A new wave of "interest rate cuts" was launched, this time by city rural commercial banks and rural banks, with a reduction rate as high as 65 basis points.

China Business Daily (Reporter Wang Tongxu)A new wave of "interest rate cuts" by commercial banks started, and this time, city rural commercial banks and village banks "carried the banner".
Recently, a number of small and medium-sized banks intensively announced the adjustment of deposit listing interest rates, lowering the listing interest rates of 1-year, 3-year and 5-year deposits. Among them, the adjustment of medium and long-term time deposits is relatively large, and the listing interest rate of 5-year deposits is lowered by 65 basis points at the highest.
"This adjustment is mainly a follow-up to the interest rate adjustment actions of state-owned banks at the end of last year, and it also reflects the pressure faced by small and medium-sized banks and the low net interest margin of the banking industry. Lowering the deposit interest rate will help ease the pressure on banks’ interest margin, and also stabilize the net interest margin to enhance the sustainability of supporting the real economy. " Bai Wenxi, chief economist of IPG China, told China Business Daily.

The downward adjustment is as high as 65 basis points.
According to the reporter’s incomplete statistics, up to now, 10 small and medium-sized banks, including Guilin Bank, Yushu Rural Commercial Bank, Lingui Rural Commercial Bank, Huadian Rural Commercial Bank, Guangxi Fengshan Rural Commercial Bank, Jiaohe Rural Commercial Bank, Lingchuan Shentong Village Bank, Fusui Shentong Village Bank, Qinnan National Village Bank of Qinzhou City and Nanning Xingning Changjiang Village Bank, have lowered their deposit listing interest rates, and the adjustment time is generally from February 21, 2024.
Generally speaking, the adjustment mainly involves demand deposits, time deposits, certificates of deposit and other deposit products, and the adjustment of medium and long-term time deposits is even greater.
Among them, two rural banks, Lingchuan Shentong Village Bank and Fusui Shentong Village Bank, made the same adjustment to the listing interest rate of lump-sum deposits, and the five-year interest rate was adjusted from 3.85% to 3.2%, with a downward adjustment of 65 basis points; The 2-year interest rate was adjusted from 2.75% to 2.55%, down by 20 basis points; The one-year interest rate remains unchanged at 2.15%.
Guilin Bank also adjusted the 5-year deposit rate to 3.2%. It is worth noting that this is the second time that the bank lowered the listing interest rate of deposit products during the year. On January 21st, the bank adjusted the five-year deposit interest rate from 3.9% to 3.35%. Together with this adjustment, the five-year deposit interest rate of the bank has dropped by 70 basis points since the beginning of the year.
For the reasons for this adjustment, a number of banks said in the announcement that it is to further promote the marketization of interest rates.
On the whole, the adjusted 3-year and 5-year time deposit rates of these small and medium-sized banks are still mostly above 3%, which is higher than that of state-owned banks.
"Lowering the deposit interest rate is to stabilize growth and adjust the structure." Yu Xi, co-founder of Communication Planet App, told reporters that in the current economic situation, lowering the deposit interest rate will help reduce the financing cost of the real economy, promote investment and consumption, and thus stimulate economic growth. At the same time, this is also part of the central bank’s prudent monetary policy, which supports the development of the real economy by adjusting the interest rate transmission mechanism, optimizing the allocation of resources.
Respond to the pressure of narrowing the net interest margin
On the evening of February 21st, the Table of Main Supervision Indicators of Commercial Banks in 2023 (Quarterly) issued by the State Financial Supervision Administration showed that by the end of 2023, the net interest margin of important indicators of commercial banks had fallen to 1.69%, which was below the 1.7% mark for the first time.
On February 22nd, CICC released a research report saying that the narrowing of net interest margin of commercial banks in 2023 was mainly due to the adjustment of existing mortgage interest rate, repricing of loans and the downward trend of new loan interest rate.
The "unprecedented" reduction of LPR by 25 basis points over five years will put the banking industry under pressure to further tighten the net interest margin.
Lou Feipeng, a researcher at China Postal Savings Bank, believes that this round of reduction of deposit interest rates by small and medium-sized banks will help reduce debt costs, hedge the pressure of further narrowing the net interest margin caused by the reduction of LPR for more than five years, and enhance the sustainability of banks’ support for the real economy.
However, it is worth noting that in the context of the general decline in bank deposit interest rates, some banks have raised deposit interest rates against the trend.
