You can make money by playing a game? Men’s network "fish farming" more than 60 thousand yuan wasted

  You can easily make money by playing a game? A few months ago, introduced by a friend, Mr. Wu played a fish-raising game called "Ocean Star": buying virtual fry on the platform, and then buying "fish feed" for feeding, with a 12-day cycle. After the fish is raised, it is sold to the platform, and the income can be obtained. Develop offline and recharge the platform to buy fry, and you can get up to 3% income when you go online.

  After earning more than 1,500 yuan, Mr. Wu increased his investment. Unexpectedly, after spending another 60,000 yuan to buy fry, he was shocked that he was "raised fish" — — The platform issued a "maintenance announcement" and the money could no longer be raised.

  The lawyer reminded that this fish-raising game is suspected of illegal fund-raising and pyramid schemes, and the public must be vigilant and rational.

  More than 60,000 yuan of "fish fry" hit Shui Piao

  “‘ Ocean star ’ The game was recommended by a friend, saying that the platform is an innovative fishery breeding brand promotion service provider, and it receives rewards by completing tasks such as breeding, promotion, attention, consumption and advertisement viewing on the platform. " Mr. Wu said that in the game, players buy virtual fry in the platform, and then they have to buy fish feed for 12 days. After the fish is raised and sold to the platform, they can get benefits.

  The prices of these virtual fry range from 9.8 yuan to 498 yuan. On this platform, which was launched in April, friends gained a lot of benefits. Mr. Wu was moved: "Just play for a cycle and make a fortune." On May 2, Mr. Wu downloaded and registered the game platform with a friend’s recommendation code, recharged more than 16,000 yuan, bought 33 fish with 498 yuan each, and sold them successfully 12 days later, earning more than 1,500 yuan.

  Since then, Mr. Wu has played more and more, earning nearly 10,000 yuan in the fourth cycle, and he once again invested more than 60,000 yuan to buy fry. "I thought this was the last time, so I raised the principal after I finished. As a result, the platform was released on June 28th ‘ Maintenance bulletin ’ Notice that the money can’t be raised. "

  Suspected pyramid scheme victims are all over the country.

  Mr. Wu pulled the reporter into a group of victims named "Ocean Star", with 61 people from all over the country.

  A netizen named "Sister Hong" told the reporter that after a friend’s introduction, he raised a fish and invested more than 10,000 yuan. He also took a girlfriend to register with his own invitation code and invested 5,000 yuan. Now it is gone. According to the reporter’s observation, the victims in the group are basically recommended by friends and relatives to join, and then develop friends and relatives around them to join.

  On August 29th, Mr. Wu, who broke the news, showed the reporter the game platform of "Ocean Star". When you enter the home page of the platform, you can see options such as "Announcement", "Shopping Mall" and "Raiders", but after clicking these options, it shows that the next operation cannot be carried out. Looking at the 62,178 ocean stars in the "My" column, he said, "This is the principal I transferred in. One star represents one dollar, and now it’s all gone."

  In the introduction, the rules of the game are introduced in the option of "about recruiting fishermen". Each platform member can invite others to join the game by sharing the automatically generated personal QR code and verification code, and can get the benefits of sharing, that is to say, if you recharge in the platform to buy fry, you can get a maximum of 3% on the line. The reporter found that the game could not be found in major mobile app stores. Mr. Wu said that it was downloaded from a link directly given by a friend.

  Withdrawals are all transferred by a company in Chengdu.

  Generally speaking, every mobile APP platform will indicate the name of the developer, but in the "Ocean Star" game platform, the reporter did not find it, and even the platform did not even have customer service contact information.

  Among the victims of "Ocean Star", the reporter saw several promotional videos of the project. In the promo, an Australian group made a strong landing in the China market and launched the "Ocean Star" project, saying that the project is a brand-new farming model, which has brought a platform with shorter cycle, higher income and lower threshold to ordinary investors. By implanting the fishery farming project into the game, anyone can make a profit with a simple operation with a smart phone. It is also said that the project is to be an offline trading platform, and ultimately it needs the number of players, not the money of players, and hopes that players will develop more offline.

  The reporter searched an Australian group on the Internet, which is the largest prawn breeder in Australia, but there is little relevant information, let alone the relevant content of the "Ocean Star" project.

