My hometown is Sangzhi County, Zhangjiajie City, and I am a Tujia boy. Different from the general New Year’s Eve dinner, we usually have a reunion dinner in the early morning of the New Year’s Eve, almost as early as possible, and families will start preparing from dawn.
Therefore, every year at the reunion dinner, the family will experience the moment when the sky is bright after eating. If we are lucky, we can also hear the sound of fireworks and firecrackers set off by nearby residents during the reunion dinner. On this day, people will look forward to the good weather in the coming year, just like farmers, and they all hope that all their wishes will come true and everything will go well in the new year.
Family members have been preparing dishes for the reunion dinner since early in the morning.
When I was a child, I heard from the older generation that Tujia people have the custom of catching up with the New Year, usually having a reunion dinner on the night of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. But as a Tujia, I have had a reunion dinner on the morning of New Year’s Eve since I was a child. Yes, this is our morning New Year’s Eve dinner.
This year is the same. Our family chose to have a reunion dinner at our third aunt’s house. It is said that three aunts and three uncles have been buying food since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, including killing pigs from the countryside, and then finding people to smoke them into bacon and sausages. Smoked bacon can be steamed, fried and cooked, and each method is delicious.
Except for bacon, the menu of the annual reunion dinner is "confidential", and people who come to eat don’t know what to eat until the food is served on the table. This year, I asked my third aunt for a menu in advance, including: steak, steamed sausage, fried bacon, pig’s head meat, chicken hotpot, tasty fish, bacon trotters and so on.
I got up early, set out from home and walked.13I came to my third aunt’s house in minutes, and it was early morning.sixHalf past ten. Three aunts and three uncles are already busy. "Honey, thaw the pig’s trotters first, then wash them. I’ll wash those small dishes first. After you finish, then cut the sausage." Third aunt shouted.
At this time, it was just dawn outside. In the words of my composition when I was a child, it was "the sky turned into a fish-belly white". The preparation of the two people’s dishes lasted for almost an hour, and I would help them from time to time. After washing the vegetables, it was already bright outside.
It was dawn after eating, and fireworks sounded outside the house.
At this time, I came to the most important link.——Cooking. My uncle used to work in the cookhouse squad of the army, so he naturally cooked the reunion dinner. Ignite, take out the pot, burn oil and hot dishes. One by one, the ingredients change from raw to cooked in the pot, and the hot air and aroma are intertwined. Third Aunt can’t help but say, "The dishes smell good!"
fromeightAt half past ten, relatives at home knocked at the door one after another, and my brother and nephews scrambled to open the door. "Happy New Year!" Every guest who comes in will say such a sentence. In a short time, the house was full of people.
The dishes were brought to the table and the table was quickly filled. People who were sitting around the fire table smelled the fragrance and came to the table automatically. There is a special program of Spring Festival on the news channel on TV. Overseas Chinese all live the same festival belonging to China people in different places.
Our whole family picked up cups and raised their glasses to wish a happy New Year. It was cloudy that day. Although the sun didn’t come out, there were bursts of fireworks and firecrackers outside the house.——People have a reunion dinner on the morning of New Year’s Eve, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, hoping for a better year.

British media reported on the 25th that 20 Minutos, Spain’s largest newspaper, voted online on its website and selected "the most beautiful female politician in the world". Luciana Leon, a young female parliamentarian from Peru, was ranked first for the time being. Other beautiful politicians on the list include US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Republican vice presidential candidate Palin, and China Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu is also on the list, ranking 37th.
Peruvian beauty is known as "the eighth wonder"
According to the report, 54 female politicians shortlisted for this vote came from 30 countries including Israel, Italy, Afghanistan, Ukraine and Finland.
At present, the voting results show that Luciana Leon, a Peruvian congresswoman who is a lawyer, won about 24,000 votes and was temporarily elected as the "most beautiful female politician" in the world. The blond Leon is 30 years old and is now the youngest member of Congress in Peru. One voter described her as having an "angel face", and even worse, praised her beauty as "the eighth wonder of the world".
In the second place, a female member of parliament from Peru, 47-year-old Mercedes Arauz, won about 15,000 votes. She is Peru’s Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism.
Two Chinese are on the list.