Recently, many banks, including Xinxiang Rural Commercial Bank, Suining Rural Commercial Bank and Huojia Rural Commercial Bank, announced that they would raise the deposit interest rate.
As for the reason for raising the deposit interest rate, Xinxiang Rural Commercial Bank said in the announcement that it is a means to give back to customers at a "good start".
Wu Zewei, a researcher at Xingtu Financial Research Institute, said in an interview that small and medium-sized banks are in a weak position in saving money, and the debt side is under pressure. In addition, in order to sprint, the deposit interest rate is raised to attract depositors’ deposits.
Zhang Xuefeng, a financial commentator, told reporters that the impact of bank interest rate cuts on the economy and financial system needs to be carefully evaluated. The interest rate cut may stimulate the demand for loans, but it will also pose a challenge to the profitability and stability of banks. Especially for small and medium-sized banks, interest rate cuts may further squeeze their profit margins and increase risks. Therefore, the regulatory authorities need to closely monitor the impact of interest rate cuts on bank risks and take necessary measures to ensure the stable operation of the financial system.
There is still room for lowering the deposit interest rate.
In order to alleviate the downward pressure on net interest margin, commercial banks have lowered deposit interest rates several times.
According to the research report of Guojin Securities, the reduction of deposit interest rate is expected to ease the pressure on banks’ net interest margin and enhance the enthusiasm of finance for supporting the real economy.
The report on the implementation of China’s monetary policy in the fourth quarter of 2023 issued by the central bank also proposes to continuously deepen the interest rate marketization reform, further improve the formation mechanism of quoted interest rate in the loan market, give play to the role of market-oriented adjustment mechanism of deposit interest rate, and promote the steady decline of comprehensive social financing costs.
Looking into the future, people in the industry generally believe that there is still room for the deposit interest rate to fall.
Bai Wenxi said that the central bank recently announced that the LPR for more than five years will be lowered by 25 basis points, which is expected to further guide banks to lower deposit interest rates and promote the orderly decline of LPR, thus reducing the financing cost of the real economy.
Dong Ximiao, chief researcher of Zhaolian, believes that the Central Economic Work Conference calls for "promoting the steady and declining cost of comprehensive social financing". Under this background, banks will still reduce costs on the capital side, and the deposit interest rate is more likely to fall. Small and medium-sized banks should abandon the "speed complex" and "scale complex" and rationally expand their deposit business according to their own assets and liabilities. They should not only maintain the appropriate growth of deposit business, but also keep the debt cost within a reasonable range.
"For depositors, when the deposit interest rate drops, the savings income decreases, which may reduce the willingness to save and increase the demand for consumption and investment. In the long run, this adjustment will help optimize the allocation of resources, improve the efficiency of capital use, and be conducive to the sustainable development of the economy. " Said by the sunrise.

Nancai Dialogue | Zheng Zhiming, Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences: Blockchain will change the pattern of digital finance in the future

08:53

From the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan", we can see that the digital economy has been increased in many places, and the blockchain technology has been upgraded to the development strategy of the next generation information technology. So, what is a blockchain? At present, it is in a critical period of innovation and reform of the financial system. How will the blockchain change the pattern of digital finance in the future? What are the application explorations of blockchain in the digital financial market? Zheng Zhiming, an academician of China Academy of Sciences, first put forward the model of blockchain distributed trusted system in China, and put forward the ternary optimization and balance strategy of blockchain.

On July 30th, Academician Zheng Zhiming was invited to attend the 7th Risk Management and Financial Statistics Forum held in Nansha, Guangzhou and delivered a keynote speech. During the forum, he accepted an exclusive interview with Southern Finance.

(Zheng Zhiming, Academician of China Academy of Sciences and Professor of Guangzhou University)

Blockchain will reconstruct the financial credit system

Southern Finance and Economics: The first thing I want to ask is whether it is possible.Tell us about some applications of blockchain in digital finance with a vivid and simple example.

