; Second, the sting insect begins to vibrate; Third, the fish is cold. The yang has moved, and the fish is getting upstream and close to the ice. Rain: at the beginning, the otter sacrifices the fish (at this time, the fish is fat, so the otter sacrifices first and then eats); Second, wait for Yanbei; Third, the vegetation is sprouting. Surprise: at the beginning, the peach begins to bloom; Second, Cang Geng Ming (Cang Geng, that is, Huang Li also); Third, the eagle turned into a dove. Vernal equinox: at the beginning, the mysterious birds arrive (that is, Yan lai also); Second, Lei Nai speaks; Third wait, start the electricity. Qingming: at the beginning, Tongshihua; Second, the vole turns into an owl (the owl sounds like quail). When the yang is strong, the rat turns into an owl, and when the yin is strong, the owl turns into a mouse. Wait three times, and the rainbow will see you. Grain Rain: At the beginning, Ping was born; Second, singing doves and feathers; Third, Dai Sheng descended on Sang (Dai Sheng, a bird). This indirectly and fully shows that Chinese ancestors have long realized that spring is a season that can show vitality most.

  The third reading of spring: the steps of spring scenery have successively.

  In order to interpret the footsteps of spring scenery, we must first explain the division methods of the four seasons, which are as follows.

  One is the division of astronomical seasons. From the astronomical phenomenon, the seasonal change is the seasonal change of the length of day and night and the height of the sun. In a year, the season with the longest day and the highest sun height is summer, the season with the shortest day and the lowest sun height is winter, and the transitional season between winter and summer is spring and autumn. As far as the northern hemisphere is concerned, the spring equinox (around March 21st), summer solstice (around June 21st), autumn equinox (around September 21st) and winter solstice (around December 21st) are the four seasons. Namely: the spring equinox to the summer solstice is spring, the summer solstice to autumn is summer, the autumn equinox to the winter solstice is autumn, and the winter solstice to spring is winter. For the convenience of statistics, people usually take March-May as spring, June-August as summer, September-November as autumn, and December to February of the following year as winter. Climate statistics also follow this pattern, and January, April, July and October are often regarded as representative months of winter, spring, summer and autumn.

  The second is the division of four seasons in ancient China. In our country, it is customary to divide the four seasons by lunar month. Spring is from January to March, summer is from April to June, autumn is from July to September, and winter is from October to December. The first day of the first month is the first day of the whole year and the first day of spring, so it is also called the Spring Festival. In addition, in ancient China, beginning of spring started as spring, long summer as summer, beginning of autumn as autumn and beginning of winter as winter.

  Although the above method of dividing the four seasons is simple and convenient, it has a common shortcoming, that is, all parts of the country enter the same season on the same day, which is very different from the actual situation in various regions of China. As far as spring is concerned, according to the division of astronomical seasons, March is already spring. At this time, the area south of the Yangtze River is really pink and green, and the spring is strong; People in Hainan Island have spent the summer wearing light clothes; Heilongjiang, on the other hand, is still cold and windy, ice and snow, and there is no spring. Therefore, in order to make the division of four seasons consistent with the natural scenes in various places, in the 1930s, Mr. Zhang Baokun proposed to divide the four seasons with the average temperature of five days as an index, which is called the division of four seasons with waiting temperature. Summer begins when the average climate temperature is stable above 22℃, winter begins when the average climate temperature is stable below 10℃, and spring and autumn when the average climate temperature is between 10 ~ 22℃. From 10℃ to 22℃ is spring, and from 22℃ to 10℃ is autumn. Therefore, such four seasons are called temperature four seasons.

  China has a vast territory, spanning more than 50 latitudes from north to south, and its geographical conditions are complex. Due to the differences in the north-south position and terrain, the specific date of spring arrival and the length of stay are different.

  According to the division of four seasons, generally speaking, there is no winter in the south of Fuzhou-Liucheng line and no summer in the north of Harbin. That is to say, there is no winter in South China south of Nanling, and it can be considered as the beginning of spring in the middle and late January. It should be pointed out that there is no winter, spring and autumn in the South China Sea Islands, but summer in all seasons. Most of the Jiangnan areas north of Nanling, namely Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Hunan, entered the spring in early March; The North China Plain will be in early April. As for the northeast, it will be delayed for almost another month. In late May, spring will come to Heilongjiang Province, the northernmost part of China.

  The specific time when spring comes has much to do with the terrain. For example, the Qinling Mountains, known as China’s climate demarcation line, has a great influence on this. Hanzhong, south of Qinling Mountains, has a bright spring in late March, but the horizontal distance from Hanzhong to Taibai Mountain is only over 100 kilometers, and Taibai and other places with an altitude of over 1,500 meters will be delayed for one month to feel the spring. For another example, due to the barrier of Tianshan Mountain, the Junggar Basin in northern Xinjiang only entered the spring in April, while the Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang blew a spring breeze in March. As for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is known as the "roof of the world", although most areas enter spring from April to May, it is one month later than that in Jiangnan, which is almost at the same latitude. As for the northern Tibet Plateau, even in the hottest month, it still cannot rise to the temperature in spring.

  Fourth Reading of Spring: Cherish the beauty of spring.

  Although the steps of spring scenery are successively, after spring arrival, spring scenery is everywhere. Turning to literary books and periodicals, there are not a few poems and prose works praising spring written by literati in past dynasties, which can be described as abundant spring poems. What I appreciate more is the comprehensive summary of the spring scenery in the world in the Jilin folk song "Song of Spring Day": "Spring water flows in the mountains in spring, and spring grass releases spring cattle in spring. Spring flowers bloom in the spring garden, and spring birds fall on the heads of spring trees. Spring students write spring characters, and the scenery in spring can really stay. " I think it should be added: "Spring shines in the world, and spring flowers bloom in my heart."

  As mentioned above, spring is very beautiful, but the days of staying are limited. Although spring almost comes to the world on time every year, spring is really precious.

  As we all know, "Chunhua Qiushi" is used to describe people’s literary talent and virtue, which means that they are knowledgeable and virtuous; It is also used to refer to the passage of time and the change of years. It is more used to describe the causal relationship of things. "Hua" is the same as "flower", which blooms in spring and bears fruit in autumn. It is extended to sweat and cultivate first, sow in time, and then have the joy of harvest. Others refer to "Chunhua" as youth and youth. It can be seen how beautiful and precious spring is!

  There are even famous sayings that people often quote, "A year’s plan lies in spring" and "A moment in spring is worth a thousand dollars". In the Song of the Year in the Ming Dynasty, Tang Bohu pointed out that "spring night is worth a thousand dollars a minute", but said that "I can’t buy it back with a thousand dollars" and "advised people to travel by candlelight at night". The above-mentioned "things are born stupid", that is, "moving spontaneously", actually means that animals and plants are busy nervously: they will never live up to this beautiful spring. As the highest creature, it is even more important for us not to waste this beautiful spring scenery, not to "I awake light-hearted this morning of spring", but to take active actions to "spring" ourselves in this season of "all loves can’t be caged", so as to make ourselves an "almond" that "comes out of the wall".

How much do you know about the origin and customs of Lantern Festival?

