Glass curtain walls of urban high-rise buildings become the source of "light pollution" (Figure)

  Recently, some readers reported to this newspaper that some glass curtain walls of the World Financial Center reflect strong light. Not long ago, the planned Shanghai Tower, the tallest building in China, published an environmental assessment report online, in which "the influence of reflected light from glass curtain wall" attracted people’s attention.


  The glass curtain wall causes strong light reflection and causes light pollution, which has become a problem that cannot be ignored in urban development. Is it a light and beautiful building material "angel" or a "devil" that causes light pollution?


  The reporter recently visited the main argumentation and examination and approval department of "light reflection influence".


  The inner ring line was once banned, but the effect was not obvious.


  In the Building Energy Conservation Section of the Shanghai Construction Industry Management Office and the Office of the Science and Technology Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Construction and Transportation Commission, two responsible persons mentioned one thing in unison-in 1999, the Standing Committee of the Municipal People’s Congress promulgated the Regulations on the Management of Construction Engineering Materials in Shanghai, which stipulated that the Municipal Commission for the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations should compile a "prohibited and restricted catalogue" and publish it after approval by the municipal government.


  In 2000, the first batch of "Prohibited and Restricted Catalogue" was published, and the glass curtain wall was among them. At that time, it was clearly stipulated: "It is forbidden to design and use glass curtain walls within the inner ring road, except for the podium of the building; Between the inner ring line and the outer ring line, the area of glass curtain wall shall not exceed 40% of the construction area of the outer wall. Construction projects using glass curtain walls should be implemented after environmental assessment by the environmental protection management department and approval by the planning and construction management departments. "


  However, the development of glass curtain wall has not stopped because of the publication of the catalogue. Wu En, deputy director of the Office of the Science and Technology Committee of the Municipal Commission for the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations, explained: "Before the publication of the catalogue, many construction projects have passed the examination and approval. This legitimate reason makes these projects exempt from the catalogue."


  At present, there are many glass curtain wall buildings on both sides of the road, many of which were built after 2001 and are within the inner ring. It is forbidden to stop, ostensibly because of the "time difference" of project approval, but in fact it has a compelling reason.


  What materials can be used for high-rise buildings without glass curtain walls?


  An expert from Shanghai Environmental Monitoring Center, who asked not to be named, believes that the widespread use of glass curtain walls is mainly aimed at the "helpless actions" of the city’s super high-rise buildings. This expert has participated in the examination and approval of many important construction projects in the city. She said that although the regulations on restrictions on the use of glass curtain walls have been issued for many years, it is "unrealistic" to completely ban them. Mr. Shen, the head of the Building Energy Conservation Section of the Shanghai Construction Industry Management Office, said: "The’ one size fits all’ approach is not appropriate."


  "The glass curtain wall is really necessary, and some of its advantages are irreplaceable by other building materials." Wu En explained that especially for super-high-rise buildings with more than forty or fifty stories, the load-bearing requirements for the foundation are relatively high. Under the same circumstances, light glass curtain walls have to be used as the external wall. "If a building with a height of one or two hundred meters does not use glass curtain walls, what better materials can it use?"


  In addition to being light, the glass curtain wall also has the advantages of beauty, earthquake resistance, high permeability and rapid construction. Since the early 1970s, Shanghai has tried to integrate it into urban architecture for the first time. It has been more than 30 years since then, and its technology has passed the standard and its safety factor is high, which naturally makes it the first choice for many architects and developers.


  Light pollution is difficult to avoid, but it must be strictly controlled.


  Glass curtain wall is sometimes a "double-edged sword". On the one hand, glass can be recycled, which makes it stand out from many light materials such as aluminum; On the other hand, strong light reflection causes pollution, which attracts more and more attention.


  "Admit its necessity, and we can’t ignore the negative effects." Wu En introduced that the municipal environmental protection department has issued regulations that when glass building materials are used for building exterior walls, glass with low reflectivity should be used, and the visible light reflectivity should not exceed 15%.


