  Traditional folk customs make the Spring Festival.

  Sometimes I blink a few times, lie prone and pretend to be clever, sometimes I leap in the air, and a few somersaults are rapid and violent … … "good!" Accompanied by dragon and lion dances, gongs and drums rang, and the cheers of the masses rose higher and higher.

  Near the New Year’s Eve, a large-scale folk street-stepping activity exploded once again on the street in Tunxi Old Street, Tunxi District, Huangshan City, Anhui Province. The teams of several towns and district sports bureaus showed their elegance, and Liyang drum-beating, Nanxi South lion dance and Yanghu dry boat clam shell dance came to the fore.

  Wang Ming’s family from Suzhou traveled to Huangshan for the New Year, catching up with folk customs and stepping on the street. They liked it very much. "Traditional art is noisy and has a good day!"

  "This is a provincial and municipal legacy!" Wu Zhe, deputy director of Wenguang New Bureau in Tunxi District, Huangshan City, said that Tunxi was an important commercial town in ancient Huizhou, and every major festival, folk activities were held, and this practice was preserved. "The government set up a stage to organize activities, townships and district units took the lead in rehearsals, and community people signed up to participate. A large number of traditional folk customs are being vividly interpreted by modern girls and boys." Wu Zhe said.

  On the morning of February 9, Huizhou Temple Festival was held in Yongxitang, Wentang Village, Shanli Town, Qimen County, Huangshan City. Chen Xiaomin, the inheritor of the Temple Festival, took more than 10 ritual students dressed in ancient costumes to worship heaven and earth and ancestors in strict accordance with ancient laws. After the ceremony, the sound of books came from the ancestral hall, and the children in the village gathered together and read the village convention: honor your parents, respect your elders, live in harmony with your hometown, teach your descendants a lesson, and be safe, and do nothing wrong … …

  "Before, I just saw the process of offering sacrifices in the text. Now I watch it on the spot and really feel the richness of Huizhou culture." Kang Jian, an associate researcher in history and sociology at Anhui Normal University, who came to watch the ceremony, was most impressed by the local customs and conventions here. "Little by little, what flows is the power of upward goodness." "The village has had zero petition rate and zero crime rate for many years!" Zhu Peijian, director of the Shanli Town Judicial Office, believes that the rural customs and people’s agreements have contributed.

  Anqing is also full of flavor, from the city to the countryside, all kinds of "New Year — The Huimin performance of singing drama is overwhelming. "This is a promising city!" Gan Zhen, a staff member of Anqing Municipal Government, said that during the Spring Festival, the city small theater has daily performances every night; There are various plays and opera performances in communities and squares on a regular basis; In the countryside, a group of art troupes sent operas to the countryside, "Huangmei Opera, Buried Hill Ballroom, Yuexi Gaoqiang, all kinds of operas and tracks are available!"

  Guangdong and Inner Mongolia — —

  Knife dance, paper rhyme, strong annual flavor

  During the Spring Festival, from the snowy Inner Mongolia to the warm Guangdong, the traditional paper-cutting art with different forms and unique features is deeply permeated with the flavor of the New Year, decorating a better life and being loved by people.

  Guangdong paper-cut is unique in paper-cut art because of its unique Lingnan charm and distinctive regional cultural characteristics. In houpu village, Xilu Town, Chaoyang District, Shantou City, Chen Yanshu, the inheritor of Chaoyang paper-cut, taught students to cut paper, and the red paper-cut changed into various patterns in the hands of children.

  In Guangzhou, traditional paper-cutting is equally hot. "All directions Nafu Spring is full of courtyards" invited Lingnan paper-cutting masters to jointly create paper-cutting of Nafu in Spring Festival, which combined traditional art and fashion, and blended 8 classic works and 88 characters of "Fu" into the Spring Festival installation to convey blessings.

