Eco-environmental protection inspectors have achieved win-win results, and economic, social and environmental benefits have been improved.

  Cctv news: On June 27th, the State Council held a press conference on "Regulations on Supervision of Central Ecological Environmental Protection". In response to a reporter’s question, Zhai Qing, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said that the central eco-environmental protection inspector has been carried out for more than three years. The practice over the past three years has proved that the inspector not only promoted local governments to solve a number of outstanding eco-environmental problems, but also played an important role in promoting local governments to establish new development concepts and promote high-quality development. Specifically, there are these aspects:

  First, inspectors can effectively enhance the local consciousness of implementing the new development concept, and constantly improve their consciousness and understanding. Inspector is not only a "work physical examination", but also a "political physical examination". Through the inspectors in recent years, we have deeply felt that the local party committees and governments at all levels have obviously enhanced their sense of responsibility for ecological environmental protection. We feel that our consciousness and initiative in implementing the new development concept have been significantly enhanced. The situation of not paying attention to and ignoring the protection of ecological environment has changed obviously. Great changes have taken place over the years, especially since the 18th CPC National Congress. These ideological changes have played an important role in promoting high-quality economic development.

  Second, inspectors can effectively force industrial structure adjustment and industrial layout optimization. To give a few examples, for example, in Xinjiang, inspectors unified everyone’s thinking and explicitly prohibited "three high" projects from entering Xinjiang, that is, "high pollution, high energy consumption and high emissions" projects could not enter Xinjiang. For example, in Inner Mongolia, the implementation of water-based production, how much water, how many industries to develop, so that some high-water-consuming industries have been effectively curbed, excessive development has been effectively curbed. For example, there is a Huayang Lake area in Dongguan, Guangdong Province. Before, sewage was everywhere, garbage was everywhere, and the smell was stinking. After several years of rectification, it has now become a national wetland park, achieving a gorgeous turn of development, and the role of inspectors is still revealed.

  Third, inspectors can effectively solve the problem of "bad money driving out good money". Through the rectification of some "scattered and dirty" enterprises with heavy pollution, high energy consumption, high emissions and low technical level, the market order has been effectively standardized, a fair market environment has been created, the vitality of production factors has been stimulated from a deeper level, the problem of "bad money driving out good money" has been effectively solved, and the production efficiency of legal and compliant enterprises has been gradually improved.

  Fourth, inspectors can effectively promote the development of a number of green industries, which has played a great role in promoting the development of some green industries. For example, everyone is very concerned about the treatment of black and odorous water bodies. In recent years, under the strong promotion of the central eco-environmental protection inspector, remarkable results have been achieved in the treatment of black and odorous water bodies in 36 key cities across the country. Sewage pipe network is a very important measure to solve the water environment problem. Without repairing the pipe network, the water environment of the city will not be good. According to preliminary statistics, the government has invested a total of 114 billion yuan, added 19,872 kilometers of sewage pipe network, built 305 new sewage treatment plants (facilities) and increased the sewage treatment capacity by 14.15 million tons/day. On the one hand, these problems have solved the ecological environment problems, on the other hand, they have stimulated the economic growth, and at the same time, they have improved the city’s taste. It should be said that economic benefits, social benefits and environmental benefits have all been improved, and a win-win situation has been achieved.

Do I have to pay IQ tax to buy watches? Let’s understand the meaning of playing watch first.

  Article source: Wanbiao Watch Exchange

  Original title: Is it an IQ tax to buy a watch?

  Author: Jian Ming

  As a professional watchmaker, in this new year, Jian Ming has always wanted to say something to his cousins.

  In the new year, the road to playing watches is once again opened. However, have you thought clearly about your initial intention in into the pit? In other words, why do you wear a watch and why do you play with it?

  There is a great debate about this. Some people think that mechanical watches are IQ tax now, while others think that they are not, but they are confused and can’t tell why. In fact, the answers to all questions should be simple. The meaning of playing watch has two dimensions: "to oneself" and "to others".

  for oneself

  Wear a watch, and often wear it for yourself.

  Let me tell you a true thing: in Europe and the United States, many stylists will go to the streets voluntarily, help unkempt vagrants get a haircut for free, and give them clean and beautiful clothes.

  Most of these vagrants end up on the streets because they are lazy and addicted to bad habits. After the stylist cut their hair, put on hair oil and put on suits and shoes that fit them, they were originally sloppy and disgusting, but they actually became radiant and a little handsome.

Comparison before and after the "reform" of tramps  

  What’s even more surprising is that after the excitement of looking in the mirror, the life concepts and habits of these dressed vagrants have changed greatly: they don’t want to wander and beg decadent, they want to change their lives and live a brand-new, dignified and self-reliant life.

