Kangxi and Changchun Garden

Portrait of Emperor Kangxi

  Since February 22nd, 26th year of Kangxi (April 3rd, 1687), Emperor Xuanye of Kangxi lived in Changchun Garden for the first time, he loved this beautiful imperial garden very much. I came to the park for 44 days that year. According to the statistics of relevant scholars, Xuanye has lived in Changchun Garden every year since then, with the least year being the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi (1696) and 29 days. The most is the forty-seven years of Kangxi, which lasted for 202 days. Most of him came to the suburban garden after handling the important ceremonial banquet in the first half of the first month, and he lived in Changchun Garden eight times on the second day of the first month. Usually, I have to stay in November or even late December before I leave the park and return to the palace. Among them, I left the park for eight times from the 25th to 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Of course, quite a lot of time was spent visiting Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the south, paying homage to the ancestral tombs in the east, visiting Wutai in the west and the paddock in the north, and not all of them lived in Dianyuan. Xuanye’s birthday is March 18th, and he spent the Wanshou Festival in Changchun Garden for 24 times. Until he died of illness in Qingxi Bookstore in Changchun Garden, he lived in Changchun Garden for 257 times in 36 years, totaling more than 3,870 days.

  The main content of Xuanye’s life in Changchun Garden is to avoid noise and listen to politics, to support himself and enjoy the scenery in summer. In addition, there are festivals to celebrate, banquets to give food, trees to spread the world, and parents to teach children.

  Avoid noise and listen to politics

  Daily government affairs include selecting officials, introducing people, reading and approving books, summoning ministers, and discussing orders. During his stay in Chang Chun Garden, Emperor Kangxi spent almost every day in Lian Ning’s residence listening to political directors and handling all kinds of government affairs. For example, Emperor Kangxi was stationed in Changchunyuan for the first time in the 26th year of Kangxi, and he went to the inner gate of Changchunyuan three times in nine days, that is, he took charge of the government inside and outside the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Events. Another example is: Around 30 to 36 years of Kangxi, many political affairs of personal expedition to Junggar were agreed in Changchun Garden. Another example is: I lived in the Imperial Garden for thirteen days from the first day to the thirteenth day of December in the fifty-fourth year of Kangxi (1715), and lived in the court for six days, and handled dozens of matters that needed to be decided. On the first day of junior high school, nine urgent problems were solved in succession. The last one is about Cao Yin and Li Xu’s debt to silver.

  And meet foreign envoys. For example, in the forty-fourth year of Emperor Kangxi (1705), Emperor Kangxi received the special envoy of the Holy See, Dorothy, in Changchun Garden, without kneeling and giving him a seat. He also ordered people to take gifts from the imperial court and go to Rome to answer for employment. On the Mid-Autumn Festival the following year, Kangxi called the Roman special envoy Doro into the garden to give food and watch the lights. Please invite Doro to visit Changchun Garden in five months. Another example is: In the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi (1720), the envoy of the Western countries (Portugal) Pei Lali came to the DPRK, and Xuanye received and gave tea in the Hall of the Nine Classics and Three Events. Another example is: In the month of December 59, Kangxi received Karoku, the special envoy of the Holy See, eight times in Qingxi Bookstore in Changchun Garden, and received gifts from the Pope and presented gifts to the Pope and the Portuguese king. In the meantime, Karoku was also given a sable gown, snuff bottle, sable crown, blue robe, enamel bowl and other things and given a banquet.

  And watch martial arts. Since the forty-fifth year of Kangxi (1706), Emperor Kangxi has been able to watch the martial arts players riding and shooting in the West Factory in Changchun Garden in October or November. Sometimes, a ceremony of biography is held in the park, and the first place of Jinshi, such as Wu Zhuangyuan, is promulgated. For example, in the fifty-fourth year of Kangxi (1715), from November 13th to 16th, Emperor Kangxi came to Changchunyuan West Factory to read the martial arts. Leading the guards’ ministers, reading officials, university students’ loose columns, etc., arranged in a row, and the emperor rose to sit down. Before the assistant minister of the Ministry of War Jue and others entered, 170 people, including Xu Slow, who played martial arts, were divided into 11 classes to test their riding and shooting. The emperor ordered the ministers to sit down. So read Xu Shu and others, ride and shoot in turn, and remember the best. After reading the test, the emperor ordered the princes to ride and shoot. The next day, I continued to read and try to shoot with steps, pull hard work, dance knives and throw stones. On the third day, we continued to test fire in the West Factory. Select 15 best candidates from the martial arts and repeat them, and divide them into different grades. Ministers will select the top three of the 15 people as A, the other 12 as Dimethyl and the rest as Top Three, and present the papers of 15 people.

  study science

  During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was the first climax of cultural exchanges between China and the West, also known as the first spread of Western learning to the East. During this period, Emperor Kangxi came into contact with some missionaries who were familiar with western science and technology, and he began to have a strong interest in western science and technology. Bai Jin, a French Jesuit, recalled in his book: "Kangxi studied western science with great interest, spending several hours with us every day, and spending more time on self-study during the day and night." At this time, Emperor Kangxi had dimly realized the importance of natural science. In order to cultivate talents specializing in astronomical observation and natural science and compile large-scale scientific and technological works, he set up a Mongolian-supported vegetarian and mathematical museum in Changchun Garden. This was called "Royal Academy of Sciences" by French missionaries.

  Emperor Kangxi studied very hard and had a wide range of knowledge. He dabbled in human geography, calendar, arithmetic, hundred schools of thought, medicine, natural science, Buddhism, Confucian classics and Taoist books, and was a generalist. There are three sources of knowledge in Kangxi: First, Manchu culture. As the emperor of Manchu, learning the culture of his own nation is a basic accomplishment. Kangxi followed the Manchu master to speak Manchu, learn Manchu and practice riding and shooting. The second is the Han culture. As a minority ruler who entered the Central Plains, in order to gain the recognition of the Han people, Kangxi studied Confucian classics with the Han master, read a lot of historical books, became familiar with the Confucian "study of emperors" and was influenced by Confucian culture. The third is western technology. European Catholic Jesuits came to China to preach, bringing advanced western science, technology and knowledge. Emperor Kangxi, with an open mind, invited Zhang Cheng, Bai Jin and others to Changchun Garden many times to teach western science: mathematics, astronomy, engineering, surveying, medicine and even human anatomy. For example, on the eighth day of March in the 28th year of Kangxi (1689), Emperor Kangxi called Zhang Cheng, a French missionary, to teach geometry at Qingxi Bookstore in Changchun Garden. Looking for Zhang Chengfu to teach in the park many times.

  The establishment time of Mengyangzhai Mathematics Museum was the second day of June in the fifty-second year of Kangxi (1713). It is clearly recorded in Records of the Holy Father of Qing Dynasty that in June, Ding Chou "ordered Prince Yin Zhi of Shuocheng to set up a museum in the palace". However, the research scope of Meng Yangzhai is not limited to mathematics, but also calendar and music. In September of the fifty-second year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi issued another decree: "Yu and Prince Yin Zhi of Shuocheng, etc., compiled books on the algorithm of Lu and Lv, wrote a library in Mengyangzhai, and tested the musical instruments in the temple and palace." In October of the 58th year of Kangxi (1719), Wang Lansheng, a juren from Mengyangzhai, was ordered to write "Positive Rhyme".

  Mengyangzhai Mathematics Museum has translated more than a dozen Manchu-Chinese mathematics books, such as Geometry Original, Proportion Solution, Usage of Measuring High Instruments, Eight-line Table Roots, Method of Pythagorean Seeking, Excerpt of Borrowing Roots Algorithm, Record of Western Mirrors, etc., and has also completed works such as The Origin of Laws and Calendars, and trained a number of people such as Mei Juecheng, Minggatu and He Guozong. It also promoted the almanac and geographical mapping of the whole country.

  As early as the first day of October in the fifty-first year of Kangxi (1712), Emperor Kangxi "instructed the third son of Emperor Huang and Prince Yin Zhi of Shuocheng, etc.: the height of the North Pole and the distance from Huang Chi are the most important in the calendar, and they should be measured daily after living in Lianning". And immediately got a few princes to play back. In November of the same year, Prince Ying Cheng invited him to send someone to Guangdong, Yunnan, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Henan, Jiangnan and Zhejiang provinces for surveying and mapping.

  Unfortunately, out of the need of rule, Emperor Kangxi only recruited students from the Mongolian Institute of Arithmetic in a small area such as the palace, which was not popularized among the people, and the advanced western science and technology failed to play its due role in the whole country. With the end of the Kangxi Dynasty, the study of Sino-Western communication also ended, and China missed a historical opportunity of innovation in science and technology.

