The Great War of 100,000 People: The Development History of Strategic Online Games

In the field of PC stand-alone games, strategy games have always been an important game type, from the traditional turn-based SLG such as Civilization, The History of the Three Kingdoms and Heroes Invincible, to the once widely popular RTS games, to the Total War series which combines turn-based strategies and real-time strategies, and the "four cute P clubs" which are highly praised in the circle. Under this game category, there are a large number of branches, and the corresponding player group is extremely broad.

It is precisely because of the profound accumulation and huge audience of strategy games that since entering the era of online games, manufacturers have been hoping to replicate the success of strategy games on online games. For example, Microsoft’s Age of Empires Online and later Civilization Online, but they have failed to be verified or have been difficult to produce. These products can’t solve many congenital problems of strategy games in the online game environment, and with the "idol burden" of stand-alone IP itself, it is even more difficult to adapt online games.

Age of empires Online

On the contrary, in the field of web games in the same period, we went into battle lightly, focusing on the mass netizens who were not covered by the single machine, thus giving birth to a simpler rule, but also a different strategic model, and continuing this traditional artistic ability into the era of mobile games. Different from the gameplay in which single-player strategy games defeat the enemy through delicate calculation, the strategy games in mobile games/page games often greatly simplify the local strategies of individual players, and put the main challenges on the socialization and struggle between people, tribes and alliances. If you don’t understand this, it is difficult to understand what these players are playing.

Nowadays, friends who know something about the domestic game industry may know that SLG has become an advantage project of China’s games among the products sent overseas by China game manufacturers. According to a list of overseas income of mobile games in China in May this year, five of the top 10 are SLG, and the 11th is SLG, which is very exaggerated.

Interestingly, the performance of domestic SLG at home and abroad sometimes presents a distinct state. At present, the most popular in China is the country and the Three Kingdoms, while the most popular overseas are Awakening of the Nations (second only to PUBG Mobile for a long time) and Mafia Storm (both very popular in Japan and Russia), with unrelated themes and extremely low overlap.

The reason for this is not only the cultural differences, but also the version number. As the name implies, this kind of theme obviously can’t get the version number in China, while "The Awakening of All Nations" is relatively lucky. It was launched overseas in 2018, and just got the version number in China a while ago. Recently, the news that the national service will be launched on September 23rd also makes people wonder whether this product can bring foreign achievements back to China at that time.

Generally speaking, it is counter-common sense that the strategy game, which seems to be very slow and heavy, can achieve this result on the mobile platform, but it is also a reasonable result of seeking differentiated development under the changes of the times and platforms. If we want to explore how the current strategy mobile game model was born step by step, then we should go back to 2002, when web games were just emerging …

Preface to the era of web games

In 2002, OGame, the first web game with strategic play, came out. It relies on simple graphics to build a space world and immerse many players in it. In the game, players can collect resources, build and upgrade buildings, study technology and build a fleet to fight against other players, and players can also join alliances, which constructs the basic system of strategic web games.

In 2007, Ogame opened a Chinese server and became familiar to some domestic players. The picture shows the traditional Chinese version of the interface.

After OGame, Inno Games, a German company, launched a game called Tribal Wars in 2003, which gained greater popularity with a more graphical interface and medieval settings. One year after the launch of Tribal Wars, Travian, published by a German college student, separated resources from the former system and introduced three different nationalities, thus laying the foundation for this model.

In "Tribal Wars", each player started to control a medieval village. By upgrading to obtain more resources, building various necessary buildings and training the army, different players can also trade through the market. The game map is composed of a fixed range of chessboard squares, with the center as the quadrant, and each player’s village can be located by coordinates. Players can plunder and occupy other players’ villages, and they can also form tribes to jointly attack and defend.

The classic village interface of Tribal Wars, the original version is more crude.

The map composed of grids in Tribal Wars is used for reference by later strategy games.

A year later, Travian borrowed some systems from Tribal Wars, separated the fields outside the village from the buildings in the village, and set them up as a separate system by imitating the classic board game Catan Island, thus laying the foundation for strategy games in the era of web games:

On the construction level, players develop and grow by upgrading the level of buildings and resources in the main city; On the strategic level, it is a war between players and alliances.

Design of Resource Plot in Travian

"Travian" has also added Rome, Gaul and Teutonic three ethnic groups with their own characteristics in terms of resource utilization, military capabilities and defensive values, as well as oasis, heroes, equipment and other systems for plundering and occupying resources. The interface is also more beautiful and friendly, and it is very popular in Europe and other places. Around 2007, the Chinese version of Travian was introduced into China, which attracted a considerable number of gamers and brought a new direction to the domestic game development team.

In 2008, Hangzhou Legong launched Hot Blood Three Kingdoms, and announced that the number of registered players exceeded 10 million at the end of that year. The system of the game is mainly borrowed from Travian, and the theme of the Three Kingdoms, which domestic players are most familiar with, is selected. The system of military commanders, equipment and strategies, and the PVE battlefield with the romance of the Three Kingdoms as the background are introduced, which makes the system more functional, and the theme of the Three Kingdoms is undoubtedly more attractive to domestic players. In terms of marketing, with the rise of the mode of joint operation, "Hot Blood Three Kingdoms" also gained more players and became a representative product in the initial stage of China’s web game market.

The original version of "Hot Blood Three Kingdoms" interface

During this period, a large number of strategic page games appeared in Europe and America, such as "Imperia Online", "Ikariam" and other games with different themes, and some remarkable new systems such as family and public opinion were introduced into the games. In China, after the rise of Hot-blooded Three Kingdoms, a large number of strategic page games have also emerged in the market, such as adding Thirty-six Strategies, A Thousand Troops Breaking, and Seven Heroes Fighting for hegemony to the big map, and Proud of the World, which has brought great changes to the domestic page game market.

The World Map in "Proud of Heaven and Earth"

The significance of "Proud of Heaven and Earth" lies not only in the VIP rating system used by online games later, but also in the change of the game content itself: PVE’s main push-picture gameplay has brought a lot of stand-alone content experience to players; The cooling mechanism that executes first and then calculates the cooling time and can accumulate makes the player’s game experience lighter; Jiugongge’s combat play makes the presentation of war no longer just a text, but also brings real combat strategy thinking to players …

This attempt to expand the gameplay has also been reflected in some overseas games since then. For example, in the subsequent game Forge of Empires, urban construction elements similar to Sim City were introduced, and a large number of PVE maps were added. At the same time, strategies and chess games were designed, and the overall content richness was greatly improved.

