On December 28th, Cainiao.com and Tmall announced the 2017 China Consumer Economy Ranking, which showed the active zone of online shopping in China (except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) according to the package flow in a year. Among thousands of districts and counties (including all kinds of new districts), Shanghai Pudong ranks first in the country in terms of package inflow and has become the most active region in consumer economy.

　　Interestingly, in some areas that were considered as "ghost towns" in the past, such as Erdos, the parcel growth rate has far exceeded the average level in the past year, which shows an obvious population inflow trend.

　　Packages in Pudong rank first, and Guangdong ranks the most.

　　The rookie data shows that the status of first-tier cities such as Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen leading China’s consumer economy is still unshakable. Among the regions with the largest inflow of parcels, Pudong New Area in Shanghai ranks first. Followed by Shenzhen Baoan District, Beijing Chaoyang District, Guangzhou Baiyun District, Shenzhen Longgang District, Beijing Haidian District, Shanghai Minhang District, Guangzhou Tianhe District, Guangzhou Panyu District and Foshan Nanhai District.

　　Among the ten districts and counties in the first camp of consumption power, Guangdong has the largest number of regions on the list, accounting for 6 seats, and Beijing and Shanghai each have 2 seats.

　　From the perspective of counties, the consumption economy in major first-and second-tier cities in China is still unbalanced. Taking Beijing as an example, Chaoyang District and Haidian District receive the largest amount of parcels, while Yanqing District receives the smallest amount of parcels. The number of parcels in Chaoyang District is 36 times that in Yanqing District.

　　In Shenzhen, the number one Baoan District is 31 times that of Yantian District. However, the consumption balance of districts and counties in Shanghai and Hangzhou is obviously better than that of Beijing and Shenzhen. The amount of parcels in Pudong is 17 times that of Chongming, and that in Jianggan District of Hangzhou is 13 times that of Chun ‘an County.

　　Guangzhou, which has been questioned whether it is still a "first-tier city", should be proud of the balance of consumption power in its districts and counties. The highest parcel volume in Baiyun District is 12.4 times that in Luogang District, which reflects the coordinated development between districts and counties.

　　With the rise of consumption in the central and western regions, the ability of students to "chop hands" is amazing.

　　In addition to the first-tier cities in the first echelon, with the extension of logistics infrastructure and the improvement of logistics efficiency, the activity of consumer economy in the central and western regions has also increased significantly. Among the top 20 districts and counties in the country in terms of parcel collection, Hongshan District of Wuhan entered the list.

　　Among the top 100 counties in China, Yanta District of Xi ‘an, Yubei District of Chongqing, Wuhou District of Chengdu, Yuelu District of Changsha, Qingxiu District of Nanning, xiaodian district of Taiyuan and Guandu District of Kunming are all consumer star areas in the central and western regions.

　　Interestingly, the consumption power of Xinjiang and parts of Tibet is even stronger than that of counties in first-tier cities. For example, in Xinshi, Shayibak, Tianshan and Shuimogou districts of Urumqi, Xinjiang, Korla City of Bayinguoleng Prefecture, Yining City of Yili Prefecture, Shihezi City of Xinjiang, changji city of Changji Prefecture, Karamay District of Karamay City, Chengguan District of Lhasa, Tibet, the number of parcels received in the past year was higher than that in Yanqing District of Beijing.

　　From the data released by the rookie, we can also find that the consumption power of the student group is amazing. Nanjing University of Finance and Economics, Zhejiang Media College, Tianjin University of Finance and Economics, Wuhan University of Technology, China Communication University, Guangzhou University, China Shiyou University, Zhejiang Institute of Science and Technology and other universities are among the top.

　　In areas where colleges and universities are concentrated, the purchasing power of students directly promotes the ranking of the whole district and county to rise. Yuelu District of Changsha, Hongshan District of Wuhan and Wuhou District of Chengdu are not the first economic districts and counties in their cities, but they occupy the first place in their respective cities by virtue of the consumption power of colleges and universities.

　　The number of parcels confirms the influx of people, and a number of "ghost towns" have been uncapped.