Brian cheng:The simplest thing is digital finance. All financial transactions must consider the risk issue, because the core of finance, its first element is risk, so how to control risk, blockchain will do this. It is to establish a credible platform to exclude the risks in the process of financial digital finance and financial transactions, and its core point lies in this place. Because it is a trust system, the role of blockchain makes the transaction process simpler, more direct, simpler and clearer. It is a technology that uses the traditional trust model in the past to establish a rapid trust relationship through technology.

You see, if there is a problem with that financial system, the risks are not well controlled or there is a problem, so I think blockchain technology can greatly improve the efficiency of financial transactions. This efficiency is established on the basis of ensuring its credibility, so improving the efficiency is what we talked about at the beginning, that is, what GDP is equal to, that is, M times V, that V is the circulation speed, and that M is the money invested, so with the blockchain technology, the circulation speed (V) will be greatly improved, so that is to say, I will change the economic model and then improve the whole GDP.

Blockchain helps the transformation from "owner mode" to "property mode"

Southern Finance and Economics: Was it like the Bank of China, which had to go through this procedure, and then ICBC had to go through the procedure, which might be some repetitive work?

Brian cheng:Here’s the thing. For example, the Agricultural Bank of China made its own system, while the Bank of China made its own system. This system is all internal, and the system it made will not be used by the Agricultural Bank in the future, so it is not only a duplication of work in the past, but also a repetition of the platform it built, which is tantamount to isolated islands.

So in fact, no matter the development of information technology in the future, it is very important to change the concept. The past concept was called "owner mode", right? The "owner mode" means that I am the owner and I am the platform, so if you come to me to use my things, who will come to you to use them? Therefore, to change this mode, it is necessary to make it a "property mode". I have done a very good job in the property, and I have served all of you well. You are all on my platform, and then you can get your past stock, which can be consolidated and added new increments. Everyone is satisfied.

Therefore, it is such a thing with low cost and high efficiency. For the blockchain, it should be jointly supported to make a high-level platform that everyone builds and shares, which is the so-called "property platform". Only in this way can we do this well.

It is extremely urgent to establish China’s national blockchain basic platform.

Southern Finance: It really seems that especially in the first two years, the concept of blockchain was particularly popular and well known, but at the same time, it seems that the threshold is relatively low, as if there are many (fake) financial products, and even the phenomenon of swindling with it actually exists. What do you think of this problem?

Brian cheng:Because that blockchain technology is actually a very difficult technology, why does it suddenly feel very simple? Because now the United States has launched several open source chains, such as Bitcoin, after this open source chain comes out, information people are most afraid of not having open source. After it has an open source chain, frankly speaking, it has been trained for two or three months. After a code transformation and a white paper, it will set up a company, so it will become a very low threshold thing. But in fact, it is difficult and difficult to really do this technology well, frankly speaking, there are few people in China.

Because blockchain is an expansive technology, as long as you use mine, you have to abide by my rules, which is equivalent to turning this obvious and unreasonable treaty in the past into a hidden one, that is, an obvious and hidden treaty. Then, for our country, we also want to develop into a strong country. If we want to develop a strong country, we must make full use of blockchain technology, and then we can push out our country’s influence.

Doing a blockchain is a scene and a chain, which is basically a life cycle of several years. It can’t last long, because with the development of blockchain technology, after this so-called "property platform" is built for it, it can adapt to multi-business scenarios. If the "property platform" is built, you think that the blockchain like it will soon be destroyed.

It is necessary to speed up the improvement of the original innovation capability of blockchain.

Southern Finance & Economics: At present, all our industrial chains have encountered a problem, so they all set up their own set of intelligent management systems. On this basis, why can’t it get through? What is its difficulty?

Brian cheng:A business scenario, if it is so slow and produced little by little, will have no digital economy and digital finance. Digital financial data requires fast, and business scenario transactions should be realized quickly. It is safe for you to use Bitcoin, and its network is fine, but it is not alive. Although it has many advantages, it is not the best blockchain in the world.