Comparison of Homeless José before and after "Transformation"  
José couldn't help exclaiming when she looked in the mirror after getting her hair cut.  

  For example, José, a Spanish tramp, finished his "appearance transformation" and returned to the square where he used to beg. But this time he didn’t want to ask passers-by for change, but sat down like a gentleman and asked for a glass of beer. He used to be hated by everyone, but now there are girls who take the initiative to strike up a conversation. Now, it is said that he has joined a company and ended his life as a beggar.

  Who would have thought that this elegant man was a beggar like a street mouse for a second? According to another stylist, a decadent tramp with unkempt hair cut, stared at the mirror for a long time, looked up and asked him, "Do you know where to recruit?" "I want to find a job."

Before and after the "transformation"  

  In countless voluntary haircuts and clothes-giving activities, stylists found that all homeless people not only became handsome and tidy after their haircuts, but their lives seemed completely different.

Before and after the "transformation"  

  Why does a grooming change not only the appearance, but also the whole life? In fact, this is related to people’s self-suggestion. If a person tidies himself up decently, then his implication to himself is: I am a decent person, and I should and can live a life of quality and dignity. The corresponding self-suggestion will be naturally reflected in the action. This is also the reason why the fate of homeless people has changed.

  Therefore, this is why many people will reward themselves with a watch at the milestone of their lives. When they are adults, graduate, work and get married, they will instinctively think of buying a watch as a souvenir. They may not be able to accurately express the reason, but the reason behind it is the same as the reason why homeless people "reform": to remind themselves of being a decent person and what kind of life they should live.

  When you wear a watch on your hand, polish the delicate shell, hands and movement, which symbolizes a meticulous attitude towards life; Beautiful appearance and color symbolize the taste and interest of life; The culture and story behind a brand and a watch symbolizes people’s pursuit of the spiritual world.

  A person who knows how to appreciate a watch, a person who knows how to appreciate the movement swinging and the pointer sliding, and a person who knows how to tidy himself up and live a decent life will, to a great extent, be insulated from a rude, sloppy and decadent life.

  To others

  No matter what era, in interpersonal communication, "judge a person by his appearance" is an eternal and universal primary criterion. This appearance refers to not only the face, but also the "things" on the body.

  Let’s take the true story as an example. A young boss, who was born in a poor family, won the first bucket of gold, about 10 million, by relying on electrical projects. He took out six million dollars to buy a Bentley, and continued to invest the rest.

  Others don’t understand and ask him why he doesn’t spend a lot of money on investing or buying a house, but buys a "useless" luxury car. The boss’s answer is very interesting: the house is useless to my personal appreciation (the appreciation here refers to people rather than assets), but a good car can prove that my company and assets are healthy. Moreover, if I want to take on bigger projects, I must contact people at a higher level. I can’t do it without a car.

  As a result, in the second year of buying a car, he earned 20 million yuan and sold Bentley for a 10 million Maibakh. Because the original Bentley is no longer worthy of his new circle.

  This happened about eight or nine years ago, and now the size of the boss’s career is unclear, but what is certain is that it is much larger than that of that year.

  The second real case, a pin crown of the B-prefix Internet company, disdains to dress up because of its outstanding ability, and wears hundreds of shirts, suits and sneakers all the year round. Later, he started his own business and started a company. Strangely, his company’s performance was very good, but he always failed when he went out to talk about cooperation.

  Later, a friend reminded him that the original words were probably: "You tidy yourself up, buy some good clothes and pants, buy a good watch, people who know you know you make money, and people who don’t know you think your company is dying."

  What’s your impression of a man dressed like this talking about business with you? After he did so, he changed his suit and watch to a level of more than 10,000 yuan, and it was found that the efficiency was much higher. In the negotiation, he no longer had to spend time wrangling with wannabe, but went straight to the decision maker, saving me a lot of time.

  He summed up this: cooperation is like falling in love. People are not looking at your appearance. Do you want me to look at your inner self? Who can guarantee that you can see the inside of people at first sight? (except for a few technical industries of science and engineering, so technical bosses are often sloppy)

  The principle behind it is obvious at this time. When others associate with you, they pay the cost of time and energy on you, which is essentially the same as the cost of money on you when the bank lends you money. Before a bank lends a loan to a person, it is of course necessary to do a detailed background check; However, people’s time is precious, and it is impossible to conduct a background investigation on each person in interpersonal communication, so we can only instinctively carry out a back tone through people’s "appearance."

  At this time, a good car, a suit of clothes and a good watch are often weapons to show your taste and strength.