  Paper-cutting is not a unique folk craft of Han nationality. In Ji Ya Community of Molidawa Daur Autonomous Banner (hereinafter referred to as Moqi) in Hulunbeier City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, several hanika folk craftsmen are sitting around the kang table making hanika. Hanika is a unique toy paper doll of Daur nationality. The cone-shaped figure body and plane paper-cut figure head, coupled with colorful paper-cut clothing, present a three-dimensional paper doll lifelike. In order to protect the traditional culture of hanika and other ethnic groups, Moqi implemented the Regulations on the Protection of Traditional Folk Culture of Daur Ethnic Groups, set up an interest group for the production of ethnic handicrafts such as hanika in ethnic schools, and set up an ethnic culture lecture hall in the community.

  In Moqi, from children to middle-aged and elderly women, almost everyone can make hanika. "Our primary schools in Moqi have this course. My daughter always pesters me to do hanika with her after finishing her homework." Meng Lina, a craftsman in hanika, said that hanika has become a unique cultural card of the Daur people. "Many tourists want to buy some to take back as a souvenir when they see hanika, but we are more willing to teach tourists how to make hanika and let more people know about our national paper-cutting." Meng Lina said.

  "The headdress is a particularly difficult part, and it is also the most interesting. Flowers, branches and leaves, antlers and other shapes can be used, depending on your creativity." Du Yueying, a craftsman in hanika, is holding scissors and teaching tourists from Dandong, Liaoning, how to cut headdresses. "The process of learning to make is very interesting." Chang An said, "Although hanika is a unique paper-cut of the Daur people, these paper dolls are particularly fashionable. Look at these paper-cuts framed in frames, which are like a modern work of art."

  Have a basketball game during the Spring Festival.

  On the morning of New Year’s Day, in Yangyi Gymnasium, Xinyang Town, Youxi County, Fujian Province, with the whistle of the referee, the 2018 Spring Festival inter-village basketball match kicked off. Folks from all directions came to watch and packed the stadium.

  The inter-village basketball match in Xinyang Town has been held since the 1960s and has never stopped. At first, only four villages, Wenshan, Shangjing, Linwei and Chitian, participated. Later, four villages, Kanli, Xiaqiao, Jianxin and Longyi, were added, and now it has expanded to more than 10 villages. There are 13 teams participating in this year, and the basketball team of Sanming Village will be invited to have a friendly match.

  "It was originally organized because Xinyang Town had a large population and there were no entertainment and cultural activities in the village. Now it has become a tradition for Xinyang people to celebrate the Spring Festival. " Wang Zhaochao, secretary of the branch of Kanli Village, has been the leader of the basketball team in Kanli Village for more than 20 years. He said, "Every basketball game is watched by 3,000 or 4,000 people. During the Spring Festival, everyone wants to watch basketball games, and bad habits such as gambling are gone."

  At the beginning of the new year, the exhibition hall and square of Jinjiang Cultural Center are filled with song and dance performances, high-level opera performances and other activities. In Jinjiang Theatre Center, the puppet show Shi Gong’s Judgment, the children’s puppet show Wu Song’s Killing the Tiger, Chen Xiang’s Saving Mother, Avanti’s Daming Fu, and the large-scale innovative children’s drama Beauty and the Beast are staged in turn.

  Anhai, an ancient town of overseas Chinese, has three major festivals with the theme of "Anping Ancient Town and Haisi Famous City", which attracts hundreds of thousands of overseas Chinese and relatives at home and abroad to participate every year.

  In order to thoroughly study, publicize and implement the spirit of the 19th Party Congress, and enhance the effectiveness of benefiting the people through culture, the Propaganda Department of Fujian Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles also organized the "Spring Festival couplets into ten thousand families and ten thousand families hanging Spring Festival couplets" in the whole province in 2018, organized more than 7,200 calligraphers and enthusiasts to write 619,800 copies of Spring Festival couplets, and distributed "cultural red envelopes" to more than 600,000 families (units) around the country. William Gao, an American villager, contributed a couplet, "Hard work, endless practice and innovation; Take the lead, rejuvenate and build a journey, and get praise from experts. Hong Kong compatriot Li Kesheng said: "My couplet is ‘ The 19 th East Wind blows the land of Fujian; Sweet dreams in Qian Fan, sailing for tomorrow ’ I wish the country an all-round well-off society at an early date, and Fujian will get better and better tomorrow! "

At the beginning of the 20th century, Liulichang reached the peak of cultural relics fraud.

