The terrorist attacks in Russia shocked the world and made Russian anti-terrorism forces the focus of discussion.

According to CCTV news reported on March 26, local time, on March 26, the Russian Federal Security Service announced that it had foiled a terrorist attack that was planned to be carried out in a humanitarian relief material receiving station in Samara. Bortnikov, director of the Russian Federal Security Service, said that Russia still faces a terrorist threat.

On the evening of March 22, local time, a terrorist attack took place in the "Saffron City Hall" in Moscow, Russia. According to the statistics of the Russian investigation Committee, the attack has caused 143 deaths and 182 injuries, and the concert hall building was burned in the fire. This is the most serious terrorist attack in Russia in the past two decades. Soon after, Russian military and police personnel, including Chechen special forces, quickly took action and completed the interception and arrest when the murderer was about 100 kilometers away from the Ukrainian border in Bryansk State.

In order to deal with terrorism, Russia has set up several special operations forces that are very professional and have strong combat effectiveness, and carried out work according to the characteristics of anti-terrorism operations.

The professional anti-terrorism force born of terrorist attacks

Russia has long been threatened by terrorism. In the mid-1990s, terrorist activities in Russia became increasingly rampant and showed an upward trend. In the early 21st century, it reached an unprecedented scale, and terrorist attacks with global significance such as Beslan hostage incident occurred at this stage. Terrorists from Chechnya, Central Asia and Afghanistan entered Russia to spread terrorism, extremism and separatism, recruit members and plan terrorist activities.

In order to deal with the threat of terrorism, Russia has been paying more attention to the construction of anti-terrorism mechanism, and at the same time, it has intensified its efforts to crack down on terrorist activities. At present, it has formed a relatively solid foundation of anti-terrorism laws and regulations, and established a vertical command and coordination system for anti-terrorism operations. At the same time, Russia also attaches great importance to the implementation of anti-terrorism operations, and has established several special combat forces with very professional and strong combat effectiveness to carry out work according to the characteristics of anti-terrorism operations.

At present, Russia’s special anti-terrorism forces mainly include the General Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, the Alpha and the Signal Flag, and the Russian Federal Internal Security Forces, among which the Alpha and the Signal Flag belong to the Federal Security Administration and the Internal Security Forces belong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Among them, the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, also known as Gruu, claims to be the most confidential department of Russian intelligence agencies. On October 21, 1918, at Trotsky’s suggestion, Lenin signed an order to formally set up the registration department under the Field General Staff of the Revolutionary Military Commission of the Republic to lead the military intelligence work on all fronts of the Red Army in a unified way, with Simon Ivanovich Aranov, who was born in Cheka, as the first minister. The story of "Gruwu" begins, and November 5 every year is designated as the anniversary of the establishment of "Gruwu". Unlike the KGB (the KGB was split into two parts after the disintegration of the Soviet Union: the Federal Security Service and the Foreign Intelligence Service), Gruwu did not sink after the disintegration of the Soviet Union and still played an important role in the armed forces of the Russian Federation. On November 5, 2006, on the 88th anniversary of the founding of Grupo, the new headquarters of Grupo in Moscow was officially opened.

The specific establishment and tasks of the special operations forces under the "Gruu" remain a mystery until today. It is reported that there are currently 24 well-trained special assault brigades in Gruu, with a total number of about 30,000 people. Its main task is to deter and prevent sudden attacks and strike behind enemy lines. Its main base is located in Chuchikovo, Ryazan, Russia. From the two wars in Chechnya to the little green men in Crimea, to the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine and the civil war in Syria, there are "Gruu" special forces. It is generally believed that on April 21, 1996, it was the "Gruu" special forces that provided accurate strike guidance on the spot, which enabled two Russian Su -25 fighters to launch missiles and successfully killed Chechen rebel leader dudayev, who was making a mobile phone call to the outside world.

In recent ten years, the actions against other Chechen rebel leaders, such as basaev, maskhadov and others, are basically recognized by the outside world as being related to "Gruwu". At the end of 2015, five Russian special forces were killed in combat operations in Syria. Although Russian officials once denied it, it is generally believed that these people are soldiers of Gruu. In the centennial celebration speech in 2018, Putin fully affirmed the role played by Gruu in Syria in the past few years, pointing out that Gruu provided vital target information and other intelligence for the Russian army to crack down on extremist organizations in Syria.

Both "Alpha" and "Signal Flag" special forces belong to the Federal Security Administration. The two armies have made great achievements in the hostage incident in the theater of Moscow Bearing Factory and the hostage incident in Beslan, which has attracted the attention of Russia and abroad.

The purpose of "Alpha" special forces is mainly to engage in anti-terrorism activities in Russia and deal with terrorism such as hostage-taking and bomb-planting. Its history can be traced back to 1974. It was originally called "KGB Group A" and was renamed "Alpha" in 1991. "Alpha" special forces are carefully selected from national security organs, airborne troops, border guards and military school graduates. In addition to being physically strong and responsive, they also need to pass intelligence tests.

The unit has now become the backbone of Russia’s counter-terrorism. In 1993, the terrorist Zaharijev hijacked a Russian civil aviation Il -86 passenger plane. Alpha was ordered to go out, sneaked into the cabin from the cargo hold at night, and quickly subdued the gangsters. Zaharijev was captured on the spot, and the plane and passengers were all safe. In a hijacking incident in 1997, "Alpha" once again captured the gangster alive, and all 142 passengers were safe and sound.

Among the anti-terrorism forces, the "Alpha" and "Signal Flag" special forces are two well-known forces, both of which belong to the Federal Security Administration.

The main task of the "signal flag" special forces is to carry out the security work of Russian institutions abroad, including anti-sabotage, anti-espionage, anti-subversion and defending the leaders. The "signal flag" special forces was established in 1981, initially under the KGB Anti-Spy Bureau, and then disbanded and reorganized in 1993. It is reported that the "signal flag" special forces usually carry out activities in classes, and the number of people in each class ranges from 10 to 30. When the situation is urgent, several classes can be quickly combined to form a larger force.

According to the data, during the war in Afghanistan, the "signal flag" has been active, and every province in Afghanistan has its action team. In addition, "Signal Flag" has conducted similar activities in Cuba, Syria, Vietnam, Mozambique, Angola and Nicaragua. In 1992, 10 members of the "signal flag" subdued 14 armed thugs in 10 seconds at the "three stations" subway station in Moscow, and seized $1 million in counterfeit US dollars. In 1993, the "signal flag" special forces successfully stopped a premeditated terrorist explosion outside Yekaterinburg. On July 16, 2023, five Russian "signal flag" special forces went deep behind enemy lines and carried out sabotage operations on an underground ammunition depot in Odessa.