Then, after sacrificing security, after you throw away the security and credibility, is it still called blockchain? Therefore, it is easy for many people who want to do blockchain, so its threshold is very low. But how to prove how high the security level of this system is, few people in China can do this.

How does blockchain promote the development of digital finance industry in Guangdong?

Southern Finance: How does the blockchain promote the development of the entire digital finance industry in Guangdong?

Brian cheng:I think compared with other places, Guangdong’s economic development is more open, more flexible, more pragmatic, and its policies are wider. Moreover, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao have traditions, and I think it will definitely take the lead in digital finance in the future. Therefore, I hope that our technology can first serve the rapid development of digital finance in Guangdong and make it a good platform. Second, we should learn from its reform, and understand the whole reform idea of learning from it. Then adjust the technical characteristics of the whole technology platform to suit the development of digital finance in Guangdong.

Academician Zheng Zhiming emphasized that "trust" is the core connotation of blockchain, "trustworthiness" and "intelligence" are its core characteristics, and blockchain is the only way for the development of digital economy. From the multiple perspectives of demand side, market application, underlying technology and social structure, blockchain has a wide range of applications and a promising future.

The Ministry of Education makes every effort to do a good job in the investigation and rectification of teaching materials for primary and secondary schools.

  Cctv newsAccording to the website of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education attaches great importance to the illustration of the primary school mathematics textbook of People’s Education Publishing House, and makes a comprehensive investigation and rectification of the illustrations and contents of the national primary and secondary school textbooks and extracurricular reading materials to ensure the correct political direction and value orientation, carry forward the excellent Chinese culture, and conform to the aesthetic habits of the public.

  After the investigation and rectification work started, the Ministry of Education organized nearly 350 experts from the Expert Committee of the State Textbook Committee to conduct a comprehensive review of 359 sets of 2,487 national curriculum textbooks used in primary and secondary schools. The provincial education administrative departments set up special classes for investigation and rectification, organized special forces to conduct a comprehensive review of local curriculum textbooks for primary and secondary schools and teaching AIDS recommended by provincial education administrative departments, and conducted a comprehensive investigation of extracurricular reading materials entering primary and secondary schools. At the same time, ordinary colleges and vocational colleges proofread the teaching materials used in schools, and publishing units conduct a comprehensive self-examination of all published teaching materials and extracurricular reading materials. On the basis of comprehensive self-examination, the Ministry of Education and provincial education administrative departments also conducted key spot checks. For the problems found, we have timely guided and urged the writing and publishing units to seriously complete the revision. At present, teaching materials and teaching AIDS have been printed and distributed. Since late July, the Office of the State Council Education Steering Committee has carried out special supervision on the investigation and rectification work, covering 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, and comprehensively urged and inspected the implementation and effectiveness of various investigation and rectification tasks.

  In addition, in view of the problem of teaching materials reflected by the society through special mailboxes, the Ministry of Education has established a 24-hour disposal mechanism, in which mail is checked in time by special personnel, classified and registered one by one, and ledger management is implemented. As of August 21st, a total of 1,780 emails reflecting the problems of teaching materials were received, and special forces were organized to analyze and judge the emails, which were classified and fed back to relevant publishing units and responsible departments for research and handling. Improving the quality of teaching materials is a process of continuous improvement. In the next step, the Ministry of Education will further broaden channels, listen to opinions and suggestions from front-line teachers, students and parents, improve the daily revision mechanism, and constantly improve and perfect teaching materials. All sectors of the society are welcome to continue to make comments and suggestions at any time through the fast response channel of textbook problems (e-mail: jcwt@moe.edu.cn).

Artificial intelligence is an opportunity and a challenge. Experts suggest that supervision should be strengthened from all aspects.

CCTV News:As an important part of Cyber Security Publicity Week, the 2023 Cyber Security Expo is being held in Fuzhou. The reporter noted that how to better develop the artificial intelligence industry attracted the attention of the participants. Many experts believe that although generative artificial intelligence can greatly facilitate and improve human life style, it also poses a new challenge to network security and needs to strengthen supervision from all aspects.

