2. The latest development of accident car maintenance chain in the United States

Last week, Vincent Romans, CEO of Roman Consulting Company, expressed his latest views on the accident car maintenance industry in the United States at the seminar on the development of accident car maintenance chain in Chicago Auto Show.

1. The market in the next five yearspredict

Vincent predicts that before 2021, the market share of the above-mentioned four giants, such as Boyd Group, will continue to grow, covering nearly 45% of the American accident car repair market, equivalent to a share of $16.7 billion (he estimates that the share of the entire accident car market segment is about $37.6 billion).

There are also 55% shares belonging to those small chain stores and single stores.

Vincent said: "We are now at another stage of the industry.Industry consolidation continues, but the speed has obviously slowed down. The Big Four are in no hurry to buy small chains at this stage.Instead, we are considering purchasing strategic clusters. "

"The market is currently in a temporary equilibrium state," Vincent said. "However, in the next two or three years, we will have another large-scale market contraction."

"At present, all kinds oftechnologyInnovation is playing a driving role, "Vincent said.

Diversified transformation in the industry will become the norm, which will lead to various simple and complex partnerships, alliances and market segments will be integrated.

2. Market conditions affecting the industry

At the meeting, Vincent cited various market conditions that affected the industry: stores increased DRP；; Advanced driver assistance system and automatic driving technology; Remote information processing; Supply chain integration;Alternative assessment model of margin pressure;predictive parsing;Photo evaluation;Main engine factory; The speed of technical iteration;Population, urbanization and changing lifestyles, etc.

Private equity funds have also entered the PBE supply chain.VincentIt is mentioned that PNC RiverArch Capital acquired Painter’s Supply, 21 of which are located in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Driven Brands cooperated with many private equity groups to establish a wider MSO (multi-store operation, which means chain operation) group franchise network in its Maaco and CARSTAR.

If they come together, it may not have that great influence, but together, they can be very powerful.VincentSay.

The above is a brief introduction to the American accident car maintenance market at this stage.

The year 2008 is a transitional ceremony of time renewal.

Say goodbye to the old year and enter the new year, and the time for a new cycle of four seasons will be regained, and human life will also enter a new journey. As the saying goes in China, "Nian" is called "Nian Guan", which inevitably reveals the meaning that it is not such an easy time threshold to pass the Chinese New Year.

China is rich in old customs, and there are also many taboos, which need people to treat and practice respectfully. Old people will say, "Chinese New Year is done day by day". The following "Chinese New Year’s Guide" is to take you through the Chinese New Year and teach you how to make the "Year" go by day.

New Year’s Eve: Say goodbye to the old, get rid of the special, and keep the lights on.

New year’s eve dinner The original hand-drawn painting is from the National Festival Handbook, Shanghai Museum (ed.), published by East China Normal University Press in April 2016.

The "year" of the ancients is more like a time pass that needs to be handled carefully than our current "year". According to Lu’s Spring and Autumn Annals and Ji Dong Ji, during the Zhou and Qin Dynasties, people used drums to drive away "ghosts of epidemic diseases" on the day before the New Year to ensure the safety and health of the next year, which was called "eviction", so the evening (evening) of this day was called "New Year’s Eve". The earliest mention of the name "New Year’s Eve" is the "Notes on Local Customs" written by Zhou Chu in the Western Jin Dynasty, in which it is said: "Late years are related to feedback, which is called feedback. Wine and food are invited for another year. On New Year’s Eve, Da Dan didn’t sleep, which was called keeping the year. " Therefore, the so-called "New Year’s Eve", the old year will be removed this evening, and the new year will be replaced tomorrow. Its core words are "farewell to the old" and "removing the special". Su (su), that is, ghosts and demons.

Posting blessings, couplets and New Year pictures. The source of original hand-drawn drawings is the same as above.

During the day of New Year’s Eve, we will start to do the work of "removing the old and creating the new": we should go to the house to clean up the family; Adults and children bathe in turn, which is called "washing the old"; There are also "changing door gods, hanging clocks, nailing peach symbols and sticking spring cards", which means that door couplets, New Year pictures, blessings and the like must be replaced with new ones; If there are patients at home, the leftover dregs need to be thrown out, which is called "losing all diseases".

In the evening, when everyone sits together to have a New Year’s Eve dinner, it pays more attention to auspicious meaning. The essential food for northerners is jiaozi, which means "making friends at a younger age" when the new year and the old year alternate. Southerners eat spring rolls, rice cakes and the like, and the meaning of rice cakes is "high every year". There are also some auspicious foods, such as "fish with more than one year", "Nostoc flagelliforme" and water chestnut, which are also popular among people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces because they look like ingots.

Step on the age. Original hand drawingThe source is the same as above.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, "Shounian" is not just sitting around, but also some interesting activities for recreation. For example, the popular "stepping on the old" in the northern region is to sprinkle sesame stalks on walking places such as courtyards, so that children can crush them and crack them, and the ghosts around them will be scared away. "Stepping on the old age" is actually "stepping on the precious". Similarly, the lucky money is actually "precious". In the era of using copper coins, lucky money should be threaded with brown rope, braided into a dragon shape and placed at the foot of a child’s bed.

On New Year’s Eve, one thing needs to be noted: the lights of vigil should stay on all night. As the folk saying goes, "Thirty fires, fifteen lights", it is the best way to drive away evil spirits with light!

From the first day to the fourth day: welcome the new year and celebrate the New Year, and keep taboos.

On New Year’s Day, we should get up early to welcome the new year. Because we have to set off firecrackers, go out to meet XiShen, and there are good men and women who want to go to the temple to burn incense at the age of four.

When the cock crows, firecrackers are set off first, and its intention, according to the "Record of the Age of Jingchu", is "to make the mountain ashamed of evil spirits". And "welcoming XiShen" means walking and worshipping Kyrgyzstan as mentioned in the almanac, and asking XiShen to bless himself at the age of one. In Shanghai, it’s also called "Happy God’s Prescription".

Happy new year. The source of original hand-drawn drawings is the same as above.

"Happy New Year" is an important theme at the beginning of the year. There is an order for New Year greetings. As far as folk families are concerned, the first is to worship the gods and ancestors, the second is to worship the elders and elders, and then the members of the family worship each other.

There are two points worth noting about New Year greetings. First of all, the traditional custom is to pay New Year greetings only at home on the first day, and not to go out to visit relatives and friends until the second day. Secondly, don’t make a mistake in the "bowing hand" ceremony in New Year’s greetings-China culture respects the left and takes the left as the yang, so when bowing, you need to make a fist with your right hand, palm your left hand, or wrap or cover your right fist. This bowing gesture is "Jibai"; On the contrary, it is fierce worship and can be used for mourning.

The first day is the first day of the new year, and people all hope that everything will go smoothly at the beginning of the year, which is a good sign. Therefore, there are many taboos on this day, and they often can’t be broken until the fifth day:

1. Avoid saying unlucky things. In case children spill the beans, many families put up a red note saying "Children’s words are unbridled" to crack it.

2. Avoid sweeping the floor, splashing water outside and taking out the garbage, because it is easy to sweep away the wealth at home. If the ground is dirty and must be swept, then sweep it inward, symbolizing that the treasure enters the door. After sweeping, put it in the trash can and keep it.