  "The implementation of the regulations is good, but the 15% standard cannot solve the fundamental problem." Yuan Bo, an expert from the Science and Technology Committee of the Municipal Commission for the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations, explained that even if the reflectivity is reduced by half, it will still cause strong light reflection to some extent. "Technically, the ideal reflectivity can be controlled to 3%, but this kind of glass costs three or four thousand yuan per square meter, which is several times that of ordinary glass."


  "When the light is sufficient, the glass curtain wall partially reflects a small amount of strong light, which is difficult to avoid. This is not terrible. The key is that it cannot be reflected to nearby residents’ homes and affect their lives. " Wu En introduced that this is what the Science and Technology Committee focused on.


  The demonstration is generally divided into two steps: first, draw detailed drawings according to the surrounding conditions of the building, and then analyze the various angles that the glass curtain wall may reflect light, and whether it will affect residents. "When the building is built, it will definitely be too late, and it must be involved when reviewing the construction sketch. If it is not up to standard, the drawing review will not pass. "


  "As long as light pollution is found during the demonstration, even if it only affects one or two residents, we will never let it go and must solve it in time." Wu En explained, "There are two commonly used remedies: adding a light shield on the outer wall to reduce continuous total reflection; Stick a film on the glass surface to reduce glare. In the event of a dispute caused by light pollution, it is generally negotiated by both parties, with economic compensation as the mainstay. At present, there is no clear mediation method and compensation provisions. "

Aouita Aouita 12 is listed, with a price of 300,800 yuan. The more you look at the intellectual S7, the more pleasing it is.

On November 10th, the long-awaited Aouita 12 was officially listed. Aouita is a brand jointly built by Changan, Huawei and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, so there is no doubt about the car-making technology. After the listing of Aouita 11 (Parameter | Inquiry), the market feedback is that the price is too high and the popularity is not enough, and the sales volume is maintained at 2,000 vehicles per month.

In fact, it is similar to the tonality of Zhiji brand. However, Aouita 12, which was listed this time, did not fight the price war, but continued to maintain its high head. The price of Aouita 12 came to 300,800 ~ 400,800 yuan, and it will be delivered in December.

Although the price may be a little expensive, the owner of Aouita 11 still won’t feel that he is a "bitter species", which is much better than that of Zhiji LS6, which has no bottom line. Ceo Tan Benhong, the chairman of Aouita Science and Technology, said that he would not blindly pursue sales, and had planned to sell around 30,000 vehicles a year. He also said that brands that sell more than 10,000 vehicles a month basically don’t need to look at them now, and they have made 5-6 products, averaging around 2,000 vehicles a month.

And at the press conference, many brands were implicitly mentioned: some friends only used top-of-the-line models for marketing, selling more than 300,000 cars, but not equipped with lidar, which increased the price of models containing lidar by tens of thousands, and said that many friends described how powerful their smart driving was, but they launched expensive subscription packages after they didn’t land.

Of course, it may not be convenient for this friend Tan to call the roll, and this probably refers to the three brands of Krypton, Tesla and Wenjie.

At present, Aouita 12 has been listed,Aouita 12 is equipped with Huawei advanced intelligent driving system ADS 2.0. And the whole system comes standard with 29 intelligent driving sensors, including 3 laser radars, 3 millimeter-wave radars, 11 high-definition cameras and 12 ultrasonic radars, which gives the whole vehicle a stronger perception.

In addition, ADS 2.0 can realize intelligent driving coverage of high-speed, urban and parking scenes, and it is also more suitable for the complicated road traffic scenes in China.

In addition to intelligent driving, Aouita 12 is equipped with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel with a novel shape. Above the center console, it is equipped with a 35.4-inch 4K panoramic integrated widescreen, in which the left and right sides are the display screens of electronic rearview mirrors, and the floating central control large screen is 15.6 inches. It adopts the design style of embracing cockpit, and the interior technology is quite good.

In terms of body size, Aouita 12 has a body length, width and height of 5020×1999×1460mm and a wheelbase of 3020mm, respectively, and is positioned as a medium and large car.