  Editing and editing books

  Kangxi loved not only reading books, but also compiling books. It can be said that the compilation and publication of books is a major feature of Kangxi’s Wen Zhi, and Kangxi paid special attention to China’s traditional culture. When he lived in Jingxi Garden, he presided over or organized the compilation of many series of books, which made great contributions to the construction of Chinese traditional culture.

  Compile the hadith. On the 10th day of August in the 21st year of Kangxi (1682), when Kangxi was stationed in Yuquan Mountain, he approved the invitation of Dai Wangyu, an imperial historian of Fujian Road, to compile the sacred instruction of Emperor Taizong Gao, Emperor Taizong Wen and Emperor Sezuzhang, and thought: "The sacred instruction of Taizu, Taizong and Sezuzhang is of great significance and should be compiled." In the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth years of Kangxi, four volumes of the Hadith of Emperor Taizong Gao, six volumes of the Hadith of Emperor Taizong Wen and six volumes of the Hadith of Emperor Shizuzhang were successively completed.

  Yuanjianzhai is the place where Emperor Kangxi advocated and guided the compilation of vast ancient books in Changchun Garden. Here, Emperor Kangxi ordered Xu Qianxue to compile and annotate Yuan Jian, and organized Zhang Ying, Wang Shi and others to compile a large-scale book, Yuan Jian Lei Han.

  Yuan Jian of Imperial Selection of Ancient Chinese Literature is an anthology of ancient Chinese literature. Among them, there are more than 1300 articles by nearly 800 authors from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Song Dynasty. Each article is printed on the top of the book, and the ministers are attached to it. The capital of each article has Xuanye’s royal approval, and each article has the emperor’s introduction and comments on the article. There is a preface written by Xuanye in front of the book.

  Yuan Jian lei Han is a kind of book that focuses on checking the rhetoric of articles. Zhang Ying, Wang Shi and others further expanded the scope of collection on the basis of the book Tang Lei Han in the Ming Dynasty, making the book more comprehensive and complete in time. The book, with 445 volumes, was published in 1710 by Xuanye himself.

  Peiwenzhai is the hall where Emperor Kangxi collects ancient and modern books and paintings, the painting and calligraphy room where he reads, appreciates paintings and calligraphy, learns books and practices calligraphy, and the workshop where he compiles books and paintings. Based on Peiwenzhai, Emperor Kangxi carried out a large-scale and continuous compilation of poetry, calligraphy and painting. Among them, the books with the title of "Pei Wenzhai" include Selected Poems about Objects of Pei Wenzhai, Prose of Guang Qun of Pei Wenzhai, Prose of Paintings and Calligraphy of Pei Wenzhai and Pei Wenyun House.

  Be nurtured by others

  Kangxi once said: "When I was in the womb, I told the Pope Prince that I was alert to the classics, diligent in raising my life, studying the classics every day, making me recite them, and reuniting with my relatives to explain them. I never stopped asking questions." Wang Shizhen’s "Continuation of Juyi" also records: "When I was in the palace, I taught the four books and five classics for the East Palace. Before I served the imperial gate every day, I had to recite and repeat the books I had given the day before, so that I could get through be adept at." It was not until June, the 26th year of Kangxi (1687) that Xuanye chose three masters for the princes: Shang Shu Da Hata, Tang Bin and Shao Zhan Shi Geng Jie, and obtained the approval and support of the scholars Mingzhu and Wang Xi. Xuanye’s selection of teachers is very strict, which requires both profound knowledge and noble morality. He also selected Brinton, Xiong Cilv, Li Guangdi, Xu Yuanmeng, Gu Eight Dynasties, Fahai and others as the master of the Prince, all of whom lived in Confucianism.

  On the seventh day of June, the 26th year of Kangxi, Xuanye summoned three masters, namely Dahata, Tang Bin and Geng Jie, while the Crown Prince and the Prince were on standby, and the ministers, guards and residence officials were left and right. The emperor issued a decree: "Since ancient times, emperors have always taken pre-education and saving two as the foundation of their country. I am afraid that the Crown Prince will not be knowledgeable, that is, he will not be able to understand the body, but will be diligent in teaching and training since childhood, so as not to make a day of leisure … The Crown Prince never knows anything but reading and playing. ….. You are well-known abroad, and we hereby order you to discipline the East Palace. " Regarding the subjects of study, he said: "I sincerely know the family precepts of my ancestors, and the civil and military affairs are in parallel, and I dare not neglect riding and shooting. Therefore, the crown prince and the prince are taught poetry books, and they are also taught to ride and shoot." Although Tang Bin repeatedly refused to say that he could not shoulder this heavy responsibility, he still failed to change the emperor’s decision.

  From the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the Crown Prince and the princes began to study in Wuyizhai under the guidance of three masters. Degele and Peng Sunqi, officials of Juju Notes, wrote down the learning situation of the princes in Wuyizhai: In the early morning, the Crown Prince and the princes were studying in Wuyizhai, reading several sections and a chapter on the classics. Tang Bin held a book and listened to the Crown Prince recite it without leaving a word. Read a new book again. The crown prince wrote a piece of regular script, about hundreds of words. At dawn, the emperor arrived and rose to the throne. Ask the Juzhu official: How does the prince study? Yes, "the prince is rich in quality and profound in knowledge." Xuanye made a comment: "If you can’t read, you think you can read, you can’t talk, but you think you can talk. If this person is not human." After the emperor returned to the palace, the Crown Prince wrote another piece of regular script. After lunch, the Crown Prince wrote a piece of paper in full, that is, reviewed the Book of Rites and the classics, and read them one hundred and twenty times each. At this time, the emperor came to Wuyizhai again, and the Crown Prince Yun Wan, the eldest son Yun Wan, the third son Yun Zhi, the fourth son Yin Zhen, the fifth son Yun Qi, the seventh son Yun You and the eighth son Yun You? Stand by. The emperor took out ten Yu Ben from the case and handed it to Tang Bin, saying, "You can take it out by hand and let the princes read it." Tang Bin opened the scriptures, and Yun Zhi, Yin Zhen, Yun You, and Yun Yu went in first, and each reading was loud and clear. He also ordered me to explain the chapters of "Knowing the Things" and "The Analects of Confucius", which were word for word and integrated with the righteousness. The emperor ordered Yunqi to read a Manchu article with clear paragraphs and bright sentences. The emperor said: "I must study at the rate of 120 times when I was young. If I don’t cover it like this, I can’t be overwhelmed. Therefore, it is the same for teaching princes and princes to study." He also said,He often erases the words of the Crown Prince, adding few words and never adding circles. The emperor asked the master and the near minister to write, and the handwriting of Tang Bin and Geng Jie was very common. The emperor personally sprinkled Chen Han, and wrote a seven-character poem by Song Rucheng and a piece of paper with the words "Cun Cheng". The beautiful silk characters, vigorous Chinese characters, all have statutes, and all the ministers are full of praise. Later, the emperor led all the scholars to practice archery, and personally pulled the bow and arrow, and all the shots were successful; I also ordered the ministers and guards to learn to shoot. At this time, it was dusk, and the all-day study of the Crown Prince and the princes came to an end. The emperor also went back to Qingxi Bookstore. After such continuous study, the Crown Prince and the princes have a high level of culture and Manchu language and writing, and they are not only familiar with ancient China classics, but also have a high level of painting, calligraphy and riding. Later, the Crown Prince moved to the West Garden to live and study, and the princes also moved to No.4 Lotus Pond in the south of the West Garden.

  Planting rice for rain

  In the Qing dynasty, the rulers attached great importance to agricultural production, which was regarded as the foundation of national stability. Kangxi once planted imperial rice in Changchun Garden and promoted it vigorously. The rulers also paid special attention to the rainfall situation that directly affected agricultural output, and carried out rain-seeking activities in Haidian area.

  As a spring-rich place in the west of Beijing, Haidian has a long tradition of planting rice. In the early years of Kangxi, Prince Dan Zhen, the owner of the garden in tsinghua campus, changed the lotus pond in the garden into a paddy field, and the annual profit could reach hundreds of taels of silver. Kangxi’s earliest activity in the western suburbs was to watch the growth of rice in the west of Beijing. During the construction of Changchun Garden, Emperor Kangxi set aside a paddy field in the west wall of Changchun Garden to test and cultivate excellent rice seeds himself. From Wuyizhai Tushan to the north, until Daximen, located in the northwest of the garden, there are about hundreds of acres of fields, which is the "experimental field" for Kangxi to plant imperial rice. According to "Kangxi’s Collection of Leisure Things", rice seeds are early rice selected and cultivated by Kangxi himself, named "Imperial Rice". It is also called "rouge rice" because its rice awn is lavender, its rice grains are reddish and long, its smell is fragrant and its taste is poor, and it can be cooked twice a year. This is also the originator of "Jingxi Rice" in Haidian District.