3. Avoid bathing, shampooing and washing clothes, so as not to wash away the good fortune of the year.

4, avoid breaking the cups and bowls. If you accidentally break the dishes, quickly say "peace".

5, when eating, avoid using boiled water to soak rice, and avoid using soup to soak rice, otherwise you will be lucky in the New Year.

"Mice Marry" paper-cut.

As the saying goes, "the first day is early, the second day is early, and the third day is full." The Chinese New Year is very busy and tiring these days. On the third night, people need to give themselves a reason to go to bed early, that is, "a mouse marries a woman". Everyone turns off the lights and goes to sleep early, so as not to disturb the happy event of mice marrying women. People often sprinkle some rice grains or cake crumbs on the corner of the house as a wedding gift to show that they can share a year’s harvest with mice. Therefore, New Year pictures and paper-cuts of "Mice Marry Women" and "Mice Marry" are also regarded as mascots among the people, and can be posted on walls or windows during the New Year.

The fifth day and the sixth day: break the ban, send the poor and welcome the god of wealth.

Set off firecrackers to welcome the god of wealth. The source of original hand-drawn drawings is the same as above.

In Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, there is a very important god to meet on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, that is, the God of Wealth, also known as the "Road Head God" or "Five Road God". "Five roads", as the name implies, are rich in things, north and south. Everyone loves the god of wealth, and it is very popular. The sooner you receive it, the more effective it will be. Therefore, it is said that the fifth day is the day to meet the gods, but people want to "grab the road" early on the fourth night.

Gu Lu, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, described this great event in Wu in Qing Jia Lu: "The fifth day of the first month is the birthday of Lu Tou Shen. Golden gongs and firecrackers, which are sacrificed to the past, are eager to make a profit, and they must get up early to meet them, which is called the end of the road. " After receiving God, everyone still has to eat road wine, often until dawn.

Shanghai welcomes the god of wealth with carp, also known as "silver ingot fish", and fishmongers call it "sending silver ingot fish". These customs, Yuan Zuzhi’s "Poems of Bamboo Branches on the Sea" wrote: "Yuanbao shouted to send it in, and Caidong made a fortune again tonight; Carps don’t jump into the dragon gate, but also offer gold and silver to Taiwan. “

There are also secular reasons for welcoming the god of wealth on the fourth night and the early morning of the fifth day. In the old days, Chinese New Year shops closed their doors on New Year’s Eve and reopened on the fifth day of the first month. This is connected with the god of wealth, so that we can "open the door to see wealth" and "make rich resources" smoothly and profitably.

Go poor. The source of original hand-drawn drawings is the same as above.

On the fifth day of the fifth day, the more popular customs in northern China are "breaking the fifth day" and "sending the poor", which belong to taboo and blessing activities. "Breaking Five", that is, those taboos in the past few days, can be lifted after this day. And "sending the poor" is also related to this. The garbage that was not dumped in order to accumulate wealth before was just cleaned up on this day, and this attention became "sending the poor".

There are many ways to send the poor. It’s simply that firecrackers are ringing in the morning and the garbage is dumped out of the door. The more complicated thing is to cut a villain ("poor daughter-in-law") with paper, and even let her carry a paper bag filled with garbage outside the door and burn it. In Han Yu’s "Send the Poor", it is mentioned that it is necessary to "make a car out of willows, bind grass as a boat, carry grain, tie the ox under the yoke, and sail on the pole" for the poor. That is to say, when sending the poor, it is necessary to prepare vehicles, boats and dry food for the poor and send them away quickly.

The ceremony of "seeing the poor off" can also be held on the sixth day of the sixth day, even on the dark day of the first month. Han Yu’s "sending the poor" is in the dark days. Dark day, that is, the last day of each month in the lunar calendar, and the dark day in the first month of the year, that is, "the first dark day", is particularly valued.

The seventh day: "People’s Day", Dai Sheng, seven dishes soup.

The seventh day of the Lunar New Year is "People’s Day", and the previous six days are "Livestock Day". The Chronicle of Jingchu’s Age quoted Dong Xun’s Asking about Etiquette and Custom as saying: "On the first day of the first month, you will be a chicken, on the second day, a dog, on the third day, a pig, on the fourth day, a sheep, on the fifth day, a cow, on the sixth day, a horse, and on the seventh day, you will be a human being. Zhengdan painted a chicken on the door and posted it on the account on the seventh day. " Therefore, "Today, no chickens, no dogs, no pigs, no sheep, no cattle, no horses, no execution, and no execution."

Dai Ren wins. The source of original hand-drawn drawings is the same as above.

The important custom of "People’s Day" on the seventh day of the seventh day is "wearing people to win", so "People’s Day" is also called "People’s Victory Festival". Human victory is a kind of ornament. Women cut the ribbon for flowers, or cut the ribbon for people, or carve gold foil for people, stick it on screens, bed curtains, or wear it in their hair to pray for blessings and avoid disasters. "Chronicle of Jingchu’s Years Old" explains the meaning of "Dai Ren Sheng", which means that "those who cut the ribbon will enter the New Year, and the description will be changed from the new one", that is, the New Year will take on a new look. This custom has been popular since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and it has been paid more and more attention since the Tang Dynasty. On every "People’s Day", the emperor gave the ministers colorful decorations to win, and gave them a big banquet to compose poems for the holidays, while the people cut the ribbon and gave them to each other. In Li Yuan’s poem "Cut the Ribbon" in the Tang Dynasty, there is a poem "A gift of money is given to a blind date, and a silver hairpin is decorated with a phoenix; Two birds in a row, two bridge people ".

The festive food of "People’s Day" is "seven-dish soup", which is a soup made by chopping seven kinds of vegetables and cooking them together. If you eat them, you can pray for the New Year and prevent all diseases. This food custom has declined in modern times. But interestingly, Japan will eat "seven grass porridge" on January 7th. This custom has been popular among Japanese people since the Edo period. In Japanese haiku, there is praise for seven grass porridge "The porridge tastes good and the intestines are longing for the Soviet Union". In fact, this custom was introduced from the ancient and popular seven dishes soup in China.

Recently, it unveiled its second model, Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008, which is positioned as a "family intelligent large SUV". It has a length of 5002mm, a wheelbase of 3025mm, and a 6-seat home layout of "2 + 2 + 2". The excellent body size makes Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 have very strong space attributes, making it a veritable "536" model. In this regard, we have also had a test drive experience of the vehicle and share with you some of the experience after the test drive.

In the actual test drive, the eπ 008 has three modes: pure electric priority, fuel priority, and mixed gasoline and electricity. The power response is still very positive, and it is more suitable for household use. It is recommended to drive pure electric priority in daily cities. While saving energy and being cost-effective, you can also enjoy the light driving experience brought by the tram.

When passing through the fine and bumpy road section, the filter of Dongfeng Yipai Eπ 008 is relatively in place, and it is generally comfortable. In steering, although driving such a big guy, the steering is still very flexible and not clumsy.

The NVH performance of the new car is also good. The eπ 008 uses 265/45 R21 size Continental silent tires. When driving on the gravel road at a speed of 90km/h, the noise in the car is about 75.8dB. When driving on high-speed sections, the wind noise control is good, and the wind sound is hardly audible. However, the tire noise of the vehicle is slightly obvious, which may be caused by the large tire width.