Experts pointed out that any technology has two sides, and there are a series of security risks hidden behind generative artificial intelligence, which poses new challenges to national security, social security, network security and data security.

In terms of security, experts pointed out that excluding human intervention, the security problem of artificial intelligence itself is also obvious.

China computer federation (CCF) Computer Security Professional Committee Member Degree:First, at the source, the data may be poisoned and polluted, so the original training data may have problems. Second, when training, there may be a big data discrimination algorithm in it, and it may not be a fair algorithm, which will lead to problems in the results. Thirdly, there will be a feedback mechanism in the final output stage, and the feedback mechanism may inject some malicious data or samples, which will also lead to the deviation of the answers obtained by this model.

So, how to deal with the hidden dangers of artificial intelligence? Experts said that this requires joint efforts from the supervision, practitioners and enterprises.

Li Xinliang, Expert of Guangdong Digital Government Network and Data Security Emergency Response Expert Group:In view of the security risks that AI may bring, I personally feel that it is necessary to speed up relevant legislation at the national level and formulate relevant industry standards as soon as possible. In addition, for AI practitioners, it is necessary to strengthen the corresponding training so that they can carry out it at the level of national laws and regulations when using AI technology. From the enterprise level, we must fully consider the compliance of collecting citizen information, and at the same time, we must strengthen the relevant actions of data protection in the transmission and storage of these collected data.

Report card for the first anniversary of Beijing’s medical reform: 12 million primary patients increased.

What is the effect of medical reform for one year? On April 20, Beijing released the "medical reform report card": 210 million outpatient and emergency visits were completed, and 3.9 million discharged patients were treated in an orderly manner; There was a net increase of more than 12 million person-times in primary medical treatment; The average length of stay in tertiary hospitals decreased by 0.7 days … … "The overall situation is stable and orderly, with positive changes, in line with expectations and good response." Lei Haichao, Party Secretary and Director of the Municipal Health Planning Commission, gave comments.

Outpatient and emergency volume

Third-level hospitals reduced the number of primary hospitals increased.

Hierarchical pricing of medical service fees, differentiated medical insurance reimbursement policies and the construction of medical associations have greatly promoted graded diagnosis and treatment.

Over the past year since the reform, the number of outpatient and emergency consultations in tertiary hospitals has decreased by 11.9% compared with the previous year, while the number of outpatient and emergency consultations in secondary hospitals has remained basically the same. The cumulative number of outpatient and emergency consultations in primary hospitals and primary health care institutions has reached nearly 80 million, a net increase of more than 12 million over the previous year, with an increase of 16.1%. The number of consultations in some community health service institutions has increased by about 25% to 30%. Some common diseases have been gradually diverted to grass-roots institutions, which has reversed the situation that the amount of diagnosis and treatment at grass-roots level has declined or wandered for more than a decade, and the overcrowding of large hospitals has been alleviated.

The number of emergency visits by the deputy director and chief physician of the hospital decreased by 9.7% and 25.5% respectively, making it more rational for patients to choose experts to see doctors, alleviating the difficulty of seeing experts, and the limited resources of experts and famous doctors can better serve critically ill patients and prolong the communication time between doctors and patients.

While outpatients and emergency patients are diverted to grass-roots institutions, inpatient medical services are concentrated in tertiary hospitals. Over the past year since the reform, the number of discharges from tertiary hospitals has reached 3.2 million, an increase of 2.7%; The average length of stay was 8.6 days, a decrease of 0.7 days compared with the previous year, and the advantages of hospitalization service in tertiary hospitals were more obvious.

Medical expenses

Save more than 6 billion yuan a year.

The new compensation mechanism of medical institutions has begun to play an effective role. The old compensation mechanism that public medical institutions rely on drug income no longer exists.

The newly established medical service fee can replace the original registration fee, medical treatment fee and drug bonus income in the fourth week after the reform is initiated. When the total income of medical institutions is basically stable, the structure is optimized and the gold content is improved. Compared with before the reform, the disposable income of medical institutions is generally in a good trend, and the new compensation mechanism effectively supports the smooth operation of medical institutions.