  In the fifty-third year of Kangxi (1714), the imperial rice at the foot of Yuquan Mountain grew to 600 mu, plus Liulangzhuang, Wanquanzhuang, Heilongtan, Gaoliangqiao, Shijingshan and Nanyuan, totaling nearly 10,000 mu. The planting range of imperial rice has not only been further expanded, but also the area has increased several times, and it has become the main source of imperial rice in the court. In order to ensure the production of royal rice, in the same year, Fengchenyuan, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, set up a "rice field factory" in Qinglong Bridge to manage royal rice fields.

  There are sixty-four rice paddies, which are government offices, warehouses and mills. At the same time, there are two official places, one in Gongde Temple and the other in Liulangzhuang. "Yongxian Record" said: When Kangxi was in Kangxi, "it served imperial meals, saying that it served imperial rice and went out to the western hills of the capital", and Changping Prefecture produced rice everywhere, but Yuquan Mountain was better than Yuquan Spring, so rice was needed. The "Qing Hui Dian" also records: "The jade grains above are taken from the rice fields of Yuquan Mountain."

  In the later period of Kangxi’s rule, the society was stable and the population began to increase sharply. Kangxi was deeply worried about this population expansion: "Since the unification of the area, in 678 this year, all the people have enjoyed peace, and the fertility has increased day by day. Although the registered permanent residence has increased, the land has not increased. If one person’s property is used by several families, how can he make a living?" The rapid population growth and predatory development have brought great pressure to the surrounding environment of Gyeonggi. The ecological environment has become extremely fragile, and floods and droughts have started to break out frequently. Therefore, in the middle and late period of Kangxi’s rule, emperors were more concerned about sunny and rainy days, and more and more words were found in historical materials. For example, on June 25th, the 45th year of Kangxi (1706), during Emperor Kangxi’s tour to the north, Yin Zhi, the third son of Emperor Huang, invited the emperor to pay his respects, and made a special presentation on the rainy situation in the capital area: "There has been a lot of rain in the capital area, Changchun Garden, Cirja Camp and other places recently. Yu: There is enough rain here. " The feeling of concern is on the paper.

  The belief in praying for rain and sunshine by the dragon gods, which was valued by the rulers of past dynasties, was also maintained in the Kangxi Dynasty. As the most common measure to resist disasters, praying for rain was valued by Emperor Kangxi and included in the national sacrifice code. When Changchun Garden was built, Kangxi built the Longwang Temple in the garden as a special place to pray for rain. In case of drought, Kangxi often sent princes, county kings, Baylor, Beizi and ministers to the Longwang Temple to pray for rain. Each rain praying ceremony is very grand and has established procedures. For example, on May 13th, the forty-ninth year of Emperor Kangxi (1710), Yin Zhi, the third son of the Emperor, and others gave orders: At Longwang Temple in Changchun Garden, pray for rain as the twelve sons of the Emperor prayed for rain.

  The history of rice in the west of Beijing has a long history. According to historical records, Haidian, which is fertile and beautiful, began to build canals to grow rice during the Cao and Wei Dynasties in the Three Kingdoms, and it has a history of more than 1,700 years. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, in the second year of Cao Fangjiaping, the king of Wei Qi, Jing Liu stopped water to build a dam on the Luohe River (now Yongding River) and built a carriage canal. "Irrigation thistle (city) north and south, planting rice in the third night, and benefiting the border people." It was not until Guo Shoujing, a water conservancy scientist in Yuan Dynasty, opened Tonghui River, and sufficient water ensured the growth of rice, that farmers on both sides of the strait began to plant rice on a large scale.

  Kangxi was the emperor who really turned Jingxi rice into "Imperial Rice". Emperor Kangxi skillfully integrated the "pastoral scenery" shown by intensive cultivation into the garden landscape, which not only provided materials for life, but also created the artistic conception of pastoral life, so that garden dwellers could experience the seclusion interest of pro-farming. Emperor Kangxi attached great importance to agriculture, and with his support, the cultivation of rice in western Beijing was further developed. He also personally experimented, compared the rice between the north and the south, and cultivated excellent varieties as royal royal rice, and vigorously promoted planting. Even set up a rice field factory to manage these royal imperial rice.

  Kangxi once experimented with rice on the side of Fengze Garden in Zhongnanhai, Beijing, and sent people to plant a small experimental field under Yuquan Mountain, which was successful and later called "Jingxi Rice". In his poem "Early Imperial Rice", he wrote: "The purple awn is half a hectare of green and shady, and I love the early imperial rice. If you make the prescriptions more widely distributed, you may see the needles twice. " (Lu Qin’s Song of the Dragon-Poems of the Emperors in China) Here he expressed his heartfelt joy after watching the rice fields, and he longed for the rice area to expand constantly and strive to harvest twice a year.

  The whole story is like this: One day in June, when Kangxi was patrolling the rice fields in Fengzeyuan, he came across a rice that was "above the rice" and the grain was ripe. Originally, Yutian rice was planted here, and it will not mature until September of the lunar calendar, but this rice in front of us is two months ahead of schedule, which is beyond Kangxi’s expectation. He used it as a seed to try planting in the next year, and it really matured in June. This early-maturing new rice has reddish color and long grains, and tastes delicious. (See Kangxi’s Faulty Style) Because it was discovered and cultivated by Kangxi himself, it is called Imperial Rice. Later, people called it Jingdao.

  Kangxi’s poem "On the 11th of July when he was watching rice in Changchun Garden" also wrote: "In July, the purple mountain is fragrant with five miles, and the near-garden remains a species of Zhu Zhenxiang. Yan Fang and Saibei are all called Rui, and they are happy and happy. " July in the lunar calendar is equivalent to August in the solar calendar. Seeing the purple awn in the rice field is associated with the fragrance of a grain, which shows that he attaches great importance to rice. People in both the hot places in the south and the colder places in the north of Saibei praised the transplantation of this cereal crop as a good omen. In particular, it is a great wish to plant rice in the northern part of the Great Wall, which has become a reality through hard work.

  According to relevant documents, in the 42nd year of Kangxi, the Qing government built chengde mountain resort, and imperial rice seeds were first transplanted here, which was located in the north of the Great Wall. Generally, rice could not mature after the Millennium, but the imperial rice seeds matured before the Millennium, so the experiment was successful. So it opened a new record of planting rice north of the Great Wall. Kangxi once said: "The rice fields in the villa still have a surplus for summer use every year."

  Kangxi’s cultivation of rice can be said to be affectionate. Therefore, he has a specific description of the whole process of rice breeding, seedling pulling, transplanting, harvesting and ear picking, and all of them have persistent pursuit and deep desire. There is a detailed description in his group poem titled Farming Map:

  The first seedling: "A year’s farming is in the depth of spring, and the family is looking forward to the new year." I love the clear weather, and the green fields are thousands of hectares. " Pulling out the seedlings: "The green onions are full of water, and the transplanting of Xichou is even more furious. The order of the festival is shocking, and the seedlings must be divided into early summer days. " Transplanting: "There are thousands of beds in Shui Ze, and the competition for transplanting new seedlings is afraid of the future. The Asian brigade is happy to work together, and it is not too late to go home in the next month. " Harvesting: "Huang Yun is full of dew, and the waist sickle is blessed with rice. Children collect the ears everywhere, and every family in the village bears the burden. " Holding the ear: "Nanmu Qiu Lai celebrates Fucheng, but Qu Qu has not released the old peasants’ feelings. The frost rises from the neighborhood and listens to the sound of rice in the village. "

  Here is a series of scenes of farmers growing rice, with vivid language. Early seedling, describing farmers’ hard work in order to seize the farming season, "green fields are thousands of hectares", the scene is huge and quite imposing. Pull out the seedlings and describe the busy scene of rice transplanting. The paddy fields are full of thick green, showing a vibrant scene. Transplanting rice seedlings describes the scene of "Yalv" (small officials and village officials) working with farmers in the vast farmland, and the moon rises before returning home without complaint. The purpose of this hard work in Dai Yue is to get a good harvest. Harvesting depicts reaping with sickle, young and old doing their best, children picking up the ears of rice skillfully, and farmers returning with great strength, which sets off a jubilant atmosphere after a bumper harvest. Holding the ear outlines the scene of rice harvesting in the countryside, highlighting the feeling of hearing, and the joy of harvest is stirring everywhere in the village. Kangxi had personal experience in growing rice. His poems are not extraordinary masterpieces, but they are close to life and smell of earth. They are more lively and interesting than some literati who write poems by imagination in their study.

