Lecture | Zhang Mingyang: Tang Dynasty before and after An Shi Rebellion

In the fourteenth year of Tianbao (AD 755), the Anshi Rebellion began. An Lushan Fan Yang rose up to revolt, and the clamor shook the ground until Tongguan fell. Chang ‘an, the capital of the world, became fragile and embarrassed in the sound of Yuyang’s drums, and the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty also collapsed. Why did the accident break out? Why did the prosperity collapse? The experience of people who are separated from the experience is enough to explain and convey. Li Longji’s monarch and his subjects suddenly switched from conceited to hastily resigned from the temple; The evils of Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, the two prime ministers; Yang Yuhuan’s "where are those perfect eyes, where are those pearly teeth?" in Mayiyi; Prince Li Heng’s forbearance and grandiose performance; An Lushan’s Hu Xuan dance and dragging the river; Zhang Suiyang’s teeth and Yan Changshan’s tongue in the bloody sun; It is Li Bai, Du Fu and Wang Wei who can’t be separated from the troubled times … This group of people, who have gone through the troubled times from the prosperous times, are facing their own difficulties and have different breakthroughs and choices in the unexpected period from the prosperous times to the troubled times. Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, An Lushan, Yan Gaoqing, Ge Shuhan, Yang Yuhuan, Li Heng, Zhang Xun and others abandoned Chang ‘an, and focused on the important issues in the process of Tang Dynasty’s prosperity and decline, so as to re-portray the complete historical picture of the Anshi Rebellion.

The following is the content of this lantern bearer activity:

Zhang Mingyang, a writer, historical writer and senior media person, wrote a new work, Abandoning Chang ‘an.

The Anshi Rebellion is both strange and familiar to many Chinese, which can be said to be "the most familiar stranger". During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in Li Longji, this rebellion was provoked by An Lushan, during which the famous Mayiyi mutiny took place. The Anshi Rebellion is a very important event in the history of China, which can be interpreted in many dimensions.

The prosperous time of Xuanzong came to an abrupt end.

The Anshi Rebellion broke out at the end of Xuanzong’s prosperous period.

There are many prosperous times in the history of China, such as the rule of Wenjing, Zhenguan, Kaiyuan, Kanggan and so on, and the prosperous time of Xuanzong is very different from other prosperous times, that is, the way it ended. Many prosperous times come to an end naturally, with a slow downward process or a half-life. For example, in the last years of Qianlong, Qianlong became increasingly old and began to be fatuous. His successor, Emperor Jiaqing, was not a talented emperor, so the prosperous time of Kangxi and Qianlong ended in a long period of time. But Xuanzong’s prosperous time was different, and it came to an abrupt end. When An Lushan started his army, Xuanzong’s prosperous time was still at its peak in a sense, and the Anshi Rebellion was like an emergency, which suddenly broke the rhythm of the prosperous time. This may be unique in the history of China.

A troubled time that was caught off guard made everyone unprepared. It is this suddenness that makes history show its strong tension, and the different faces of various historical figures are fully highlighted at the turn of prosperous times and troubled times.

The most flustered person should be Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He obviously didn’t make any psychological preparation for the rebellion. Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty defined himself as a great emperor and a prosperous monarch, so in the middle and late period of Xuanzong’s era, one of his favorite things was to expand and open up the border. Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty needed such a powerful role as An Lushan to help him infinitely enlarge the military achievements of the prosperous times and the glory of the Tang Dynasty. He trusted An Lushan very much, and the emperor’s full trust brought a lot of decentralization and resource inclination to An Lushan. An Lushan sat up all the way, and finally had the capital of rebellion.

Li Longji

The fierce court struggle became a hotbed of rebellion.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty never thought that An Lushan would rebel, because according to the tradition of the court in the Tang Dynasty, the emperor focused on the coup at the court, but did not pay attention to the crisis outside the court. There have been many court coups in the history of the Tang Dynasty, such as the well-known change of Xuanwu Gate, and the end of Wu Zetian’s era through court coups, and even the rise of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was achieved through court coups. The fierce infighting in the court of the Tang Dynasty became a hotbed of chaos and influenced the historical trend. The Anshi Rebellion was also closely related to the infighting in the court to a great extent. We often say now that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, such a brilliant emperor, why did he use Li Linfu first and then Yang Guozhong as a "traitor"? I don’t think it is enough to use the logical explanation of the foreign dynasty alone. From the perspective of court infighting, the emperor did so with his intention. Li Linfu was good at governing the country and Yang Guozhong was good at managing money, but one of the biggest reasons why Tang Xuanzong used them was not to focus on the national development plan, but to let them do their dirty work-beware of the prince. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty is very familiar with the historical traditions of the Tang Dynasty. He himself forced his father Tang Ruizong Li Dan to abdicate, so he was worried that his son would "deal with him as he deals with you", so he has been guarding against this.

Therefore, we can see that in the later period of Xuanzong’s prosperous period, there were two major political themes: the external political theme was to open up the frontier, that is, to ask the Northwest Army of An Lushan and Datang to open up its territory; The internal political theme is the struggle between Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and the Prince.

Li Longji’s attitude towards the prince is worth pondering. On the one hand, he doesn’t want to abolish the prince, because out of political rationality, he knows that he will die one day, and the throne will always be passed on to the prince; On the other hand, he didn’t want the prince to form his own political power before his death, so as to avoid a palace coup against himself. So he crushed the prince all the way, especially in the era of Li Linfu. In a few years, he set off three major cases against the prince in a row, which was called "Tianbao Three Prisons" in history. Li Longji did these things out of instinctive vigilance against the position of the prince, not against Li Heng himself-he didn’t have any special dissatisfaction with Li Heng and Li Longji, and he didn’t want to change people.

Two prime ministers who made meritorious service in the process of suppressing the prince.

Li Longji’s ambivalent attitude towards the Prince has brought a lot of "troubles" to Prime Minister Li Linfu, making it difficult for him to be a man. On the one hand, if he doesn’t suppress the prince according to Li Longji’s wishes, his prime minister will sit unsteadily; But on the other hand, today’s prince is the future emperor. Will the prince let himself go after he ascended the throne? Obviously impossible. Even if Li Linfu himself died, the new emperor might not spare the descendants of the Li Linfu family. Therefore, while suppressing the prince to gain the favor of the emperor, Li Linfu also has a "plan" to protect himself: by "adding firewood and adding fire", all kinds of events involving the prince are magnified, hoping to get rid of the prince in order to avoid future troubles. Interestingly, at this time, Tang Xuanzong, who was ambivalent, would stand up to protect the prince again. He didn’t want to see the prince abolished. The complicated relationship between these three people has been going on, and there are several rounds in the middle where things are particularly fierce.