After saying dynamic, look at static

From the appearance, the EPi 008 adopts a closed front face design, which is also one of the popular features of the moment. The entire front part looks very sturdy, giving a very heavy feeling. The through light strip divides the front face into two, and there is a relatively complex built-in light source inside, which can support a variety of lights when lit, especially at night to create a very cool atmosphere.

On the side of the body, it is worth mentioning that there is also a small window between the C-pillar and the D-pillar, which can make the third-row passengers not feel depressed. In addition, the D-pillar is also equipped with a digital rhythm charging indicator light, which will produce different light changes when the vehicle is charging. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Dongfeng Yipai e π 008 are 5002mm × 1972mm × 1732mm, the wheelbase is 3025mm, and the positioning of the medium and large SUV is 0.268Cd.

At the rear of the car, the eπ 008 also uses a through-type taillight, and the internal lattice light source shape echoes the front of the car, which is highly recognizable after lighting.

Entering the car, the interior of the eπ 008 continues the interior design style, which is as windy as the appearance. Although the shape is simple, the texture is online. The six-seat layout of 2 + 2 + 2 will be more suitable for large families and can take care of everyone’s comfort.

Intelligent configuration,E π 008The intelligent cockpit is composed of an 8.8-inch instrument and a 15.6-inch central control screen. The car is the mainstream chip, and the impression I get from using it is that the screen is large, the car responds quickly, and the mainstream functions can be found quickly. The voice system responds quickly, and it can be 100% voice-controlled on the car-machine interface. The overall experience does not differ much from other models.

In terms of space, adjust the second row of seats to the final state. After riding with a height of 170cm, there is still room for more than 3 punches in the legs. After adjusting the second row to the remaining 2 punches, the third row of legroom also has 3 fingers of wealth. When 6 people travel at the same time, the third row is more suitable for passengers with a height of less than 175cm.Among them, you can also choose seats, leg supports, small table boards, headrests, and sunshades on the right side, which are all equipped with rich functions.

Write to the end

As a medium and large SUV, the Eπ 008 shows excellent competitiveness in terms of appearance, interior, comfort, power and intelligent configuration. The price of the 216,600 is also relatively close to the people. Recently, there are preferential policies, and the price of the limited-time car starts from 18,86 yuan. Interested friends can go to the store for a test drive and learn about your local preferential situation by the way.

Tesla will also launch a low-cost electric car! According to foreign media reports, Tesla recently disclosed the specific specifications, price and listing schedule of the low-cost electric car "Model Q" at the enterprise briefing (IR) for Deutsche Bank. It is reported that the Model Q is a small hatchback with a total length of less than 4m. It is equipped with a low-cost Ferrous lithium phosphate (LFP) battery, and the driving distance on a single charge will be close to 500km.

In terms of price, the actual purchase price of Model Q is expected to be less than $30,000 if it accepts the tax relief from the US government. This is more than $6,000 cheaper than Tesla’s current popular model "Model 3".

Tesla’s launch of low-priced models may be due to the competition with China’s BYD’s Dolphin or Volkswagen’s ID.3. It is worth mentioning that the hatchback style is aimed at the European market, which may also be Tesla’s counterattack against BYD, which has expanded its position in Europe.

And China BYD is also rapidly entering the world market. The most exported products of BYD are Dolphin and Yuan plus, and their names in overseas markets are Dolpin and Atto3 respectively. It is expected that these two cars will also compete with Tesla’s low-priced models. In particular, BYD is about to enter the Korean market, so it has attracted much attention. BYD Korea plans to open its first exhibition hall in Jiangxi District of Seoul in January next year to display "ATTO 3".

Experts predict that the trend of low-priced models in the electric vehicle market will be more obvious next year. The aggressive pricing policies of Tesla and BYD may advance the popularization of electric vehicles. However, changes in government subsidy policies and the global economic situation may become variables and need close attention.

Industry-related analysts said: "Next year’s electric vehicle market will be fierce competition between multinational companies centered on Tesla and BYD and traditional automobile brands Volkswagen, Toyota and Hyundai. This will provide consumers with a variety of choices and become an opportunity to popularize electric vehicles in advance. "

　　Food and nutrition, as one of the brilliant cultural achievements of the Chinese nation, has taken root and sprouted in this land since ancient times and has been passed down to this day. The history of feeding can be divided into two stages: the first stage is the enlightenment and growth stage before the Tang Dynasty; The second stage is the stage of development, maturity and prosperity after Sun Simiao first put forward the theory of dietotherapy in Tang Dynasty. However, after the introduction of western medicine and nutrition into China, the concepts of food support and dietotherapy seem to become more and more vague, and their application is also confusing, lacking effective guidance. In order to trace the source and use it in order, today we mainly talk about the problem of food support before the Tang Dynasty from a historical perspective. Based on this, what we refer to as food and medicine refer to substances that have traditional usage habits and history in China, so medicine naturally refers to Chinese medicine or Chinese herbal medicines.

　　First, what is food support

　　According to the Book of Rites, as early as the Zhou Dynasty, there were full-time food doctors in the palace, whose main duty was to provide reasonable diet and nutrition for the Zhou royal family.

　　The word "feeding and nourishing" first appeared in the "On the Five Permanent Political Powers" in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine (hereinafter referred to as the "Classic of Internal Medicine"), and it said: "The disease is new for a long time, and it is toxic and non-toxic, so it is appropriate to make it regular. Great poison cures diseases, and ten goes to the sixth; Often poison cures diseases, and ten goes to the seventh; A small poison cures a disease, and ten goes to eight; Non-toxic treatment, nine out of ten. Grain, meat, fruits and vegetables are exhausted, and they are not used to it, which hurts them. "

　　Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a healthy human body should be in a state of yin and yang balance, and illness is the reason for the imbalance of yin and yang. Medication mainly relies on the bias of drugs (some of which are toxic) to intervene in the human body in order to achieve a re-balance between yin and yang. If some drugs are cold, they can treat heat syndrome; Some drugs are too hot to treat cold syndrome. This is what Chinese medicine often says: "those who are cold are hot, and those who are hot are cold." Since drugs are obviously biased, even if they are not toxic, they are not suitable for long-term use without the guidance of doctors. For example, Cordyceps sinensis is a good thing and has no toxicity, but not everyone can eat it. Even the same person is suitable for eating today, but it may not be suitable for eating after a while. Nowadays, many people always think that Chinese medicine is very safe, and it is very wrong to eat it at random without the guidance of a doctor.

　　The quotation in the above-mentioned Neijing holds that medication should not be used too much, and it should stop at the stage of "healing" when the disease is cured, and use "food support" for recuperation and rehabilitation. This is to carry out rehabilitation work by choosing food with relatively more peaceful taste instead of medicine. Why do you want to do this? Neijing holds that "it hurts the righteousness". That is, I am afraid that it will hurt the healthy qi of the human body. According to modern theory, it is afraid that it will hurt the immunity and resistance of the human body. This is the source of food and nutrition.

　　Therefore, we must make it clear that the so-called food cultivation is a method to prepare corresponding food for human consumption through selecting appropriate ingredients, reasonable collocation and appropriate cooking and production methods, so as to recuperate the healthy qi of human body.