  In a word, Kangxi had a close relationship with Jingdao, which was unparalleled among hundreds of emperors in ancient China. His contribution is to promote the transplanting of rice to the north of the Great Wall and advocate the promotion of double-cropping rice in the south. The descendants of Kangxi, namely Yongzheng and Qianlong, also attached great importance to agricultural production. At the beginning of spring ploughing, Yongzheng and Qianlong held the ceremony of "borrowing farmland" in the small experimental field of "Fengzeyuan" successively, and demonstrated by themselves to help farmers. Yongzheng’s poem "Tillage" wrote: "Spring turns in Yuanji, and it is warm and comfortable in Jutz. The green dove cries for rain, and the yellow calf drives the plow at the beginning. There is no escape for every mu of people, and they dare to work hard. Care about the lessons and help the village market. " This poem expresses sincere desire for the hard work of farmers in the busy season of spring ploughing. There is a poem "Fengze Garden" in Qianlong: "After gardening, I will farm the fields, and the name of the garden is Fengze, Myanmar and Yaonian." Here, the layout of rice fields and vegetable gardens in Fengze Garden is described, and his concept of attaching importance to agriculture is expressed, which is quite meaningful to Sun Jizhu’s career.

  Dinner banquet

  In ancient China, a fine ethical concept of respecting the elderly and caring for the young was formed very early, and the older people are, the more respected they are by the society. Therefore, it often attracted the attention of feudal emperors in the past dynasties. In the "King System", there is a ritual system of respecting the elderly by emperors who "give sticks" to the elderly. Ren Fang (460-508), a famous litterateur in the Southern Dynasties, who was Cheng in the imperial history and the prefect of Yixing, once left a famous sentence: "Laojun still cares about his teeth, but he regrets this staff’s nostalgia" (see Answer to Jian ‘an Pay Staff). During the reign of Kangxi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, the national strength was strong, which was called "the prosperous time of Kanggan" in history. The activities of respecting, respecting and loving the elderly were paid special attention to by Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong, so there were four grand and spectacular "thousand banquets" in history. In the fifty-second year of Kangxi, the sixty-first year of Kangxi, the fifty years of Qianlong and the first year of Jiaqing, respectively, two thousand banquets during the reign of Kangxi were held in Changchun Garden.

  In March of the fifty-second year of Kangxi (AD 1713), the 60th birthday of Emperor Kangxi, the holy ancestor of Qing Dynasty (also known as Wanshou Festival), he thought: "Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there have been 190 emperors, and they have enjoyed a long time, and there is no one like me." Therefore, we decided to hold a grand and ostentatious celebration of Wanshou. (See Record of Kangxi, Volume 254) In Beijing, the colorful shed set up for the celebration extends from Xizhimen to Changchun Garden for 20 miles. The Ministry of Rites has made a special provision: "It is unusual to meet anniversary who is 60 years old this year." From the first day of March to the end of the month, Beijing officials have to wear embroidered robes and make up their gowns, breaking the routine of wearing only royal clothes for seven days. The most striking thing is that Emperor Kangxi announced that in aged person, people over 65 years old, regardless of government or people, can get to Beijing on time to attend the banquet in Changchun Garden.

  On March 25th, Emperor Kangxi hosted the first banquet for ministers, officials and scholars of Han nationality in front of the main gate of Changchun Garden. There were 33 people over 90 years old, 538 people over 80 years old, 1823 people over 70 years old and 1846 people over 65 years old. All the princes, grandchildren and descendants of the imperial clan who were over 10 years old and under 20 years old came out to toast the old people, distribute food, help the old people over 80 years old to drink in front of Emperor Kangxi to show their favor, and reward them with silver.

  On this day, the scene of the Imperial Palace was unusually solemn and grand. Under the eaves of the Imperial Palace, there is a display of Zhonghe Shaole; In Ningshou Gate, there is Dan Bi Da Le. Inside the temple, there are seats for princes and ministers. Under the temple, the envoys of North Korea and other vassal countries were arranged; The seats with the banquet are under the steps outside the temple.

  On March 27th, in front of the main entrance of Changchun Garden, a wine banquet was held to entertain ministers, officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners and idlers, including 7 people over 90 years old, 192 people over 80 years old, 1,394 people over 70 years old, and 1,012 people over 65 years old. On March 28th, in front of the Empress Dowager Palace in Changchun Garden, a banquet was held for the Eight Banners old women over 70 years old. Those over 90 years old were seated at the palace gate, those over 80 years old were seated at Xidan Gate, and the rest were outside the palace gate. More than 6,600 people attended the banquet in aged person, Manchu, and an unknown number of eight banners old women, certainly no less than 7,000 people, and its grand occasion was passed down as a much-told story.

  In the first lunar month of the sixty-first year of Kangxi (1722), Emperor Kangxi was 69 years old. In order to celebrate his 70th birthday, he held a second banquet in Ganqing Palace. At that time, 12-year-old Hongli attended the banquet as the emperor’s grandson. This year is the last year of Emperor Kangxi’s life journey.

  On the first day of the first month of the first month, the palace held a New Year’s gift to the DPRK. The old emperor, who had weathered the storm and was quite satisfied with his sixty-year imperial career, wrote the poem "Sixty-one Spring Fasting Book", which said: the nature is towering, and the classics assist the DPRK. Don’t do your best, don’t make the vulgar atmosphere noisy. Don’t miss farming and mulberry, you must be timid inside and outside. The wind is high and the birds are quiet, and the rain is enough and the road is clear. How can the inspection be hidden, and how can the loose-packed be shaken? Although it is dusk in Sang Yu, the pine and cypress wither with frost. Long-term cultivation of spring is prosperous, and it is lenient and strict. Tiredness should be unavoidable, and the more ashamed you are, the more obvious you are.

  The reason for this banquet is that the world is peaceful and the people’s livelihood is rich. On the second day of the first month, in front of the Forbidden City, a banquet was held to entertain 680 civil and military ministers, officials and officials of the Eight Banners, who were over 65 years old and retired. Kings and idle imperial clan members came out to confer titles on the old people to persuade them to drink and distribute food. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, another banquet was held for 340 ministers of civil and military affairs and officials of the Han nationality who were over 65 years old.

  Records in Zhang Cheng Diary

  On the 15th day of the first month of the 30th year of Kangxi (1691), Xuanye hosted a banquet for Zhang Cheng and other foreign teachers in the bedroom. The emperor ordered the imperial court to prepare horses, gave them a ride into Changchun Garden, and then was introduced to Qingxi Bookstore. They saw "cold dishes, fruits, pastries and sweets on the table". After the meal, Zhang Cheng also witnessed Xuanye’s banquet for the clan here. "Zhang Cheng Diary" recorded the grand banquet in detail: after we ate, the internal supervisor arranged for the emperor to have a banquet with 12 to 15 relatives in the imperial palace today. Tea and food used on the table are placed at the other end of the hall. There is a big square table in the center of the temple, covered with red lacquer and gold, and decorated with dragon flowers. Tatars and Han Chinese don’t use tablecloths and napkins. They only spread yellow satin embroidered with golden dragons on the table. There are two tables around the front of the table, and the edges are decorated with colored stone beads inlaid with silver wire. These are all made of ordinary stones with no luster. On both sides of the hall, a ruler is set for the pro-expensive ministers, and the cushions are placed on the floor. They took their seats here for dinner. There are pyramids of cold meat in the food, and cold dishes made of aspic, beans, cauliflower or Chinese cabbage. The imperial table is full of colorful flowers, and flowers and trees are planted in large porcelain pots or painted wooden barrels all winter, which are displayed in the emperor’s bedroom. This is the main decoration in his inner bedroom. Other than that, everything is plain. The corner of the hall is separated by a screen, and a band is set here. A group of 10-to 12-year-old eunuchs, dressed as clowns, performed various martial arts in front of the table. Two of them bent their heads backward, almost touching their heels, and then stood upright at the beginning, without moving their positions or using their hands or feet …

  On the Lantern Festival in the 30th year of Kangxi (1691), Xuanye invited his foreign teacher Zhang Cheng and others to watch the fireworks with him. Zhang Cheng Diary wrote: In the evening, we went to watch fireworks. The fire was set up opposite the queen’s bedroom. The emperor led the princes to watch in person. There are more than 20 pro-expensive ministers in the audience. Our seats are right next to them. There is nothing special about fireworks, only a string of lamps lit by artillery in series, which are soaring and dazzling, like many planets. The rest are just spray flowers, rain stars, tube explosions, rockets and so on. The first rocket was launched before the emperor arrived, and they said that he lit it himself. This rocket, like a sharp arrow off the bowstring, hit and ignited another fireworks 30 or 40 paces away. In this fireworks, a second rocket flew out, triggering a third fireworks and shooting a third rocket. Several fireworks are like a series of machines. The fireworks lasted for an hour.