The special forces of the internal affairs forces of the Russian Federation are under the jurisdiction of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, mainly including the 604 Special Operations Center, Rosic and other special forces. Among them, the 604 Special Operations Center was formed by the merger of the "Warrior" special forces and the "Ross" special forces. It is the core of the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is responsible for counter-terrorism and other tasks such as responding to domestic riots and prison riots. The special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have also made great achievements in many anti-terrorist operations, including the hostage incident in the Grand Theatre of Moscow Bearing Factory, and they also belong to one of the backbone of Russian anti-terrorist operations.

After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russian anti-terrorism forces also participated, which affected the domestic anti-terrorism capability to some extent. Although Russia discloses little information, it is generally believed that the fierce conflict between Russia and Ukraine has contained Russia’s anti-terrorism forces. According to media reports, on July 16, 2023, five Russian "signal flag" special forces went deep behind enemy lines and carried out sabotage operations on an underground ammunition depot in Odessa. It was reported that the Russian army had attacked the facility with cruise missiles before, but it was unsuccessful. In order to completely destroy the underground ammunition depot, the Russian army sent a sabotage team behind the enemy lines composed of five special warfare players to secretly approach the target and launch a surprise attack. After killing several defenders, the Russian army installed a timed explosive device to blow up the ammunition depot, and then all the staff returned to the station safely.

A rising star of Chechen special forces

In addition to the above troops, the Chechen special forces involved in the arrest of the suspects of the "concert hall terrorist attack" are also a rising star in the Russian anti-terrorism field.

After the Chechen war ended in 2001, local terrorist activities were very active. In order to effectively crack down on terrorist activities carried out by illegal organizations, while sending a large number of federal troops, the Russian central government also agreed to set up local armed forces subordinate to local leaders.

In order to stabilize the domestic situation, Chechen leader Kadyrov recruited 7,000-14,000 separatist militants in 2002 -2005, and incorporated some of them into the security department of the Republic. Only the independent patrol team of the Chechen Ministry of Internal Affairs has 10 companies (about 4,000 people). In order to effectively carry out anti-terrorism operations, Kadyrov established the Northern Battalion and the Southern Battalion in 2006. The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs gave them the official designations of Independent Special Battalion 248 and 249, and the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs also allocated 2 billion rubles for them. After the establishment of the two battalions, they were controlled by the 46th Mobu Brigade stationed in Chechnya by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Each battalion consists of three patrol companies, one reconnaissance company and one support unit, and the support unit consists of medical platoon, communication platoon and technical support platoon. The total number of the two battalions is more than 1,200, including more than 700 in the northern battalion, which is stationed in Grozny, the capital of the Chechen Republic, mainly to protect the security of the capital, and more than 500 in the southern battalion, which is stationed in Vijno area, which is adjacent to the Republic of Dagestan. The local terrorist activities are very active and cracked down.

At present, the "Ahmat" rapid reaction special force is a well-known Chechen unit, which belongs to the National Guard of the Russian Federation and is deployed in Chechnya. It was named "Ahmat" to commemorate the first Chechen President akhmad kadyrov. This special force was established in 2009, and its commander is the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Chechen Republic, Apti Arnold. After the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict broke out in February 2022, the "Ahmat" special forces participated in the war against Ukraine and achieved some results.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the main objectives and tasks of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" were successfully completed, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation took a big step forward. Premier Li Keqiang pointed out in his government work report in 2021 that during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, China’s economic and social development made new historic achievements. Ten sets of tax data fully reflect this point.  

In the past five years, the total tax reduction and fee reduction has exceeded 7.6 trillion yuan   The macro tax burden is decreasing year by year.

The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that tax reduction and fee reduction policies and measures should take root and let enterprises go into battle lightly. This year’s government work report showed the transcripts of tax reduction and fee reduction in 2020, which reduced the burden on market players by more than 2.6 trillion yuan, including 1.7 trillion yuan in social security fees. Statistics from the State Administration of Taxation show that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the scale of new tax reduction and fee reduction in five years totaled more than 7.6 trillion yuan.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council accurately implemented counter-cyclical economic adjustment and introduced a series of tax reduction and fee reduction policies in an orderly manner. In 2016-2018, we will comprehensively push forward the pilot reform of the camp, degenerate and reduce the value-added tax rate, and raise the standard of individual tax deduction. In 2019, a larger scale of tax reduction and fee reduction will be implemented. In 2020, seven batches of 28 preferential tax and fee policies will be introduced to support epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development. With the implementation of a series of tax reduction and fee reduction policies by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, China’s macro tax burden (that is, the proportion of tax revenue to GDP in general public budget revenue) was 17.47%, 17.35%, 17.01% and 16.02% respectively from 2016 to 2019, and further decreased to 15.2% in 2020, compared with 18% in 2015 at the end of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan.

Support for innovation and tax reduction totaled over 2.5 trillion yuan   Cultivate and expand new kinetic energy

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that independent innovation is an urgent requirement and an important support to promote high-quality development and kinetic energy conversion. We must create conditions and atmosphere, mobilize the enthusiasm of innovation in all aspects, and make every innovation fully generate. In this year’s government work report, Premier Li Keqiang pointed out that during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, China achieved fruitful results in building an innovative country. In recent years, the tax policies supporting scientific and technological innovation have been continuously optimized and improved, and the intensity of tax incentives for innovation has been continuously increased, which has effectively promoted enterprises to increase investment in R&D and guided innovative resources to gather in enterprises, which has played an important role in promoting the implementation of innovation-driven development strategy and the construction of an innovative country.

According to the tax data, during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the tax reduction and exemption amount of China’s tax policy to encourage scientific and technological innovation increased by 28.5% annually, and the accumulated tax reduction in five years was 2.54 trillion yuan. Tax incentives are more beneficial to manufacturing and high-tech service industries. Manufacturing, information transmission and information technology service industries, scientific research and technical service industries enjoy tax reductions totaling nearly 90%.

From the breakdown data, the number of enterprises enjoying the R&D expenses plus deduction policy in China has increased from 53,000 in 2015 to 339,000 in 2019, an increase of 5.4 times in five years; The tax reduction and exemption increased from 72.6 billion yuan to 355.2 billion yuan, and reached 360 billion yuan in 2020, with an average annual increase of 37.8%. The deduction of R&D expenses continued to increase, which effectively stimulated the R&D investment and innovation vitality of enterprises. The national R&D investment increased from 1.42 trillion yuan in 2015 to 2.44 trillion yuan in 2020, achieving double-digit annual growth and becoming the second largest R&D investment country in the world.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the support of various policies, including tax incentives, continued to increase, which effectively promoted the vigorous development of the new economy and new kinetic energy and accelerated the construction of a modern industrial system. According to the tax data, the industries related to the digital economy are growing rapidly. From 2016 to 2020, the tax revenue will grow at an average annual rate of 7.2%, which is 3 percentage points faster than the national overall level. According to the data of VAT invoices, during the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, the sales revenue of leading enterprises in the "four basics" industries such as core basic parts, advanced basic processes, key basic materials and industrial technology foundations increased from 1.09 trillion yuan in 2017 to 1.47 trillion yuan in 2020, with an average annual growth rate of 10.8%. The sales revenue of China’s high-tech industry increased by 21.3% annually, which was 5.1 percentage points higher than the national average, among which the sales revenue of high-tech service industry increased by 28% annually, which was 11.8 percentage points higher than the national average.