  Subsequently, the reporter learned from Mr. Wu and other victims that all the cash from the game was transferred from "Chengdu Times Aoxiang Information Technology Co., Ltd.". From the national enterprise credit information publicity system, the company’s business scope is: information system integration services; Information technology research, technology transfer, technical consultation and technical services; Sell electronic products.

  "After the accident, we alerted the company’s location, but the local police replied that there is no relevant evidence to prove that the company is illegal, and we need to go to Chengdu to submit evidence to the police." Mr. Wu expressed his helplessness. The reporter has repeatedly tried to contact the company, but it has been unsuccessful.

  Lawyer: Suspected of illegal fund-raising and pyramid selling.

  Qiu Hua, the chief lawyer of Hubei Gaoye Law Firm, said that borrowing the game shell to attract users through high-return gimmicks, old users develop new users to give income, and then use the money of new users to pay interest and short-term returns to old users, which is suspected of illegal fund-raising.

  Article 7 of the Regulations on Prohibiting MLM, Order No.444 of the State Council, stipulates that the following acts belong to pyramid schemes: the organizer or operator, through developing personnel, asks the developed personnel to develop other personnel to join, and calculates and pays remuneration (including material rewards and other economic benefits) to the developed personnel on the basis of the number of personnel directly or indirectly developing. In the case, the platform operation process is also suspected of pyramid schemes.

  He said that citizens who encounter this scam should report to the public security organs, register the amount of losses, make notes, submit contracts and make payment records. (Reporter Fei Quan)

There are five cold air processes in December! Is it cold this winter?

  Beijing, Dec. 5 (Lang Lang) Will this winter be cold? Since the weather turned cold, netizens have been asking such questions.

  In November, a cold air process affecting the whole country brought continuous rain to the south and freezing rain and snow to the north, which made the winter chill more and more prominent. The friends in the south are frequently on the hot search because they buy explosive heating equipment.

  So, how cold will it be this winter? Is it the legendary cold winter on the Internet?

  La Nina will make it colder this winter?

  If according to the report of the World Meteorological Organization, 2020 will be one of the warmest years on record, then La Nina event can be regarded as a temporary "brake" for warming.

  "By this winter, according to the current business monitoring indicators, a La Nina event can be formed. Our initial judgment is a weak to moderate intensity La Nina event. " Jia Xiaolong, deputy director of the National Climate Center, said.

  The so-called "La Nina" phenomenon refers to the phenomenon that the sea surface temperature in the eastern and central equatorial Pacific Ocean continues to be abnormally cold, which is the reverse of El Ni? o phenomenon, also known as "anti-El Ni? o" or "cold event".

  Since August this year, the SST in the Middle East and Pacific Ocean has entered the La Nina state, and this state is still continuing. According to the previous forecast of China Meteorological Bureau, La Nina will reach its peak this winter, and then it will begin to decline.

  At the press conference held by the China Meteorological Bureau on the 4th, Jia Xiaolong said that, on the whole, in the peak winter of most La Ni? a years, the cold air affecting China is more frequent, and this year is also the case; Moreover, this winter’s cold air affects our country in the northwest path, and the overall force is relatively strong.

  Data Map: On December 2, Lanzhou, Gansu Province ushered in snowfall, and citizens took photos in the snow. China News Service reporter Yang Yanmin photo

  The low temperature in the central and eastern regions this winter is close to normal or low.

  Based on the formation of La Nina, many people think that this winter will be colder than normal, and some even say that this winter will be the coldest winter in 60 years.

  For these statements, meteorologists have already refuted and explained them as early as October.

  As far as this winter is concerned, Jia Xiaolong analyzed that in terms of the overall temperature trend in winter, except for the northeast, eastern North China and parts of Tibet, the overall temperature trend in most parts of central and eastern China is close to normal or low, but the temperature fluctuates greatly in winter, with obvious periodic changes and large fluctuations in cold and warm.

  Especially around January next year, the cold air force affecting China will become stronger obviously. There may be strong ice and snow weather in the northern region, so we should pay attention to prevention. Influenced by La Nina, there is little possibility of large-scale and persistent low-temperature rain and snow freezing in the southern region this winter. However, in the eastern part of the southwest and the western part of the south of the Yangtze River, there will still be staged rain and snow weather in winter.

