The Central Meteorological Observatory issued an orange warning of meteorological drought, and there will be special drought in many places.

  The Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue an orange warning of meteorological drought at 18: 00 on September 27:

  According to the meteorological drought monitoring on September 27th, there were moderate to severe meteorological droughts in southwestern Jiangsu, most of Anhui, most of Henan, most of Hubei, southern Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, northern and eastern Guizhou, northern and eastern Guangdong, central and northern Guangxi, and southeastern Chongqing, with extreme droughts in southwestern Zhejiang, southern Anhui, eastern Hubei, northwestern and northeastern Fujian, most of Jiangxi, and central and southern Hunan. It is predicted that in the next three days, there will be moderate to heavy rain in parts of Chongqing, Guangxi, Guangdong and other places, and there will be heavy rain locally, which is beneficial to alleviating meteorological drought. However, most of the remaining dry areas will still have little rain, and meteorological drought will continue or develop, so it is necessary to continue to do a good job in drought prevention and drought relief.

  Defense guide:

  1. The relevant departments and units shall, in accordance with their duties, do a good job in emergency work against drought;

  2 relevant departments to enable emergency standby water sources, dispatch all available water sources within the jurisdiction, and give priority to ensuring domestic water for urban and rural residents and drinking water for livestock;

  3. Strictly save water and limit unproductive high water consumption and service water consumption;

  4. Timely artificial precipitation enhancement.

The candidates for Biden’s administration are meaningful. Look who is chosen.

  Xinhua News Agency, Washington, January 21st(International observation) The candidates for Biden’s government team are meaningful.

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Sun Ding Xu Jianmei Deng Xianlai

  After US President Joe Biden officially took office on the 20th, he has introduced a number of administrative measures, including the return of the United States to the Paris Agreement on climate change. The Senate controlled by his Democratic Party is also actively promoting the confirmation process required for relevant cabinet members before taking office.

  The United States, which Biden inherited, is deeply mired in multiple crises: there are more than 400,000 deaths in COVID-19, unprecedented political tears, weak economic employment and high debt risk. In this context, it is particularly important for the president to be in power. Some analysts pointed out that the main features of Biden’s cabinet nomination are the activation of "Washington Old Man" in order to ensure the rapid operation of the government, the diversification of personnel background in order to achieve political unity, and the reward for running for "hero".

  Who is in love?

  In addition to the vice president, the US cabinet also includes 15 heads of administrative departments, including the Secretary of State, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Justice. In addition, the White House Chief of Staff, Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, Director of National Intelligence, US Trade Representative and other important positions have cabinet level. Biden completed the nomination or direct appointment of all cabinet and cabinet-level officials before taking office, and the Senate is now beginning to review and vote on the nominees who need to be approved by him. On the 20th, the Senate approved Averil Haynes as the Director of National Intelligence, the first cabinet-level official in Biden’s administration confirmed by the Senate.

  Biden’s important cabinet nominations include: former Deputy Secretary of State Anthony Blinken as Secretary of State, former Federal Reserve Chairman janet yellen as Treasury Secretary, retired four-star general lloyd austin as Defense Secretary, and Chief Justice merrick Garland as Attorney General. These four positions are traditionally called the "four big members" of the cabinet and have higher importance and exposure.

  Among several cabinet-level positions concerned by the outside world, Biden appointed Ron Klein, who had served as his campaign adviser, as the White House chief of staff; Jack sullivan, the vice president’s national security adviser when he was the vice president of the Obama administration, was appointed as the president’s national security assistant; Nominated Qi Dai, chief trade adviser of the House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee, as the US trade representative.

  In addition, Biden also made some "addition and subtraction" for cabinet-level positions. For example, he established the post of presidential special envoy on climate issues and appointed former Secretary of State John Kerry as the post, and re-promoted the permanent representative of the United States to the United Nations to the cabinet level, but the director of the Central Intelligence Agency no longer held the cabinet level.

  Quite purposeful

  Some analysts pointed out that many of Biden’s cabinet members were senior officials during the administration of former President Obama, and some even served as the top or second-in-command of federal government agencies. The editorial of USA Today said that many of Biden’s cabinet members are "old rivers and lakes" in Washington. They have rich policy experience and are familiar with the operation of the federal government. The United States is now facing multiple problems, and federal government agencies need these "skilled hands" to take over to bring more stability.

