Can the delivery staff enter the community freely? Identity verification can be achieved, but the effect remains to be tested

  Our reporter, Peng Wenzhuo

  With the explosive growth of online ordering, it has become the norm for takeaways to enter and exit the community. However, wearing takeaway clothes as a "pass" to enter and exit the community has caused chaos one after another. News such as "men pretending to be takeaway brothers stealing" are common, making takeaway delivery pose a hidden danger to the safety of the community.

  Should the community prohibit takeaway personnel from entering and leaving?

  At 7 PM on January 1, Wang Pengfei had just trotted out of Changhewan Community in the northwest second ring road of Beijing and quickly boarded the electric car to start the next business, because he was delayed for ten minutes.

  Wang Pengfei, a deliveryman at a takeaway platform, said that many communities now do not allow delivery electric vehicles to drive in, so they can only park the car outside and run in by themselves. "There are several common situations where deliverymen deliver takeout to communities: if they are not allowed in, they run in or stuff it in the small fence door; sometimes they just wait for the predecessors to swipe their cards to follow in, or discuss with the doorman to register; and the takeout is placed in the reception hall, and the owner goes downstairs to get it himself."

  For the increasingly strict management system of the community, Wang Pengfei is a little helpless: sometimes because the delivery of food on this road is timed out, this order is equivalent to nothing. For customers, in hot or cold weather, ordering takeout is convenient. If it cannot be delivered directly to the door, satisfaction will decline. In addition, many people usually dress casually at home, and they have to change clothes specially for a takeaway, they will feel inconvenient.

  A pizza brand takeaway worker summed up a food delivery experience to reporters: in general old communities, takeaway delivery is more casual, and you can basically enter with a single word; for commercial housing communities, it is common for takeaway workers to register at the door; for some luxury houses, takeaway workers are generally denied entry. There are also well-managed properties that are confirmed by video phone and then released, and there is a better identity verification mechanism.

  Should the delivery staff be prohibited from entering and leaving the community? Different owners have different views on this. Some people believe that some outsiders pretend to be delivery staff and put up advertisements in the corridors, elevators and other places of the community, and some people knock on the wrong door, etc., to let strangers enter the community. There are also owners who believe that "no entry" makes life inconvenient, and the community should eliminate hidden dangers by strengthening security and identity verification.

  Takeaway clothing can be bought online for safety hazards

  In July last year, a food delivery platform in Chengdu clashed with community security guards, causing a group fight. According to a statement released by Ping An Wenjiang, the point of conflict between the food delivery platform and security guards lies in the management regulations for food delivery personnel entering and leaving the community.

  This reflects the current contradictions between the property and the delivery staff in many places. It is understood that the regulations such as "delivery is not allowed into the community" are not a whim. The news of "man pretending to be a delivery brother to steal" "borrowing delivery points to draw theft routes" "delivery staff burglary" is not uncommon.

  In an interview with reporters, security guards in several neighborhoods on East Jiaotong Road in Beijing believed that the overalls explained the purpose of the visit. The delivery staff are all wearing uniforms, and the clothes they wear on the cars they ride are marked, so they can tell what they are doing at a glance. If the delivery staff are asked to register, they may not cooperate in order to rush for time; if they are not allowed to enter the community, the owners may complain to the property company, so they usually ask the delivery staff who are not wearing delivery clothes to register.

  For many communities, the delivery staff’s uniforms function as "access cards", becoming "passes" for entering and leaving some communities, but those wearing delivery clothes are not necessarily the real delivery staff.

  In August last year, Beijing’s Fengtai district cracked a case of "fake food delivery real theft". According to the confession of the alleged offender, he used to be a delivery worker, but he quit his job because he was tired and had no means of livelihood. So he used a private stash of delivery work clothes as cover, and wandered around the residential area late at night, repeatedly smashing the contents of roadside vehicles.

  According to regulations, only formal food delivery personnel can obtain takeaway clothes, and they need to register on the platform and provide ID cards, health certificates and other documents. The takeaway platform will not issue takeaway clothes to part-time delivery people, and the departing staff must hand over the clothes.

  However, according to media reports, a number of takeaway platforms are selling takeaway clothes online. The reporter logged into a shopping website and entered "takeaway work clothes". The page that popped up had takeaway clothes from a number of takeaway platforms, with prices ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan. In response, a takeaway platform responded that in response to the chaos of takeaway rider clothes, they have communicated with online shopping platforms, hoping that relevant online shopping platforms can remove takeaway clothes from the shelves as soon as possible.

  Entering the community can achieve identity verification, but the effect remains to be tested

  How to prevent criminals wearing takeaway clothes from entering the community? This has become a pain point in many community management.

  Recently, a program called "Community Guard" came out, which aims to solve the dilemma of "last 100 meters" of takeaway delivery: when a takeaway enters the community, the security guard opens the Mini Program or scans its QR code, which can verify the identity and order status in one second, and track its location after entering the community in real time.

  According to the person in charge of the product, this Mini Program has functions such as identity verification, access management, and track tracking. It has been connected to some property communities in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and other cities, and will be applied to shopping malls, hospitals, etc. In the future, it will also be applied to shopping malls, hospitals, etc. After using it, a delivery staff said, "In the past, it took at least 2 to 3 minutes to enter the community to sign, register, and show the certificate. Now it takes’seconds’ to scan with the Mini Program, which saves time and effort."

  For consumers, the opening of identity verification allows takeout to be delivered to their homes, saving waiting time. For security guards, they can monitor the dynamics of takeout personnel in real time, strengthen security management, and reduce security risks. But the actual effect remains to be considered.

  A takeaway worker who ran an order in the area of Jintai Road in Chaoyang District, Beijing, worried that many properties would not necessarily cooperate with such identity verification. "Many security guards ignore the takeaway staff, and you don’t open the door if you call him, so you ask him to take the initiative to scan the code to monitor you, which may not be realized."

  Then how can we prevent criminals posing as food delivery personnel? A takeaway platform staff member said: First of all, we must observe that the delivery staff’s vehicle must be equipped with a delivery box; secondly, we must learn to distinguish. Generally, the delivery staff will not wander between floors when delivering food, and will basically complete the delivery task by trotting. If you encounter suspicious personnel, you should call the police as soon as possible.