  Kangxi died in Changchun Garden.

  Xuanye is a wise monarch, and he can handle a lot of difficult government affairs with ease, but the matter of abolishing the crown prince has caused him a lot of trouble and broken his heart, which seriously damaged his health. In the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi (1717), on November 21st, Xuanye, who was seriously ill, summoned the princes, Manchu and Han university students, etc.Palace of Heavenly PurityDongnuange, issued a long and sincere message. He claims that he has been ill recently, his mind is in a trance, and his body is very tired. It is difficult to get up and walk without support. He also said that he is now seriously ill and forgetful, and he is very afraid of doing things right and wrong and doing something wrong. In 1957, Xuanye said that when he got up a little early, he "shook his hands and looked indecent, or his face suddenly changed when his heart beat." In April, 1958, he said that his "qi and blood are gradually declining, his spirit is gradually decreasing, he feels tired in doing things, and his writing hands are trembling". In the spring of 1961, I visited Jidian, and the provincial party asked the customs and inspected the officials and the people; In the summer, I toured the northern part of the Great Wall. After returning to Beijing at the end of September, I was busy with various government affairs. His hard work is running out.

  On October 21, 61, Kangxi, Xuanye rushed to Nanyuan Hangwei again. Being tired for many days in a row, I feel even weaker, and it is the middle of winter, so I feel cold. On the seventh day of November, Xuanye returned to Changchun Garden to treat his illness. Traditionally, on the Winter Solstice Festival on November 15th, the emperor had to go to the southern suburbs to hold a ceremony to worship heaven. Because of illness, Yin Zhen, the fourth son of Emperor Yong, made sacrifices on his behalf and ordered him to fast in advance. On the 10th, 11th and 12th of this month, during his fast, Yin Zhen sent eunuchs and guards several times to greet his father’s illness, and Xuanye only replied casually: "I feel a little better." Late at night on the 12th, Xuanye’s condition deteriorated sharply. Just after midnight, Yin Zhen, the fourth son of the Emperor, was summoned to the lent house, and he was ordered to return to Changchun Garden quickly. The Southern Suburb Sacrifice Code was reassigned to Wu Erzhan. At the same time, we also called Prince Yun Zhi of the Third Son of the Emperor, Wang Yun You of the Seventh Son of the Emperor, Baylor Yun You of the Eighth Son of the Emperor, Bei Zi Yun You of the Ninth Son of the Emperor, and Wang Yun of the Tenth Son of the Emperor. The twelve sons of Emperor Bei Zi Yun, the thirteen sons of Emperor Yun Xiang, and the minister of Li Fan Yuan Long Keduo all came to the side of the royal couch of Qingxi Bookstore and announced the heir to the throne, saying, "The four sons of Emperor are noble in character, and they are deeply humble, so they will be able to form a unified system, and I will be the emperor after them." At that time, the emperor’s five sons allowed Qi to pay homage to Xiao Dongling on the winter solstice and failed to listen to the testamentary edict impromptu. Because of their age and status, the fifteenth son of the Emperor allowed disaster, the sixteenth son of the Emperor allowed Lu, the seventeenth son of the Emperor allowed Li and the twentieth son of the Emperor allowed Yi to wait outside the bedroom, so they could not go in for training. At this time, Yin Zhen, the fourth son of the Emperor, came from the den to greet him. Xuanye also reported his growing illness. Yin Zhen had to comfort the emperor’s father with tears in his eyes.

  Xuanye’s life has come to an end. On the same day (13th) night, this generation of British master died in Qingxi Bookstore in Changchun Garden at the age of 69.

  That night, under the strict guard of the emperors, the ministers of Li Fan Yuan, and the commander of Long Keduo, the emperor’s body was transported from Changchun Garden to Ganqing Palace in the Forbidden City, and later buried in the Qingling Mausoleum of Qing Dynasty. On November 20th, the Royal Hall of Supreme Harmony in Yin Zhen was crowned as the third emperor after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs-Yong Zhengdi.

The report released by the Hong Kong SAR Government also shows that Hong Kong’s economy will continue to recover in the second quarter of 2023, driven by inbound tourism and private consumption.

The Escort Agency in the World: the first escort in the world, the enmity and hatred in the Jianghu

A love story caused by a sachet

The legendary course of an escort king.

A masterpiece of a costume film that eliminates evil and promotes good.

A visually novel martial arts commercial film


Since ancient times, it has been said, "Businessmen are inseparable from darts, and darts are inseparable from business." Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, escort agencies have existed in all commercially developed areas.

During the development of escort agency culture for more than 200 years, ten most distinctive and influential escort agencies emerged. China Escort Agency’s magnificent historical scenery, which swallowed waves and swelled waves, has interpreted countless legendary stories.

Shanxi merchants and dart culture are the most typical culture of Shanxi merchants.

The six dart systems adopted by the escort agency are: letter dart, ticket dart, silver dart, grain dart, material dart and personal dart. The main forms of escort before the birth of escort agency are basically consistent with the emergence and development of commerce. The rapid development of business has made many people become big bosses and officials. Too much gold and silver has brought too much danger, so they invite people with martial arts to accompany them to protect themselves.

It is against this social and commercial background that the film leads to a magical story of darting in Ming and Qing Dynasties.


Stills of "World Escort Agency"


The World Escort Agency will bring us a different martial arts vision.


A. The logical development of the plot

At the beginning of the film, a love story is drawn. Wang Zhenwei, the old daughter of Shanxi, has a higher heart than the sky. He is not satisfied with living in Shanxi for a long time and is bent on opening a "world escort agency" in Beijing. Under the guidance of my parents, I opened an escort agency. I didn’t expect this one to be a sachet to escort Princess Shi from Shenfu Royal Guards. Although it is not expensive, it is also a business. According to the old rules, the bodyguard can take the list of the items he receives and the pass issued by the government, so he can take the dart on the road. Unexpectedly, he was chased by a master on the way, and it was dangerous.

The heroine’s name is Shen Feiyan, the daughter of Shi Shenrong, the commander of Royal Guards. She is unruly and willful, and likes guns and sticks. She is a frivolous woman who has nothing to do in the palace, so she uses a sachet to try darts. Let’s see if this newly opened escort agency is in name only. After the princess issued the dart, she didn’t finish the calculation, but also sent a team of people to rob the dart …

One day, Wang Zhenwei was alone in the forest and grass with a dart box on his back. Suddenly, a group of men jumped out of the wild grass and launched a life-and-death fight with Wang Zhenwei, the escort, who lost to his opponent. Suddenly, the father of the escort seemed to fall from the sky and tried his best to protect his son. In the fight, he fought to the death and drank away the robber, but his father was seriously injured. Facing the injured father, Wang Zhenwei did not flinch and was determined to carry out the escort business to the end.
At the same time, the butler also sent a few troops to chase the darts. The reason is that there is a secret piece in the girl’s sachet, which contains a list of thousands of corrupt officials in Beijing, which makes an ordinary dart line confusing …

2. Unique martial arts design

Wushu is a tradition in China, which has dual functions of fitness and attack and defense. Because Shanxi merchants often go out for business thousands of miles away, they often encounter unexpected difficulties and obstacles, even thieves’ attacks. Therefore, Shanxi merchants have always attached importance to martial arts, and many people practice martial arts themselves to strengthen their bodies and defend themselves from thieves’ attacks.

Wushu and boxers play a role in protecting the safety of Shanxi merchants, and Shanxi merchants’ encouragement and support for Wushu and boxers also play a role in promoting Wushu activities to a certain extent.

The martial arts of the film can be said to be the biggest highlight of the film. The martial arts director is Li Cai, a famous martial arts designer in film and television. He was the martial arts director of Zhang Yimou’s Hero. This digital film shooting can be said to be familiar with the martial arts design. On the basis of the script, the martial arts design mainly depends on imagination to become a wonderful martial arts drama. His martial arts design has a large space and high difficulty. The lens modeling is realistic, virtual and real, dynamic and static, and the combination of dynamic and static is like flowing water.

The martial arts design in the film strives for novelty, and there are breakthroughs and innovations in martial arts design. Especially at the end of the film, water village and bamboo ware are used to build momentum and have excellent visual effects.

3. Expressive techniques of relaxation

A movie must have a relaxed rhythm, that is, it must create a dramatic climax in every time period, so as to continuously attract the audience into the plot. In this respect, The Escort Agency in the World is an excellent example. For example, the combination of love drama and kung fu drama makes the plot of the film fast and slow, and it is relaxed.

