Japanese media： Fukushima nuclear pollution water discharge into the sea is likely to officially begin at the end of August.

BEIJING, August 7 (Xinhua)-According to a report by Japan’s Asahi Shimbun on the 6th, several Japanese government sources revealed that the Japanese government plans to formally decide the date of discharging Fukushima nuclear polluted water into the sea after the US-Japan-ROK summit on August 18th, and the sewage discharge into the sea may start at the end of August at the earliest.

　　It is reported that Japanese Prime Minister kishida fumio plans to attend the US-Japan-ROK summit in the United States on August 18th, during which he will meet separately with US President Biden and South Korean President Yin Xiyue.

　　According to the report, Kishida plans to explain the plan of discharging nuclear polluted water from Fukushima to the sea during the meeting, and hold a meeting of relevant cabinet members after returning to Japan to formally determine the date of discharging the sea.

　　Officials from the Japanese Prime Minister’s official residence revealed that it will take at least a week before the date of sea discharge is decided and the sea discharge is officially started.

　　According to the analysis of sources, the Japanese government has repeatedly stressed that it will start the sea discharge plan in the summer of 2023. At the same time, Fukushima Prefecture will lift the ban on bottom trawling in September, and the Japanese government is trying to avoid delaying the sea discharge time until September. Based on this, it is very likely that the sea discharge plan will officially start at the end of August.

　　Japan’s forced discharge of pollutants into the sea has aroused strong opposition at home and abroad.

　　On July 31, local time, citizen groups of Japan and South Korea held a protest rally in front of the Japanese Prime Minister’s residence in Tokyo, opposing the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company’s plan to push nuclear pollution water into the sea.

　　On July 19th, Haruhiko Terazawa, head of the Miyagi Fishery Association of Japan, expressed strong opposition to the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea, saying that this would inevitably have a negative impact on Japanese fisheries.

　　South Korean parliamentarian Zhu Zhexuan said a few days ago: "There are other ways besides discharging the sea. Just because the cost of discharging the sea is the lowest. " He also stressed: "It is absolutely impossible to pollute the ocean as the source of life and affect other countries."

　　The Malaysian People’s Party recently submitted a memorandum urging the Japanese government to cancel the plan of discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea and find other ways to deal with it.

　　Kalinga Senaviratne, consultant of the news project of Fiji South Pacific University, said that the Japanese practice has damaged the living environment of Pacific island countries.

　　China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said recently that the legitimacy, legality and safety of the Japanese plan to discharge nuclear polluted water into the sea have been questioned by the international community. No matter how the Japanese side whitewashes the wrongs, it can’t "bleach" the plan to expel the sea. Protests from neighboring countries and doubts from all walks of life in Japan are all evidence. China urges Japan to face up to the legitimate concerns of the international community and domestic people, stop pushing the plan of discharging the sea, fully communicate with neighboring countries in a sincere manner, effectively dispose of nuclear polluted water in a responsible manner, and accept international supervision.

Is it okay to open the skylight after it rains？

When driving in rainy days, it is not recommended to open the rear sunroof. This is because doing so may cause damage to the electronic control mechanism of the sunroof, and may also cause rainwater to enter the car, thus damaging the electronic system in the car.

The skylight of a car is a convenient function, but improper use may cause damage to the car. Therefore, when driving in rainy days, it is best to close the skylight to prevent rainwater from infiltrating into the car. In addition, be careful not to turn on the external circulation of air conditioner in rainy days, because this will lead to water in the car, which will affect the air quality and health in the car.

If you are not sure whether you can open the sunroof, it is recommended to check the owner’s manual of the vehicle or consult a professional technician. They can provide more specific suggestions to ensure that your vehicle is in good condition when driving in rainy days.

In a word, when driving in rainy days, we should pay attention to protecting all parts of the vehicle to ensure its normal operation. Closing the skylight and avoiding opening the external circulation of air conditioner are important measures to protect the safety of vehicles and passengers.

Rain today! Good rain knows the season, plants sprout and spring is coming.

