Hire temporary workers and college students to make accounts, mobilize the masses to "help the platform" and ask advertising companies to concoct a glamorous year-end summary … … At the end of each year, we can always see many chaos in the inspection. Half a month’s investigation by reporters found that some of the chaos in the inspection were indeed fraudulent at the grassroots level, but some were forced out by "wonderful assessments" that were too excessive, unrealistic, ungrounded, standard-willful, and improper indicators.

　　"Make it up, just like writing a novel."

　　The staff of the labor dispute mediation Committee under the judicial system in a certain place spoke out, and basically every line had to be inspected at the end of the year. "Let’s talk about a ledger. There are only two people in the commission every day, covering hundreds of thousands of people in the business circle. Just doing mediation is already thirsty. How can there be time to record them in detail?" The staff member said frankly that we simply temporarily hired a college student from the Chinese Department to help. "But how does he know what mediation you have done in a year?" "Making it up is like writing a novel."

　　Following the guidance of this staff member, the reporter pushed open the door of a small room for half a month. Under the dim light, a busy figure and mountains of materials on the table, corner and ground are particularly dazzling.

　　At 6: 30 in the winter evening, it was already dark, and the lights in a community health service center in Jiangsu were brightly lit. In the general clinic, the doctor stared at the electronic medical record; In the rehabilitation department of traditional Chinese medicine, patients in 7788 are gossiping.

　　"It’s so late, don’t go home for dinner?" The reporter talked with several middle-aged and elderly patients for half a month. "Don’t let go. The inspection team hasn’t arrived yet, and told us to stay where we are. " Someone replied.

　　While speaking, a young doctor in his thirties came out of the consulting room. "At the end of the year, the inspection team arrived at the previous point. It is true that after work hours, you can’t let the top see that the hospital is cold and clear. "

　　"Don’t really prescribe medicine, just playacting. When the comrades of the inspection team ask, say a few good words. " Aunt Chen, a retired teacher, said that since the end of the year, more and more departments have come down to inspect the work. Not only health service centers, but also community reading rooms, party member activity rooms, democratic parliamentary halls, etc. should mobilize the masses to "help the platform".

　　In interviews, I often listen to grassroots comrades complaining that many assessments are unscientific and can’t be completed without fraud. "Some places assess the working hours of grassroots volunteers and require volunteers to stand on the road, enter the park and enter the community during working hours … … Isn’t this ridiculous? "

　　A police station coordinator told a reporter who talked for half a month that at present, many police departments have launched WeChat to facilitate WeChat official account from the public security bureau down to the police station, and their attention to WeChat official account has been assessed and ranked. "Sprint at the end of the year, let’s push everyone on the street. Some people never look at it even if they pay attention. zombie fans is everywhere, and the form is greater than the content."

　　"People with a will" resort to deceit, and those who do it are tired of coping.

　　According to local party and government cadres, there are many kinds of year-end inspection and assessment indicators in various localities and departments, including practical projects for the people, party building, building a clean and honest party style, comprehensive social management, poverty alleviation, letters and visits, population and family planning, urban management, administrative examination and approval, administration according to law, and civilization index evaluation & HELIP; … There are nearly a hundred items in rough statistics.

　　These numerous acceptance tests, whether reasonable or unreasonable, have to be completed by the grass-roots departments, but they have different attitudes.

　　First, the cadres and the masses work together to change "face" into "ticket" type. The year-end appraisal, in short, is to judge "three-six-nine" according to the performance score. The assessment results often not only affect the image of the unit, but also are closely related to the support, subsidies and welfare in the coming year. Therefore, many grass-roots departments do their best to mobilize various resources, create a warm facade, and attract policy inclinations.

　　A doctor in a community health center said: "It’s really annoying to cope with the acceptance at the end of the year, but through several months’ efforts, in exchange for several million yuan of financial support next year, the people have improved their medical conditions and the medical staff have increased their income. Why not?"