  At the same time, it is noteworthy that Biden’s cabinet candidates also paid attention to balancing gender, race and other factors, and did not forget to support the younger generation and reward the "heroes" in the election. If all the candidates are successfully approved by the Senate, a series of firsts will be created: the first aboriginal cabinet minister, the first female finance minister, the first African-American defense minister, the first Hispanic health and human services minister, the first immigrant-born homeland security minister, and the first Asian-American trade representative. It is worth mentioning that Kamala Harris has made history as the first female vice president of the United States.

  Biden also nominated Pete Buttigieg, former mayor of South Bend, Indiana and former Democratic presidential candidate, as the transportation secretary. American media believe that 39-year-old Buttigieg is one of the new political stars of the Democratic Party, and it is only a matter of time before he runs for the presidency again. Biden intends to help him "brush up his resume".

  In addition, almost all the "heroes" of Biden’s campaign team were entrusted with important positions, which is also the usual practice for the new president to select and employ people.

  Face obstacles

  At present, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party each hold 50 seats in the Senate, and the Vice President, as the Speaker of the Senate, holds the decisive vote. This means that, not surprisingly, Biden’s cabinet nomination will be passed more smoothly in the Senate.

  However, some analysts pointed out that the situation is slightly complicated. At present, the Senate should not only begin to hear the impeachment case against former President Trump after he leaves office, but also consider a new round of economic aid plan for the COVID-19 epidemic. These time-consuming and labor-intensive agendas may affect the progress of the Senate’s deliberation and approval of cabinet nominations.

  The US "Political News" published an article saying that considering the partisan disputes caused by the impeachment case, it is not easy for Biden’s cabinet candidates to get approval quickly. Biden expressed concern about this and called on the Senate to "work in parallel", with half a day being devoted to hearing impeachment cases, and the other half being devoted to reviewing and approving cabinet members and promoting a new round of economic aid plan for the COVID-19 epidemic.

  At present, Biden has appointed a series of acting officials to temporarily take charge of important federal government agencies until the Senate approves the official candidates, so as to try to ensure the normal operation of government departments during the transition period.

Ten Major Economic Events in China in 2016

  The coming year of 2016 is not only the first year of the decisive stage of building a well-off society in an all-round way, but also the crucial year of promoting supply-side structural reform. Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, China’s economy actively adapts to and leads the new normal, various reform measures are solidly promoted, the mode of economic development is constantly changing, and the economic structure is increasingly optimized, achieving a good start in the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan. Taking stock, these achievements are condensed in one major event worth remembering.

  1 China’s economy is stable and improving.

  [Event] In the first three quarters of 2016, China’s GDP maintained a growth rate of 6.7%. Looking at the whole year, China’s economy is expected to achieve a medium-to-high-speed growth level of about 6.7% in 2016, showing a general trend of slowing down and stabilizing, stabilizing the middle and improving, and making progress while stabilizing.

  [Comment] The performance of "stable to good" made China’s economic characteristics of good resilience, sufficient potential and large room for manoeuvre further manifest in 2016. The overall economic performance of China in 2016 conforms to the basic characteristics of speed change, structural optimization and power conversion under the new normal of economic development, which provides a good macroeconomic environment and conditions for improving the quality of economic growth, promoting economic structural optimization and promoting energy conservation and emission reduction.

  Hu Angang, president of Tsinghua University Institute of National Studies, pointed out that from the international comparison, China still belongs to one of the countries with the highest economic growth rate in the world, and its economic growth rate of around 6.7% is obviously higher than that of the United States, Japan and the European Union. At the same time, China’s total economic output has exceeded $10 trillion. For every 1 percentage point increase on this base, the GDP will exceed $100 billion, which is equivalent to the 1.8 percentage point increase of economic growth in 2010. From this perspective, in 2016, China created a dazzling economic growth highlight in the depressed world economic environment.

  2 Supply-side reform has achieved results

  [Event] The task of de-capacity of steel and coal was completed ahead of schedule, the area of commercial housing for sale continued to decline, and the asset-liability ratio of industrial enterprises above designated size declined. In the first 10 months, the cost per 100 yuan of main business income of industrial enterprises above designated size decreased by 0.24 yuan year-on-year, and the investment in the central budget was tilted towards poverty alleviation, infrastructure and industrial upgrading … … Over the past year, the five major tasks of supply-side reform have been comprehensively pushed forward and achieved initial results.

  [Comment] The action of supply-side structural reform is real, and the results of "three to one, one reduction and one supplement" in some areas exceeded expectations. On the whole, the initial progress made in the five major tasks has brought positive factors such as increased positive changes in production and demand, obvious improvement in market expectations, steady growth in investment, and continuous improvement in corporate efficiency, which has laid a good start for the next reform.

  Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao article pointed out that compared with the "troika" of investment, consumption and export on the demand side, the supply side includes four elements: labor, land, capital and innovation. The supply-side structural reform in China aims at adjusting the economic structure, optimizing the allocation of factors and improving the quality and quantity of economic growth.

  3 "camp reform" has been fully promoted.

  [Event] Since May 1, 2016, China has comprehensively pushed forward the pilot project of changing business tax into value-added tax nationwide, including the construction industry, real estate industry, financial industry and life service industry. The data shows that from January to November, the cumulative tax reduction from the reform of the camp was 469.9 billion yuan, and the total tax reduction scale for the whole year will exceed 500 billion yuan. Many enterprises will get a real "red envelope" from it.

  [Comment] The "camp reform" is a major strategic deployment made by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council with a view to the overall development of the country, and it is also an important measure for China to implement structural tax reduction under the new normal of economic development.

  Zhang Lianqi, a member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, believes that the "camp reform" pilot is a tough battle. On the one hand, this reform has given full play to the tax reduction effect and improved the VAT deduction mechanism, on the other hand, it has also improved the financial environment of the market. In the supply-side structural reform, it is particularly important for enterprises to reduce their burdens, and the "reform of the camp" has played a positive role in reducing taxes and fees, stimulating vitality and cultivating the tax base. In an environment where risks are controllable and the system is fair, improving the specific measures of "reform of the camp" will lay a solid foundation for further reducing the burden on enterprises in 2017.

  4 G20 delivers "China Plan"

  [Event] From September 4th to 5th, 2016, the 11th Summit of G20 leaders was held in Hangzhou, China. In view of the current challenges facing the world economy, a series of countermeasures such as "strengthening macro-policy coordination" and "innovating development mode" put forward by China at this summit have been widely affirmed by all walks of life at home and abroad. The "China Plan" is increasingly popular among the people.

  [Comment] In the era of economic globalization, the economies of all countries tend to be prosperous and lose. Only through cooperation can we achieve common development. Therefore, making the world economy more inclusive and achieving a win-win situation for all countries is both a moral responsibility and an immeasurable effective demand.

  Neil Renwick, a professor at Coventry University in the United Kingdom, commented that thanks to China’s efforts, the G20 Summit brought key issues such as sustainable development to the core of international politics, and set specific goals to promote all parties to take practical actions to implement important global agreements. It can be said that through this summit, China has laid the foundation for more meaningful international actions, which no other G20 presidency has done before.

  5 The reform of state-owned enterprises is deepening

  [Event] Since 2016, the "four beams and eight pillars" of state-owned enterprise reform have sprung up, the "1+N" document system of state-owned enterprise reform has been completed, and the "ten reform pilots" have been fully rolled out, and positive progress has been made in slimming and improving health, improving quality and efficiency, reorganizing and integrating central enterprises, reorganizing and establishing investment and operation companies, innovating and developing, strictly supervising the transfer of SASAC and strengthening the party building of central enterprises.

  [Comment] The reform of state-owned enterprises is not simply achieved through some institutional adjustments or administrative measures, but is more driven by market players and follows market rules. This will undoubtedly help to change the past problems such as "fuzzy subject, administrative subject and absence of subject", strengthen efficient assets, revitalize inefficient assets and eliminate invalid assets, so that state-owned enterprises can better serve China’s economy.

  Liu Rui, a professor at the School of Economics of Renmin University of China, believes that the reform of state-owned enterprises has now entered the implementation stage, and the details of policies have been discovered in the pilot, and some supplements and improvements have been made to ensure that the reform of state-owned enterprises will not go astray, and at the same time, it also responds to social concerns. Of course, the reform of state-owned enterprises is a very complicated reform, which requires both top-level design and bottom-line thinking, and requires caution.

  6 the free trade zone continues to expand.

  [Event] In August 2016, China decided to establish seven new pilot free trade zones in Liaoning Province, Zhejiang Province, Henan Province, Hubei Province, Chongqing City, Sichuan Province and Shaanxi Province on the basis of the successful construction of pilot free trade zones in Shanghai, Guangdong, Tianjin and Fujian.

  [Comment] The purpose of setting up a free trade zone in China is to try a legal, international and market-oriented business environment construction path and operation mode by setting up a free trade zone, and create an experimental field for an open economic system; The second is to build a typical free trade zone that is in line with international standards, free trade, convenient investment and financial liberalization; The third is to form an open economic model that can be popularized and replicated; Fourth, drive the development of the surrounding economy and make it a new growth point of China economy.