The continuation of the era of mobile games

On the occasion of the development of strategic page games, social platforms at home and abroad such as Facebook and Renren have also sprung up, and after the gradual development, they began to operate web games to increase their income, which brought more opportunities to the page games market, including strategic games. Not long after, the rise of smart phones brought a real explosion to the strategy game market.

The first team to seize the opportunity of stopping the tour was mainly the team that had made achievements in the page tour market before. For example, Kabam, a big strategic page tour player, launched the mobile game "Arthur Kingdom: The Battle of the North" in 2011, which once occupied the forefront in the best-selling list in Europe and America, and was authorized by Warner for its market achievements, and launched the mobile game "The Hobbit: The Middle Kingdom" with the theme of the Lord of the Rings, but the gameplay was basically the same as "Arthur Kingdom: The Battle of the North", such as.

The Kingdom of Arthur: The Battle of the North

Another mobile game, Empire: Four Kingdoms, which was adapted from a page tour, has also achieved great success since it was launched in 2011, and its products have long been in the forefront of the best-selling list in Europe and America. Compared with the previous page games, the overall systems of these two games are not much innovative compared with the traditional mode of Travian, mainly adapting the screen and operation to the characteristics of smart phones, but also meeting the needs of gamers in the early stage of the mobile game market.

The mercenary camp system in Empire:Four Kingdoms has a unique artistic style.

The games that really brought great changes to the strategic mobile game market came from the smart phone platform, including Clash of Tribes and War Game in 2013, which brought new vitality to the game mode of Travian. The mode of Clash of Tribes is of far-reaching significance, but it is relatively special in strategy mobile games, so this article will not discuss it too much.

The main system of "War Games" has not changed much compared with the previous strategic online games. The main change comes from the great strengthening of the alliance system. In the game, if players don’t join the league, it will be difficult to continue after the initial stage, but joining the league can get a lot of intuitive benefits, such as helping each other to speed up construction, technology and training, and all other members can get gift packages when one member in the league recharges. Coupled with the automatic translation system provided by the game, players from different countries can communicate smoothly, which also brings great help to the operation of international service.

Game Interface of War Game

Another obvious change is the user experience. Construction, research or training can be completed instantly for free in a short period of time. At the same time, the task will also be given a large number of acceleration props, and with the acceleration of alliance members, the construction and development of players in the early stage of the game will be very smooth, which is also very helpful for retaining players. Coupled with the success of online rewards, task rewards, gift package discounts and other activities, the game has achieved great success in the European and American markets, and therefore it has been widely imitated by domestic game teams.

The domestic strategic mobile games that have been successful in overseas markets, such as The Disputes of Kings by ELEX, The Age of the Kingdom by IGG, The King of Avalon by Funplus, can all be regarded as the successful works of the war game ike. Compared with the war game, they have a better experience in artistic quality and detail optimization, and some new systems have also been added, such as the card system in The Age of the Kingdom. In the domestic market, Tencent’s "King of Gone with the Times" and other "war games" have also appeared, but the theme has been changed to the Three Kingdoms that domestic players are more familiar with.

It is Netease’s "The Coast of the Land" that really opens up a new road of strategic mobile games in China. Although the strategic level is also a sand table battle on the grid, the most important resource in the game is not the safe construction and production in the main city, but the player needs to occupy the corresponding land on the big map in order to obtain the continuous growth of resources; In combat, unlike the traditional strategy game, which relies on the strength of the army, the number of troops of all players in "On the Coast of the Land" is the same as that of a single unit, and it relies more on the combination of military commanders and tactics, which also reduces the gap between players with different consumption levels to some extent.

In "Land of Rate", players need to occupy the resource land on the map to increase the hourly resource output.

The design of occupying resource plots originated from Sega’s Kingdom Conquest.

Through the season, The Coast of the Land strengthens the social interaction in the game, and increases the uncertainty and freshness of the campaign. Players can choose different States of birth and join the league to compete for the world. The ultimate goal is that the league will occupy Luoyang and end a season in a limited time. Whenever the season ends, the game will start a new season, allowing players to inherit some data, reset the campaign on the map, and add some new military commanders and systems. After multiple servers enter a new server, the power of the original server will also be re-integrated and divided, so there will be different situations in each season, bringing more freshness and expectation to players.

The combination of military commanders and tactics plays a vital role in the battle.

Exploration of strategy game in the new period

"War Game Like" and "Land of the Land" both have great vitality, but their social design is slightly different. In the "war game Like", the initial alliance can bring a lot of intuitive benefits to the players, including speeding up the game behaviors that need to wait for time, such as construction, research, training, etc., and the players do not need to invest too much time in the game. In the middle and late stage of the game, the alliance formed by players will become the basic unit of the game process. When the territory of the alliance continues to expand, there will be conflicts and contradictions between the alliance and the alliance, and then some staged goals will appear.

In the mode of "Land on the Coast", in the course of the game, there is no direct benefit reward for players to join the alliance except for the resource bonus of occupying the city. The main benefit lies in the achievements of phased goals, such as the expectation of conquest and separatist regime at the end of the season, or better being a leisure "farming party" under the wings of the big league. In the end, the number of places that can be rewarded with conquest is limited, and the management needs to allocate the performance of the players in the game. Therefore, if the players want to achieve better goals, they need to invest more time in each stage of the game from the season.

These two modes have their own advantages and disadvantages, but naturally they are not the ultimate form of strategic online games. After solving the basic design and basic interaction, people will naturally pursue a more "real" battlefield experience. For example, in the past, in order to simplify the system and balance, the marching of players’ troops on the map could not be adjusted freely. The troops marched in the form of a line. After the player set the goal, the troops could only March in the past and then come back automatically-naturally, there was a game that could "March freely" later.

In 2018, when "Awakening of the Nations" just entered the market, one of its major selling points was to March freely, and the process of fighting was more intuitive and immediate, instead of giving results in one second like the previous strategy mobile game.

Map battle between marches

You can zoom to the world map directly from the city interface.

This setting, combined with playing cards by heroes and arms, allows players to achieve operations similar to those in traditional real-time strategy games. For example, in a battle, troops with unfavorable operations can be separated from the battle, or enemy troops can be intercepted by teams with more advantages or restraint, and even multiple troops can attack an enemy army at the same time, which brings more space for players to operate. Therefore, the official propaganda game is "Age of Empires" with hundreds of thousands of people playing together for thousands of hours.