　　Through the flow data of parcels, we can see that the areas that used to bear the title of "ghost town" are gradually getting rid of this hat.

　　According to the rookie, the parcel data in some new districts directly reflect the number of residents, while the growth trend of parcels reflects the inflow of population. Judging from the absolute number of parcels and the growth rate, some so-called "ghost towns" are no longer established.

　　It is understood that from the data in recent years, the average level of parcel volume growth in districts and counties is about 5-7 times. However, many "ghost towns" that have been questioned before have far exceeded the average package growth rate.

　　Representatives of ghost towns proposed by the media — — Taking Chenggong New District of Kunming as an example, the number of parcels in 2017 increased by ten times compared with five years ago, and it also increased by nearly 40% compared with 2016, ranking fourth among 14 districts and counties in Kunming, and has already taken off the "ghost town" hat.

　　In Erdos, another famous "ghost town", rookie data shows that the number of parcels has increased by more than 30% within one year, and consumption activity has exploded.

　　In addition, typical "ghost towns" such as Zhengdong New District in Zhengzhou City, Guanshanhu District in Guiyang City and Xinbei District in Changzhou City have also ensured the above-average parcel growth rate, which also reflects the population growth rate above average.

　　Attachment: Top 100 Districts and Counties of China Consumer Economy (Top 20)

　　Xinhua News Agency, Shenyang, August 7th Title: Building the "lifeline" of the people — — On-the-spot record of Liaoning’s fight against the rare torrential rain in history

　　Xinhua news agency reporter

　　When the sun shines on the earth again, people hit by torrential rain begin to clean the flooded courtyard, look at the flooded farmland and rebuild their new lives. On the severely damaged rural roads, the fleets, police cars and material supply vehicles of the pontoon bridge troops continue to advance to the key disaster areas … …

　　Since August, Chaoyang, Xiuyan in Anshan, Zhuanghe in Dalian, Yingkou and other places in Liaoning have been hit by torrential rains, and the rainfall in many places has exceeded the historical extreme. Faced with the huge waves, the party committees and governments at all levels in Liaoning Province, the officers and men of the armed police and the grassroots cadres and the masses have mobilized urgently and composed a generous and heroic song of the land of Liaoning.

　　Rainfall in many places exceeded the extreme value.

　　Affected by the remnants of Typhoon No.10, heavy rainfall occurred in Chaoyang, Huludao, Jinzhou and Fuxin in western Liaoning on the 2nd.

　　Late at night on the 2 nd. The building of Liaoning Flood Control and Drought Relief Command Center is brightly lit.

　　The responsible person of Liaoning provincial government led the members of the provincial flood control and drought relief headquarters to pay close attention to the rain and water conditions in various places. On the electronic big screen, satellite cloud pictures and precipitation statistics in various places are displayed in real time. Meteorologists analyze the trend of typhoon and rainfall on the spot. Through the communication system, the headquarters keeps in touch with the main leaders of the city’s defense finger in real time and dispatches on the spot.

　　The heavy rain came as scheduled, accompanied by a gust of 9, and some trees on the roadside were uprooted. According to the statistics of the meteorological department, from the evening of the 2nd to the afternoon of the 3rd, heavy rain fell in more than half of western Liaoning, and local heavy rain occurred. The single-day rainfall in Chaoyang City has exceeded the local historical extreme.

　　On the 3rd, the rainfall in western Liaoning basically ended. Typhoon Haitang has not yet receded, and typhoon Olu will affect Liaoning again. It is predicted that there will be heavy rain in Zhuanghe, Dalian, Xiuyan, Anshan and other places on the night of the 3rd, and local heavy rain will occur.

　　A flood is an order. That night, the Liaoning Provincial Defense Index dispatched and directed various places to urgently transfer people, and meteorological, land and other departments intensively issued the rainstorm and geological disaster warning … …

　　At 3 am on the 4th, the Chamber of Commerce of Liaoning Anti-Finger Association was in an emergency. On the electronic big screen, the rainfall histograms of the 25 towns with the largest rainfall in the province have all turned red. Since then, the rainfall has continued to climb in a straight line, and the rainfall in parts of Xiuyan, Zhuanghe and Gaizhou has reached the level of torrential rain.