Another important figure in the prosperous time of Xuanzong was Yang Guozhong. Yang Guozhong’s financial management ability is very strong, and Tang Xuanzong needs economic support to establish military achievements, so Yang Guozhong can play a role; Moreover, he is Yang Guifei’s distant eldest brother, and this nepotism helps to be superior. When Yang Guozhong just rose, he worked under Li Linfu. When Li Linfu helped Tang Xuanzong plan to suppress the "Tianbao Three Prisons" of the Prince, Yang Guozhong was a loyal thug of Li Linfu and made a lot of contributions in the process of cracking down on the Prince. Therefore, it can also be said that this may be another reason why Tang Xuanzong took a fancy to Yang Guozhong.

After Li Linfu’s death, Yang Guozhong came to power. At that time, three major political forces were formed in the Tang Dynasty: one was the consort group of Yang Guozhong and Yang Guifei, the other was Prince Li Heng, and the third was the frontier forces represented by An Lushan. On top of these three parties, Li Longji hopes to play a detached role, and through behind-the-scenes manipulation, he hopes to achieve mutual checks and balances among the three parties. However, judging from the outbreak of An Shi Rebellion, Li Longji was unable to control the infighting among the three forces within a limited range, which eventually led to disaster.

Intertwined opposites

Li Longji failed to realize the internal checks and balances he envisioned, and he failed to fix several groups of oppositions in the political situation of the court.

An Lushan VS Yang Guozhong

An Lushan and Yang Guozhong were political allies at first, and at the end of Li Linfu’s administration, they jointly killed Li Linfu. But after Li Linfu died, the two men turned against each other. Although An Lushan was ambitious, he made up his mind to rebel, not for a long time, but for about 12 to 13 years in Tianbao. Before the rebellion, An Lushan’s ambition was to become the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, but his road to worship the Prime Minister was blocked by Yang Guozhong. An Lushan was very disappointed, not only because his political aspirations failed, but also because his battle with Yang Guozhong for favor ended in his failure. In An Lushan’s view, the most trusted and favored person in Tang Xuanzong was Yang Guozhong, not himself. Fall from grace made An Lushan feel afraid. He was worried that his position in the Northeast might be lost, and that his personal safety was threatened by Yang Guozhong, so he gradually sprouted a rebellious mind. Therefore, we can also say that An Lushan’s starting part is also driven by "self-protection".

The struggle between Yang Guozhong and An Lushan contributed to the outbreak of An Shi Rebellion. And Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty has always attached great importance to An Lushan’s military achievements, which created conditions for An Lushan’s rebellion. The subjective will and the strength of rebellion are already available, and it is natural to break out of rebellion.

An Lushan VS Prince Li Heng

The relationship between An Lushan and Prince Li Heng is also quite interesting. There is a saying that An Lushan intends to rebel after Li Longji’s death. Perhaps An Lushan still has some feelings for Tang Xuanzong and is unwilling to expect anything easily. For Prince Li Heng, An Lushan is more contemptuous. There is a famous joke in history: An Lushan went to the DPRK to see Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Xuanzong introduced him to Prince Li Heng. An Lushan even said in front of everyone, "I am a courtier, I don’t know what the prince is?" When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty explained that the prince was Chu Jun, he added, "I am a fool, but I only know that there is your majesty, but I don’t know that there is more Chu Jun." This demeaning behavior of the prince in public may be regarded as the crime of decapitation by others, but Tang Xuanzong was very happy in his heart: he felt An Lushan’s loyalty and was psychologically satisfied in suppressing the prince. From this, we can also see that An Lushan is not a reckless man, but a schemer.

An Lushan, Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu, they all have one thing in common, that is, they cater to Tang Xuanzong’s precautions against Prince Li Heng.

Yang Guozhong VS Prince Li Heng

The relationship between Yang Guozhong and Prince Li Heng is even worse. Yang Guozhong came to power by suppressing the prince, so there is no room for everything in his relationship with the prince. Yang Guozhong knew that as long as Li Heng was in charge in the future, he would certainly be finished, so Yang Guozhong was eager to abolish the prince. The power struggle between An Lushan and Yang Guozhong partly led to the outbreak of An Shi Rebellion, but the initial process of An Shi Rebellion was largely shaped by the struggle between Yang Guozhong and Prince Li Heng. After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Li Longji’s mood may be a little collapsed, and he lacks confidence in quelling the rebellion. So he wants to transfer a lot of power to Prince Li Heng, so that the Prince can supervise the country and settle the chaos. Yang Guozhong was shocked when he knew this, so he mobilized various forces of Yang’s family to persuade Li Longji to give up the idea. Many speculators in the Tang Dynasty also saw the opportunity. They felt that the wind was blowing towards the Prince, so many people went to the Prince camp intentionally or unintentionally, which also aggravated Yang Guozhong’s sense of crisis.

Goshuhan VS Yang Guozhong

The direct reason why Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty fled Chang ‘an was the fall of Tongguan. In the face of the rebel offensive, Ge Shuhan, the general guarding Tongguan, refused to go out to meet the enemy. He felt that his troops were more than enough to defend the city and lacked in attack, while Tongguan was easy to defend but difficult to attack, so he planned not to hold out. His idea met with fierce opposition from Yang Guozhong. Under the repeated urging of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guozhong, Ge Shuhan was finally forced to lead troops to go through the customs, and was ambushed by the rebels and suffered a fiasco. Why did Yang Guozhong instigate Geshuhan to send troops? The main reason behind this is the fierce struggle between Gershohan and Yang Guozhong. At that time, Geshuhan was the agent of the prince in the army, and Yang Guozhong was afraid of the prince and worried that Geshuhan would kill himself if he mastered the relieving. So, for Yang Guozhong, An Lushan is an enemy, but the more realistic and direct threat is Geshuhan, so Yang Guozhong forced Geshuhan to send troops, not only to quickly solve the rebels, but also to take the opportunity to recover the relieving. What Yang Guozhong didn’t expect was that his selfish behavior not only killed Geshuhan, but also directly led to the fall of Tongguan, forcing Li Longji and a group of ministers to abandon Chang ‘an and flee. Yang Guozhong also killed himself and died in the Mayiyi mutiny.