The Alliance Battle in The Awakening of All Nations

Therefore, players can see such a scene: the tactics of "encircling the points to fight for help" that have been verified countless times in the war are vividly displayed in The Rise of Nations:

In the 1922 suit of "The Rise of Nations", there was a war of "Chinese Alliance vs. Arab local tyrants". At that time, there was an Arab tycoon who rushed to 12 million troops after five days of service, which was very high-profile. In this regard, under the leadership of "eunuch Zhang Fei", the Chinese League gathered 44 players and divided them into 4 pairs to besiege the big brother. At this time, other members of the Arab League tried to reinforce the local tyrant’s main city, but it was exactly what the Chinese League wanted. The latter divided troops to stop the reinforcements, so that the opponent’s main city could not get reinforcements. Waves of unorganized reinforcements became "refueling tactics" and were broken one by one. The Arab League, which was thought to be a "central flowering", was restrained by the encirclement of the Chinese League, which led to the final collapse of the whole alliance.

Of course, a large-scale war like the one mentioned above can’t be encountered every day, but on a smaller scale, the game has arranged a challenging "Egyptian War", which requires an alliance of 30 people with the most outstanding combat power and other alliances to defeat their opponents with tactical strategies in an hour of confrontation. Although the number of participants is small, it involves the elite of the alliance, so there are often long tactical discussions and resumption of the battle report before and after the start of an Egyptian war.

The operational ideas summarized by overseas players

In the overall game experience, the game also added some interesting PVE content, such as the initial fog exploration stage. The huge map where the game is located is covered with fog. Players can send scouts to explore in all directions of the map. In the process of exploration, new villages and caves can be discovered. When you enter the village or reconnaissance cave, you will have the opportunity to discover resource treasures, regional maps or initial technologies. This sense of exploration has a strong driving force for players at the beginning of the game.

The Exploration Fun in the Early Stage of The Awakening of All Nations

In addition to fog exploration, the game also provides a lot of PVE content, including a large number of expedition checkpoints against famous historical figures, as well as various daily tasks and some limited-time scene battles and activities, such as the crisis in Cerro, the City of Gold and so on. In PVP, there are also sunset canyons similar to self-playing chess and the Egyptian war of alliance PVP. Players’ participation in these activities often does not result in actual loss of troops and resources, but they can all gain considerable benefits, so even if they can’t participate in the competition between powerful alliances in the later stage, they can still have enough content to experience.

Since the initial Ogame and Travis laid the network strategy game mode of construction plus war, it has experienced more than ten years of development and exploration by developers. While the picture quality has been improved, this kind of game also has more new ways to play in the system, and it has also accumulated a large number of players for strategy games around the world. The overall scale of these players may not be large, but the time and money invested in the game far exceed other game types, which is why more and more game teams begin to develop strategy games.

The market potential of this kind of game is very huge. Last year’s "Three Kingdoms: Strategic Edition" helped Ali, who had long wanted to enter the game, to gain a firm foothold in the game industry. Because this game has repeatedly taught you various selling points through Gao Xiaosong, I will not go into details here.

In the strategy game, when the construction and development reach a certain stage, the process of war is actually very similar to the national rise and national development in history. Different from the strategy game in the stand-alone era, the biggest difference of online strategy game is that it is not a simple war between players and NPC forces, but a competition and confrontation between players and groups of players, which provides greater complexity for the game.

Therefore, for the game team, under the premise of meeting the strategic growth and fair competition of the players, it is generally designed to encourage or promote the players to socialize, and at the same time give the players freedom within the framework, so that the players naturally establish various rules and form an ecology. Therefore, in successful strategic online games, players will stage various wonderful stories on the stage built by game planners.

For example, some players infiltrated the enemy forces as spies and played an important role at a critical moment, or some players reversed the situation of the alliance through diplomatic cooperation with Lian Heng, or produced the content full of cultural breath like the essays in Land of the Land, or the unity story of Chinese players spontaneously organizing alliances to confront alliances with other countries like Awakening of the Nations, which are also the biggest changes brought by the network to strategy games.

Although players have been able to interpret real strategy stories in the game, the strategy online game in this era is naturally not the final form, and this game model is still evolving and developing. What kind of innovation can similar games bring later, and can players who like strategy games get fresh experiences? I believe this industry will give the answer with constant product competition.

The GDP data of 31 provinces in the first half of the year were all released: 16+, 15-

  According to the news of official website, Statistics Bureau of Heilongjiang Province on July 28th, according to the unified accounting results of regional GDP, the regional GDP of Heilongjiang Province in the first and second quarters of 2020 was 525.06 billion yuan, down 4.9% year-on-year.

The first trial of changing Changan Yidong XT 1.6L: In addition to minor plastic surgery, I also changed the "core"

Writing and photography: Feng Xifan @ New Car Review


At the press conference of the redesigned Yidong/Yidong XT, we heard the "spoiler" of the Changan model plan. Upgrading the original model is the "main theme" of Changan in the second half of this year.
The change is the first blow, and then we will see CS15 dual clutch and CS75.
1.5T, Yuexiang V7
1.0T and modified CS35. In other words, don’t expect to see a brand-new model this year. But don’t be disappointed. The new models will be launched next year. Here’s a spoiler again. Next year, there are plans to have CS95, Ruiyi CC, CS55 and an MPV model. The information inside is so large that it responds to everyone’s doubts about Changan’s lack of stamina to some extent.

Let’s get to the point. Let’s go back to Yi Yi XT.
Although the manufacturer stressed at the press conference that the new configuration will be slightly improved compared with the old one for the same price model. However, as can be seen from the price list, the entry model of the old model was cancelled, and the purchase threshold of Yidong rose from 74,900 to 80,900, while that of Yidong XT rose from 77,900 to 82,900.
The whole system comes standard with ESP system. It’s still the old saying I often say, to talk about cost performance without absolute price is to be a hooligan. The entry fee that has been "laid off" is estimated to be gradually replenished in the future. After all, the Yidong model should also leave some spare capacity for the next few years.