  Tong Jiadong, vice president of Nankai University, believes that from the practice in the past few years, the goal of setting up a free trade zone in China has been initially achieved, and many bold explorations have been made in the construction of institutional mechanisms, which have achieved results in some fields. The birth of the third batch of pilot free trade zones not only reflects China’s clear orientation of adhering to reform and opening up, but also fully shows that China’s implementation of the free trade pilot zone strategy is completely in line with its own economic development reality.

  7 RMB "into the basket"

  [Event] Since October 1, 2016, the RMB has been officially included in the Special Drawing Rights (SDR) currency basket of the International Monetary Fund and has become one of the official reserve currencies of the International Monetary Fund.

  [Comment] SDR is an important international reserve asset to make up for the shortage of official reserves of member countries. Before "entering the basket", the RMB was just the currency of China in a sense. RMB joining SDR means that central banks and many international institutions will actively or automatically increase their holdings of RMB assets as foreign exchange reserves. In the long run, this means that the RMB has been further recognized internationally.

  Siddharth Tiwari, director of the Strategy, Policy and Review Department of the International Monetary Fund, believes that the entry of RMB into the basket is an important milestone for China to integrate into the global financial market, and it is also the world’s recognition of China’s continuous reform. RMB’s participation in SDR currency basket can better reflect the composition of major currencies in the world today, help to enhance the representativeness and attractiveness of SDR, and promote a more stable international financial and monetary system, thus contributing to the stability and growth of the global economy. After the entry of RMB into the basket, China will also need to continuously improve the transparency of its exchange rate policy.

  8. Reform and filing of foreign investment approval

  [Event] On October 8, 2016, the Ministry of Commerce issued the Interim Measures for the Administration of the Establishment and Change of Foreign-invested Enterprises. Since then, the establishment and change of foreign-invested enterprises will be changed from examination and approval to filing, and filing will not be used as a precondition for handling industrial and commercial and foreign exchange registration procedures, if it does not involve the prohibited or restricted categories in the 2015 edition of the Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign-invested Industries, or the provisions on equity and senior management requirements in the encouraged categories.

  [Comment] For a long time, there have been two different management systems for foreign-funded and domestic-funded enterprises in China. On the one hand, domestic and foreign investors face different tax treatment, there is a special examination and approval system for the establishment and change of foreign-invested enterprises, and foreign investment access faces many restrictions; On the other hand, the establishment and perfection of the socialist market economic system objectively requires the establishment of a fair competitive business environment.

  Cui Fan, a professor in university of international business and economics, believes that the reform of foreign investment filing system has adopted the way of "establishing the trunk first, then adding branches and leaves". In the case that it is necessary to continue to promote the revision of the three laws on foreign investment and the legislative process of the unified Foreign Investment Law, this reform has grasped the key issues and made key breakthroughs in time, which is commendable.

  9 Strengthen the protection of property rights

  [Event] In November 2016, the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Improving the Property Rights Protection System and Protecting Property Rights according to Law was officially issued. This opinion has made a "top-level design" for property rights protection from many aspects, such as strengthening the protection of economic property rights of various ownership systems, improving the legal system for equal protection of property rights, properly handling property rights cases formed in history, and strictly regulating the legal procedures for the disposal of property involved.

  [Analysis] Those who have constant production have perseverance. Microscopically, the protection of property rights involves the vital interests of thousands of families; Macroscopically, the effective protection and realization of property rights of economic subjects is the basis for sustained and healthy economic and social development. This opinion gives a clear solution to the long-standing "loopholes" and "dead ends" in China’s property rights protection, which is helpful to stimulate creativity in all aspects and benefit China’s economy in an all-round way.

  Miao Rong, chief researcher of china enterprise confederation Enterprise Research Center, said that protecting all kinds of ownership rights equally embodies the spirit of fairness and will play a role of "reassuring" and "ballast stone" in enhancing the confidence of private and foreign-funded enterprises. In the long run, the implementation of this opinion is obviously conducive to optimizing the business environment of various enterprises, avoiding vicious competition in various places, and the relationship between politics and business will be more "pro-"and "clear".

  10. Clear positioning of the property market

  [Event] After a series of regulatory measures in the second half of 2016, the relationship between "restricted purchase" and "destocking" in the property market had a clear answer at the year-end Central Economic Work Conference. The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to adhere to the positioning that "houses are used for living, not for speculation".