  In this regard, there may still be questions: Why does Ma Yun wear explosive evaluation sweaters all the year round, and why does Li Ka-shing wear cheap electronic watches … It is very simple, because their faces are the biggest business cards, and people all over the country recognize their faces, even wearing a little genius watch is a trend. If you look through the old images of decades ago, when they were young and talking about business, which one was not dressed up in a decent suit and tie?

  In the final analysis, mechanical watch is not an IQ tax, it has its own aesthetic value and practical value. Just like luxury jewelry, leather goods, perfume, luxury cars, and even antiques, calligraphy and painting, sculpture and other works of art.

  But I want to remind everyone that buying and playing watches should be done according to one’s ability, otherwise, the most authentic fun will be lost.

  What’s your original intention of playing with the watch? Is it for your own appreciation, or for showing your identity, or for other reasons?

Convince people with reason | Why "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets"?

Ten years of extraordinary achievements have profound implications. How to explain China’s practice with China’s theory? Xinhuanet, in conjunction with the national high-end think tank of the Central Party School (National School of Administration), launched "Sike Lecture Hall Party School Open Class (Season 3)" and "Convince People with Reason: Ten" Why "in Ten Years". Ten young teachers of Party School take you to explore the "China code" behind extraordinary achievements through ten short theoretical videos. In this issue, Wang Ru, a professor in the Department of Social and Ecological Civilization of the Central Party School (National School of Administration), tells why "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" is.

Full text of the speech:

Hello everyone! I am Wang Ru from the Social and Ecological Civilization Teaching and Research Department of the Central Party School (National School of Administration).

I wonder what one thing everyone will do before going to work or school every morning? I am used to looking at the weather forecast before going out every day, but there has been a big change in the past two years, that is, I no longer look at the air quality forecast specifically. Everyone may feel the same way as me. In recent years, there have been more and more blue skies and less foggy weather, and air quality is no longer an important factor restricting our daily activities. I often take online stories about smog as examples in class a few years ago, such as "Walking a dog but not seeing a dog, holding a dog rope in your hand, seeing a rope but not seeing your hand, a dog tells people to leave". In recent years, if you give these examples again, it will be difficult to get everyone’s resonance. Our feeling is actually supported by sufficient data. In 2020, the average concentration of PM2.5 in China decreased by 28.8% compared with 2015. The improvement of air quality is only a microcosm of the achievements of China’s ecological civilization construction in recent years. "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" is changing from concept to reality, and each of us is a witness, witness and beneficiary.

On August 15th, 2005, when the Supreme Leader visited Yucun, Anji County, Zhejiang Province, he first proposed "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets". Nine days later, under the pen name Zhexin, he published a short comment entitled "Green Water and Green Mountains are also Jinshan Yinshan" in the column of "New Words of Zhijiang" in Zhejiang Daily, further pointing out that "we pursue the harmony between man and nature, the harmony between economy and society, and in layman’s terms, we want both green water and green mountains and Jinshan Yinshan." The "green water and green mountains" mentioned here mainly refers to the advantages of ecological environment. Now we understand it from the ecological point of view as the general name of high-quality natural ecosystems, including forests, grasslands, wetlands, lakes, rivers, oceans and so on. The "Jinshan Yinshan" here is not only the economic value produced in the process of human development and utilization of resources and environment, but also the comprehensive value of economic value, ecological value and social value. "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" does not want to exchange "leaves" for "tickets", but to break the binary opposition between development and protection, insist that "protecting the environment means protecting the productive forces, and improving the environment means developing the productive forces", and turn ecological advantages into comprehensive development advantages.

It is precisely because of the recognition of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has paid unprecedented attention to the construction of ecological civilization, protected the ecological environment like eyes, and treated the ecological environment like life. A beautiful picture of China with bluer sky, greener mountains and clearer water has been slowly spread on the land of China.

In the past ten years, the environmental quality has obviously improved. We have fought a beautiful battle for pollution prevention and control against the outstanding environmental problems that harm people’s health. In addition to the aforementioned blue sky defense war, the pure land defense war and the clear water defense war have also achieved remarkable results. The governance of contaminated land has been strengthened, the safe utilization rate of contaminated land has reached about 90%, and the use of pesticides and fertilizers has also decreased significantly. The proportion of excellent water quality reached 83.4%, especially in the main stream of the Yangtze River, which made a historic breakthrough. A typical example is that the number of "smiling angels" Yangtze finless porpoises is increasing year by year. They have small eyes and big smiles. They were once on the verge of extinction due to water pollution and illegal use of fishing gear in the Yangtze River basin. With the restoration of the water environment, this "giant panda in the water" listed as a national first-class protected animal has ushered in new vitality.