  And if the delivery staff committed illegal acts during the delivery process, the staff said that once the delivery staff was complained by consumers and the complaint was true, the delivery platform would blacklist them and share credit information with other delivery platforms.

Development and Reform Commission: Beijing and other seven provinces and cities will not adjust the price of passenger taxis for the time being

     

    [Content overview]Since November 1st, the ex-factory price of domestic gasoline and diesel has increased by 500 yuan per ton respectively, which has a great impact on the transportation industry. According to the characteristics of different transportation industries and local actual conditions, local price authorities have actively studied and taken measures to timely channel the impact of refined oil price adjustment.


    China News Service, November 15th, according to the website of the National Development and Reform Commission, since November 1st, the ex-factory prices of domestic gasoline and diesel have increased by 500 yuan per ton, which has a great impact on the transportation industry. According to the characteristics of different transportation industries and local actual conditions, local price authorities have actively studied and taken measures to timely ease the impact of refined oil price adjustment.


    First, road passenger transportation prices


    Nine provinces and municipalities, including Hebei, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guizhou and Shaanxi, have taken measures to reduce prices. Among them, Guizhou has increased the fuel surcharge standard by 0.004 yuan per person-kilometer, Hunan has increased the fuel surcharge standard by 0.5 yuan per person-kilometer, Fujian has introduced a fuel surcharge of 0.01 yuan per person-kilometer, and Shaanxi has introduced a fuel surcharge of 1 yuan per person-kilometer. Hebei, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi have issued documents or according to the existing oil transportation linkage mechanism, allowing cities or transportation enterprises to appropriately adjust the road passenger transportation price within the floating range of the government’s benchmark price according to the actual situation.


    Ten provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, including Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan, Hainan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Gansu and Xinjiang, plan to adopt price-plus measures. Among them, Yunnan plans to implement a fuel surcharge plan on November 23. Shandong, Henan, Hainan, Chongqing and Gansu plan to study and approve the collection of fuel surcharges. Jilin and Inner Mongolia plan to issue documents requiring all cities and states to adjust freight rates or introduce fuel surcharge plans according to the actual situation in accordance with the established linkage plan. Some regions in Jiangsu and Xinjiang consider choosing an opportunity to increase freight rates.


    Six provinces and municipalities including Tianjin, Shanxi, Heilongjiang, Hubei, Sichuan and Qinghai have explicitly not adjusted freight rates this time. Among them, Heilongjiang, Hubei and Sichuan have introduced fuel additions to passenger fares last year, which have eased the pressure of rising oil prices to a certain extent, and will not increase fares this time. Tianjin, Shanxi and Qinghai also do not plan to adjust road passenger fares for the time being.


    Due to the intense competition in road passenger transportation in Liaoning and Guangdong provinces, enterprises are concerned that the increase in fares will affect the passenger source, so they do not recommend adjusting fares. At present, road passenger fares are relatively stable, and the price authorities are strengthening market freight monitoring. Whether to increase fuel surcharges is still being studied.


    The price of passenger transport in Tibet and Ningxia is regulated by the market, and it is understood that passenger transport companies plan to increase fares by 10-15%.


    The fares set by the provinces opposite Beijing’s highway passenger transportation will be implemented in accordance with the policies determined by the relevant provinces.


    Taxi fare


    Six provinces including Hebei, Anhui, Fujian, Henan, Guangdong and Guizhou have formulated measures to reduce the price of refined oil. Documents are being drafted or have been issued to allow cities to raise taxi prices, raise the starting price or charge fuel surcharges according to the linkage mechanism of oil transportation prices to ease the contradiction between refined oil prices. The Xiamen Price Bureau of Fujian has reported the plan to collect fuel surcharges to the municipal government, waiting for approval.


    Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Shandong, Hubei, Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai and other 13 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government plan to introduce price-matching measures. Among them, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Shandong, Hubei, Yunnan, Gansu, Qinghai and other places plan to require all localities to adjust freight rates or charge fuel surcharges in the form of easing conflicting prices of taxi freight rates in accordance with existing policies and local conditions. The specific issue of taxi price adjustment is decided by the localities. Some cities in Zhejiang plan to adjust taxi freight rates or introduce fuel surcharges in the near future. Shanghai is formulating measures and studying and calculating the linkage plan in accordance with the established linkage plan. Sichuan and Shaanxi plan to uniformly charge taxis for fuel surcharges after adjusting natural gas prices at the end of the year or early next year. Shanxi province plans to start a linkage mechanism for taxi fuel prices in 2008. Chongqing is observing market reactions and studying freight rate reform plans.


    The prices of passenger taxis and Shanghai freight taxis in seven provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, including Beijing, Tianjin, Hunan, Guangxi, Hainan, Tibet and Ningxia, will not be adjusted this time. Among them, passenger taxis in Beijing, Tianjin, Hainan and Ningxia and Shanghai freight taxis will not be adjusted for the time being considering the market’s affordability. Hunan and Guangxi have introduced fuel surcharges for taxis in 2006. This time, the existing fuel surcharge plan will be implemented, and no additional fuel surcharges will be charged. Tibet has introduced a measure to reduce road maintenance fees by 30 yuan per month for taxis in the second two months of this year, without adjusting the freight rate.


    Liaoning, Jilin, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Xinjiang and other five provinces and autonomous regions reported that taxi drivers are currently calm, and the price authorities plan to strengthen monitoring and decide on further measures after observing the market.


    III. Urban public transportation and rural public transportation prices


    In strict accordance with relevant state regulations, all localities will distribute state subsidies for urban public transportation and rural public transportation to relevant business units to make up for the impact of rising refined oil products on cost increases and maintain the stability of urban public transportation and rural public transportation prices.


    IV. Local railway freight rates


    Hunan Province has adjusted local railway freight rates according to the national railway practice.


    Local railway enterprises in Hebei, Guangdong, Guangxi and other provinces and autonomous regions have reported that they have been greatly affected by the rise in oil prices, and require appropriate increases in local railway freight rates in accordance with the national railway practice.


