Author: Wang Qiji ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ "When the tide ebbs, you know who is swimming naked". -Buffett’s COVID-19 made time freeze, and at the same time, it also made some entrepreneurs who had pressed the fast forward button show their true colors, which made people think. The second-hand recycling platform loves recycling, perhaps one of them. The Spring Festival in 2020 seems to be a watershed, which has changed many people and may also change the fate of many enterprises in the future. On January 9, 2020, Hurun Research Institute released "2019 Hurun China Top 500 Private Enterprises", ranking 468 th in love recycling; However, before the Spring Festival, there were rumors that Zheng Fujiang, a recycling partner, left his job and his cash flow was tight. Employees who leave their jobs with love recycling said on social platforms that Zheng Yujiang chose to leave his job before the Spring Festival and love recycling. After the Spring Festival, some people in the investment circle also broke the news that they had signs of leaving. At the same time, love recycling was also revealed by employees: the company’s five insurances and one gold in January 2020 have not been paid yet. What is the real situation? GPLP rhinoceros finance conducted a verification.

　　Zheng Yujiang, president of Chuanai Recycling, left?

　　

　　Has Zheng Fujiang retired from his job? GPLP Rhino Finance hereby calls itself for verification, but it is denied by the other party, and no further explanation is given. So what’s going on inside employees and in the investment circle? Judging from the information collected so far, everything is not groundless. On February 11th, 2020, on the platform of Love Recycling Enterprise-"Love Recycling Fresh Release" WeChat, an article called "Let’s Work Hard"
The article "Walking Against the Wind-Opening Meeting and Headlines of Love Recycling" shows that Chen Xuefeng, founder and ＆CEO of Love Recycling, and Wang Yongliang, partner and co-president of Love Recycling, all delivered relevant speeches, but only Zheng Fujiang was missing.

　　On January 22nd, GPLP Rhino Finance didn’t find Zheng Fujiang to speak in the annual meeting of Love Recycling.

　　There are indications that, as an important member of the recycling-loving senior management, even though Zheng Fujiang denied that he didn’t leave his job and love recycling, something may have happened inside this startup. According to public information, in the first half of 2016, Zheng Fujiang, a former CMO of Huawei China District, joined Airecycling. In the past four years, he has made great contributions to the expansion of Airecycling and has been loved by many internal employees. "Its internal prestige is very high," disclosed by people in the investment circle who have been in contact with recycling. It is reported that after joining Love Recycling, Zheng Fujiang once built an offline cooperation channel network of Love Recycling. According to public information, during Zheng Yujiang’s four years of love recycling, love recycling has 300 direct stores in the core business districts of first-tier cities, and besides direct stores, love recycling also has seven operation centers including Hong Kong, Shanghai, Changzhou, Chengdu and Wuhan, with a total operating area of over 40,000 square meters. According to the data released by Love Recycling, the company actually has more than 600 stores and thousands of employees in the country, with more than 1,000 employees only at the peak of the staff. It can be said that it is Zheng Fujiang’s joining that makes love recycling have the offline leg. Is it leaving now, or is it gradually fading out? Or just the job responsibilities have been adjusted? Regarding the follow-up developments, GPLP Rhino Finance will continue to pay attention.

　　Love recycling, tight cash flow?

　　An unexpected event after the Spring Festival in 2020 really surprised everyone. Similarly, this also includes love recycling. In this regard, in the internal enterprise platform of Love Recycling, "Love Recycling Fresh Release" is about "Gathering Hard Work"
In the WeChat of Walking Against the Wind, Chen Xuefeng, the founder and ＆CEO of Airecycling, said that "to live is to be strong", and the goal of Airecycling Q2 is to approach the break-even point of the group and achieve full profit in the second half of the year.

　　At the same time, Chen Xuefeng also said, "In the face of cruel figures and reality, we must make worse plans." "We carefully predict that at least in the next 3-6 months, all walks of life will face a crisis of life and death, which is far more severe than Sars in 2003. Then, can love recycling survive this life-and-death crisis and cruel figures and reality, as executives say, "live"? This will test the cash flow of love recycling. However, regarding the cash flow of recycling, it seems that it is not optimistic from the current information of all parties.

　　According to its employees who broke the news on social platforms, as of February 19, 2020, Love Recycling has not issued its five insurances and one gold to employees in January. Is this true? At present, its official has not responded. However, before it gives the goal of achieving breakeven in Q2, GPLP Rhino Finance can judge that the current love recycling has not achieved breakeven and is obviously at a loss, and the current operation should mainly rely on financing. In this regard, in "Let’s work hard"
In the article "Walking Against the Wind", Chen Xuefeng, the founder & ＆CEO of Love Recycling, also publicly stated, "Last Friday, we had clearly won the strong support of JD.COM for the first time. Therefore, there is a big tree behind JD.COM. What are we panicking about?" However, can investment institutions solve the problems of enterprises and various cash flows? I’m afraid this is a bit difficult. On June 3, 2019, Airecycling announced that JD.COM Group General Airecycling had a new round of financing and strategic integration transactions of more than 500 million US dollars, and the two sides had reached a final agreement. According to the official website announcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States, JD.COM Group actually invested nearly $20 million in cash for the investment that loves recycling. Now, according to June 2019, seven months have passed. So, how much money is there in the unfunded love recycling account? Can this cash support Airecycling more than 600 offline stores and thousands of employees to survive Q1 or Q2 in early 2020? This is a problem. If the cost of employees can be controlled by layoffs that have been reported before, in front of more than 600 offline stores, it is obviously difficult to control cash flow. Just like Xinchao Media, which started to lay off employees in 2020, even though there is still 1 billion yuan in cash in its account, at the staff meeting on the first day of work, Xinchao Media announced that it would lay off 500 employees, accounting for 10% of the total number of employees, and the senior management collectively reduced their salary by 20%. So, how will love recycling spend this cash flow problem?Will love recycling save itself by cutting off the closing of offline stores and reducing wages and layoffs? I’m afraid only love recycling is clear inside. However, as of press time, the inquiry request of GPLP Rhino Finance has not been answered. In addition to cash, this sudden epidemic has actually brought thinking to startups. Does the blind expansion of offline stores conform to the strength of the enterprise itself? Put the hope of survival on the investor’s thigh, and how much continuous blood transfusion can you get when the capital market is getting colder? Put the hope of living in the hands of others, how long can you last without online traffic that can make your own decisions?