The green tax system is constantly improving   The comprehensive energy consumption intensity of key tax source enterprises decreased by 6.6%.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that it is necessary to firmly establish the concept of Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, promote green development, and fight for the defense of blue sky, clear water and pure land. This year’s government work report summarizes the achievements of China’s green development during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, pointing out that China’s pollution prevention and control efforts have increased, the efficiency of resource and energy utilization has improved significantly, and the ecological environment has improved significantly. In the process of promoting green development, the green tax system plays an important role. Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", focusing on the implementation of new development concepts, China has accelerated the reform of resource tax and environmental protection tax, promoted the rational development and utilization of resources and the clean and energy-saving production of enterprises, and successively issued a series of preferential policies, such as tax relief to support emission reduction and tax credit for equipment investment, to guide enterprises to increase green investment and take the initiative in green transformation, to accelerate the development of green industries and to help build a beautiful China.

In July 2016, the reform of resource tax ad valorem was pushed forward in an all-round way, and a direct linkage mechanism between tax revenue and resource price was established, which better played the role of tax adjustment and promoted the rational development and sustainable utilization of resources. During the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, the resource tax revenue totaled 750.9 billion yuan, an increase of 62.3% over the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, including 175.5 billion yuan in 2020, an increase of 72 billion yuan over 2015, with an average annual growth rate of 11.1%. In particular, the reform of water resource tax has optimized the water use structure and effectively curbed groundwater overexploitation. In 2020, the proportion of groundwater consumption in 10 pilot provinces such as Beijing and Hebei was 33.5%, which was 8 percentage points lower than that in 2016 before the reform. In the pilot provinces, the taxable groundwater intake in the over-exploited area in 2020 decreased by 19.3% compared with that in 2016; Since the reform, more than 8,000 taxpayers in the pilot provinces have stopped pumping groundwater and switched to surface water or tap water, shutting down more than 14,000 self-prepared wells.

The newly levied environmental protection tax has established a tax adjustment mechanism of "more emissions and more levies, less emissions and less levies, no emissions and no levies", and given tax relief incentives for low-standard emissions and centralized management, which effectively promoted the improvement of the ecological environment and green development. From 2018 to 2020, the environmental protection tax has accumulated to 63.15 billion yuan. In 2020, the emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, the main air pollutants of taxpayers paying environmental protection taxes, decreased by 42.5% and 28.7% respectively compared with 2017 before the reform; The chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen emissions of major water pollutants decreased by 54.5% and 35% respectively compared with 2017 before the reform.

According to the tax data, during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the amount of corporate income tax reduction by implementing investment credit policies including environmental protection equipment nationwide increased from 2.33 billion yuan in 2015 to 3.35 billion yuan in 2019, and it is expected to reach 3.5 billion yuan in 2020, with an average annual growth rate of 8.5%. This policy effectively guides enterprises to increase investment in technological transformation and environmental protection equipment. Since 2017, the invoice amount of environmental protection equipment purchased by enterprises nationwide has increased by 14.6% annually. The amount of preferential tax reduction for supporting emission reduction will increase by 7.2% in 2019 and 6% in 2020. Correspondingly, the comprehensive energy consumption intensity (per standard coal/operating income) of key tax source enterprises nationwide will decrease by 6.6% year-on-year. The increase and decrease reflect the positive incentive effect of tax reduction and exemption policies that guide environmental protection, and effectively play the positive role of tax leverage in controlling pollutant discharge.

The tax incentives for helping the poor increase by over 30% annually & ENSP; Helping to win the battle against poverty has achieved remarkable results.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader solemnly declared at the national summary and commendation meeting on poverty alleviation that China has won a comprehensive victory in the fight against poverty. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the tax authorities focused on the key areas and key links of poverty alleviation, such as ex situ poverty alleviation and relocation, employment of poor people, and poverty alleviation donations, and continuously increased tax policy support, fully released the tax reduction and fee reduction bonus, and supported the poverty alleviation. The amount of tax preferential policy relief increased from 26.3 billion yuan in 2015 to 74.2 billion yuan in 2019 and reached 102.2 billion yuan in 2020, with an average annual increase of 30.6%, making a positive contribution to resolutely winning the fight against poverty.

With the help of various precise poverty alleviation policies, poverty alleviation has achieved remarkable results, and the economy in poverty-stricken areas has accelerated. From the data of VAT invoices, from 2016 to 2020, the sales revenue of enterprises in 832 uncapped state-level poverty-stricken counties maintained rapid growth, with an average annual growth rate of 14.6%. Among them, the growth rate in 2016-2018 was 18.6%, 11.7% and 8.5% respectively, and it increased to 18.7% in 2019. Although affected by the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, it still maintained the level of 15.9%, which was 9.9 percentage points higher than the national average, reflecting the good development trend of enterprises in poverty-stricken counties.

Tax data show that leading enterprises in poverty alleviation have a good momentum of development. Since 2016, the total profits of leading enterprises in poverty alleviation have increased by 43.9% annually, and the average profit per household has expanded from 1.08 million yuan in 2015 to 6.73 million yuan in 2020. The profit rate of enterprise sales will increase from 10.4% in 2015 to 15.4% in 2020, among which the manufacturing industry and wholesale and retail industry will increase from 9.5% and 3.3% to 9.9% and 4.3% respectively. Judging from the number of leading poverty alleviation enterprises with annual profits exceeding 10 million yuan, the number of households in 2020 is 5.1 times that of 2015.

The newly established tax-related market entities have increased by over 10 million households annually   Entrepreneurial vitality is effectively stimulated

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that the market subject is the carrier of economic strength, and protecting the market subject means protecting social productive forces. We must do everything possible to protect market players and accumulate basic strength for economic development. Premier Li Keqiang emphasized that staying in the green hills will win the future. In recent years, large-scale tax reduction and fee reduction have deepened the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform, and the business environment has been continuously optimized, which has stimulated the vitality of market players and effectively promoted "mass entrepreneurship and innovation", and a large number of new market players have emerged. Statistics from the State Administration of Taxation show that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the number of tax-related market entities newly established in China increased by over 10 million every year, showing the characteristics of high activity, strong vitality and good growth, which effectively promoted the sustainable development of economy and society.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the number of tax-related market entities newly established in China totaled 57.453 million, an increase of 26.074 million or 83.1% over the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period. In the same period, 24.039 million tax-related market entities were cancelled nationwide, which was offset by the cancellation of new offices. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, there were 33.414 million tax-related market entities nationwide, an increase of 77.3% compared with the end of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan".