The arrangement of the plot and the allocation of shots in the film are prioritized, leaving sufficient room for the rhythm of the film. For example, in the first half of the film, there is no accumulation of shots, but it is as soothing and dull as possible, trying to achieve gradual progress in rhythm and strive to be a latecomer, laying an excellent foundation for finally conquering the audience.

4. Grand aesthetic pursuit

The World Escort Agency is beautiful and excellent in martial arts, stunts, music, modeling and costumes. Strive for innovation and innovation in the exploration and innovation of martial arts films. As the creator of the play, no matter the playwright, director or actor, they strive for perfection. Especially in the final stage of the film, the design of martial arts and the use of lens reached a feverish level. Underwater and water, land and sky, bamboo wares and weapons were intertwined, and several people were killed inextricably, creating a grand and majestic fierce battle scene. The film pursued a grand and shocking momentum, and it was overwhelming in the arrangement of strength, and finally won the applause of the audience!

Gansu mala Tang, why is it so fragrant?

Original yuki & Luqi ‘an Chihuo Institute

Mala Tang, a well-known snack, occupies a place in many people’s hearts. Northeast Mala Tang, Sichuan-Chongqing Mala Tang … Different factions of Mala Tang have their own characteristics and fans, just like fairy fights.

And the hottest mala Tang recently, but also the number of Gansu mala Tang. On the internet, it’s like a dark horse that suddenly comes out, and everyone is in a hurry. Gansu people just want to say: Gansu mala Tang has finally been seen by everyone!

Gansu hot spicy dip yi yi pai she

Gansu people who are away from home, the first thing to do when they go home is not to eat beef noodles, but to eat malatang. Because beef noodles can be eaten anywhere, but Gansu mala Tang can only be eaten when you return to Gansu.

Gansu hot spicy dip and spicy rice noodles.

Gansu hot spicy dip

/Potato flour and oil chili pepper is the soul/

In the world of spicy food in Gansu, there are two indispensable elements-potato flour and pepper fragrance. The two are integrated with each other to create a unique Gansu mala Tang.

Gansu hot spicy dip yi yi pai she

Gansu is rich in potatoes, among which Dingxi is the most famous potato.

The potato produced in Dingxi is Huang Cancan and round, which is called a golden and bright potato. It is also known as "the golden pimple in the yellow land". Moreover, Dingxi potato has high starch content, sufficient viscosity and good fusion. It can be used only with potatoes and water, and it is not suitable for processing into powder.

The potato powder made of Dingxi potatoes is naturally milky white, and it will not muddy the soup after being cooked for a long time, and the entrance is smooth and strong, so you can feel the full chewiness between chewing. The most commendable thing is the juice-hanging ability of this kind of powder. Before eating, soak it in the soup, soak up the fresh and fragrant soup in mala Tang, and then wrap it in chili pepper. It is really "spicy, smooth, strong, thorough, fragrant and refreshing".

On the right is a shot of fine potato powder.

Just like Lanzhou beef noodles have two fine, capillary and leek leaves, Gansu potato powder can also be divided into fine powder, leek leaf powder and large width, which fully considers the needs of diners.

Big width powder picture from the idea of the worm.

Moreover, in the Mala Tang restaurant in Gansu, you can order a spicy powder, pick up a piece of powder and eat it. The fragrance is confused!

Spicy rice noodles, sizzling and shooting

In the seasoning of Gansu Mala Tang, pepper is an indispensable part.

When I first saw Gansu Mala Tang, I was often shocked by the red chili pepper in the bowl. After I tasted it, I found that Gansu Mala Tang was very red, but it was fragrant, and it was the kind of spicy that slowly poured into the taste buds.

Hongtongtong’s Hot Spicy Dip Yiyiyipai

People in the northwest like spicy food, and each family has its own formula of paste pepper.

Grinding different varieties of dried peppers into flour, adding a proper amount of spiced powder, salt, sugar, white sesame seeds, etc., and finally just pouring hot oil, the fragrance locked in red chili pepper can be stimulated to the extreme, and the pepper is full of fragrance, and the spicy taste is strong without losing the sense of hierarchy, and the taste buds can be grasped instantly, which makes people unforgettable.

There is no milk, sesame sauce or sugar in the soup base of Gansu Mala Tang. Only broth or bone soup is used. After a long period of boiling, supplemented by various seasonings, the soup base is clean and not muddy, and it pays attention to a "non-sticky mouth".

Shooting the soup of boiling hot spicy dip.

The most irresistible thing is the preparation of small ingredients for Gansu Mala Tang.

Fried peanuts and pickled mustard tuber are accompanied by Chili flavor, and a variety of flavors are wrapped around the tips of lips and teeth, which makes the taste of mala Tang more abundant. There are also some stores in Lanzhou that will add sour radish, which is very boring.

The Q-bomb of vermicelli, the richness of seasoning, the crispness of peanuts, and the fragrance of pepper … all the flavors are intertwined, forming an indescribable wonderful taste. It is no wonder that a bowl of hot Gansu Mala Tang can make countless Gansu wanderers dream about it.

Shooting on a small feeding table

Gansu province is long and narrow from east to west, so the mala Tang in different regions is also slightly different. Zhangye Mala Tang, which is quite popular in recent years, has added "sweet noodle sauce" to its sauce, which is sweet and spicy to eat. But if you want to ask which Gansu Mala Tang is the best, Gansu people will only answer you that the Mala Tang in their hometown is the best.

According to my colleague in Gansu, it was originally a Sichuanese who came to Jiayuguan to open a mala Tang restaurant. She grew up eating the first mala Tang restaurant. Sichuan Mala Tang took root in Gansu, and was further localized and improved, and finally developed into what it is today.

Sichuan hot spicy dip

/Snacks from the street to the table/

When it comes to mala Tang, Sichuan is absolutely unavoidable. After all, this is the birthplace of mala Tang.

As for how Sichuan Mala Tang came into being, there are many opinions, one of which is the most widespread and credible: in the 1980s and 1990s, the individual economy began to flourish, and street stalls put food slices on bamboo sticks for sale. Set up a pot next to it, rinse and cook it in the spicy soup base, and then dip it in. It’s cheap and charges by signing. This is the original form of mala Tang.

The original mala Tang was signed | The picture comes from the idea of the worm.

This small-scale business has strong reproducibility, low entry threshold, more and more employees, and some changes in form-from the initial street snacks into the store, it has become a dinner, cooked by yourself, served with oil dishes, and the variety of ingredients is also richer. In addition to the improvement in form, Mala Tang has gradually expanded from Leshan, the original birthplace, to Chengdu, and has a new name-"string string".

Today’s hand-held skewers are close to the original mala Tang eating method, and most of them are put out on the street in the middle of the night. After selecting the dishes, the boss will use a clip to fix the skewers on the edge of the pot and cook them. After the pot is put out, sprinkle chopped green onion and coriander as you like.

The picture comes from the idea of the worm.

Mala Tang and skewers are so similar that although I am a Sichuanese, I once thought they were the same thing, but they were called by different names, and eating them in my mouth was similar. Actually, their boundaries are really blurred, and you don’t have to worry too much when eating-delicious is the most important thing.

In the past, the roadside stalls in Beijing were also cooked with skewers in the soup base, and they were always hot. Pick out what you want to eat, and the boss will take the ingredients off the label and mix the seasoning, so you can eat it.

Antimony pot mala Tang and plate mala Tang, which have emerged in recent two or three years, are mixed with dry dishes made of bean powder, Chili noodles and garlic paste, and their tastes reproduce the delicious and spicy memories of many Sichuanese children.

Cold pot string and maocai are also products derived from the deformation of "mala Tang-string".

Cold pot strings are cooked and served in soup. Although there is the word "cold" in the name, it is actually hot, the food is hot, the soup is hot, and only the pot containing the food is cold (actually at room temperature).

Maocai, on the other hand, abandoned "signing" and added some small bowls of dishes to choose from on the basis of mala Tang. You can choose beef, rabbit loin, brain flower, thousand layers of belly and other ingredients separately.

Beef | Image from the idea of the worm

Maocai can also be sold with rice, which is well-prepared and active in the streets in the form of fast food, providing many office workers with fast and rich lunch choices.

Northeast hot spicy dip

/delicious after localization/

Mala Tang bloomed in the northwest, a spicy flower of Gansu Mala Tang. It can also go to the northeast, adapt to local conditions, improve and evolve into a brand-new genre-Northeast Mala Tang.

At that time, with the tide of laid-off, the small business of Mala Tang borrowed from Sichuan began to take root in the land of Northeast China.