　　Second, individuals take the initiative to attack, boost performance and take the shortcut of career. A civil servant in the Yangtze River Delta said frankly that leaders can’t see all the trivial and complicated work at ordinary times, and the year-end summary is a rare opportunity. Well done, soaring; If you can’t do it well, it’s useless.

　　"There must be photos of the work of going deep into the masses. If you don’t, you will pull a few people and make up a few photos; It is best to let the following people say a few words of thanks through WeChat voice. Now it is PPT. It is easy to impress the leaders by playing the local dialect on the spot. " A grass-roots civil servant told a reporter who talked for half a month, "Our leader’s year-end summary even paid an advertising company to make it and report it as a feature film. Anyway, it is public money."

　　The third is passive cooperation, not seeking merit but seeking no type. Many grassroots cadres are deeply tired of the messy year-end inspection and assessment, but because of their feelings, they can only do some packaging with a mixed mind and meet the inspection step by step. Although this "passive" unit or cadre is not active, it often takes some effort to maintain the middle level in the year-end assessment.

　　A grass-roots civil servant reported that the assessment required them to post articles on the WeChat WeChat official account of the higher authorities, and they must read a certain amount after publishing. "Don’t ask for the first place in the assessment, but you can’t let the leaders lose face, you can only ‘ Out of pocket ’ Find a ticketing company to get it. "

　　"Wonderful Examination" can’t be cured, and formalism is hard to get rid of.

　　After one year, it is very necessary for the superior to conduct a comprehensive and meticulous examination and acceptance of the subordinate units, which can not only timely understand and master the work situation in the past year, but also commend the advanced and encourage the backward, and guide the next step of sustainable development. The problem is that many assessment indicators are fixed as soon as they are patted on the head, without reasonable argumentation, and they are too much and excessive.

　　For example, all levels and departments generally have the assessment of the quantity of information instructed by leaders. "Under heavy pressure, it is often not who does a better job at the grassroots level, but who knows more leaders and who has a harder relationship." A grass-roots staff member said that in order to be "glamorous" at the end of the year, he engaged in public relations and replenishment for individual leading secretaries. "When he was high, he published three articles a week and approved three articles."

　　Some grassroots cadres bluntly said: "Many assessments are actually not to promote work, but to brush the sense of existence of higher authorities. With the gun of year-end assessment, the superior has the right to speak and there is room for rent-seeking. "

　　There are also some assessments that are arbitrary. Grassroots cadres in many places complained to reporters who talked for half a month. Some of the creation work was often put forward at the beginning of the year, and the acceptance criteria were not issued until the end of the year, which made grassroots staff have to work overtime to deal with it.

　　Taking a key project as an example, the person in charge of the propaganda department in a certain place spoke out: "It was almost November last year, and I was informed that the assessment was to be published in the central-level media. The time was too late, so I could only make friends, ask acquaintances, and groan without illness." A county-level leading cadre in Jiangsu, who did not want to be named, said that a lot of work can be done in daily life or in the middle of the month, and it is not necessary to put it off until the end of the year.

　　Party member’s attendance rate should be assessed for some meeting activities. "The attendance rate in party member must be above 80%, but the actual attendance rate in the village is generally between 60% and 70%." Some village cadres said that it was difficult for party member, who went out to do business and work in rural areas, to come back every month. In order to cope with the assessment, he had to "process" the data.

　　Many cadres and experts believe that excessive assessment is a major source of formalism at the grassroots level. To solve this problem, the key is to make a fuss about transforming government functions and deepening administrative reform, to ask more questions from the people, and to take the satisfaction of the masses as the fundamental test standard. Only in this way can we build a service-oriented government, make grassroots cadres devote themselves to serving the masses, and eradicate the formalism that is only responsible for the upper level and not the lower level.

　　In recent years, domestic motorcycle groups and industries have developed rapidly, and many peripheral products are aimed at our domestic market, such as Michelin today. On April 10th, Michelin’s high-end motorcycle tire products officially entered the China market, and its lineup covers sports, leisure sports, cruising and other types.