In addition to the deduction of the entry model, the 1.5T model has also been cancelled. After all, its sales share is too small. The 1.5T engine is not unemployed, but will be matched to CS75 as mentioned above.
. In the size class of CS75, 1.5T can turn customers around, which is expected to become the main sales force.
As for the automatic transmission model, the manufacturer said that 6AT would be used instead of 4AT. Considering that it often takes a long time for independent brands to match automatic gears, wait patiently. In fact, the original 4AT escape has a very good ride comfort, and the matching level is similar to those of Toyota’s previous 4AT models.

The usual trick of the car factory to change the money is to bottle the old wine in new bottles, and the three big pieces still sound like waves, and then carry out cosmetic surgery on the grille and other places. Yidong/Yidong XT has also made some changes to its appearance, but the range is too small to see through at a glance, such as changing the door handle and the rear spoiler, so I won’t elaborate here. There is a way to quickly identify the 2016 model on the road, that is, adding LED daytime running lights.
The upgrade of the invisible level is the focus of this change, which we will talk about slowly below.

The interior of Yidong/Yidong XT has been redesigned to keep up with this era. The configuration has also been improved, especially the screen of the center console. Our manual gear is equipped with Kay LiDE navigation, and it can also be connected to Baidu Carlife through mobile phones to expand its functions. In the past, the Incall function of the operator to set navigation for him was also reserved.

The biggest change of Yidong/Yidong XT is to join the direct injection 1.6L engine. Why do you say "join" instead of "switch"? Because the two engines are old and new, the manual transmission entry model still uses the original indirect injection, and the automatic transmission also uses indirect injection, which is estimated to be due to the lack of relevant matching.
The output book data of the new engine increased slightly, the maximum power changed from 92kW/6000rpm to 94kW/5700-6200rpm, and the maximum torque changed from 160Nm/4000-5000rpm to 168Nm/4000-5000rpm. The main function of direct injection technology is to reduce fuel consumption. The manufacturer claims that direct injection of 1.6L will save fuel by 8%. We see the actual effect. When driving in Qingdao, which is extremely congested, the obvious fuel consumption of the vehicle is 7.8L/100km. At first glance, the fuel consumption control of the new engine in autonomous vehicles is excellent.

I drove to the top of Yidong XT manual gear this time, using the latest 1.6L direct injection engine, and the performance of the sedan version is estimated to be close. Different from the old model, the new engine has no low torque and fatigue as before before. The more advanced driving area is more suitable for our daily driving, especially Qingdao, which is extremely congested that day and needs to stop and go frequently. Yidong XT not only doesn’t have to worry about daily fatigue, but the light pleasure of walking is actually a bit like Japanese 1.6L
A-class cars have a stronger sense of acceleration and calmness than self-priming versions of autonomous cars such as Arrizo 5 and Emgrand EC7. In fact, the acceleration of the old Yidong manual gear has been done very briskly, and the new one just inherits this advantage.

However, it may be due to the direct injection mechanism. Usually, you can hear the noise from the power system when you lightly step on the accelerator. Looking back on the old model, unless the big foot hits the accelerator, it is basically silent when stepping on the accelerator. When driving a new model, I sometimes want to deliberately control the throttle action when shifting gears, because I am afraid that passengers will hear the engine sound and mistakenly think that my manual transmission technology is not home. It is actually quite common that the noise of the power system increases after direct injection, and Honda Fit has a similar situation. In addition, in the process of gear shifting, it takes a little thought to think about the oil-separation fit, and occasionally the joint is not delicate, which will bring a subtle impact.
Although the impact is not very disturbing, I just don’t want passengers to think that I am not careful in control.

For manual transmission models, we must talk about the "novice affinity index". It can only be said that the XT clutch is easier to control, but it is not a fool. Recently, some autonomous manual gears have been tested, and the engine refueling program has become smart. Let the clutch engage.
Know how to raise the speed by a large margin. It’s a bit like a coach car whose idle speed is raised in a driving school. It can move forward easily just by lifting the clutch, and novices can easily mistake their skills for rapid progress, such as Jianghuai Ruifeng S3 and Magic Speed S6. After being used to the above-mentioned stupid car, I feel that it takes a little effort to drive the XT. Let’s talk about "feet" and "hands". The suction feeling of the manual gear is good, but the positions of the second gear and the fourth gear are very close, and the separation position is not clear. Sometimes I want to get into the second gear but get into the fourth gear.

Originally, I thought I would finish the engine test, but I felt that the vibration filtering was much better than before. Netizens often question our view that Yuexiang V7 has better driving quality than Laoyidong. The reason is actually very simple. The development time of Yuexiang V7 is later than that of Laoyidong, and the car-making level of Changan has made remarkable progress in the middle, so the driving quality of "low-end cars" is better than that of "high-end cars". However, Changan re-optimized the chassis by changing the model, which made the driving quality of the new car surpass its own Yuexiang V7. In addition to the "toughness" feeling of the suspension, another obvious improvement is NVH, which is excellent in road noise isolation, unlike some cars at the same price, so that you can always feel the wheels beating frequently by your ears. In addition, when crossing the ditch, you can’t hear the noise of the car body, and your ears are particularly clean. On the whole, Yidong XT should be one of the benchmarks of driving quality at this price, and NVH optimization is the hero behind the scenes.

Summary: the recommendation degree needs to be considered when the loan is changed to "increase the price"

Although Laoyidong is still the pillar of Chang ‘an’s sales, it is mainly sold by inertia in the later period. That is, word of mouth has been accumulated in the early stage, and even if the product strength is no longer dominant in the later stage, everyone still recognizes to buy it. For example, Chang ‘an’s own later Yuexiang V7 and Chery’s recent Arrizo 5, although the model level is lower than that of Laoyidong, the comprehensive product strength is on the contrary. The escape after the change reversed this situation, and the interior was outdated before washing. The new direct injection 1.6L is a rare type of autonomous engine that can give consideration to both acceleration and fuel consumption. After the chassis has been readjusted and NVH details have been optimized, the driving quality is superior in its class.

From the actual performance, the escape after the change is better than a series of autonomous cars such as Emgrand EC7 and Arrizo 5. However, after the change, the purchase threshold of Yidong has been raised, and the entry price has exceeded 80,000. On the other hand, the official entry price of Emgrand EC7 is more than 10,000 lower than that of Yidong. It can be said that Yidong belongs to the choice of quality, and it costs more, but the inner texture is really worth it. According to the driving experience, escape
I could have given "recommended+". Just considering the high price and the appearance that has not changed much, especially the sedan version has begun to make people feel aesthetic fatigue. To sum up, we finally give Yidong/Yidong XT a "recommendable" evaluation.