In this decade, the ecological restoration has achieved more remarkable results. We have initially drawn a red line for ecological protection, and the area within the red line accounts for a quarter of China’s land area. Major projects for the protection and restoration of national important ecosystems have been implemented, and the national ecological security barrier has been built, and the security and stability of ecosystems are constantly improving. My hometown is in Weihai, Shandong Province, where there is a famous tourist attraction called Huaxia City, which is located in Longshan area. It used to be tree-lined and beautiful. At the end of 1970s, with the acceleration of urban construction, it became a concentrated mining area for building stones, and a large number of mountains and forests were destroyed. Since 2003, with the support of the government, Huaxia City has continued to carry out mine ecological restoration and the construction of ecological scenic spots. After more than ten years of continuous efforts, it has finally turned the mine ruins into a 5A-level scenic spot with good ecology and beautiful scenery. At the same time, it has also made the surrounding people rich, attracted thousands of people to work in the scenic spot and raised the income level. Of course, Huaxia City is only a small microcosm of our achievements in ecological protection and restoration in recent years. At present, there are 136 such "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" innovation and practice bases all over the country, which are driving the motherland to become greener and more beautiful.

In this decade, economic development has become more green and low-carbon. We have changed the economic development model of high consumption, high emission and high pollution in the past, adhered to the new development concept, vigorously promoted the green transformation and upgrading of economic structure, energy structure and industrial structure, and achieved rapid development of strategic emerging industries such as energy conservation and environmental protection. China has become one of the countries with the fastest energy consumption intensity reduction in the world. The installed capacity of green power such as wind power and photovoltaic power generation and the production and sales of new energy vehicles have reached the first place in the world, and green has increasingly become the bright background of economic and social development. Interestingly, the development of new energy sources such as wind and light sometimes brings us unexpected "surprises". The State Power Investment Group has a photovoltaic sand control project in Gonghe County, Qinghai Province, which was originally aimed at photovoltaic power generation. As a result, after ten years of operation, it was found that grass grew under photovoltaic panels, the total biomass and biological species also increased significantly, and the local ecological environment was greatly improved.

In this decade, China has made greater contribution to global ecological security. We have accelerated the construction of a beautiful China at home, promoted the improvement of the global ecological environment governance system externally, and effectively demonstrated the responsibility of a big country. Afforestation in China accounts for about a quarter of the world’s artificial afforestation, and the carbon dioxide emissions per unit GDP have decreased by about 34%. It is clearly put forward that peak carbon dioxide emissions should be achieved by 2030 and carbon neutrality should be achieved by 2060, which has made important contributions to coping with global climate change. We also try our best to help developing countries improve the level of ecological environment management. For example, leather industry is an important leading industry in Ethiopia, but it has been difficult to solve the environmental pollution problem of leather processing waste liquid. In 2013, China and Ethiopia agreed to jointly build a joint laboratory for leather technology, which helped them comprehensively improve the level of leather research, industrial development and environmental pollution control. When I went to Ethiopian class in 2018, the local people praised China’s help and support in these areas. Coffee industry is another world-famous industry in Ethiopia. In order to solve the problem that the coffee industry may be affected by severe climate change, in 2019, China provided another satellite for free, and the Ethiopian people have the first satellite in history, so they can get a lot of remote sensing data to deal with climate change.

Then, why is the status of ecological civilization unprecedented, the effectiveness of environmental governance unprecedented, and the global ecological contribution unprecedented? Why can "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" change from concept to reality? This is inseparable from a series of fundamental, pioneering and long-term work carried out by the CPC Central Committee.

We adhere to the concept of system, and the thinking of solving ecological and environmental problems has changed. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have comprehensively strengthened the Party’s leadership over the construction of ecological civilization, incorporated the construction of ecological civilization into the overall layout of "Five in One", and carried out the construction of ecological civilization in an all-round, all-regional and whole-process way, thus solving the contradiction between the ecological system and the control of fragmentation. For example, 2021 is called the first year of national parks, and China officially established the first batch of national parks such as Sanjiangyuan, Giant Panda, Northeast Tiger and Leopard. Many people think that it is not wrong to protect the lovely giant panda, Northeast Tiger and Snow Leopard, but from a global perspective, it is necessary to protect the national representative ecosystem and solve the problems of overlapping functions and multi-head management brought about by different levels and departments.