　　According to the monitoring of the meteorological department, the maximum daily precipitation in Xiuyan is 317.3 mm, which breaks through the historical extreme; Zhuanghe has the largest rainfall since meteorological records were recorded in 1956.

　　Put people’s life safety first.

　　At 6 o’clock on the 4th, the main leaders of Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government rushed to the Provincial Defense Command Center to hold a meeting on flood control and flood fighting. At the meeting, the person in charge of Anshan Municipal Committee asked for support: the torrential rain caused the road power of eight villages in Xiuyan to be interrupted, and three of them formed islands. The situation was grim, and troops and helicopters were requested for support!

　　"People’s life safety must be put in the first place!" After learning about this situation, the main leaders of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government immediately led a team to Xiuyan to guide flood control and disaster relief. On the morning of the same day, six helicopters and pontoon troops went to the hardest hit area to rescue the people trapped by the flood and get through the isolated island disaster relief channel.

　　Luquanzi Village in longtan town, a remote Manchu Autonomous County in Xiuyan, was once disconnected from the outside world for 12 hours in this catastrophic flood, and the safety of more than 3,200 people in 20 residential groups in the village touched the hearts of all walks of life. "Almost all the seven bridges that went out in the village were broken." Hu Yingquan, the village party secretary, recalled afterwards.

　　What Hu Yingquan didn’t expect was that after 17: 00 pm on the 4 th, public security, fire fighting and various rescue organizations successively entered the village.

　　Wang Dayong, chief of the training section of Xiuyan County Public Security Fire Brigade, said that at 15: 30 pm on the 4th, 50 fire officers and soldiers from Anshan and Panjin came to support them, carrying rescue equipment, and headed for Lujuanzi Village on foot. The road was interrupted and we had to walk through the cornfields. Fire officers and soldiers are connected by thick ropes in groups of 5, and move forward. "The mud is so deep that I can hardly pull my feet out, and I have encountered several rolling stones." Wang Dayong said that after more than five hours of trekking, the fire officers and soldiers came to the village branch of Luquanzi, which was already in the evening. After arriving at the village branch, they learned that the vast majority of villagers were safe, and there were still two more remote villagers’ groups that were not checked. The rescue team checked these two villagers’ groups overnight to ensure safety, and then withdrew from Lujuanzi Village the next day.

　　Before the rain, Dalian zhuanghe city conducted a thorough investigation on reservoirs, offshore operations, key areas prone to mountain torrents, mudslides and geological disasters, dangerous sections of rivers and various water conservancy projects, closed nine tourist attractions in the city, arranged special personnel to be responsible for the elderly, the sick, the five-guarantee households and the low-guarantee households, and strictly guarded the weak links such as seawalls and moisture-proof dikes to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property.

　　If the flood does not recede, the cadres will not withdraw.

　　According to preliminary statistics, the torrential rain affected 358,000 people in Xiuyan County and 25,000 people in zhuanghe city. The province has transferred and resettled more than 150,000 people.

　　It is better to believe in it than to believe in it; It’s better to believe it’s big than it’s small. This is the principle repeatedly emphasized by Liaoning before this torrential rain. Governments at all levels have built the "lifeline" of the people with responsibility and responsibility.

　　"2-3 days before the rainstorm, all the notices on TV, SMS and WeChat were about to rain heavily. Until the rainstorm, the big speakers in the village kept broadcasting to let us transfer." Wang Shaomin, a 40-year-old villager, said, "On the evening of the 3rd, the village went to the village branch to take shelter from the rain." He recalled that he simply cleaned up and went to the village branch to take shelter.

　　In the early morning of the 4 th, the pouring rain kept falling. "God seems to have missed it." Then, he heard the rumble of mountain torrents. "Fortunately, I came out from home early." Wang Minmin said with emotion.