　　"God helps those who help themselves"

　　Whether love recycling can survive hundreds of offline stores safely, and the dilemma of "stopping" and lack of traffic caused by the serious lack of passenger flow at present is obviously a very big test for it in 2020.

　　The reason is not unrelated to its rapid expansion for many years, so both cash flow and its management, including its operation mode, are worthy of reflection.

　　Perhaps, love recycling has found problems and started to adjust, so the news of personnel changes came out.

　　In addition, this emergency has also taught more enterprises the most important lesson, that is, don’t be blindly optimistic, don’t be overly obsessed with the satisfaction brought about by expansion, and must have a clear understanding of their own capabilities; At the same time, it is very important to pay attention to cash flow management.

　　Regarding the importance of cash flow, Allen Zhu, a partner of Jinshajiang Venture Capital, said on February 2, 2020, "When I was still starting a business in SARS in 2003, the management only took the basic living expenses that year, and the salary was reissued after the balance at the end of the year. This year is more severe than SARS, which is a matter of life and death for many start-ups. We must strictly control the cost and keep the cash for at least 6 months, preferably 12 months, assuming that there is no income. According to this, we can calculate the cost. Live on your knees, and it will be spring in the past! "

　　Allen Zhu also said, "After the epidemic, it will take two or three months for the enterprise to recover its operational data, and it will take another two or three months for it to raise funds after data recovery, so it may take four to six months from the end of the epidemic to getting the money. Entrepreneurs must prepare for the worst, and their income will be less in the first half of the year. They must make the most conservative plan and control cash. "

　　However, it is difficult to change the matter of controlling cash in a short time. Especially when sudden events bring difficulties to a large number of offline-oriented enterprises, how much time will be left to the decision makers of enterprises? After all, the rent of 600 stores and the salary of thousands of employees are already extremely high.

　　BEIJING, Oct. 30 (Xinhua News Agency reporter Xie Yiguan) Toothpaste is a necessity in life, but recently many people have found that toothpaste sold in supermarkets is becoming more and more expensive. "I remember that in the past, the most expensive toothpaste was only a dozen or twenty pieces. Now the toothpaste is generally twenty or thirty pieces." Some consumers spit.

　　Why did two or three yuan toothpaste disappear?

　　It costs twenty or thirty yuan, but toothpaste under ten yuan is hard to find.

　　Regarding the rising price of toothpaste, Xiao Ni, a consumer who recently went shopping in the supermarket, has a deep understanding.

　　"Looking around, most of them are toothpaste of twenty or thirty yuan, and the better ones are thirty or forty yuan. The cheapest Crest salt white toothpaste also needs 6.9 yuan, and the price is too outrageous."

　　As Xiao Ni said, recently, Sino-Singapore financial reporters visited a number of supermarkets, and the price of toothpaste was generally above that of 10 yuan. Among them, the range from 15 yuan to 40 yuan was relatively concentrated, and the price of a few brands of toothpaste such as Shushida could reach above 40 yuan, while only two or three models were below 10 yuan.

　　This is also consistent with the data of the offline research of Ai Media Consulting. According to previous research, among the 40 or 50 kinds of toothpaste sold by large supermarkets, the price of a toothpaste is 10-mdash; 20 yuan accounts for 60%, 20 yuan or above accounts for 35%, and there are only two or three kinds below 10 yuan.

　　In addition to the disappearance of low-priced toothpaste on supermarket shelves, many consumers have also found that the price of some toothpaste has doubled.

　　"This cold sour toothpaste is now selling for 7.58 yuan. I remember that it only costs two or three yuan; Chinese toothpaste, which once cost a few dollars, is now ‘ Upgrade ’ Later, it was also sold to 20 yuan. " Xiao Ni mentioned.

　　According to Huaxi Securities Research Report, the average price data of ordinary toothpaste of about 120g released by the National Development and Reform Commission showed that its price increased from 8.38 yuan/box on June 30, 2015 to 10.61 yuan/box on February 28, 2021, and the overall price of the industry showed an upward trend. This also proves that the price increase of toothpaste is not "somatosensory".

　　Why is toothpaste more expensive?

　　Toothpaste, which used to cost tens of dollars, was called "Hermes" in the toothpaste industry. Nowadays, the average person in the toothpaste industry is "Hermes". What caused the toothpaste to become more and more expensive?

　　Many people may consider the cost factor. According to national standards, toothpaste is mainly composed of friction agent, humectant, thickener, foaming agent, fragrance, water and other additives. Although corresponding effective ingredients will be added based on different efficacy, according to published data, the production cost of raw materials is relatively low.

　　Dengkang Dental owns brands such as Lengsuanling, and its prospectus shows that from 2019 to 2021, the unit cost of the company’s adult toothpaste was 1.53 yuan, 1.47 yuan and 1.50 yuan respectively.

　　Screenshot from Dengkang Dental Prospectus.