　　Second, the connotation of food support

　　As mentioned in the above quotation, when drugs are used to treat diseases, whether toxic or non-toxic, they should stop when the disease has gone to its sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth, and use more peaceful food instead of drugs to complete the aftercare work. I am afraid that if drugs are used blindly, even if they are non-toxic, their bias will damage the healthy qi of the human body. Therefore, the first aspect of the connotation of food and nutrition is the embodiment of the traditional Chinese medicine’s thought of "stopping the disease in the middle" and "eliminating evil without hurting righteousness" We modern people are always anxious to see the disease well, but often fall into the situation of overtreatment without knowing it. It is sad that children are eager to use antibiotics to reduce their fever as soon as they have a fever, so as to reduce their parents’ own worries and troubles.

　　There is a saying in the article "On the Time of Dirty Qi Method" in Neijing Su Wen: "Poison attacks evil, grains feed, five fruits help, five animals benefit, five dishes are filled, and the smells are combined to supplement lean qi."

　　Five grains, five fruits, five livestock and five vegetables are all foods. When they are used reasonably and balanced in nutrition, they can achieve the effect of replenishing essence. Supplementing essence and qi belongs to the category of "strengthening the body" mentioned by traditional Chinese medicine. "Eliminating pathogenic factors" and "strengthening body resistance" are the main methods of treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. The so-called eliminating pathogenic factors means using the partiality of drugs to eliminate pathogenic factors in the body, just like marching to fight, which means expelling the enemy from the country; The so-called righting means mainly using some drugs with tonic effect to support and cultivate healthy qi in the body, which means strengthening the strength of one’s own army. From the interpretation of Neijing, the righting can be done not only by drugs, but also by reasonable diet. Therefore, the second connotation of food support is the embodiment of the thought of "strengthening the body" in traditional Chinese medicine.

　　Third, the content of food support

　　Through the interpretation of Neijing and related classics, food and nutrition is still a guiding principle of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, the three-factor diet recuperation methods and dietary taboos due to people, time and place. The so-called "because of people" is based on individual’s different physique or illness; The so-called timing is based on different seasons or times; The so-called place is based on different regions or environments.

　　The content of food and nutrition mainly includes three parts: food suitability, food taboo and food and nutrition prescription.

　　The so-called food suitability refers to deciding what to eat, what ingredients to choose, what processing methods to use, etc. according to the above-mentioned three-cause principle, in order to maintain or recuperate the body to a healthy state of yin and yang. This part of the content has long been systematically expounded in Neijing, such as different foods suitable for eating according to seasons and different dietary guidance according to diseases.

　　On the issue of ingredients, we must point out that many people like to add some Chinese herbal medicines to their food. For safety reasons, please be sure to look for them in the list of 87 "dual-use" Chinese herbal medicines published by the National Health and Family Planning Commission.

　　About food taboos, it is also a dietary taboo based on personal health according to the guiding principles of the above three reasons. Generally speaking, food taboos generally refer to all dietary taboos, including those in healthy state, food dosage, food quality (i.e. whether it goes bad or not), food collocation and diseases. Dietary taboos during illness, commonly known as taboos, are mostly recorded in prescriptions of past dynasties.

　　As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were a large number of books on food classics in China (unfortunately, most of them were lost), and some food-nourishing prescriptions gradually appeared. Most of them were presented in the form of medicinal diet, such as Zhang Zhongjing’s "Pig Skin Soup", which was made of fresh pigskin, white honey and white powder, but the appearance of a large number of food-nourishing prescriptions had to wait until the Tang and Song Dynasties.

　　Fourth, the application of food and nutrition

　　Before Sun Simiao put forward the theory of "dietotherapy" in Tang Dynasty, the content of diet recuperation in China was mainly manifested in food support. So, what were the main applications of food support before the Tang Dynasty?

　　First of all, of course, in the daily diet guidance, a reasonable diet is the application of food support.

　　Secondly, it is mainly used in the rehabilitation stage after treatment. As the saying in Neijing says, "Eat and nourish everything", after the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth diseases are removed, the recovery of the body is promoted by eating and nourishing. According to modern theory, on the one hand, it relies on its own immunity to fight against external evils, on the other hand, reasonable food and nutrition itself has a certain function of "replenishing essence and qi" to strengthen its own immunity, and a combination of the two can promote the recovery of the body. This application of food nutrition can effectively avoid the harm to human body in the process of drug use and prevent the occurrence of over-medical treatment, which is especially worth learning from. Of course, the choice of food and support depends on the specific situation.

　　Thirdly, feeding and nourishing is an important way to cure the disease before it happens. Since reasonable food and nutrition can play an effective role in "replenishing essence and qi", the body will naturally be less prone to illness.

　　Before the Tang Dynasty, food support was still in the stage of enlightenment and growth. The author believes that food support is not so much technology as thought and culture. In the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao, a famous doctor, effectively inherited and carried forward the thought and culture of food support, and innovatively put forward the theory of "food treatment". Subsequently, a large number of dietotherapy monographs and prescriptions appeared, marking the gradual transition of food support culture from the enlightenment and growth stage before the Tang Dynasty to the development, maturity and prosperity stage.

Huaqiang North’s transformation from "the first electronic street in China" to "a beauty mecca" was interrupted by an anti-smuggling operation.

At the end of December 2020, the customs anti-smuggling department and the local police in Shenzhen jointly launched a centralized crackdown on gangs suspected of smuggling through cross-border e-commerce platforms, and investigated suspected smuggled shops in several shopping malls such as Huaqiang North Manha Beauty Trading Center. After investigation, criminal gangs were suspected of smuggling goods worth over 600 million yuan.

A big purge is inevitable.

On the first working day in 2021, the Shenzhen Municipal Market Supervision Bureau and the public security departments jointly launched a major inspection on the smuggling and selling of fake cosmetics stalls in Huaqiang North, and many large cosmetics markets such as Mingtong Cosmetics Market and Manha Beauty Trading Center were closed for rectification from now on.

After the rectification, the reporter visited Huaqiang North Mingtong Beauty Market, Manha Beauty Trading Center, Yuanwang Shopping Mall and other places many times. These shopping malls have hung banners of "anti-smuggling, counterfeiting, building integrity and promoting development". Aftershocks are still being delayed, and beauty vendors withdraw their goods overnight and transfer their warehouses to Longgang and Longhua in Shenzhen to avoid rectification. A number of businesses plan to transfer their stores. Huaqiang went north to the critical moment.

"Smuggling has plagued Huaqiang North for many years, and the problem has never been cured." On January 7, Huang Liheng (pseudonym), who has been doing business in Huaqiang North for many years, disclosed to reporters that the smuggling methods of unscrupulous merchants are diverse and have undergone many "iterative evolutions".

In the early days, some unscrupulous merchants carried goods by smuggling, smuggling by fishing boats or trucks and taxis, and then developed "water passengers" to carry goods to avoid customs supervision; Recently, the modus operandi has escalated, and smuggling through cross-border e-commerce has become one of the main forms.