[Chang ‘an changed the model and moved it by XT 1.6L manually]

Outstanding advantages: the new engine gives consideration to acceleration and fuel consumption; Good driving quality; Excellent NVH control;

Main short board:The noise of the new engine becomes more; The entry price is higher; There is little change in appearance.

The first day of jiaozi’s second day, the north and the south are different, so they are all so particular.

As the saying goes, the first day of jiaozi is the second day.

The second day, pay attention to a lot, qualified noodles need to be made of jiaozi noodles in the first day, and this side must be supercooled soup, that is, the noodles are cooked and soaked in cold water. Nowadays, people make their own bowls of noodles according to local eating habits, but many places still insist on soaking them in cold water to keep the custom of "eating cold noodles on the second day of school".

Looking around, there are many kinds of noodles in all parts of China, so Taiwan will set a plate for everyone. What kind of noodles can we eat on the second day of the Lunar New Year?

01 | noodles with gravy in old Beijing

When it comes to brine, it refers to the thickening of the soup poured on the surface after it is made. Old Beijingers have made great efforts in this bowl of noodles. There are as many as a dozen kinds of ingredients in the authentic marinade, including fine pork belly, Tricholoma, pine mushrooms, dried mushrooms, fungus, daylily, magnolia slices, dried shrimps, scallops, antlers, eggs, wet starch, pepper, onion, ginger and garlic.

Noodles for noodles with gravy must be hand-pulled noodles or handmade noodles. Noodles cooked in a bowl should not be more than half a bowl, and only with gravy can a bowl be full. The standard way to eat is to clean the noodles with halogen, that is, the marinade and noodles are eaten together, and the noodles can’t go on, leaving a half bowl of halogen in the bowl.

02 | North noodles with minced meat

Similar to bittern, SAO Zi is diced meat, and it is also a characteristic pasta popular in the north. Shaanxi people pay attention to the color matching of noodles with minced meat. Yellow egg skin, black fungus, red carrot, green garlic sprout and white tofu are beautiful and delicious.

When I arrived in Gansu, I also paid attention to a small bowl of noodles and nearly ten kinds of ingredients: in addition to some essential ingredients, potatoes and old tofu were diced and fried. After the noodles are cooked, cold water can make the noodles stronger. Even the diced noodles are filled with soup, and a spoonful of soup with minced meat is poured on the noodles, which makes them particularly delicious!

Flag flower noodles, known as "raising a flag, putting it down is a flower", are quite distinctive regardless of the soup base or the scorpion. Among them, SAO Zi is fried with yellow flowers, auricularia auricula, shredded kelp, shredded chicken and big meat, which increases the appetite of meat and the taste of dishes in drift soup.

A bowl of qualified flag flower noodles can be completely summarized in seven words, that is, "Wang, Fried, Clear, Thin, Fine, Soft and Crafty". "Wang Wang" means that the soup should be fragrant and oily; "Fried" is a typical Shaanxi dialect, which means to be hot, not to be swallowed warmly; "Clear" means that the soup should be clear; "Thin", that is to say, the soup is multi-faceted and less; "Fine" means that the operation process is exquisite and meticulous; "Soft" means that the dough should be soft and not overcooked; "Work" is the last thing to present on the table.

04 | Youmian Wowo

In Shanxi, there is a lovely name "Km ℉ ol ℉ Olao" in Youmian Wowo, which is called "BaDou" by the people because of its shape. Its beautiful shape and strong taste are perfectly matched, and then a bowl of "mutton with minced meat and mushroom soup" is put on it.

Youmian is flour ground from naked oats, which has high nutritional value and is still hungry. It is tasteless.

The pasta in the north loves to break the routine, such as the sesame food in Guanzhong area of Shaanxi Province, which is shaped like a pimple the size of a thumb nail, slightly thinner in the middle and tilted at the edge, resembling a cat’s ear, so it is also called "cat’s ear".

The most classic cooking method of Shaanxi Mashi is stew, which is cooked slowly with tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, bean sprouts and other small fires. No meat dishes are needed, and the soup is rich, and then sprinkled with chili pepper and balsamic vinegar. This taste is delicious!

06 | Oil spill pulled noodles

Apart from ordinary stewing, pulled noodles have been spread for thousands of years, and the specific shape of pulled noodles is not uniform in different places. The ancients recorded that "its thinness is equal to leek, and its thinness is thinner than dried noodles, which can be triangular or hollow" and "the rest are like noodles and flags".

Nowadays, the shape of the pulled noodles is a wide and long noodles as wide as a belt, commonly known as "BiángBiáng noodles"; It has two broad surfaces as thin as leek leaves; Longxu Noodles as thin as a silver needle; Have a fat head as thick as chopsticks; There is a triangular blade surface shaped like a sword; There is a "hollow surface" that is pulled into short sections.

However, this bowl of oil-spilled noodles pays more attention to chili pepper’s hot oil, and the noodles are cooked and fished out. Add salt, vinegar, chopped garlic sprouts and Chili noodles to the bowl, pour the oil on the Chili noodles and garlic sprouts, and mix them. Talk about it!

Sweet water surface can be regarded as a "man" in Sichuan-style snacks. Its noodles are stout in shape and tough in taste, and you can feel its strength as soon as you put it on your mouth. Although the name is sweet, it tastes exciting, with red pepper, sesame sauce, compound soy sauce, and finally a spoonful of garlic and peanuts. The mouth is slightly sweet, then it is spicy and fragrant, and it is straight to the head after eating.

Guizhou, which is also spicy, also has a bowl of sausage noodles that are extremely colorful. The reason why it is unique is not only because it has a long taste of fat intestines and blood, but also because it has a solid crispy taste.

Fat sausage and blood curd were made into sausage sauce and flourishing sauce, then pork belly was made into crispy sauce, and then sausage oil, crispy sauce and Chili oil were made into red oil, thus forming the delicious top brand of "Three Sauces" with red oil.

The beauty of Satay Noodles lies in the soup head. The sand tea soup boiled with sand tea sauce is thick and fragrant, and the noodles are made of oil noodles from southern Fujian. The oil noodles and vegetables are boiled in boiling water, fished into a bowl, and poured into the sand tea soup while it is hot. Seasoning with bean products, large intestine, rice blood, kidney flower, etc., and then drenched with a small spoonful of spicy oil, tastes spicy and fragrant.