Since ancient times, it has become a common practice to falsify cultural properties. During the Qianlong period, Ji Xiaolan Jida tobacco pouch was planted on a small ink. In his Notes on Yuewei Caotang, there is such a record: "I tried to buy sixteen collars of Luo Xiaohua ink, and the lacquer box was gloomy, which was really old. Try it, it is mud and dyed black, with frost on it, and it is also born in the wetland. " What do you mean? Once University Master Ji bought Gu Mo from Luo Xiaohua, a famous ink maker in Ming Dynasty, only to find that it was made of mud when he went home and even the frost on the surface was long mildew spots. Then he sighed and said, "There is nothing more deceitful than the capital."

In the years of the Republic of China, the phenomenon that ancient cultural relics were falsified and falsified was more prominent. On the one hand, it is due to the serious loss of cultural relics invaded by the great powers in the late Qing Dynasty, and the sharp increase in reselling cultural relics and counterfeiting, on the other hand, it is also due to the continuous improvement of counterfeiting means and technology. During this period, the people who came to Liulichang to buy and sell goods were extremely complicated, and the sources of goods were also miscellaneous. Those endless fake cultural relics made many experts hit their eyes.

Yue Bin does whatever it takes to make a fake, and he also keeps a fake gang.

In 1910, 14-year-old Yue Bin came to Beijing from his hometown of Zhanggezhuang, Hebei Province, and worked as an apprentice in a small antique shop in a temple in Syrah Hutong. He followed his master around dumping secondhand goods and gained a lot of skills. Later, he went it alone, sold a Ming dynasty porcelain according to Song porcelain, made a lot of money, and made a fortune from then on. Yue Bin, a foreigner, often buys precious cultural relics and sells them to foreigners at high prices, causing many national treasures to be lost overseas. One of the most famous is the case of "The Ritual of the Empress Dowager". We have talked about this incident in detail, so I don’t want to say much here: Yanjing’s old story | stealing and destroying national treasures and selling them to the United States, it is inevitable to wash my hands of it.

The one on the left in the back row is Yue Bin.

Yue Bin is a master of counterfeiting. In the late 1930s, he bought a pair of Kangxi tricolor parrots at the cross-goods yard of Beijing Antiques Chamber of Commerce, which was extremely rare. Immediately, people copied three pairs and sold one pair every year and a half, which did not arouse others’ suspicion. In 1941, he had a horizontal bronze elk made with a strange shape, smeared with silver hydrochloride and boiled with alum, smeared for more than a dozen times and boiled for more than 200 hours, and finally turned the bronze from yellow to dark green. But the color changed without rust, so he buried the bronze in the toilet where he urinated and poured urine up every day. It’s disgusting, but after a summer’s exposure, it was dug up in the autumn cold dew, and this "four unlike" seems to be a bronze ware of Shang and Zhou Dynasties unearthed from a new pit. Later, Yue Bin sold it to foreigners at a high price to make huge profits.

In order to make fakes, Yue Bin also hired several experts to repair ancient cultural relics, repair antiques for him, make them look as good as new, or copy them and sell fakes. For example, Zhang Jiqing specially repaired and copied bronzes for him, and Li Huanzhang specially renovated Tang Sancai and earthenware for him. Yue Bin’s Bin Ji was the largest antique shop in Beijing at that time, and it was also the birthplace of the largest counterfeit goods.

In 1930s, Haida Morrison shot an antique stall.

If a person just fakes, at least it won’t cause any substantial damage to the cultural relics themselves. But Yue Bin is different. He can destroy the original in order to make his fake real.