　　According to the unified arrangements of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, before the flood, all cadres at the county level sank to the front line to guide flood fighting and disaster relief. Zhou Hui, secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of Xiuyan County, said: "We demand that all cadres who go to the grassroots level will not retreat from the flood, and the cadres will not withdraw. At present, we must resolutely protect the lives of the people." (Reporter Feng Lei, Sun Renbin, Zou Mingzhong, Zhang Yifei, Cai Yongjun)

　　According to the current policy, renting a house can apply for points admission, but the landlord needs to cooperate with the street rental office to apply for a lease certificate, which is commonly known as a lease contract. However, many parents are stuck by this certificate because the landlord does not cooperate. Today, some citizens reported that some landlords were willing to cooperate, but the asking price was outrageous.

　　Dapeng points lowland citizens go to rent houses.

　　Ms. Zhou, who lives in Longgang, said that her child will go to primary school next year. According to the current regulations, she needs to apply for a lease contract before April 1 this year, and her child will be able to go to school normally next year. However, she is not a deep household but also a point for renting a house. The surrounding schools generally need more than 70 points. Obviously, her points can’t be a good school. So she turned her attention to Shenzhen School, a high school affiliated to the National People’s Congress in Dapeng New District.

　　The new school is popular, and the rent has soared.

　　Shenzhen School attached to the National People’s Congress is a school that was put into use only in 2017. There are not many students around, so the score is relatively low. According to Ms. Zhou’s points, children will definitely be able to attend school. Everything is ready except for renting a house, so Ms. Zhou chose one of the rented houses at the beginning of this year.

　　Can only rent for a long time and ask for 80 thousand

　　Ms. Zhou said that because the house has a degree, the owner thinks that if Ms. Zhou is allowed to use this degree, it means that the house will be locked in a six-year degree. Therefore, not only the price increase, but also the long-term rent, the rent for two years at a time, this account is counted. Let Ms. Zhou’s heart cool.

　　The rent has all gone up, including the degree fee

　　Ms. Zhou said it was really difficult for her to take out so much money at one time. Ms. Zhou thought that he was not the only degree room in Shenzhen School affiliated to the National People’s Congress, so she continued to look for other houses, but she didn’t expect the rents around her to rise in just half a month.

　　Blank houses are also rented for six years and sixty thousand yuan.

　　Ms. Zhou said that it is not an individual phenomenon that the high-priced rental degree is near the Shenzhen School affiliated to the National People’s Congress. The owners even have a unified market price. Recently, there has also been a phenomenon of renting blank houses. As the name implies, blank houses can’t live in people, but the rent is 10 thousand yuan a year, and it will be 60 thousand after six years.

　　A number of real estate degrees have been rented out.

　　Later, the reporter went to a housing agency near the school. The staff introduced that the additional fee for degree rooms is a tacit understanding recently formed by the owners. The price has gone from a few thousand yuan at the beginning to 11,000 years now, and the rough houses are already in short supply, and they are all rented out but not occupied. The Shenzhen School affiliated to the National People’s Congress, which originally had few students, suddenly became lively.

　　In the past, we often heard about sky-high degree rooms, all of which were about buying degree rooms. It is very rare to rent a degree room at such a high price. After all, it is basically difficult to apply for a good degree and rent points. However, it happened that this abnormal phenomenon occurred in Shenzhen School affiliated to the National People’s Congress in Dapeng New District. Should the relevant departments take care of it?

　　An agreement before renting a house can reduce disputes

　　Lawyers believe that the degree room includes housing points and rental points, which are in conflict, which means that once the degree room is locked for six years in the name of renting, it is equivalent to occupying the owner’s degree in buying a house. Therefore, when the tenant and the owner sign the rental contract, they should clearly agree on the use of the degree in advance, and the owner will get some extra compensation, which is legally protected.

　　Beware of price war, the government should intervene.

　　In real life, many tenants have not agreed with the owners in advance. After renting, they find that they need a degree, so they are prone to conflicts. At present, laws and regulations have not made clear provisions, so they can only solve them through consultation. The lawyer pointed out that in either case, it is reasonable for the degree price to be adjusted according to market rules without legal prohibition, but the price war in special areas should be prevented.