the Lantern Festival
Lantern Festival, also known as Shangyuan Festival, Xiaoyuanyian Festival, Yuanxi Festival or Lantern Festival, is the 15th day of the first lunar month every year, which is the last important festival in China Spring Festival. Lantern Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China, Chinese character cultural circle and overseas Chinese. The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar. The ancients called "night" "night", so the fifteenth day of the first full moon in a year is called the Lantern Festival.
In the ancient customs of China, Shangyuan Festival (Tianguan Festival), Zhongyuan Festival (Diguan Festival, Yulanben Festival) and Xiayuan Festival (Shuiguan Festival) are collectively called Sanyuan. The formation of Lantern Festival custom has a long process. According to general data and folklore, the fifteenth day of the first month has been paid attention to in the Western Han Dynasty. The activities of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to sacrifice "Taiyi" in Ganquan Palace on the night of the first month are regarded by later generations as the first sound of offering sacrifices to the gods on the fifteenth day of the first month. However, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month was really a folk festival after the Han and Wei Dynasties.
Since ancient times, the Lantern Festival custom has been dominated by the warm and festive custom of watching lanterns. Traditional customs include going out to enjoy the moon, burning lanterns and setting off flames, enjoying solve riddles on the lanterns, eating Yuanxiao together and pulling rabbit lanterns. In addition, in many places, traditional folk performances such as playing with dragon lanterns, playing with lions, walking on stilts, rowing dry boats, dancing yangko and playing Taiping drums have been added to the Lantern Festival.
In June 2008, the Lantern Festival was selected as the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage.
Origin of festivals
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, also known as Shangyuan Festival, Lantern Festival and Lantern Festival. The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar. The ancients called the night "Xiao", so they called the fifteenth day of the first month the Lantern Festival. The 15th day of the first month is the night of the first full moon in a year, and it is also the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. On the night in spring returns, people celebrate this and celebrate the continuation of the Spring Festival. Sima Qian founded taichu calendar, which listed the Lantern Festival as a major festival. Since the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties, it has been in full swing. "Sui Shu Musical Records" Day: "Every time in the first month, all nations come to Korea and stay in Jianguomen, outside Duanmen, until the 15th, which stretches for eight miles." Tens of thousands of people participated in singing and dancing, from faint to dull. With the changes of society and times, the customs of Lantern Festival have changed greatly, but it is still a traditional folk festival in China.
Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China, and the formation of Lantern Festival custom takes a long time. According to general data and folklore, the 15th day of the first month has been paid attention to in the Western Han Dynasty. The activity of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty offering sacrifices to the "Taiyi" in Ganquan Palace on the night of the first month is regarded by later generations as the forerunner of offering sacrifices to the gods on the 15th day of the first month. The introduction of Buddhist culture in the Eastern Han Dynasty is of great significance to the formation of the Lantern Festival custom.
Yuanxiao originally meant "the night of Shangyuan Festival", because the main activity of Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month was to eat glutinous rice balls and enjoy the moon at night, and later the name of the festival evolved into "Lantern Festival". On the night of Lantern Festival, the streets are decorated with lanterns, and people enjoy lanterns, solve riddles on the lanterns and eat Lantern Festival, which will push the celebration activities that began on New Year’s Eve to another climax and become a custom that lasts for generations. Yuanxiao was only called the 15th day of the first month, the first half of the first month or the full moon when the early festivals were formed, and it was called Yuanxi or Yuanye after Sui. Influenced by Taoism in the early Tang Dynasty, it was also called Shangyuan, and it was only in the late Tang Dynasty that it was occasionally called Yuanxiao. But it has also been called Dengxi since the Song Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, it was also called Lantern Festival. In foreign countries, Yuanxiao is also known as The Lantern Festiva.
Other legends
In memory of "Pinglu"
Legend has it that the Lantern Festival was set up in memory of Pinglu when Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty. After the death of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, Lv Hou’s son Liu Ying became Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty. Huidi was born weak and indecisive, and the power gradually fell into the hands of Lv Hou. After Emperor Huidi died, Lv Hou monopolized the state affairs and turned Liu’s world into Lu’s world. The old courtiers and Liu’s imperial clan were deeply indignant, but they were all afraid of Lv Hou’s cruelty and dared to speak out.
After Lv Hou’s death, Zhu Lv was in a state of anxiety, afraid of being hurt and excluded. So, they secretly assembled in the home of Lv Lu, the general in the world, and conspired to make an insurrection, so as to completely seize Liu Jiangshan. The matter reached the ears of Liu Xiang, the king of the imperial clan of Liu. In order to protect Liu Jiangshan, Liu Xiang decided to attack Zhu Lv and then got in touch with zhou bo and Chen Ping, the founding elders, and designed to lift Lv Lu. The "Zhu Lv Rebellion" was finally completely put down.
After the rebellion, all the ministers made Liu Heng, the second son of Liu Bang, ascend to the throne, calling him Emperor Wen. Deeply impressed by the hard-won peace and prosperity, Emperor Wen designated the 15th day of the first month to quell the "Zhulu Rebellion" as a fun day with the people, and every family in Beijing decorated with lanterns to celebrate. Since then, the fifteenth day of the first month has become a popular folk festival-"Lantern Festival".
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the sacrificial activities of "Taiyi God" were scheduled for the 15th day of the first month. Taiyi: the God who rules everything in the universe. When Sima Qian founded the "taichu calendar", he had identified the Lantern Festival as a major festival.
Torch Festival
Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China since ancient times. Lantern Festival viewing began with ancient people holding torches in rural fields to drive away insects and beasts, hoping to reduce pests and pray for a good harvest. To this day, people in some areas in southwest China still make torches out of reeds or branches on the fifteenth day of the first month, and hold them high in groups and dance in fields or grain drying fields. Since the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties, it has been in full swing. Tens of thousands of people took part in singing and dancing, from faint to dull. With the changes of society and times, the customs of Lantern Festival have changed greatly, but it is still a traditional folk festival in China.
"three-yuan theory"
The custom of burning lanterns in Lantern Festival originated from the Taoist "Sanyuan Theory". Shangyuan means the first full moon night in the new year. The origin of Shangyuan Festival is recorded in Miscellanies at the Age of Years, which is a Taoist stereotype. Taoism once called the fifteenth day of the first month of the year Shangyuan Festival, the fifteenth day of July as Zhongyuan Festival, and the fifteenth day of October as Xiayuan Festival, which were collectively called "Sanyuan". The gods worshipped by Wudou Midao, an important faction of Taoism at the end of Han Dynasty, were Tianguan, Diguan and Shuiguan. They said that heavenly god blesses the people, the Diguan pardoned sins and Shuiguan relieved Eritrea, and they matched three officials with three yuan, saying that Shangyuan Tianguan was born on the 15th of the first month, Zhongyuan Diguan was born on the 15th of July and Xiayuan Shuiguan was born on the 15th of October. In this way, the fifteenth day of the first month is called Shangyuan Festival. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Wu Zimu said in Dream Liang Lu: "On the fifteenth day of the first month, it is the day of heavenly god blesses the people in Shangyuan." Therefore, the lantern festival should be lit.
Ming Di respects Buddha.
Originated from Buddhism. This statement is mainly in "300 Topics of Social Customs" edited by Mr. Hu Shensheng: "In Buddhist teachings, the fire is compared to the mighty god of Buddha, and the Infinite Life Sutra has the statement that’ infinite flame shines on infinity’. In Buddhist teachings, the lamp has always been one of the offerings before the Buddha. Moreover, Buddhist classics have repeatedly publicized: "Repentance of a Thousand Lights", "Buddhist Scriptures", "The Best Light for the World" and "Infinite Life Sutra". Bright lights are needed in every Buddhist event. In Buddhist legends, the story of the Buddha’s transformation is related to the fifteenth lantern in the first month. According to "A Brief History of Monks", the Buddha Sakyamuni showed the change of gods and surrendered to demons on December 30 in the west, that is, on the 15th day of the first month of the first month in Dongtu. In order to commemorate the change of gods of Buddha, a lantern-burning ceremony was held on this day. When Emperor Hanming came to the East to preach, Morten Zhufalan ordered Emperor Hanming to light lanterns on the 15th day of the first month when the Buddha changed, and personally went to the temple to display lanterns to show his respect to the Buddha. Since then, Lantern Festival lanterns have become a common practice. " However, some scholars believe that this view is untenable and that Buddhism only uses people’s festive atmosphere to expand its influence on this day.
Festival and custom
The festivals and customs activities of the Lantern Festival are extended and expanded with the development of history. As far as the length of the festival is concerned, it was only one day in the Han Dynasty, three days in the Tang Dynasty, and five days in the Song Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, the lights were lit from the eighth day of the eighth day until the night of the seventeenth day of the first month. It is the longest lantern festival in China history, which is connected with the Spring Festival, and the day is the city. It is very lively and spectacular. Especially the exquisite and colorful lights make it the climax of entertainment activities during the Spring Festival. By the Qing Dynasty, there were more "hundred plays" such as dragon dancing, lion dancing, roller boating, walking on stilts and dancing yangko, but the festival period was shortened to four to five days.
In the Tang Dynasty, when the national strength was unprecedentedly strong, Lantern Festival was very prosperous. Whether in the capital or in towns and villages, lanterns were hung everywhere, and people also made huge lantern wheels, lamp trees, lamp posts, etc. The city was full of fire trees and silver flowers, which were very lively.
In the Song Dynasty, in addition to the carnival of "women traveling in the streets and lanes, women and men are confused", there are also officials who distribute profits, and the king and the people enjoy the Lantern Festival together; Even with horror, prison institutions will use lighting and images to interpret the stories of prisoners or display prison equipment. The Lantern Festival developed into the most lively secular carnival in the Song Dynasty, and the Lantern Festival was more colorful. The Lantern Festival lasted for five days, and the styles of lanterns were complicated and varied. It was a very pleasing thing to visit the lantern market. Xin Qiji, a poet, wrote: "Thousands of trees bloom in the easterly night, and the stars are like rain", which means that there are countless lanterns and fireworks like rain in the Lantern Festival in the Song Dynasty. At that time, solve riddles on the lanterns also emerged, that is, all kinds of riddles were written on paper and pasted on lanterns, and the person who guessed correctly could get a small reward. This kind of entertainment and educational activity is loved by people and widely circulated.
By the Yuan Dynasty, most holidays were cancelled, and the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty believed that life was in exercise and work was rest, and the annual holidays were only 16 days.
The Lantern Festival in the Ming Dynasty lasted longer, from the eighth day of the first month to the seventeenth for ten days, to show the crowing.
In the Qing Dynasty, Manchu entered the Central Plains, and the court no longer held lantern festivals, but the folk lantern festivals were still spectacular. The Lantern Festival in the Qing Dynasty lasted only three days, but the lights were bright, more exquisite and fantastic, and it was still very attractive.
Lantern accommodation
People should set up a "Heaven and Earth Hall" when offering sacrifices to God on New Year’s Eve. People put up a small shed in the yard, and a small table in the shed stands the god’s throne of "Heaven, Earth, Three Realms, Ten Thousand Spirits"; There are incense burners and offerings in front of the shrine, and a lantern is hung, which represents Jiang Taigong’s seat. It is said that when Jiang Taigong was a deity, everyone else was sealed, but he forgot to seal himself, so he had no seat and had to sit with God.