    V. Road freight and water freight prices


    Road freight and water freight rates have been subject to market-adjusted prices, and the price level is mainly determined by market supply and demand. However, in the long run, if the price of refined oil rises sharply or remains high for a long time, it is difficult for operating companies to digest the cost increase factors, and they will still pass the burden downstream by increasing freight rates. At present, the freight rates of some road freight lines in Zhejiang have risen.


    VI. Financial subsidies


    Local price authorities have actively cooperated with relevant departments to implement financial subsidy measures. At present, central financial subsidies in Tianjin, Heilongjiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, Xinjiang and other places have been in place. All localities have started to formulate subsidy distribution plans or have allocated subsidies to industry authorities. All departments have actively implemented subsidy distribution work.


    In addition to providing financial subsidies for urban public transportation and rural passenger transportation according to regulations, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Anhui, Fujian, Hubei, Ningxia, Qinghai and other places have also introduced subsidy measures for taxis. Among them, Beijing requires the government, enterprises and drivers to jointly bear the impact of the rise in oil prices in a ratio of 4:4:2, and the government and enterprises will jointly give drivers a monthly subsidy of 110 yuan. Before the implementation of the linkage mechanism in Shanghai, the government and enterprises will give temporary subsidies to taxi drivers respectively. Anhui Provincial Finance provided 11 million yuan to subsidize taxis. Ningxia gave a monthly government subsidy of 246 yuan per taxi. Fujian, Hubei and Qinghai asked cities and counties to give temporary subsidies to taxis. Tianjin’s finance department is calculating the amount of subsidies and will issue them before the end of the year.


    VII. Main problems existing


    At present, the main problems encountered by local price authorities in guiding freight contradictions are:


    For example, Guangzhou and other regions reflect that taxi prices are already relatively high, and it is easy to lose taxi passengers and increase drivers’ operational difficulties by adjusting taxi transportation prices or increasing fuel surcharges. For example, some regions plan to channel the impact of rising oil prices on road passenger transportation within the floating range of government-guided prices, but due to intense market competition, the actual fare level is difficult to increase, and operators bear all the impact of rising oil prices.


    The second is that the amount of subsidies for rural road and rural waterway passenger transportation is insufficient. Some places report that rural road and waterway passenger transportation service targets are basically farmers, and their affordability is weak. It is difficult to channel the cost increase caused by the increase in fuel prices through raising fares. The state also requires this part of the freight price to remain stable. However, the central government only subsidizes 50% of the cost increase. It is very difficult to raise and implement local financial matching subsidies, and operators are facing difficulties. The operators of inter-island waterway passenger transportation in Zhejiang Province have put forward price adjustment requirements to the government.


    Third, the increase in the price of refined oil has increased the difficulty of stabilizing the Spring Festival fares. During the 2007 Spring Festival travel period, measures were introduced that did not achieve good results in road passenger fares, which were widely welcomed by all walks of life. After the adjustment of refined oil prices, operator costs have generally increased, and it is difficult for Spring Festival fares in 2008 to remain at the 2007 level.


    In response to the above-mentioned problems, the price authorities at all levels should continue to take into account the actual local situation, under the unified leadership of the local party committee and government, work closely with relevant departments, and take comprehensive measures to reduce the burden on operators, resolve the impact of rising refined oil prices on the transportation industry, strictly control the increase in transportation prices, and maintain industry and social stability.

  ■ "Hurry up and see if you can save someone’s life."

  ■ "Rescue is better than a few minutes later."

  The maximum speed of taxis is almost 100 kilometers per hour

  ■ and leading pickup trucks running red lights, speeding and going in the opposite direction

  Return:

  ■ "Do our best in professional ethics"

  ■ The video was taken, "This is a good thing, what are you afraid of?"

  When he encountered a car accident, the taxi driver Tang Qi’s first reaction was to "hurry up and see if he can save someone’s life." On the afternoon of May 4, on his way to Pengzhou, he saw a car accident and a woman unconscious. He carried the injured into the taxi and prepared to send them to the hospital. Because he was not familiar with the road conditions, a small truck at the scene also joined in: turning on the double flash and guiding the taxi all the way to the hospital gate. During the period, the two cars ran red lights, speeding, and at one point going retrograde. Five minutes later, the injured were sent to the hospital for treatment.

  "We’ve done our best, brother Liu," Tang Qi said to his car companion Liu Gongyong as he left the hospital. Noticing that someone was filming the scene and thinking that it might be posted online, Liu Gongyong said: "Just send it, it’s a good thing, what are you afraid of?"

  In a car accident on the road, the taxi driver stops to save people

  On the afternoon of the 4th, the taxi master Tang Qi picked up the car and prepared to go to Pengzhou, "to buy a dog for Guanghan’s friend." On the way, he met another taxi master in the same community, Liu Gongyong, "He just finished work, so I called him to go with him." After buying, Tang Qi drove to Guanghan, and Liu Gongyong sat in the co-pilot.

  "There was a bit of a traffic jam when we were about to reach Sunshine," Tang Qi recalled, and after driving slowly for a while, he noticed that there was a small car on the road ahead, the rear of the car was facing the middle of the road, and the front of the car was damaged – obviously there was a collision. "There were still people watching."

  "Is it bad to see people?" Tang Qi said in the car video. He tried to look in the direction of the accident car a few times, and when he heard his companion in the co-pilot say, "It’s possible that the person has been fixed," Tang Qi blurted out, "Let’s go and take a look." Then, he pulled the car forward and stopped. "Hurry up and see if you can save someone’s life," Tang Qi said when he loosened the seat belt and got out of the car.

  "The driver was a man," Tang Qi told reporters. The driver and the woman in the back were fine, except that a young woman in the passenger seat was unconscious. "Her eyes are a little white, and there is blood around her mouth." He remembered that it was not easy to open the door. Some people at the scene said to wait for 120 to come, and some people said not to move easily. "I said at the time that it is now time, and the rescue is better than a few minutes later."

  "In the past, when I studied theory, my teacher also said what to do when I encounter this situation on the road, so I probably know a little bit." In a rush of "hurry up, hurry up", Tang Qi carried the unconscious woman to the back seat, ready to go to the hospital, and another woman with him also got into the car. In the video, Master Tang did not forget to shout to the woman "Hold on".