　　The government should strengthen the verification of the degree of renting blank houses

　　The survey found that some owners priced their rental houses and degrees separately, which caused a lot of chaos. For example, the previous "First Scene" survey showed that an intermediary collected money to help people handle the lease contract, so that students who had not rented in the area were eligible to enroll in the school. In the neighborhood around Shenzhen School affiliated to the National People’s Congress, some owners sell rough houses, and the actual houses are uninhabited. The education department and the leasing department should strengthen supervision.

　　Post-event household verification should make a difference.

　　Lawyers, on the other hand, believe that it is reasonable for the leasing office to relax its control on the premise that the registration of housing lease contracts is not mandatory. Therefore, in the follow-up verification, it is necessary for all departments to jointly plug the loopholes, so that the actual renter can obtain the qualification to enter the school nearby. According to the current regulations, it takes one year for the lease contract to participate in the points, and during this year, the street office should do a good job of verification.

Yesterday afternoon, an accident occurred at a rail transit construction site on Nanbin Road, Nan ‘an District. Hundreds of square meters of ground in the construction site suddenly collapsed, and underground gas and tap water pipelines were pulled off. Due to the gas leakage, a fire was also ignited.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, some citizens found that there was an abnormal sound coming from the construction site of this rail transit, and soon a raging fire broke out.

Witnesses said that after hearing the abnormal sound, they saw a large area of ground collapse in the construction site, and the gas pipes and water pipes located in the collapsed area were broken one after another.

It is understood that after the incident, this area of Nanbin Road stopped water and gas. According to the on-site construction personnel, there were signs of ground subsidence at that time, and the workers had already evacuated.

The repair personnel said that the gas pipeline has been repaired and the gas supply in the residential area has basically resumed. The water supply pipeline is being welded at the end, and the normal water supply can be fully restored at night. According to reports, no one was injured in the accident and the cause of the accident is still under investigation.

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.

3. Private equity players also join in the fun.

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.

　　On April 25th, the Shanghai Composite Index closed down by 5.13%, and fell below the 3,000-point mark again after 22 months to 2,928.51 points, bringing a general decline covering more than 96% of the stocks.

　　Why did A shares plummet? Many institutions believe that it is the result of the failure to effectively hedge external risks and internal benefits under multi-factor resonance. A shares will be repaired, but it will take some time.

　　Overseas markets are surging — — James Bullard, a well-known hawkish official of the Federal Reserve, refused to rule out the possibility of raising interest rates by 75 basis points (BP) in early May. According to CME’s FedWatch tool, the probability that traders will raise interest rates by 75BP at least once in the next two meetings is over 95%. In the first quarter, US stock earnings reached a climax this week. Five-sevenths of the companies with the largest market capitalization in the United States will release earnings reports, mainly technology giants, which will naturally become the focus. The agency expects that the overall profit growth rate will be the lowest in the past five quarters. US stocks plunged last Friday, with the Dow falling by 1,000 points.

　　At the same time, on the 25th, the offshore RMB broke through the 6.6 mark against the US dollar, with the depreciation rate exceeding 2,400 points since the beginning of the year. As of 16:30, USD/onshore RMB reported 6.5544, down 669 points from the previous closing price, the lowest since April 2 last year; As of 18:49, USD/offshore RMB reported 6.6041. Then, the central bank announced that it would reduce the foreign exchange reserve ratio, and the offshore RMB rebounded by 300 points in the short term to near 6.5738.

　　The Shanghai Composite Index fell below 3,000, and the hot stocks plunged.

　　Affected by weakening market sentiment, the Shanghai Composite Index fell below 3,000 points on the 25th. After the resumption of the market performance during several RMB devaluations since 2015, the overall market was dominated by decline, with relatively dominant value and finance in style, and its growth was greatly affected.

　　Since April, the major indexes have continued to fall by shocks. Last week, the Shanghai Composite Index and the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 Index fell by 3.87% and 4.19% respectively, while the Growth Enterprise Market fell by 6.66%. At the industry level, textile clothing benefited from the depreciation of RMB exchange rate, rising by 4.93%, while the decline of electricity and public utilities, food, household appliances and transportation was relatively small; Real estate, steel, nonferrous metals, coal, medicine and building materials were among the top losers.