On the Chinese side, there are two Penny Wong the list, namely, China Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu, ranked 37th, and Australian Minister of Climate Change and Water Resources Huang Yingxian, ranked 48th. Voters gave Jiang Yu an evaluation that she was beautiful and generous, and her manners were quite decent.
Jiang Yu, 44, was born and raised in Beijing. She graduated from the Foreign Affairs College, the cradle of China diplomats, in 1986. She was proficient in English and worked in the Permanent Mission of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China to the United Nations. Since 2003, she has been a spokesperson for the Office of the Commissioner in. At the end of 2005, she was transferred back to the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing as a political counselor. In 2006, she became the deputy director and spokesperson of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Hillary Clinton was shortlisted for the "oldest"
Palin, a 44-year-old US vice presidential candidate, ranked 24th with 3,173 votes. The 61-year-old US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ranked 34th. She is the oldest female politician on the list. In addition, Tymoshenko, the Ukrainian Prime Minister whose beauty has long been recognized by the outside world and known as the "natural gas princess", ranked eighth.

Fujikawa Yuri, known as the most beautiful Japanese parliamentarian, also made the list, ranking fifth. Fujikawa Yuri has a star-like face. Earlier, in order to promote the tourism industry in her hometown, she tried her best and even boldly launched a photo album to boost the local economy.
None of the British female politicians was selected.
Surprisingly, there are many young and beautiful female parliamentarians in Britain, and no one is selected for this list. This inevitably makes British journalists somewhat frustrated. In this regard, the British "Daily Mail" said: "British female politicians may not attract the attention of people in other countries in the world in terms of appearance, but they are also very eye-catching."
A reporter from 20 Minutes said: "I don’t think British female politicians are famous for their beauty, but if you browse female politicians around the world, some of them are really attractive."
According to him, hundreds of readers sent emails to the voting website to discuss their views, but none of them volunteered to add British female politicians to the voting list of the "Global Beauty Politicians List".
Spain has five female politicians on the list, which is the country with the largest number of finalists, followed by the United States and Mexico with four people on the list.

Zang Haijia, Deputy Director of Science and Technology and Climate Change Department of China Meteorological Bureau, Fang Xiang, Deputy Director of National Meteorological Center, Yuan Jiashuang, Deputy Director of National Climate Center, and Zheng Jiangping, Deputy Director of Public Meteorological Service Center of China Meteorological Administration answered questions from reporters.
National Weather and Climate Characteristics and Major Climate Events in March
In March, China’s climate was generally warm and dry. In March, the national average temperature was 6.7℃, 1.9℃ higher than normal, and the third highest in the same period since 1961. The national average precipitation is 26.4 mm, 10.3% less than normal. The main weather and climate events are as follows:
First, meteorological drought has emerged and developed in some parts of the south.In the first half of March, the temperature in East China, South China and South China rose rapidly, and the precipitation was less than 80% compared with the normal period. The meteorological drought emerged and developed rapidly. The precipitation since March 16 eased the drought in the above areas. However, meteorological drought in Yunnan, Shandong and other places continued. As of March 31, there were moderate to severe meteorological droughts in Shandong, central and western Anhui, parts of southern Sichuan and most of Yunnan, and some were particularly dry.
Second, there are many cold air processes.Since March, there have been four cold air processes in China, 0.4 times more than normal. From March 11th to 14th, the national cold wave process dropped significantly, and the temperature dropped by more than 14℃ in the southeastern part of China, the central and eastern Inner Mongolia, and the northwestern Shaanxi. The windy and cool weather had a certain impact on facility agriculture and animal husbandry in some areas.
Third, the dust process is strong.Since March, there have been four sandstorm weather processes affecting China, among which the sandstorm process from March 19 to 24 was the strongest and most extensive this year, reaching the level of strong sandstorm. The windy and dusty weather has caused the air quality in more than 60 cities to reach the level of severe and above pollution, but the intensity is weak compared with the strongest dusty weather process in China in the past 12 years from March 13 to 18, 2021.