　　Although the unit cost remained stable, its sales unit price increased year after year, driving the gross profit margin to increase year by year.

　　In this regard, Denkang Dental said that the company has grasped the trend of consumption upgrading, complied with the development direction of diversified demand for toothpaste and high-end products, continuously carried out research and development upgrades on the basis of existing products, and continuously expanded its market share in mid-to high-end adult toothpaste. The unit price of product sales has increased year by year.

　　Denkang’s remarks also unveiled the tip of the iceberg of toothpaste brand collective "momentum".

　　In recent years, toothpaste enterprises are addicted to product upgrading, promoting whitening, anti-allergy, anti-sugar, refreshing breath and other effects by adding enzymes, probiotics, hyaluronic acid, amino acids and other ingredients, and even refining the use scenarios, on the one hand, catering to consumers’ demand for toothpaste functionality, on the other hand, because there is huge profit space behind all kinds of "gimmicks".

　　All along, the toothpaste market is in a fierce competition situation. At one time, the domestic toothpaste market was occupied by two-faced needles and cold acid spirit. Later, foreign-funded enterprises poured in. Under the circumstance of "attacking the city slightly", the industry once fought a price war, coupled with the rising price of raw materials, the gross profit margin continued to decline. The sudden emergence of functional toothpaste such as Yunnan Baiyao has enabled the industry to find a "wealth password".

　　"As a result, toothpaste companies have stopped producing traditional toothpastes that don’t make money and started to focus on functional toothpastes. The pricing of functional toothpastes far exceeds that of traditional toothpastes before, so that many toothpaste manufacturers introduce a new efficacy every once in a while, and then mention a price by the way. In this case, it is a natural trend for toothpaste to become more expensive. " Jiang Yan, a senior researcher at Pangu think tank, believes.

　　With the continuous "upgrade" of products, we still need to make great efforts to carry out marketing, and please all the stars to speak for us. From the research report of toothpaste listed companies, the sales cost of toothpaste has been rising all the way. These marketing costs ultimately require consumers to "pay the bill".

　　Can you still buy cheap toothpaste?

　　During the reporter’s visit to the supermarket, a male customer was shopping for toothpaste. After looking at the price, he chose the favorite one between the two toothpaste with the lowest price. At the same time, the reporter noticed that the special price of Shuke baking soda toothpaste in 10 yuan in a supermarket in Beijing was sold to only one.

　　The demand for low-priced toothpaste is still strong. Nowadays, the price of toothpaste is tens of yuan, which also makes many netizens miss the days when they bought a toothpaste for two or three yuan. Where did the cheap toothpaste go?

　　The reporter’s online search found that domestic old-fashioned toothpastes such as Baiyu and Tianqi are still on sale, and the price of a single one is mostly below 10 yuan; A Crest toothpaste with strong roots and strong teeth is sold at a high price only in 4.5 yuan. In addition, some unknown brands of toothpaste are also cheaper.

　　People who stay in the hotel will find that toothpaste, such as double-sided needles, which we are familiar with, frequently appears in disposable articles in the hotel. But these low-priced products are hard to appear on supermarket shelves.

　　Jiang Han said that for most supermarkets, the cost of each shelf is basically fixed, and the cost of selling various toothpaste products is similar. Therefore, toothpaste with higher profit level is often more attractive to supermarkets, and more and more supermarkets tend to sell high-priced toothpaste.

　　Xiao Ni once mentioned that low-priced toothpaste is mostly displayed on the lower shelf. This is also consistent with what the reporter observed in some supermarkets.

　　With the increasing "efficacy" of toothpaste, the publicity is increasingly "cosmetic" and the industry supervision is also improving.

　　The Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Toothpaste issued by the State Administration of Market Supervision this year clearly stipulates that toothpaste shall be put on record, and the toothpaste filer shall be responsible for the quality, safety and efficacy of toothpaste. In the industry’s view, after the implementation of the "Measures", it may be possible to publicize the efficacy of various toothpastes to "lower the fire". (End)

　　Archive story 70 years of glorious history 70 years of unforgettable memories

　　One morning in 1952, Deng Zongjue, who was shopping at the Zhongshan Road vegetable market in Nanchang, saw a fishmonger selling a huge fish. Since it was nearly two meters long and no one wanted it for a while, the fishmonger decided to divide the fish into several pieces and sell it. Due to professional sensitivity, Deng Zongjue quickly stopped it, paid a "huge amount" of 100 yuan to buy the fish back, and made it into a specimen in the laboratory. This is the "treasure of the town hall" now on display in the Biological Museum of Nanchang University – the giant Chinese sturgeon specimen.

　　The Chinese sturgeon and dinosaurs lived in the same period and were called "living fossils" in water. It was an important reference for studying the evolution of fish. It had important scientific value and incalculable ecological, social and economic value in the study of biological evolution traces, geology, landforms and other aspects of earth changes. However, due to human factors such as hydropower projects, water pollution, mechanical trauma, and overfishing, the wild Chinese sturgeon was in danger of extinction.

　　Deng Zongjue, a professor of biology at Nanchang University, has been teaching at the school since 1949. The specimen he found of the Chinese sturgeon is of great significance. It reflects the survival status of the Chinese sturgeon in the wild at that time, the population status and the ecological environment of the Yangtze River, which is conducive to human scientific research, experimental teaching and species protection.