Some merchants have also broken through the regulatory restrictions through overseas purchasing and peer-to-peer collusion (merchants exchange different types of goods to enrich the types of goods). These goods that come through smuggling and abnormal channels are collectively referred to as "parallel imports" in Huaqiang North, and are shipped in large quantities through various channels, and the goods are scattered to various places.

The original article was first published on January 11, 2021, and the original title was "Deep | Starting the North American Cosmetic Smuggling Industry Chain in shenzhen huaqiang: Fake Customs Clearance in the Name of Cross-border E-commerce", which does not represent the view of the think tank.

one

The smuggling chain has a clear division of labor

"Huaqiang North has a trade gene, and the market chose Huaqiang North." In Huang Liheng’s view, Huaqiang North’s e-commerce and supporting industrial chain are mature, with outstanding advantages in information, logistics and talents, making it a distribution center for beauty products.

According to the requirements of the General Administration of Customs, when importing goods, the information of "three orders" such as transaction, payment and logistics should be transmitted to the customs, and the customs will only release them after comparing the "three orders". In order to meet the requirements of "three orders are consistent", criminals buy other people’s identity information through illegal channels and create false "three orders" information.

The reporter learned from many people close to Huaqiang North that the participants in cross-border e-commerce smuggling include third-party operating platforms (platforms with cross-border e-commerce qualifications, such as foreign trade companies), logistics companies, payment companies, software development companies, etc., and their division of labor is clear:

Some e-commerce platforms have open ports, allowing customers to import sales data from other platforms for generating trading orders. There are even e-commerce platforms that provide so-called "special logistics services" to help customers transport cross-border e-commerce goods out of the bonded area.

Software development companies create false purchase information by importing illegally obtained resident identity information; The payment company fabricates payment information according to false orders; Logistics companies provide "empty delivery" and generate false logistics orders.

This is exactly the same as the modus operandi identified by the customs. On December 28, 2020, Yu Xiaopeng, deputy section chief of the investigation department of Shekou Branch of Shenzhen Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau, said in an interview with CCTV News that the smugglers organized the goods abroad and then handed them over to the customs clearance gang, and then the customs clearance gang used the personal information of citizens purchased through illegal channels to deceive the customs with false payment bills and false logistics bills, and transported the goods into China through cross-border e-commerce.

On January 7, Su Xiaofeng (pseudonym), a supplier of cosmetics market in Mingtong, told reporters that the supply of cosmetics market in Mingtong is different, and Estee Lauder, Chanel and YSL are from Europe and America. Baxian Bitong, Qingcao Ointment, Ray and other products are from Thailand; AHC, WHOO, Yueshi Fengyin, Kerun and other products are sourced from Japan and South Korea. In addition, some of Mingtong’s products come from Russia and Vietnam. Although the price is lower, the logistics cost is high.

"I learned that a team has deployed more than 400 people in South Korea to purchase, enter personal information through plug-in software, and generate personal orders. They get goods in Korean duty-free shops on a large scale, and they can also get low-priced discounts. The purchased products are first sent to Hong Kong and then shipped to Shenzhen. " Su Xiaofeng revealed.

Huaqiang North, which is still moving goods at night, was photographed by a reporter from Time Weekly.

How to break through the duty-free limit?

According to the Notice on Improving the Tax Policy of Retail Import in cross-border electronic commerce jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance, the General Administration of Customs and the State Administration of Taxation (hereinafter referred to as the Notice), the single transaction limit of cross-border electronic commerce’s retail import goods is raised from RMB 2,000 to RMB 5,000, and the annual transaction limit is raised from RMB 20,000 to RMB 26,000. This regulation will be implemented as of January 1, 2019.

How to break through the upper limit of duty-free quota is the most critical link in the smuggling chain.

"Smugglers get other people’s identity information out and steal his quota. They plug-in software to obtain private information, and can steal more than 10,000 pieces of personal information at a time. It is better to use the information of people who have gone abroad less. They are almost not in consumption abroad, so it is difficult to find that the credit line has been stolen. When an identity quota is used up, it will be kicked out of the list library. " Su Xiaofeng said. Su Xiaofeng refused to disclose details such as the source of personal identity information, the name of plug-in software and whether the software was developed by the team itself.

"Water passengers" are favored by more small businesses because of their simple operation, although their single cargo volume is small.

On January 10th, Jia Lin (a pseudonym), a purchasing agent, told reporters that the upper limit of individual customs clearance is 5,000 yuan, and the purchasing agent will calculate and distribute the goods to ensure that the goods carried by each "water passenger" do not exceed this upper limit, and the customs clearance will be carried out in the form of "ants moving". The customs will conduct spot checks on customs clearance individuals, and frequent "water passengers" are also likely to be punished.

"Before the epidemic, many online purchasing agents hired people to go to Hongkong to carry goods, and each person was paid from 200 yuan to 300 yuan every day. White households who have not been in Hong Kong for half a year can get higher remuneration. " Jia Lin said.

On January 7, Xu Minhua (pseudonym), who has been engaged in the foreign trade industry in Shenzhen for 10 years, told reporters that individuals have a tax-free ceiling for overseas shopping and do not enjoy tax-free concessions for purchasing in the name of the company. Companies need to obtain import and export rights before they can purchase overseas. After purchasing, they have to declare the purchase scale and price to the customs, and they can only enter the customs after being approved, but they have to pay corresponding taxes.

Some unscrupulous companies also have the means to clear customs with low taxes and fees. They "exchange civet cats for princes" and declare products with lower taxes and fees, but actually replace them with products with higher taxes and fees, or mix products with different taxes and fees to achieve the purpose of tax evasion. "Some are transported in containers, and some are cleared with other companies." Xu Minhua said.

Upstream procurement modes are different.

Many merchants in Huaqiang North told reporters that the customs clearance methods of "parallel imports" are different, and the upstream procurement methods are also different: small businesses rely on purchasing to spell orders, medium-sized businesses collude with their peers, and large businesses take advantage of funds to prepay the payment in advance, which has already appeared. Financial practice.

Purchasing is the main force supporting the sales of beauty products.

On January 8, Lin Lin (pseudonym), a practitioner of Huaqiang North Beauty Shop, told reporters that Huaqiang North Beauty Market has obvious advantages in low price and is very popular among purchasing people. "This is especially true after Hong Kong is closed." Purchasing often forms a group of "spelling orders" and goes to Huaqiang North to purchase in large quantities. These purchasing agents "open a group" in their respective customer groups. A bottle of 300ml Lancome powder water is sold at Tmall flagship store for 435 yuan, and the group price can be as low as 205 yuan.

Lin Lin said that the greater the purchase volume, the lower the purchase price. Vendors usually buy a single beauty product in large quantities and then string goods with other businesses. Objectively speaking, cross-selling can also reduce the financial pressure on merchants to hoard goods.

On January 8, Guo Jiawen (pseudonym), who is familiar with Huaqiang North Beauty Market, said that the market is now mature, and there have been many kinds of financial methods for Huaqiang North smugglers. In order to get a lower purchase price, many people will use the "single-order" procurement model to set up a procurement fund to focus on overseas shopping.

"The price of beauty products fluctuates greatly, and buyers will pay in advance to lock the price and receive the goods later. Due to the large purchase volume, the purchase fund will also affect the price trend of products to a certain extent. Once Huaqiang North sneezed, and the national electronic market caught a cold. Now several large procurement funds can affect product prices, and the (market) is so fierce. " Guo Jiawen said.