  Although the appearance of La Nina will have a certain impact on the winter temperature, it is still a bit difficult for La Nina to turn this winter into a cold winter on her own.

  Under the background of global warming, the relationship between various climatic factors affecting China is very complicated, and La Nina is only one of the important factors affecting China’s winter climate. Jia Xiaolong analyzed that winter in China is not only affected by tropical oceans, but also cold air comes from high latitudes; The changes of atmospheric circulation in the middle and high latitudes, including the changes of sea ice and snow, will have a clear impact on the circulation system in the middle and high latitudes.

  Therefore, the prediction of winter climate can not simply rely on a certain phenomenon to draw conclusions, but should comprehensively consider their interaction from many aspects.

  There will be five cold air processes affecting China in December.

  In November, many areas experienced the strongest rain and snow since winter. So, what’s the climate like in December? Will there be "the strongest rainy and snowy day"?

  According to the latest forecast of China Meteorological Bureau, in December, the temperature in most parts of central and western China was low, and there were mainly five cold air processes affecting China, which was slightly more than normal.

  Especially in the next 10 days (December 5-14), the temperature in most parts of China will fluctuate, and the average temperature will be lower than normal, and the temperature in central and western Inner Mongolia and Guizhou will be 2~4℃ lower.

  The southern region will also experience "seasonal" cooling this month. On 12th-14th, a strong cold air will affect the whole country from west to east. During this process, there will be a light rain in the south. There will be northerly winds of 4-6 in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and most areas north of it, with the temperature dropping by 4-8℃ and the local temperature dropping by more than 10℃.

"Soft pastel"

Macaroon is always a color that can’t be waved away in spring. It is romantic but warm, just like a macaroon dessert on the brunch table, which warms the heart and stomach. Many brands can find this soft tone this spring and summer.

I like Tod’s lilac suit, Chanel’s pink suit and Jil Sander’s cream yellow design, and my mood is also lit up.

Rick Owens, who has always taken the style of the Dark Friar, seems to want to get out of the darkness of the post-epidemic period and bring pink design into the new series. This season’s pastel color is no longer limited to the gentle image, but is both rigid and flexible with neutral and confident design!

Messi’s next challenge: wait another 6 years and win the Super Golden Globe Award! Real Madrid legend

The Golden Globe Festival was held in Chatelet Opera House. In the grand finale, Beckham stepped onto the stage and handed the Golden Globe Award to Messi personally. Messi, 36, won the eighth Golden Globe Award. For Messi, this is a well-deserved award-after winning the World Cup in 2022 and being crowned the MVP of the World Cup, the suspense of the Golden Globe Award has actually disappeared.

With eight Golden Globes in hand, Messi continued to expand his lead. C Ronaldo, one of the peerless double arrogance, won the Golden Globe Award five times in total. Platini, cruyff and Van Basten all won three prizes. For football players, the golden ball award symbolizes the supreme honor, and getting the golden ball means sealing the king; Messi with eight golden balls is undoubtedly Wang Zhongwang.

In front of Messi, there is nothing to conquer. If you really want to find one, the "Super Golden Globe Award" may be the award that Messi needs to wait for.

Golden Globe Awards

In the history of the Golden Globe Award in French Football, there was once a winner of the "Super Golden Globe Award": Di Stefano. In 1989, French Football wanted to select the best players for the past 30 years. At that time, six people entered the candidate:

Cruyff with three Golden Globes, Platini with three Golden Globes, Di Stefano with two Golden Globes, beckenbauer with two Golden Globes, Kevin Kevin Keegan with two Golden Globes and rummenigge with two Golden Globes.

Super Golden Globe Award

French Football invites readers and Golden Globe winners to select "the best player in 30 years", that is, the super Golden Globe winner. In the end, Real Madrid legend Di Stefano stood out and won the Super Golden Globe Award, with cruyff ranked second and Platini ranked third.

According to the plan of 30-year evaluation, the second Super Golden Globe winner in history should have been selected in 2019. However, due to unknown reasons, the selection of French Football was cancelled. "French Football" has confirmed that the second Super Golden Globe Award will be awarded at the Golden Globe Festival in 2029.