We insist on institutional innovation, and the institutional system is more perfect and more effective. Most of the outstanding problems in China’s ecological environment protection are related to imperfect system, lax system, lax rule of law, inadequate implementation and ineffective punishment. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have accelerated the reform of the ecological civilization system, established an increasingly perfect system of ecological civilization system, written ecological civilization into the Constitution, promulgated the "strictest" environmental protection law and a large number of special regulations and environmental standards, provided a reliable guarantee for the construction of ecological civilization with the strictest system and the strictest rule of law, and paid more attention to ecological environment issues from top to bottom. The central eco-environmental protection inspector is one of the important institutional innovations and has become a "sword" to promote the implementation of eco-environmental responsibility. Many illegal projects have been stopped, the ecological environment has been restored, and a number of green ecological industries have been accelerated. For example, Maanshan City, Anhui Province comprehensively rectified the coastline of the Yangtze River, realizing a beautiful butterfly change from "riverside not seeing the river" to "urban ecological living room"; Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province promotes the high-level protection of Erhai Lake and the high-quality development of the basin through problem rectification.

We insist on co-construction, co-governance and sharing, and let the people take action. Theoretically speaking, the ecological environment belongs to public goods or quasi-public goods, which is related to the common interests of all people. The more individuals participate in governance, the higher the quality of ecological products and services. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have strengthened the publicity and education of ecological civilization, turned the construction of beautiful China into conscious action of the whole people, prompted people to change from consciousness to will, from complaining to action, and made ecological civilization a mainstream value. In 2021, a group of wild Asian elephants in Yunnan’s journey of "going north and returning south" rushed to the hot search, which triggered global onlookers. This group of elephants crossed more than half of Yunnan, which lasted more than 110 days and circuitously traveled about 1300 kilometers. On the way, they also gave birth to a lovely baby elephant. In the long journey, their strength has interpreted what is called "group pets", and people from all over the world have tried their best to provide meticulous care. This group of uninvited "guests" ate a lot of cash crops such as corn, litchi and mango from farmers all the way, but many villagers along the way expressed their understanding and hoped that the elephants could stay a little longer and eat enough before leaving. Elephants will not be driven away if they trample on crops, because insurance companies will compensate farmers. These dribs and drabs make the world sit up and take notice of the effectiveness of wildlife protection and the participation of the whole people in environmental protection in China.

Xun Zi Tian Lun said, "Everything has its own harmony to live, and each has its own cultivation to succeed". The development history of human civilization is a history of the relationship between man and nature, and the change of ecological environment directly affects the rise and fall of civilization. "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" embodies the intellectual achievements of Chinese traditional culture, embodies a new understanding of the relationship between man and nature, the relationship between development and protection, and draws a beautiful blueprint for the harmonious coexistence and modernization of man and nature, making the "green mountains and green hills" of nature truly a "golden hill and silver hill" to enhance people’s sense of security, happiness and acquisition. In March, 2020, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once again visited Yucun, Anji, and saw green hills, flowing water and clean roads. Every family lived in beautiful buildings and expressed heartfelt sighs. The achievements made by Yucun now prove that the path of green development is correct. If you choose the right path, you must stick to it.

Indeed, as everyone’s income level is getting higher and higher, life is getting better and better, and our need for a beautiful ecological environment will continue to increase, and the construction of ecological civilization is still on the road. Only when we really start from me and walk hand in hand can we share the beautiful life of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" and play a green symphony with sky blue, green land and shallow fish!

On January 28th, 404,857 people in Hangzhou have taken nucleic acid samples, and 4 of them were positive in the initial screening.

  On January 28th, a press conference on the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic was held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province to inform the latest situation of the epidemic.

  At the meeting, it was reported that there are 914 nucleic acid detection points and 2,406 sampling stations in Hangzhou. Today, from 6:00 to 13:30, a total of 404,857 people were sampled, with 30,481 results, 30,477 negative results and 4 positive cases.

  At present, the main problem is that the temperature is low in rainy days, which brings a lot of inconvenience to the detection people and sampling personnel, and also affects the progress of sampling. To this end, the Hangzhou Health and Health Commission will take the following measures: First, strengthen the organization and management of the sampling team, and inform the public to queue up in an orderly manner according to the number of people in the queue, so as to avoid people getting together and queuing for too long. Second, the layout and quantity of sampling will be adjusted in time according to the distribution of people and the actual situation of residential areas, so as to ensure that citizens can participate in sampling nearby.

Doubts abound! Wife’s crazy online shopping can’t make ends meet, and she staged a farce to deceive her husband.

       CCTV News:Not long ago, a Ms. Wang in Pudong, Shanghai did a stupid thing. She reported that her home was "stolen", but after the police came to investigate, they found that the report was full of doubts.