In the choice of ingredients, most of the meat dishes in Sichuan Mala Tang are animals in the water, such as county liver, duck intestines, hairy belly, county handle, rabbit waist, etc. When they come to the northeast, the meat dishes are mostly meat slices and various balls. On the staple food, Northeast Mala Tang has also added corn flour, beef tendon noodles, potato flour, rice cakes, fried dough sticks and rich bean products according to local tastes.

Northeast Mala Tang | Image from the idea of the worm

When Mala Tang first entered the Northeast, it basically maintained the original heavy oil and spicy flavor, but later it was improved with the local taste, and the overall taste was more salty and spicy. This is the old-fashioned Mala Tang in the Northeast, and it is also the first and most popular form of Mala Tang after it came to the Northeast for localization.

Old-fashioned hot spicy dip

Nowadays, there are many hot "Northeast Sticky Mala Tang" on the Internet, and a large iron spoon of sesame sauce and peanut butter almost covers the whole bowl surface, giving people a strong visual impact.

In addition to the improved version of mala Tang, there is also a popular version of mala Tang in Northeast China.

Vegetables, meatballs, staple foods, mushrooms, etc. are cooked, drained, and then mixed with seasonings to eat. The optional flavors of spicy-hot mix are richer than those of spicy-hot mix, spicy, sour-sweet, sour-spicy and sweet-spicy, especially the sweet-sour mouth. Adding more vinegar and sugar to the spicy mix is very "Northeast"!

Spicy mix | Image from the idea of the worm

Many non-Northeast partners’ knowledge of Northeast Mala Tang mostly comes from two famous chain restaurants: Sean Mala Tang and Yang Guofu Mala Tang. These two brands not only took the Northeast Mala Tang out of the Northeast, but also promoted the iconic bone soup and milk soup base to the whole country.

Sean and Yang Guofu have actually opened many stores in Sichuan in recent years. This phenomenon is quite interesting. Mala Tang went out of Sichuan and returned to Sichuan after being improved in the northeast. When miscellaneous sauce noodles, a popular Chinese food in South Korea, were returned to China for sale, they were regarded as Korean food, which had the same effect.

With the popularity of Gansu Mala Tang rising, many places outside Gansu are gearing up to open Gansu Mala Tang shops, and there are also many fast food versions available online. People who can’t go to Gansu, but are greedy for spicy food in Gansu, may be able to solve the pain of lovesickness-but there is no guarantee that they will be delicious in Gansu.

If you eat delicious Gansu Mala Tang in Beijing, be sure to tell me, because I want to eat it so much.

What kind of mala Tang do you like?

Disappeared May 1st file: the first day’s pre-sale box office is only 50,000, and the light film industry will bet on youth films.

  epidemicBefore and after, the scenery of the cinema was bleak, on April 24.sunOn this day, a wonderful and strong contrast was formed.

  Cat’s Eye Professional Edition showed that the cumulative box office of the movie was 12,724,200 yuan, of which "Fantastic Animals: Dumbledore" led with 2,519,600 yuan, with an attendance rate of 1.5%.

  On the same day three years ago (2019), it coincided with the release of Avengers: Endgame, and the cumulative box office on that day was about 545 million yuan, of which "Reunion 4" won about 538 million yuan, with an attendance rate of 34.7%, which can be described as a double crush of attendance and box office.

  When communicating with film industry practitioners, Time Finance found that "miserable" is a word often mentioned. After 180 days of cinema suspension in 2020, the Qingming file in 2022 hit the lowest box office record in 10 years, and the May 1st file (April 30th to May 4th) also faced the situation that there was no film to watch.

  According to Topp’s research data, affected by the epidemic, the operating rate of cinemas in China has been hovering around 50% since March 21 this year, and many cinemas in "ticket warehouses" have closed down, and many cinemas are facing a crisis of closure.

  The delay in the release of the film also had an impact on the distributor. In this May Day movie, the producers involved Wanda Pictures, Alibaba Pictures, Iqiyi Pictures, Youku, etc., which made the long video platform "short of money" worse.

  The pre-sale box office on the first day was only 50,000 yuan.

  At the beginning of the month, eight domestic films, such as Qingming film, Life Events and You are My Spring, were all withdrawn. From April 3 to April 5, the national box office revenue was 122 million yuan, compared with 820 million yuan in the same period last year, down 85% year-on-year, setting the lowest box office value in the same period for nearly 10 years except 2020 (the cinema was closed during the Qingming holiday in 2020).

  After the Qingming small holiday when the film was withdrawn and the box office was depressed, the May 1st file, which did not improve, became the sword of Damocles hanging over the movie head.

  On April 18th, the sword fell, and "GG Bond Movie Ocean Diary" became the first film to withdraw from the May 1st file. Then "Hello, Brother", "Prosecutorial Storm", "Keep You Safe", "Hello, Beijing" and "Meet You" were successively withdrawn.

  "The May 1 ST file is very miserable. Like the Qingming file, all the good films have been withdrawn." A manager of a chain cinema told Time Finance: "At present, the situation this year is worse than last year."

  As of April 25th, there were only four new films left in the May 1st movie, including I really hate long-distance relationships, League of Bad Guys, The Little Mermaid’s Fantasy Adventure, Punch, Mom, including two animated films and two live-action movies. "The Adventure of Stupid Birds" and "As long as you live better than me" were re-screened, and there was no news that the films that had previously withdrawn from the Qingming archives were scheduled for May Day.

  In addition, after the documentary "Captain Everest" announced the opening of the May 1st file, a film investment boss praised the film and the cinema in the circle of friends, which also reflected the dilemma of the current cinema. Any new film, even if it is just a screening, is always a long drought.

  Cat’s Eye Professional Edition shows that as of 16: 00 on April 25th, the pre-sale box office on the first day of May 1st has just exceeded 50,000 yuan, among which "I really hate long-distance relationships" contributed more than half of the box office.

  Compared with the same period last year and this year’s Spring Festival, the single-digit pre-sale results of the May 1 ST file are far from each other. According to the data of Cat’s Eye Professional Edition, the box office of the Spring Festival in 2022 was 6.036 billion yuan, ranking second in the box office of China Film History. In 2021, Qingming File and May Day File both broke the highest box office record in this period.

  Wanda and Iqiyi retreated, and Light and Poly "gambled"

  The May Day holiday is one of the golden schedules every year. However, when half of the cinemas in China are suspended and the pre-sale is not ideal, many films choose to withdraw their files.

  Among the withdrawn films, the film Hello, Brother is undoubtedly one of the potential dark horses. The film is composed of Mahua FunAge’s common lineups-Mary, Changyuan and Wei Xiang, and the producers include Wanda Film, Mokexing Film and Maoyan Entertainment.

  Previously, The Killer Not Too Cold starring Mary and Wei Xiang became a dark horse in the Spring Festival in 2022. Hello, Brother, which was co-produced by the original team, benefited from the accumulated reputation of the previous work, and it is expected to achieve results in the May 1st file, but it may cause losses to producers including Wanda after the file is withdrawn.

  "Prosecutorial Fengyun" starring Johnny, Bai Baihe, etc., producers include the Supreme People’s Procuratorate film and television, (), pattern image, etc. The producers of "Meet You" are iQiyi Film and Xiamen Hengye Film; The producers of "Keep You Safe" include Cat’s Eye Culture and Alibaba Pictures. The producers of GG Bond Movie Ocean Diary include Youku and Guangdong Yongsheng Animation.

  The cancellation of Meet You and GG Bond Movie Ocean Diary is undoubtedly a missed opportunity for Iqiyi and Youku, which are currently trying to save money.

  The film distribution of a well-known film company in the industry told Time Finance: "The epidemic has a great impact on the film industry." She said that many companies have cut their salaries or stopped paying. "Whether the film industry can rebound ultimately depends on whether there is good content. Now it seems that there is a lack of quality content."

  Among the films that stick to the May 1st file, "I really hate long-distance relationships" is the best pre-sale result at present. The film, produced by Light Film, emphasizes the advance and retreat together with the cinema, but there are also many commercial considerations.

  Its same type of low-cost youth romantic film "Ten Years of One Product as Warm as Words" released on February 14th this year, although the Douban score was only 2.8, its box office was close to 200 million yuan. In the case that other films in the May 1 ST file were withdrawn, "I really hate long-distance relationships", as the only live-action movie, may be given a cake by virtue of its "rarity".

  In addition, the film was originally scheduled for May 20 this year, which not only hit the same type of film "Unrequited Love with Orange in Huainan", but also the male lead of both films was Xin Yunlai. Instead of delaying it for 20 days, we will compete with similar films under the condition of uncertain whether the cinema will resume, and bet on a May 1st file or a better choice. "Punch, Mom", starring Tan Zhuo and Tian Yu, and produced by Poly Pictures, seems to have this consideration.