Before the "July 7th Incident", Yue Bin sold the head of a stone Buddha of the Northern Wei Dynasty to the American oil magnate for $30,000. Of course, this Buddha’s head is a fake. Yue Bin sent someone to Yungang Grottoes to take a picture of the Buddha’s head first, and then selected the stone, so he copied it. After the "July 7th Incident", the American oil magnate found that the original stone statue was still in its original place, only then did he know that he had been cheated, and he sent a telegram asking for a return. In order to cover up the fact, Yue Bin went mad, paid 3000 yuan to buy off the warlord Sun Dianying’s men, blew up the head of the stone Buddha in Yungang Grottoes, and then sent electricity to the oil king, stating that Yungang had no such stone Buddha, and if there was, it should not only be returned, but also be punished; If it does not, the US should be responsible for compensating him for his reputation loss. As a result, the matter just went away.

There is something fishy about uncovering and mounting ancient paintings.

The means of calligraphy and painting fraud is generally copying. During the period of the Republic of China, experts in counterfeiting not only copied fake paintings to the point of low price. When copying famous paintings abroad, in addition to the painter in place, the oil paints, canvases or drawing boards used must be exactly the same as those used in ancient paintings.

In the Polish film "Stealing Da Vinci", the drawing board, frame and pigment used in the woman with the silver mouse copied by the female painter are the same as those used in the original painting of Da Vinci, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity with the naked eye.

But it’s a fake after all, and there’s a more "advanced" fake that makes you feel wronged even when you say he’s faking it. This is all due to the paper used in Chinese painting. Although rice paper is thin, good rice paper is not a single layer, and famous writers often try to penetrate the back of the paper. Therefore, an "experienced" painter can uncover and mount a real ancient painting into two or even three. In the process of re-mounting the famous painting, they took off a thin layer of the original and stole it, and returned the remaining one to the original owner, which was a copy. Only by carefully comparing the two paintings can we find that the ink color of the copy is slightly lighter. The paperhanger can also sketch the copy again to make it the same color as the original ink.

There are also fake paintings that have been handed down by the painter to dig out the title, fill in the real money, or add the real postscript to pretend to be the real painting; Some paintings, because the painter’s reputation is not high, the painter digs out the real money, replaces it with the fake money of a famous painter, and even forges the "imperial title" and pretends to be a famous painting. The level of this kind of fraud is far higher than that in the past, and of course it also reflects that the level of uncovering and mounting technology has been greatly improved. It is possible to steal the day and confuse the real with the fake through fraud.

In addition to money and inscriptions, there were people who made fake stamps at that time. Han Bowen started reading ancient Zhai to buy and sell calligraphy and paintings of celebrities in Ming and Qing Dynasties. People in the same trade just heard that he could make fake prints and fake paintings, but they couldn’t tell which one was true and which was false. Until 1956, when the public-private partnership was implemented, Han Bowen actually handed over more than 300 fake seals, which made people stunned.

It is impossible to prevent the phenomenon of "killing ripe", and the shopkeeper of antique shop buys fakes at a high price

There was a story in Liulichang that Han Shaoci mistakenly bought Wang Yi’s fake paintings.

Han Shaoci was a famous antique dealer in the Republic of China. He accumulated a lot of experience in buying and selling antiques at ordinary times, and his Yunguzhai was an important antique shop in Liulichang. However, his ability to identify calligraphy and painting is average, mainly relying on his employee Wan Xiaozhu. Wan Xiaozhu helped Han Shaoci earn a lot of money, and later left Han Shaoci to go it alone. In Liulichang, it is common for people to leave the shopkeeper to set up another door, and it is often the latecomers who are better than the former, because the experience accumulated by the latecomers from practice often exceeds the former, which is also a reason why Liulichang can continue to prosper and develop.