Lanterns are related to gods, so they are also endowed with many symbolic meanings.
In ancient times, in order to drive away the fear of darkness, lanterns were derived to have the meaning of exorcising evil spirits and praying for light.
In Minnan dialect, the pronunciation of "Deng" is similar to that of "Ding", so lanterns are also used to pray for children to add Ding, seek fame, and avoid evil spirits.
There is a kind of "light lamp". At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, lanterns are placed in temples, so that the Buddha’s magic can make the year safe and smooth.
There are also farmers who hang a lamp on a long bamboo pole in the field to observe the fire color to predict the flood and drought in a year, with a view to a bumper year.
The reason for "setting off sky lanterns" is that people used to set off sky lanterns as a signal of mutual peace after fleeing from bandits. Since the day of refuge and returning home is the Lantern Festival, since then, people have celebrated it with the ceremony of putting on the sky lanterns every year, so they are also called "blessing lanterns" or "safety lanterns". Later, it gradually evolved into a folk activity of praying and wishing for heaven. The sky lanterns are filled with all kinds of wishes in my heart, hoping that the sky lanterns can reach heaven and bring infinite hope and light to people.
Legend has it that Emperor Taizong of Li Shimin encouraged reading, and all the people sent their children to school. The first program of admission is called "Turn on the light", which is to bring lanterns made in advance to school and ask a learned old gentleman to light them to symbolize a bright future. In the past, most private schools started school later on the fifteenth day of the first month, so the lanterns that started school became an ornament of the "Shangyuan Festival".
There are many kinds of Lantern Festival lanterns, or image lanterns modeled after the image of things, such as dragon lanterns, tiger lanterns, rabbit lanterns, etc., or movable lanterns based on folk stories, such as Cowherd and Weaver Girl, Twenty-four Filial Piety, etc., which show the national spirit of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness. All kinds of lanterns are skillfully made, showing the wisdom and skills of craftsmen.
With the development of the times, the Lantern Festival has become more and more grand, with more and more national characteristics and longer time. The Lantern Festival in the Tang Dynasty was one day and three days before and after Shangyuan. In the Song Dynasty, two days were added after the sixteenth, which was five days. In the Ming dynasty, it was extended to ten days from the eighth day to the eighteenth. Because of the different lighting periods, the first day of lighting is called "trial lighting", the fifteenth day is called "positive lighting", and the last day is called "residual lighting" and "stop lighting". It is also called "magic lamp", "human lamp" and "ghost lamp". On the 14th night, it is a "magic lamp", which is placed in front of the shrine and ancestral hall at home to worship the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. It is called "human lamp" at night on the fifteenth day, and it is placed on doors and windows, bedspreads, several cases, etc. to avoid scorpions and insects; On the 16th night, it is a "ghost lamp", which is placed in the tomb of Qiu and Yuan Ye, so that you can get rid of the ghost domain for wandering souls. Pray for God’s will, protect the common people, the gods, ghosts and animals, and do everything.
folk custom
China has a vast territory and a long history, so the customs of Lantern Festival are different all over the country, among which eating Lantern Festival, enjoying lanterns, dancing dragons and lions are several important folk customs. Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China, so it is celebrated all over the country. The customs in most areas are similar, but each area still has its own characteristics.
eat yuanxiao
Eating Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first month, as a food, has a long history in China. In the Song Dynasty, a novel food for the Lantern Festival was popular among the people. This kind of food was first called "Floating Yuanzi" and later called "Yuanxiao", and businessmen also called it "Yuanbao". Yuanxiao, or "Tangyuan", is filled with white sugar, rose, sesame, red bean paste, yellow cinnamon, walnut kernel, nuts, jujube paste, etc., and wrapped in glutinous rice flour into a round shape, which can be vegetarian and has different flavors. It can be boiled in soup, fried and steamed, which means a happy reunion. Shaanxi dumplings are not wrapped, but "rolled" in glutinous rice flour, or boiled or fried, hot and round. As a food, Yuanxiao has a long history in China. In the Song Dynasty, a novel food for the Lantern Festival was popular among the people. This kind of food was first called "Floating Yuanzi" and later called "Yuanxiao", and businessmen also called it "Yuanbao". In ancient times, the price of "Yuanxiao" was relatively expensive, and a poem said: "Guests look at the Imperial Street with a hook curtain, and the treasures in the city come at one time. There is no way to go in front of the curtain, and no money can be returned. "
The North "rolls" Yuanxiao and the South "wraps" Tangyuan, which are two foods with different practices and tastes.
lantern festival
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, which is also called Lantern Festival because there are folk customs of hanging lanterns, lighting lanterns and watching lanterns.
Lantern Festival is a traditional festival custom, which started in the Western Han Dynasty and flourished in Sui and Tang Dynasties. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the wind of lights prevailed in past dynasties and was passed down to later generations. The fifteenth day of the first month is the climax of the annual lantern fireworks. Therefore, the Lantern Festival is also called "Lantern Festival". In the county-level city walls and even townships and towns in Shanxi, these residents are concentrated in the bustling and lively areas. Before the arrival of the fifteenth day of the first month, the streets are full of lanterns, flowers are everywhere, and lights are swaying, reaching a climax on the fifteenth night of the first month. On the fifteenth day of the first month, "watching lanterns" has become a spontaneous activity of Shanxi folk people. On the fifteenth night of the first month, red lights are hung high in the streets and lanes, with palace lanterns, animal headlights, lantern lanterns, flower lanterns, bird lanterns and so on, attracting people to watch lanterns. In Taiyuan area, the lights in Taigu County are very famous. Taigu lamps are famous for their variety, exquisite production and attractive appearance.
solve lantern riddles; guess riddles on hanging lanterns
Solve riddles on the lanterns, also known as playing riddles, is a unique form of traditional folk entertainment with rich national style in China. It is a characteristic activity of Lantern Festival that has been circulating since ancient times. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, traditional folks hang lanterns and set off fireworks. Later, some busybodies wrote riddles on paper and posted them on colorful lanterns for people to guess. Because riddles can enlighten wisdom and cater to the festive atmosphere, so many people responded, and then guessing riddles gradually became an indispensable program of the Lantern Festival. Lantern riddles add to the festive atmosphere, showing the intelligence and wisdom of ancient working people and their yearning for a better life.
Play dragon lantern
Playing dragon lantern, also known as dragon lantern or dragon dance. Its origin can be traced back to ancient times. Legend has it that as early as the Yellow Emperor’s period, in a large-scale song and dance of Qing Jiao, there was an image of a leading bird played by a man, and then a dance scene with six dragons interspersed with each other was arranged. The dragon dance recorded in writing is Zhang Heng’s "Xijing Fu" in the Han Dynasty. The author vividly describes the dragon dance in the description of hundreds of plays. According to the Records of Sui Shu Music, Huanglongbian, which was similar to the dragon dance performance in one hundred plays during Emperor Yangdi’s reign, was also very wonderful, and dragon dance was popular in many places in China. The Chinese nation advocates dragons and regards them as auspicious symbols.
walk on stilts
Walking on stilts is a popular folk mass performance. Stilts, originally one of the hundreds of ancient dramas in China, appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. China first introduced stilts in Liezi Shuofu: "In Song Dynasty, there were lanzi, who used their skills to dry Song and Yuan Dynasties. Song and Yuan Dynasties summoned them to see their skills.
lion dance
Lion dance is an excellent folk art in China. Every Lantern Festival or assembly celebration, people always come to entertain with lion dance. This custom originated in the Three Kingdoms period and became popular in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It has a history of more than 1000 years.
"Lion Dance" began in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. It is also called "Lion Dance" and "Taiping Music". Generally, it is completed by three people. Two people dress up as lions, one acts as the lion’s head, one acts as the lion’s body and hind feet, and the other acts as a lion leader. The dance method is divided into civil and military. The dance shows the gentleness of the lion, shaking its hair and rolling. The martial lion shows the ferocity of the lion.
Dry boating
Rowing a dry boat, folklore is to commemorate Dayu who has made great contributions to water control. Rowing a dry boat, also known as running a dry boat, is to imitate the boat on land, and most of the performers are girls. A dry boat is not a real boat. It is made of two thin sheets, sawed into a boat shape, tied with bamboo and wood, covered with colored cloth, tied around the girl’s waist, just like sitting in a boat, rowing with paddles in hand, singing and dancing while running. This is a dry boat. Sometimes, another man dressed as a boatman and performing with a partner, mostly dressed as a clown, amused the audience with all kinds of funny actions. Dry boating is popular in many areas of China.
Sacrifice door and household
In ancient times, there were "seven sacrifices", which were two of them. The method of sacrifice is to insert poplar branches above the door, insert a pair of chopsticks in a bowl filled with bean porridge, or put wine and meat directly in front of the door.
Rat chase
Rat-chasing is a traditional folk activity during the Lantern Festival, which began in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Mainly for sericulture families. Because mice often eat silkworms in large areas at night, it is said that mice can stop eating silkworms by feeding them rice porridge on the fifteenth day of the first month.
The Chronicle of the Age of Jingchu says that on the fifteenth day of the first month, a fairy descended to a family named Chen and said to them: If you can sacrifice to me, let your silkworms have a good harvest. Later, customs were formed.
Send a child lamp
Referred to as "sending lanterns" for short, it is also called "sending lanterns", that is, before the Lantern Festival, the bride’s family sends lanterns to her newly married daughter’s home, or ordinary relatives and friends give them to the newly married infertile home in order to add good luck, because "lamp" is homophonic with "Ding". This custom is found in many places. In Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province, lanterns are given during the eighth to fifteenth day of the first month. In the first year, a pair of palace lanterns and a pair of glass lamps with colorful paintings are given. I hope that my daughter will be lucky and have children early after marriage. If the daughter is pregnant, in addition to the big palace lantern, one or two pairs of small lanterns should be sent to wish her a safe pregnancy.
Yingzigu
Zigu is also called Qigu, and in the north, it is called toilet aunt and pit aunt. The ancient folk custom is to offer sacrifices to Ce Shen Zigu on the 15th day of the first month, and to divine silkworm and mulberry, which accounts for many things. Legend has it that Zigu was originally a concubine and was envied by the eldest woman. She was killed in the toilet on the fifteenth day of the first month and became Ce Shen. On the night of greeting Zigu, people tie up a portrait of Zigu with straw and cloth heads, and greet it with a pigsty in the toilet at night. This custom is popular all over the north and south, and it was recorded as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Walking sickness
"Walking through all diseases", also known as swimming through all diseases, dispersing all diseases, baking all diseases, walking across the bridge, etc., is an activity to eliminate disasters and pray for health. On the night of Lantern Festival, women meet and travel together, and when they see a bridge, they must cross it, thinking that this can cure diseases and prolong life.
Walking away from all diseases is a custom in the north since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, some of which are carried out on the 15th, but most of them are carried out on the 16th. On this day, women dressed in festive costumes went out of their homes in droves, crossed the bridge to cross the danger, went to the city, and begged for children until midnight.
On this Lantern Festival
I wish you all a happy family reunion.
People are round, things are round and round;
The popularity, happiness and fate are constant;
Wish, wish, wish!