As for the Mayiyi mutiny, why did Yang Guozhong die? On the one hand, it was because the army had instinctive hatred for people who had brought disaster to the country like Yang Guozhong, and there was also a big reason that Li Heng forces existed behind the Mayiyi mutiny, and Li Heng hated Yang Guozhong and even the whole Young family, so Yang Guozhong had to be removed.

Tang poets at the turn of prosperity and troubled times

The Anshi Rebellion changed the lives of many people, not only those politicians inside and outside the court, but also the cultural elites of the empire. The experiences of Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Wei, Gao Shi, Wang Changling, Cen Can, etc. at the turn of this prosperous time and troubled times have also left the mark of the times.

li po

As a great poet, before and after the An Shi Rebellion, Li Bai was a person who especially wanted to be an official. However, Li Bai didn’t know that his political talent was quite limited. Li Bai entered the palace and became Li Longji’s literary minister, feeling very proud, but Li Longji knew that Li Bai’s specialty was poetry, and he had no political ability, so Li Bai was not reused. Li Bai was so frustrated that he left Chang ‘an. However, Li Bai’s idea of being an official has never been shattered, so he made a faint move after the Anshi Rebellion-going to Yongwang, which directly put Li Bai in trouble. After Prince Li Heng succeeded to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Li Longji gave another son Yong Wang an imperial edict, asking him to arise and use Yong Wang to balance Li Heng. Many discerning people know that Yongwangqibing is the infighting of the royal family. This thing can’t be touched, and it is very dangerous to touch it. Moreover, Yongwangqibing is really unreasonable. Although it was authorized by Li Longji, the emperor was already in Li Heng at this time, and Li Heng was eager to get rid of Yongwang. Therefore, when Li Bai defected to Yongwang, he was caught in a political whirlpool. Yongwang was soon defeated, and Li Bai became a traitor to the Li Heng court, so he fled all the way. Because of Li Bai’s famous poems, many people interceded for him. Li Bai was not severely punished, but he was sent later. The famous poem "Early Release of Baidicheng" was written by Li Bai after learning that he was pardoned.

li po

Du Fu

Du Fu’s situation is similar to that of Li Bai. Before the Anshi Rebellion, he became a very small official, so embarrassed that he couldn’t even support his family, and his sons starved to death. After the An Shi Rebellion broke out, his poem title was not so big at that time, and he could not compare with Li Bai, let alone Wang Wei. In modern terms, there is no broken circle, and even the rebel An Lushan doesn’t know Du Fu. This can also be said to be Du Fu’s "luck", because he was unknown, he did not become a prisoner. Later, the direction of Du Fu’s escape was very accurate, and he fled to Fengxiang and defected to Li Heng. Li Heng was recruiting at this time, and he was very happy to see someone coming to defect, so he awarded Du Fu a good official position called Zuo Shiyi. So Du Fu is called Du Fu’s Collection in history. This position is the biggest official Du Fu has ever held in his life. But the good times didn’t last long. Du Fu entered the Li Heng court not long after, and the prime minister Fang Guan was dismissed by Li Heng because of his strong color as an old minister of the emperor’s father. At this point, Du Fu stood up and spoke out, and was demoted by Li Heng as an accomplice. Since then, he has been living in exile and has become the Du Fu we are familiar with. Like Li Bai, Du Fu was caught in the whirlpool of royal infighting. Du Fu wrote many poems about An Shi Rebellion after he was demoted. Although nature makes people laugh, it also gives Du Fu inspiration and material for his literary creation.

Du Fu

Wang Wei

Wang Wei’s fate is very strange. He was then the most famous poet in the empire-not Li Bai, not Du Fu. After the fall of Chang ‘an, Wang Wei became a prisoner of An Lushan. Because of Wang Wei’s famous poems, An Lushan didn’t want to kill him, but forced him to surrender and made him a modest immortal. Wang Wei followed suit and became a political vase of the rebels. It didn’t take long for Wang Wei to be a political vase, and fate played a joke on him again. After the rebels occupied Chang ‘an for more than a year, Li Heng regained Chang ‘an, but Wang Wei was not taken away by the rebels and became a prisoner of Li Heng. Li Heng is going to severely punish Wang Wei, but Wang Wei is so famous that many people help him. Moreover, Wang Wei really didn’t do anything bad in An Lushan. In addition, Wang Wei’s younger brother is also an official who is willing to make atonement for his brother by abandoning his official. Therefore, Wang Wei was not greatly affected in the end.

The court and the literary world forgave Wang Wei, but Wang Wei never got out of this guilty mood all his life. Wang Wei has been rethinking in his later years, wondering why he didn’t sacrifice his life for justice and how he became a prisoner. This kind of reflection tormented Wang Wei and made him live in pain all the time.

In this chaos, in the sudden end of the prosperous times, we are familiar with historical figures and those we are not familiar with. They made their own choices in this chaos, and then everyone paid the price for these choices.

Q&A

Q:What do you think of Chen Kaige’s handling of "An Shi Rebellion" in The Legend of the Demon Cat?

A:I think "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is very good, and it is a better work of Chen Kaige in recent years. As a film, we can’t expect too much from it in terms of historical restoration. If we must point out the areas that can be improved in the film, I think the film may be able to jump out of the love narrative of Li Longji and Yang Guifei and make more supplements in other aspects, such as Prince Li Heng, which can actually be brought in, which involves the so-called behind-the-scenes murderer who killed Yang Guifei. Li Heng’s role in killing Yang Guifei was basically not reflected in the film.

Q:What do you think is the role and function of An Lushan’s aide Shi Siming in the Anshi Rebellion?

A:This question is very interesting. Shi Siming was not an important figure at the beginning of the An Shi Rebellion, even he didn’t enter the core. When the Anshi Rebellion broke out, An Lushan gathered a group of people to plot, but Shi Siming was not among them. Therefore, Shi Siming’s role was mainly in the middle and late period of the Anshi Rebellion, when An Lushan sent him to Hebei to stabilize the rear area. At this time, Shi Siming gradually accumulated his own power and rose day by day. If An Lushan dies, Shi Siming will still be loyal and afraid of An Lushan. An Lushan was killed by his own son, and Shi Siming’s fate was similar to that of An Lushan, who was also killed by his own son. Generally speaking, Shi Siming’s position and function were not so obvious at least before the An Shi Rebellion broke out.