  5 minutes to the hospital, two cars running red lights, speeding and going retrograde

  "We are not familiar with that side and don’t know where the nearest hospital is," Tang Qi said, at the time he also shouted "Does anyone know where there is a hospital nearby?" "There was a pickup truck parked on the side of the road ahead, and he said he would show us the way." At 18:04, the two cars drove in double flashes, and the on-board monitoring showed that the top speed of Mr. Tang’s taxis was almost 100 kilometers per hour.

  "I asked her friend to pinch her." As Master Tang drove, he didn’t forget to tell the back row, "and asked her friend to call her name loudly, don’t let her fall asleep." After 20 seconds, the two cars came to an intersection, and there was still half a minute before the red light, but they still rushed over. Liu Gongyong said from the side: "Don’t be afraid, just ask them to help prove it when the time comes."

  The woman in the back row never responded, and her friend cried again. Tang Qi and Liu Gongyong were also a little anxious. At one point, Liu Gongyong shouted "pull over to the side" at the motorcycle on the road. The minivan was blocked by the big car in front, and its speed slowed down. Liu Gongyong took out his mobile phone and shouted "nearby hospital" to the mobile phone, searching for route navigation. At 18:07, the taxi followed the minivan across the double solid line, borrowed the opposite lane and passed the car. At an intersection two minutes later, the two cars turned left almost as soon as the signal light turned red. At 18:09, the taxi arrived at the Second People’s Hospital of Pengzhou City. As soon as the car stopped, Tang Qi got out of the car and picked up the unconscious woman and ran to the emergency department.

  Five minutes later, after cleaning up the dog food that had been spilled in the back seat in a panic, Tang Qi and Liu Gongyong returned to the car and started the vehicle to leave.

  Accident Injuries:

  I fell asleep in the passenger seat.

  Thank you very much, taxi driver.

  The reporter found the injured woman in the incident, Ms. Liang. After five days in the hospital, she has gone home to recuperate. "We were returning to Guanghan from Pengzhou, and I fell asleep in the passenger seat. I don’t know what happened later." She suffered multiple bumps and a minor concussion. "I really appreciate the taxi driver," she said. Ms. Liang also said that she was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the incident, "I must wear it in the future."

  Ms. Liang’s boyfriend, Feng Xiansheng, recalled that the speed of the car was about 60 kilometers at the time. "I forgot whether there was a person or an animal on the road, and when I was avoiding, I took a direction and hit a tree on the side of the road." After waiting for the traffic police to deal with the accident, he rushed to the hospital. "The two masters have already left." For their kindness, "I am very touched and very grateful." Mr. Feng also said that he would cooperate with the handling of vehicle violations in the incident. "In this case, there will be more good deeds like this in the future."

  "They are all good people," said Ms. Zhang, Ms. Liang’s companion that day. The pickup truck that led the way didn’t even give them contact information, she said. "They should have left when they got to the hospital."

  Taxi driver:

  "Doing a favor is also a good thing"

  "We have done our best."

  Tang Qi is the brother of Chengdu Chengfeng Taxi Company and has been driving taxis for nearly two years now; Liu Gongyong is from Chengdu Zhonghe Taxi Co., Ltd.

  Tang Qi recalled that he had encountered a car accident on the road near the botanical garden, and he also sent people to the nearby hospital for free. "If you hurt someone, you have to do it first," he said.

  Tang Qi felt that even though he had something to do at the time of the incident, others were "a matter of life", and his own business was nothing.

  On the evening of the 4th, when he left the hospital, Tang Qi noticed that the left shoulder of his clothes was stained with blood. In the video, he and Liu Gongyong chatted easily.

  "It’s nothing, it’s a good thing to do a favor." Liu Gongyong said.

  "We’ve done our best, Ka, Brother Liu." Tang Qi also answered.

  Someone at the scene took a video of Tang Qi and Liu Gongyong rescuing the injured and sent it to Douyin. The reporter noticed that the video had more than 600 likes. Tang Qi and Liu Gongyong also noticed that someone was filming, thinking that it might be posted online. In the chat on the return journey, Liu Gongyong said: "This is a good thing, what are you afraid of?"

  Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star News reporter Peng Liang, the picture shows a screenshot of the video

Li Liang: How can the East and the West communicate and dialogue under the same starry sky?

  China News Agency, Beijing, October 26th: Under the same starry sky, how can the East and the West carry out exchanges and dialogues?

  - Interview with Li Liang, a researcher at the Institute of Natural Science History of the Chinese Academy of Sciences

  Authors, Xu Jing, Du Yan

  From ancient times to the present, the mysterious and magnificent vast starry sky has attracted the attention of different human civilizations on earth. "Chasing dreams and galaxies" is not only the romantic feelings of ordinary people, but also the pursuit of people’s careers for thousands of years. "The calendar is like the sun, moon and stars, and the time of the people is honored". People’s observation activities of the starry sky are closely related to production and life, resulting in a number of great inventions, which promote the development of science and technology.

  Li Liang, a researcher at the Institute of Natural Science History of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently accepted an exclusive interview with China News Agency’s "East-West Question", tracing how human beings go from looking up at the starry sky to space step by step, telling how the East and the West communicate and dialogue around the same starry sky, explaining the role of "looking up at the starry sky" in promoting scientific progress and the development of civilization for thousands of years, and why human beings will continue their journey to the sea of stars to explore the boundless universe.

  A summary of the interview is as follows:

  China News Agency reporter: Why do humans observe the starry sky? When did astronomical records begin?

  Li Liang:The history of humans looking up at the starry sky is very early, dating back thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Astronomical observations can be said to have originated from some of the most basic human questions, such as "who are we" and "where do we come from".

  Archaeological evidence suggests that ancient Chinese astronomical observation activities date back at least to the Neolithic period. In the 1970s, a batch of Neolithic painted pottery with patterns of the sun, moon and stars was unearthed in Dahe Village, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, which was determined to be about 4,000 to 6,000 years ago. The discovery of the site of the Tao Temple Observatory in Shanxi Province confirms that there was an official observatory in China at least 4,000 years ago. It is currently one of the earliest observatories in the world discovered by archaeology.