"Sunshine Robber": The tiger sniffs the rose, and the May Day robbery is not happy.

Special feature of 1905 film network After the recovery, the 2021 China movies have a fierce momentum. At present, the box office has exceeded 20 billion, and many films have been released in May 1st. Today, Xiaobian shares with you the only fantasy comedy from a female perspective. Female directors+double mistress, can be described as menacing!



The director is good at shooting women’s plays, and he can get everything. Director Li’s Sunshine Robber is adapted from the novel of the same name by Japanese writer Kotaro Isaka, which is the first time that Isaban’s novel appeared on the mainland screen.



 In the film, Sunshine runs a pet-seeking office, which helps people find lost pets. Xiaoxue (ornaments) came to the door and claimed that her daughter Nana, who lived alone, had been stolen. Unexpectedly, Nana is a five-year-old tiger, and it was stolen by a gang of vicious gangsters … … Although there is "looking for a tiger" as a joke, "Sunshine Robber" is actually about the process of mutual understanding and healing between two female characters. The setting is rare and special, the actors bring their own jokes, and there are rapper TT surprise guest appearances.



In the movie poster, the tiger is firmly in the C position. It is said that there is a tiger in the heart, sniffing roses. Director Li Yu said that this tiger is actually a metaphor. For example, love, friendship and even affection, when this thing is lost, this emotion is too fierce for you, just like a tiger. You want it back, and no one can stop it. Sniffing roses means that after coming back, we still have to feel what the world has brought us that is worth cherishing and hopeful, and then heal our wounds.



As director Li Yu’s best friend, Yang Nai-chen also mentioned in the program that in fact, this film is a sudden change compared with director Li Yu’s previous words, but the core things have not changed. They are all discussing how people should face the tear of life, how to face the vagaries of fate, how to face their own gains and losses, and how to form their own growth in the end. On the surface, the whole "Robber of the Sunshine" is a fantastic story with beautiful scenes and emotional interaction between women. But the essence is still talking about finding yourself, like a mirror.



According to the statistics of Cat’s Eye Professional Edition, 72.1% of the female audience want to see "Sunshine Robber" at present, and the audience aged 20 to 29 is over 60%. Director Li Yu thinks that this film can be used as a source of happiness for female audiences and help them find a way to get along with the world. Then to remain pure is to have an initial heart and cherish all the things you cherish now, including your friends and relatives around you. As Yang Tianzhen said, watching movies is actually a different way of life, which will be a great inspiration to you, and you will understand that when you lose it one day, you should go all out to protect what you want to protect.


Director’s observation:This programme focuses on director Li Yu’s new work "Sunshine Robber". This film changes Li Yu’s style of emotional tearing of literary women in the past, and tells the friendship story of two women in the way of family happiness and fairy tales. In the program, guest Yang Tianzhen talked about having known Li Yu for fifteen years. In the film, Song Jia, the heroine, is also an artist brought by Yang Tianzhen as an agent. Director Li Yu said that she felt very suitable when she saw Song Jia … … These friendships are linked in dreams, and the friendship of women helping each other is interpreted in and out of the play. Movies tell us that even in a complex society, we need pure and pure friendship and fairy tales. The program is introduced from the theme of the film, combined with the extension of emotional topics. Two guests answer the question of emotional divergence in the film, which is interactive and interesting, and it is worth seeing.


Why is love full of twists and turns? Li Junxian and Chen Xiaoyun talk about the emotional line in You Have Today.

The TV series You Have Today, directed by Chen Mingzhang and starring Chen Xingxu and Zhang Ruonan, is being broadcasted by Youku. The play revolves around the work and life love between several young lawyers. Among them, the love line between wu jun (played by Li Junxian) and Cheng Xi (played by Chen Xiaoyun) is full of twists and turns. A few days ago, Li Junxian and Chen Xiaoyun told the media that listening, understanding and companionship in love are the most important things for this couple.

Wu jun (Li Junxian) and Cheng Xi (Chen Xiaoyun).

Li Junxian: The relationship between wu jun and Cheng Xi is mutual respect.

In You Have Today, Li Junxian plays wu jun as a partner of Junheng Law Firm. He and Qian Heng (played by Chen Xingxu) are good friends and business partners with tacit cooperation. Qian Heng is responsible for solving professional problems and wu jun is responsible for expanding customers. In the play, wu jun is regarded as the "immortal boss" of the law firm, which will not only provide employees with emotional value, activate the company atmosphere, but also give generous benefits. Li Junxian admits that his life is not as lively as wu jun’s, "but I am also a Northeastern myself, and I will try my best to raise the rhythm of my acting, which will make everyone look not tired."