In terms of power, the two models of Aouita 12 will be equipped with Huawei DriveONE motor system. The maximum power of a single motor of the rear-drive model is 230kW, and the maximum power of the front/rear motors of the dual-motor four-wheel drive model is 195kW and 230kW respectively. The whole system will be equipped with a ternary lithium battery of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited with a capacity of 94.53kWh. The comprehensive cruising range of the single-motor version is 700km, and the cruising range of the dual-motor four-wheel drive version is 650km.

Of course, after all this talk, we must say whether Aouita 12 is worth starting with. Now Aouita 12 is taking intelligent driving, but in the current environment, L3-level intelligent assisted driving can be made, but it is absolutely not allowed to go on the road. Therefore, it is completely unnecessary to buy a 300,000 Aouita 12 intelligent driver, which is why we say that it is better to buy a 258,000 intelligent S7, which is also equipped with the HarmonyOS 4 intelligent cockpit and ADS 2.0 Huawei advanced intelligent driver assistance system.

If L3-level intelligent assisted driving is allowed to go on the road one day, the intelligent S7 will also carry out OTA upgrade. In a word, if the price is expensive, there is a reason not to buy it.

Tank 300 City Edition/Xingyue L, etc., commented on last week’s blockbuster new car

  [Aika Car, Aika Headlines, Original]

  In order to allow the majority of netizens to keep abreast of the dynamics of new cars at any time, Aika Automobile will review last week’s key new cars every Monday. Today we want to review the key new cars of last week (July 19-July 25), including the popular model City Edition, as well as the leapfrog compact SUV with a wheelbase of 2845mm. In addition, with the same origin, the easiest entry-level sports car, the new generation BRZ, also opened the blind order last week. Well, without further ado, let’s follow our article to review those unforgettable moments in the car market last week.

Tank 300 City Edition Xingyue L, etc., commented on last week's blockbuster new car

 

  Model: Tank 300 City Edition

  Price range: 20.00-23 0 yuan

  Review:In today’s society, Internet celebrities not only appear in the entertainment industry, but also in the automotive industry. The Tank 300, which went on sale in December last year, is one of them. From the sales data, the Tank 300 has achieved very good sales in half a year, with a cumulative sales volume of 33,073 units. The strong popularity has led to a long wait for delivery due to production capacity problems after being listed for half a year. As a new model, the Tank 300 City Edition naturally attracted countless attention at the beginning of its birth, and unlike the current model, the overall design of the Tank 300 City Edition is more youthful and fashionable. Through changes in appearance details and color schemes, the Tank 300 City Edition retains its tough nature while bringing consumers more youthful and fashionable elements to meet the needs of young off-road consumer groups.

Tank 300 City Edition

  On July 23rd, the Tank 300 City Edition was officially launched. Although it was a new special edition, the official launch of the Tank 300 City Edition was a relatively rich three models. The names of the models are also very interesting, called "very stylish", "I see the type", "must type", and the price range is 20.00-23 0 yuan. However, it should be noted that the "must type" of the three vehicles is sold in a limited form every month. On July 24th, the first limited edition of 300 units will be launched at 0 o’clock. After that, the monthly limited number will be announced on the Tank TANK APP in advance, and it will be sold on time at 10 am on the 19th of each month until the order is completed.

The official map of the Tank 300 City Edition has been released, and it will be available on July 23

  In terms of overall design, the shape of the Tank 300 City Edition is the same as that of the ordinary version, but it is different in some details. First of all, the Tank 300 City Edition has added two body colors, which are officially called face powder and grass green. Obviously, these two color schemes are more likely to attract the attention of young consumer groups. In addition, the front grille of the Tank 300 City Edition has changed from the black of the ordinary version to silver, as well as the wheel eyebrows. These changes make the Tank 300 City Edition more fashionable in the nature of the tough guy. The body size has not changed, and the length, width and height are still 4760 × 1930 × 1927mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm.

  In terms of interior, the Tank 300 City Edition is basically the same as the ordinary version. The changes are the same as the appearance, and it also appears in the color scheme. The Tank 300 City Edition also adds two exclusive color schemes: "face powder" and "grass green". In terms of power, the Tank 300 City Edition is still the familiar 2.0T engine, and the transmission is still 8AT. However, it should be noted that the Tank 300 City Edition is equipped with intelligent four-wheel drive TOD (two-speed), and the front and rear axle electronically controlled differential locks are cancelled.