  From the existing archaeological and historical data, it can be seen that since about the 8th century BC, humans have had a relatively systematic celestial record.

  The magnificent starry sky has always attracted the attention of different human civilizations on earth, but only ancient Babylon, ancient China, and European and Arab civilizations after the Middle Ages have left a rich legacy of astronomical records. Especially after the decline of ancient Babylon, between 50 BC and 800 AD, China became almost the only country that has been diligent in observing and recording celestial phenomena for a long time. Most of the surviving celestial records from this period also came from China.

  Astronomy has many applications and is a very useful science. From a modern perspective, the accuracy and complexity achieved by ancient astronomy far exceeded that of other ancient natural sciences.

  China News Agency reporter: Why does the same starry sky form different constellations in the east and the west? Why is the star map called "the epitome of the world at that time"?

  Li Liang:For thousands of years, people in different regions have looked up at the same starry sky, but have their own understanding and interpretation of the starry sky.

  Almost every ancient civilization had its own constellation system. The modern constellation system we still use today originated in Mesopotamia 5,000 years ago. At that time, the Sumerians had learned how to use stars to distinguish time and season. Gradually, in order to facilitate memory, they connected different stars and imagined familiar patterns. This is the origin of constellations. Later, constellation observations here were further developed, spreading to the surrounding areas such as ancient Greece and ancient Egypt, and influencing the surrounding civilizations. In the 2nd century AD, the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy summed up 48 constellations on the basis of his predecessors. This is the basic prototype of the modern constellation system. It can be said that Western traditional constellations were produced on the basis of long-term mutual exchanges and integration of multiple civilizations, and are the crystallization of the wisdom of early agricultural and animal husbandry civilizations and maritime civilizations.

  Among the four ancient civilizations, only the Chinese civilization has continued to this day. Ancient China had its own theoretical system for dividing and naming the sky, and the constellations were usually called "star officials". The star official system took shape at the latest in the Warring States period, which was composed of the North Star and the Big Dipper, as well as the twenty-eight constellations in the Yellow Equatorial Belt. During the Three Kingdoms period, Chen Zhuo further determined the star official system of 283 star officials and 1,464 stars, which became the standard for the star official system in ancient China in the future. In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, people added some constellations translated from the West, and eventually formed about 300 star officials.

  Unlike traditional Western constellations, which are mainly based on myths and legends, the ancient Chinese star official system can be said to be a reflection of society and culture in the sky, with unique cultural connotations. When Zhang Heng described ancient star officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he believed: "In the wild elephants, in the court elephants, in officials, in people and things, so it is ready." Therefore, most of China’s star names are named after artifacts, official names, and personnel, and the sky has become a microcosm of all aspects of the ancient world, social systems, and humanistic customs.

  In order to use and spread constellations, the ancients drew them on different materials, gradually forming the later star map. Star maps are not only a way for people to understand and record the starry sky, but also an important tool for studying and learning astronomy. They contain the infinite wisdom and imagination of human beings and are a microcosm of human exploration of the universe.

  Star maps were also known as astronomical maps in ancient China. There were many types of star maps in ancient China, which were exquisitely and meticulously drawn. They were an important achievement of scientific civilization and were rare in world history.

  China News Agency: As an important part of science, has Chinese and foreign astronomy exchanged ideas and learned from each other in the process of development?

  Li Liang:Astronomy has been a very important subject since ancient times. Among the four major sciences of heaven, arithmetic, agriculture and medicine in ancient China, astronomy was responsible for the important task of "chronicling the sun, moon and stars, and honoring the time of the people", which was closely related to production and life.

  The astronomical calendar occupied a pivotal position in the political system of ancient China, and was even enshrined as an official "orthodox" school for a long time. Therefore, official institutions dedicated to observing celestial phenomena and compiling calendars emerged. This way of operation played a positive role in promoting the development of Chinese astronomy, making China a country where astronomical observation activities have never been interrupted among many ancient civilizations, thus leaving a rich astronomical heritage.

  In his History of Science and Technology in China, Joseph Needham, a British historian of science, quoted Sutton and other historians of science: "From the Middle Ages until the end of the 14th century, there was no star map other than China."

  The ancient Chinese star map spread to Japan and the Korean Peninsula, forming a unique astrological system shared by the entire East Asia region. It was also one of the important links for the dissemination of ancient science and culture. In addition, the Xuanming Calendar of the Tang Dynasty was used in Japan for 823 years, making it one of the longest-lived calendars in history. The official calendar of the Korean Sejong period (1418-1450), the "Seven Political Calculations", was compiled on the basis of the "Giving Time Calendar" of the Yuan Dynasty and the "Datong Calendar" of the Ming Dynasty.

  It can be said that under the historical and social background of "books and texts", ancient China developed an "Eastern astronomy system" that was different from that of the West, and formed a strong cultural identity in East Asia and other regions. At the same time, the astronomical exchanges and exchanges among Eastern civilizations further promoted the formation and development of Eastern astronomy traditions.

  Civilizations are colorful because of exchanges, and civilizations are enriched because of mutual learning. In the course of the development of astronomy, China has its own continuous export and special contribution, and has always been a broad-minded and inclusive of all kinds of excellent foreign science and culture. China has also introduced astronomy knowledge from outside the region many times in history, three of which are relatively large. Liang Qichao pointed out in "The Academic History of China in the Near Three Hundred Years": "Arithmetic is very developed in China in ancient times, but it has been improved every time under the influence of foreign countries. The first is the Brahman method in the Tang Dynasty, the second is the Huihui method in the Yuan Dynasty, and the third is the Western method passed down by the Jesuits in the Ming and Qing Dynasties."

  China News Agency reporter: What role does ancient Chinese astronomical records play today? What impact does the development of astronomy have on the development of human society?

  Li Liang:Ancient China had made brilliant achievements in astronomical observation and accumulated a large amount of astronomical data. Needham once commented: "The Chinese astronomical records show that the Chinese were the most persistent and accurate astronomical observers in the world before the Arabs." "Modern astronomers have turned to these Chinese astronomical records on many occasions to obtain valuable results."