  Light vs chasing light, summer file "fairy" fight

  Compared with the bleak May 1 ST file, the summer file is expected to become a lifeline for the cinema.

  Recently, () mentioned in the financial report that its film "Deep Sea" has been submitted for trial. Both the film and "Return of the Great Sage of Journey to the West" were directed by Tian Xiaopeng, who won a box office of 956 million yuan in 2015, with a douban score of 8.3, which was a double harvest in word-of-mouth box office. The Deep Sea, which is also blessed by the team, has also received much attention. According to the progress, it may be expected to land in the summer file.

  In recent years, Horgos Striped House Film, a subsidiary of Light Media, has launched many popular and blockbuster animation films. Ne Zha won 5.035 billion yuan at the box office, and Legend of Deification, which landed in the National Day in 2020, also accumulated 1.603 billion yuan at the box office.

  In the field of mythology, the competing light-chasing animation launched "New God List Yang Jian" and announced that it will be finalized in July this year. In recent years, the company has successively released three films, White Snake: The Origin and New Gods: Nezha Reborn White Snake 2: The Green Snake Robbed, which won 449 million yuan, 456 million yuan and 580 million yuan at the box office respectively.

  Movies such as Life Events, Detective Wars, You Are My Spring, and Prosecutorial Fengyun, which were withdrawn from Qingming and May Day, may also flow to the summer file and the eleventh file. Among the imported films, Doctor Strange 2: How Far Is the Crazy Universe and Raytheon 4: Love and Thunder were released in Jurassic World 3 in the summer, and they are expected to be introduced to the mainland.

  The manager of the above-mentioned chain cinemas also put his hopes on the summer file. He told Time Finance: "From the current situation, there is nothing the cinema can do. I can only hope that the summer file in July-August this year will resume and get a higher box office than the same period last year."

Aunt spent 68,000 yuan to "find" her daughter’s professional team to plan an encounter.

Ms. Yuan (left) is very upset about her daughter, and her husband comforts her.

  After eating the neighbor’s wedding candy and drinking the neighbor’s full moon wine, Aunt Yuan’s eyes were full of "envy", and her older daughter was completely lost at the starting line.

  When she got home and turned on the computer, 64-year-old Yuan Auntie clicked on the dating website. Through the website, she contacted an offline company, and the dating company offered free dating strategies such as "encounter". Although the service fee was as high as 68,880 yuan, she and Yuan Auntie imagined hitting it off. The two sides signed a confidentiality agreement and formed an "alliance" to make the process of introducing objects "smooth and silent". However, the plan was not as smooth as the movie plot. For seven months, my daughter was still single. The "alliance" also collapsed, and Aunt Yuan continued to turn on the computer. However, this time she searched for legal knowledge and prepared to let the matchmaking company refund the money.

  anxious

  My daughter is 36 years old and still single.

  "I showed you a … …” Aunt Yuan was only halfway through her speech when her daughter Qing Qing (a pseudonym) gave her a dirty look. "Oh, you believe this." After being shut out several times, Aunt Yuan had to use circuitous tactics to "save" her daughter.

  Aunt Yuan, who lives in Chengdu and has retired, is unhappy all day. Her 36-year-old daughter has no intention of getting married at all, and she has remained single so far. "Every time I talk to her, she says ‘ It is not easy to get married, but it is too difficult to find a suitable one ’ 。” Aunt Yuan knows her daughter, and her daughter is independent in thought, and her annual salary is several hundred thousand yuan. She is more critical of the other half. As long as her words are not speculative, the man will definitely have no chance to "turn over". Aunt Yuan recalled that, in her own impression, only one doctor returned from studying in Japan insisted on "several rounds". In 2008, my daughter finally fell in love. The man has been to the house several times, and the old couple have only seen it a few times. The other time is telephone communication. After almost a year of running-in, the two received a marriage certificate. When she learned that the two had received the certificate, Aunt Yuan was elated at this time and thought that she had finally fulfilled her wish. However, she was not happy yet. They only got the marriage certificate in the morning, repented in the afternoon and divorced soon.

  Aunt Yuan watched her daughter getting older and worried more and more. She thought about entrusting someone to introduce her boyfriend to her daughter, but her daughter was often on a business trip in other places, and the timing was very inappropriate. In 2013, she began to come to the Internet, opened a dating website and started a long surfing road.

  huge sum of money

  Looking for a professional team to plan "encounter"

  In order to find a boyfriend for her daughter faster, Aunt Yuan frequently left a phone number on the dating website, and someone immediately came to the door. "In 2014, a beauty matchmaking agency that claimed to cherish the offline company came to me and introduced their services." Aunt Yuan said that the other party would call to greet her almost every other month. After continuous lobbying, on February 14, 2015, she decided to go to a store called Meiyin Marriage in the north section of the First Ring Road to "discuss big plans". From "188" to "688", the service will be different with different prices. According to the staff, the "688" service will have a special team to plan the blind date mode, and adopt the modes of "encounter in the mall" and "love at first sight in the cafe" to make the process of introducing the object not stiff and leave no trace.

  "This is it, one step at a time." Aunt Yuan said, "Professional people should have their own doorways to do professional things, and they said that their daughter’s situation can only be solved by the service of 68 thousand." In order to cooperate with the "offensive" of the matchmaking agency, she is prepared to act as an insider and signed a confidentiality agreement with the dating company. Neither party can disclose any plans to her daughter. They said it would be effective.

  disappointed

  The plan failed and the employer called for a refund.

  On February 15th, 2015, she took out her savings and put all her eggs in one basket. However, until April, this "battle" for the daughter’s marriage has not yet started. Aunt Yuan began to urge each other to act quickly. The matchmaking company replied, "Don’t worry, take your time".

  According to Aunt Yuan, the matchmaking agency sent a special line service staff, Mr. Huang, to "go to war". According to the plot, Aunt Yuan had to tell her daughter first that she had met an old classmate, Aunt Huang, when she was out shopping, and gave her her her daughter’s phone number. Aunt Yuan said that after a few days, her daughter was angry and said that her "classmates" called in the middle of the night to tell her unfortunate divorce history.

  Aunt Yuan knew that Miss Huang must be trying to befriend her, but instead of taking the bait, her daughter flew into a rage, saying that she didn’t have time to listen to these "complaints" at all, and asked this "old classmate" not to call again in the future. Aunt Yuan knew that the play couldn’t be performed, but Miss Huang didn’t change her strategy. In this way, until August of 2015, there was no progress in the special line service. Aunt Yuan quickly called "pause" and wanted to return the service fee.

  Aunt Yuan thought about looking for a lawyer to help her defend her rights, but after consulting, she found that if a lawyer wants to go out, she must alert her daughter, because the contract is her daughter’s name and she is only the client. Therefore, Aunt Yuan went online to find legal knowledge and find the way to protect her rights.

  matrimonial agency

  Planning a chance encounter cannot be implemented.

  Accessible judicial procedure

  According to the phone number left on the contract, the Chengdu Business Daily reporter contacted the relevant person in charge of Aunt Yuan’s business at that time. "I have left my job." The person in charge said that she had changed to a quieter job. In the past, she really had to deal with some things that she was dissatisfied with returning money at home. She said that she still had an impression on Aunt Yuan’s situation. You can talk to the person in charge of the company now.

  On the contract, the reporter saw that the company executing the contract was Zhenai offline VIP matchmaking service center Chengdu Red Line Store (Chengdu Red Line Network Technology Company). The reporter found a person in charge in Chengdu Red Line Store, Ms. Li, who said that they had cooperated with zhenai, but it is no longer relevant. At the beginning, it was a branch of Red Line called Meiyin that signed the contract with Aunt Yuan. Ms. Li said that the standard of 68,880 yuan chosen by Aunt Yuan belongs to private custom marriage, and the company has not provided services. Ms. Li said that because Auntie Yuan’s daughter hates the way of blind date, the matchmaking agency needs a team of three to five people to plan for her, and it is necessary to create some opportunities and set up some accidental encounters in shopping malls, cafes and other places, so that it will not be discovered by the other party. "Her daughter’s requirements are also high, and we have to do ideological work for each other when looking for the other’s husband. The workload is relatively heavy." Ms. Li said, "We planned one or two games, but we called her daughter, and her daughter said she was away, but the other husband couldn’t wait, so it was yellow." In this regard, Aunt Yuan also revealed that her daughter does travel frequently. "But the business trip is not long, and she usually comes back in a day or two."

  For more specific service details, Ms. Li said that she needs to learn in Meiyin. Yesterday afternoon, the reporter of Chengdu Business Daily found the person in charge in the general manager’s office of Meiyin Store. He refused to be interviewed on this matter, and said that if Aunt Yuan was not satisfied, she could take the judicial approach and how to deal with it.