12 | Minnan Quanzhou Noodles

There is also a bowl of noodles in Fujian, which is also "halogen", but it is completely different from the north. Because Fujian is near the sea, the soup is mainly seafood, with mushrooms, shrimp, pork, squid, shredded bamboo shoots, day lily, flatfish, worms and coriander, leeks, bean sprouts, pepper, sand tea sauce, garlic, shredded eggs, scallops and so on.

The soup for mixing noodles with noodles is preferably bone soup or broth. In addition to cooking the ingredients thoroughly, sweet potato powder will be specially added to increase the viscosity of noodle soup, and some rock sugar, salt and monosodium glutamate will be added to increase the sweet and smooth taste.

When eating, usually put some leeks and bean sprouts at the bottom of the bowl, put noodles on it, and then mix with the marinated soup. Anyone likes to add coriander, shredded eggs, pepper or sand tea sauce, which makes it taste unique and fragrant.

13 | Zhejiang ginger soup noodles

Although winter is getting warmer, we can’t stop filling our stomachs in the New Year. People in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province are particularly good at making this bowl of ginger soup noodles with ginger as the main ingredient and special ingredients, which is comfortable from head to toe after drinking.

At the right moment, just take the noodles rolled out by hand and steam them in the pot. The noodles are tough, the beans are crisp and tender, and the salty flavor is strong. Every bowl of stewed noodles with beans is a unique taste of their own home!

A bowl of noodles shows the cultural background of China, which is strong or graceful, simple or exquisite. Eating noodles on the second day of the lunar new year means that everything goes smoothly, and this year is smooth.

The film market is in two worlds: the box office exploded to a record, and the investment broke down and fell to the bottom.

Summer movies in 2023 continue to bring surprises.

First, the suspense crime type movie "Disappeared She" led the box office all the way, exceeding 3.5 billion. Then, the word-of-mouth of "In the octagonal cage" and "Chang ‘an Three Wan Li" continued to ferment, ranking among the top three in the summer box office list. "Feng Shen" has been grinding a sword for ten years and has high hopes.

In August, at the end of the summer file, the market ushered in a dark horse movie. "Put all your eggs in one basket" was officially released for five days, and the box office reached 1.292 billion yuan. The box office forecast of Lighthouse Professional Edition shows that the final box office of "Put All Your Eggs" is expected to surpass "Disappeared She" to reach 4 billion yuan.

If "Put all your eggs in one basket" finally reaches 4 billion yuan, the summer box office in 2023 will break the box office record in 2019 before the epidemic. According to the data of Lighthouse Professional Edition, as of press time, the total domestic box office of summer file in 2023 exceeded 15.774 billion yuan. In the summer box office over the years, the summer box office in 2019 was the highest, reaching 17.778 billion yuan. The summer box office in 2018 was 17.377 billion yuan, and the summer box office in 2017 was 16.357 billion yuan.

Summer movie is one of the most important movie markets in the whole year. In 2022, the annual movie box office was 30.067 billion. If the summer movie box office can reach 18.5 billion this year, it means that it has contributed half of the annual box office. In the past, many explosive movies came from summer files, such as Wolf Warriors 2 in Ne Zha and Dying to Survive.

The explosive summer file has injected a shot in the arm into the whole movie market. A number of filmmakers told Tech Planet that the film market is gradually picking up and film investment is expected to bottom out next year.

Summer movies are a hit.

This year’s summer movie killing is extremely tragic.

Many high-quality movies compete for the summer box office champion. After the release of "Disappeared She" produced by Chen Sicheng, the box office went down many times, leading all the way, winning the summer box office champion temporarily with 3.5 billion box office, and "Put All Your Eggs" came from behind, breaking the box office record on the opening day of summer drama films in the past five years with a dark horse gesture, and threatening to hit the box office champion position.

With its epic blockbuster and sincere "giant system", "Feng Shen Part I" has been praised by many people in the industry as "the highest industrial benchmark of China films". With a high score of 8.3 douban and a box office of 1.693 billion yuan, "Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an" became the second place in the history of domestic animation box office, which not only set a new box office record for the company’s light-chasing animation behind the film, but also broadened a new boundary for China animation films.

This is a summer file with a higher discussion than the Spring Festival movie, and domestic movies firmly occupy the top three at the box office. In the past, overseas blockbusters were regarded as the guarantee of summer box office, and there were overseas blockbusters in the top three films. Spider-Man: Heroic Expedition and Transformers 5: The Last Knight all occupied a place in the top three box office before the epidemic.

This year, the top three summer movies are all made in China, namely, Disappeared She, In an Octagonal Cage, Feng Shen Part I.. The box office of overseas movies was slightly depressed. Mission Impossible 7 was released for 30 days, and the box office was only 343 million yuan. Transformers was released for 65 days, with a box office of 654 million yuan.

The popularity and popularity of movies attract many people to enter the cinema. Many viewers told Tech Planet that the first movie they went to the cinema this year was either "Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an", "Goddess of God Part I" or "Put all your eggs in one basket". Even if I didn’t go to the cinema to watch movies, most of them brushed the movie announcement clips on the video platform.

Market demand is picking up. According to the data of Cat’s Eye Professional Edition, the total number of people watching "She Disappeared" is as high as 84.692 million. During the two days from August 5th to August 6th, driven by films such as "Put All Your Eggs", "Feng Shen Part I" and "Megalodon 2: The Abyss", the box office was 503 million yuan and 516 million yuan respectively, and more than 12 million tickets were issued every day, setting a single-day record for the summer file since 2020.

The rising popularity of movies has doubled the confidence of many people in the industry. Film critic Jun Wei told Tech Planet that this year’s summer movies are really rare. Except for the comedy "The Super Family", all the other movies are excellent. "The Super Family" was once ranked first in the summer file to see the index.

In his view, the biggest surprise of this year’s summer movie is "The First Part of Gods", which has opened up the genre of China movies, the genre of local mythical blockbusters, and reached the highest industrial benchmark that China’s film industry can reach at present. "It has a great impact on the industrial value and future of China films, and this surprise may be even greater. We have to wait for time. When the latter two films are released, a whole trilogy of deities can take China films as far as possible."

Producer Xu Pengpeng told Tech Planet that this year’s summer movie Chang ‘an Three Wan Li made her feel very surprised. She believes that Chang ‘an Three Wan Li has achieved good results in both commercial and social benefits. There are many commercial elements in a movie, but the "positive energy" element is usually not defined as a kind of commercial element. However, Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an tells a touching story through the "positive energy" element, and has achieved super high commercial returns.