       In Ms. Wang’s home, the police saw the scene was a mess. Therefore, the police first looked out of the window and found that there was an iron fence outside the window. It was impossible for anyone to come in from here. Later, the police checked the door again, but found that the door had not been tampered with. Just then, Ms. Wang, who was sure that she had locked the door when she went out, suddenly changed her mind and said that the door was unlocked when she went home to open the door. As a result, the police transferred the monitoring of the corridor during the incident, and found that no one had entered the room except the policeman Ms. Wang herself. In the face of police inquiries, Ms. Wang finally told the truth.

       Ms. Wang: "Because I was in debt outside, I called my mother, and then I was afraid to tell my husband, so I took the money."

       Policeman: "Cash, right?"

       Ms. Wang: "Yes."

       Policeman: "What about those gold wares?"

       Ms. Wang: "I sold it."

       It turns out that Ms. Wang loves online shopping. In September and October, she swiped a credit card of nearly 10,000 yuan, and in November, she bought more than 10,000 yuan online.

       Gu Wenqing, a policeman from Wanggang Police Station, said: "Wang played such a farce in order to prevent being scolded by her husband. She sold the gold and silver jewelry at home and paid back the loan with the cash at home."

       At present, Wang has been dealt with by the Pudong police according to law for lying to the police.

The 2017 national examination was held today: 1.48 million people signed up for the hottest post.

  BEIJING, Beijing, November 27 (Reporter Qi Feng) Today, the 2017 written examination for civil servants of the central government and its affiliated institutions will be held. In the national examination, 1,486,300 people passed the qualification examination, an increase of 91,700 compared with last year, and the competition for the hottest position even reached "one in a million", setting a new record.

  The number of applicants rebounded this year, with an average of 55 people competing for one position.

  At 9: 00 this morning, the 2017 written national examination will be held simultaneously in provincial capitals and individual large cities. There will be an exam on the subject of "Administrative Professional Ability Test" from 9: 00 to 11: 00 this morning, and an exam on "Application for Theory" from 14: 00 to 17: 00 this afternoon.

  This year’s national examination, a total of more than 120 central organs and their directly affiliated institutions and units managed with reference to the Civil Service Law plan to recruit more than 27,000 people, and the number of planned recruits is the same as that in 2016. Judging from the registration situation, according to the notification of the National Civil Service Bureau, a total of 1,486,300 people registered in this national examination passed the qualification examination of the employer, an increase of 91,700 compared with 1,394,600 last year, an increase of 6.58% year-on-year. Judging from the recruitment ratio, among the candidates who applied for the exam, an average of 55 people competed for one position.

  So far, the number of applicants for the national examination has been more than one million for nine consecutive years, among which the number of applicants for the national examination in 2014 reached a peak of 1.52 million, and the number of applicants for the national examination in 2015 and 2016 dropped to 1.409 million and 1.3946 million respectively. This national examination, registration rebounded again after two consecutive years of cooling.

  The phenomenon of "abandoning the exam" needs attention. How many people will take the exam?

  How many candidates walked into the national examination room today? Estimated or less than 1.48 million people. Over the years, many registered candidates finally chose to give up the exam. According to the statistics of Chinese public education, the number of people who abandoned the national examination in 2014 exceeded 400,000, the number of people who abandoned the national examination in 2015 reached more than 500,000, and the number of people who abandoned the national examination in 2016 exceeded 460,000.

  On the eve of this year’s national examination, Peng Zhongbao, deputy director of the Examination Department of the National Civil Service Bureau, mentioned in an interview with the media that in recent years, the ratio of the number of civil servants enrolled in the central government and its directly affiliated institutions who passed the qualification examination to the number of recruitment plans is generally 50-mdash; Between 70.

  "From the situation in recent years, the number of people taking the exam is around 1 million. The number of applicants and the number of people taking the exam have increased by tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands in some years, and decreased by tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands in some years, all of which belong to the normal floating range. It is difficult to describe it as getting hot or getting cold, cooling down or warming up." Peng Zhongbao said.

  The position of the Central Committee of the NLD is "one in a million"

  In this national examination, the most competitive position is the position of "the chief clerk of the reception desk and below" in the Central Office of the NLD. According to statistics, as of half an hour before the end of registration, the competition ratio of this position reached 9837:1, and its competition heat has exceeded 9411:1 of the hottest position in the national examination in 2013, setting a record high.

  The most popular position from the Central Committee of the NLD, its specific work content is "engaged in the service of official reception of organs, the preparation of meetings and activities of organs". Some analysts said that in the annual national examination registration, the hottest position appears randomly in the registration. This position of the NLD Central Committee can "stand out" this year because its registration requirements are relatively loose.

