Photographers are creating around the long street banquet.


  At noon, the rain stopped, and after the traditional sacrifice and blessing activities, the New Year’s dinner was officially opened in the sound of firecrackers for 20 minutes. 260 tables filled with dishes and thousands of tourists crowded the 1,132-meter-long old street. More than 10 ancient town specialties such as sesame balls, three-in-one mixed incense and smoked tofu have opened thousands of tourists’ eyes. Laughter, cheers, shouts of punching and drinking … turned the ancient town upside down.


  In yesterday’s old street, visitors with bowls and chopsticks could be seen everywhere. They shuttled between the tables, with a piece of pig’s head meat on this table and a piece of fish on that table. Yan Han, a photographer who rushed from the main city, simply put a pair of chopsticks in his camera bag, and when he met his favorite dish, he took out his chopsticks and took a bite. The residents of the old street are extremely hospitable. Whenever anyone passes by, they will warmly greet them: "Come, look at what you eat." They also invite guests to sit down, drink wine and chat at home.

In-depth evaluation of dating with Golf 7 1.4T Ultimate Edition

    As of September 2013, (|) Car Series has sold more than 340,000 cars in Europe, firmly occupying the top spot in European car sales. Not only is it sought after by consumers, but also by car media people. After winning the 2013 World Car Award and the 2013 European Car of the Year award, even the Japanese media, which has always protected the calf, awarded the 2013 Japanese Car Award to Golf 7.

    What is the charm that makes Golf 7 so sought after? Can the domestically produced Golf 7 maintain the same quality? How does the torsion beam suspension affect the handling and comfort of the vehicle? Today, we will find the answer through detailed experience and professional tests. Before entering the detailed evaluation, let’s take a quick look at some questions about Golf 7.

Home of the car

Where is Golf 7 new? What’s the difference with Golf 6?

1. New platform: upgrade from PQ35 platform to MQB platform (transverse engine modular platform).

    What benefits can the new platform bring? This starts with understanding the differences between the two platforms. Generally speaking, PQ35 platform is a platform that can only produce and develop compact cars (cars, SUVs, MPVs, etc.), while MQB platform can produce and develop small cars, compact cars and medium-sized cars (horizontal engine models).

    Broader derivatives mean more spare parts can be shared. According to the official introduction, products from the same module platform of MQB can share the same specifications of engines, gearboxes and air conditioners, and the sharing ratio is about 60% of the whole vehicle parts, thus greatly saving the development cost of new cars.

2. New design: the game between inheritance and innovation

    For the public and golf, brand recognition and the retention of traditional elements are often paid great attention to in design. This creates a lot of difficulties for designers, not only to make it look new and beautiful enough, but also not to leave behind the necessary contents such as "public face" and "golf element".

Volkswagen FAW-Volkswagen Golf 2014 1.4TSI Automatic Basic Model

    Compared with the 6th generation, the lines of Golf 7 are tougher and sharper, and at the same time, the proportion of details of the body has been adjusted a lot. For example, lowering the car body and increasing the car width can make the golf 7 look more dynamic. Compared with the 6th generation, the interior of the vehicle has also added more sense of design. The introduction of asymmetric design and the addition of piano paint are all aimed at giving people a sense of freshness and grade.

3. new power: EA211 high-power version has excellent performance

    All the departments of Golf 7 will be equipped with EA211 engines, in which the parameters of 1.6L engine and 1.4T low-power engine are slightly improved compared with the current ones, while the EA211 high-power model we got has a maximum power of 150 HP and a peak torque of 250 Nm, which is not small improvement compared with the current 131 HP and 220 Nm.

Volkswagen FAW-Volkswagen Golf 2014 1.4TSI Automatic Flagship Type

    Our measured 0-100km/h acceleration time of Golf 7 1.4T high-power version is only 8.20 seconds, and its performance is comparable to that of (|) and (|) with 1.6T engine. Compared with the performance of the 6th generation of 9.22 seconds (measured in car home), it has improved by one second, and it is at the leading level in the same level.

4. New suspension: The rear torsion beam suspension becomes a hot spot again.

    As soon as the domestic Golf 7 came out, the change of the rear suspension once again became the target of public criticism. First of all, it can be affirmed that this is indeed a practice to reduce costs, regardless of what space is saved, because the seating space of Golf 7 is exactly the same whether it is equipped with torsion beam suspension version or multi-link suspension version.

Volkswagen FAW-Volkswagen Golf 2014 1.4TSI Automatic Basic Model

    What really makes people feel uncomfortable is that the 1.4T high-powered version is not spared. You know, in Germany, this version is a genuine multi-link. Fortunately, from the actual driving experience, Golf 7 does not decline in sports, but rises. The tighter suspension has stronger toughness than the sixth generation when cornering, but the comfort is weakened a lot, especially when riding in the back row. The feeling of vibration is very obvious.