Fourth, the first large-scale strong convective weather process occurred in Jiangnan and South China this year.From March 22 to 24, a large-scale strong convective weather process occurred in Jiangnan and South China. Thunderstorms of magnitude 8 to 12 occurred in southern Jiangnan and northern South China, and hail occurred in Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangxi and Guangdong. The largest hail diameter in Ganzhou, Jiangxi and Nanping, Fujian reached more than 50 mm.
April Climate Trend Forecast and Meteorological Service Tips
Temperature: the temperature in the western region is low, and the temperature in the central and eastern regions is high. There are mainly three cold air processes affecting China in April, and the time and intensity are: early (strong), late (weak) and early (weak).
Precipitation: North China, Northeast China, Huanghuai, Jiangnan, Tibet, Northwest China and other places have more precipitation. It is estimated that in April, the precipitation in North China, the eastern and southern parts of Northeast China, Huanghuai, Jiangnan, Tibet, and the northeastern part of Northwest China will be more than normal, including Beijing, Tianjin, most of Hebei, Shanxi, central Inner Mongolia, most of Jiangxi, Shandong, northern Henan, most of Hunan, central and western Tibet, and northwestern Shaanxi. Yunnan and southern Xinjiang are 20% to 50% less.
According to the climate trend forecast in April, there are three aspects of meteorological service tips and suggestions:
The first is to prevent the adverse effects of dust, fog and haze on public health.During the active period of cold air, there is a great risk of sandstorm weather in northern China, which affects the atmospheric environment, outdoor construction, human health and travel safety. It is suggested to take timely countermeasures. During the cold air intermission, the elderly, children and the infirm are prone to respiratory diseases and need to be protected.
The second is to prevent the risk of rain and waterlogging.The precipitation in Hunan and Jiangxi has a moderate risk of waterlogging, so it is necessary to pay attention to prevent secondary disasters such as flash floods, landslides and mudslides that may be caused by heavy precipitation, as well as urban and rural waterlogging.
The third is to prevent the influence of late spring cold, late frost, snowstorm and drought on agriculture.There is a risk of late spring cold and late frost in winter wheat areas in early days. It is suggested that measures should be taken to improve the adaptability of wheat seedlings to freezing injury and to prepare and strengthen agricultural heat preservation facilities. Southern Tibet needs to pay attention to the impact of snow disaster, so it is suggested to reserve grain and grass in advance, take measures such as wind prevention, reinforcement, cold protection and warmth preservation for facility agriculture, and do a good job in transportation, electricity and communication to deal with the freezing rain and snow. The drought in southern Sichuan and Yunnan will continue or develop, so it is suggested to seize the favorable weather to carry out artificial precipitation enhancement, strengthen water storage and conservation, and do a good job in fire prevention.
Next ten days(April 5-April 14)Weather trend forecast
Precipitation: In the next 10 days, the accumulated precipitation in most parts of southern China, the eastern part of Northeast China and eastern Tibet will be 10 to 40 mm, including 50 to 70 mm in parts of southern China and northern South China.

Traffic flow prediction
HAPPY NEW YEAR
1. The traffic congestion pressure in the business circle will increase. At present, the theme activities of major supermarkets and entertainment venues for New Year’s Day are being vigorously carried out, and shopping, catering, entertainment and other activities are further increased during the holiday period. During the lunch and evening meals, there will be a phenomenon of slow traffic around some business districts.
2. The risk of rural road traffic safety has increased. During the New Year’s Day, it is winter, and rural areas enter the winter break and leisure time. With the approach of the New Year’s Day, people’s activities of purchasing new year’s goods are increasing day by day, and the road markets of provincial highways and counties in some countries are more prosperous, so traffic accidents are prone to occur when vehicles pass through the relevant sections of the market.
Driving tips for New Year’s Day holiday
HAPPY NEW YEAR
1. During the New Year’s Day, please try to take public transport and take the vehicle at the regular passenger station. Do not intercept the vehicle outside the station or beside the expressway, and refuse to take illegally operated and overcrowded vehicles.
2. Please pay close attention to the traffic information and traffic safety tips, understand the road conditions, easy-to-block sections and bypass routes along the way, plan the travel time and routes in advance, and try to avoid the travel peak. In case of heavy road traffic and traffic congestion, please wait patiently and queue up in turn.