　　The tires released this time are divided into four series. Let’s learn more about the functions of these four tires and the suitable vehicle types.

　　This tire is a tire that focuses on sports performance, and it provides excellent grip. Let’s take a look at the following technical highlights.

　　1. Michelin adaptive carcass technology +(ACT+ technology)

　　This technology adopts a carcass layer with a weaving angle of 90 degrees at the crown, which not only ensures elasticity, but also ensures the stability of linear acceleration. On the sidewall and shoulder, the carcass layer is woven at a large angle to ensure the supporting force and good corner stability.

　　2. Variable groove ratio

　　When the vehicle bends or turns 45 degrees, the groove ratio of 3.5% provides reassuring cornering grip.

　　3. Michelin double formula technology (2CT technology)

　　The front and rear wheels are equipped with different proportions of rubber formula, thus providing excellent wet and dry road grip for sports vehicles.

　　This tire is mainly used for long-distance motorcycles. It is suitable for various environments, whether it is cold, wet or other harsh road conditions, or on paved or low-friction roads, Michelin Pilot Road 4 can adapt.

　　1. Michelin X- groove technology +(XST+ technology)

　　The transverse groove design ensures excellent wetland grip; At the same time, it helps the front tire to cut the water film on the road surface during driving, and provides excellent braking force in wet weather.

　　2, chamfer groove design

　　Relieves abnormal tire wear caused by extreme conditions or sudden braking.

　　3. Variable groove ratio

　　Regardless of the inclination angle, the variable groove ratio provides a reliable guarantee for grip and drainage.

　　In fact, many riders are familiar with this tire. It is the original tire of various BMW models. This tire is mainly suitable for pulling models, and its tire life and pattern can make it have good performance on paved and unpaved roads.

　　1, chamfer groove design

　　A certain proportion of grooves are chamfered to form a "shovel" shape, which helps tires to quickly discharge mud when driving on unclosed roads. When the depth of tire tread becomes shallow, the ground contact area increases, providing stronger grip.

　　2, serrated groove design

　　The serrated groove with 3D design can help the tire improve the wet grip.

　　The Michelin Scorcher series developed and produced jointly with Harley, as the original tires of Harley’s various models, is printed with Michelin and Harley-Davidson logos.

　　1. Michelin Scorcher 11 (original tire of Harley Street, Sportster, Softail and V-Rod)

　　Excellent grip: the semi-bald tire design ensures the grounding area of the trunk road, and the optimized groove design can help effectively drain water, both of which are solid foundations for excellent grip.

　　Precise control: Michelin meridian technology ensures the accuracy and flexibility of control.

　　Excellent tire service life: Michelin racing technology and brand-new rubber formula guarantee durability and high performance.

　　2. Michelin Scorcher 31 (original tires of Harley Dyna, Sportster and cruise models)

　　Excellent comfort and handling: the flexible carcass and tire characteristics help the car to move flexibly on winding roads.

　　Long mileage: The application of carbon black reinforced formula technology helps tires to run a satisfactory mileage on the basis of giving consideration to performance.

　　3. Michelin Scorcher 32 (original tire of Harley Fat Bob model)

　　Innovative "reverse" pattern design: ensure uniform tire pattern wear.

　　Reliable grip: the design of large flower pattern has achieved excellent grip on dry and wet ground, allowing riders to enjoy flexible control and smooth riding experience.

　　Finally, after the press conference, we interviewed Mr. Liu Peng, vice president and commercial director of Michelin (China) Investment Co., Ltd., and the plans and strategies of Michelin motorcycle tires were all involved. The following is the interview record.

　　2018 Michelin motorcycle tires stationed in China product launch conference

　　Group interview shorthand

　　Interviewee: Mr. Liu Peng, Vice President and Commercial Director of Michelin (China) Investment Co., Ltd.

　　Time: April 10, 2018

　　Venue: Beijing Jingang Automobile Park International Circuit

　　Reporter: As a high-end brand of tires, Michelin has been participating in the sport of motorcycle GT. What will be the future of motorcycle tires from your point of view? Or there will be black technology that we don’t know about?