On February 19, the rainy season was ushered in. This is the second of the 24 solar terms. Rainwater, like solar terms such as Grain Rain, Xiaoman, light snow and heavy snow, is a solar term that reflects the precipitation phenomenon and the ancient farming culture.
During the rainy solar term, the direct point of the sun is gradually approaching the equator from the southern hemisphere. At this time, the sunshine hours and intensity are increasing in the northern hemisphere, and the temperature rises rapidly. The warm and humid air from the ocean becomes active and gradually advances northward to meet the cold air, forming rainfall. In rainy season, the weather is changeable, which is one of the seasons with the most cold wave process in the whole year, with cold and hot, warm and cold at first.
The climate intention of rain solar terms means that the probability of rainfall in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River where solar terms originated is higher than that of snowfall. The ancients said: "When the east wind thaws, the ice and snow are scattered into water and turned into rain, hence the name rain". Rainwater solar terms should contain three meanings, one is melting, the other is the increase of total precipitation, and the third is the decrease of snowfall. With the increase of precipitation, the speed of recovery has slowed down. Among the six solar terms in spring, the temperature increase during the rainy period is the smallest. From snow to rain, from freezing to melting is a particularly time-consuming and energy-consuming thing, which is one of the reasons for the lack of recovery during the rainy season.
At this time, although the snowfall began to decrease, it didn’t end. The Yellow River Basin often had snow break during Qingming Festival, and Grain Rain had frost break. Frost and snow may occur in any solar term in spring. An old saying goes, "There will be peach blossom snow in March and plum cream in April." As far as the climate is concerned, the last snow in most areas, that is, the last snow, is from rain to solar terms.
The meaning of rain solar term is also the beginning of rainfall, and the rainfall level is mainly light rain or drizzle. As the saying goes, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil", and suitable precipitation is very important for the growth of crops, which is a reflection of farming culture for festivals. Entering the rain solar term, there is no spring breath in the northern part of China, but most places in the south are full of spring, a scene of early spring.
Generally speaking, the rain solar term means that, first, the weather is getting warmer and the precipitation is gradually increasing; Second, in the form of precipitation, there is less snow and more rain. In the eyes of the ancients, the phenological signs of rain are: waiting for rex to sacrifice fish, waiting for Yanbei to return, and waiting for vegetation to sprout.
Rex sacrifices fish, that is, the east wind thawed, and otters began to fish, eating and showing off in an ostentatious manner on the shore. It puts the fish on the shore, just like displaying offerings for sacrifice, and then eats it, making it look like a ceremony.
When the geese return to the north, it means that the geese fly north. The river opened in beginning of spring, and the geese came when it rained. It’s a wild goose, not a swallow. The ancients said that the first stage of the vernal equinox was the arrival of a mysterious bird, that is, the arrival of a swallow. Therefore, "deja vu Yan returns" is in the vernal equinox, not in the rain. Roughly speaking, Xiaoyan goes from spring to autumn, and geese come in winter and go in summer. They are called migratory birds because they are phenological phenomena.
The vegetation germinates, that is, the vegetation begins to sprout. Now we often say, "What happened?" This "occurrence" used to be a special word to describe spring. Erya said: "Winter is peaceful, and spring is happening." Occurrence originally refers to germination and growth. However, in rainy season, the grass color is often far away, but there is nothing. If there is anything, maybe this is the "most benefit of spring" in the eyes of the world. In the south, the rain solar term is called "the season of ploughing", which means that spring ploughing can be carried out one after another.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, how can this bowl of Lantern Festival be nutritious and healthy？