  [Comment] In the past, the real estate industry was more regarded as an economic growth point and a consumption hotspot; Nowadays, the real estate industry is positioned as a livelihood industry that supports economic and social development. The 2016 Central Economic Work Conference will undoubtedly have a far-reaching positive impact on the stable and healthy development of the real estate market and even China’s economy.

  Liu Hongyu, director of Tsinghua University Real Estate Research Institute, said that overemphasizing the investment attribute of housing will damage its residential attribute. At present, China is in a critical period of economic transformation and structural adjustment. In order to achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, we must concentrate on putting major social resources and capabilities into reform and innovation, economic growth and social development. At this stage, emphasizing the residential property of housing is to avoid putting too much social resources into it in pursuit of virtual housing value.

Reflection on the Teaching of Chinese Pinyin

Recently, I received many calls from parents of students asking about the pronunciation of the Chinese pinyin "O". Students and parents have different opinions on this, including "nest", "oh" and "oh".


After understanding, it is found that many parents will learn pinyin in advance through extracurricular training courses and online courses before their children enter school, in order to reduce the pressure on their children to learn Chinese pinyin. However, the professional level of teachers in these institutions and platforms is uneven, so it is difficult to guarantee the teaching quality. In fact, as a section of Chinese teaching, Chinese Pinyin is not paid as much attention as other sections, such as literacy, writing, reading and writing. Therefore, whether it is teaching seminars or training lectures, there is very little content about Chinese Pinyin, and even professional teachers have little chance to get relevant knowledge training. The pronunciation of "O" is a difficult point in pinyin teaching, because only modal particles such as "Oh" and "Oh" are close to the pronunciation of "O", and modal particles make different sounds because of the speaker’s different emotions and mouth sizes, so it is difficult to pronounce the sound of "O" accurately.


In pinyin teaching, the Chinese Pinyin Scheme is the basis and the curriculum standard is the program. The Ministry of Education once replied in official website that the "O" in Chinese Pinyin should be pronounced "Oh". There are 63 hanyu pinyin, including 6 single vowels. The pronunciation of monosyllabic vowels is characterized by loud voice, good mouth shape when pronouncing, and the mouth shape and tongue position remain unchanged. As one of the monosyllabic vowels, the letter "O" is a round lip sound. In addition to the pronunciation characteristics of monosyllabic vowels, the upper and lower lips are naturally rounded, the back of the tongue is contracted, and the back of the tongue is raised.


The above is a professional way to explain the pronunciation of the Chinese phonetic alphabet "O". In teaching, of course, we can’t explain academic terms and theoretical knowledge to students stiffly. We should learn the pronunciation of letters by teachers’ demonstration and students’ observation of teachers’ mouth shapes. There is another relatively simple and easy-to-learn method: pronounce a "bo" sound first, the sound is prolonged, the mouth shape remains unchanged, and the rest of the sound is "O". By analogy, syllables such as "Po", "Mo", "Fo" and "Wo" are pronounced with a continuous sound length, and the rest of the sounds are also the letter "O". In teaching practice, if it is difficult for students to pronounce the letter "O" correctly, there is no need to force it too much, because when they form syllables with other letters, it does not affect the overall pronunciation of syllables.


Facing the first-grade pupils, pinyin teaching is rich, vivid and intuitive, which can better protect children’s thirst for knowledge in learning Chinese, guide them to acquire new knowledge in interesting games and specific situations, and improve their literacy. In teaching, we can fully tap the resources of teaching materials and develop children’s language and thinking while teaching Chinese Pinyin. In the pinyin teaching part of the textbook, there are a large number of theme maps, which integrate the sound and shape of letters with the specific situations in life, making the originally boring letters become familiar, sensible and meaningful things. In teaching, teachers help students to pronounce correctly, master the shape characteristics of letters and reduce the difficulty of memorizing them by guiding them to practice reasonably in imagination and speaking.


In teaching practice, according to the provisions of Chinese Curriculum Standard for Compulsory Education (2021 Edition), students "can read Chinese characters by using Chinese Pinyin, and learn to look them up in the dictionary by using phonetic order retrieval method and radical retrieval method", which emphasizes the instrumentality of Pinyin learning. The current unified Chinese textbook has also greatly reformed the teaching content of the first volume of grade one, delaying the learning content of pinyin, recognizing and writing some commonly used Chinese characters first, and then learning Chinese pinyin. At the same time, in pinyin teaching, the learning task of word recognition is properly arranged, and word recognition and learning pinyin are integrated with each other. This can make children’s "first impression" of Chinese not letters.ɑO, e ",but the Chinese character" heaven, earth and man ".