  There are jobs that are "one in a million", and some jobs are unattended. Peng Zhongbao revealed in an interview with the media that more than 100 positions have not passed the qualification examination after the registration of the central authorities this year. On the one hand, the conditions of these positions are relatively difficult, on the other hand, there are also reasons that the qualifications, majors and related work experience are not wide enough.

  The "most stringent" national examination is coming, and many departments jointly crack down on cheating.

  This examination is also the first national examination after the implementation of the new version of the Measures for Handling Violations of Discipline in Civil Service Examination. Some media use "the strictest" to describe the strictness of this national examination discipline.

  According to the provisions of the "Measures", applicants who have serious violations of discipline and discipline will be disqualified and rejected, and will be recorded in the integrity archives of civil service examination and employment, and recorded for 5 years or long-term records as appropriate. Candidates will never be allowed to enter the civil service if they have colluded to cheat or participated in organized cheating and other particularly serious violations of discipline and discipline.

  On the eve of the exam, Peng Zhongbao also said that during this year’s written test, experienced invigilators will be sent to various test sites and examination rooms, equipped with ID card identification devices, mobile phone signal shielding devices, video surveillance and other equipment. In addition, the Central Network Information Office, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments will be joined together to resolutely investigate and deal with the use of the Internet to disseminate false information, deliberately interfere with and disrupt the normal examination order, severely crack down on high-tech cheating and exam-assisting criminal activities, and further purify the examination environment.

Sixty years of hanyu pinyin: approaching you and me and going to the world.

  Pinyin typing, consulting dictionaries, learning Mandarin … Today, Chinese Pinyin has been integrated into all aspects of our lives, so that it is often overlooked that it is not ancient, but the product of China’s language modernization and the crystallization of the wisdom of several generations.

  On May 10th, a symposium was held in Beijing to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the promulgation of the Chinese Pinyin Scheme. More than 100 representatives from education, scientific research, culture and other sectors discussed the historical experience and value of the times in the development, popularization and application of Chinese Pinyin.

  1. From word of mouth to scientific programs

  Why should we develop and promulgate the Chinese Pinyin Scheme? According to Wu Benyuan, the grandson of Wu Yuzhang, then director of the China Language Reform Commission, "In fact, the original purpose was very simple, that is, to use a good method to eliminate illiteracy."

  In the early days of the founding of New China, China’s illiteracy rate reached 80%. In order to quickly change its backwardness and pay special attention to literacy and cultural popularization, the CPC Central Committee carried out three major tasks: simplifying Chinese characters, popularizing Putonghua and formulating a scheme to promote Chinese Pinyin.

  At that time, the traditional pronunciation method and backcutting method in China showed obvious disadvantages in phonetic notation of Chinese characters. "Homophones should be used for straight sounds, while some syllables have no homophones, such as’ playing, brewing, and being timid’; Although some syllables have homophones, they are very uncommon. Note the sound is equal to no note. For example, the homophones of’ 司司’ have’ 司’ and’ 司’. Backcutting is to spell out a syllable with two Chinese characters for phonetic notation, such as’ one, it is difficult to master.’ " Su Peicheng, a professor of Chinese Department in Peking University, told the reporter, "You can’t use Chinese phonetic notation to learn Mandarin, because people who study like that can’t learn Mandarin if they read it according to dialect pronunciation."

  The ancient ones don’t work, but what about the designs made by foreigners? Since the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the phonetic notation methods designed by foreigners for preaching and learning Chinese include Matteo Ricci’s Latin alphabet, British Wittoma pinyin and American Kennedy’s Yale pinyin. "These pinyin schemes are all for foreigners, and there is neither a unified phonetic standard nor the pursuit of accuracy corresponding to the pronunciation of Chinese characters." Yuan Zhongrui, executive director of Chinese Language Modernization Society, said that we need to create Chinese’s own more scientific and accurate scheme.

  In fact, Chinese’s self-created pinyin scheme can be traced back to "At a glance" published by Lu Taizhang in 1892, and many schemes have been born since then, among which Wang Zhao’s mandarin letters, Wu Zhihui’s phonetic alphabet, li jinxi Zhao Yuanren’s national language Roman characters (Guoluo) and Qu Qiubai Wu Yuzhang’s northern Latin new characters (Beila) have the greatest influence. However, these schemes can’t meet the demand because they are not convenient for international communication or are not precise, simple and accurate.

  In 1955, the Central Committee instructed the China Character Reform Commission to study and formulate new Chinese phonetic alphabet tools. After three years of research and development, the National People’s Congress passed and promulgated the "Chinese Pinyin Scheme" on February 11th, 1958, and it was quickly popularized throughout the country.

  Following the "book with the same language", China culture ended thousands of years of oral history and started the era of "homophony".