　　这尾中华鲟标本的出现，无疑给当时生物系的教学带来了“惊鸿一瞥”，为人类对中华鲟的科学研究奉献了一组组生动具体的数据，更为之后制作各类动植物标本提供了实践经验。当年生物系师资力量虽然严重不足，但邓宗觉克服重重困难，一边制定教案、寻找标本，一边努力培养生物科学的好苗子，南昌大学生物系也随之不断发展壮大。

　　在邓宗觉的坚持和带领下，他和他的学生们将鄱阳湖里的其他鱼类标本基本收集齐全了，为出版《江西鄱阳湖鱼类志》奠定了坚实基础。

　　邓宗觉一直奋斗在南昌大学生物系教学第一线，教龄62年。在科研上，他也硕果累累，在国内首次选育成功了淡水鱼类新品种，建立了原种场，提供杂交用原种，获江西省科技成果二等奖，1981年获国家水产总局技术改进一等奖。他还参加鄱阳湖综合考察的治理研究，获1990年度国家科技进步一等奖；参加完成国家“七五”攻关项目《兴国红鲤人工生态库的设计与建设》；主持完成国家科委的120万亩池塘养殖高产模式化推广研究，获1991年江西省教委颁发的科技兴农先进个人奖。

　　积沙成塔，集腋成裘，2006年对外开放的南昌大学生物博物馆，有相当数量的国家一级、二级保护动植物以及珍稀物种标本，如国家一级保护动物灵猫、中华鲟、华南虎、白鳍豚、金丝猴等，这些标本尤为珍贵。诸多馆藏动物标本都是由邓宗觉和他的学生们在野外采集并亲手制作而成。在这里，中华鲟标本和其他珍贵标本，不仅给人们提供了科学研究价值，更似乎在提醒人们这些是濒临灭绝的或已经灭绝的生物，激发了人们尊重自然、热爱生命、保护环境的责任感和使命感。（钟昕）

Jacky and Bea Hayden are getting married on the Italian island of Capri! According to an insider, the wedding was organized by Xiangtai Chen Lan, and the scene was completely closed. Only some relatives and friends were invited, and a mothering banquet might be held in Taipei at the end of the year.

This morning, there was a picture of the welcome dinner, which was not clear, but Jacky and Bea Hayden were smiling like flowers.

Yesterday, Jam Hsiao’s agent Summer also showed a menu with "B&J" and "Bea & Jacky" written on it, which are English names of Jacky and Bea Hayden. There are appetizers, pasta, main courses (asparagus and perch slices, Palmi style eggplant), cakes, fruits and ice cream on the menu, and the date at the bottom of the menu is September 9th.

Because Jam Hsiao and Jacky look like brothers, Xiang Huaqiang and Xiangtai recognized Jam Hsiao as their adopted sons. Jam Hsiao and agent Summer Lin Youhui are lovers, and Jacky and Bea Hayden will naturally invite Jam Hsiao and Summer to their wedding.

On September 4th, there were also suspected wedding photographers who took photos with Jacky and Bea Hayden respectively.

In the past less than a year, the people who ate melons witnessed the love process of Jacky and Bea Hayden through the third variety show, and the dog food was almost full. Some netizens in single dog even said in despair that they never wanted to see their love again. However, now that they have finally entered the marriage hall, everyone is still very happy for the couple and sends their blessings one after another.

At the end of last year, Jacky, Xiang Tai, Bea Hayden and his father participated in the variety "The Most Beautiful Time". It was in this program that Jacky and Bea Hayden fell in love. They talked about their son’s ideal girlfriend and told Mrs Xiang bluntly that "Bea Hayden is more suitable".

With the "God’s assistance" from Xiang Tai, the relationship between Jacky and Bea Hayden developed rapidly. In January this year, they were photographed shopping hand in hand, and then they acquiesced in their relationship. In March, they held an engagement ceremony.

After the engagement, Jacky took Bea Hayden to meet michel platini and yohji yamamoto, the godfather of fashion.

Then they went to Japan to see cherry blossoms, visit art galleries, and do charity work in Nepal … and spread dog food all over the world.

Every combination is a full screen of pink bubbles.

In the variety "My Young Couple" broadcast in July, Jacky and Bea Hayden experienced the grassland wedding. At that time, Jacky called Bea Hayden "wife" and said: "I am looking forward to the real day."

At that time, Xiang Tai said that the wedding "would not be a big deal" on the grounds that "many centuries of weddings ended in haste".

In fact, in the recent hit variety "Daughters’ Love", Bea Hayden once revealed that the wedding has been prepared for "July 788", and she also said: "Most of them are handled by my mother, and I like to help us prepare with my mother and father." Before the wedding, Bea Hayden changed her name to Xiang Tai’s "mother", and the family was very intimate.

Jacky has also changed her name to Bea Hayden’s father "Dad". In order to make life in Bea Hayden more comfortable, Jacky also decided to make her home in Taipei. "We will have our first home in her most secure and safe place."

In "Daughters in Love", Bea Hayden’s father said to his daughter, "You only care about your husband now" and said to his son-in-law Jacky, "Thank you for helping me out of my misery. No one will take care of me in the future."

Guo’s father said with a little sadness, "Don’t worry, I am good at managing myself." Then I wiped my tears … Bea Hayden grew up in a single-parent family, and it was not easy for her father to raise her daughter. The mood of marrying a daughter and a daughter-in-law is completely different. Even if Bea Hayden marries so well, Guo’s father still has mixed feelings.

In the program, Jacky and Bea Hayden also wore headscarves to each other and rehearsed the wedding, showing their expectations for the wedding.

The young couple also revealed that they want to have two babies after marriage, "having both children". Bea Hayden and Jacky are both 35 years old, so the issue of having a baby should be put on the agenda soon after marriage.

I have witnessed the sweet marriage and love of Jacky and Bea Hayden all the time, and wish them happiness all the time!