Wu jun, played by Li Junxian, is a partner of Junheng Law Firm.

Outside of his career, wu jun seems to be laughing and laughing, but he is emotionally obsessed with Cheng Xi (played by Chen Xiaoyun) who has recruited Cheng Yao (played by Zhang Ruonan), the younger sister of Cheng Xi, into the law firm. And wu jun’s most attractive place for Li Junxian is that this character is persistent and single-minded about love, and Wu Jun has always been filled with Cheng Xi in his heart. "wu jun’s feelings with Cheng Xi are mutual respect. See and hear each other’s true thoughts, instead of paying unilaterally, because sometimes your pay may not be what your lover needs, so I think listening, understanding and companionship are the most important. "

Chen Xiaoyun: I appreciate Cheng Xi’s self-consistency

In the play, Cheng Xi, a public interest lawyer played by Chen Xiaoyun, is in a state of "daring" whether she is married, single or in love again. When she is with her ex-husband, she is desperate and leaves when she leaves. When she is single, she has peace of mind and enjoys a single life. In Chen Xiaoyun’s view, Cheng Xi is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. "She is very sober, especially knowing when and what she wants. She wanted peace, so she rented a house in the countryside and became a public interest lawyer. She is particularly clear about her planning at each stage. "

In Chen Xiaoyun’s view, Cheng Xi is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

In the early stage, Cheng Xi took an evasive attitude towards wu jun’s pursuit, but with wu jun’s persistent company, all ends well. Chen Xiaoyun said frankly that Cheng Xi’s acceptance of love has always been relatively consistent. When she wanted to be alone, she was alone and immersed in her work. When she was ready for the world of two people, she accepted wu jun. Chen Xiaoyun said that she appreciates Cheng Xi’s self-consistency. "She is also a state that I am pursuing now."

Not all stories are love stories | Reading Day

Recently, Chinese-American writer Yiyun Li’s novel "Should I Go" met readers in China, which is the first time that Yiyun Li has been translated into Chinese and introduced into domestic novels.

Many readers in China have heard of Yiyun Li, but many readers in China read Yiyun Li for the first time. Yiyun Li went to the United States to study after graduating from the Biology Department of Peking University, and later turned to writing. From the publication of her first novel collection "A Thousand Years of Worship" in 2005 to the present, she has always written in English, and has become one of the most accomplished Chinese writers in English. Now, she is finally ready to return her works to China.

The first novel translated into Chinese and published.

Many readers in China have heard of Yiyun Li.

Yiyun Li, a Chinese-American writer, is currently a professor and director of creative writing program at Lewis Art Center of Princeton University. She is a "post-70s" who went to the United States to study after graduating from the Biology Department of Peking University, and later turned to English writing. Her first collection of short stories, A Thousand Years of Worship, has aroused widespread concern and affirmation, and won the Frank O ‘Connor International Short Story Award, the American Pen Hemingway Award and the British Guardian Newcomer Award. She herself has been rated as the most noteworthy writer by major authoritative literary magazines, and won the MacArthur Genius Award in the United States in 2010. In 2012, Yiyun Li won the O Henry Award for her short story Kindness, making her the first Chinese writer to win the award. In 2022, Yiyun Li was elected as an academician of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a year later, she won the Faulkner Prize for Literature for her new work The Book of Goose.

So far, Yiyun Li has published six novels, three collections of short stories and one memoir. Should I Go, published in 2020, is her first novel translated into Chinese. In this novel, "Lilia has been married three times, raised five children, and is now looking forward to the birth of the 17th grandchild. She has been helping people around her to recognize herself all her life. At the age of eighty-five, she began to be fascinated by the diary of her old friend Roland. When she was young, they had a romantic relationship. She wanted to see what she could leave for the younger generation. The diary recorded Roland’s affairs in great detail. Lilia took pains to add footnotes to everything. A secret relationship that lasted for decades was slowly uncovered, including the existence of her daughter Lucy, who even Roland himself didn’t know. Flame-like passion, the grief of annihilation, people’s hearts go back and forth between these two poles, but they have to find their home and exit and continue to cruise. Yiyun Li gave a dazzling praise to life in the novel, about Lilia and about everyone who comes and goes in our lives. "

At the launch of Should I Go in Shanghai, Bao Huiyi, a young writer and associate professor of English at Fudan University, said that at first she thought the novel was a work about how to face aging and the last years of life, but later she found that it subverted all her presuppositions. She explained that the 80-year-old woman was obsessed with her old lover and went to such great trouble to read his diary, probably because she was immersed in the past, but this was not the case at all. With the development of the story, if it had a core meaning, it was the death of her daughter. In the novel, Lilia gave birth to a child with Roland, or she got a life from Roland. Later, this life passed away. Therefore, in Bao Huiyi’s understanding, Lilia didn’t go to the diary to trace the old love affair at all, and the author Yiyun Li also warned readers from the beginning that not all stories are love stories.

Who collects who?

When reading Should I Go, Bao Huiyi found two different voices contending. "There is a male first-person narrator in the book, and then the voice-over is female, because Lilia is constantly making comments when reading Roland’s book, and subverts the male voice, or it can’t be said to be subversive, because her comments actually appear irregularly, which can be said to be a deconstruction of the life story that the man thinks he is. Then you will see such a struggle for the narrative subject, which is very interesting and very tense. "

Bao Huiyi believes that "Should I Go" has at least three or more layers of structure, the first of which is Roland, the author of the diary, and Lilia, the commentator, and the relationship between Lilia and Roland can be expanded. However, Yiyun Li is not unconventional. In an interview with Zhong Na, a bilingual writer and literary translator, Yiyun Li said that she was willing to rely on a traditional structure, and she thought that she could tell the story well with the help of an existing framework. In Bao Huiyi’s view, this is actually a solid writing attitude. Writers rely on their own handy framework to write dialogues and characters well.

Bao Huiyi said that perhaps when reading more than ten pages in the book, readers will feel that Yiyun Li is an author with profound narrative skills and sophisticated life wisdom. For example, in the book, the struggle for topics such as memory and time, the man thinks that he can write a book with a coffin, and the young girl becomes his lover, just one of his many "collections", even just a small footnote in his life, but who actually collects who, who forgets who, what is permanence, what is transience and what is possession?

Zhong Na shared her reading experience at the launch of Should I Go? Zhong Na said that in "Should I Go", readers can see that Lilia shared a lot of life wisdom, and there are many enlightening things, especially some golden sentences, which also show the personality of the characters. "I think the interesting thing that Yiyun Li presents in this book is that there are many golden sentences, but at the same time, the golden sentences are constantly being deconstructed and overthrown, and they are often contradictory, which actually constitutes the personality characteristics of Lilia."

In addition, Lilia keeps reading the diary of his old lover and responding, which seems paranoid. How to understand this behavior, Zhong Na spent a long time thinking, and finally found the answer in another book by Yiyun Li, Dear Friends, Write Your Life from My Life. "Yiyun Li suffered from depression for two years, and then she did some thinking and digestion by reading and reviewing her life, including her relationship with her family, her relationship with literature, and her relationship with the first half of her life. So in fact, she is slowly gaining some wisdom to regain the balance of her life by constantly reading the writer’s letters and diaries. So that book is actually having a dialogue with "Should I Go?", that is, through very in-depth reading, the lives of readers and authors are intertwined. So after I reread the book, I read "Should I Go" again, and I have a feeling of understanding Lilia. When a person’s life is in a dilemma, she re-establishes a narrative by reading this most extreme way to enter the other’s brain. "

A Chinese writer who writes in English

The Chinese simplified version of Should I Go was published, which made many readers who had heard of Yiyun Li read Yiyun Li for the first time.

At the launch of Should I Go, Penglun, an archipelago book publisher, recalled his association with Yiyun Li and shared the publishing story of Should I Go. He said that for many readers, Yiyun Li has always been a legend or a legend. From the publication of the first collection of novels "A Thousand Years of Worship" in 2005 to the present, she has always written in English, but she was not born and raised in the United States, but a writer who went to study in the United States from China. Before going to the United States, she had never published her works in Chinese. Among the current Chinese writers, Yiyun Li can be said to be the most accomplished writer in English, and many readers in China who are concerned about the world literary world are also curious. Why has Yiyun Li never published Chinese works before?