Who will win the Golden Globe Award after 6 years is unpredictable; But Messi won the Super Golden Globe Award, which is no suspense. From 1999 to 2029, Messi must be the first superstar in the world football, and no one can shake his position. In another six years, we can see the 42-year-old Messi win the Super Golden Globe Award-at that time, Messi may have hung up his boots.

A breakthrough sample in the "inner volume" of beauty cosmetics

The beauty track was once an enviable high-speed growth track in the consumer industry, and ran out of many domestic brands such as Polaiya, Betani and Huaxi Bio.

After the listing of Polaiya, the market value rose from the original market value of more than 4 billion yuan to more than 50 billion yuan, which made a myth of making wealth.

This hot phenomenon has changed this year, and the beauty craze of bonus sharing has seen a turning point, and there has been a sharp differentiation between brands.

In the newly disclosed beauty data in August, both the growth rate and the sales are still in double digits, second only to L ‘Oreal and Lancome’s Polaiya, and some domestic brands that were once very popular but disappeared from the list this year.

According to Qingyan Intelligence, in the first half of this year, the net profit of listed companies related to domestic cosmetics companies was 5.834 billion yuan, down 0.5% year-on-year.

Domestic consumers have lost the urge to buy from buy buy, and beauty companies have also calmed down.

Wisdom research rose by 8% after the interim report! Beauty is changing, why is it always the overlord? There is a point mentioned in Polaiya.The upsurge of beauty track has made many head companies earn a lot of money.

However, considering the upper limit of growth, brands need to find new growth drivers.For example, continue the life cycle of successful products and build more brands.

Polaiya is a successful example.

When the core big single product "Shuangkang" and "Ruby" sold well iteratively and the product matrix became more and more mature, Polaiya took another step forward at this time.

Recently, the official announcement launched a higher-end "energy" series, relatedEssential oil, eye cream and face cream have been put on Taobao’s official flagship store.

The market is most concerned about this time.make a priceAlthough buying big and giving small is equivalent to a discount in disguise,The pricing above 400 yuan has almost matched the overseas brands.

Why does Polaiya choose the high-priced direction at this moment?

In fact, since the "Early C Late A" series was broken, the brand impression of Polaiya in consumers’ minds has quietly changed, and it is no longer a cheap "flat replacement" of domestic products, but a "light of domestic products" with high cost performance.

"Early C" double antibody essence and "Late A" ruby essence have been upgraded to the third generation and the second generation respectively. The customer price of 200-300 yuan continues to sell well among young white-collar workers and college students, making Polaiya rank first in domestic skin care brand sales year after year.

If Polaiya’s previous best-selling combination"Early C and Late A"Series, is to use the new concept of anti-aging to quickly break the "mass circle" and seize the biggest skin care products in China.Midmarket, then"energy"The series is that in order to improve the taste and tonality, Polaiya is working with overseas big names.high-end marketA bargaining chip for world war I.

Polaiya, which has a fully stable position in the existing market, needs to break through the "high-end".

"High-end" means the change of the structure of the "energy" series of consumers, no longer limiting young people, but breaking through the "senior skin care people" with more skin care experience.

This kind of consumer groups are relatively less sensitive to price, but they are extremely pursuing product efficacy, user experience, and dignity and satisfaction brought by high-end brands.

But the tonality of this brand cannot be established overnight.

Although Polaiya emphasizes exclusive ingredients in its propaganda and distinguishes itself from other domestic brands, compared with internationally renowned brands, it still lacks the popularity and credibility of core exclusive ingredients.

The key to the long-term dominance of internationally renowned brands in the high-end skin care market lies in their strong R&D strength and profound brand history, which makes "scientific ingredients" synonymous with efficacy, such as Pitera of SK-II, Bosine of L ‘Oreal and Schizoyeast of Estee Lauder.

Estee Lauder’s star product, Little Brown Bottle, has been iterated to the seventh generation, with a long history of 40 years and still selling well.

It is this exclusive patented technology and the accumulation of consumer reputation over the years that gives them irreplaceable competitiveness and makes them dominant in the high-end market.

According to Polaiya in the performance meeting, the quality target of "Energy" series products is the high-end products above 1000 yuan.

The target audience mainly comes from the "degraded consumption" of consumers who usually buy 600-1000 yuan international brand products, and only a small part comes from the consumption upgrade of existing users.