On the fifteenth day of the first month, people’s unique memories of the Lantern Festival, such as enjoying the moon, burning lanterns, setting off flames, solve riddles on the lanterns and eating Yuanxiao, have continued from ancient times to the present. At this moment, whether you are reunited with your relatives in your hometown or you are working hard outside, are you ready to celebrate the Lantern Festival?
Why do you eat Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first month?
On the evening of the fifteenth day of the first month, it is the most ceremonial moment for the whole family to sit around a table and taste the Yuanxiao/Tangyuan that has just been cooked. In fact, the custom of eating Yuanxiao/Tangyuan on the fifteenth day of the first month was first recorded in the Song Dynasty. At that time, Yuanxiao was called "Floating Yuanzi" and later called "Yuanxiao". Yuanxiao symbolizes family reunion, and eating Yuanxiao means family happiness and all the best in the new year.
What’s the difference between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan?
Yuanxiao is rolled in the north and glutinous rice balls are wrapped in the south. The wrapped dumplings are called dumplings, which are more common in the southern region centered on Jiangsu and Zhejiang; Yuanxiao, which is made by shaking, is more common in the northern region centered on Beijing.
What are the tastes of Yuanxiao?
Traditional Yuanxiao is usually filled with white sugar, rose, sesame, red bean paste, yellow cinnamon, walnut kernel, five kernels and jujube paste. Nowadays, with the diversification of diet and the emergence of new consumer demand, Yuanxiao supplied in the market is richer in stuffing, taste and eating method. In addition to chocolate and hawthorn, there are innovative flavors such as rose, fresh durian, peanut calcium milk, and even a new way to eat fried bean noodles wrapped in Yuanxiao.
How to buy Yuanxiao food?
Facing the dazzling array of Yuanxiao products in the market, how should consumers choose and eat them scientifically? Chinese institute of food science and technology once made the following consumption tips.
1, the label information should be complete "9+" elements are indispensable.
Consumers should buy Yuanxiao in supermarkets and other regular food sales places or channels, and carefully check whether the food labels on the packages are complete. According to the requirements of relevant national standards, prepackaged foods labels provided directly to consumers should include nine items such as food name, ingredient list, net content and specifications, name, address and contact information of producers and/or distributors, production date and shelf life, storage conditions, food production license number, product standard code, and other contents that need to be marked. Don’t buy or eat Lantern Festival without labels or labels with incomplete information and unclear contents, and cover up, reprint or tamper with the labels.
2. Pay attention to sensitization information in the order of ingredients, and don’t miss it.
According to the requirements of relevant national food safety standards, any substances (including food additives) used in food manufacturing or processing and existing in products need to be marked one by one in the food ingredient list. The ingredients added in an amount of more than 2% shall be arranged from high to low when making or processing food. Therefore, when consumers buy Yuanxiao, they can check the ingredients list first, and then decide which product to buy.
If the ingredients contain food and its products that may cause allergies, such as gluten-containing grains and their products, peanuts and their products, manufacturers will generally use recognizable names in the ingredient list or give a prompt in the vicinity of the ingredient list; The above-mentioned food or its products may be brought in during the processing, and it is also appropriate to prompt them near the ingredient list. Therefore, allergic people should pay attention to carefully check the ingredient list when choosing or eating Yuanxiao, and whether there is any prompt information near the ingredient list.
3. Look carefully at the instructions for storage and cooking on the two dates.
The production date and shelf life on the product label should be highlighted. When buying Yuanxiao, it is recommended to buy products with stable quality within the shelf life, not products that have passed the shelf life.
According to the regulatory requirements, the storage conditions are marked on the labels in prepackaged foods. For example, the quick-frozen Yuanxiao is generally required to be stored at -18℃. No matter when purchasing products or after purchasing, the products should be stored under the storage conditions marked on the label.
In addition, usually on the packaging label of Yuanxiao, manufacturers will generally give reasonable cooking suggestions, which consumers can refer to to to get the best taste.
4. It is more appropriate to read the nutrition label carefully and refer to the purchase.