Two months after Wan Xiaozhu left Yunguzhai, a collector from Changshu in the south of the Yangtze River wrote to Yunguzhai, claiming that he had a vertical axis of Wang Yi’s landscape, and invited Wan Xiaozhu to Changshu to see the painting and discuss the price of the flour. Han Shaoci thought that Wan Xiaozhu had left him, and this good painting must not fall into his hands, so he quickly sent someone to Changshu to bring the famous painting of Wang Miao to Beijing.

After painting to Yun Gu Zhai, Han Shaoci opened it and saw that it was a landscape vertical shaft with a length of 4 feet and a width of 1 foot and 5 inches. The brushwork was magnificent, and the painting was surrounded by pines and several miscellaneous trees, which shaded the cottage. A guest was walking across the bridge with a cane, and the water under the bridge shook the stone, as if there were sounds. This is exactly the scene that often appears in Wang Yi’s works. Draw the inscription "Wang Yi, the history of cultivating cigarettes". Put two seals on it: "Seal of Wang Yi", printed in white; "History of Farming Tobacco", printed by Zhu Wenfang. Han Shaoci decided that it was the original of Wang Miao, and it came from Changshu, Wang Miao’s hometown, and there was no mistake, so he bought the painting at a high price.

Wang Shigu’s paintings

After the news that Han Shaoci bought the original Wang Yi came out, the famous experts of calligraphy and painting in Liulichang came to ask for appreciation. After they read it, some hesitated and remained silent; Someone said quietly, "This is an old painting of the Qing Dynasty, which is an imitation of the Yushan school painter. The original painting has no money, and the money and seal on it seem to be written by Zhang Jianxuan …" This sentence reminds the dreamer. After watching the original painting again and again, Han Shaoci recognized that the handwriting of the inscription really came from Zhang Jianxuan, who was famous for imitating others’ handwriting in the glass-thinning factory. And the painting is not shallow enough to enter the lower level, which is obviously a new seal; Looking closely at the painting, the brushwork is tender, and it is not as sophisticated as the old man Ishiguro’s brushwork. Han Shaoci did buy fake paintings.

But this whole thing is actually a trap set by Wan Xiaozhu on purpose. It turned out that in Yunguzhai, Han Shaoci always boasted that he was an expert in the identification of Wang Yi’s paintings, and he could tell the truth at a touch, but in fact the real appraiser was Wan Xiaoju. So Wan Xiaoju decided to try Han Shaoci’s eyesight after she set up another portal. Coincidentally, just as he left Yun Guzhai, he saw a fake painting pretending to be Wang Hao in Liulichang. The strokes were good and the momentum was good, but there was no next payment, so he bought the painting and asked Zhang Jianxuan to leave a fake money. Then, he sent the painting to Changshu, and the trustee wrote a letter from Changshu to Yunguzhai for sale, which led to the above-mentioned production.

In Liulichang, there is also a story about Chen Jie, who is familiar in the field of cultural relics, being cheated by collecting ancient seals.

Chen Jieqi was a native of Qing Dynasty, and his hometown was Wei County, Shandong Province. He was an expert in collecting ancient seals. On one occasion, he told his friend Wang Xiquan that he had collected many ancient seals of Qin and Han dynasties, but only some seals of Zhou and Qin languages had not been collected. From that half a year later, one morning, a woodcutter was resting in front of Chen Jieqi’s house with firewood and a cigarette pole, which happened to be seen by Chen Jieqi who was going out. He saw an ancient seal tied to the woodcutter’s tobacco pouch, and with the turmoil of the tobacco rod, the ancient seal kept moving.

"Chen Jieqi" seal, in the Palace Museum.

Chen Jieqi took the seal and looked at it. He was overjoyed. It was the kind of ancient seal he was looking for. Chen Jieqi asked, "Where did you get this seal?" The woodcutter said, "When I was growing vegetables, I went down one day and seemed to come across something. I dug it up and found it." Chen Jieqi’s heart said that it really didn’t take much effort to get it, so he had to pay for it. As a result, the woodcutter not only refused him, but later saw Chen Jieqi pestering him, and simply took up the burden and left. Finally, Chen Jieqi sent someone to catch up with him, dragged the woodcutter back and gave him five hundred strings of money before he bought this ancient seal.