　　Liu Peng: Actually, the most typical black technology of motorcycles is dual formula, and different tire formulas are used to achieve different performances. For example, the tread is harder and the sidewall is slightly softer to provide (better) grip. This is the most important embodiment of bringing motorcycle racing formula into civilian tires. For example, some chips will be used for civilian purposes, such as tire tracking. Michelin’s investment in motorcycle racing is not only to win several championships, but also to turn the track into a testing ground and put the accumulated experience into civilian production. Therefore, Michelin’s future "black technology" will definitely be more and more, so stay tuned. Thank you.

　　Reporter: We see that manufacturers like BMW and Harley all have vehicle cooperation. After Michelin enters the China market, will it consider cooperating with domestic vehicles on motorcycles? Now that new retail is particularly hot, will our marketing channel consider the network in the future, and is there any possibility of such development?

　　Liu Peng: That’s a good question. First of all, Michelin’s original motorcycles, such as Harley and BMW, are actually cooperated all over the world. Because the whole motorcycle circle is not so big compared with cars, we will bring this car to the China market once we have made the original match in other parts of the world. Will there be opportunities for cooperation with domestic motorcycle manufacturers? I’m sure there will be. In the past few years, the domestic motorcycle and travel culture are booming. We have seen many people like motorcycles gradually, including young people, and even people my age who used to be jokingly called "uncle greasy" have begun to like motorcycles. So we think there are many opportunities.

　　Regarding the purchase method, 80% of consumers will search online when buying products like motorcycles, and then buy them online or offline. We are constantly exploring which way is the most economical and effective for consumers and can provide accurate choices. You may see that for many products today, if consumers are not clear about their car conditions and routes, they need detailed professional consultation. The purchase behavior is only the final result, and the previous decision-making consultation process is also very important for us. Therefore, we first put motorcycle tires into the China market, and now we are also studying the future online sales to make some channel preparations for the future.

　　Reporter: At the press conference, Michelin always emphasized the word "responsibility", and we saw a big company’s concern about riding safety. We know that there are still many shortcomings in motorcycle riding safety in China. So after Michelin entered China, did it take any measures related to driving safety?

　　Liu Peng: Sure. For motorcycles, we advocate freedom, but it doesn’t mean freedom to do whatever we want. We must be related to safety. Including Michelin’s partners, they are not just doing business. In fact, many of them have their own driving experience and training arrangements. Michelin works with them to bring safe driving-to their own safety, to the safety of pedestrians or other vehicles, and to the safety of society. We also talk about "chivalry". In fact, this group of China Motorsports has made great contributions to the sense of social responsibility. We hope to continue to carry it forward, and work with these consumers and partners to promote the progress of social responsibility and safety responsibility.

　　Reporter: In China, does Michelin have a development plan for the event sponsors?

　　Liu Peng: You have seen a lot of pictures of Michelin on the track. In the past weekend, Michelin sponsored the grassroots motorcycle race in the GPGP Golden Harbor Grand Prix. We hope that more people will join in motorcycle sports to promote the culture of motorcycle travel. We have been paying attention to the future motorcycle racing activities in China. Because motorcycle is a passionate sport, we hope to bring passion into the market. Of course, motorcycle sport is the best means.

　　Reporter: The image of Mr. Michelin Tire is very famous, and many people around us also know this brand. But at present, we rarely see Michelin-authorized motorcycle shops providing us with tire or tire changing services. Many of our members buy tires from WeChat, third parties and even foreign channels. What kind of measures or development plans are there in the channel in the future?