Jianzhi Research selected six high-end and best-selling essence products as a comparison with Polaiya’s "Energy" essence oil.

Just as Polaiya positioned herself, Polaiya is atThe 600-1000 yuan price band has obvious pricing advantages, and the price sensitivity of the mid-to-high-end is higher than that of the ultra-high-end. It is expected that this will be the key segment for the "Energy" series to seize the share.

However, Lancome, Xiulike, helena rubinstein and other ultra-high-end brands above 1000 yuan all use self-developed star ingredients, such as nicotinamide, boson and other recognized top whitening and anti-aging ingredients, which have formed a strong brand premium. This part of market barriers is higher, so it is difficult to be impacted.

(see the self-made map of intellectual research)

Polaiya’s launch of the "Energy" series indicates its determination to keep up with these big-name competing products.

Although the efficacy and brand still need to be tested by the market and time, there is no doubt that this is an important step for domestic beauty products to reach the high-end market.

With the rapid growth in recent years, head beauty companies have also accumulated abundant cash flow.

By the first half of 2023, the net cash flow generated by Polaiya’s operating activities was as high as 1.111 billion yuan. Strong financial strength provides advantages for the head company, which can invest more in R&D and mergers and acquisitions to enhance its competitiveness.

Polaiya also gradually realized the importance of R&D in the process of high-end.

R&D expenditure has made a significant leap forward since 2021. According to the latest semi-annual report, the R&D expenditure in the first half of the year has reached 91.509 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 49.87%.

Polaiya’s emphasis on research and development once again reminds the market that the domestic beauty market is no longer completely dependent on marketing.

When the consumption boom recedes, only when real money polishes itself and the product itself is done well can it pass the test of time and become a classic brand that has been praised by the public for decades or even centuries.

Beauty cosmetics used to be a hot consumption spot with rapid growth. When the blind craze faded, beauty cosmetics enterprises needed to find new impetus.

On the basis of the best-selling "Shuangkang" and "Ruby", Polaiya launched a higher-end "Energy" series, targeting the middle and high-end market. This is an important step for domestic products to move towards the high-end market.

But becoming a high-end brand requires long-term continuous investment. The success of top overseas brands cannot be achieved overnight.

From paying equal attention to marketing to marketing research and development, the direction of domestic brands has been established.

Cuju: the embryonic form of football

FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 in 2022, like a fire in winter, ignited the passion of fans who had been dormant for four years. Modern football originated in England, but as a sport, its embryonic form originated in China. In ancient China, there was a sport similar to a football match, which was cuju.

one

Cuju originated in barracks at first.

Kick, creep, and step (step). "Take a step against the foot." The words "Nie", "Ta" and "Tread" all mean stepping from top to bottom. Reverse pedaling is equivalent to kicking and jumping from bottom to top. Cuju is to kick the ball, but it is different from the current football kicking method. The main form of Cuju is actually to kick the ball, which is similar to kicking shuttlecock. It can be played by one person or by many people in formation, mainly from bottom to top to prevent the ball from landing. Of course, there are also competitions in which two teams are divided to kick the ball into the goal to win, similar to modern football matches.

It should be noted that there was another ancient ball game called "bow-beating", which had little to do with football, but was the prototype of polo and prevailed in the Tang Dynasty.

Cuju, written in different ways in ancient Chinese, is also called kicking, kicking, kicking, kicking, kicking and so on. The earliest ball is made of wool, so the ball is also called "wool pill", which is written as "cave" or "ball" Later, people filled skins with hair to make spheres, so the ball was written as "bow", which means a ball made of leather by bending. Guo Pu notes the cloud in "Three Cangs": "Mao Pills can make the performers bow." Inflatable rubber balls didn’t exist until the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, Xu Jian and others compiled a comprehensive book "The Book of Beginners", which recorded: "In ancient times, it was tangled with wool, but now it is done with skin and cells (possibly animal bladders) as the lining, and it is done with a sigh of relief." "Toe" is related to the foot, mainly from the part of the human body that touches the ball.