From the perspective of sub-industries, the proportion of modern service industry in the newly-established tax-related market has increased significantly, and the proportion of labor-intensive industries has decreased year by year. During the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, the proportion of newly established tax-related market entities in modern service industries such as leasing and business services, scientific research and technical services, information transmission and information technology services increased from 10%, 3.9% and 2.8% in 2015 to 13.7%, 5.5% and 3.8% in 2020 respectively. The proportion of newly established tax-related market entities in labor-intensive industries such as wholesale and retail, accommodation and catering is decreasing year by year, from 43.4% and 12.7% in 2015 to 37.3% and 7.6% in 2020 respectively.

The proportion of tertiary industry tax revenue increased to 58.1%  The development of new technology service industry was accelerated.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure is a key measure to improve the comprehensive competitiveness of China’s economy. According to the tax data, during the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, with the continuous improvement of the quality of China’s economic development, the tax revenue of the tertiary industry has steadily increased from 56.5% in 2016 to 58.1% in 2020, which is 3.3 percentage points higher than that in 2015 at the end of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period. Emerging industries have become a new growth point of tax revenue. The sales revenue of information transmission, software and information technology services has increased by 21.2% annually, which is significantly higher than the national overall level. The annual tax revenue has increased by 12.5%, which is 8.2 percentage points faster than the national tax revenue growth rate.

The private economy is developing rapidly   Sales revenue increased by 17.7% annually.

The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to the development of private economy. On November 1, 2018, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized at the private enterprise forum that China’s private economy can only grow and not weaken. Premier Li Keqiang pointed out that efforts should be made to support the development of private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises. Statistics from the State Administration of Taxation show that during the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, there were 56.005 million tax-related market entities in the newly-established private economy, accounting for 97.5% of all newly-established tax-related market entities, and its proportion increased year by year, from 96.3% in 2015 to 98.7% in 2020, becoming the main force of newly-established tax-related market entities.

The data of VAT invoice shows that the private economy developed rapidly during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. From 2016 to 2020, the sales revenue of private economy increased by 17.7% annually, which was 1.5 percentage points higher than the national average. Among them, private enterprises and individual businesses grew rapidly, with an average annual growth rate of 22.5% and 20% respectively. The tax contribution of the private economy is also constantly improving. In 2020, the tax paid by the private economy accounted for 60.1% of the national tax revenue, an increase of 8.6 percentage points compared with 51.5% in 2015, which became an important support for stabilizing the national tax revenue.

From the perspective of sub-industries, the private manufacturing industry continues to grow and develop, and the proportion of sales revenue continues to increase. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the sales revenue of manufacturing private enterprises increased by 14.7% annually, and the proportion of sales revenue increased by 6.7 percentage points. Private economy is the power source of economic endogenous growth, and this structural change also reflects the gradual shift of manufacturing industry to endogenous growth.

As the main force of China’s scientific and technological innovation, the private economy has continuously enhanced its innovation ability. Especially after the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech at the private enterprise forum at the end of 2018, private enterprises have been innovative and energetic in generate, and their development has accelerated. According to the tax data, the proportion of private high-tech enterprises in the national high-tech enterprises increased from 92.1% in 2018 to 92.4% in 2020, and the proportion of private high-tech enterprises in the national high-tech enterprises increased from 66.2% in 2018 to 70% in 2020.

Manufacturing sales revenue increased by 11.2% annually & ENSP; High-tech manufacturing industry continues to grow and develop.

Manufacturing is the foundation of a country and a strong country. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made a series of important instructions on the transformation and upgrading of "Made in China", emphasizing the high-quality development of manufacturing industry in a more prominent position. Premier Li Keqiang called for strengthening the industrial foundation, especially the manufacturing foundation, and expanding new kinetic energy. According to the data of VAT invoice, China’s manufacturing industry continued to grow and develop during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, especially the high-tech manufacturing industry achieved rapid development, and the integration of manufacturing industry with information technology and science and technology service industry promoted each other. From 2016 to 2020, the sales revenue of manufacturing enterprises in China increased by 11.2% annually. High-tech manufacturing industry is the highlight of manufacturing industry development during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, and the cumulative sales revenue has more than doubled, with an average annual growth rate of 15.1%. Some key products of automation, digitalization and intelligence have achieved breakthroughs, and their sales revenues have increased substantially. For example, the sales revenues of key products such as robots, industrial control systems, integrated circuits and optoelectronic devices have all exceeded 2 times, and the sales revenues of important equipment such as medical diagnostic equipment and new energy vehicles have also increased more than 2 times.

The tax revenue in the central and western regions accounts for more than 30%   Regional development is more coordinated.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that China’s economy has shifted from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, which has put forward new requirements for coordinated regional development. This year’s government work report pointed out that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, major regional strategies were solidly promoted. Tax data show that regional development is more coordinated. From 2016 to 2020, the proportion of tax revenue in the central region increased from 15.6% to 16.5%, an increase of 0.9 percentage points; The proportion of tax revenue in the western region increased from 18.4% to 19%, an increase of 0.6 percentage points, and the total proportion in the central and western regions was 35.5%, an increase of 1.5 percentage points, further narrowing the gap with the eastern region.

Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", China’s regional tax policy system has been continuously optimized and accurately exerted, which has played an important role in promoting the coordinated development of the eastern and western regions. Two rounds of preferential policies for the development of the western region have promoted the development of markets, industries and enterprises in the western region. The threshold of the third round of preferential tax policies implemented from 2021 will be further lowered, which will benefit more market players. The amount of corporate income tax reduced by preferential policies for the development of the western region increased from 52.85 billion yuan in 2015 to 100.69 billion yuan in 2019, and remained at 100 billion yuan in 2020, with an average annual growth rate of 13.6%.

With the support of various policies, including tax policy, the regional development strategy has achieved remarkable results. The VAT invoice data shows that since the second quarter of 2020, the economy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt has continued to recover, showing strong development resilience.

The accumulated export tax rebate exceeds 7 trillion yuan   In order to stabilize foreign trade, "come on and run"

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to promote the innovation and development of foreign trade and promote a higher level of opening up. Foreign trade is an important part of China’s open economy and an important driving force for national economic development. In order to further expand opening to the outside world and stabilize the basic foreign trade, during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, China repeatedly raised the export tax rebate rate to help enterprises cope with the impact of Sino-US trade friction and the negative impact of the global epidemic. According to statistics, in the past five years, the total export tax rebate has increased from 1,174.2 billion yuan in 2016 to 1,454.9 billion yuan in 2020, with an average annual increase of 2.6%. In the past five years, the accumulated export tax rebate has been 7,073.6 billion yuan, which effectively reduced the cost of foreign trade enterprises and promoted the steady growth of foreign trade exports.