  2. From literacy tools to cultural bridges

  "The main purpose of the Chinese Pinyin Scheme is to phonetic Chinese characters and spell Mandarin to help literacy, unify pronunciation and teach Mandarin. The purpose is to facilitate the people to learn and use Chinese characters and promote the further unification of Chinese, and it is not used to replace Chinese characters." On February 3rd, 1958, Wu Yuzhang clearly explained the two major functions of Chinese Pinyin-phonetic notation and spelling.

  Over the past 60 years, China’s illiteracy rate has dropped from 80% at the beginning of the founding of New China to 4.08%, the popularization rate of Putonghua has increased to over 70%, and the proportion of literate people using standardized Chinese characters has exceeded 95%, all thanks to Chinese Pinyin.

  Besides, designing special languages such as sign language and Braille, improving and creating minority languages, arranging all kinds of dictionaries, books, files, medical records, documents and other materials, and forming terms and codes … After 60 years of development, the function of Chinese Pinyin has gone far beyond the original idea and has become an indispensable and important tool. Zhang Wei, secretary of the Party Committee and president of China Braille Publishing House, said: "Chinese Pinyin is an important foundation for compiling sign language and Braille, which provides convenience for disabled people to fully participate in social life on an equal footing and share the development achievements of social civilization."

  Especially after the 1990s, with the advent of the era of globalization, informationization and intelligence, Chinese Pinyin has become an important tool for Chinese characters to input information by using international computer keyboards because of its colloquial, phonemic and Latin features, which has made ancient Chinese characters take the information express train to the world.

  With the development of the Belt and Road Initiative, Chinese Pinyin is more widely used in teaching Chinese as a foreign language. "Because of the particularity of ideographic characters of Chinese characters, foreigners can’t get the pronunciation from the glyphs of Chinese characters, so in the primary stage, pinyin is generally adopted to help Chinese beginners get started quickly." Zhao Guocheng, deputy director of Hanban, told reporters that Chinese Pinyin has become an important basis for teachers of Chinese as a foreign language to train students in pronunciation, rhyme and intonation.

  This is just as Zhou Youguang, a famous linguist and one of the main founders of the Chinese Pinyin Scheme, pointed out when Chinese Pinyin was implemented for 50 years: "In the past 50 years, the application of Chinese Pinyin has expanded at an alarming rate. Originally mainly used in the field of education, it is now significantly used in the field of industry and commerce. Originally, it was mainly a literacy tool for primary schools, but now it has been widely developed as a medium for information transmission. It turned out to be the key to domestic culture, and now it extends to an international cultural bridge. "

  3. From national standards to international standards

  “The city of Beijing!” On July 13th, 2001, Samaranch, then president of the International Olympic Committee, announced that Beijing would be the host city of the 2008 Olympic Games. The spelling of "Beijing" in Chinese Pinyin has replaced the Weitoma Pinyin "Peking" commonly used in the international community in the past. This subtle change has witnessed the course of Chinese Pinyin from foreign schemes to domestic schemes, from national forms to international forms, from internal and external differences to internal and external consistency, and from national standards to international standards.

  As early as 1977, the United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names decided to adopt the Chinese Pinyin Scheme as the international standard for spelling Chinese geographical names in China, which became the first step for Chinese Pinyin to go global.

  Two years later, China, on behalf of Zhou Youguang, proposed to the Technical Committee for Standardization of Information and Documentation, an international organization for standardization, that the Chinese Pinyin Scheme should be taken as an international standard. In 1982, ISO 7098 Document Work-Chinese Roman Alphabet Spelling officially became the international standard of Chinese Roman Alphabet Spelling. This indicates that Chinese Pinyin has become an international standard from the national standard in China.

  However, for a long time after that, the actual situation of Chinese Roman alphabet spelling in the world was still multi-scheme, and at the same time, Chinese Pinyin Scheme, wade Style and Yale Pinyin coexisted, and many countries and fields still acted according to their own habits. Considering this actual situation and the new requirements for Chinese Pinyin at home and abroad in the information age, it is necessary to revise the previous scheme.

  Since 2011, China has officially started the revision of ISO 7098, and in June 2015, it was unanimously approved by the Technical Committee of Information and Literature Standardization, an international organization for standardization. Feng Zhiwei, the leader of the revision working group and a researcher at the Institute of Language and Character Application of the Ministry of Education, told the reporter: "The publication of this new international standard will help to improve the level of document automation in a digital and intelligent environment, so that Chinese Pinyin can play a greater role in international document work and further promote Chinese Pinyin to the world." Li Yuming, a well-known linguist in China, commented that this updated international standard "is a new step for Chinese Pinyin to enter the world, and also a new international step for Chinese culture".