According to Ji Yuan of Things, Cuju originated in the era of the Yellow Emperor and was originally invented to train soldiers in battle. Mawangdui’s silk book "Sixteen Classics" records that the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou and "filled his stomach and thought that he bowed, so that people could hold on to it, and those who were more rewarded". Liu Xiang said to Bielu: "Cuju players are rumored to have done what the Yellow Emperor did, or, from the time of the Warring States. When you are squatting, the military situation is also good. Therefore, when you practice samurai, you know how to be talented, and you practice it because of playing. " There are 25 pieces of Cuju among the thirteen military skill schools in Hanshu Yiwenzhi. It can be seen that Cuju originally originated from barracks, and it is probably a sport that soldiers play in their spare time during military training, which can relax their body and mind and also train teamwork. The original ball games were related to leather, which also confirmed this point. Because in ancient times, the closest contact and user of leather was soldiers, so "soldiers and leather" were connected in Chinese.

From the perspective of literature, Cuju first appeared in the Warring States Period. "Historical Records" and "Warring States Policy" both recorded the popularity of cuju in the State of Qi in the Warring States Period: "Linzi is very rich and real, and all its people play the lute, drum instruments, percussion, playing the piano, fighting cocks, walking dogs, six blogs and stumbling."

Cuju was popular in Han and Tang Dynasties, and reached its peak in Song Dynasty, forming a professional Cuju group called Qiyun Club or Round Club, similar to today’s football clubs. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Cuju gradually declined. For fear of being discouraged by playthings, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, once ordered officials and warriors to ban cuju, "kicking round, unloading feet", and even "bowing round kills nine families". Ming Xizong also ordered that folk football be prohibited. However, Cuju was not banned among the people, and there were still concluding works. The Ming Dynasty wrote "Cuju Atlas" and "Cuju Spectrum", which recorded the methods and rules of Cuju competition from the Tang and Song Dynasties to the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, as well as the forms and specifications of courts and goals. For example, there are ten ways to kick the ball, such as shoulder, back, turn, take, control, drag, hold, knee, racket and moon, and ten kinds of "no kicking tactics" which are not suitable for kicking the ball, such as "after drinking", "before the banquet", "under the muddy water" and "under the lamp and candle". These works also record more than 40 kinds of ball brands and more than 100 cuju clubs.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners also made it popular to play football at the grassroots level. However, in the Qing Dynasty, Shizu Shunzhi made an edict that "it is forbidden to play football immediately" on the grounds that "this dynasty always studies art, and its leisure time is related to book history". Emperor Qianlong even banned cuju on the grounds of gathering people to make trouble. Cuju inevitably declined under the official ban of the two dynasties.

Liu Taigong is not happy without the ball.

The literature recorded the popularity of Cuju in Qilu during the Warring States Period. After the King of Qin swept Liuhe, the troubled times at the end of Qin Dynasty and the struggle between Chu and Han, the tradition of Cuju was still not cut off among the people. By the time Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, the world was reunified, and Cuju won the "endorsement" of Emperor Liu Taigong, the emperor fans like Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and Wei Wudi emerged, and the general stars like Huo Qubing and Liang Ji emerged. Cuju was quite popular in the Han Dynasty.

The reason is probably that Cuju, a sport similar to fighting chickens and running dogs, is quite in line with the civilian characteristics of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, was the first commoner in history. He retained many characteristics of common scoundrels. For example, when Chu and Han were contending for food, Xiang Yu caught Liu Bang’s father, Liu Taigong, tied him to a high chopping board, and set up a big pot next to him. The water in the pot was boiling hot. Xiang Yu threatened Liu Bang to kill Liu Taigong like an animal and throw him into a pot to cook broth for the soldiers to satisfy their hunger. Liu bang had the cheek to say to Xiang Yu, you and I are brothers who become sworn brothers, and my dad is your dad. You have to cook your dad. If you are lucky, please share with me. Liu bang is such a rogue, but this rogue is a bully who can effectively restrain the aristocratic family.

Liu bang was born in a common town, and his father Liu Taigong was also a common man. Liu Taigong was the first real emperor’s father in history, Qin Zhuang Xiang Wang’s "emperor’s father" was sealed by Qin Shihuang, and Liu Taigong was the first emperor’s father who lived to enjoy the actual treatment. Liu Taigong "lay down" all the way to become the emperor’s father, entered the capital Chang ‘an (now Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province) and settled in the magnificent palace, but he was unhappy. Liu Bang is a dutiful son. Seeing his father unhappy, he asked people around him to find out why. It turns out that Liu Taigong is not used to the life in big cities. According to "Miscellanies of Xijing", Liu Taigong "lived a good life, killing teenagers, selling cakes with wine, and fighting cocks for pleasure". He likes to associate with some butchers and vendors, and takes pleasure in selling wine, cakes, cockfighting and playing football. Now he is trapped in the deep palace and has no life.