Peng Lun introduced that he began to pay attention to Yiyun Li in 2004. At that time, his job was to report some trends in the literary and publishing circles at home and abroad, and he learned by chance that Yiyun Li had won a new literary prize. He had never heard of this writer, so he searched the Internet for relevant information and got in touch with Yiyun Li by email.

In 2005, Yiyun Li published her first collection of short stories in the United States and won some literary prizes. At that time, Peng Lungang started publishing and asked Yiyun Li if she could translate this collection of novels into China, but she refused. With the increasing popularity of Yiyun Li, other China media began to pay attention to this writer. However, when asked when he would publish a book in China, Yiyun Li said no.

"I noticed at that time that she felt that she was not ready at that stage, or that China was not ready to accept her as a Chinese writer writing in English." Peng Lun said.

Ten years later, until 2020, Peng Lun suddenly received a letter from Yiyun Li’s agent and her latest novel manuscript at that time, that is, "Should I go?".

Zhong Na thinks, "Should I Go" is a very mature writer who is very satisfied with his current creation, so Yiyun Li is willing to make it the starting point for his work to enter the Chinese world. Zhong Na has been paying attention to Yiyun Li’s creative career. In her view, the writer’s writing has been constantly changing, broadening her own boundaries. In the early days, Yiyun Li’s writing actually paid more attention to the depiction of characters’ inner images, as well as the connection of very special characters’ emotions and relationships, and even hid himself among the characters. But later, Yiyun Li did a lot of experiments and broadening on texts and writing, and his works were more mature than those in his early years.

It is reported that besides Should I Go, Yiyun Li’s other two works, The Book of Goose and Wednesday’s Children, have also been put on the publishing schedule. "Although her works entered the Chinese world for the first time, many readers, especially female readers, recognized her voice and the charm of her works very quickly, which gave me great confidence." Peng Lun said.

  Poirot: Evil Under The Sun


  Lu Bingxian, Zhai Jianguo, Tang Hanying


  Officials in the Hu Xing Series who "tripped" a "Allure" high-rise building


  With the trial of Lu Bingxian and Zhai Jianguo successively, the Hu Xing series cases once again attracted people’s attention.


  After the incident in Hu Xing, officials such as Lu Bingxian, former director of Enterprise Income Tax Management Office of Kunming State Taxation Bureau, Tang Hanying, former head of Kunming Land Center, and Zhai Jianguo, former director of Kunming Bureau of Landscape Architecture, were successively dismissed … All these seem to be inextricably linked with the 21-story "Beautiful Buildings" proudly erected on Jinbi Road in Kunming in 2005.
 
  Ceng Hua, Hu Xing, Lu Bingxian, Zhai Jianguo, and Tang Hanying, what are their connections? How did the "famous city building" break the "second ring ban" and appear in the city center?


  "Building a Famous City" Breaking Policy Barriers


  In 2005, a high-rise building named "A Beautiful City and a Famous Building" appeared on the Jinbi Road in a prime location in Kunming.


  For a time, there was a lot of discussion, because earlier, Kunming issued a regulation that no high-rise buildings should be built within the Second Ring Road. In principle, land should be used for environmental greening, roads, public welfare facilities and municipal facilities, and generally commercial residential projects should not be developed. This decision has become an insurmountable policy barrier for real estate developers. The rise of "the city is famous for its buildings" broke the ban and immediately attracted the close attention of relevant people.


  Today, the professional websites of real estate still retain the introduction of "Splendid Sunshine City Famous Building": "Splendid Sunshine City Famous Building is located in Tongren Street, Jinbi Road, opposite to Jinbi Park, separated from the landmark historical building Jinma Bijifang in Kunming, bearing the wind and rain of Dongxi Temple Tower and Zhong ‘aifang, with a panoramic view of prosperity and history … The apartment is classic, multi-faceted, bright and transparent, and each set starts at 700,000 yuan."


  Nearly two years have passed, and the "all-famous buildings" have already been sold out, and the price in the second-hand housing market exceeds 10,000 yuan per square meter; The price of "Laifu Plaza Shop" has also increased by 100,000 yuan per square meter. Indeed, like the original bullish advertising words: "If you miss the opportunity, you have to wait another hundred years!"


  Hu Xing behind "the city is famous for its architecture"


  It is said that pointing to this towering real estate, developers are indignant: we are not allowed to build tall buildings, how did this project come out? Officials in provinces and cities are also puzzled. A new company with a registered capital of only 5.1 million yuan can operate a property worth 2 billion yuan in the most prosperous area. What’s the catch? What is hidden behind the "famous city"? What kind of hand is manipulating in the dark?


  The mystery will eventually be solved. When investigating the case of Ceng Hua, Kunming Procuratorate learned that the developer of "Qingcheng Famous Building" was Jincheng Sunshine Company (hereinafter referred to as "Jincheng Company"), and the real boss of this company was named Bing Lin. In addition, the registered capital of the company is "5.1 million yuan", and the two natural person shareholders are "Zhang Xima accounts for 81% and 4.12 million yuan; Li Bin accounted for 19% and 980,000 ". The data also shows that Zhang Xima and Li Bin are both from Shenzhen.


  Prosecutors discovered through investigation that Li Bin had a daughter surnamed Hu, and then confirmed that Bing Lin, formerly known as Hu Bin, was the third brother of Hu Xing, then deputy director of Yunnan Provincial Communications Department. At this point, in the eyes of prosecutors, Hu Xing began to emerge vaguely.


  The mystery of the rise of "the city is famous for its buildings"


  On January 15th, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Kunming Procuratorate took action and summoned Hu Bin and several managers of Jincheng Company, as well as Tang Hanying, the head of Kunming Land Reserve Center. After a short period of resistance, Tang finally admitted that Hu Xing specifically told him to run the Jinbi Road project. On April 3, 2003, the Kunming Municipal Government started to demolish a plot of Jinbi Road to build an open park, but Hu Xing, then vice mayor of Kunming, proposed to auction 6.69 mu of it, and the proceeds could make up for the shortage of funds for demolition and construction. And through means, it finally ensured that Jincheng Company got the land at 4.03 million yuan per mu.


  In the whole process of "trading", the Hu brothers tried their best to hide their true identity. However, there are various indications that Hu Xing is inextricably linked with Jincheng Company, and the former vice mayor is suspected of taking advantage of his position to seek personal gain for relatives and friends. According to the preliminary estimation of the case-handling personnel, the project of "Famous Buildings in the Whole City" has made amazing profits due to the intervention of power.


  The curtain covering up the truth has been lifted, and the "blade" points directly at Hu Xing. The Yunnan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection intervened in the case because it involved departmental cadres. Yunnan provincial high-level officials are determined to investigate with an iron fist, trace the source and expose the truth. But at that moment, Hu Xing suddenly disappeared. As a result, there is a story of the investigators tracking the transnational pursuit of Hu Xing for thousands of miles …


  Officials brought out by "the city is famous for its buildings"


  From Ceng Hua to Hu Xing, from Hu Xing to Lu Bingxian, Tang Hanying, and Zhai Jianguo, "the famous building of the whole city" is, to some extent, the lead of the breach in the series of Hu Xing cases.


  The trial of Lu Bingxian in Kunming Intermediate People’s Court was held the day before yesterday. The public prosecutor accused Lu of accepting cash and shopping cards from Bing Lin several times from 2004 to 2006, totaling 55,000 yuan, and taking advantage of his position, he handled the preferential corporate income tax for Jincheng Sunshine House Company, so that the company was exempted from paying corporate income tax for three years from 2004 to 2006 and paid corporate income tax by half in 2007 and 2008. Later, Lu asked Bing Lin to remit 1.85 million yuan to his daughter’s account, and used 1.83 million yuan to buy a house in Beijing. As for the above facts, the public prosecutor provided a number of witness testimonies and exhibits to confirm them, and Lu himself recognized them in court.


  The case of Zhai Jianguo, another protagonist of the series and former director of Kunming Municipal Bureau of Landscaping and Greening, was also heard in Kunming Intermediate People’s Court yesterday.


  What’s the connection between Zhai Jianguo and "the city is famous" and Hu Xing case? The situation in yesterday’s court is unknown. However, in the eyes of local real estate businessmen in Kunming, Hu Xing’s "right-hand men" are not only Ceng Hua, but also Tang Hanying and Zhai Jianguo. The former was the director of Kunming Land Reserve Center and the latter was the director of Kunming Landscaping Bureau. Together with Ceng Hua’s Planning Bureau, they almost completely control the administrative examination and approval power of land development, construction and greening in Kunming. Coupled with the "tax official" Lu Bingxian, the "energy" of this "interest alliance" can be imagined.