  Among the objects of modern astronomy research, many are about the evolution of celestial bodies and the universe, and the time range involved is extremely long. The precious historical materials we have accumulated are of great value. For example, there are thousands of records of solar and lunar eclipses in ancient China, which are very valuable for studying the changes in the speed of the earth’s rotation. For example, ancient Chinese records of comets, novae and supernovae, as well as sunspots, played an irreplaceable role. In the 1950s, Xi Zezong, one of the pioneers of the history of Chinese science, published the "New Table of Ancient Novae", which took full advantage of the great superiority of ancient China in complete, continuous and accurate astronomical observation data, and recorded the record of nova and supernova explosions in Chinese history, which won a reputation for the history of Chinese astronomy, the history of science and even the Chinese people.

  No matter in ancient times or modern times, astronomy is the "vanguard" of scientific development. The countless questions that humans look up at the starry sky have not only promoted the development of astronomy, but also promoted the development of science and technology and civilization.

  In recent years, a number of new achievements have emerged in Chinese astronomy: the "Guo Shoujing Telescope" has helped reveal more mysteries about the Milky Way, and the "China Sky Eye" has played an important role in neutral hydrogen universe research, pulsar search and physics research. Currently, the China Sky Survey Space Telescope, the "Taiji Project", and the Square Kilometer Array Radio Telescope are advancing.

  Once upon a time, "Yi invited the medicine of immortality to the Queen Mother of the West, and Huo’e stole it to fly to the moon." Today, the moon has become an important exploration target in China’s aerospace field, with a very romantic name – "Chang’e Project"; once, Qu Yuan used a series of questions in "Tianwen" to ask and think about the origin of the entire universe. Now, the "Tianwen 1" probe and the "Zhurong" rover are providing important scientific basis for in-depth understanding of Mars; once, "Kuafu exceeded his strength and wanted to chase the sun." Now, China’s comprehensive solar exploration satellite "Kuafu 1" has been launched into space, starting a journey to explore the sun.

  The above results demonstrate that some of the major developments China has made in the fields of astronomy and aerospace have reached the international advanced or leading level.

  There are still many unsolved mysteries in the universe waiting to be explored. In distant places, there are pioneers of human civilization who represent the curiosity of human civilization and move forward all the way. In the future, China and other countries in the world will face the same sea of stars and trace the origin of mankind and the universe through the joint efforts of generations. (End)

Many viewers are still confused after watching the movie

There are many questions that need to be answered urgently

Here, the editor has carefully prepared

Some water-related knowledge points in movies

Come and learn knowledge together!

Why do space elevators need to use ice shields to return to the atmosphere?

In The Wandering Earth 2, the space elevator soars into the sky

It can be called a "cosmic highway"

The scene of the space elevator going back and forth also made the audience hooked

Returning to the ground from space causes friction with the atmosphere to generate heat

If the elevator is allowed to return to the atmosphere

First spray a large amount of water to freeze

Theoretically, it could form a protective shield

Absorbs heat generated by friction and reduces impact

And this takes advantage of the heat resistance and strength of ice.

How strong can ice be?

The cooler the temperature, the harder the ice.

Policy Interpretation: New Path, New Measures, New Situation, Utilizing New Generation Information Technology to Deepen Industrial and Financial Cooperation in the Field of Industrial Green Developmen

Green development is a major task based on the new development stage, implementing the new development concept, and building a new development pattern. As the main battlefield of the real economy, accelerating the green development of industry is an important way to comprehensively promote the green transformation of the economy and society. In order to better support the green development of industry, MIIT, the People’s Bank of China, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, and the Securities Supervision Commission jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening Industrial and Financial Cooperation to Promote Industrial Green Development", deployed a number of key tasks of industrial and financial cooperation, and comprehensively strengthened the service and support role of finance for industrial green development.

First, to open up a new situation of industrial green development, it is urgent to empower the depth of industrial and financial cooperation

The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the construction of ecological civilization in our country has entered a key period of focusing on carbon reduction, promoting the synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, promoting the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, and realizing the improvement of ecological environment quality from quantitative change to qualitative change. Industry, as a key area of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, requires a large amount of capital investment in the research and development of green and low-carbon technologies, the green transformation of enterprise production management, and the optimization and adjustment of industrial structure layout.

However, there is still a large gap in the current funding supply in the field of green development, which is far from meeting the funding needs of green development. It is estimated that the overall scale of funding demand for achieving peak carbon dioxide emissions carbon neutrality in our country is more than 100 trillion yuan, and the annual funding demand is about 3.10 trillion to 3.60 trillion yuan. However, the annual funding supply in the field of green development is only about 520 billion yuan, and the funding gap exceeds 2.50 trillion yuan. Insufficient funding supply has become an important factor restricting the in-depth promotion of industrial green development. To accelerate the promotion of industrial green development, we must strengthen industrial and financial cooperation and effectively expand financial investment in the field of industrial green development.

Second, the new generation of information technology provides a new path for deepening industrial and financial cooperation

Industrial and financial cooperation is an important means to expand the supply of funds in the field of industrial green development and help the industry realize green transformation and upgrading. However, the current industrial and financial cooperation in the field of industrial green development still faces some problems and challenges, which are highlighted in the low degree of information sharing between Financial Institution Groups and industrial enterprises, the low efficiency of supply and demand docking, and the limited means of financial services. There are certain deficiencies in the breadth, speed, intensity, and accuracy of financial support for industrial green development. The new generation of information technology can help alleviate the pain points and difficulties faced by industrial and financial cooperation, and better play the role of industrial and financial cooperation in supporting industrial green development.

First, the new generation of information technology can promote information sharing between Financial Institution Groups and industrial enterprises, and expand the scope of industrial and financial cooperation. New-generation information technologies such as the Internet and big data are powerful tools to break down information silos, promote information openness, and promote information sharing. With the help of Internet platforms, big data technologies, etc., information related to green development of industrial enterprises can be integrated and shared at low cost and with high efficiency. This will help Financial Institution Groups fully grasp the specific situation of green development of industrial enterprises, alleviate the problem of information asymmetry between Financial Institution Groups and industrial enterprises, and help solve the problems faced by Financial Institution Groups in supporting green development of industry.