Japanese people protest against the G-7 summit in Hiroshima.

  Xinhua News Agency, Hiroshima, Japan, May 14th. Communication: "Don’t be an accomplice in war" — — Japanese people strongly protest that the G-7 summit will be held in Hiroshima.

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Guo Dan Yang Guang

  "Don’t be an accomplice in war" and "Don’t want G7" & hellip; … On the 14th, more than 200 Japanese people held various slogans and held a rally at the atomic bombing site of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, strongly protesting that the Group of Seven (G7) summit will be held in Hiroshima.

  On May 14th, in front of the atomic bombing site in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Japan, the Japanese people held slogans such as "No War, No Nuclear Weapons, No G7" and strongly protested that the Group of Seven (G7) Summit would be held in Hiroshima. Xinhua News Agency reporter Yang Guangshe

  At the rally, Ichiro Tang, a representative of the Japanese citizen group "Peace Warehouse", said in his speech: "While Japan said that it would send a peaceful message of abolishing nuclear weapons to the world through this summit, it also sought to achieve it by relying on nuclear weapons ‘ National security’, which is self-contradictory! "

  Akiyama, who attended the rally, told reporters that Japan’s use of Hiroshima, which was bombed by atomic bombs, to hold the G7 summit completely violated the good wishes of Hiroshima people to pray for peace.

  On May 14th, on the streets of Hiroshima, Japan, Japanese people held slogans such as "No War, No Nuclear Weapons, No G7" and strongly protested that the Group of Seven (G7) Summit would be held in Hiroshima. Xinhua News Agency reporter Yang Guangshe

  Hiroshima citizen Nishioka Yukio’s family experienced atomic bombing. It is precisely because he has been exposed to the pain of war since he was a child that he has a profound and sober understanding of Japan’s aggressive war and its responsibility. Yukio Nishioka appealed at the rally: "Don’t use Hiroshima, which was bombed by atomic bombs, by political means, and the world should return to the track of peace. It is the peaceful wish of all Hiroshima people to admit that Japan has done war harm to other countries and apologize and compensate, learn from the lessons of war and prevent the recurrence of tragedies. "

  Just a few tens of meters away from the meeting place, a small group of right-wing activists kept preaching with horns that "Japan should have nuclear weapons."

  In this regard, Hiroshima citizen Miyahara Liang sneered. He told reporters: "These people have completely ignored history. Hiroshima was bombed by an atomic bomb because Hiroshima was once ‘ Jundu ’ . If Japan does not stop expanding its military and preparing for war, or even seek to possess nuclear weapons, it will only let Japan fall into a vicious circle of war. "

  On May 14th, in front of the atomic bombing site in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Japan, the Japanese people held various slogans and strongly protested that the Group of Seven (G7) summit would be held in Hiroshima. Xinhua News Agency reporter Yang Guangshe

  Miyahara Ryo also said that the G7 Hiroshima Summit will be a meeting to further escalate the Ukrainian crisis. NATO has provided military support to Ukraine, and Japan also intends to provide financial or military support to Ukraine. "This can’t end the war, and it is impossible to achieve peace. It can only make the world fall into a more tragic situation."

  "Don’t be an accomplice in war" and "Don’t want G7" & hellip; … After the speech, the protesters marched in the streets with slogans, and their high slogans completely covered the horns of right-wingers.

Interpretation of xiong’an new area Residence Permit Implementation Method and Points Settlement Method

  Xinhua News Agency, Shijiazhuang, January 2 nd: Opening the door to the talents engine to empower the "city of the future" — — Interpretation of xiong’an new area Residence Permit Implementation Method and Points Settlement Method

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Cao Guochang and Gao Bo

  The xiong’an new area Municipal Management Committee recently officially issued the Implementation Measures for Residence Permit in xiong’an new area, Hebei Province (Trial) and the Measures for Settlement of Points in xiong’an new area, Hebei Province (Trial) (hereinafter referred to as the "two measures"). Since 2021, the residence permit and point settlement system have been tried out in xiong’an new area, which indicates that xiong’an new area has taken a solid step in deepening the reform of population management service system.

  Both effective management and "high gold content"

  The residence permit represents the acceptance and tolerance of the city to the foreign population. Holders of residence permits can enjoy basic public services such as local education, medical care, social security and accreditation, which fully reflects the fairness and inclusiveness of social construction.

  What is the gold content of xiong’an new area residence permit? According to the measures for the implementation of residence permit in xiong’an new area, residence permit holders enjoy six basic services: compulsory education, basic public employment services, basic public health services and family planning services, public cultural and sports services, legal aid and other legal services, and other basic public services stipulated by the state and xiong’an new area. Enjoy seven conveniences: handling entry and exit documents in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state, renewing and replacing resident identity cards in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state, motor vehicle registration, applying for a motor vehicle driver’s license, signing up for vocational qualification examinations and applying for granting professional qualifications, handling birth service registration and other family planning certification materials, and other conveniences stipulated by the state and xiong’an new area.

  Holding a residence permit in xiong’an new area can meet the basic needs of individuals to work and live in this city. It can be said that a "certificate" is in hand, and all the guarantees are available.

  Anyone who has lived in xiong’an new area for more than half a year and has one of the conditions of legally stable employment, legally stable residence and continuous study can apply for a residence permit. What needs special explanation is that those who belong to Beijing’s non-capital function to relieve the transferred population are not restricted by the above conditions and can apply directly.

  In addition, xiong’an new area implements the management system of residence permit points. When the holder’s residence permit score reaches the specified score, he can enjoy the corresponding public services such as housing security, old-age care, preschool education, and the corresponding convenience and welfare benefits. Those who meet the conditions for xiong’an new area points to settle down may apply to settle down in xiong’an new area.

  The relevant person in charge of the xiong’an new area Management Committee said that the residence permit system and the points settlement system in xiong’an new area are to open the door to all kinds of talents needed during the large-scale development and construction of the new district to the greatest extent, so that they can "come, stay and develop well" and lay a solid talent foundation for the construction and development of the new district.