　　On the 25th, the hot stocks fell sharply, including the Internet, basic metals, education, chemical raw materials, leisure products, aerospace and military industries, which fell by more than 8%, while the popular concept sectors including photoresist, sodium ion batteries, industrial metals, semiconductor equipment, aluminum industry and online education fell by more than 9%. Even the COVID-19 antigen testing, large-scale infrastructure, generic drugs and other sectors, which once became the concept sector of A-shares rising against the trend, fell by more than 3.5% on that day. Short positions favored by foreign investors, such as China Merchants Bank, New China Life Insurance, Wuliangye, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited and Longji, all fell more than 5%.

　　At present, it is in the intensive release period of a quarterly report, and some manufacturing growth leaders have slowed down their performance growth or failed to meet expectations, which may lead to a decline in stock prices and suppress the overall performance of A shares. For example, Hengrui Pharma, the leading pharmaceutical stock, plunged at the opening, and fell sharply in intraday trading, closing at 29.7 yuan/share, hitting a three-year low. Another example is Longji shares, which fell by 8.69% to 56.61 yuan/share on the 25th after many days’ decline, and the market value of one day evaporated by 29.176 billion yuan.

　　According to the reporter, on the 25th, the total market value of 4,799 listed companies in the city evaporated to 4.58 trillion yuan. Since the beginning of this year, the average decline of the above 255 listed companies is as high as 19%.

　　A number of institutions told reporters that the sharp drop in A shares was the result of the failure to effectively hedge external risks and internal benefits. "It is precisely because the weak rebound expectation is broken that the market is moving in an extreme direction." Yan Kaiwen, chief strategist of Huaxin Securities, said.

　　Li Meicen, chief strategist of Caitong Securities, also put forward the theory of "dislocation". "At present, the external economy is at a high level, China’s economy is at a low level, and the economic fundamentals are at the biggest dislocation stage. The external is receiving, we are releasing, the exchange rate expectation pressure is high, the stock market stock game, and the liquidity is more pessimistic. " The two-way dislocation inside and outside, coupled with the repeated epidemic, the constant thunder in the first quarter, the recovery of supply chain and the recovery of consumption have not improved, so the Shanghai Composite Index is close to the previous low again, and investors are more pessimistic.

　　How does the exchange rate affect A shares?

　　Since 2010, there have been eight obvious cycles of RMB depreciation, in which A shares rose four times and fell four times. Specifically, after the "811 Exchange Reform" in 2015, the RMB exchange rate experienced four obvious devaluations. The first two times were the narrowing of the spread between China and the United States caused by the tightening of the Federal Reserve, and the macroeconomic kinetic energy was "strong in the United States and weak in the middle". Corresponding to the performance of the stock market, both the broader market and the industry closed down.

　　The probability that RMB depreciation is positively related to the decline of A shares is 50%. There is no direct causal relationship between the stock market and the exchange rate, but the exchange rate is usually a reflection of the basic market. At the same time, with the increase of the participation of overseas investors in A shares, the impact of foreign capital flows on A shares is increasing. Therefore, Yan Kaiwen believes that the rapid depreciation of the RMB exchange rate since 2018 has a dominant impact on A shares, and at the same time, such impact will be amplified in the weak stage of A shares.

　　"The market expects more steady growth policies and measures to stabilize the economy and market expectations, thus boosting investor sentiment. The current market uncertainty is more prominent. Seeing more and doing less is still a more suitable investment strategy for ordinary investors. The opportunities after the direction is determined are easier to grasp. " Yuan Huaming, general manager of Huahui Chuangfu Investment, said.

　　Li Meicen said that this week is a crucial week, and the uncertainty that investors pay attention to is becoming clear. On the one hand, with the improvement of the domestic epidemic situation and the recovery of the supply chain, the domestic economy will run upwards, and corporate profits are expected to gradually stabilize and rebound. On the other hand, in the case of less incremental funds, the market showed a situation of stock game in the first half of the year. If the Federal Reserve did not make a more "eagle" statement later, with the comparative advantage of China’s economy highlighted, overseas funds may flow back to emerging markets, especially the China market with significant allocation value in the medium and long term.