Second, the new generation of information technology can promote the precise docking of financing needs and capital supply, and improve the efficiency of industrial and financial cooperation. Relying on Internet technology and platforms, online docking channels can be established between industrial enterprises and Financial Institution Groups to help Financial Institution Groups grasp the financing needs of industrial enterprises in a timely manner, promote the efficient and accurate docking of capital supply and demand, and help industrial enterprises reduce financing thresholds and improve financing efficiency. For example, MIIT relies on the data resources of relevant units inside and outside the Ministry to lead the construction of the national industry and finance cooperation platform. From February 2021 to the end of October, more than 101,000 enterprises have been warehoused, covering 797 national Financial Institution Groups, and a total of 95.91 billion yuan of credit has been signed, which has effectively alleviated the financing problems of industrial enterprises.

Third, the new generation of information technology can promote the continuous innovation and improvement of financial products and services, and improve the level of industrial and financial cooperation. On the one hand, there are differences in the foundation and development path of industrial enterprises’ green development, and the corresponding financing needs are also different, which requires the Financial Institution Group to provide differentiated services to support. The new generation of information technology such as big data and artificial intelligence can help the Financial Institution Group to deeply understand the financing needs and related information of enterprises, and improve the level of personalization and precision of financial services. On the other hand, relying on traditional financial products and services is difficult to effectively meet the new requirements of industrial green development. It is necessary to accelerate the innovation of financial products and services in response to the trend of industrial green development. Cloud computing, blockchain, artificial intelligence and other new generation information technologies can help Financial Institution Groups innovate financial products and services, and enhance the ability and level of green development of the financial services industry.

III. The Guiding Opinions System Deploys New Measures to Strengthen Industrial and Financial Cooperation Using New Generation Information Technology

The "Guiding Opinions" closely focus on the main problems facing industrial and financial cooperation, accurately grasp the important role of the new generation of information technology in strengthening industrial and financial cooperation, and propose a number of measures to deepen the application of the new generation of information technology in industrial and financial cooperation, to promote industrial and financial cooperation to further consolidate the foundation, improve the level, and strengthen the ability of finance to support industrial green development in multiple directions.

The first is to build a climate and environmental information disclosure platform to promote the full sharing of information related to industrial green development. A sound climate and environmental information disclosure mechanism is an important foundation for promoting the development and growth of green finance and improving the level of capital investment in the field of industrial green development. The "Guiding Opinions" attaches great importance to the construction of a climate and environmental information disclosure mechanism, proposing to explore the establishment of a greenhouse gas emission information platform for industrial enterprises, and encourage enterprises to actively disclose relevant information with reference to mature experience. This measure aims to use the new generation of information technology to promote the full disclosure and open sharing of climate and environmental information, and build a solid foundation for financial support for industrial green development.

The second is to strengthen the construction of the national industry and finance cooperation platform and promote the efficient docking of industry and finance in the field of industrial green development. The national industry and finance cooperation platform has played an important role in promoting industry and finance docking and assisting enterprise financing, but the platform’s supporting role in industrial green development has not been fully realized. " Based on the existing foundation of the national industrial and financial cooperation platform, and facing the general trend of industrial green development, the Guiding Opinions propose to add a special area for "industrial green development" on the national industrial and financial cooperation platform, promote the unified registration and publicity system of "non-financial" data docking of movable property financing such as enterprise emission information, build and improve the platform ecology, and improve the quality and efficiency of platform services. A series of measures aim to further improve the platform construction, improve the efficiency of industrial and financial docking in the field of industrial green development, and help industrial enterprises green development financing needs to be effectively supported by the Financial Institution Group in a timely manner.

The third is to encourage Financial Institution Groups to use information technology to enhance the level of integration and innovation of financial products and services. In order to enhance the ability of Financial Institution Groups to support industrial green development, the "Guiding Opinions" strongly support Financial Institution Groups to use the new generation of information technology to optimize service capabilities and carry out financial innovation. On the one hand, the "Guiding Opinions" support Financial Institution Groups to rely on the new generation of information technology to conduct green digital portraits and automated assessments of industrial enterprises and projects, and improve personalized service capabilities. On the other hand, the "Guiding Opinions" encourage information technology enterprises to continuously explore new scenarios and new applications of new technologies in the financial field, carry out carbon accounting, carbon footprint certification business, provide financial solutions such as insurance based on behavioral data, and improve the level of green development of the financial services industry.

The owner of parking service business around some hospitals in Xi’ an said that he was not at ease.

  Going to the hospital to see a doctor, in addition to queuing for registration, is worrying. Driving to the hospital gate for a long time can’t get in and can’t find a parking space, which is also a worrying thing for patients and their families. Recently, a new service, parking service, has quietly sprung up around some 3A hospitals in Xi ‘an to solve the parking problem. How exactly does parking service serve? The reporter had an experience in front of several hospitals.

  experience

  Depojia two-hour parking charge 39 yuan

  At 9: 00 am on April 12th, the reporter drove to the intersection of Xiwu Road and Beixin Street, and found that the vehicles heading west of the intersection to the south gate of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi ‘an Jiaotong University had lined up in two "long queues" on the auxiliary road on the north side of the road, which was very slow. The reporter roughly counted, from the intersection to the gate of the hospital, there were 60 cars on the road only 200 meters away. The coordinator at the entrance of the hospital told the reporter that there are about 500 parking spaces in the hospital, but the number of patients who come to see a doctor by car far exceeds this number. Therefore, in the morning and afternoon rush hours, there are long queues of vehicles at the entrance of the hospital at any time. In addition, there is only one entrance to the hospital, so vehicles can only move forward a little while waiting in line, and if they are fast, they have to wait for ten or twenty minutes.

  While the reporter was at a loss, a parking service man with a parking billboard came to the front of the car and asked the reporter if he needed to park on his behalf. "You give me the car, I help you park, very convenient. I take twenty or thirty orders every day, which is absolutely no problem. If you are not at ease, I will send you the keys immediately after the car stops. " The parking person hesitated to see the reporter and kept explaining in the introduction. Later, according to its requirements, the reporter scanned the code and paid attention to its company’s parking applet, selected "I want to park" online and left my mobile phone number. Immediately after paying 39 yuan with WeChat, a uniformed valet driver immediately came forward to inspect the vehicle, and then valet parking officially started. After the reporter got off the bus, another staff member wearing the uniform of the parking driver also told the reporter about the follow-up use. According to the other party, the service fee for this valet parking is 39 yuan, including valet parking and pick-up and delivery services, and parking is free for 2 hours. If it exceeds 2 hours, the overtime service fee will be charged by 4 yuan every half hour before 15: 00 and 8 yuan every half hour after 15: 00. When picking up the car, the customer can contact the parking agent directly by phone, or enter the WeChat applet and click "I want to pick up the car". The staff will drive the car directly to the designated place for delivery, or send the car keys directly to the owner.