But this is also a fake. It was his good friend Wang Xiquan who listened to Chen Jieqi’s words and bribed the woodcutter to design this little trap. I don’t know if these two later friends have done their best …

The water in the literary world is too deep, not to mention an antique white wandering around, but it is common for an expert to buy a fake. A while ago, I went to visit Daliushu, and there were more people everywhere than things on the stalls. A stall owner said that everyone wanted to pick up the leaks, but where are there so many leaks waiting for you to pick up? I want to tell you that it’s a good thing that we have "Antique close encounter of mahjong", so we followed the hero in the story and read all the tricks in the antique business!

After 2014, the Olympic Games won the prize, and all kinds of training courses were cancelled without cooling down.

After 2014, the Olympic Games won the prize, and all kinds of training courses were cancelled without cooling down.

  A few days ago, Beijing again issued a ban on cleaning up the Olympic Games, once again occupying a prominent position in major portals. In fact, as early as 2001, the Ministry of Education issued a ban, stipulating that the results of "Olympic Games" should not be linked to enrollment; In November 2010, the Ministry of Education made it clear that starting from 2014, the Olympic College Entrance Examination will be cancelled.

  However, the reporter’s investigation found that the Olympic Games has been stopped for 11 years, but this "high-speed train" has never stopped, and the Olympic Games training is still hot. Why is the Olympic Games training not cooling down? How can we make the Olympic Games no longer simply become a "stepping stone" for further studies?

  This year’s college entrance examination, Liu Yi from Bashu Middle School was successfully admitted to the mathematics major of Peking University. Because Liu Yi has won many awards in national mathematics competitions: the second prize of China Mathematical Olympics in 2012 and the first prize of the National Senior High School Mathematics League (provincial division) for three consecutive years from 2009 to 2011.

  Liu Yi is just one of the college entrance examination graduates who were walked. In this year’s college entrance examination, 80 students in our city were admitted to well-known universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua University and Fudan University for winning the competition, accounting for 39% of the 203 students admitted.

  In 2014, the Olympic College Entrance Examination was cancelled.

  Independent enrollment is preferred.

  In 2011, among the 186 students who walked in the college entrance examination in our city, 69 students won prizes because of academic competitions, accounting for 37% of the total number of students who walked, and 7 of them won prizes in the Olympic Games. In 2010, 63 students in our city were walked because of winning the competition, accounting for 40% of the 159 students walked that year, among which 8 students won the national Olympic Mathematical Competition. Throughout the past three years, nearly 40% of the students who walk in the college entrance examination in our city are winners of various competitions, except those recommended by Chongqing Foreign Languages School.

  However, this situation will change in 2014.

  In 2010, the Ministry of Education launched a plan to standardize and adjust some college entrance examination plus points. From the college entrance examination in 2014, the students who could have been eligible for walking in the national finals of the Olympic Games and the first prize of the Olympic Games Division will no longer be eligible for walking in the future, but under the same conditions, the colleges and universities applied by students will be given priority to participate in the independent selection and admission assessment of their own schools.

  Top class expands thinking

  "Olympic math class" continues under another name.

  Although the Olympic Games winners will cancel the college entrance examination walk from 2014, the Olympic Games training is still hot.

  On the morning of November 2, a female teacher at the Learning and Thinking Service Center in the Three Gorges Square in Shapingba District said that their Olympic math training is divided into "top class" and "extraordinary class". In which class children can enter, they must first take an entrance test. From the fifth grade, they must learn seven major sections of primary school Olympic math: calculation, geometry, itinerary, number theory, counting, applied questions and miscellaneous questions. If you have a good foundation, you can finish the knowledge of junior high school for several years.

  According to reports, each class has a class once a week, and the cost of 15 classes is 1820 yuan. A class usually enrolls about 20 students. The teacher said that the number of places in the autumn class is full, and the class has been started five times. If you are worried that your child can’t keep up, it is recommended to wait until the beginning of December to attend the winter vacation class or the spring class next year.