According to the requirements of relevant national standards, nutrition labels will also be provided on the Lantern Festival labels. Nutrition labels mainly include: table of nutrients, nutrition claim to explain the level of nutrients and nutrition function claim to explain the health function. Among them, the nutrient composition table should indicate the contents of at least five elements (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate and sodium) and their percentages in nutrient reference values (NRV). Consumers can choose to eat according to nutrient reference values and their own situation.
How to eat delicious Yuanxiao healthily?
Mou Ying, MD, a nutritionist at the 302nd Hospital of the People’s Liberation Army, reminded everyone that Yuanxiao is a high-calorie and high-sugar food, and it also contains oil. Therefore, eating Yuanxiao must reduce the number of staple foods accordingly. If you eat too much, it will easily increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and cause discomfort such as bloating and heartburn. At the same time, avoid frying, which will make Yuanxiao more calorie. When eating Yuanxiao, you can match some foods that are helpful for digestion, such as celery, hawthorn, barley wort, dried tangerine peel, raw radish, etc. Raw radish contains crude fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and reduce the absorption of oil.
Pay attention to eating Yuanxiao. To sum up, there are several principles to follow when eating Yuanxiao healthily: breakfast is not suitable for eating; One or two per meal is enough; Drink some original soup to promote digestion; Do not eat hot; You can’t stutter; Do not fry and eat; Can be eaten with hawthorn, dried tangerine peel and raw radish; Try to eat it all at once, and the rest should be frozen for a long time.
Which people should not eat Yuanxiao?
Old people and children should eat under supervision. Yuanxiao is made of glutinous rice. When glutinous rice is made into porridge, it is very suitable for the elderly, but when it is made into Yuanxiao, glutinous rice balls and rice cakes, it is not easy to digest. Older people generally do not exceed one or two (4-5 capsules) per meal. Children should try to choose small grains when eating Yuanxiao, and don’t swallow them in one gulp, so as not to burn the esophagus or choke. Hot glutinous rice balls have just come out of the pot, and the temperature is very high, especially when they are filled with high-fat stuffing. If you swallow them in one gulp, it is easy to burn your esophagus. Don’t talk or distract your attention when eating Yuanxiao, so as not to swallow Yuanxiao into the airway by mistake.
People with gastrointestinal and digestive diseases should eat in moderation. Under normal circumstances, it is advisable for normal adults to eat Yuanxiao every meal with 2 Liang (8-10 capsules). But for people with gastrointestinal diseases or weak digestive function, Yuanxiao should be eaten less. Glutinous rice contains more amylopectin, which is sticky and difficult to digest, which will increase gastric peristalsis. Therefore, patients with digestive system diseases should be careful to eat it. If you need to cook Yuanxiao for a while, make it as soft as possible.
People with diabetes should avoid eating. Patients with diabetes should avoid eating items containing sugar as much as possible in their diet. Sweet Yuanxiao is needless to say, and salty Yuanxiao is also avoided as much as possible. Yuanxiao skin is made of glutinous rice flour, which contains a lot of starch, which belongs to polysaccharide; Although the stuffing is salty, it contains oil. Therefore, to be on the safe side, it is recommended that diabetics should not eat Yuanxiao. If you want to feel the festive atmosphere, you should try to eat it with meals. Eating Yuanxiao on an empty stomach will stimulate insulin secretion and cause blood sugar instability in the body. Eating after meals will lead to excessive total calories, and eating Yuanxiao with meals can avoid these two situations. When eating Yuanxiao, the rice intake can be appropriately reduced. Generally speaking, the glutinous rice flour used in three Yuanxiao is equivalent to about 1 liang (half bowl) of rice, so eating three Yuanxiao can halve the bowl of rice.
People with asthma should not eat five kernels stuffing. Peanut is one of the main ingredients in the five-kernel-filled Yuanxiao, and some allergic asthma patients may be allergic to peanuts, which is easy to induce asthma, so we must pay special attention before buying and eating.
People with liver cirrhosis should eat carefully. Because most people with liver cirrhosis will be accompanied by varicose veins of different degrees, Yuanxiao is not easy to digest, especially fried Yuanxiao, which is more likely to induce varicose blood vessels to rupture and cause massive bleeding in the digestive tract, leading to life-threatening, so patients with liver cirrhosis should not eat Yuanxiao.
Lantern and solve riddles on the lanterns are more fun.
Lantern Festival is also called Shangyuan Festival, Spring Lantern Festival and Yuanxi. The fifteenth day of the first month is the first full moon night in a year. Besides eating Yuanxiao, there are also folk customs such as hanging lanterns, lighting lanterns and watching lanterns.
Solve riddles on the lanterns is a word game derived from Lantern Festival, also called Lantern Tiger. Putting riddles on lanterns for people to guess has formed a unique folk culture. This year, People’s Daily specially prepared a health popular science lantern riddle for everyone, sending happiness as well as health wishes to everyone.