  Experts believe that the vitality of the city depends on builders from all directions. xiong’an new area is now entering the stage of large-scale construction and industrial introduction, and implementing the residence permit system, so that the floating population can enhance their sense of belonging and identity with the local area, and the service management of the floating population can become a reality, which is exactly what Xiong ‘an needs to open its arms to attract talents from all walks of life.

  Give priority to ensuring the function of Beijing’s non-capital and resolving population transfer

  The Guiding Opinions on Supporting the Comprehensive Deepening of Reform and Opening-up in xiong’an new area, Hebei Province issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council pointed out that xiong’an new area should formulate a population transfer policy that is conducive to the relief of Beijing’s non-capital functions, establish a public service provision mechanism with residence permit as the carrier, and implement a point settlement system.

  Compared with the points settlement and residence permit system in other cities in China, the "two measures" issued by xiong’an new area this time fully consider the gradual promotion of Beijing’s non-capital function to ease the transfer of population to xiong’an new area.

  The relevant person in charge of the xiong’an new area Management Committee said that according to the relevant national policies and regulations on the reform and innovation of xiong’an new area’s household registration and population management system and the need to undertake the work of Beijing’s non-capital function relief, the "two measures" gave priority to the policy of Beijing’s non-capital function relief and transfer of population points and residence permits. The dual-track parallel mechanism of points settlement and talents settlement for Beijing’s non-capital functional relief transfer population is conducive to promoting the gathering of non-capital functional relief transfer population in xiong’an new area.

  There is a separate chapter in the settlement method of xiong’an new area points, which clearly explains the situation of settlement points of Beijing’s non-capital function to ease the transfer population. Beijing household registration personnel of organs, organizations, enterprises and institutions that xiong’an new area undertakes to relieve and transfer Beijing’s non-capital functions, and their spouses and minor children who live together can apply to settle in xiong’an new area. If the non-Beijing household registration personnel of the organs, organizations, enterprises and institutions that the new district undertakes to relieve and transfer Beijing’s non-capital functions meet the standards for the identification of talents in Beijing, xiong’an new area, I and my spouse and minor children who live together may also apply to settle in xiong’an new area. Other non-Beijing household registration personnel of organs, organizations, enterprises and institutions that undertake the relief and transfer of Beijing’s non-capital functions in the new district may apply for settlement of points in accordance with the provisions of the Measures.

  Leave enough "flexible space" for talents needed for urban development

  In order to attract talents from all walks of life to take root in Xiong ‘an for innovation and entrepreneurship, orderly undertake the function relief of Beijing’s non-capital, reasonably control the population size and continuously optimize the population structure, non-local household registration personnel can apply for settlement in xiong’an new area in various ways.

  According to the settlement method of xiong’an new area points, the settlement plan of points is not set, and will be adjusted according to the year, which is more flexible and possible. Xiong’an new area will implement the central government’s overall arrangement for the planning and construction of the new district and the pace of social and economic development, implement the requirements of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, combine the actual situation of the support capacity such as infrastructure and public service level, and comprehensively consider the population size and structure of the new district to formulate the annual plan for the settlement of points. For industries and talents that meet the requirements of Beijing’s non-capital function relief and xiong’an new area’s special needs, a "special channel" for population management services will be opened.

  The implementation of the "two measures" will be tried out. In the future, the settlement conditions, integral indicators, work procedures, certificate management and other aspects will be adjusted in combination with the actual construction and development of xiong’an new area, the changes in the specific demand for talents in the new district and the improvement of the conditions for handling public services in the new district, so that the household registration and population service management system can better meet the needs of high-quality construction and development in xiong’an new area.

  It should be pointed out that the settlement of xiong’an new area points is a new settlement channel, which is implemented in parallel with other existing channels.

How to make good use of the legacy of Beijing Winter Olympics written by you, me and him in the government work report of the two sessions?

  This year’s government work report mentioned that "after careful preparation, we successfully held a simple, safe and wonderful Beijing Winter Olympics, and we will certainly be able to run the newly opened Winter Paralympics". At the same time, the report puts forward that "the legacy of Beijing Winter Olympics should be used well". So what is the Olympic legacy?

  According to the definition given by the International Olympic Committee, the Olympic legacy is the result of realizing the Olympic vision, including all tangible and intangible long-term benefits created or accelerated by hosting the Olympic Games for the public, urban and regional development and the Olympic movement. On the eve of the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Winter Olympics released the Heritage Report Collection of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games (2022), which covers seven aspects, including sports, economy, society, culture, environment, urban and regional development. During the Beijing Winter Olympics, 44 typical heritage cases in these seven aspects were also published, summarizing the highlights of the popularization and development of ice and snow sports, winter Olympic venues, scientific and technological innovation, urban renewal, regional cooperation, volunteer service and many other aspects.

  What are the highlights of Beijing’s Winter Olympics legacy? What does it have to do with ordinary people?

  Member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Lian YumingThe Beijing Winter Olympics has left a rich Olympic legacy for China. My personal summary is that the six legacies of the Olympic Games light up the city of the Olympic Games, including sports events, competitive level, venues and facilities, talent teams, etc., which is the most direct legacy of the Winter Olympics. Through the Olympic Games as a world stage, more Chinese has realized the importance of ice and snow sports to public health and leisure industry, and more Chinese has realized through the Winter Olympics that it is a happy and healthy popular sport to participate in ice and snow sports. I think this has taken a new step to popularize the ice and snow industry, especially for healthy China and a sports power.

  Professor Sun Baoli of Beijing Sport University"Olympic legacy" is the tangible and intangible long-term benefits brought by hosting the Olympic Games to people, cities or regions and the Olympic movement. In the "post-Olympic" period, further improving the level of public services and solving the people’s livelihood problems with the help of the Beijing Winter Olympics legacy is the main way to bring benefits and gain to the people, and it is also an important embodiment of the direct connection between the Beijing Winter Olympics legacy and ordinary people. The venues and facilities of the Winter Olympics are the tangible heritage of the Beijing Winter Olympics. After the games, they can provide the people with a national fitness venue continuously, so that more people can participate in the ice and snow sports, thus promoting the popularization and development of ice and snow sports in China, and further improving the sports public service level of the city. The intangible heritage of Beijing Winter Olympics also includes the cultural value of the Olympic movement and the collective memory of the public for the Winter Olympics. For example, the Beijing Winter Olympics embodies the common aspiration and pursuit of all mankind for peace and unity, advocates the concept of "community of human destiny", and shows the image of China and the spirit of China.