After Liu learned about it, he ordered Wu Kuan, a craftsman, to build a new city in Liyi, modeled after Fengyi (now Fengxian, Jiangsu Province), a hometown of Pei County, and even the old temple of Fengyi was moved to the new city. When Liu was young, he once offered sacrifices to the God of Yuyu Society in the temple. The layout of streets and lanes and the scenery of utensils in the whole new town are all copied from the old ones, and even all the folks in Fengyi have been relocated easily. The hometown is full of elements, which can be called a replica of a hometown. After the men, women and children of Fengyi came to the new town together, they could recognize their houses at a glance when they walked in the streets, and even the chickens, ducks, dogs and sheep brought by the villagers were scattered on the road, so they could find their own homes.

When Liu Taigong arrived in the new town, he saw that the meat sellers, wine sellers and cake sellers in the city were old friends from his hometown. Besides, there were many recreational activities such as cockfighting and playing football, and he was still familiar with the street life, so he was really happy. In July, the tenth year of Emperor Gaozu (197 BC), Liu Taigong died. In memory of his father, Liu Bang renamed Liyi Xinfeng (now Xinfeng Street, Lintong District, Xi ‘an City, Shaanxi Province). Zhang Shoujie’s Historical Records of Justice in the Tang Dynasty quoted a cloud from Kuozhi: "The old city of Xinfeng is located in the southwest of Xinfeng County, Yongzhou, and the Xinfeng Palace in Han Dynasty." The reason for building the city is the same as that recorded in Xijing Miscellanies.

In Chinese, there is an idiom "Chicken and dog know the new wind" or "Chicken and dog know the new wind", which means that you can still be as familiar and happy in a foreign country as in your hometown. When Su Shi first arrived in Huizhou, he wrote a poem, including two lines, "It seems as if he had traveled in a dream, and he was glad to know the new scenery", expressing a feeling of deja vu and revisiting the old place.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao are "fans"

Cuju was endorsed by the Emperor Tai in the Han Dynasty, and was naturally deeply loved. According to the biography of Han Dong Fangshuo, Dong Yan, Toy Boy of Liu Piao, princess royal, was distinguished for a while, and no one dared to call him by his first name. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty regarded him as the "master". Dong Yan is famous all over the world, and the dogs, horses, cuju and swordsmen in the county are gathered in Dong Yan’s mansion like spokes on the hub.

Not only does Dong Yan like playing football, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is also a "fan". Dong Yan often watches cockfighting, dog fighting, horse racing and cuju competitions with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was happy to watch the game, he ordered Mei Gao, the son of Mei Cheng, to write a poem to record the game and the fun of watching it.

Huo Qubing, a general in title of generals in ancient times, likes playing football. He was successful as a teenager and showed no sympathy for foot soldiers. When he was fighting outside the Great Wall, the soldiers were hungry and listless, but he drew a stadium on the ground and played football.

Emperor Cheng of Han also likes to play football. The Miscellanies of Xijing records: "Emperor Cheng loves cuju, and the ministers take cuju as their labor, which is not suitable for the supreme." After the admonition of his ministers, Emperor Han became fond of playing chess with less exercise.

Liang Ji, a powerful minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was an all-around player in game sports, and playing football was also a sport he was proficient in. "The Biography of Liang Ji in the Later Han Dynasty" said, "(Liang) is addicted to alcohol, and can play full, play chess, play five or six games, play cuju and care for money."

Cao Cao also likes watching football. During the Jian ‘an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tianshui Kong Guangui (the word Shu Lin) was good at playing football, and he loved flattery. Wei’s Spring and Autumn Annals called him "knowing the game, stumbling and bowing", "being proud without virtue, but getting rich without success", and Wei Lue called him "good at cuju, so Mao loved it, and he went in and out with followers every side". For this reason, Cao Pi and Wei Lue. (Cover journalist Wen Kanglin)