A new fruit was born! Scientists in China have crossed two fruits to produce new offspring … What’s that smell？

Longan × litchi =?

According to the micro-signal of South China Agricultural University on August 25th, the team of Professor Liu Cheng Ming from South China Agricultural University bred the world’s first new interspecific hybrid variety of longan and litchi-"Crispy Honey".

"This is the first new hybrid variety of longan and litchi in the world, which is of groundbreaking significance."

According to Liu Chengming, head of the breeding team and professor of Horticulture College of South China Agricultural University, "Crispy Honey" was developed in 15 years, and Shijie Longan and Ziniangxi Litchi were selected as hybrid objects.

"’Crispy Honey’ was originally called’ Shizi Crispy Honey’. It is a new variety bred by interspecific cross breeding with Shijie longan as female parent and Ziniangxi litchi as male parent." Liu Chengming introduced.

This variety has some advantages of Shek Kip Longan and Ziniangxi Litchi. Its flesh is tender and crisp, completely residue-free, and its sugar content is as high as 20-24%. "Crispy and honey well summarize its characteristics." Liu Cheng said.

Is crisp honey litchi or longan?

According to the release from Conghua, Guangzhou, recently, the reporter saw the true face of "Crispy Honey" at the on-site observation and tasting meeting of the late-maturing high-quality inter-species hybrid variety "Crispy Honey (SZ52)" held at the planting base of "Crispy Honey" in Shuixi Village, Aotou Town.