Some people are happy, others are sad.

The high demand for watching movies has made the producers and producers behind some movies earn a lot of money.

The biggest winner at the moment is naturally the current box office champion "Disappeared She". Although "Disappeared She" has a lot of market controversy, its box office success is also undeniable.

The producers or co-producers behind "Disappeared She", including 16 companies including Beijing Yitong Legend Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Taobao Film, will participate in the investment, and 16 companies will share the box office feast together. Among them, Yitong Legend is Chen Sicheng Company. According to the data of Cat’s Eye Professional Edition, the account of this piece was 41.28%, reaching 1.324 billion.

Producer Guo Chen revealed to Tech Planet that according to industry practice, the total cost of "She Disappeared" is about 300 million. Excluding the cost, the film earned at least 1 billion.

Wang Baoqiang directed and participated in "In the Octagonal Cage". At present, the film can be divided into 813 million yuan. According to the public information, there are four main producers of "octagonal cage", three of which are Wang Baoqiang’s own companies. There are almost no star actors in the film, so the cost should not be very high, or lower than "Disappeared She".

The animated film "Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an", according to the current cat’s eye data, the amount of the film’s account is 636 million. According to industry insiders, the production cost of the film is about 150 million yuan.

The same low-cost production but good box office results are also the dark horse "Put All Your Eggs". An industry insider told Tech Planet that the cost of the film is about 50 million. The film was not optimistic before it was released. However, after the release of "put all your eggs in one basket", it has made great strides, and it is even expected to break the record of 4 billion. If "put all your eggs in one basket" finally reaches 4 billion at the box office, the profit of the film may exceed 1.5 billion.

The cinema is also one of the sharers of the box office feast. The proportion of cinemas’ box office is 55.12%. If there are more than 18 billion summer movies this year, cinemas are expected to get nearly 10 billion.

However, some people are happy and others are sad. The box office or word-of-mouth of films such as Enthusiasm, The Super Family, and The Gods Part I did not meet expectations.

At present, the box office return rate is relatively low, but it is the movie giant "Feng Shen I" with a large investment. A film practitioner told Tech Planet that although "Feng Shen" was very popular in the market, its time period was long and the time cost paid by the team was relatively high. From the perspective of return on investment, it was not a particularly worthwhile commercial project. "Blindly pursuing feelings, cultural values and social values while ignoring commercial values is actually an escape from commercial returns."

It is rumored in the industry that the production cost of the trilogy "Feng Shen" is as high as 2.4 billion, with an average cost of 800 million and an announcement cost of 600 million. The cost of a single film is as high as 1 billion. Cat’s eye data shows that the current box office amount of the film is 719 million.

Of course, it is not objective to measure the value of a film with a single box office dimension. Guo Chen, the producer of the film Under the Yellow Wall, believes that from the perspective of value investment, Feng Shen is profitable. In his view, "Feng Shen" and The Wandering Earth have greatly improved the production technology of China film industry. From a commercial point of view, we should not only look at the box office of a film, but also look at the cultural tourism market derived from it. Shooting scenes, sales of cultural tourism derivatives, reuse value of scenes and special effects, similar to the export value of Marvel Universe or Disney culture. The superposition of implicit value and explicit value can reflect the commercial value of a film.

Film investment is broken, and it may bottom out in 2025.

During the summer vacation, the depressed movie market ushered in a rare dawn.

Different from the continuous release of movie viewing demand, this year’s film investment market is still in the cold winter. Guo Chen, the producer of the film Under the Yellow Wall, told Tech Planet that this year’s film investment market is even more difficult than during the epidemic, and it is almost at the bottom. It is more difficult for the project to find funds. In the past, it was 2-3 million yuan, and the difficulty coefficient was not great. Now, it is "just kneeling on the ground".

Film and television projects are a business that sells expected income. Guo Chen said that the expected income in the market is unstable, so it is naturally difficult to find money to invest in movies. In the past, it earned 1 billion box office, almost every month. Out of every 100 movies, about 20 movies can make money. This year, one or two movies may make money. As the probability becomes smaller, investors’ concerns will increase. There used to be 100-120 employers in 100 projects, but now there are only 10 employers in 100 projects.

The crisis has caused the film production to be halved this year. Guo Chen said that all those who dare to start this year are "warriors", and the projects that can start this year are almost at the top of the industry pyramid.

As a film producer, Xu Pengpeng also witnessed a passive reshuffle of the film market.

Xu Pengpeng told Tech Planet that the threshold of the film and television industry is relatively low. In the past few years, there was a lot of hot money in the market. No matter which industry, as long as there is money, everyone is willing to come out and vote for movies. Usually, many people will grab a movie share. With the influx of hot money, the denominator of the film industry has become larger and the number of films has increased. However, on the other side of the coin, the industry has become mixed and the quality is uneven.

The epidemic has accelerated the elimination of the industry. In the past, film investors, producers, production companies and producers who were not so professional began to leave actively or passively. Many employees who worked on a project in the past one or two years have now changed careers. Xu Pengpeng said that those who still stick to the film industry must be those who really love it.

The logic of film investment has completely changed. Xu Pengpeng said that compared with other industries, an explosive film in the past had a very high rate of return and a high chance of success. It was easy for the Mid-Autumn Festival or summer file to break through the box office of 2 billion and 3 billion.

But it’s not the same now. Investors become more calm, will analyze the success or failure factors of movies more professionally, consider the diversification of themes, and begin to pay attention to social values. I won’t invest in a film because of a star starring or a certain theme IP as before. At present, the investment decision is based on the control of the project cycle, project risk assessment, where to shoot, how to implement it, the expected schedule, the statistics of movies in the same period, the attendance rate of each city, the target audience, marketing positions, etc. The data needs to be analyzed particularly accurately before deciding whether to invest.

However, for the film industry, caution and wait-and-see are a filter for the healthy growth of the industry. Xu Pengpeng believes that the industry is ultimately regulated by the market, and it is normal for the market economy to fluctuate. The fact that the film industry is at a low point does not mean that it is killed by a stick. On the contrary, many bubble teams can be screened out and irrational denominator investments can be made during the low point.

It is expected to bottom out in 2025. Guo Chen said that this year’s film and television practitioners are very difficult, but they are in danger. The film projects that can be started and finished this year mean that the film quality is excellent, and the market competition in 2024 is relatively less fierce.