  Model: Geely Xingyue L

  Price: 13.72-18 5,200 yuan

  Review:Geely? Geely Xingyue L? According to common sense, Xingyue L seems to be an extended version of Xingyue, but is it really the case? In fact, the addition of L to the back of most models does symbolize lengthening, but its changes are limited to lengthening. In addition to the overall size of the Xingyue L, there are many differences. First of all, Xingyue is a coupe SUV, but Xingyue L is a traditional SUV shape. Secondly, the size of Xingyue L has surpassed Xingyue in an all-round way. Although the positioning is compact SUV, the 2845mm wheelbase makes it larger than many medium-sized SUVs. In terms of interior, Xingyue L has also overturned Geely’s previous models, and the three 12.3-inch large screens are the finishing touch. And high-end configurations such as G-AVP 1km unmanned parking technology and global FOTA online upgrade technology also prove that this car is not just an extended version of Xingyue.

  Let’s review the Geely Xingyue L model. On July 20, 2021, Geely Xingyue L was listed in Hangzhou, and the price range of 6 cars was 13.72-18 5,200 yuan. At the listing press conference, Li Shufu, chairperson of Geely Holding Group, who rarely appeared at the new car launch of various brands, was a rare platform, which proved the importance of Geely officials to Xingyue L. It is definitely a subversive model for Geely. Just like a few years ago, Xingyue L is a milestone model representing Geely’s brand entering the "Geely 4.0 era of technology".

  The design of the Geely Xingyue L continues the design language of the Geely 4.0 era. Unlike the coupe SUV Xingyue, the Xingyue L shows us the aura of a traditional high-end luxury SUV. Unlike the front face of Xingyue, the Xingyue L adopts a more atmospheric straight waterfall grille. The energy matrix headlights of the double-stage design use a full LED light source, which is combined with the through-chrome trim on the lower part of the front face to stretch the visual width of the front face.

  From the side, the Xingyue L adopts a traditional SUV shape that is different from Xingyue, and the muscular body lines tell you that it is not a restrained "boy" that is easy to bully. At the same time, we must focus on the body size of Xingyue L, length/width/height 4770 * 1895 * 1689mm, wheelbase 2845mm, remember, the official positioning of Xingyue L as a compact SUV, but this body is obviously beyond many medium-sized SUVs, this is a proper leapfrog suppression method! As for the tail, Xingyue L wears the current popular through taillights on the body, and there are no less trendy elements.

  The interior of Xingyue L is also one of its subversive designs. Although everyone doesn’t feel much when looking at the pictures, its interior panels do use a lot of suede fabrics, and with exquisite stitches, the high-end feeling suddenly bursts out. However, what attracts me the most is the three 12.3-inch large screens that cannot be ignored. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip escorts its operation, and there are many functions such as Douyin, Karaoke, games, and watching videos. There is also a high-tech that has to be said, that is 5G-AVP 1km unmanned parking technology. Xingyue L is the first model equipped with this technology, which can achieve unmanned parking within 1 kilometer. Novices don’t have to worry about parking difficulties anymore, just use their mobile phones.

Geely Automobile 2021 Xingyue L

  In terms of power, Xingyue L brought over the Drive-E series 2.0TD engine, and also provided two versions of medium and high power, with a maximum power of 160kW (218 horsepower) and 175kW (238 horsepower) respectively. Reflected in terms of performance, the 2.0TD engine gives Xingyue L the strength to break 100 in 7.7 seconds.

Peng Yuyan left his old love Jolin Tsai and flirted with Ito

  


  Peng Yuyan likes to make Chiaki Ito happy both inside and outside the play.


  NetEase Entertainment, March 3rd, "Eddie" Peng Yuyan left his old love "Jolin" Jolin Tsai, and passed on another new love, the object is the sun star Chiaki Ito. It is rumored that the two have been in love for a long time due to their co-production of "Honey Lucky Grass", and they often chat together in private. Eddie also sent his own endorsement of penguin puppets and peaked caps to Ito, and drank a cup of hot cocoa in public without avoiding suspicion.