At the same time, the tax authorities have promoted a number of facilitation measures in a coordinated manner, continuously simplified the tax refund process, compressed the time limit for tax refund processing, and accelerated the progress of export tax refund. The average processing time for normal export tax refund in China has been reduced from 13 working days in 2018 to 10 working days in 2019, and then reduced to 8 working days in 2020, thus alleviating the pressure on enterprises to occupy funds.

The "14th Five-Year Plan" has been launched, and the tax authorities will continue to adhere to the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, conscientiously implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, base themselves on the new development stage, implement the new development concept and serve the new development pattern, promote the tax modernization in the new development stage with high quality, and give full play to the basic, pillar and supportive role of taxation in state governance. At the same time, we will further make full use of tax big data, fully reflect the economic and social development in a timely manner, make suggestions for the decision-making of party committees and governments at all levels, and contribute more tax power to building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

CCTV News:Spring Festival travel rush will come to an end in 2018. In the army of security in Spring Festival travel rush, there is a force that cannot be ignored, that is, security inspectors who are responsible for security inspection and danger work.

In Spring Festival travel rush, for the sake of a safe, orderly and warm travel environment in Spring Festival travel rush, 155 Beijing Railway Station security inspectors gave up the Spring Festival to reunite with their families and all stuck to their posts. Thanks to their efforts, during the period of Spring Festival travel rush this year, the security inspection brigade of Beijing Railway Station seized more than 13,000 prohibited items and 3.5 grams of ice on the spot.

After the start of Spring Festival travel rush, the security inspection brigade of Beijing Railway Station strictly followed the work deployment, strictly implemented the security inspection system, and adopted measures such as increasing security inspection channels and releasing passengers by stages, which not only ensured the speed of passengers entering the station, but also ensured that the security inspection rate did not decline, and sent security guides to make the security inspection area in good order, put an end to criminal cases in the security inspection department, and ensured the personal and property safety of passengers and the blocking of dangerous goods under cars outside the station.

At 7: 13 on February 17, Zhang Tian, a security inspector at Beijing Railway Station, seized 11 firecrackers in the upper pocket of a passenger section during the hand inspection of No.5 machine at the entrance. According to Duan, firecrackers were bought for children and used for holidays. Knowing that they could not be taken on the train, they had to go through security inspection, so they were put in their upper pockets. Unexpectedly, they were still checked out by security inspectors. The police criticized and educated Duan’s luck, and confiscated those who violated the rules.

At 8: 45 on February 11th, when Ren Chunyu, a security inspector, inspected a female passenger about 30 years old by hand, she suddenly found a round box-shaped article in her coat pocket and asked her to take it out for inspection. The passenger said to himself, "Lighters are not allowed." Then he turned around and got off the security desk. I don’t know what the man who was traveling with me said, and his expression was tangled and he kept stamping his feet. The woman’s abnormal behavior aroused Ren Chunyu’s high vigilance, and she quietly watched the woman’s every move. The female passenger took an item out of her pocket and threw it into the trash can, and then came back to check the station again. Then Ren Chunyu immediately asked her colleagues to take her place. She ran to the trash can on the west side of the hall and picked up a black round box thrown by the lady. There were several small transparent plastic bags with powdery white crystals and a plastic tube inside. She suspected that it might be methamphetamine and immediately reported the situation. Accordingly, the Beijing station police station cooperated with relevant units to crack the case of the suspect Wang smoking and carrying. And follow the trail, arrested three people involved again, and collected 8.9 grams of drugs.

Inspectors not only abide by their duties and safeguard safety, but also actively solve problems for the majority of passengers. Over the years, security instruments have been a high-risk area for passengers to lose their property. In order to avoid passengers’ losses, security inspectors try to find the owner in the shortest time by finding, handling and reporting.

According to statistics, in Spring Festival travel rush in 2018, the Beijing Railway Station police station recovered more than 350 pieces of lost luggage for passengers, worth more than 400,000 yuan. At 16: 15 on March 9, Lou Xing Yu, a security inspector at Beijing Railway Station, found a black satchel on the security instrument of No.1 ticket office. Later, I opened the bag with Liu Jianjun, the captain of the first team on duty, and found that there were 6,000 yuan in cash and daily necessities in the bag. Through the station broadcast, I finally found the careless owner, Ms. Zheng. (Ma Jianpeng)

At present, the real estate market generally has a positive boosting trend, and the signs of recovery in first-tier cities and new first-tier cities are becoming more and more obvious.

Xu Qian, reporter of China Housing News, reports from Beijing.

There is a rare collective surge in real estate stocks.

After the A-share market opened in the morning on April 29th, real estate stocks continued to rise. At the close, the real estate development sector rose by 6.39%. 15 real estate stocks have a daily limit of 10%, including Vanke A, gemdale, Huaxia Happiness, Rong Sheng Development, Jinbin Development, Dalong Real Estate, Jingneng Real Estate, Daming City, Sunshine Shares, Nanshan Holdings, Fuxing Shares, China Wuyi, Tiandiyuan and Rongan Real Estate.

There were 15 real estate stocks that rose more than 9% but did not reach 10% that day, including Xincheng Holdings, Greenland Holdings, Qixia Construction, Dima Shares, and Shoukai Shares. There are as many as 64 real estate stocks that have increased by more than 5%.

The real estate sector of Hong Kong stocks also strengthened. Hang Seng Mainland real estate index rose by over 4%, Huijing Holdings soared by nearly 52% in intraday trading, Fantasia Holdings, Jing Rui Holdings and China Aoyuan all rose by over 40%, Kaisa Group rose by over 30%, Sunac China and Zhengrong Real Estate rose by over 20%, Xuhui Holding Group rose by 18% and Agile Group rose by over 15%.

The sectors closely related to real estate also ushered in a sharp rise. For example, the real estate service sector rose by 8.5% on the same day, and stocks represented by World Bank, I love my family and Tianbao Infrastructure all ushered in a batch daily limit.

At the close of this day, the Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.79% to 3,113.04 points, returning to above 3,100 points; The Shenzhen Component Index rose 2.22% to close at 9673.76 points; Growth enterprise market index rose 3.5% to close at 1887.57 points; Beizheng 50 rose 0.8% to close at 815.19 points. The turnover in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets was about 1,211 billion yuan, an increase of about 125 billion yuan over the previous trading day.

From the news point of view, the favorable support policies for the property market in various places have been introduced one after another recently, and the loosening of "purchase restriction" has become the main trend, releasing a loose signal to the market.