"Parallel imports" are also mixed with "fake goods" and flow to the market together.

"Real goods are sold to first-and second-tier cities or professional beauty markets, and fakes are sold to third-and fourth-tier cities or personal beauty shops." According to Lin Lin, most smuggled goods in Huaqiang North are mixed with fakes and sold together.

Lin Lin calculated an account: the entrance fee for ordinary stalls in the cosmetics market in Mingtong started at 300,000 yuan, and the minimum monthly rent was about 30,000 yuan/square meter. The monthly rent for stalls of 10 square meters was 300,000 yuan, plus the deposit for shopping malls, purchase funds and labor costs, etc., a store had to operate at least one million yuan per month.

"If we only rely on selling parallel imports, the money for tax evasion cannot support such a large scale of funds." Lin Lin said that Huaqiang North beauty vendors mostly sell in a mixed way. "Some merchants will mix 10% of fakes in the same batch, and some merchants are 100% fakes."

When anti-smuggling is going on

Over the years, the regulatory authorities have always maintained a high-pressure situation on smuggling, and repeatedly concentrated on rectifying and regulating the supply of Huaqiang North to maintain market order.

In May 2013, Shenzhen Customs and Shenzhen police successfully destroyed a "water passenger" network smuggling well-known brand mobile phones, and smashed 16 "water passenger" smuggling gangs, involving 105 suspects, with a case value of nearly 1 billion yuan.

According to the official disclosure at that time, this was the largest smuggling case involving the largest amount and the largest number of people detected in Shenzhen during the decade from 2003 to 2013. It is mainly composed of smuggling gangs at all levels, such as overseas cargo gangs, port "water passengers" customs clearance gangs, and domestic collection and delivery gangs. In the same year, Shenzhen Customs launched nine large-scale operations against "water passengers" in succession, and destroyed 72 smuggling gangs of electronic products, with a case value of nearly 3 billion yuan.

Huaqiang North, once the national gathering place of electronic and digital products, has gradually transformed into the beauty industry in recent years. Some unscrupulous merchants have also begun to use cross-border e-commerce platforms to smuggle beauty products to gain product price advantages.

On January 8, Gong Zhuo, a lawyer of Beijing Deheheng (Shanghai) Law Firm, told reporters that according to the provisions of the Notice, the domestic buyers of cross-border e-commerce retail imports must be individuals and may not sell them again. In the smuggling case of beauty cosmetics in Huaqiang North, the beauty cosmetics imported by merchants are sold in China. This "B2B" trade should be imported through "general trade", and customs duties and value-added tax in the import link should be paid. In the case of high-end beauty cosmetics, consumption tax is also required.

"Merchants should buy goods imported by’ general trade’ in the name of cross-border e-commerce retail imports, forge personal purchase information, enjoy preferential tax rates that they cannot enjoy, and it is also a smuggling act of falsely reporting trade." Gong Zhuo analyzed and pointed out.

According to the "Notice", if the single transaction of cross-border electronic commerce retail imported goods is less than RMB 5,000, and the personal annual transaction limit is less than RMB 26,000, the tariff rate is 0%; Import value-added tax and consumption tax are levied at 70% of the statutory tax payable.

On January 10th, Bai Wenxi, chief economist of IP Global China, told reporters that the spontaneously formed market is inevitably disturbed by problems such as disorder of order and product quality. "Market practitioners and regulatory authorities should adapt to changing needs, focus on the sustainable development and sustained prosperity of the industry, and do a good job in maintaining industry norms and order." Bai Wenxi said.

Almost all the beauty shops are closed! "The Change of Huaqiang North" is mired in the "smuggling vortex" of 600 million yuan …

Shenzhen Huaqiang North was once known as "the first electronic street in China". At present, most merchants here are engaged in beauty products instead. However, after investigation, Shenzhen Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau found that behind the dazzling array of brand-name cosmetics, there is a criminal chain of smuggling through cross-border e-commerce platforms.

This article was reprinted from WeChat WeChat official account’s "CCTV Finance" (ID： cctvyscj), and the original text was first published on January 7, 2021 with the title "Almost all beauty shops are closed! "The change of Huaqiang North" is deeply involved in the "smuggling vortex" of 600 million yuan … ",which does not represent the view of a think tank.

Shenzhen Customs cracked the smuggling case of famous brand cosmetics.

The case value exceeds 600 million yuan.

CC beauty cosmetics in Huaqiang North Mingtong Digital Mall is one of the key places in this investigation. The anti-smuggling police found here that in addition to internationally renowned brand cosmetics made in Europe and America, there are many cosmetics made in Japan and South Korea, covering skin care water, eye shadow, lipstick, sunscreen and other varieties.

After counting, the value of the goods seized on the spot is about 2 million yuan. In Huaqiang North, the anti-smuggling police also investigated several suspected smuggling shops in shopping malls such as Harman Digital Plaza. After investigation, criminal gangs were suspected of smuggling goods worth more than 600 million yuan.

Yu Xiaopeng, deputy section chief of the investigation department of Shekou Branch of Shenzhen Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau, said that these four gangs include customs clearance gangs and cargo owners gangs, which buy personal information of citizens through illegal channels, create false orders, false payment bills and false logistics bills, and then deceive the customs and transport goods into China.

Huaqiang North Beauty Shop is almost closed.

Shelf emptying

At present, how is the operation of Huaqiang North Business Circle?

The reporter saw at the scene that more than 98% of the beauty shops in Huaqiang North’s business district are still in a closed state, and the shelves in the store are empty, and there is almost no spot. Some merchants still post WeChat QR codes or mobile phone numbers outside the store, which is convenient for customers to contact.

Red banners such as "Combating Smuggling, Benefiting the Country and the People, Participation by the Whole People, Prohibiting Smuggling", "Prospering Business with Honesty, Abiding by the Law and Win-Win" are posted everywhere in these shopping malls, and some of them are marked with "Announcement of Huaqiang North Sub-district Office" in the lower right corner.

Although the stores have been closed, there are still people coming and going in the major beauty cities, and many of them are beauty practitioners who come to inquire about the situation.

Huaqiang North beauty practitioners said: "Because the goods are sent back from various duty-free shops, without formal customs declaration and tax payment, its price will definitely be cheap."

It is understood that China’s laws stipulate that "the contents that should be indicated on the outer packaging, instructions and small packages of imported cosmetics must be recorded in Chinese". Once the businesses that sell illegally are reported or found by relevant departments, they will be fined and closed for rectification.

From the once "China Electronic First Street" to the once prosperous beauty store, the transformation of Huaqiang North was once considered as a gorgeous turn. This severe action against smuggling has once again plunged Huaqiang North into the whirlpool of "parallel imports" and "fake goods". The state’s strict investigation and rectification of Huaqiang North Beauty City is to better correct the market. If Huaqiang North wants to find its former glory, it can no longer be opportunistic, but needs a real foundation.

　　Spring Festival is the warmest festival in Chinese’s heart.

　　On February 1st, on the eve of the Spring Festival in the Year of the Loong, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Tianjin for investigation and investigation, and visited the grassroots cadres and masses.