　　Liu Peng: Michelin has been in China for 29 years, and I am an early employee. At that time, we promoted Michelin, and many stores didn’t know the image and brand. Today, as a brand known to drivers and motorcycle enthusiasts, we have spent a lot of energy. Brand promotion is on the one hand, and landing channels are on the other. Today, we just started to bring the motorcycle brand into the China market, and we also started to have partners in China. The next step is to choose stores and retailers in China, and then build the retailers around riders. Because buying online or abroad can’t guarantee the source, we hope consumers can buy regular products. In addition to products, there are more technical contents in the whole installation and balance. We hope that riders can not only buy genuine tires, but also get regular maintenance services, which can make riding safer.

　　Reporter: Tires can last for several years from production, and it is not recommended to use them after several years.

　　Liu Peng: Tires are not fruits and vegetables. They are not steamed today. They must be eaten in the afternoon and will be broken tomorrow. Rubber has a long shelf life. Under normal circumstances, tires that are about five years old can actually be used. But there may be some misunderstanding now. If you buy the tires produced this week, you will feel a lot of losses. But in fact, it is the same as shoes. No one has ever asked which year the shoes were produced and before which they were worn.

　　Reporter: Hello, why did Michelin choose this time to enter the China market for motorcycle tires?

　　Liu Peng: Actually, we have been studying the motorcycle market for many years. Every year, we study the market capacity, the classification of the whole market and the classification of riders. After 2013, we saw that the motorcycle industry has changed very quickly, especially with more and more heavy locomotives, and our target group has gradually increased. We feel that the main purpose of putting it on the market at this time point is to meet the demand of fast-growing heavy-duty locomotives and high-displacement locomotives. In the past few years, we have been doing internal research, because as an international enterprise, motorcycle tires are not only a business, but also a sense of social responsibility. If you want to bring the products to the China market, you must have sufficient technical certification, after-sales service system construction and brand promotion, not simply bringing the tires in, so the preparation time for our premise is very long. In fact, including team building, import process and certification process, we have made full preparations for a long time. Now, we think it is time to enter this market.

　　Reporter: You just talked about the motorcycle culture and the motorcycle market in China. I would like to ask if this conference means that high-end brands have officially entered China. Will there be any market behavior to promote China motorcycle culture in the next two or three years or longer?

　　Liu Peng: There must be, including yesterday, discussing what kind of promotion activities we can participate in. Many of our activities are under planning, and I hope you can participate in them in the future. Thank you.

　　Reporter: Hello, because our country has many policies against motorcycles, how much impact does this have on Michelin’s market in China? If there is no such policy, what will happen?

　　Liu Peng: The most basic thing for an enterprise to do a business is to abide by the laws and regulations of the local country. Some areas are called limited motorcycles, some areas are called no motorcycles, and some areas have no such regulations. We fully respect national laws and regulations, not only for restrictions, but also for example, drivers themselves must have normal licenses, and the requirements of retail stores, including environmental protection requirements.

　　We believe that with the development of the tourism culture, it will also help the construction of national laws and regulations. As a manufacturer, we need to do our job well, meet more opportunities in the future, and promote good motorcycle culture to more enthusiasts.

　　Reporter: After Michelin motorcycle tires enter China this time, what are the expectations for the market in the future?

　　Expectations for the market are better than we thought. In the next three years’ development plan, we hope to occupy more sales share in China market. We didn’t come up with this by patting our heads, but when we visited the retail store, they told me that you had finally arrived and waited for you for a long time. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the future sales situation will get better and better.

　　Liu Peng: Motorcycle products are not a particularly large number of products for us. As we said just now, it is a passionate product that brings brand value. Therefore, we don’t have particularly high requirements for the sales in the early stage. We hope that our partners will lay a good foundation and establish a good retail network and service network in the first two or three years, just like planting-there is good soil, and a seed will be put in, and a result will come out slowly. We don’t want to ask for a quick result in a short time. The market needs to be cultivated and maintained slowly. Michelin has the confidence and strength.

　　Gaoyou, a county-level city belonging to Yangzhou, has been called Shennong County, Yucheng, Ping ‘a, Sana ‘a and Gaosha for thousands of years. The organizational system in past dynasties was different from county, county, army, state, road and government, but the name "Gaoyou" has been inherited to this day.