  How to use the Beijing Winter Olympic Stadium with the most beautiful Chinese style after the game?

  Sports heritage can be said to be one of the most direct and important heritages of Beijing Winter Olympics. Among them, the beautiful Winter Olympics venues and their nicknames full of Chinese romance left a deep impression on everyone. "Snow Youlong" dances with "Ice Ribbon" and "Snow Ruyi" holds hands with "Ice Yuhuan". These winter Olympic venues not only show the concept of "green, shared, open and clean", but also spread the elegant and romantic beauty of China to the world through the Winter Olympics.

  Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference member Shen JinTake the national ski jumping center "Xueruyi" as an example, we have considered the post-competition utilization of the venue from the beginning of design. Besides competitions, we have done many other functions, such as the "Snow Ruyi" Summit Club, which is about 3,000 square meters of open space without columns. It can be used for forums, exhibitions and even catering. "Snow Flying" is also the platform of Shougang. The site selection combined with the transformation of industrial remains has built a sports theme park to directly serve the ice and snow sports. At the same time, it promoted the green transformation and upgrading of Shougang.

  In addition to what Shen Jin mentioned, the "water cube" of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games turned into an "ice cube" in the Winter Olympics is a typical case of recycling after the games.

  As a "Double Olympics" venue, the "Ice Cube" is the largest curling venue in the history of the Winter Olympics, and it is also the only "Double Olympics" venue in the world to set up a curling track on the swimming pool. After the Winter Olympics, the National Aquatics Center will become a comprehensive platform for ice events, mass ice fitness and curling promotion. According to reports, in the future, the venues will be freely converted between water and ice, starting as an ice rink in November each year and returning to a swimming pool around April the following year, which reflects the high-quality development of architecture and technology and keeps the "Double Olympics" heritage shining.

  In addition to the Winter Olympics venues, Tu Xiaodong, director of the Propaganda Department of the State Sports General Administration, said that driving 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports is the most important legacy of the Beijing Winter Olympics. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, from the successful bid for the Beijing Winter Olympics to October 2021, the number of people who participated in ice and snow sports in China reached 346 million, and the participation rate of ice and snow sports was 24.56%. Snow and ice are in full bloom in China.

Henan Yucheng suffered a "tornado"? Expert: It is more accurate to say that the dust wind.

  CCTV News:According to China Weather Network News, it is reported that on the afternoon of March 31, 2019, a "tornado" struck the 10,000-acre pear garden in Tianmiao Township, Yucheng County, which caused a trampoline to fall, causing 18 children to be injured to varying degrees. According to experts’ analysis, the weather system that overturns the trampoline is not a "tornado", and it is more accurate to call it a dust storm.

  According to the propaganda department of Yucheng County Committee, at 15 o’clock on the afternoon of March 31, 2019, the Wanmu Pear Garden in Tianmiao Township, Yucheng County was suddenly hit by a tornado, which caused a trampoline on the scene to fall, causing 18 children on the scene to be injured to varying degrees. After the incident, the main leaders of Yucheng County Party Committee and government attached great importance to it, immediately launched the emergency plan, arranged the health planning department to treat it quickly at all costs, and the relevant county leaders led the relevant personnel of the Public Security Bureau, Health and Health Commission, Emergency Management Bureau, Tianmiao Township and other units to rush to the scene to organize rescue, verify the injuries of the masses, and do a good job in the aftermath.

  Judging from the live video, it is more accurate to call the weather system a dust storm when it blows down. The incident occurred in the inland area. From the video given, it was clear at that time, and there were no cumulonimbus clouds in the sky, and the occurrence range was very small. It should be more accurate to call it dust storm. Dust storm refers to a small-scale cyclone generated in the near-surface gas layer by local strong warming, which can lift dust and some small objects into the air to form a small dust column with a diameter of several meters and a duration of only a few minutes. "Dust storm" generally appears on land, mostly in grassland, desert and other places, and its scope is usually small and its destructive power is limited. Such a strong dust storm is extremely rare.

Eighteen children were injured by a tornado in Yucheng, Henan Province, saying that the dust storm is more accurate.

  What’s the difference between a dust storm and a tornado? Although dust storms and tornadoes belong to small-scale strong cyclones, their conditions and ranges are different. Tornadoes generally appear when there are cumulonimbus clouds in the sky, accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds, etc., with a large diameter and lasting for more than ten minutes to several hours; Dust storms generally appear on land. When they appear, the sky is clear, and the diameter is only a few meters, which lasts for a few minutes or so.

  There have been dust storms in other parts of China. At about 4: 25pm on April 20th, 2016, a "tornado" occurred in the plastic sports ground in Guazhou County, Gansu Province, with strong wind. Li Jiaqi, a student in Class 3 (1) of Yuanquan Primary School who was having a sports meeting, was rolled up and then left behind. After 120 emergency medical diagnosis, Li Jiaqi was slightly injured in the back of the head, which was not serious.

Eighteen children were injured by a tornado in Yucheng, Henan Province, saying that the dust storm is more accurate.

Grasping the main line of building a strong sense of the Chinese nation’s community (thoroughly studying and implementing Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the Ne

  synopsis

  Based on the historical orientation of the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core made overall plans and promoted ethnic work, scientifically answered major questions such as what flag to raise and what road to take in ethnic work in the new era, and formed the important thought of General Secretary of the Supreme Leader on strengthening and improving ethnic work. This important thought is the latest summary of the Party’s ethnic work practice, the latest achievement of the China-ization of Marxist ethnic theory, and the fundamental follow-up to do a good job in ethnic work in the new era.

  When attending the deliberation of the Inner Mongolia delegation at the Fifth Session of the 13th National People’s Congress, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "We should firmly grasp the main line of building a sense of community of the Chinese nation, deepen the education of national unity and progress, guide the people of all ethnic groups to firmly establish the community concept of sharing weal and woe, sharing weal and woe, sharing destiny and sharing weal and woe, continuously consolidate the ideological foundation of the Chinese nation community, and promote all ethnic groups to hold together like pomegranate seeds in the Chinese nation family." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has thoroughly summarized the course and achievements of our party’s national work, scientifically answered major questions such as what flag to raise and what road to take in the national work in the new era, emphasized the great concepts of the Chinese nation family, the Chinese nation community, and the awareness of the Chinese nation community, and promoted the theoretical and practical innovation of the party’s national work in the new era. The Central Conference on Ethnic Work held in 2021 summarized and put forward the important thoughts of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on strengthening and improving ethnic work. We should deeply understand the core essence, spiritual essence, rich connotation and practical requirements of this important thought and promote the high-quality development of the party’s ethnic work in the new era.