  With Ceng Hua, Hu Xing, Lu Bingxian, Zhai Jianguo and others appearing for trial one by one, the next one to sit in the dock should be another "protagonist" of this series of cases, Tang Hanying. We will wait and see how much the Tang Hanying case involves.

  Is it also a crime of bribery for a younger brother to send money to his brother?


  Jinling Evening News published a report on June 10th, 2005, revealing the news that Ye Zhang, the president of a bank in Changsha, was arrested for taking bribes. As mentioned in the article, the tens of thousands of yuan that Zhang Ke, his brother, gave to Ye Zhang also became the evidence that the court found that Ye Zhang had taken bribes. Not only that, but Zhang Ke was also dealt with in another case on suspicion of bribery. "How did your family relationship with your younger brother become a bribe and a bribe?" The article describes Ye Zhang’s mentality after being detained, and also reveals the confusion of many ordinary people. The reporter interviewed a number of professionals in the legal field and found that there is still great controversy in the legal field about how to identify bribery and bribery between relatives.


  Ye Zhang’s "Brotherhood"


  According to reports, Ye Zhang, who was born in the countryside, had a very good relationship with his younger brother Zhang Ke. After becoming the president, he tried to help his younger brother. So when his younger brother finally set up a factory in Changsha, Ye Zhang used his position as president to help his younger brother say hello, stop business and even get a loan. Zhang Ke made money, but he certainly won’t forget his brother. When he heard that his brother’s son was going to study in an aristocratic school, he took out 50 thousand yuan to pay the tuition for his brother; My brother bought a new house, and he sent another 120 thousand yuan for decoration; When the sister-in-law bought a car, he sent another 250,000 yuan in cash to his brother’s office.


  Viewpoint 1: "Brotherhood" does not constitute a crime.


  People who hold this view believe that it is understandable that relatives, especially brothers, exchange gifts and property, which is a normal emotional exchange. Even if the elder brother who is in power "greets" his younger brother for benefits and receives money from the younger brother who wants something from himself, it is not appropriate to identify it according to the crime of bribery and bribery.


  Viewpoint 2: There is no legal basis for the theory of not constituting a crime.


  Those who hold this view believe that bribery and bribery crimes are duty crimes stipulated in the specific provisions of China’s criminal law. No matter what kind of kinship the briber and the briber have, as long as they meet the constitutive requirements of such crimes, it is enough to constitute a crime. There is no legal basis for the view that between husband and wife, between parents and children, between brothers and sisters, the behavior of sending property by the unauthorized party and receiving property by the powerful party does not constitute bribery and bribery crimes.


  Viewpoint 3: Specific analysis of specific situations


  Most people interviewed believe that the situation of "giving gifts" and "receiving gifts" between relatives is complicated, and they can neither be treated as crimes nor simply found guilty. The key is to distinguish between "reciprocity between relatives" and "bribery and bribery crimes". Generally speaking, reciprocity between relatives should be a two-way communication of "giving back and forth". If relatives always give gifts to the party who is in power, but the other party never or rarely returns gifts, and the party who receives gifts always uses the convenience of his position to seek benefits for the giver, then both parties may constitute bribery and bribery crimes. At the same time, those who hold this view emphasize that there should be some differences between "gift-giving behavior between relatives" and the identification of bribery and bribery between non-relatives in general. Although there are no restrictive provisions on the subjects of bribery and bribery crimes in China’s criminal law, considering the special factors between relatives, those relatives who have not been separately accounted for economically, and those who have been independently accounted for economically but have not clearly asked for the reasons, generally should not be punished as bribery and bribery.


  My own brother pulled him into the wrong path.


  How did Zhai Jianguo embark on the road of crime? Through interviews with relevant case-handling departments and insiders, our reporter learned that the initial motive of his crime was not pure pursuit of illegal interests like most other corrupt officials, but out of deep brotherhood, it was his own brother Zhai, who was mentioned by the public prosecution in the indictment.


  In his early years, Zhai, who had a low education level, had no fixed occupation and his family life was very tight. As a brother, Zhai Jianguo is anxious in his eyes and often takes some money to help his younger brother. Zhai is very sensible and has always been grateful to his brother. In 2001, after Zhai Jianguo started to be the "number one" in Kunming Garden Bureau, his brother secretly thought about asking his brother to help him "find something to do".


  In October 2002, Zhai Jianguo, who understood his brother’s mind, found an opportunity. At that time, he was very excited and felt that he could finally really help his brother, but he was unaware that he had slipped into a terrible abyss.


  He later recalled in an account that he personally arranged and "greeted" the relevant person in charge and handed over the project of Yuantong Square to his younger brother. However, the cost of this project is more than 5 million, and it must go through public bidding, and Zhai does not have the corresponding qualifications and strength. Therefore, Zhai found Shenzhen Zhisong Company and asked the company to come forward to participate in the bidding. Subsequently, Zhai Jianguo found a person in charge of the Municipal Planning and Design Institute and told him to find a bidding agency to take charge of the bidding. After some operations, Shenzhen Zhisong Company won the bid, and this large-scale municipal project finally fell into Zhai’s hands.


  The road greening project of Chunyu Road is another project that Zhai Jianguo helped his brother get. Zhai Jianguo didn’t have the right to make decisions on this project, so it took quite some trouble. He found his former subordinate, Yang, who was then the director of Xishan District Urban Construction Bureau, and said that an old friend was idle and wanted to find some projects to do. Yang arranged for Liu in the greening department of the district to let Liu directly contact Zhai. Of course, things will be done soon. After that, Zhai will send some red envelopes to Liu on holidays, but not to Yang.


  In this way, Zhai Jianguo "greeted" his younger brother again and again, and directly or indirectly arranged projects for his younger brother again and again. After getting the project, Zhai, who didn’t have the construction strength, went to other enterprises to join or cooperate, and soon became rich. In order to "repay" his brother, Zhai gave 1.7 million yuan to the "director’s brother" one after another, but at the same time, he constantly warned himself that he could not screw up the project that his brother "handed over", otherwise it would ruin his brother’s reputation.


  Later, the situation shows that the quality of these projects is really quite good, and some of them have even become landmark projects with rich Kunming characteristics, for example, four decorative landscape projects on Cuihu Lake, including the sculpture of "Old Seagull".


  The Hu Xing case led to the bribery of the former director of Kunming Bureau of Landscape Architecture.


  Zhai Jianguo: I took 2.5 million yuan, and I returned 4 yuan and 75 cents more.


  Yesterday, another corrupt official brought out by the Hu Xing case stood in the dock of Kunming Intermediate People’s Court: Zhai Jianguo, former Party Secretary and Director of Kunming Bureau of Landscaping and Greening (hereinafter referred to as Kunming Bureau of Landscape Architecture). The Kunming Municipal People’s Procuratorate accused him of accepting bribes amounting to more than 2.5 million yuan, and the defendant had a good attitude and fully admitted it.


  It is worth noting that the defendant in this case took bribes from his own brother, and according to the ascertained situation, all the bribes have been recovered, and the family returned an extra 4.75 yuan when they returned the stolen goods. On this basis, the defense lawyer further suggested that the defendant had surrendered himself and should be given a lighter or mitigated punishment. After the debate, the public prosecution agency said: There is no objection to the circumstances of surrender.


  1. The officials involved in the Hu Xing case did not involve Hu Xing in their crimes.


  Zhai Jianguo, who is just half a century old, has gray hair and sits in the dock of the No.2 Grand Court of Kunming Intermediate People’s Court. He is strong and energetic.


  Zhai Jianguo was detained in criminal detention on January 25th this year, and was formally arrested on February 7th. Prior to this, Hu Xing, who was appointed as the deputy director of Yunnan Provincial Communications Department, had just committed a crime and was wanted by the Ministry of Public Security in the whole country with an A-level wanted order. At that time, Zhai Jianguo was still sitting on his throne as director, and had a brief colleague relationship with Hu in the planning system, which made him one of the officials involved in the case.


  Soon, Zhai’s bribery case surfaced, and was included in the Hu Xing series of cases by relevant departments and the media, which attracted much attention from all walks of life. However, according to what has been disclosed so far, all the economic crimes he is responsible for have not involved Hu Xing.