  Eddie gives endorsements as gifts


  Peng Yuyan’s affair with Jolin last year caused a stir. It is reported that the two are still in contact, but he has been filming the "bee" drama and is eyeing Ito Chiaki, who is a bird and a person. Witnesses told the media that the two had multiple opposing scenes in the "bee" drama. They flirted with each other, and Eddie often made Ito Chiaki happy.


  Not only that, Eddie also gave Chiaki Ito the penguin puppet and painted cap that he endorsed in a high profile. In addition to eating bento together and chatting about their thoughts during the filming break, he would also grab Ito’s drink from time to time and play the "indirect kissing" game.


  Ito will return to Japan


  Speaking of Ito Chiaki, Eddie was all smiles yesterday. He graciously admitted to admiring Ito, "But she’s going back to Japan after filming!" He seemed to be worried that the relationship would fall apart once Ito returned. Then he added: "Whether it’s Miss J or Ito, they are good friends!"


  Flirting, romance warms up


  In the face of Eddie’s generous show of love, Ito pouted and complained: "Every time I shoot a movie and shout cold, Eddie will pretend to take off his coat for me to wear, but in fact, he secretly buttons all the buttons." Although she said she was bullied, but asked her to choose between Zheng Yuanchang, Li Guoyi and Peng Yuyan, Ito still answered without hesitation: "Eddie!" The friendship between the two is gradually warming.

The spring of artificial intelligence creation has come, and the "hidden rules" of ancient poetry are taught by computer.

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 12th Special feature: The spring of artificial intelligence creation is coming.

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Peng Qian Liu Si

  "Early spring rain Chu Qing, willow filar silk caught the shore warbler. The painting boat is full of smoke and waves, and the small bridge is light. "

  Who would have thought that this is a poem created by artificial intelligence with "early spring" as the key word. The author "Nine Songs" was developed by a student team led by Professor Sun Maosong of Tsinghua University Computer Science and Technology Department for three years.

  Xiao Bing, Microsoft’s chat robot, "narrowly beat" human opponents with a Chinese-style song "Peach Blossom Dream" in the variety show "Wit". When the singer sings such an archaic sentence as "In the boundless night rain, the past is like the wind, the peach blossoms in the ear laugh at the spring breeze, and you and I meet in the dream", many viewers think that this is made by human beings.

  The spring of writing poetry, composing music, painting and artificial intelligence has come quietly … …

  Technically, "familiar with 300 Tang poems"

  Zhou Ming, vice president of Microsoft Asia Research Institute, is a literary lover. He and the research team taught Xiao Bing to write modern poetry, and composing music is a new skill.

  Zhou Ming said that neural machine translation, chatting robot, reading comprehension and creation are the four main aspects of the application of natural language processing technology, and the difficulty is gradually increasing. Creation is at the top of the pyramid and it is the most difficult to break through.

  "In the beginning, people couldn’t find how to model creation because it was emotional. Writing poems and writing lyrics are all things with flying literary talents and sudden inspiration, which are difficult to capture. " He said. Thanks to the progress of deep learning and neural network technology in recent years, artificial intelligence creation has won many brilliant achievements.

  Zhou Ming introduced that writing songs by Xiao Bing is a process of "encoding and decoding". The researchers first trained artificial intelligence robots with popular songs. After sufficient training, you can start writing: after inputting the song theme in the form of keywords, it will be coded into a language that artificial intelligence can understand, and the robot will decode and output it in a way that people can understand, becoming a lyric; Then combine this word with the original keyword as a new input, and you can get the second sentence, and so on to get the whole song word. Similarly, you can also input lyrics and translate them into music scores, that is, you can regard music scores as natural languages, thus completing computer lyrics and music scores.

  "Nine Songs" learning to write poetry is also "familiar with 300 Tang poems, and you can recite them even if you can’t write poetry".

  Yi Xiaoyuan, the founder of "Nine Songs" and a graduate student in Tsinghua University, has input more than 300,000 ancient poems since the Tang Dynasty as a corpus, and used the deep learning model to make computer learning. In addition to the rules for leveling and rhyming poems, no artificial rules are given, but computers are allowed to learn the "hidden rules" in ancient poems themselves.