There is a synergy between the recovery of the film industry and the big economic situation, which may be slightly lagging behind. Xu Pengpeng said that although there are not many film investment projects at present, she is still very optimistic about the future. She predicted that 2024 will be an upward trend.

Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages use the national volume.

The "Regulations" clarify that the subjects of the national unified college entrance examination include three subjects: Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages. The national volume is used and the proposition is unified by the Education Examinations Institute of the Ministry of Education.

The language of foreign language examination is one of English, Russian, Japanese, French, German and Spanish. Candidates whose foreign language is English must take the English listening and speaking test, which is held independently by Guangdong.

Three optional examination subjects for the academic level of senior high schools in Guangdong Province are composed of two subjects: physics and history, and two subjects: ideological and political, geography, chemistry and biology. The subjects of the selective examination of the academic level of ordinary high schools in Guangdong Province are organized by the Provincial Education Examinations Institute. The specific examination schedule is as follows:

English listening and speaking, sports, music, art, calligraphy, dance, radio and television choreography, broadcasting and hosting are subject to unified examinations throughout the province. The test paper life system and scoring reference of unified examination subjects in the province are formulated by the Provincial Education Examinations Institute.

The enrollment majors in colleges and universities are divided into general (physics), general (history) and arts and sports (including sports, music, fine arts, calligraphy, dance, radio and television editing and directing, broadcasting and hosting, and art school examinations, the same below).

The examination subjects of general (physics) candidates are Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages, physics and "two out of four".

The subjects of general (history) candidates are Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages, history and "two out of four".

The examination subjects of arts and sports candidates are professional technical subjects on the basis of general (physics) or general (history) examination subjects.

The total score of college entrance examination culture is 750 points, which is determined by the scores of candidates’ related examination subjects.

Voluntary reporting implements the mode of professional group in colleges and universities

The "Regulations" make it clear that Guangdong college entrance examination volunteers should fill in the professional group mode of colleges and take the way of online filling. Candidates must carefully read the college enrollment regulations and Guangdong enrollment regulations, and choose to apply for colleges and universities, college professional groups and professional volunteers within the group. The subjects and characteristics of candidates must be consistent with the volunteer requirements of the selected college professional groups (majors).

There is a parallel volunteer group for the general classes (physics and history) of undergraduate and junior college admission batches, and there are 45 colleges and universities’ professional group volunteers respectively. Each college and university professional group has 6 professional volunteers and one is subject to the professional adjustment option. The unified examination of arts and sports has one parallel volunteer group and 20 colleges and universities’ professional groups. Each college and university’s professional group has six professional volunteers and one is subject to the professional adjustment option.

Parallel volunteer, a professional group of colleges and universities, takes the professional group of colleges and universities as the investment unit, and implements one-time investment according to the principle of "giving priority to scores and following volunteers".

When parallel volunteer files, the candidates are sorted from high score to low score, and the college professional group volunteers filled in by the candidates are retrieved in turn. As long as the college professional group volunteers reported by the candidates are found to meet the requirements for filing, they will file with the college professional group.

After the filing, the professional groups of other colleges and universities will be invalid. If there is no college professional group that meets the requirements for filing, it cannot be filed.

After the above process is completed, regardless of whether the file is submitted or not, it is deemed that the candidate has enjoyed the opportunity to file in this batch of parallel volunteer. If the candidates’ files are filed in a professional group of an institution and are withdrawn for some reason, they will not be re-submitted to the professional groups of other institutions in parallel volunteer.

Candidates must fill in and confirm the volunteer information in the online volunteer reporting system of Guangdong Admissions Office. Once the volunteer information is confirmed online, no one can change it. Candidates must log on to the "Sunshine College Entrance Examination Information Open Platform" of the Ministry of Education or the designated website of colleges and universities to inquire about the detailed contents of the enrollment regulations of colleges and universities, and pay attention to the conditions for limiting the enrollment of colleges and universities, professional groups of colleges and universities and majors within the group. Candidates are responsible for the consequences caused by failing to check the enrollment regulations of colleges and universities.

When ordinary high school fresh-year candidates fill in their volunteers, the scores of the qualified test subjects corresponding to the three optional test subjects included in the total score of the college entrance examination must be qualified before they can file. Otherwise, it is invalid to fill in college volunteers.

In the determination of admission scores, the general categories are divided into physical and historical categories; Art and sports categories, regardless of physics and history, are uniformly underlined according to the planned categories.

Strengthen the governance of examination-related training consulting institutions

Guangdong Education Examinations Institute proposed that the reform of college entrance examination enrollment should be steadily promoted, and all local schools should implement teaching in strict accordance with the curriculum standards. From the second year of high school, courses should be selected according to the subjects selected by students, and it is strictly forbidden to organize students to choose subjects in advance to prepare for the exam. It is necessary to strengthen students’ career planning education and subject selection guidance, and guide students to choose subjects according to the needs of national development and their own interests.

At the same time, we should vigorously promote the fairness of admission opportunities. We should continue to implement the special plan of key universities for rural areas and poverty-stricken areas. Strict application conditions, strengthen qualification examination, and promote the implementation of preferential policies for special plans. From 2023 onwards, candidates who gave up their admission qualifications or dropped out of school after being admitted to the special program in previous years will no longer be eligible for the special program.

Guangdong Education Examinations Institute proposed that we should conscientiously implement the policy of taking the college entrance examination for the children who move with them in Guangdong. It is necessary to compact the responsibility of high school, strictly regulate the management of student status, and strictly investigate violations such as empty student status, separation of nationality, and false student status. We must severely crack down on "college entrance examination immigrants."

Strictly regulate the examination enrollment management, and standardize the release of college entrance examination results. It is strictly forbidden to publish, publicize, speculate or speculate in disguised form in any way, such as "No.1 in the College Entrance Examination", "Good News in the College Entrance Examination", "High Score Candidates" and "Online Rate".

At the same time, strengthen the governance of training and consulting institutions involved in the examination. Schools shall not allow educational consulting institutions, off-campus training institutions or individuals to enter the school to carry out training and consulting activities related to the examination, or provide venues for relevant institutions or individuals to carry out related activities; Strengthen the standardized governance of social training institutions or individuals to carry out training and consultation related to exams, and severely crack down on illegal activities involving false propaganda, price fraud, cheating in organizing or participating in exams, and interfering with the order of enrollment in exams.