　　As for the follow-up trend of the exchange rate, the most critical export data has not changed much, and there is no sign that the capital outflow will continue to accelerate significantly. The weakening of the emotional side is the main reason. "At present, offshore hedge funds have begun to make more dollars against the RMB. Although there are many uncertainties and even some institutions are at a loss, it seems more mainstream to make more dollars in the short term." A foreign bank strategist told CBN.

　　Another foreign trader told reporters: "Let the bullets fly for a while." In fact, from October last year to the beginning of last week, the RMB kept in the range of 6.3, and the fluctuation was unusually low, and there was no trace of offshore short positions. At that time, China’s exports continued to be strong, and domestic US dollar deposits reached 1.1 trillion US dollars, which also made enterprises unwilling to buy US dollars. Moreover, before that, the RMB yield was still higher than the US dollar, and shorting the RMB required a spread. However, at present, the situation has reversed, and even if the prospects are highly uncertain, offshore institutions have begun to test the water and short.

　　The spread between China and the United States has been upside down for nearly two weeks. As of the close of 25th, the yield of China ten-year treasury bonds 220003(22 interest-bearing treasury bonds 03) was 2.8325%. The yield of US 10-year Treasury bonds was reported at 2.828% on Monday, down from the high of 3% hit last week, but it is still expected to rise in the future.

　　However, around 19: 20 on the 25th, the central bank announced that it would reduce the foreign exchange deposit reserve ratio of financial institutions by 1 percentage point, that is, from the current 9% to 8%. This means that the market dollar liquidity will increase, releasing the signal of the central bank to stabilize the RMB.

　　"This is more symbolic, with a range of only 1%, but it also shows that the central bank is happy to see the two-way fluctuation of the RMB, but it does not want to see the exchange rate depreciate sharply too quickly." The above traders told reporters that the maximum release of US dollar liquidity was US$ 10 billion, which was still relatively small compared with the daily average US$/RMB trading volume in the onshore market of US$ 39 billion.

　　In fact, before this RRR cut, the central bank "increased the RRR" twice last year, each time by 2%, and the foreign exchange reserve ratio rose from 5% before June last year to 9%. At that time, the central bank intended to slow down the appreciation of the RMB. In 2021, due to strong exports and accelerated inflow of foreign capital, the RMB once rose to around 6.3.

　　Be wary of the Fed raising interest rates by 75BP in May.

　　In the next two weeks, the financial reports of overseas central banks and US stocks will be the focus of the market, which will also have an impact on the RMB and China stock market.

　　US stocks closed down sharply last Friday. The Dow hit its biggest one-day drop so far this year, closing down 981.36 points, or 2.82%.

　　The increasingly hawkish stance of the Fed is the main reason. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell said last week that "it is possible to raise interest rates by 50BP at the meeting in May", while Brad refused to rule out the possibility of raising interest rates by 75BP next month.

　　"It is becoming increasingly clear that the Fed is accepting the view that it needs to raise interest rates extremely aggressively to control inflation. The Fed has never raised interest rates by 75BP at one time since 1994, but the hint of raising interest rates by 75BP seems not so bizarre to almost all of us now. In fact, according to CME’s FedWatch tool, traders now count the chances of raising interest rates by 75 basis points at least once in the next two meetings of the Fed to exceed 95%. " Matt Weller, head of global research at Jiasheng Group, told reporters.

　　"In view of this, the volatility of all markets is likely to remain high for the rest of this year." He said. The core PCE report will be released this Friday, which is the most favored inflation indicator of the Fed, and it has been rising for five months. Judging from the early estimates, the core PCE may remain unchanged at 5.4% this time. If the reading is unexpectedly higher than expected, it may open the door to raising interest rates by 75BP as soon as next Thursday, which may be highly profitable for the US dollar and bad for the US stock market. As of 17: 50 Beijing time on the 25th, the US dollar index stood at 101.573.

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".

BYD Dolphin

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. "