　　Prehistory: the fragrance of rice flowers 7,000 years ago

　　Between 7000 and 5000 years ago, there was a primitive culture with unique cultural features and complete cultural series in the Jianghuai basin, which was confirmed by experts at the 1997 Long Qiuzhuang Site and the Symposium on Ancient Culture in Jianghuai Area. The most precious thing is that carbonized rice was unearthed in all cultural layers of the site, which was identified as artificially cultivated japonica rice. Its discovery advanced the history of artificially cultivated rice in China to 5,500 years ago, and the cultivation area was divided from the south of the Yangtze River to the south of the Huaihe River.

　　Qin: Build a high platform and a postal kiosk.

　　In the late Spring and Autumn Period, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, dug a ditch, and after the unification of Qin, he built a gallop, which made Gaoyou at the crossroads of land and water transportation between Jianghuai and Jiangsu. In 223 BC, Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, built a high platform and a postal kiosk here, so it was called Gaoyou, which is the only city named after "postal" among more than 2,000 counties and cities in China.

　　Han Dynasty: Jia Hesheng, Shennong County

　　In the fifth year of the inaugural ceremony of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty (the first 118 years), gaoyou county was located in Guangling, where Gaoyou City is located. Gaoyou has become an important political, economic and cultural city between the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the war lasted for years, and the Jianghuai area was a place of war, and Gaoyou was deserted. In the 18th year of Xian Di Jian ‘an (213), gaoyou county was abolished. After a lapse of 67 years, the first year of Emperor Taikang of the Western Jin Dynasty (280) relocated the county, belonging to Guangling County. In August (441), in the 18th year of Yuanjia of Liu Song Wendi in the Southern Dynasties, "gaoyou county Jiahe was born, and the emperor ordered it to be changed to Shennong County."

　　Sui Dynasty: Dredging Gully and Building Imperial Road

　　In the first year of Emperor Yangdi’s great cause (605), more than 100,000 people in Huainan, including Gaoyou, were collected to dredge the gully, and "imperial roads were built along the river, and trees were planted with willows". Gaoyou section of Hangou became the main channel of Hangou, and gradually formed a distinctive landscape of "Yanliu", one of the eight ancient "Qin postal sights".

　　Tang Dynasty: Pingjin weir was waterproof.

　　The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of feudal society. There were 60,000 residents in Gaoyou county, and the scale of Gaoyou city was further expanded. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong (874-888), Emperor Xuanzong raised Zen Master Zhi to build Zhenguo Temple on the foundation of Taipingfang in the southwest of Gaoyou Institute, where he practiced. In the third year of Xian Zongyuan’s reign (808), Huainan made Li Jifu build a Pingjin weir in Gaoyou to regulate the water level and prevent water from being invaded.

　　Song Dynasty: Dayi where boats and cars meet.

　　Song Dynasty is a heyday of Gaoyou city construction, trade and cultural development. In the fourth year of Kaibao (971), Gaoyou Army was set up, and the imperial edict said: "Only he Gaoyou was called Dayi in ancient times. When boats and cars meet, land and water will rush. It is advisable to build a name for the army and look at it with pride. " Knowing that the army is high, it is necessary to build Gaoyou city. The city wall is slightly square, with a circumference of 10 miles and 316 steps, a height of 2.5 feet and a width of 1.5 feet. There are trenches all around. The street in front of the military headquarters was initially formed, with Minglun Hall and other related buildings, which became the political and cultural center at that time.

　　Yuan Dynasty: Kyle Polo once walked.

　　In 1283, Yuan Shizu changed Gaoyou Road to Gaoyou House, which governed Gaoyou, Xinghua and Baoying counties. In the 26th year of Yuan Dynasty (1289), Kyle Polo, an Italian traveler, visited Gaoyou along the canal and described it as "… … Gaoyou &hellip, which is well-built, extensive and prosperous; … To make a living by doing business and crafts, life must be extremely rich, rich in fish, animals and birds, and a lot of game. "

　　Ming dynasty: "a street in front of the house" became a grand view.