  The party’s ethnic theory and policies have been continuously enriched and developed.

  Our party can lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country to make great achievements and progress in the field of ethnic work. The most fundamental thing is to creatively combine Marxist ethnic theory with the specific reality of China’s ethnic problems and embark on a correct road to solve ethnic problems with China characteristics.

  Since its founding, our party has been actively exploring ways to solve ethnic problems that are suitable for China’s national conditions. During the new-democratic revolution, our party combined the solution of ethnic problems in China with the general task of the China Revolution, led the people of all ethnic groups to overthrow the "three mountains" and won national independence and people’s liberation. New China regards ethnic equality as one of the fundamental principles for the founding of the country. After the founding of New China, the Party led the people to complete the democratic reform and socialist transformation, achieved a historic leap in the social development of all ethnic groups, and promoted the great unity of all ethnic groups. In this historical process, our party has solved the problem of how the Chinese nation can get rid of oppression, realize national liberation, then step into socialism and establish a new type of ethnic relations, established the system of regional ethnic autonomy, and established the basic framework of the party’s ethnic theory and policy.

  Entering the new era of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, our party has strengthened and improved ethnic work. Comrade Deng Xiaoping put forward: "After democratic reform and socialist transformation, all the fraternal nationalities in China have already embarked on the socialist road one after another, forming a new type of socialist ethnic relations of unity, friendship, mutual assistance and cooperation", and the system of regional ethnic autonomy is "relatively good, suitable for the situation in China", "observing ethnic minority areas mainly depends on whether they can develop" and "our policy of helping ethnic minority areas develop is unshakable", which greatly enriched the content of the party’s ethnic theory and ethnic policy. After the 1990s, faced with the new situation in the ethnic field at home and abroad, our party held two central ethnic work conferences. While summing up the experience of ethnic work and putting forward the main tasks in the emerging stage, it further scientifically answered what ethnic problems are and how to solve the ethnic problems in China at this stage, and made a series of major strategic decisions to accelerate the development of ethnic areas in a timely manner, such as the large-scale development of the western region, and the party’s ethnic theory and policies were expanded. In 2005, our party held a central conference on ethnic work, which answered the question of how to treat and deal with ethnic issues under the new situation and promote the common unity, struggle, prosperity and development of all ethnic groups, and the party’s ethnic theory and policies were more perfect.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has made a series of major decisions and arrangements on ethnic work, and promoted new historical achievements in China’s national unity and progress. The Central Conference on Ethnic Work held in 2014 emphasized that to do a good job in ethnic work, we should unswervingly follow the correct path of solving ethnic problems with China characteristics, blaze new trails, proceed from reality, be careful in top-level design, make overall policy plans in place, and be prudent in work deployment, so that people of all ethnic groups can enhance their identification with the great motherland, the Chinese nation, Chinese culture and Socialism with Chinese characteristics road. At the Central Conference on Ethnic Work held in 2021, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader comprehensively expounded our party’s important thoughts on strengthening and improving ethnic work, which were summarized into 12 aspects: we must grasp the historical position of the party’s ethnic work in the new era from the height of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation; We must take promoting the common struggle of all ethnic groups for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way as an important task of the party’s ethnic work in the new era; It is necessary to build a strong sense of the Chinese national community as the main line of the party’s ethnic work in the new era; We must adhere to the correct view of history of the Chinese nation; We must insist that all ethnic groups are equal; We must hold high the banner of great unity of the Chinese nation; We must uphold and improve the system of regional ethnic autonomy; We must build a common spiritual home for the Chinese nation; We must promote extensive exchanges and exchanges between all ethnic groups; We must persist in administering ethnic affairs according to law; We must resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests; We must uphold the party’s leadership over ethnic work.General Secretary Supreme Leader’s important thought on strengthening and improving ethnic work is the latest achievement of China-ization of Marxist ethnic theory and the wisdom crystallization of the Party’s ethnic work theory and practice.

  Deeply grasp the fundamental follow-up of doing a good job in ethnic work in the new era

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader’s important thought on strengthening and improving ethnic work is ambitious, rich in connotation and profound in thought. It is an important part of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, which marks that our party’s understanding of ethnic issues and its grasp and application of ethnic work laws have reached a new height, providing an action guide and fundamental follow-up for doing well the party’s ethnic work in the new era.

  Based on the historical orientation of the new era, plan and promote ethnic work as a whole. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "We must grasp the historical position of the Party’s ethnic work in the new era from the height of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation, take the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as the starting point and the foothold, and make overall plans and promote the Party’s ethnic work in the new era." Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, which is a new historical orientation of China’s development and ethnic work. People of all ethnic groups in China should continue to win the great victory of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation under the new historical conditions. Through unremitting efforts, ethnic areas and the whole country have built a well-off society in an all-round way, and we have achieved the goal of the first century of struggle, and the cohesion and centripetal force of the people of all ethnic groups have been greatly enhanced. However, the journey to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will not be smooth sailing, and we still face more arduous tasks and more complex challenges. Ethnic work in the new era must conform to the characteristics of the times, respond to the requirements of the times, better serve the overall development of the cause of the party and the state, unite the wisdom and strength of people of all ethnic groups to the maximum extent, and work with one heart and one mind to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  Regard building the consciousness of the Chinese nation community as the main line of the party’s ethnic work. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has made it the main line of the party’s national work to build a strong sense of the Chinese national community. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "It is the party’s national work in the new era to build a strong sense of the Chinese nation community ‘ Outline ’ All work should focus on this. " To build a strong sense of the Chinese nation’s community is to guide the people of all ethnic groups to firmly establish the community concept of sharing weal and woe, sharing weal and woe, and sharing destiny. It is an inevitable requirement to maintain the fundamental interests of all ethnic groups, realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, consolidate and develop harmonious socialist ethnic relations of equality, unity, mutual assistance, and create a new situation in the party’s ethnic work. It must run through all fields and the whole process of ethnic work, build a stronger ideological Great Wall for safeguarding national unity and national unity, and promote the Chinese nation to become a community of destiny with higher recognition and cohesion.