  On the afternoon of November 3rd, at a training school in Yangjiaping Pedestrian Street, the mathematics training of the school was called "Expanding Thinking". The person in charge of the school told the reporter that there is no special Olympic math class at present. For students whose math scores are above 95 at ordinary times, if they have special requirements for studying Olympic math, the school will arrange special teachers to attend classes, and the cost is about 140 yuan ~160 yuan/hour.

  The reporter visited a number of training institutions and found that some of the textbooks used in these training courses were compiled according to the Olympic Mathematics textbooks, and some were excerpted from the Olympic Mathematics textbooks. The examples and exercises were almost the same. Compared with the past Olympic math class, only the name has changed.

  Mathematics class is the hottest.

  The school competition class is still not cooling down.

  Olympic Mathematical Training is still popular in training institutions, has it cooled down in various schools?

  "Mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, informatics, all disciplines have competition classes, and many students have signed up. However, the hottest thing is the math class. " Xiao Jing (a pseudonym), a senior two girl from a directly affiliated school in Shapingba District, said, "Maybe everyone thinks that the math foundation is better, so they all want to spell math."

  "Almost all the students in the experimental class reported to the competition class, and many students in the parallel class also participated in the training." Xiao Yang, a senior two boy from Bashu Middle School, said that he signed up for the biology class he was most interested in.

  "After the cancellation of the walk, some students’ enthusiasm is declining, but those who should participate will still participate." Teacher Zhou, who has been the head coach of a middle school for a long time, said that, for example, more than 50 freshmen are taking part in his tutoring this year. The reporter’s investigation found that key middle schools in our city, especially those directly under the Municipal Education Commission, such as No.1 Middle School, No.3 Middle School, No.8 Middle School and Bashu Middle School, still offer various subject competition classes in all grades of high school.

  Nearly 70% of the respondents said that they had trained.

  Olympic Games is trapped in the embarrassment of "10,000 people sparring"

  According to the survey report of China Social Investigation Institute on families in large and medium-sized cities in China, 68% of school-age children have participated in Olympic Games training. 57% of the respondents said that it was to give children the opportunity to enter a prestigious school; 48% is to cultivate children’s logical thinking ability; Only 4% said that "children are willing to attend the Olympic Games".

  "Learning the Olympic Games is very bitter and boring. Many students gave up later, and only a few won the prize in the end." Xiao Liu, who won the first prize in the National Biology Competition for Middle School Students last year and was sent to Peking University, said.

  "There are many students who have participated in the training, but there are very few students who can finally win the award and get the qualification to walk." The person in charge of the Academic Affairs Office of a key middle school told the reporter that a large number of students participate in the Olympic Games in various subjects every year, but most of them become "sparring partners". For example, there are thousands of students in Chongqing who participate in the National Mathematics League, and only about 20 students finally win the prize and get the qualification to walk.

  Winning the prize to become a prestigious school’s independent enrollment "knocking on the door"

  Why is it that after knowing that the Olympic Games won the prize and canceled the walk, the training in disciplines such as Olympic Mathematics has not cooled down?

  "There are three ways to enter a famous university: one is to get good grades in the naked college entrance examination, the other is to take the independent entrance examination of famous universities, and the third is to win prizes in competitions." Xiao Jing said that although winning the prize is no longer eligible for walking, it can still increase the chips in the independent enrollment of famous universities.

  "The purpose of my training is to win the prize, so that I can take the independent entrance examination in the future." Xiao Huang, a senior two boy from Chongqing No.1 Middle School, said frankly that he hopes to win the prize in the national Olympic Mathematical Competition, which is a "stepping stone" for the independent enrollment of famous universities.