　　　　　　 CCTV News:In the last year or two, a very popular word on the Internet is: online celebrity punched in, which means that a video of a certain place was broadcast on the relevant platform, which aroused widespread concern, and then a large number of tourists and photographers went to the place to shoot and remember. The influx of people may have boosted local tourism revenue, but some uncivilized phenomena have also embarrassed these places with hot networks.

　　　　　　 Tongdeli is an alley in Suzhou, about 2 meters wide and more than 200 meters long. The 19 western-style houses here constitute the most typical buildings of the Republic of China in Suzhou. The old house named after a TV series is here. Thousands of tourists come here to take photos and punch in every day, and the lives of more than 100 households have changed.

　　　　　　 Aunt Xu is an old resident of No.8 in Tongli. In the past two months, she has received a large number of tourists to visit, take photos and consult every day. Her home was originally an actor’s rest area, and No.7 was the prototype of Su’s old house, but because the layout of the two houses is the same, Aunt Xu often takes the initiative to open the door to receive visitors in order to alleviate the pressure next door.

　　　　　　 Xu Lifang, a resident of Tongli, said: "There are very few uncivilized tourists who are still knocking at the door of Su’s old house in the middle of the night."

　　　　　　 Aunt Xu said that she actually welcomes everyone to visit, but there are some problems, and even the house number of her own "No.8 Tongdeli" has disappeared a few days ago. The location of the actor lounge in the play has also been affected by the large passenger flow.

　　　　　　 Lin Shengguo, a resident of Deli, said: "When someone opens the door in the whole community, once a person takes the lead to rush into the owner’s room, all the tourists will file in, and people will be packed around their homes in the morning. This situation is very common, just like my place, where I used to sit, and so are the tourists. Even the floor of my place was trampled, the board was broken, and some people fell in my place."

　　　　　　 On the roadside of Pingjiang, Suzhou, a small courtyard called Haneryuan is the prototype of the restaurant "Meat eater" where the hero and heroine of this hit TV series met. A large number of tourists have been jammed at the door for two months.

　　　　　　 CCTV reporter Wang Shengdong: "The surge of photo-punching passengers has also brought unprecedented pressure to the garden. For example, this century-old wall around me, many tourists have taken photos with their hands, and the wall has been destroyed. The garden has to arrange special personnel to maintain order at the door."

　　　　　　 Haner Garden staff: "Some of them are for consumption, but more people simply punch in for taking pictures, which will lead to many people trampling on the flowers and plants in our garden, and throwing garbage everywhere, which will affect the environment of our whole garden and elegance. There are stone bridges and Ping Jianghe, which are actually very dangerous for everyone."

　　　　　　 Destruction of flowers and plants is even more common in other places in online celebrity. Chengdu Airport Flower Field is an open sightseeing area built by Chengdu Shuangliu District in the landing area of the east runway of Shuangliu Airport. It has become a place for many tourists to punch in because it can photograph flowers and planes at the same time. The reporter saw at the scene that most tourists can enjoy the flowers on the observation deck, greenway and other places. However, many tourists ignored the fence, and even the staff dissuaded them, insisting on taking photos and playing in the flower planting area. Some flower fields near the sightseeing channel have been trampled by tourists, which is very conspicuous.

　　　　　　 The "online celebrity punch card place", which suddenly rises in heat, can be said to be an embarrassing problem for the local area. There are more tourists, and their popularity has been greatly improved; But the uncivilized behavior of tourists interferes with everyone’s normal life. The Dragon Boat Festival holiday is approaching, and relevant departments in some places have prepared emergency plans for the upcoming large passenger flow.

　　　　　　 Li Jun, a member of the comprehensive administrative law enforcement brigade in the Fengmen area: "Our urban management department has also joined forces with the public security traffic police, transportation and other departments to cope with the peak passenger flow during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. We have put forward corresponding measures, such as one-way circulation of vehicles, and then our passenger flow has also gone from left to right, and timely guidance has been made to deal with the unexpected incident that happened to some tourists. For these uncivilized behaviors, we first educate them through community volunteers. "

　　　　　　 Ji Zhaoliang, secretary of the Party Committee of Jinfan Road Community, said: "One is the combination of dredging and blocking. If it is sparse, it is mainly because we have also made a hand-painted map, then we will divert residents or some tourists and go to other places to have a look. On the other hand, we have also posted some soft guiding signs at the exit of Tongli, so as not to disturb some normal lives of our residents. "

　　　　　　 In fact, these places in online celebrity are not the tourist attractions in our strict sense, and the short-term gathering of passengers by punching cards will bring great pressure to the local area. On the one hand, we call on tourists to travel in a civilized way and punch cards rationally; On the other hand, for uncivilized behavior, some legal experts said that excessive disturbance to the people and damage to the environment should bear the responsibility.

　　　　　　 Lawyer Cheng Xiaowen: "First of all, it is the provisions of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment. Once there is a corresponding actor who disturbs some lives and normal life order of others, the public security organs can give warnings and punishments after reporting to the police, and in serious cases, they can be administratively detained."

　　　　　　 According to the lawyer, knocking at the door in the middle of the night and shouting the names of the characters in the TV series are also suspected of infringement. On the one hand, they disturb the normal rest of others. On the other hand, if residents can prove that this behavior has caused their physical, mental or health damage, then the actor should not only apologize, but also make financial compensation.

　　　　　　 Lawyer Cheng Xiaowen: "As a tourist, it’s good to visit people’s private houses, or other places in online celebrity, or to punch cards. First of all, you should travel in a civilized way, respect others, and you respect others, so you can get others’ respect for you."

　　　　　　 Some experts in the field of tourism also said that online celebrity’s punch-in fires quickly and the fever drops quickly, which often caught the local residents and functional departments off guard.