  In the face of the world’s unprecedented great changes and realistic ethnic problems, we should seek countermeasures. Today, the world is experiencing a great change that has never happened in a hundred years, and it has entered a new period of turbulent change. The factors affecting the exchanges and exchanges between ethnic groups are still complex and diverse, and the ideological struggle in the ethnic field is still sharp and complicated. The risk of international forces interfering with and undermining China’s national unity cannot be underestimated. With the opening of the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, ethnic minorities and ethnic areas have ushered in new development opportunities, but the problem of insufficient imbalance in the development of ethnic areas is still relatively prominent, which brings challenges to China’s national unity, national unity and social stability. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "All reforms and developments should be endowed with the significance of highlighting the sense of the Chinese nation’s community, with the significance of maintaining unity and opposing separatism, with the significance of improving people’s livelihood and rallying people’s hearts, so as to make the Chinese nation’s community unbreakable." General Secretary Supreme Leader’s important thought on strengthening and improving ethnic work, grasping realistic problems in ethnic field with broad vision and strong problem consciousness, has strong practical pertinence and guidance, and points out the correct direction and path for us to effectively deal with possible risks and challenges in ethnic field.

  Come down in one continuous line and keep pace with the times to promote the innovative development of the party’s ethnic theory and ethnic policy. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader not only summarized our Party’s important thoughts on strengthening and improving ethnic work in 12 aspects, but also made a series of major innovative expositions. For example, the connotation and significance of Chinese national community consciousness should be firmly established, and the relationship between commonality and difference, the relationship between Chinese national community consciousness and national consciousness, the relationship between Chinese culture and national culture, and the relationship between material and spirit should be correctly grasped. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader’s important thought on strengthening and improving ethnic work adheres to the China orientation of Marxist ethnic theory, inherits the party’s ethnic theory and policies, grasps the historical position and important mission of ethnic work at this stage from the party’s century-long struggle, faces the new era, answers new questions, puts forward new ideas, and insists on developing in inheritance and innovating in development. In the new era, adhering to the correct path of solving ethnic problems with China characteristics, we must carry out the important thoughts of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on strengthening and improving ethnic work to the letter in all aspects of ethnic fields and in all aspects of ethnic work, build a strong sense of the Chinese nation’s community, and gather great strength for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Five insurances and one gold are "slimming", will social security benefits be affected?


  What is "five insurances and one gold"

  "Five insurances and one fund" refers to: endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, industrial injury insurance, maternity insurance and housing accumulation fund.



 


  (Note: The payment standards of "five insurances and one gold" in different places are not completely consistent)

  How thin is "five insurances and one gold"?

  On December 20th, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security announced that the 25th meeting of the 12th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), which opened a few days ago, reviewed the Decision (Draft) on authorizing the State Council to temporarily adjust and implement the relevant provisions of the Social Insurance Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) in the administrative areas of 12 pilot cities where maternity insurance and basic medical insurance were combined (hereinafter referred to as the Draft).

  According to the Legal Evening News, on the morning of December 19th, entrusted by the State Council, Minister Yin Weimin of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security explained the Draft. The draft stipulates that 12 places, such as Handan and Neijiang, will be used as pilots to temporarily incorporate maternity insurance funds into the collection and management of employees’ basic medical insurance funds.

  Simply put, it is

  Maternity insurance and basic medical insurance

  This "two risks" have merged.

  After the merger of the two insurances, the future will be four insurances and one gold.

  People who participate in medical insurance can enjoy the treatment of maternity insurance.

  12 pilot cities

  Handan City in Hebei Province, Jinzhong City in Shanxi Province, Shenyang City in Liaoning Province, Taizhou City in Jiangsu Province, Hefei City in Anhui Province, Weihai City in Shandong Province, Zhengzhou City in Henan Province, Yueyang City in Hunan Province, Zhuhai City in Guangdong Province, Chongqing City, Neijiang City in Sichuan Province and Kunming City in Yunnan Province.

  Implementation time

  The pilot scheme is arranged by the State Council, and the implementation period is two years.

  Why should we merge?

  Yin Weimin, Minister of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said that maternity insurance and basic medical insurance have something in common in medical services, especially in the payment of medical benefits, and the management services are basically the same. They implement a unified management system for designated medical institutions, unify the scope of medicines, diagnosis and treatment items and service facilities, and use the same information system platform.

  Combining the two insurances meets the requirements of integrated operation of social insurance, which is conducive to improving the mutual assistance ability of social insurance funds, better enhancing the guarantee function of maternity insurance, improving the management efficiency of administrative and handling services, and reducing operating costs. It is a reform attempt to promote the establishment of a fairer and more sustainable social security system.

  The salary you get has not changed much.

  According to the Notice on Decreasing Social Insurance Rates in Phases previously issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Finance, the implementation of the merger of maternity insurance and basic medical insurance will be clarified, and will be organized and implemented uniformly after the relevant regulations are formulated and promulgated in the State Council.

  Among them, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance are entirely borne by enterprises, and individuals do not need to pay. Therefore, after the merger of maternity insurance and medical insurance, the total cost of personal deposit will not change, and the salary you get will naturally not change.

  What are the benefits to us after the merger of the two insurances?

  Personal aspect

  First of all, the reimbursement process will be more simplified. In the past, medical and maternity reimbursement was not a system, and the hospitalization production expenses of female employees were generally settled by social security funds in real time, but the prenatal examination expenses needed to be reimbursed and settled separately after production. After the merger of the two, the prenatal examination expenses should be reimbursed together with the general medical expenses, usually once a year.

  Second, the maternity check-up, delivery and related expenses can be reimbursed according to the medical insurance standard, which is higher than the current reimbursement amount according to maternity insurance.

  Third, because maternity insurance is paid by the employer, for migrant workers, migrants and other people who can’t buy maternity insurance personally, as long as you buy medical insurance, you can also reimburse certain maternity expenses through social security.

  On the part of employers

  Every month, enterprises don’t have to pay maternity insurance, which reduces the social security premium paid by enterprises, and more funds will be invested in business activities, and the income will increase accordingly. It can be seen that this is another initiative of the state to encourage the development of enterprises. With more profits, their work will be more stable, and maybe the year-end award will increase.