  In fact, "winning the Olympic Games" is still one of the conditions for many prestigious schools to enroll themselves. For example, Nanjing University’s self-enrollment plan A in 2012 clearly wrote the conditions such as "those who won the first prize at the provincial level in the national Olympics in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and informatics or those who won the second prize in the provincial division in both mathematics and physics" into the enrollment brochure. Shandong University’s conditions for self-enrollment and self-recommendation in 2012 also include "candidates who won the second prize and above in the provincial division".

  Li Changming, vice president of the Municipal Academy of Education, said: "The Olympic Games is hot, because many students are still studying for extra points and independent enrollment of famous universities, so we can’t expect a paper document to save the Olympic Games." "The winners of the Olympic Games are important targets for independent enrollment and selection of key universities at present." Xiong Bingqi, vice president of 21st Century Education Research Institute, also believes that there are 80 key universities with independent enrollment qualifications in China, and their concern for Olympic winners will not be cancelled with the cancellation of the qualification for walking. The root of "Olympic fever" is that the college entrance examination still selects students with a single score standard.

  Benefits Blow the "Bubble" of the Olympic Games

  The headmaster of a key middle school in our city told the reporter that the Olympic Games is a global competition. Foreign students study the Olympic Games out of interest, usually attending training classes in winter and summer vacations, but the domestic Olympic Games training has completely changed, and there is an invisible interest chain behind it.

  It is understood that the Olympic Games has formed a complete interest chain covering training, textbook writing and publishing, competitions, etc.: training institutions charge fees by running Olympic Games classes; Research institutions make money by processing Olympic Games teaching materials; The organizers earn money by holding various competitions, and the economic interests make the utilitarianism of the Olympic Games more obvious.

  The reporter investigated a number of Olympic Games training institutions and learned that at present, the cost of each training course in Olympic Games in our city ranges from 1,800 yuan to 5,000 yuan, with teachers ranging from retired teachers to Olympic Games coaches from prestigious schools. It is reported that the Beijing Olympic Games market will reach 2 billion yuan in one year. Xiong Bingqi, vice president of 21st Century Education Research Institute, said that there is a training market with a share of more than 200 billion yuan, 80% of which is subject-based training, including primary and secondary school training, including Olympic Mathematics.

  Multi-evaluation system should be established in college entrance examination

  "If we don’t break the cycle of the college entrance examination, it will be difficult to cool down the Olympic Games fever. The college entrance examination should not only examine people by scores, but also establish a credible multi-evaluation system. The evaluation and selection of talents should be more targeted at people themselves, rather than relying on certificates and awards." Li Changming, vice president of the Municipal Academy of Education, believes that it is also meaningful to retain the extra points in the Olympic Games. After all, the Olympic Games is one of the ways to test students’ academic specialties and potential, which can meet the development needs of a small number of candidates with special talents. We should intensify the reform of the college entrance examination and crack the strange circle of taking exams.

  "The vast majority of students learn the Olympic Games, or to improve their test scores. There are very few students who are really interested in participating in the Olympic Games." Xiong Bingqi, vice president of 21st Century Education Research Institute, thinks that, therefore, despite the cancellation of the Olympic Games in many places, the Olympic Games is still very hot. Because the pursuit of high scores in subject examinations is the common pursuit of all parents and students. The best way to really cool down the "Olympic fever" is to reform the college entrance examination system and establish a diversified evaluation system.

  In 2001, the Ministry of Education issued a ban, stipulating that the results of "Olympic Games" should not be linked to enrollment.

  In November, 2010, the Ministry of Education and other five departments launched a plan to standardize and adjust some college entrance examination plus points. Students who won the first prize in the national finals of the Olympic Games and the first prize in the Olympic Games Division will no longer be eligible for walks, but under the same conditions, colleges and universities applied by students will be given priority to participate in the independent selection and admission assessment of their own schools.

  In August, 2012, the Ministry of Education issued a "supervision order" to start school in autumn, forbidding the holding of training courses linked to enrollment, resolutely stopping the behavior of linking the Olympic Mathematics in disguise, and not setting up or setting up key classes in disguise.