  The Kunming Municipal People’s Procuratorate accused Zhai Jianguo: From 2002 to 2006, the defendant Zhai Jianguo took advantage of his position in charge of landscaping to arrange or coordinate his younger brother Zhai to undertake landscaping projects such as Yuantong Park Square Road, Cuihu Park Greening and Chunyu Road Road Greening, with a total project cost of more than 12 million yuan. From 2004 to 2005, Zhai sent 1.5 million yuan in cash to Zhai Jianguo, and deposited it in two bank accounts of Zhai Jianguo’s ex-wife Duan and his son Zhai Moumou. In April 2006, Zhai once again sent 200,000 yuan to the account of Li, the current wife of Zhai Jianguo.


  From 2002 to 2007, Zhai Jianguo also took advantage of his position to arrange Kunming Kaifang Art Decoration Co., Ltd. to undertake sculpture decoration projects in Jinbi Park, Cuihu Park and Yuantong Park, as well as art murals on Chuncheng Road, with a total cost of more than 15 million yuan. After the company made huge profits, it gave Zhai Jianguo RMB 350,000. In addition, according to the agreement reached by both parties in advance, the company also invested 432,485.25 yuan to decorate three houses in Jiangdong Xiaokang City, Wenlin Yaju and Shuguang East District for Zhai, and "helped" to purchase some furniture and electrical appliances.


  2. The defender claimed that the defendant surrendered himself, which was recognized by the public prosecution agency.


  The public prosecution agency believes that Zhai Jianguo, as a national staff member, took advantage of his position in charge of landscaping work to illegally accept bribes from others for many times and seek benefits for others. The amount of bribes reached 2,502,485.25 yuan, and his behavior has violated the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law, so he should be investigated for criminal responsibility for accepting bribes. In the Indictment, the public prosecution agency did not mention "Hu Xing" at all, nor did it mention whether the defendant might be given a lighter or mitigated punishment.


  Entrusted by family members, the defendants are two lawyers, Su Jianming and Li Zhibin, from Yunnan Xinyangwu Law Firm. "Zhai Jianguo was found guilty, but his situation belongs to surrender. According to the first paragraph of Article 67 of the Criminal Law, he should be given a lighter or mitigated punishment." In the debate stage, Su Jianming proposed.


  The defendant’s defender wrote in his defense: Zhai Jianguo was not "double-regulated" before the crime, that is to say, the relevant departments did not grasp the facts of his crime. After Hu Xing’s murder on January 23 this year, Zhai Jianguo was found by the Yunnan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection (hereinafter referred to as the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection) to cooperate with the investigation of Hu Xing. After answering the questions about Hu Xing, he voluntarily confessed his bribery. The next day, the investigation organ issued a Notice of Inquiry to him, and he confessed all his crimes truthfully again. This situation can be confirmed by a "Description of the Situation" issued by the Kunming Municipal People’s Procuratorate. The "Description of the Situation" said: "When handling the case of Hu Xing, our hospital found that Zhai Jianguo, the director of Kunming Garden Bureau, was suspected of accepting bribes, and then investigated him. The suspect truthfully explained all the criminal facts of his alleged bribery to the judicial organs."


  After the first round of debate, the prosecutor said in court: There is no objection to the nature of surrender.


  During the trial, it was found that the defendant Zhai Jianguo actively returned the stolen money after returning to the case, and paid a total of 2,502,490 yuan to the case-handling organ. The defender said: the returned stolen money is even 4.75 yuan more than the amount of bribes, which is another strong evidence of his "light theory". Defenders believe: "Whether the withdrawal from Tibet is complete or not is an important indicator to measure the defendant’s repentance attitude in economic crimes."


  Zhai Jianguo in the eyes of the world: he is too affectionate and a filial son.


  Speaking of "70 old mother"


  Tears ran down his eyes.


  "Don’t inform my family, I don’t want them to come to see me on trial …" Before the court session yesterday, Zhai Jianguo in the detention center sent a message to his defender, so he repeatedly told me. "He is very affectionate." This is one of the defenders, lawyer Li Zhibin’s impression of Zhai.


  According to Zhai Jianguo’s meaning, the defender didn’t tell Zhai’s old mother, who was over 70 years old, and his son, who had just been admitted to the university. The relatives who came to attend the audit were only the current wife Li.


  "These are all facts, and I plead guilty." The defendant Zhai Jianguo fully admitted all the alleged crimes. In the final statement stage, he briefly reviewed his working experience and began to express his inner "repentance": "I am sorry for the training of the party and the country, and I am sorry for the people … asking for a chance to start over." Although depressed, Zhai Jianguo in the dock tried to control his emotions during the trial, but when he said, "I slept with my 70-year-old mother," he burst into tears.


  When he was first brought to justice, Zhai Jianguo wrote in a "confession material" entitled "Deep understanding of his own economic problems": "Since he became a director, he has relaxed his ideological and political study, relaxed the transformation of his world outlook and outlook on life, and produced the idea of" having the right not to be obsolete ". I always feel that I work very hard, but I get very little, and my heart is extremely unbalanced. As a result, they used their rights to gain national interests, so that they violated discipline and law, slipped to the brink of danger and completely ruined themselves. Everything I have done is very serious and bad in nature … I am the secretary of the Party Committee of the Bureau of Gardens, the first person responsible for the work of party style and clean government, and I am also educating people on the surface, but (actually) I am a hypocrite. "


  Despite such a "profound" "understanding", Zhai Jianguo seems to be optimistic about his own destiny. "Learn from these mistakes, and you must repent (reform) and turn over a new leaf, and strive for a lighter and more lenient treatment. I am 50 years old this year, and my health is not very good. I have done some useful things for the country and society in the past … and I have problems in my life for the rest of my life. I am sure that the organization can keep my public office and give me hope for my future life … No matter what the organization does, I will accept it. "


  The reporter learned from many interviews that before the incident, Zhai Jianguo was quite low-key. As the head of the provincial capital city garden bureau, he almost never appeared in public, and there was almost no news about him on the Internet, let alone personal information such as his resume. Two old employees of the Bureau of Landscape Architecture told this reporter: "Zhai Bureau really attaches great importance to feelings, is easy-going to its subordinates, and is famous for its filial piety to the elderly at home."


  The staff of the Bureau of Landscape Architecture said


  He is a good leader who goes to work by bus.


  "Usually, he is strict with the employees of the unit. We didn’t expect Director Zhai to have such a thing!" When Zhai Jianguo was mentioned, several employees of Kunming Bureau of Landscape Architecture commented on him like this.


  "In our impression, we have never found anything wrong with Director Zhai. He is a good leader in the prime of life, but who would have thought that he would be such a person?" These workers also deliberately told reporters loudly that Zhai Jianguo gave everyone the impression that he was very principled. Except for office work, he never drove home by bus, and went to work by bus every day. He didn’t talk much at ordinary times, and he was amiable and approachable regardless of his superiors or the logistics staff of the unit.


  Another employee said in private that Zhai Jianguo gave him the impression that he was a "fat boy" in society. In the impression of the majority of employees, Zhai Jianguo often showed off his relationship with some leaders in the city as close friends, deliberately leaving others with the ability to "reach the sky with one hand".


  Zhai Jianguo’s archives

  □ Case reflection


  Giving property between relatives may also constitute a crime.


  Due to the special exchange of evidence before, the trial yesterday morning went very smoothly, lasting less than an hour and a half. At about 10: 30, the presiding judge announced that he would make a first-instance judgment on a certain date.


  "In my opinion, Zhai Jianguo can be said to have fallen because of’ love’. This love is brotherhood, and this is the particularity of this case. This particularity highlights a problem worthy of discussion, that is, giving property between relatives may also constitute a crime. " After the trial, lawyer Su Jianming, one of the defendants’ defenders, told the reporter.


  Lawyer Su said: Giving gifts to relatives and friends on major festivals or special days is a part of China’s ancient cultural tradition, which is understandable. In the vast majority of bribery and bribery cases, people who are judged to constitute crimes mainly give gifts to government workers. This is not controversial. However, this case is not the case. This case belongs to the economic exchanges between relatives. Because of the innate blood relationship between relatives, it is sometimes difficult to define whether this gift-giving behavior is purely for profit.


  "I know that the case is controversial when it is qualitative, but even as a lawyer of the defendant, I still think that this gift-giving behavior constitutes a crime. Because the relationship between giving gifts and receiving gifts and gifts should not affect the nature of the case. " Su Jianming said: This is the special educational significance of Zhai Jianguo’s bribery case. It can remind and warn other government workers, even among relatives, not to use their powers to open the door for each other’s interests, let alone accept each other’s "gratitude" and charge each other’s "thank you fee".