  "We don’t know the rules of how computers make such poems," said Sun Maosong, which is a "black box" phenomenon of deep learning. In his view, each ancient poem is like a necklace, and the beads on the necklace are words. In the deep learning model, the necklace is completely broken up, and then the implicit association between each bead and other beads is given different weights through automatic learning. When writing a poem, put different beads back into a new necklace.

  The ancients wrote poems mostly to express their feelings, and the style was sad, which also made the poems written by "Nine Songs" somewhat "sad for spring and autumn". The team hopes to make the "Nine Songs" more positive by strengthening the training of some relaxed emotional samples. In addition, how to write a longer poem on the basis of ensuring the consistency of the whole poem is also a new challenge.

  In artistic conception, "Kung Fu is beyond poetry"

  In addition to writing poems and composing music, artificial intelligence has evolved new skills such as writing novels and painting. The science fiction novel "The Day when a Computer Writes a Novel" created by artificial intelligence developed in Japan deceived all human judges and was successfully shortlisted for the Japanese Fiction Literature Award. Google artificial intelligence can also create paintings, and some paintings have been sold at a high price of $8,000.

  Artificial intelligence has defeated human beings in the fields of chess and cards, video games, etc. Does the latest progress in the field of artistic creation mean that it is not far from surpassing human beings in this respect?

  Zhou Ming believes that at present, artificial intelligence creation is only based on the imitation of big data, which is far from the creative intelligence of real human beings. "There is not enough data for training artificial intelligence creation, such as the data for composing lyrics; Secondly, the inspiration is not enough, because the data alone is just a follower, writing words and composing music are familiar, and there is no feeling of sudden inspiration in generate. "

  In Sun Maosong’s view, at present, artificial intelligence creation is a limited creativity, which theoretically does not exceed the creative space unconsciously defined by predecessors in the practice of poetry creation for thousands of years. The ancients wrote poetry as "Kung Fu is beyond poetry", often based on experience, with content and artistic conception, but it is difficult for machines to "express their aspirations" or "express their feelings through scenery" for the time being.

  Experts believe that the fear that artificial intelligence surpasses human beings in the field of creation is alarmist. "In areas that need deep connotation or inspiration, such as music creation, poetry and prose, I personally think that machines are basically unlikely to reach the state of people, but they will assist people’s creation." Zhou Ming said.

  However, artificial intelligence can improve the efficiency of professional creators. "If you can’t think of using a word when writing, artificial intelligence will think of a word for you and let you find that you can write like this." For ordinary people, artificial intelligence creation systems such as "Nine Songs" can lower the threshold of creation and realize the dream that "everyone can be a poet, painter or musician".

  Sun Maosong said that the team plans to upgrade the "Nine Songs" system in the future, so that it can judge the quality of people’s poems, such as whether there are mistakes in rhyme and level tone, whether words are unsatisfactory or sentences are incomplete, and help people improve their creative skills; You can also conduct "humanistic calculation" and quantitative analysis and research on ancient documents through big data.

  In addition to the creation itself, the study of machine creation can also bring unexpected benefits to other fields of artificial intelligence, and open up innovation in many fields and interdisciplinary subjects.

  "Before letting Xiao Bing learn music creation, we never thought that music can also be processed by natural language technology," Zhou Ming said. "So once the natural language breaks through, it can drive the breakthrough of cognitive intelligence and the whole artificial intelligence, and there will be many scenes that were unimaginable before."

  After beginning of autumn passed, it officially entered the autumn with the most abundant harvest among the four seasons. Both seafood and fruits and vegetables are growing vigorously. At this time, they have the most nutrients stored in their bodies, strong physique and the best taste.

  A

  Blue crab September fertilizer

  There is still a month before the golden age of eating crabs, and crab lovers can’t help but look around. At present, there are seasonal meat crabs and cream crabs (male crabs and female crabs among blue crabs) in the market, which can comfort the lovers’ lovesickness. Stepping into September, the fleshy crabs and cream crabs are almost spherical in shape, and the tips of their claws are bulging, so you can spit meat and mouth cream!