3. Fatigue driving will lead to poor judgment and slow response, and increase the risk of operational errors. Please arrange the rest time reasonably to ensure adequate sleep, drive continuously for no more than 4 hours, and stop for no less than 20 minutes. If you feel sleepy and in poor condition, please choose a safe place to stop and rest.
4. When you return to your hometown on New Year’s Day, your family will be reunited and you should drink moderately. Drinking alcohol leads to slow response and slow action, and the driver’s ability to control the vehicle decreases. For the safety of you and others, don’t drink and drive!
5. When the vehicle has a minor property traffic accident, please move the vehicle to the side of the road after taking photos to fix the evidence, set a warning sign 150 meters away from the incoming direction, turn on the danger warning light, and call the police in time. Drivers and passengers should leave the vehicle and the road to avoid secondary accidents.

It should be said that the excavation of various themes by Europeans and Americans (to be precise, Americans) is still relatively textured in film and television. No matter whether it is scary folk customs or ancient myths, even if it is presented in the form of cartoons, it can be used to tell quite interesting stories with the lens of "all ages".
Among them, the most widely known ones in China are Monster Hostel and How to Train Your Dragon. The former brings together all kinds of "black myth bosses" from Western Europe to Slavic and Egyptian, while the latter sublimates tenderness in the rough and heroic Nordic Viking.
These days, the Christmas atmosphere has gradually become rich. Although I don’t know what new animation surprises there are this Christmas, I can at least recommend a wonderful masterpiece about whether Santa Claus is a pyramid scheme or a leek man under KPI three years ago-Klaus: The Secret of Christmas.
This cartoon is "wonderful" because on the one hand, you have to marvel at the deep imagination of foreigners after watching it, and it can give a "simple New Year mascot" a brand-new soul and story; On the other hand, after watching for a long time lost in thought:
Imagination can really change the world.
one
Selflessness and encouragement make you happy.
First of all, if I say that Santa Claus gives gifts to children every year, it is actually just a "pyramid scheme" set up by a "rich second generation" postman for KPI, it is estimated that many people will say "this is too outrageous", but in Klaus: The Secret of Christmas, it tells the audience a unique version:
Jasper, a rich second generation, was originally ignorant, idled all day and lived a luxurious life. His father paid him to send him to the Royal Postal College to train the postman and turned out to be the worst student in the hospital. So his father told him to go to Smith Rensburg (a very remote island) as a postman, and he had to send 6,000 letters a year to come back, otherwise he would not be able to get the inheritance right. However, when I got to the local area, Jasper discovered that this island was like hell-
People here are divided into two factions, one is the krum family, and the other is the Elimbo family. Due to historical reasons, they are full of hatred for each other and fight whenever they meet. From adults to children, they are organized, disciplined and have family traditions, and no one can shake them.
By setting traps, stabbing and plotting against each other, and the human feelings here are indifferent, there is no communication between them, only fighting, not to mention writing letters, which is so literary and warm. None of the previous postmen can survive in such an inhuman environment. At first, he was full of confidence, but he was repeatedly frustrated.
Just as Jasper was about to give up his job as a postman, he found Klaus, a mysterious old man who lived on the top of the island. Klaus was a carpenter.
The whole person looks "weird and cruel". After his wife died, he lived alone in a hut full of handmade toys. The two teamed up to give toys to the children on the island, provided that the children wrote to Klaus to express their wishes.
Since then, the secret of "You can get a gift as long as Jasper helps you mail a letter" has spread among the children … So, this incredible friendship has brought the island back to life, and the indifference and estrangement between people has been broken. Jasper also officially started the endeavor journey of hitting KPI with Klaus’ gift and returning to the peak of constantly chauffeured as soon as possible.
Later, there were more and more rumors about Klaus:
"Klaus will leave gifts in socks hanging on the fireplace!" "Klaus likes cookies!" "Klaus will come in through the chimney!" "Klaus flew over the roofs of thousands of families in the moonlight in a sleigh pulled by reindeer!" ……
The picture extends out of the camera, and a gentle and beautiful story comes to an end.
I am convinced that westerners engage in the theme of "redemption", even in cartoons. Klaus: The Secret of Christmas mainly has two aspects of "redemption", one is the hero’s soul redemption in doing a good job, and the other is the local people’s reflection and redemption in silent resolution.