5. New configuration: electronic handbrake, automatic parking, engine start-stop and adaptive cruise set a new benchmark.

    The Golf 7 comes standard with an electronic handbrake and an AUTOHOLD automatic parking system. No matter in the configuration list or in use, there is a feeling that the competitors at the same level are superior. However, in actual use, the simultaneous starting and stopping of the engine and automatic parking will really affect some comfort, which will be discussed in the configuration part later. Let’s sell it here first.

Volkswagen FAW-Volkswagen Golf 2014 1.4TSI Automatic Basic Model

    Engine start-stop and adaptive cruise belong to the high-altitude configuration, whether it appears on high-equipped models or optional, and the manufacturer has not yet made it clear. There is nothing to say about starting and stopping, but the new version of the adaptive cruise system is eye-catching, and it basically realizes the "follow-up function". Not only can you stop with the front car when you encounter a red light, but you can also continue to follow the front car when you start again.

6. New entertainment system: MIB Standard Plus video details.

Volkswagen FAW-Volkswagen Golf 2014 1.4TSI Automatic Basic Model

    With the overall upgrade of the interior, the car entertainment system has also been replaced by the MIB Standard Plus. In fact, its sales are really average, because the screen size is only 5.8 inches, which is slightly larger than the 5.5-inch screen of Samsung Note2. Of course, the resolution is much worse. The function of the system is comprehensive, but the reaction speed is average.

What versions of Golf 7 will be available? What version is our test car?

    In terms of power, the future Golf 7 will be divided into 1.6 and 1.4T displacement, of which the 1.4T engine is divided into high-power version (110 kW) and low-power version (96 kW). Among them, the 1.6L and 1.4T low-power versions will become the main sales force, while the 1.4T high-power version may only have 1-2 models.

    Judging from the known information given by the government, the future Golf 7 can be divided into fashion type, comfort type, luxury type and flagship type, which is similar to the layout of the current six generations. Fashion models should only be available in 1.6L models, while the configuration of the flagship model is prepared for the 1.4T high-power version. According to the experience of the 6th generation, comfort and luxury will still be the main sales force. Before the price is announced, you can make a calculation according to the configuration.

    Our test car is a 1.4T high-power version of the flagship, which represented the strongest strength of domestic Golf 7 before the 7th GTI went on the market. Can Golf 7 set a new benchmark? In the next evaluation, we analyze them one by one.

Silver hair economy, financial "window"?

On January 5th, the executive meeting of the State Council was held to study the policy measures to develop the silver-haired economy and enhance the well-being of the elderly. The meeting emphasized that developing the silver-haired economy is an important measure to actively cope with the aging population and promote high-quality development, which is beneficial to both the present and the long-term.

Member Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and Vice President of south university of science and technology of china Jin Li:
When the age of longevity comes, finance can play an important supporting role in coping with the aging population. It should be noted that the elderly are mostly dependent on property income, and their finances are fragile and sensitive, so they need better financial planning. In addition, with the extension of life expectancy, some elderly people may face the risk of disability and dementia in the future, and further aging transformation of financial services is needed. Furthermore, some private nursing homes run away after misappropriation of funds or even losses, and some financial products related to the elderly are misleading or even fraudulent, which seriously threatens the wealth security of the elderly. Some elderly people have low education level, poor ability to resist financial fraud, and sometimes excessive pursuit of high returns, misleading, leading to heavy losses.
In this regard, we must first strengthen investor education and financial planning for the elderly to help them enhance their risk awareness; Secondly, according to the characteristics of pension finance, products with low and medium risks, stable returns, long term and both savings and insurance functions should be created in a targeted manner, and the state provides tax incentives and minimum return insurance. Thirdly, in view of the problem that some elderly people’s children with mental deterioration or mental disabilities lack financial decision-making ability, we can learn from international experience, establish and improve the financial service entrustment system and the major contract review system, and create a stable long-term plan for them. Finally, it is suggested to regulate the use of funds through bank custody accounts to ensure the safety of pension investment.
Dong Ximiao, Principal Investigator of Zhaolian:
To implement the spirit of the State Council executive meeting and other related meetings and develop the silver-haired economy, both policies and markets are essential. On the one hand, the government should protect the basics and take the bottom line, and strengthen the basic guarantee; On the other hand, by making good use of the market mechanism, all kinds of business entities, including financial institutions, should give full play to their respective advantages to meet the diversified needs of silver-haired groups.
For financial institutions, they should focus on the long-term development of the pension market, optimize the allocation of financial resources, accelerate the innovation of products and services, strive to seize business opportunities such as asset management, custody, deposit and insurance, and tap indirect business opportunities such as account, card issuance and settlement. From the perspective of organizational structure, qualified financial institutions can set up a pension finance department, or set up a franchise institution for pension financial services, such as setting up a pension management company, to enhance the professional service ability of finance in the pension field. At the same time, we should constantly strengthen and improve the education of financial consumers, popularize financial knowledge in an appropriate way, strive to improve the financial literacy of silver-haired people, and enhance their awareness and ability of risk prevention.
Xiaobian Tip: Each type of pension financial products has its own unique advantages and disadvantages and suitable investment groups. For details, please consult professional financial institutions!
In addition, what other pension financial products do you know? Welcome to share them with you in the message area!