  I don’t feel comfortable giving my car to a stranger.

  In the interview, the reporter found that in the long queue of vehicles at the entrance of the hospital, several staff members wearing parking uniforms shuttled back and forth, constantly recommending their services to drivers waiting for parking. The reporter observed for half an hour, and seven drivers chose the parking service. However, many drivers said that they "don’t dare to use it" for the time being. Mr. Lin, the owner of the car, said that it is really not at ease to hand over the car directly to strangers. "What if the driver drives away directly?" Ms. Chen, the owner of the car, is worried: "It is still a trivial matter that there is a collision. The driver of Wanyi Park has a big accident that hurts people. How should the responsibility be divided? Only the relevant records on the WeChat applet, without a paper contract, feel unreliable. "

  Later, the reporter went to Xi ‘an Children’s Hospital, and saw the parking driver wearing the same uniform at the parking entrance of the west gate of the hospital. A valet parking driver surnamed Zhang told reporters that at present, there are seven or eight valet parking drivers waiting for orders in children’s hospital every day. Due to the limited number of parking spaces in the hospital parking lot and the large number of vehicles entering the hospital, it takes about 20 minutes or even longer for each order to pick up the car and park it. Because the valet parking service at the entrance of the hospital is still a new thing, some drivers don’t know much about it and don’t accept it, so most of the orders received are old customers, and even customers who have used valet parking service will take the initiative to contact the appointment form when they are in a hurry to park.

  In the face of everyone’s questions, the reporter contacted Mr. Lu, the person in charge of Xi’ an, which provides a parking service platform. He said that at present, the parking service in Xi ‘an is only launched in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University, Xi ‘an Children’s Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi ‘an Jiaotong University, and it has been in the promotion stage since it was launched on February 25. There are nearly 100 valet drivers in the company. From Monday to Friday, the time for taking orders is from 8: 00 am to 3: 00 pm every day. Now, there are nearly 1,000 orders per day on average. Although many car owners don’t know much about this, from the feedback of used car owners, everyone’s recognition is still relatively high. It is expected that this month, the platform will also open parking services for many hospitals such as Tang Dou Hospital and Provincial People’s Hospital. After the car owner successfully booked the parking service through the platform, the company will actively deal with the car owner’s concerns about vehicle rubbing and illegal vehicles during the parking period. In addition, the company has requirements for the driving experience and driving skills of the parking agent, and the driving experience must be more than 5 years. Mr. Lu also said that at present, the valet parking service at the entrance of the hospital has been carried out in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Hangzhou and Xi ‘an. Next, the platform will open services such as valet parking for travel, valet parking in business districts, and meal parking, and soon the parking service APP will be launched, so that the car owner reservation service will be more convenient.

  expert

  Parking service is a new attempt and it is necessary to strengthen supervision.

  Shi Ying, vice president of Shaanxi Academy of Social Sciences, said that as a new service mode, the parking service launched on the online platform really meets the parking needs of people who see a doctor. It is a new attempt, but supervision should be strengthened. In recent years, similar parking service services have appeared in the northern, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but most of them are the products of commercial companies’ operation, and the fees are relatively high, which is not very acceptable to patients and their families. It is suggested that major hospitals should form an official hospital parking platform to standardize and integrate parking service services, so as to ensure the safety of vehicles to the greatest extent and protect the service personnel who park on behalf of customers.

  Shi Ying also said that parking service can’t fundamentally solve the problem of parking difficulties, and functional departments need to strengthen parking guidance services, establish a perfect parking system, and at the same time strengthen the construction of public transportation near large hospitals to alleviate the parking contradiction from the source.

  lawyer

  Both sides of the service need to be careful to avoid disputes.

  "At present, services in parking service are all commercial activities, and their development is also the general trend. However, there are no special relevant laws and regulations to restrict and supervise them in China. In the case of parking service, both car owners and parking service providers conduct online transactions, so it is necessary to legally restrict the rights and obligations of both parties. Both car owners and service providers in parking service need to be cautious to avoid unnecessary disputes." Zhao Xiaodong, a lawyer of Shaanxi Haogong Law Firm, said that from the perspective of parking service companies, parking drivers must have a driver’s license and driving experience, and at the same time, they must carry out daily management and supervision. For the owner, valuables should be carried with him before handing over the car to the driver. If the driver makes an appointment through the mobile phone client, the driver’s license and ID card must be confirmed, and both parties should protect their rights and interests.

Liuzhou, Guangxi was hit by heavy rainfall, and hundreds of cars were flooded in the garage (Figure)

  BEIJING, Liuzhou, June 14 (Lin Xin) In the early morning of June 14, heavy rain and heavy rain fell in Liuzhou, Guangxi, causing many streets in the city to become rivers. Hundreds of cars parked in garages in several communities were soaked, and the citizens were called up to move the car without waking up.

  According to the introduction of Liuzhou Water Conservancy Bureau, during the 24 hours from 8: 00 on June 13th to 8: 00 on June 14th, the strongest rainfall occurred in Liuzhou city this year, with the rainfall ranging from 50 mm to 251 mm..

Liuzhou, Guangxi was hit by heavy rainfall, and hundreds of cars were flooded in the garage (Figure)

  Overnight rainstorm caused dozens of roads in Liuzhou to accumulate water up to the knees, and underground garages in Liushi Road, Zhaoxingyuan, Yaru Road, Tianjiang Lido and Jinshajiao were flooded, and hundreds of cars were soaked.

2. Record-breaking, Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an A round raised nearly 18.3 billion yuan.

Guangzhou Automobile Group recently disclosed the latest progress of A round financing of Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an.