As for the sublimation level of the theme, it is even more "universal". In friendship, love and affection, it promotes the spirit of "giving a rose, leaving a lingering fragrance in your hand"-
] a true act of good will always sparks another’s most selfless dedication is the most inspiring.
two
Refinement and sublimation are warm enough.
Klaus: The Secret of Christmas is such a family fun "warm cookies". The beauty of the film is that in the first half of the film, a particularly sad and chilling island is created by means of horror and suspense, and it is perfectly changed by inspiration and redemption in the feelings of "the more depraved it is, the more it is worth saving" in European and American cultures.
In addition, the relationship between the two factions on the island seems to be more worthy of the audience’s deep thinking-
Feud, hostility, refusal to communicate.
I firmly believe that this relationship is a kind of national contradiction and racial conflict that the creator deliberately implies and can map the real world, such as wars and prejudices around the world and hatred that seems to never coexist.
But on the island in the story, it doesn’t seem so "serious". At most, only the children can’t go to school, or are under house arrest or lack of care. Until the arrival of the protagonist Jasper changed all this. With the spread of love and care, the whole village has also undergone great changes … All people are inspired to practice the concept of "the most selfless dedication, the most inspiring" and bring happiness to others:
Because of Jasper’s dedication, Alva finally realized his dream of starting a school;
Because of Alva’s dedication, local children have the opportunity to read and read;
Because of Klaus’ dedication, children’s childhood has expectations and more joy;
It is also because of the dedication of the children that the adults began to become friendly, and then the residents of the whole island began to give up the struggle and live in harmony, making the indifference between people a thing of the past forever.
In the process of this happiness transmission, everyone is gradually changing in a good direction. As for the "reverse force", the most obvious thing is Jasper himself-
From a selfish and unmotivated constantly chauffeured man at the beginning, he has gradually become a caring and responsible person who makes his father proud.
Speaking of which, I don’t know if anyone has found one thing. In the seemingly mythical "Origin" story, there is actually no magic, elves and luxurious palaces throughout, but only ordinary people just like you and me.
The most obvious thing is that the well-known "The Birth of Santa Claus" is based on the secular feelings carefully arranged by the creator. Therefore, this animation not only got a high score of 8.3 on IMDb, but also got 7 nominations for the Annie Award, which is known as the animation Oscar.
three
Intention and logic are innovation.
The whole film is highly completed, well-made, and the story is warm, simple and pure. There is no metaphor for eggs or anything to pay tribute to. You may guess the ending and the fate of the characters, but there is nothing new in the story.
Lovely painting style, plain healing story, rich characters and their own characteristics. Meet the yearning of some audiences with girlish hearts for fairy tales. Realistic fairy tales are created by kind people, not illusory "magic".
At this point, my thoughts return to the comparison between "theme" and "material" at the beginning of this article. I am glad to find that we are not bad. At least so far, we have begun to explore the doorway and have some good signs for the refinement and sublimation of the theme.
Monkey King Reborn, another domestic animation I revisited a few days ago, saw another side of it while netizens commented on "excessive consumption":
The mythical characters are humanized, the animation style is vivid, the creative thinking is open and the theme is sublimated. Although the fourth "sublimation" has also been shown in some domestic animations in the past, such as "My life is not determined by the sky" in "The Magic Boy" and "Modern Human Context" in "Steampunk" in "The Legend of the White Snake 2", these are worthy of study and discussion by people in the industry. At least the domestic animation creators are aware of one thing:
If you don’t fool the audience, you must take the initiative to "evolve".
Especially in today’s increasingly integrated Eastern and Western cultures, if we want to carry forward the national culture and get real praise and recognition, we must learn to dig deep into some contents outside the original theme, or the common feelings of human beings or the feelings that are connected with each other.
As for the audience’s world, it is not so complicated. At least tell a vivid story about the origin of Santa Claus "Claudie", so that people who grow up are still full of childlike innocence; It is not a difficult thing to fully display the beautiful elements such as friendship, faith, companionship, growth and love.
Thanks to this movie, Christmas and Santa Claus have been given a better meaning.
I still want to thank this movie, which may make more people think about an already existing fact:
Imagination can really change the world.