　　In recent years, in the poverty-stricken areas with deep mountains and long roads, in the border areas of the frozen motherland and in the snow-covered towns and villages, on the eve of the Spring Festival, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader will visit the people of all ethnic groups, ask about the family, ask about the temperature, listen to the voice of the people and send blessings.

　　"On the occasion of the New Year, I am most concerned about the people in difficulty. How do they eat and live? Can they have a good New Year and a good Spring Festival?"

　　"As long as there is a family and even a person who has not solved the basic living problems, we can’t take it easy; As long as the people’s longing for a happy life has not yet become a reality, we must work tirelessly to unite and lead the people to struggle together. "

　　… …

　　Looking back, the deepest concern makes people feel warm.

　　This time, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Tianjin, and the first stop was Liubu Village, Xinkou Town, Xiqing District. He learned about the recovery of local agricultural production after the flood disaster last year and visited the affected people.

　　During the Spring Festival, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader is always worried about the affected people, worrying about whether they can eat and wear warm clothes and whether their production and life have settled down.

　　In February 2013, the Supreme Leader made his first inspection on the eve of the Spring Festival after serving as the general secretary, and walked along the steep mountain road into Dongxiang Autonomous County of Gansu Province, which had suffered landslide disaster. At the reconstruction site, the General Secretary requested to adhere to overall arrangement, safe construction and ensure progress and quality.

　　In February 2018, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, who was inspecting in Sichuan, made a special trip to the epicenter of the Wenchuan earthquake — — Yingxiu town, Wenchuan county, take a look at the recovery and reconstruction of the disaster area and how the people are living.

　　In January, 2022, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader braved the snowstorm and cold to come to Fengnanyuan Village, Shizhuang Township, huozhou city, Shanxi Province, to inspect the reconstruction, ask about replanting and pay attention to winter.

　　"I have always missed the people in the disaster area." In November last year, when inspecting the post-disaster recovery and reconstruction work in Shuiyuzui Village, Miaofengshan Town, Mentougou District, Beijing, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said to everyone, "communist party is a party that serves the people and always puts the people in the highest position in its heart, whether it is disaster relief or post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, it will go all out."

　　Go all out and do everything for the people. In the footprint of the Spring Festival, it is the constant concern of "keeping the safety of ordinary people in mind at all times".

　　Leaving the warm homes and vegetable fields of the villagers in Liubu Village, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Tianjin Ancient Culture Street to inspect the supply situation of the festival market.

　　Bread is the staff of life. The "vegetable basket" is connected with the villagers’ harvest at one end and the dining tables of thousands of households at the other. When he was a city leader in Fuzhou, the top leader comrades took grasping the "vegetable basket" as the top priority and looked at the price of vegetables every day.

　　The Spring Festival is approaching, and the "vegetable basket", "rice bag" and "fruit plate" on the shelves are related to the annual flavor concentration and the happy life of thousands of people in Qian Qian.

　　The supply of holiday market is a matter that the Supreme Leader General Secretary often pays attention to on the eve of the Spring Festival.

　　In front of the stall in the vegetable market, I care about "has the price of vegetables gone up?" "Are there many local dishes?" In the cooked food area of the supermarket, I was told, "Be sure to pay attention to food hygiene, mark the date of production, and don’t sell expired food". In the busy New Year’s Street, ask carefully about the sales of New Year’s goods and the price of pork. When you walk into people’s homes, you often ask how the new year’s shopping is going.

　　The mountain is a journey, the water is a journey, one branch and one leaf, and it is meticulous. In the footprint of the Spring Festival, it is "to do things that are beneficial to the people, no matter how small."

　　I still remember that on the eve of the Spring Festival in 2018, when the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader walked to a cloth shoe display in Zhanqi Village, Chengdu, the villagers enthusiastically picked up a pair of cloth shoes and wanted to give them to the General Secretary. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader smiled and said, "I will spend money to buy a pair!" The villagers responded: "This represents our wishes. It’s hard for you to go to the grassroots."

　　"I am willing to take advantage of the wind to blow far away, and my hometown lane will be a spring." Tireless footprints, constant mourning, full of true feelings for the people, give people warmth and strength.

　　● The cultural consciousness of supplement lies in providing a broad stage for people to publish excellent works and offering elegant and high-quality spiritual food for readers. Cultural self-confidence lies in inheriting excellent quality and rejuvenating creativity.

　　At present, we are not very familiar with the characteristics, discourse system and language style of network communication, and the law of network communication needs to be further understood, but we must learn to borrow from the network.

　　Supplement is an important part of newspaper. In order to enhance the communication power and influence of newspapers, supplements must consciously shoulder the heavy responsibility of promoting advanced culture, spreading knowledge and enlightening thoughts. In recent years, due to many reasons, readers and authors of supplements have lost more: the diversity of cultural choices, the exclusive newspaper and the eye-catching scenery of supplements are no longer; Literature has lost its social sensational effect, and people’s enthusiasm for literature and attention to supplements have decreased; The core readers are getting older, and the supplement is still not attractive to young readers; The ranks of authors are shrinking. Due to the fierce competition in the media, the publishing threshold is lowered, and the author resources are constantly divided.

　　The rapid rise of new media, such as the Internet, and its unique characteristics of immediacy, mass and strong interaction have also brought pressure to traditional print media. As a supplement with a long history, it is also inevitably impacted. Facing the changes in the mode of public opinion production and communication, and the changes in readers’ reading habits, the supplement bears the heavy responsibility of nourishing the soul and rallying strength. How to better play the role of spreading the spiritual value and spiritual pursuit of Chinese culture requires further clarification of ideas, a clear understanding of advantages, self-confidence and in-depth thinking.

　　Pay attention to news, jump out of news and highlight cultural characteristics.

　　The supplement has a history of more than 100 years since its publication. Although the supplement is the supplement and extension of the news magazine, since the founding of New China, the supplement has always kept pace with the society and the times, closely linked with the new life, and has a strong sense of the times and a fresh breath of life, which is deeply loved by readers.

　　In the traditional sense, supplements are mostly pure literary supplements. In recent years, in order to meet the increasing multicultural needs of readers and expand their communication power and influence, after a relatively large reform and adjustment-from literature to art to cultural field, the content of supplements has become wider and wider, and the forms have become more flexible and diverse. As far as People’s Daily is concerned, in addition to literary supplements, there are also supplements such as art, collection, reading and in-depth research, which further enhances its news, richness and readability. This is the adjustment and response made by newspaper supplements in the face of the rapid development situation, which reflects the trend of newspapers from focusing on the advantages of hard news to focusing on the advantages of soft news at the same time.

　　Of course, this adjustment also means that the newspaper has changed from focusing on the quality characteristics of the supplement to focusing on the combination characteristics of the new and the new. The so-called combination of literature and innovation is to embody both the characteristics of newsprint and the characteristics of "culture" On the one hand, close to reality, close to life, close to the masses, pay attention to major news events, major theme propaganda and social hotspots, and highlight the theme of the times; On the other hand, the theme that readers care about is expressed in the form of literature and art, which conforms to the characteristics of the supplement, so that readers can gain a deep understanding from the corresponding literary works, that is, follow the news and jump out of the news.