So, is this hybrid litchi or longan?

Liu Chengming, the head of the breeding team and a professor at the School of Horticulture, South China Agricultural University, explained that in fact, "Crispy Honey" is still a longan variety, but its flesh is tender, which is similar to that of litchi. In addition, the cracked skin of "Crispy Honey" is obvious and has a knot in one’s heart shape, which is also a unique feature of litchi.

Liu Chengming said that in the 1990s, there was a hot field in fruit tree breeding, that is, the technology of inducing protoplasts of different species, genera and even families to fuse by artificial methods, and then culturing them in vitro to regenerate hybrid plants.

Image source: South China Agricultural University micro-signal screenshot

At that time, many scientific research teams were doing related work, and Liu Chengming also planned to explore litchi and longan, but the results never came out. So he decided to change his mind and do sexual hybridization between the two genera. Through constant experiments, he tried hard to find the technical means to obtain hybrid seeds. With a success rate of only a few thousandths, it finally succeeded.

Its fruit is nearly round, the peel is yellow-green, and the fruit is large, with an average single fruit weight of 11.5 g. However, its flesh is thick and waxy yellow, with an edible rate of 70.8% and a sugar content as high as 20-24%. It tastes tender and crisp, has no residue at all, and has a sweet and juicy flavor and aroma.

What are the advantages of crisp honey?

According to experts, "Crispy Honey" can make the longan producing area move northward, expand the producing area and lengthen the production period because of its late maturity and cold resistance, and Guangdong longan can also be eaten in the Mid-Autumn Festival in the future.

"It has been 15 years since artificial sexual hybridization in 2007, and this process is really not easy." Liu Cheng said that the "crisp honey" cultivated now has many advantages.

First of all, the maturity of "Crispy Honey" is 15~20 days later than that of Shijie Longan, which can stagger the centralized listing time.

Image source: South China Agricultural University micro-signal screenshot

Secondly, the "crisp honey" branches have strong growth ability and the trees are strong. Shuixi Orchard began to graft "Crispy Honey" in March 2020 and began to bear fruit in 2021, which is related to the growth characteristics of "Crispy Honey". According to reports, a compound leaf of "Crispy Honey" has 7 pairs of leaflets (5 pairs of longan in Shek Kip and only 3 pairs of litchi), which are very large, with a large total leaf area and high efficiency of light energy utilization. Therefore, the pregnant spikes and fruit spikes are also large, which is easy to achieve the goal of high and stable yield.

Another important feature of "crisp honey" is that it is more resistant to low temperature and strong cold resistance. In January, 2021, Chaozhou experienced a low temperature of-3 ~-4℃. In the same area, the branches of Shijie longan were severely frozen, and the leaves were dry, yellow and curly, and the degree of freezing damage reached Grade 4, but the leaves of "Crispy Honey" were only slightly damaged, and the degree of freezing damage was only Grade 1. Therefore, in Liu Jiaoshou’s view, Conghua, located in the north of Guangzhou, has a good prospect in popularizing this variety.

In March, 2020, the first trial "crab" was made in Shuixi Village, Aotou Town, Conghua, and the "brittle honey" was grafted, and the fruit was borne in August, 2021.

At present, the base has just entered the mature stage, and the picking period can last until mid-September, which obviously prolongs the fresh fruit supply period of longan. This year is the second year of fruiting, and the output is expected to be 4000~5000 kg, mainly for customized sales. At present, all the "crisp honey" of the base has been booked out. At present, "Crispy Honey" has performed well in Chaozhou, Zhanjiang, Conghua, Qingyuan Lianzhou, Luzhou, Sichuan and Yongchuan, Chongqing. A few days ago, it just passed the on-site identification of new varieties in Guangdong Province.