　　　　　　 Deng Ning, vice president of beijing international studies university Institute of Tourism Science, said: "We can relatively explore some of its tourism products, or some tourist routes, and explore its connection with the so-called online celebrity land, so that this kind of people flow can have other places to visit, spend money and experience some local elements with more humanistic care besides punching in. In this case, In order to form a so-called complete tourism experience, it is especially necessary to combine with other local things, such as cultural and creative products, catering, performing arts and so on.

Turkey changed its English name

Author | Blue Sky and Clear Away

Editor | ｜Thomas

Turkey’s English country name "Turkey" also means "Turkey" in English. The United States has the habit of eating turkey on Thanksgiving Day. Turkey thinks that its country name is linked to turkey, which affects its national image.

Not only that, Turkey also derives the meaning of "idiot, fool" in English. In Chinese, Turkey also has a nickname called "native chicken".

Turks can’t stand their country name being used as a joke. At the beginning of 2022, Turkish President Erdogan signed a communique to change the spelling of English country names from Turkey to Turkey. The Turkish government indicated that it would register a new English name with the United Nations as soon as possible.

▲ The official Turkish travel website has been renamed.

How did Turkey’s English country name "Turkey" come into being? Why is it linked to "turkey"?

▲ Eating "turkey" becomes a Thanksgiving ceremony in the United States.

First, the "trouble" guinea fowl

In modern Turkish, Turkey is written as Türkiye (Land of Turks). The country name of Turkey evolved from the word Turk, which means "brave" in Turkic, and Turks also consider themselves direct descendants of Turks.

In the 3rd century BC, Huns first occupied the Mongolian Plateau. After the Han Dynasty weakened the Huns, Xianbei and Rouran successively occupied the Mongolian Plateau from the 2nd century to the 5th century. At the same time, there were other nomadic countries in Central Asia, and Turkey believed that its history was inextricably linked with these nomadic countries.

▲ The troubles of Sui and Tang empires.

In the 6th century A.D., Rouran’s Turkic tribe defeated Rouran and established the Turkic khanate in the Mongolian Plateau. However, under the attack of Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Turkic khanate was split in two.

A large number of Turks migrated from Central Asia to West Asia, and the Turkic ministries who moved to West Asia converted to Islam and became an important political force in West Asia.

In 1299, Osman I, the leader of Kaye tribe of Ugus, a branch of Turkic, established political power in Asia Minor Peninsula, namely the Ottoman Empire.

In 1453, the Ottoman Empire occupied Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, and the Roman Empire, which lasted for thousands of years, died. After the annexation of the Balkans, the Ottoman Empire launched several rounds of invasions on Central Europe, and the imperial army became the nightmare of the Christian kingdom in Europe.

▲ Osman I

The word Turkey was originally transliterated from the Latin Turcae, referring to the nomadic people along the Black Sea. After the Turkic people came into contact with Europe, this word began to be used in a series of Turkic countries.

As early as before the establishment of the Ottoman Empire, the Byzantine Empire (395- 1453 AD, the common language was Greek) once called the Seljuk Empire, another regime established by Turks in West Asia, Tourkia.

▲ Seljuk Empire was once the overlord of West Asia.

Since the Middle Ages, Europeans used to refer to the Muslim areas of the Ottoman Empire as "Turchia" or "Turquia", which means the land of Turks and Turks. These words can be found in the Book of the Duchess published by the British poet geoffrey chaucer in 1369.

After development, at the latest in 1719, the English spelling of "Turkey" was solidified into Turkey. Correspondingly, the ruling people of the Ottoman Empire were called "Turks". The Ottoman Empire is often called the "Turkish Empire". Since the Ottoman Empire is the core of the Islamic world, Europeans also use "Turkey" to refer to the Islamic world.

▲Turkey is a "common name" given by Europe to the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire likes to use the title of "Ottomans", but the title of "Turkey" is not popular.

Although there are many ethnic groups in the territory, the Ottoman Empire is more accustomed to roughly dividing its subjects into Muslims and non-Muslims based on religion. In 1517, the Ottoman Empire defeated the Mamluk dynasty that ruled Egypt and extended its rule to North Africa.

▲ Mamluk dynasty that once ruled around Egypt (red)

The Ottoman Empire controlled the trade routes from North Africa to Europe, and many products had to go through the Ottoman Empire to reach Europe, which inevitably led Europeans to have a misunderstanding-the Ottoman Empire was the origin of goods, and Guinea fowl was one of many misunderstandings.

▲ Guinea fowl

There are about 10 different species of guinea fowl, most of which live in sub-Saharan Africa. Its meat quality is drier and tougher than that of domestic chickens, with less fat and rich in protein.

After the Ottoman Empire conquered North Africa, Guinea fowl followed the footsteps of African businessmen and crossed the Sahara desert to North Africa, where it was transported to Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, via Arab or Greek businessmen in West Asia.

▲ Ottoman Empire before 1878

As the core of a huge empire, Istanbul is also a commercial center of the empire. Since the 16th century, people can see all kinds of guinea fowl in the bustling bazaar (market) in the city. These African-born birds are huge, their feathers are dotted with spots, and they are also very conspicuous in the bazaar.

Guinea fowl comes from far away sub-Saharan Africa, which is not the territory of the Ottoman Empire, but British businessmen in the Ottoman Empire still call it "turkey cock" or "turkey coq", that is, Turkish cock.

▲ Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire

From the 16th century, guinea fowl came to western Europe from the ports of North Africa with merchant ships. People in Britain and France did not deliberately explore which tribe the merchants bought these species from. The British people also imitated the merchants and called the guinea fowl "Turkish cock".