On April 18, Changsha announced that it would no longer examine the qualifications of buyers for buying houses within the city, and the official policy of restricting purchases for seven years was cancelled.

On April 22, Beijing refined the policy of buying a house after divorce, and relaxed it again on the basis of abolishing "you can’t buy a house in Beijing within three years of divorce", stipulating that as long as you have no house in Beijing under your name and buy a house within one year of divorce, the first home credit policy will be implemented.

On April 24, there was also market news in Shenzhen. Shenzhen may optimize and adjust the purchase restriction policy in the peripheral areas at an appropriate time, but the news has not been confirmed by the Housing and Construction Bureau.

On April 26th, Nanjing issued the Notice on Matters Related to the Settlement of Legally Stable Residence (Draft for Comment), which mentioned that the conditions for settlement will be further relaxed, and non-Nanjing household registration personnel who have legally stable residence in Nanjing and actually live can directly settle down.

On April 28, Chengdu also announced the liberalization of the housing purchase restriction policy. Housing transactions within the city will no longer review the purchase conditions such as household registration and social security, and will no longer limit the number of purchases.

This means that after Chengdu has become a hot provincial capital city such as Wuhan, Hefei, Nanjing and Changsha, it is another city that has fully liberalized housing purchase restrictions. Up to now, except Hainan Province, among the core cities, four first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and core areas such as Hangzhou (new house), Tianjin and Xi ‘an still maintain the purchase restriction policy.

"The whole region has withdrawn from the purchase restriction, which is the common choice of second-tier cities in recent times, and it is expected to cover other cities next. Under the background of systematically planning to stabilize the property market policy, strengthening the local main responsibility and the new housing market falling short of expectations in the first quarter, the motivation for local rescue is stronger. " Li Yujia, chief researcher of the Housing Policy Research Center of Guangdong Urban and Rural Planning Institute, said.

At present, the real estate market generally has a positive boosting trend, and the signs of recovery in first-tier cities and new first-tier cities are becoming more and more obvious.

Shanghai property market luxury "hot sale" news continues to spread. According to CRIC data, the transaction scale of high-end residential buildings with a total price of more than 20 million yuan in Shanghai in the first quarter was the highest in a single quarter since 2016. Among them, 1,079 sets were sold in March, a year-on-year increase of more than four times.

The Shenzhen property market also showed signs of recovery. In March, the number of second-hand housing transactions reached 4,547, up 115.13% from the previous month. As of April 15th, the number of second-hand housing transactions in Shenzhen reached 2,067, exceeding the same period in March.

According to the statistics of official website of Beijing Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, in March this year, the number of online signing of second-hand houses in Beijing was 14,280, up by 125.5% month-on-month, and it also broke through the "threshold" of 12,000 sets, setting the highest point in the past year.

The action of some real estate enterprises in danger is accelerating. On April 29th, Xuhui announced that it had reached an agreement with the bondholders’ group on the comprehensive plan in principle.

According to previous years’ experience, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party will be held on April 30th to make arrangements for the next real estate work.

The day before this important meeting, the stock market soared, partly because of some news from the market scene. According to the news, the real estate policy may undergo directional changes, and more favorable policies may be introduced around the property market destocking, such as further liberalizing purchase restrictions, liberalizing price restrictions, and reducing transaction costs such as deed tax.

This day, real estate stocks rose sharply, which also showed that everyone expected to further emphasize the judgment of loose property market, and market confidence is being repaired. Whether it is the property market or real estate stocks, the bottom may not be far away.

Suddenly, it is rare for foreign giants to sing more about China real estate market. "After three years of bearish, thanks to the government’s assistance, we became more optimistic about the real estate industry in China for the first time. The real estate industry in China is preparing for a slow recovery. " John Lam, head of real estate research in UBS Greater China, said in an interview recently.

　　Get together for divorce after the year? Is there a long queue at the divorce office of the Civil Affairs Bureau? Recently, a number of videos circulated on the Internet showed that the divorce registration offices of civil affairs bureaus in some areas "exploded" after the Spring Festival, and there were even rumors that divorce teams in some areas lined up at the door of civil affairs bureaus.

　　At present, some of the above videos have been officially rumored. The reporter also learned from the Marriage Registry of the Civil Affairs Bureau of many places that the number of divorcees in some areas did increase after the Chinese New Year because they did not handle business, but there was no long queue, and some areas replied that there was no increase, and even the number of married people was more than the number of divorced people … …

　　It is nothing new that the divorce rate has gradually increased in the past 20 years. The reporter found out that from 2003 to 2019, China’s national crude divorce rate (the ratio of annual divorce to total population, usually expressed in thousandths) suddenly rose, and the number of divorce registrations nearly quadrupled during this period. Although it is not really a trend to choose divorce after the year, some people in the team that handles divorce after the year admit that the reason why they specially make an appointment for divorce after the year is to have a New Year’s Eve dinner with their children and bilateral parents without leaving any final regrets.

　　one

　　Is there a wave of divorce after the holiday?

　　Multi-local Civil Affairs Bureau responded:

　　The number of divorces has not increased sharply.

　　On January 28th, a video released by a man in Fuyang, Anhui Province was circulated on the Internet, showing that only two couples got married in Yingshang County Civil Affairs Bureau of Fuyang, but the divorce team was outside the Civil Affairs Bureau. For a time, the topic of getting together for divorce after the year triggered a heated discussion on the Internet.

　　But soon, Yingshang County Civil Affairs Bureau issued a rumor statement on January 30, calling the short video content a rumor. In the statement, it was explained that the contents of the video were all located at the marriage registration window on the first floor, and the people in the queue were all people who registered for marriage, while the divorce registration window was on the second floor. The information video was a diversion and confusing.

　　Coincidentally, another netizen also recently released a video of a long queue at the entrance of the divorce room of Poyang County Civil Affairs Bureau in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province. Accordingly, a staff member of Shangrao Civil Affairs Bureau in Jiangxi told the reporter that the specific situation in the video is being verified, but from the marriage registration data of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the divorce business volume is not much different from that before.

　　Is the peak of divorce after the year real? The reporter learned about the relevant situation from the Marriage Registry of the Civil Affairs Bureau of many places. On the whole, a number of civil affairs bureau staff said: "The number of people who handle marriage and divorce has indeed increased after the year, but the overall situation is still in a stable period."

　　On January 31, a staff member of the marriage registration office of a district civil affairs bureau in Jinan told the reporter: "According to the working hours that morning, the number of people applying for divorce business is 5 pairs, and the number of people applying for marriage business is 3 pairs. In a normal state, there is no such thing as a peak period of marriage and divorce. "

　　However, Ms. Wu, a citizen of Yangzhou, told the reporter: "I went through the divorce procedure on the third day after the year, and there was indeed a queue, but there was no big queue ‘ Changlong ’ 。” Ms. Wu said that she did not deliberately choose to divorce after the year, but the appointment date and number of people before the year were full, just making an appointment on the third day after the year.