  [Male Crab]

  Meat crabs are all male crabs, so there will be a sharp mark on their abdomen. Every year from August to November in the lunar calendar, the meat crab is the best time to be made. At this time, its meat is as white as jade, its shell is as round as a shield, and its legs and claws are round and solid, which is worthy of the folk saying that "the meat crab in August is worth a chicken".

  In the eyes of laymen, meat crabs all look alike, with green and hard shells and long and powerful claws. In fact, they also have different places of origin, and their meat quality and sweetness are also different according to the salinity of the waters where they are located. According to experts, there are three kinds of meat crabs in Guangzhou: Vietnamese blue crab, Taishan meat crab and Nansha 18-year-old meat crab, which are different in size and meat taste.

  The Vietnamese blue crab is fleshy and firm.

  Among the meat crabs, the Vietnamese blue crab can be said to be one of the "big brothers". The weight jumps from 2 kg, which can reach 3.5 kg. When the eight claws are open, they are longer than the diameter of basketball.

  Although it is huge and bared its teeth, it is actually a shallow sea crab that grew up eating seaweed. Meat quality is the most compact of the three kinds of meat crabs, so it is also the most fire-resistant, especially suitable for rich flavor dishes that need to be stewed for a long time.

  Shibayong meat crab tastes fresh and sweet.

  Among the three kinds of meat crabs, Shibayong meat crab can be regarded as the smallest, weighing about 1 kg to 1.5 kg. It belongs to salty freshwater crab, and its meat taste is the sweetest among the three crabs, and its meat quality is also the smoothest.

  If the meat quality and sweetness are relatively average, it should be considered as Taishan salt water crab. It belongs to deep-water crab, which usually moves at the bottom of more than ten meters deep, so the crab shell is dark green with white spots and round spots on it, weighing about 1.5 to 2 kg.

  [Female Crab]

  Meat crabs are all male crabs, so where is the female crab? Don’t panic, the female crab is the favorite cream crab of gourmets.

  There are also high and low levels of cream crabs, and the most sweet one is the "top corner cream crab", that is, when you look at the light, you can see that the cream reaches the corner of the crab shell. Among them, the "top-corner cream crab" produced in Taishan is the most popular among eaters, because Taishan is located at the junction of salt and fresh water in the Pearl River Estuary, and the cream crab meat produced is sweet and creamy, especially soft and slippery.

  For experts who are familiar with the road, Taishan vertex cream crab is the most rare in mangrove wild cream crab. It turns out that mangroves can only grow on pollution-free beaches, so the cream crabs that grow up here are pure wild. They feed on natural shrimp shells, and their meat is smooth and fragrant, with crab oil, which can be said to be cream crabs.

  Compared with previous years, there are many kinds of cream crabs this year. Therefore, how to unlock the new opening method is also worthy of the chefs’ hard work. Recently, the Caiyuexuan Chinese Restaurant of Sheraton Guangdong Hotel has cooked a "steamed hibiscus eggs with cream crabs" with unique cooking techniques. Li Shifu used the cream crab from Humen, the mouth of the Pearl River, and served it with farmer organic eggs. In order to ensure the delicious taste of this dish, the master replaced water with fresh crab soup, realized zero water addition at the bottom of steamed egg soup, and strictly controlled the transpiration time to 8 minutes. Under the transpiration of the fire, the delicate flavor of the cream crab is fully integrated into the egg liquid. The whole dish looks ordinary, but it extremely tests the chef’s skill and temperature.

  B

  Flower fish is the fattest and tender meat.

  The flower fish is actually a kind of small carp. This fish is covered with fine leaf scales, and its skin is so thin that its internal organs can be faintly seen. When cooking, it is only necessary to take out its bile without removing its internal organs.

  It is abundant in Hubei and Hunan, and is usually found in rice fields in mountainous areas.

Therefore, there is a saying in these two places that "flowers and fish drink wine, and those who see it will not leave." Most of the flower fish in Hunan are fried or salted. Hubei is mostly stewed, but also pay attention to the original soup to change the original food, even fish soup to eat.

When the aroma is revealed, the fish will be cooked.