Lantern Festival written by Wang Zengqi

The beautiful scenery of the Spring Festival is full of red lights. Feng Zikai
Someone labeled Mr. Wang Zengqi as a local writer, and he was unwilling to accept it; Some people say that he is a genre painter, so he is very happy and admits that it seems to be the case. He said that he likes to read genre paintings and books about customs, and said, "I am interested in customs because I think it is beautiful. ….. customs reflect a nation’s love for life and its joy in being alive. "
In his works, all kinds of customs are too thick to melt away. Sometimes I feel that he is not writing novels or people, but writing customs (such as Three Sisters Married). Those old-time street customs, seven lines and eight works of daily life, etc., all come out of his words, with the breath of the traditional farming era, slow, distant and subtle … as if that familiar old song left behind by the times, it makes people sweet and sad. With the arrival of the tide of modernization, there is no trace of "wild" in some industries and customs, so we can only seek the world of words. This is also the meaning of Wang Zengqi.
In Wang Zengqi’s view, customs mainly refer to ceremonies and festivals. Lantern Festival, as an important folk festival of China people, is also a continuation of the Lunar New Year, and it is natural that it appears in his works of various colors in different periods. What’s more, he was born on March 5, 1920, which happened to be the Lunar Lantern Festival. With such a reason, he seems to be more willing to express his feelings and express his feelings.
The article Yuanxiao in my hometown was written on February 12, 1993, just five or six days after the Lantern Festival. In his article, he recalled that the Lantern Festival in his hometown was quiet in the daytime, and Kirin was sent occasionally or in years-he was deeply impressed by the song that sent Kirin: "Let’s blow it up, let’s blow it up, let’s send it to your home …", and there were sugar blowers and dough kneaders in the alley mouth, or we went to the heaven and earth altar to watch people pull "Tian Om Zi" and went to Taishan Temple to watch the old mother burn incense. The day is almost over. Then he changed his pen: "But the Lantern Festival won’t count until the evening when the lights are on." Then write the lights-this is also the highlight of the article: "The lights in all the rooms are lit. Aunt, there are four square glass lamps in the room. In the second mother’s room, there is a glass lamp with a red birthday and a bead lamp. My stepmother ordered red glazed bulbs in her room. A room full of lights, bright and gentle, looks very auspicious. " He also wrote to go to the streets to see the lanterns-the lanterns of various families; Children have their own lanterns-rabbit lanterns, hydrangea lanterns, lantern lanterns, and small children have watermelon lanterns, frog lanterns, and fish lanterns … They also wrote a custom that is not found in other places: watching the screen; Write that there is a red lantern in the sky: "Bamboo sticks are bones, covered with red paper, a rectangular tube with candles lit inside and put in the sky." Lanterns are very easy to put. You don’t even need a brain thread. You can fly by tying a thread on one corner. Lanterns are fluttering slightly in the sky. I don’t know why, but it makes people feel a little thin and desolate. "
The ending is like this: "After the New Year, all the shops will be’ wide open’ on the 16th tomorrow. In our place, shops are closed from the first day to the fifth day. On the sixth day of the sixth day, two rows of doors are opened to sell something necessary for the citizens, which is called’ small opening the door’. 16. Remove all the rows of doors, put a whip and some firecrackers. It’s called’ open the door’ and starts normal business. Years, so it passed. "
It’s a lingering sound, and it won’t stop for three days. Like his teacher, Mr. Shen Congwen, Mr. Wang is good at ending.
In the autobiographical essay "My Father", he writes about his father’s skillful hands, always living with great interest and making all kinds of things. "On the Lantern Festival, he used medulla tetrapanacis as the petal, dyed the depth with western red painting peony, made a lotus lamp, lit a candle, and it was more beautiful than real flowers. He dyed cicada’s wing paper light green, and made a spinning maiden lamp with iron wire as the bone, and put a fine bamboo stick under it. My sister and I mentioned it, holding these two lamps to the streets and visiting our neighbors’ houses, and many people gathered around to watch. " What a rich and memorable childhood! Wang Zengqi once said emotionally: "My childhood was beautiful."
Reading Wang Wen, we can see that when he was a child, he wandered around freely, and the relaxed family and educational environment was amazing. The reason why he became the later Wang Zengqi is inseparable from his childhood experience. If you don’t indulge in this when you are young, and you don’t have years of infiltration and exposure, how can you have these vivid words later!
His skills are "hidden" in his body, and he "shines" in different genres of works from time to time. Just mention the ones related to the Lantern Festival:
He wrote about the wheelwright: making gyroscopes and empty clocks for children in autumn. In summer, make a water gun. Spring, bamboo dragonfly. "Chinese New Year paste rabbit lamp, we go to buy wheels. The wheelwright watched a rabbit lantern being pulled from the street. In the street where there was a little ice, firecrackers smelled yellow and the shadows were heavy in the soft light of paper lamps amid the sound of gongs and drums. ….. "("The Rider "in 1947)
Miscellaneous Notes on Hometown Li San (1981): Li San is a temple blessing, and he usually has nothing to do. "During the Chinese New Year, find two’ lamp pairs’ and hang them on both sides of the temple gate. The lamp pair is a rectangular paper lamp, with a wooden frame nailed inside and white paper pasted outside, with the words "Good weather" on one side and "Peace for the country and the people" on the other. There is a horizontal partition in the lamp pair, so you can light candles. From the first day of the first month to the Lantern Festival. For more than half a month, the front of the land temple was bright and festive. "
The beginning of the novel Bead Lamp (1981):
The custom here is that the second year after a rich lady gets married, her family will send a lamp. The purpose of sending lanterns is to pray for many children. A few days before the Lantern Festival, you can often see teams delivering lanterns in the street. Several female servants, wearing clean clothes, with their hair combed bare, wearing double happiness red velvet flowers, each carrying a lamp; There are several trumpeters playing fine music in front. Far away, I heard the flute that sent the lights, and many people’s doors opened. The girl and daughter-in-law came out, leaned against the door and looked, pointing and commenting quietly. This is also the Lantern Festival scene of the year.
There are usually six lights in a hall. Four smaller ones, mostly dyed red or white, and painted with red flowers. One is a unicorn to send a child: a doll made of dyed glass horns rides on a unicorn. There is also a bead lamp: a big palace lantern made of green glass beads. The lamp body is made of eight glasses, painted with red characters of each body’s birthday, and the rest are beads. The phoenix head with eight beads protrudes from the top cover, and the phoenix has a small banner with beads in its mouth, and the tassels of the beads are embroidered under it. The weight of this lamp is quite heavy. When it is delivered, two people have to carry it with a pole. This is a main lamp, hanging in the middle of the room. Next to the Kirin Songzi, glazed bulbs are hung in the four corners.
On the night of the "Lantern Festival", red candles were inserted in these lamps and lit. From thirteen "lights on" to eighteen "lights off", several nights were lit in succession. Usually these lights are not lit.
When the lights are lit in the room, the atmosphere is very different. These lights are not very bright (the purpose of lighting is not for lighting), but they are very soft. Especially the bead lamp, shed a light green light. In the green light, the shadow of Zhufan is swaying gently, like a dream and water, which is extremely quiet. The lights of the Lantern Festival spread auspicious, happy and vague hopes.
At this beginning, knowledge, interest, atmosphere and foreshadowing are all available. Is it an idle pen?
Wang Zengqi also used birthdays and Lantern Festival to express his feelings. On his sixtieth birthday, he wrote a poem:
Frozen clouds want to wet the lantern,
The willow in chun yin is not green.
Walk along the road beside Yuyuantan,
Last year, the leaves were too clear.
On his seventieth birthday, he also wrote a poem-"seventy books are conceived and the law is not changed"
You’re 70 years old, drinking too much,
Only feel that climbing is late.
Painting and calligraphy are more than Su Mo,
The article faintly recalls childhood.
Write book reviews and preface,
Don’t be a teacher if you don’t open the atmosphere.
If I have been idle for ten years,
I don’t know how many poems I have left.
It is not difficult to read from the two poems that after ten years, the times, the situation and the mood have changed.
In Seventy Books, he recalled the Lantern Festival when he was a child: "With the light of the Lantern Festival, my birthday will never be forgotten. But when I was a child, I didn’t have a birthday. On that day, I always fiddled with a big rabbit lamp with four wheels under it. At night, I took a homemade rabbit lamp with candles in it, and I ran around the halls and aisles at home, sometimes taking it to familiar shops to visit. "
The Lantern Festival written by Wang Zengqi is beautiful and touching, and it often reminds me of the current children’s education. These articles can actually be used as examples of aesthetic education. Those who are engaged in education and parents should read Wang Zengqi well.