　　In the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1368), Huang Keming of Zhizhou built the government office on the foundation of the former military office, and successively rebuilt the Xuegong, expanded the Xingtan and built the Yinyun Building. The "street in front of the house" has become a grand sight. Because of the change from sea transportation to water transportation in Ming and Qing Dynasties, Gaoyou was at an important node of water transportation and salt transportation, and its strategic position as a transit station and distribution center for grain and salt became increasingly prominent. In addition, Yucheng Post itself undertook the heavy responsibility of providing materials for the imperial court and troop transportation, which greatly promoted the urban construction of Gaoyou and the prosperity of business and service industries.

　　The area in the original city can no longer adapt to its development, so outside the south gate and the north gate, it gradually develops to the north and south ends by the canal, forming the south gate street and the north gate street, and gradually develops into the south gate block and the north gate block with clear texture and supporting functions.

　　Qing dynasty: a "small bridge with flowing water" in Jiangbei

　　In Gaoyou in Qing Dynasty, the relationship between urban construction and water became closer and closer. Many ferries, rivers and bridges are important features of Gaoyou city. According to historical records, there were 26 bridges in Gaoyou City in the Ming Dynasty, which grew to 46 in the Qing Dynasty, forming a unique charm of "small bridges flowing with water". Gaoyou still retains the names of many ancient rivers and bridges, such as Beichengzi River, Yunyan River, Yudai River, Gaogong Bridge, Fuguong Bridge, Fenghuang Bridge and Taishan Bridge.

　　After the mid-Qing Dynasty, the functions of the post station were gradually exercised by the state department, and Yucheng post station was resold to the landlord named Zhao. Due to the development of modern postal services, the traditional functions of the post station gradually lost, and in 1912, the post station was returned to postal services. After nearly 600 years of operation, Yucheng Post has been preserved as a rare legacy of post culture.

　　In the Qing Dynasty, Gaoyou’s commercial trade was more prosperous. According to the Third Continuation of Gaoyou Prefecture Records, there were 6 pawn shops in Gaoyou during the Qianlong period, and the number increased to 11 during the Tongzhi period. The largest and longest-running one is the North Pawnshop, which is now a state-level cultural relics protection unit.

　　In Gaoyou in the Qing Dynasty, education was generally valued, and 10 places including Zhuhu Academy, Pragmatic Academy, Huaihai School and Yixue were successively restored and founded. According to the Records of Gaoyou Prefecture, 343 authors left 707 works. The method of "seeking righteousness by sound" advocated and practiced by Wang Niansun and Wang Yinzhi is of epoch-making significance in the history of exegetics, which is called "Gaoyou Wangshi" in academic circles.

　　Republic of China: Gaoyou on Panama Exhibition

　　In the early years of the Republic of China, modern transportation industries such as automobiles and ships, modern communication industries such as postal services and telephones, and modern financial industries such as banks rose one after another, county junior middle schools and county junior normal schools were established one after another, and national industry and commerce also developed by leaps and bounds. In 1914, at the Panama Games, Gaoyou produced wicker plaid, Wang Wanfeng wine and balsamic vinegar, various beans, wheat, rice and handmade products, which were classified as second-class, third-class or fourth-class products respectively.

　　New China: a place where people live happily.

　　After the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, the pace of urban construction has been accelerated. In 1991, Gaoyou withdrew from the county to build a city. There are 1 World Heritage Site, 2 4A-level scenic spots, 5 3A-level scenic spots, and 6 national key cultural relics protection units: Yucheng Post, Longqiuzhuang Site, Gaoyou Pawnshop, Gaoyou Ancient Canal in Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhenguo Temple Tower and Pingjin Weir. Gaoyou folk songs have been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list, and Gaoyou section of the Canal has been included in the World Heritage list.

　　In 2018, it was ranked 21st in the list of China’s top 100 happy cities and "Top 100 Gourmet" in China.