  The intensity and duration of human immune response have not yet been determined.

  Recently, many places reported cases of secondary infection in rehabilitation patients in COVID-19. On 26th local time, Kokhov, technical director of WHO’s health emergency project, said that both asymptomatic infected patients and severe patients will have immune response after being infected with Covid-19, but the intensity and duration are not fully understood.

  Outbreaks occurred in colleges and universities in at least 24 States after the start of school in the United States.

  Cdc downplays the importance of virus detection, which leads to dissatisfaction.

  In the United States, where the epidemic is the most serious, the cumulative number of confirmed cases has exceeded 5.82 million and the number of deaths has reached nearly 180,000. At present, many universities in the United States have started school, and the spread of the epidemic on campus is not optimistic.

  As of the 25th local time, since students returned to school, colleges and universities in at least 24 states in the United States have reported relevant cases, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases of college students and faculty has exceeded 3,300, which has brought no small challenge to the resumption of classes and epidemic prevention and control in the United States.

  Among them, the University of Alabama has reported more than 500 confirmed cases of COVID-19 since 19th, and school officials said that the growth rate of confirmed cases in the university has reached an "unacceptable level". At present, the university has announced that social gatherings are prohibited inside and outside the school, and those who violate relevant regulations will be punished.

Texas A&M University also reported more than 400 confirmed cases.

However, when the epidemic situation is so severe, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revised its COVID-19 guidelines on 26th local time, and the revised guidelines played down the importance of Covid-19 testing for people without symptoms.

  In this regard, New York Governor Cuomo said that "the latest guidelines of CDC are essentially self-contradictory, which is completely contrary to what he said before". He also said that "updating the guidelines is for political purposes" and that New York State will not follow the latest guidelines. New York State Health Commissioner Zach also revealed, "I have talked with CDC scientists, and they said that this change is related to politics."

  The GDP of OECD members fell the most in the second quarter.

  The 2021 annual meeting of Davos Forum was forced to be postponed for half a year.

  The "cloud" of the epidemic has been lingering for a long time, and the global economic situation is hard to see.

Hello, everyone, I am a vast ocean science, and welcome netizens to watch today’s headlines. < Baseball is a very interesting sport, which significantly improves physical fitness, IQ, EQ and cooperation spirit > Netizens, knowledge is a vast ocean. People are like a small fish in the ocean, and it is impossible to swim to every corner of the vast ocean. There are still many mysterious and unknown things around us waiting for us to examine, think and explore, so that we can realize that the world is so wonderful and knowledgeable. Without further ado, let’s start studying together!

Hey! Children, let’s learn how to play baseball together!

Baseball is a tense and interesting sport. It originated in the United States, and now it has spread in more than 60 countries on five continents. At the end of 19th century, this kind of movement was introduced to China by the United States and Japan.

Although baseball is small, it is changeable and wonderful to play, and unexpected things often happen. Whether you participate in the competition or watch it, it will be fascinating.

At present, baseball is not very popular in our country, and children must be very strange to this sport, but please don’t worry, I will tell you something about baseball now.

The baseball field is a right-angled fan, which is divided into infield and outfield. The infield is square, and there are three corners with bases, which are called first base, second base and third base. The last corner is the top of the court called home plate. There is no bag at home plate, only a pentagonal board is placed, which is called home plate.

Home plate is the starting point and the end point of the offensive players. The attacking team members hit the pitcher’s ball at home plate in turn, and then ran to the next base. When the next player plays ball, he can also take the opportunity to run to the next base. If an offensive player can run the first, second and third bases at one time and finally return to home plate, he will get 1 point.

The defender should wear gloves for catching the ball with one hand and try to catch the ball that the batter can hit. If he can catch the ball, the batter will be robbed and killed. If you can’t catch the ball, you should pick it up quickly, and then immediately pass it to the place where you need it, so that your partner can pass and kill the attacker who hasn’t had time to Jin Lei. If a total of three players on the attacking side are killed out, then the two sides will exchange offensive and defensive positions. The two teams attack and defend once each, making it a game. Adults have to play nine games, and children can play five games. In the end, which team scores more points will win.

Let’s share it with you today. Friends are welcome to leave me messages, comments and forward them to interact with me. Let’s come to today’s headlines to learn science, solve the problems of this ever-changing and colorful world, face many mysterious and unknown things, and face those strange and various natural phenomena.