Literature after 00 ｜ Silent Watch (Novel)

Widowed (dialect, widowed is dumb), this is what the villagers call him. He is a poor old man, an old man who was dumb because he had a fever and took too much bezoar in his childhood, and an old man who only had three or five sheep. Widowed ancestor is what I call him, because he is two generations older than me.
I vaguely remember that I met my widowed ancestors several times during the summer vacation in primary school. I have never forgotten this scene.
When the morning sun climbs to the blue tile on the roof along the earth wall, the sheep are also waiting for their owner, the widowed bodhi old zu. Although it is hot, he always wears a Lei Feng hat that has been blackened by smoke, a black double-breasted cotton coat, a pot helmet in his arms that can never be eaten, and a kettle, leading the sheep to wander along the winding path in the field, hanging on the sheep’s neck all the way. No one knows his age, but everyone knows that his legs and feet are still vigorous, and he walks agile and steady on the almost vertical loess road mixed with gravel, just like the sheep behind him. His destination is the top of the mountain. Because the mountainside is mostly farmland, a yellow mud road is inserted horizontally, and there are still several paths lengthwise, but they are all covered by tall corn stalks. Widowed ancestors can only drive the sheep through this "forbidden land" as soon as possible-destroying crops will lose the "pass" of this land. I finally walked through the fields, and the sun really came out. At this time, the sheep can indulge in grazing, and the widowed ancestor will lean against the shade or chew the helmet with white water or take a nap.
I claim to be a "wild child", and several hills near my home are my playgrounds, so it is inevitable to meet him. When I saw those sheep grazing leisurely, I knew that my widowed bodhi old zu was nearby, but he always seemed to predict my arrival in advance. As soon as I saw it, I wanted to keep me by shouting, with my mouth wide open and my Adam’s apple wriggling sharply, and waved my arms to beckon me over. Then I used his hands as rough as an old walnut shell to hold a full "mountain products"-sweet and sour Schisandra chinensis.
The widowed ancestor is enthusiastic and diligent, and he works hard in the village, whether it’s weddings, funerals, or the anniversary of the burial. He swung his axe like the wind, and every time he fell, he split the firewood properly, and the sawdust scattered. Then, he turned to the triviality of boiling water and shochu; He added fuel to the fire, adjusted the fire, sometimes bowed his head and blew air to make the flames dance, and sometimes gently stirred the soju in the pot, making the water waves slightly overflow, and the fragrance of wine gradually diffused in this leisurely action; With the progress of the banquet, I saw the widowed bodhi old zu holding the tray firmly in his left hand and the dishes lightly in his right hand, with steady steps like flowing water, shuttling between the fire and the guests, and silently conveying his blessings and respect every time he bowed his head and smiled. The figure of the widowed ancestor, shuttling between the boiling of the villagers, is particularly diligent. In the last round of the banquet, he ate with the people who helped cook for his family, mostly the women in the village. A woman often jokes: "Seeing a widowed child is diligent, capable and able to eat. If you find a woman, you should be happy!" When he said this, he gave all the meat on the table to the widowed bodhi old zu. "Just eat, you are afraid that you can’t eat meat a few times a year!" Shame that he turned straight behind, repeatedly motioning with his hand, "ahhh ….." That’s enough.
During the three years since I finished junior high school, the life of my widowed ancestors seems to be so day after day, year after year. Or maybe I studied in the town and went back to my hometown less often and didn’t notice it. Until the spring of the second year of high school, I didn’t hear the long bell ringing on the sheep’s neck in the early morning of my hometown, only the sound of "praising and praising" with a hoe was endless. Later, I learned from my mother that the widowed ancestor had already sold all his sheep. I asked my mother why, and only then did I know that my widowed ancestor was accidentally caught in a wild boar when he was herding sheep in the mountains in the summer years ago. Fortunately, he was found by the villagers in time and was sent to the hospital at the first time without leaving his disability. Although he is not disabled, he can only walk on crutches, and he can’t herd sheep. With the money earned by selling sheep, plus the subsidies for the disabled and the five guarantees, it is said that the widowed ancestors should live a few days at leisure, at least until the injury is almost healed. But he couldn’t spare time, so he opened another piece of land to grow wheat at the vegetable field in front of his house. I walked on crutches, carried benches and hoes to hoe the ground, and when I was tired, I sat down and dug. This is what I witnessed with my own eyes.
Unconsciously, the wheat seedlings have grown to the knee height, and all the trees are full of green, swaying in the wind. Perhaps the widowed ancestor knew that they were growing sturdily, so he did not have to work hard in the fields, and the sound of "boasting and boasting" became more and more sparse, just like those weeds he had dug up; But it’s getting more and more boring, like cicadas in the hot summer.
Until the widowed ancestor did not greet his harvest in the wheat field, until the villagers learned that he had died on his couch for many days.
This wheat field without its owner is still full of vitality.
Wheat seedlings bear the brunt of the wind and rain, bearing ears of wheat, and finally spreading seeds on the land where they were born with the wind.

　　Since that night, everything has awakened and flowers have blossomed.

　　The moon moves to the west, and that lantern is the street lamp that returns to the earth in spring.