　　There is also a key sign of jumping out of the news, that is, fully embodying the profound humanistic spirit and cultural character of the supplement and maintaining independent reading and aesthetic value. The important characteristics of supplement are cultural, nourishing and rich. It shows the style of newspaper in the profundity of thought, condenses poetry and painting in the surging life, conveys the power of culture in the publicity of historical rationality and humanistic value, and makes the supplement works stand up to chewing. This is a must for the supplement to "moisten things silently". Zhao Chaogou, a famous newspaper reporter, said: "News is the soul of a newspaper, and the supplement is the face of the newspaper. Whether a newspaper can stand or not depends mainly on the supplement." Here, "enduring" refers to the cultural characteristics of the supplement itself.

　　Closely obeying the overall situation of national construction, cooperating with major theme propaganda, paying attention to social hotspots and focal points, complementing the content and form with newspaper news through literary and artistic works with individuality, and taking into account the realistic concern and literary characteristics, have become the remarkable characteristics of newspaper supplements, and are also the new reading growth points of newspapers in recent years.

　　Adhere to character, lead value, and reflect spiritual height.

　　Adhering to character means carrying forward mainstream values, inheriting the essence of culture and reflecting the height, thickness and temperature of the times. The responsibility of the supplement is to publicize and explain the party’s literary principles and policies, to unite the common ideals of society and establish a good moral style, to spread advanced culture and to guide the healthy development of culture. Under the current situation, it is necessary to strive to carry forward the deepest cultural soft power of the Chinese nation and spread the deepest spiritual pursuit accumulated in Chinese culture. Only by adhering to the organic unity of value guidance and cultural character, inspiring people with excellent works and shaping people with noble spirit can newspaper supplements enlighten readers deeply.

　　Nowadays, China has entered a period of social transformation and reform, and profound changes have taken place in the world, the country, the party, the people and the public opinion. The cultural environment in which we live is more complicated, and the construction of a cultural "soft environment" is particularly urgent. Supplement is a mirror of social culture, observing the social life at all stages and levels, and is a benchmark in the process of social and cultural development. At this time, the supplement should more consciously adhere to the correct direction of public opinion, pay extensive attention to the complex reality of social transformation, strive to grasp the cultural life and inner world of contemporary people, produce more excellent works, enrich people’s spiritual and cultural life, and refine the cultural depth and spiritual height for the society with its profound ideological, unique artistic and unique aesthetic functions.

　　At present, it is also an era of rapid development. The material temptations are increasing, and people’s hearts are easy to float. Coupled with the popularity of fast food culture, the fragmented dissemination of information and the uproar in the network public opinion space, it is of great significance to build a spiritual home and stick to the supplement. A writer said that when society is confused, supplements should stay awake; When society is too utilitarian, supplements should give more dreams to life. This dream is ideal belief. Supplements can’t cater to and flatter the vulgar, especially in the historical process of building a socialist cultural power and realizing the great Chinese dream of the Chinese nation. Supplements must be responsible, responsible and conscientious, and show social integrity and transmit positive energy with works that combine ideological and literary features. The sincere and artistic expression and lofty spirit of the supplement have far-reaching significance.

　　Give full play to your advantages, feel confident, and constantly bravely surpass them.

　　In the final analysis, the advantages of newspaper supplements are the advantages of orientation, brand, humanistic connotation, and the advantages of a fixed readership cultivated all the year round. At the same time, they also have their own unique advantages: fast and slow, dynamic and static, specialized and miscellaneous … Although they are attached to newsprint, they do not correspond to news events one by one, so they can not be rigidly expressed objectively and directly, thus showing the depth and temperature of words and inheriting the works more. Therefore, the works of the supplement are not necessarily the latest, but they can be the most elegant; Not necessarily the fastest, but you can pursue the deepest; It may not be the most eye-catching, but it can appeal to both refined and popular tastes and make people remember it deeply. Its another interpretation of news events, its professional cultural stance on key issues, its rich nourishment for the people of the world, and its lasting refreshing cultural fragrance.

　　Only by recognizing the advantages can we have full consciousness and self-confidence. Mr. Fei Xiaotong pointed out that cultural consciousness means that people living in a certain cultural and historical circle have self-knowledge of their culture and have a full understanding of its development process and future. In this sense, cultural consciousness is actually the awakening, mission and responsibility of culture, and cultural self-confidence is the inheritance, development and transcendence of culture. As far as newspaper supplements are concerned, cultural consciousness lies in providing a broad stage for people to publish excellent works and offering elegant and beautiful spiritual food for readers; Cultural self-confidence lies in inheriting excellent quality and rejuvenating creativity. Supplement is an important part of China’s cultural construction, and it should be the defender, creator and disseminator of advanced culture. Cultural self-confidence will bring more development opportunities for supplements with unique advantages. While many newspaper supplements are shrinking, there are still many newspaper supplements that have remained unchanged for more than half a century, and they are constantly developing and exploring from subject matter to genre, from planning to column, from works to authors. This growing confidence comes from the recognition and inheritance of excellent cultural connotations on the basis of cultural consciousness, and it is a brave transcendence of the inherent way on the basis of cultural consciousness.

　　Innovate ideas, broaden horizons and leverage new media.

　　In order to keep up with the development of the times, the supplement should adhere to the innovation of ideas and means, broaden its horizons and be close to the forefront of cultural development. On the basis of maintaining traditional characteristics, supplements should further expand the scope of content, increase service, practicality and interest, and extend the perspective to a wider field; Strengthen planning, improve writing style, create fine products and strengthen brands; At the same time, it innovates the layout form, integrates aesthetic and fashion elements, highlights the flavor of the times, and makes static words full of movement and interest. If content is an inevitable requirement to retain readers, layout innovation is an important means to win readers.

　　Innovation must also learn to borrow from new media. At present, new media are constantly joining the news communication camp, from portals to search engines, taking advantage of the news productivity of traditional media. Supplement innovation should also learn to enhance its competitiveness with the help of the network: it can join hands with the network to promote the second and multiple dissemination of excellent works of supplements on the Internet, effectively expanding the readership and authors; The network’s attention to cultural hotspots and literary thoughts can be introduced into the innovation process of supplements, and readers’ needs can be understood through interaction with readers; Pay attention to the excellent works and authors on the internet, carefully screen, process and verify, turn network resources into supplement resources, and cultivate a group of young audiences for newspapers. At present, we are not very familiar with the characteristics, discourse system and language style of network communication, and the law of network communication needs to be further understood, but we must learn to borrow from the network as soon as possible.

　　Recognizing the advantages, defining the responsibilities and facing up to the shortcomings will help the supplement to find a correct position in the multi-culture and make a response. In today’s homogeneous newspaper news, supplement is an important embodiment of heterogeneity. When the advantage of news is weakened, news changes from fresh to fragile, but supplements may become durable goods and collectibles because of the ideological depth and cultural height of their words. At a time when the weather is myriad, the flowers are dazzling, and the new media seems to occupy many advantages, the supplement is firm, solid, rich, vivid, exquisite and elegant, which will provide people with more opportunities to nourish their body and mind and calmly think, and provide a pure land for one side to put their hearts. Supplement will be promising in the new century of cultural prosperity and development.