　　Ms. Wu told the reporter that she went to the local civil affairs bureau for divorce at about 10 am that day, and the queue time did not exceed one hour. "There may be a queue because the business is not handled during the Chinese New Year, so it will be handled later in the year, and the number of people will naturally increase."

　　The operator of the marriage registration office of a district civil affairs bureau in Hangzhou also gave the same answer. "Although there are no recent detailed statistics, the number of divorces and marriages will generally increase after the year." The operator explained that this was because the Civil Affairs Bureau did not handle business during the Chinese New Year, which led to a backlog of applications for marriage and divorce. This is a normal phenomenon, there is no obvious sharp increase, and it is still in a stable period.

　　In addition, the reporter also called several marriage registration offices in Haidian District, Beijing and Heping District, Tianjin. The staff in these areas all said that the number of people who handled divorce after the holiday did not increase significantly. Among them, the Civil Affairs Bureau of Zhengzhou, Henan Province proposed that the number of applications for divorce by the Civil Affairs Bureau did not increase sharply after the year, but the number of people who came to get married increased a lot.

　　Marriage service industry practitioners:

　　Who to go back to for the New Year, how to share housework, etc.

　　Divorce promoter in adulthood

　　Although it is a coincidence that Ms. Wu divorced after the year. However, in order to eat the last reunion dinner, some people deliberately chose to go through the divorce formalities after the year.

　　"We originally agreed to divorce at the end of December, 2022, but we wanted to take our children to have the last reunion dinner on both sides, so we decided the date of divorce after the year."

　　Ms. Liang, 39, went through the divorce procedure in Wuxi on the afternoon of January 31. She told reporters that she finished the processing that morning, and there was no long queue. But when talking about her divorce, Ms. Liang still choked.

　　Ms. Liang, who has been married for nearly 10 years, and her ex-husband have a daughter: "Although the child is only 6 years old, she already knows the meaning of divorce and is very sad." Although the child was eventually raised by Ms. Liang, her daughter’s disappointment with her father was also in her eyes. In order to make up for the lack of children and explain to bilateral parents face to face, Ms. Liang finally agreed with her ex-husband to choose the divorce date after the year.

　　During the Chinese New Year, Ms. Liang and her ex-husband took their daughters to have a reunion dinner at her husband’s house and her mother’s house, respectively, and expressed their gratitude to their parents. In Ms. Liang’s view: "There is no deep hatred between our husband and wife when they go to divorce, but the concept is not harmonious." And this last reunion dinner is also Ms. Liang’s unwillingness to leave regrets for herself and her family.

　　"In fact, the number of people who consult for divorce during the Chinese New Year and apply for divorce after the year will indeed increase." Mr. Huang, the person in charge of a marriage rescue and service center, said in an interview that from the nearly three years since the establishment of his company, he can clearly feel that the business volume of the company is relatively large at the end of each year and the beginning of each year.

　　According to Mr. Huang, some of the businesses of the Marriage Rescue and Service Center he runs are to help couples rebuild their marriage and solve various problems encountered in marriage. "Judging from the cases we have encountered, problems during the Chinese New Year, especially those involving who is in the New Year, getting along with the elders during the New Year, sharing housework during the Spring Festival, etc., can all be the driving force for the breakdown of marriage."

　　In Mr. Huang’s memory, a man once suggested that he wanted to take his wife back to her husband’s house in the village for the New Year, and during the New Year, his wife took on a lot of housework, and finally his wife had the idea of divorce. According to Mr. Huang, because of the custom of his hometown, the man has taken his wife back to his husband’s house for the New Year’s Eve many times, and he can’t return to his mother’s house until the second day of the New Year’s Eve. This has also caused his wife’s dissatisfaction for many years. In addition, during the Chinese New Year, the family banquets at home are also handled by the wife and mother-in-law. For a long time, the wife complained.

　　Under the persuasion of Mr. Huang, the man’s marriage did not break down in the end. However, some couples failed to get together because of various complicated things during the Spring Festival. Even after the cooling-off period of divorce, they finally chose to divorce after the Spring Festival.

　　Sociologist:

　　Avoid impulsive divorce

　　Relevant social services need to be institutionalized.

　　The rising divorce rate is no longer a new topic. Since 2003, China’s divorce rate has started to rise. The reporter combed the data of the crude divorce rate released by the National Bureau of Statistics in the past 10 years and found that from 2003 to 2019, the national divorce rate has increased significantly, but since 2020, the divorce rate has dropped significantly.

　　Statistics over the years show that in 2003, the number of registered divorces reached 1.33 million, and the crude divorce rate was 1.05&permil. Since then, it has been on the rise; By 2016, the number of divorce registrations rose to 4,158,200 couples, and the national crude divorce rate reached 3.00&permil for the first time; Above; Until 2019, the number of registered divorces reached 4,700,600, and the national crude divorce rate rose to 3.36‰ It has become the peak of divorce in the past 10 years.

　　From 2003 to 2019, why did China’s divorce rate rise continuously in these 16 years? Wen Jun, dean and professor of the School of Social Development of East China Normal University, told reporters that there are several reasons behind this.

　　First, from a macro perspective, due to the accelerated pace of social changes and transformation, the traditional division of labor between husband and wife and family structure have been impacted, and more and more women have taken up jobs, their social status has been improved, and their economic subordination has been reduced, which has immediately broken the family stability and raised the possibility of divorce to a certain extent;

　　Secondly, from the microscopic point of view, people’s ideological emancipation brought about by social progress has changed their understanding of traditional marriage, and they no longer think that divorce is a bad behavior, which also makes more people dare to pursue personal happiness and say no to low-quality marriage, thus increasing the possibility of divorce.

　　In Wen Jun’s view, behind the high divorce rate, it also reflects the crux of China’s social organization, interpersonal network construction and insufficient level of community public services. "Especially for young people’s impulsive divorce, apart from administrative intervention, we still lack effective social services to resolve it, and the excellent solutions provided by social organizations and even emotional counseling and counseling are still insufficient.

　　However, the reporter also noticed that after 2019, the divorce rate in China gradually went downhill. By 2020, the number of divorce registrations will drop from over 4.7 million couples to 4.339 million couples, and the crude divorce rate will drop to 3.09‰ ; In 2021, it dropped to 2,839,300 couples, and the crude divorce rate dropped to 2.01‰ .

　　In this regard, in Wen Jun’s view, the decline of divorce data after 2019 conforms to the law of social development. "China’s divorce rate rose for 16 years and then fell back, indicating that it has reached its peak in the past year and began to transition to a stable state." In addition, Wen Jun said that the setting of the cooling-off period for divorce also provided "soil" for the decline of divorce rate in recent years to some extent.