Compared with the British who try to save trouble, France, the Netherlands and other countries are more strict in naming. They know that the Ottoman Empire is not the origin of guinea fowl, but the "shrewdness" of countries such as France and Holland will stop here. They think that guinea fowl comes from distant India, and the French guinea fowl is called "Lepoulet indien" (Indian chicken).

It is precisely because of the British "trying to save trouble" that the guinea fowl originated in Africa has inexplicably become "made in Turkey". This misunderstanding became more and more serious. With the rise of the European colonial empire, Turkey was finally bound to turkey in the process of spreading English.

Second, in the name of Turkey

After the Ottoman Empire controlled the Middle East and North Africa, the traditional trade routes were controlled by it. Encouraged by opening up new trade routes to the East and spreading Christian beliefs to the outside world, Europeans ushered in the era of "great geographical discovery".

In 1492, although Columbus didn’t reach the East where he wanted to go, he let Europeans first touch the American continent. Countries such as Spain, Portugal, Britain and France have successively launched colonial activities in America.

▲ new route opening

In September 1620, a sailboat named "Mayflower" carried 102 passengers from England to Virginia Colony. Because the ship deviated from the course, may flower was forced to dock in today’s Massachusetts, which was far less developed than Virginia.

In order to survive, people decided to build a new town in Massachusetts and named it New Plymouth after the sailing place.

▲ Come to the New World

There is a widely spread story that neighboring Indians lend a helping hand to British immigrants. They sent all kinds of food, including turkey, and taught British immigrants how to fish and build houses.

In the autumn of 1621, New Plymouth ushered in a bumper harvest. In order to show gratitude, British immigrants invited Indians to celebrate together. Indian leader Massasso led his people to a banquet, and people sang and danced for three days, which was the embryonic form of Thanksgiving.

▲ Thanks to the Indians

In fact, there is no record of this carnival in the diaries of the first immigrants from New Plymouth. On the contrary, in 1637, john winthrop, the governor of Massachusetts, launched a war against Indian tribes. After killing hundreds of Pecots, Winslow announced to British immigrants that "this day should be a Thanksgiving Day. Thank God, we conquered Pecots".

The origin of Thanksgiving Day is not as beautiful as the legend, but the turkey was indeed obtained from the association between British immigrants and Indians. Before the arrival of European colonists, Indians had raised turkeys for hundreds of years.

▲ Winslow

In the eyes of British immigrants, turkey and guinea fowl are the same species. With a fat body and a colorful head, the name of the Turkish rooster was put on the turkey. Since then, the name "turkey fowl" has come into being.

Turkey, with its plump meat, soon became an important food for the colonial people in North America. The name of the turkey is also simplified, and the fowl (bird) used to indicate the attribute is omitted, and only the name of "origin" is retained (even if the turkey has nothing to do with Turkey).

"Turkey" has become the official name of turkey, and there is no difference between them except the case of the first letter.

▲ Turkey (left) and Guinea fowl (right)

The name of Turkey in English changed from guinea fowl to turkey, and so did the name of "Indian chicken" in French.

In addition to foreign countries, Polish, Hebrew, Catalan and other languages also call turkey "Indian chicken".

After the great geographical discovery, turkeys also appeared in the markets of the Ottoman Empire along with commercial activities. The Ottomans knew that this kind of chicken had nothing to do with themselves, so they learned from the French that turkey was called "hindi" (Indian chicken). India, however, was ruled by Britain in modern times. In local languages, most turkeys are called "Turkish chickens" like English.

▲ The Ottoman Empire in the 19th century

This story is somewhat similar to the fact that the Dutch bean in China population becomes China bean in the Dutch mouth, and the charm and fun of language are contained in it.

Looking at the essence of the problem, turkeys originating in North America have many names among the Indian population, meaning mostly "big bird". However, Indians have no right to speak, but Britain and the rising United States spread the name "turkey" all over the world with colonial expansion and cultural export.

▲ The British navy is strong.

Third, we are not "native chickens"

Almost every language has polysemy, and it is not surprising that country names have the same names as other things. "China" means porcelain, but few people compare China with porcelain.

However, turkey, as a necessary food for Thanksgiving in North America, is not only a little too ordinary, but also represents the meaning of being "eaten" by human beings, which cannot reflect the "sense of power" of the Ottoman Empire.

In the 18th century, the Ottoman Empire began to decline and became the target of aggression by European powers. At the same time, the colonial people in North America started the war of independence, and Britain was forced to recognize American independence in 1783.

▲ Thanksgiving Day

After 1800, turkey gradually became a regular dish on Thanksgiving Day. In 1863, President Lincoln set the date of Thanksgiving as the last Thursday in November. In English, the name of turkey solidified into turkey. Because the first impression of turkey seems to be not very smart, Turkey also extended "idiot, straw bag".

Britain is developing colonies all over the world, and the national strength of the United States is also booming. With the spread of English, turkey is known by more and more people, but most people know the word through turkey, and the original meaning of the word "Turkey" is not so important.

On the other side of the globe, the Ottoman Empire has indeed gone from bad to worse, becoming a "straw bag" bullied by the great powers.

▲ Russia invaded the Ottoman Empire.

By the end of the 19th century, Austria and Russia had turned the land of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans into their sphere of influence. Britain, France and Italy carved up the North African territory of the Ottoman Empire, and the weak Ottoman Empire really became a turkey in front of the big powers’ knives.

With the increasing influence of the west in the Ottoman Empire, the way that westerners equate "Turkey" with "Ottoman" also affected the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire began to accept the word "Turkey".

But until the end of 19th century, "Turkey" still had no meaning of modern nation or country. In the Ottoman Empire, "Turkey" has a certain derogatory meaning, usually referring to farmers in plateau mountainous areas.