　　In Wen Jun’s view, in order to avoid the phenomenon of impulsive divorce after the year, social services in various places should keep up, and gradually incorporate community emotional mobilization, marriage counseling, community adjustment and psychological and emotional construction into the institutionalized construction.

Since ancient times, it has been rich in Pukui and is known as Kwai Township.

Xinhui people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty

I started planting sunflower as a fan.

Is the representative of Xinhui Kuiyi.

Making a sunflower fan

More than twenty processes are needed.

Planting sunflower, picking sunflower, drying sunflower,

Baking fan, cutting fan, cutting fan, closing fan …

On the coast of the South China Sea, the west bank of the Pearl River and the bank of Yinzhou Lake, there is a famous cultural city with a long history-Xinhui. Xinhui is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese, and it is also known as "Kwai Township" because it is rich in Pukui. Xinhui sunflower art has a long history, and the planting and processing of sunflower trees began in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After more than a thousand years’ exploration, Xinhui people have integrated knitting, embroidery, painting and printing, making the processing of sunflower art products reach a superb position. In the most prosperous period of sunflower industry, Xinhui has more than 300 sunflower factories and more than 500 varieties of colors, and its products are exported to Europe, America and Southeast Asian countries.

At the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Qu Dajun wrote in "Guangdong Xinyu Pu Kui Fan": "The edge is made of the silk of wild silkworm, embedded with the piece of Bai Lin, the handle is made of the brand of Qinglang, wrapped with the thread of dragon beard and rattan, painted with copper nails, and the painting is gorgeous."

In 1958, Premier Zhou Enlai visited Xinhui and made a special trip to Kwai Art Factory, and spoke highly of Kwai craft products in Xinhui. When Guo Moruo visited Xinhui in 1959, he praised the sunflower fan technology: "The cool world comes from the hands, and it is more skillful than the ghost axe, flying all over the world and overwhelming the west wind." Guan Shanyue, a great master of Lingnan School of Painting, tried to "brand fire painting" for more than 60 times, but because he couldn’t grasp the strength of the soldering iron, he burned the fan every time. Finally, he had to throw a sigh of "branding": What a stunt!

The main products of Xinhui sunflower art include sunflower fan, sunflower basket, sunflower mat, cushion and sunflower coir. Besides, Xinhui sunflower art can also make a painting, a lantern and a screen, which has great plasticity.

Among them, the craft sunflower fan is the most famous one with pyrography and embroidery, which is one of the four traditional crafts in Guangdong. Fire painting fan is recorded in the records of Daoguang County in Qing Dynasty. Chen Wan, an old painter at the end of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, pushed the skill of fire painting fan to the peak. In 1915, a sunflower fan in Xinhui won the gold medal in Panama International Expo. In 1952, it was listed as a special handicraft by the state, and also won the first "Hundred Flowers Award" of China Ministry of Light Industry and other national awards.Xinhui Kuiyi was selected into the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2008.

　　Magpies can be said to be the most common birds in rural areas of Guanzhong, especially in the countryside near the northern foot of Qinling Mountains, on the big trees in front of and behind people’s houses, and among the branches on the banks of ditches in rural areas. Magpie looks very festive, with a round head, a pointed beak, a fat body, a long tail and feathers in black, white, blue and purple, which can be said to be loved by everyone. What the villagers like best is its chirping sound, which they think is an auspicious sound. "When the magpies chirp, the guests will come", which is a favorite saying in our village.

　　I also like magpies for two reasons. First, I have lived in the countryside since I was a child. Magpies are more common and seen, just like my neighbors. When I am familiar with them, I am happy. Second, I think this kind of bird looks good and sounds good, unlike sparrows, which gather in groups in front of people’s eaves all day, chattering, making people upset, and sometimes harming crops and making people hate it. Nor is it like an owl, whose voice is sharp and harsh, such as a sharp instrument crossing a slate.

　　In my memory, magpies are the most common in spring and winter, but they don’t seem to be seen much in summer. This may be the reason why the magpie’s whereabouts are not easy to be found in summer. In spring, magpies can often be seen in Yuan Ye, my hometown. They jump in the wheat field one by one, head by head, and look very fun; Or while chirping, slowly fly from tree to tree, and the tail feathers draw a beautiful arc. This season, magpies’ nests are also easier to find, mostly on tall poplars. Walking in the countryside, when I look up, you will see huge magpie nests, crouching peacefully among the treetops of Gao Yang willow trees, as if they were pieces of art.. The sky is pure and blue, not stained with a trace of dust. At this time, there may be wind, and the nest will gently shake with the wind.

　　Although it shakes, there is no need to worry that the nest will be blown down by the wind, because magpies are masters of nesting. I have lived in the country for many years, and I have seen many bird nests, such as those of swallows, sparrows and turtledoves … I think they are not as beautiful and strong as those of magpies. Sparrows make a nest out of a mess of grass. Sometimes, they don’t even build such a simple nest, but live directly under the eaves of others or among the trees. Swallows’ nests are exquisite, but they are also built on the beams of other people’s houses, and they like to use old nests, which are neither as big as magpie’s nests nor as beautiful as magpie’s nests. As for the doves’ nests, they are mostly built in the oblique branches of the trunk of a big tree, which is not only sloppy, but also extremely unsafe. When I was a teenager, I saw more than once that the village children climbed the tree to dig out the nest of the turtledove, and the turtledove flew around the tree in shock. Magpies, on the other hand, have no such worries. Their nests are mostly at the top of big trees, and village children can’t climb them. Even if they climbed up, because the branches at the top of the tree were too thin, the children were afraid of breaking the branches and falling to the ground, and did not dare to climb to the top to dig out the magpie nest. What’s more, the villagers also forbid children to climb the tree and dig out the magpie nest. Therefore, it is very natural that magpies are more common in their hometown.

　　In spring and summer, magpies are busy building nests, laying eggs and brooding, but in autumn, magpies seem to be more relaxed. This season, the young magpies have grown up, so they don’t need to be fed. There is plenty of food in the field, and they can eat without much effort. The full magpies are singing and playing in the fields, or in the big trees in front of and behind people’s houses.

Last winter, I went to Fengyukou, Qinling Mountain to play. By the Hongcao River, I unexpectedly met a large group of magpies. They were screaming and laughing, jumping and pecking in a mountainous area. That carefree, makes me fascinated. I was excited for a long time, and I stopped in a hurry and watched it quietly for a while. At that moment, my heart seemed to have returned to my familiar hometown and my distant childhood. In a trance, I saw my kind grandmother take a big red window cut of a magpie and stick it on the pane. And outside the window, it is a place of snow, a tree of Qiongzhi.