The upper classes still call themselves "Ottomans" (Ottomans). The "Turkish" in the European and Ottoman populations do not refer to the same group of people.

▲ subjects of the empire

The great powers’ carve-up frenzy gave the Ottoman Empire a deep sense of crisis. From the end of 19th century to the beginning of 20th century, a "pan-Turkic" ideological trend rose in West Asia, advocating the union of turkic peoples and the leading role played by the Ottoman Empire in it, driving turkic peoples to become self-reliant, and Turkey began to become the representative of the Turkic nation.

This collided with another trend of thought at that time, "Ottomanism" (revitalizing the Ottoman Empire and highlighting Ottoman identity). Ottoman (Ottoman), Turkey (Turkey) and Islam (Islam) together constituted the identity of the empire.

In 1914, the Ottoman Empire put all its eggs in one basket and joined the First World War against the background of alliance with Germany and Austria. As a result, the Allied Group was defeated in World War I, and the Ottoman Empire was forced to sign the harsh Treaty of Sevres.

The Arab settlements controlled by the Ottoman Empire were ceded to Britain, France and other countries, and even the western part of Asia Minor Peninsula, where the main ethnic group Turks lived, was ceded to Greece.

▲ Autumn in Danger

The Ottoman Empire slipped to the brink of national subjugation, and young officers headed by Kemal organized a resistance struggle. Kemal said that "the independence of the Ottoman nation should be maintained".

During the war, there was a wave of referring to the country as "Turkey" in the Ottoman Empire. Amir Pasha, a government official, opposes the use of Turkey to address a country or a nation.

He said, "We have established the caliphate system in the name of Islam … We are not just gathered here in the name of Turks. It is more appropriate to say Muslims or even Ottomans than Turks. In our hometown, there are Caucasians, Chechens, Kurds and other Muslims. The use of Turkish appellations will exclude (these groups). "

▲ The Last Sultan of the Empire

After more than two years of life-and-death fighting, Kemal defeated the invading army headed by Greece and re-signed the fairly Lausanne Treaty with western countries. The core territory of the former Ottoman Empire was preserved, and the Turks became the absolute subject nation of the qualified new country. After the victory of the war, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire was expelled and the empire came to an end in 1922.

In order to make a thorough cut with the Ottoman Empire and break the state system of the integration of politics and religion that lasted for hundreds of years, Kemal initiated the secularization reform, and the importance of religion in social life decreased greatly. He argued that "Turkey" should be the name of the new country. "Turkey" has changed from a vague political term to the name of a country, but it is still written in Arabic characters during the Ottoman Empire.

▲ Kemal, who is honored as the father of Turkey.

During the secularization reform, Turkey established a representative democracy by learning from the West, Latin letters replaced the original Arabic writing system, and Türkiye ("Turkey" in Turkish) became a new way to write country names.

After the establishment of the brand-new Turkey, Turkey has developed into an important country in West Asia from the 20th century to the 21st century. By 2020, the country’s GDP totaled 720 billion US dollars, ranking 19th in the world and 1st in West Asia. The standing army of more than 600,000 makes Turkey a NATO country second only to the United States in terms of strength.

However, with the stagnant economic situation in Turkey in recent years, nationalism has begun to rise. Especially since the current Turkish President Erdogan took office in 2014, the strengthening of religious forces has also worried the outside world that Turkey will have a wave of "anti-secularization".

In addition, Turkey is also actively involved in the affairs of surrounding areas. Under the background of national strength, many Turks express their dissatisfaction with the English spelling of country names. How can the country name be associated with the food on the table? Moreover, this name has been ridiculed by the world from time to time, and serious country names should not be regarded as the object of playing tricks.

▲ The Turkish army entered Syria

In 2021, Turkey launched the English country name adjustment action. In January 2022, Erdogan signed a decree to change the English spelling of the name of Turkey from Turkey to Turkiye(Türkiye). Turkey has also launched a publicity and public relations campaign called "HelloTürkiye" on social networks and TV media at all costs.

▲ Renaming activities

In addition to adopting relevant resolutions at home, changing the English spelling of country names needs the cooperation of the international community. Turkish officials said that they would apply to the United Nations to urge the international community to accept new English names as soon as possible.

There are many precedents for changing foreign translation names, and most of the reasons are to erase colonial marks (for example, Ivory Coast is changed to C? te d ‘Ivoire); Promote national unity (for example, Myanmar has changed Burma with great Burmese color into Myanmar that can refer to all ethnic groups); Pronunciation in line with the national language (for example, South Korea changed Seoul to Seoul).

But like Turkey, the name is changed because the name is tied to poultry, but it is unique in the world.

However, modern Turkish is also spelled with Latin letters. The so-called change of English country name is only the transplantation of Turkish spelling into English. "Turkey" in English and "Türkiye" in Turkish actually sound almost the same, which is difficult to distinguish in spoken English. It also makes people suspect that renaming will not actually achieve results.

In the eyes of some people, Turkey’s change of English-speaking countries is more about service politics. At present, Turkey’s economy is in recession, the Turkish lira has depreciated sharply, and domestic inflation has risen sharply. The Turkish domestic opposition criticized Erdogan for "putting on a show" and accused him of using the name change to stir up national sentiment to divert people’s attention to the economic downturn and shift the accusation of his ineffective governance.

▲ In Turkey, money is becoming less and less valuable.

Supporters believe that it is necessary for Turkey to correct Türkiye’s name, and they praise the government for showing Turkish culture and values in the best way. After all, having the same name as "Turkey" is detrimental to the national image, and they think their country name should be respected.