Over the past year, the increase of medical expenses has declined. The city’s medical expenses only increased by about 5%, which is the lowest year since 2000. Medical institutions have saved more than 6 billion yuan in medical expenses. The total amount of drugs purchased in sunshine was 62.4 billion yuan, saving 5.51 billion yuan in drug expenses. Only one measure of drugs purchased in sunshine reduced the overall drug price by 8.8%. The proportion of drugs in secondary and tertiary hospitals in the city decreased by 9 percentage points.

Medical insurance assistance

Reduce personal burden by nearly 60 million yuan

The city will include all 435 medical services that meet the requirements in the scope of medical insurance reimbursement; Open up the difference in the scope of reimbursement of medical insurance drugs between community hospitals and large hospitals. Targeted implementation of the reform method of paying the hospitalization medical expenses of mental patients according to the fixed bed day, reducing the burden of special people, and the personal burden of urban and rural medical insurance patients is generally stable. Taking the basic medical insurance for urban workers as an example, as of April 7 this year, the medical insurance fund has increased its special expenditure by 2.28 billion yuan and reduced its personal burden by nearly 60 million yuan.

People in need have also received effective assistance. The proportion of outpatient assistance and hospitalization assistance for social assistance objects was adjusted from 70% to 80%, the annual ceiling line of outpatient assistance was adjusted from 4,000 yuan to 6,000 yuan, and the annual ceiling line of hospitalization assistance was adjusted from 40,000 yuan to 60,000 yuan; The proportion of major disease relief was adjusted from 75% to 85%, and the annual relief ceiling line was adjusted from 80,000 yuan to 120,000 yuan. The per capita burden of social assistance objects such as outpatient service, hospitalization and major disease assistance policies has been reduced by about 30%.

Medical institutions in this city have achieved results in improving medical services. Promote the appointment service to shorten the appointment time to less than one hour; Strengthen in-hospital hierarchical referral, and the number of well-known expert teams has reached 113.

The 261 community health service centers in the city implemented the service mode of "diagnosis first, settlement later", and reduced the medical service fee for the elderly over 60 by 26.65 million person-times. Patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes can use 105 kinds of commonly used drugs in the community, and prescribe more than 40,000 "two-month long prescriptions" to save the cost of medical treatment for patients.

Hot spot response  

How do community hospitals attract patients?

Lei Haichao: To make the graded diagnosis and treatment system develop deeply and persistently, we must further improve the ability of grassroots services.

At present, the number of patients in community medical institutions is increasing. In the future, we will consider setting up certain rehabilitation and long-term nursing beds in community health service centers according to the needs of residents.

We also need to train more pediatric graduates. By 2020, each community health service center must have at least one doctor who can carry out diagnosis and treatment of common and frequently-occurring diseases in pediatrics.

How to break the shortage of drugs in the community?

Lei Haichao: At present, some patients report that some drugs cannot be prescribed in community health service institutions, mainly because the space of community health service institutions is limited. At the same time, it is necessary to further explore the characteristics of drug use for patients who are diverted from tertiary hospitals and secondary hospitals to the grassroots level and optimize drug allocation. At the same time, explore and promote the innovation of pharmacy management mode in community medical institutions.

Will the diseases with long prescriptions be expanded?

Lei Haichao: This year, the city will study increasing the number of long prescription diseases in community health service institutions and adjusting the long prescription drug list in a timely manner, so as to truly solve the demand for drugs and medical treatment at the grassroots level.

Check how to run less.

Lei Haichao: In the future, information technology will be used to improve the diagnosis and treatment capabilities of community primary medical and health service institutions. For example, we are considering establishing consultation or diagnosis centers for inspection, pathology, imaging and electrocardiogram. Through the Internet+medical technology, patients can complete the corresponding examination at the grassroots level, and then transmit the relevant information to the secondary and tertiary hospitals to complete the diagnosis, so as to ensure and improve the quality of patients’ treatment at the grassroots level in the community.

Progress in medical reform  

20% experts give priority to staying in the community.

Li Sufang, deputy director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, revealed that the next step will be to improve the quality of primary health care services, ensure that patients can see diseases in the community, get medicines, and be good gatekeepers of people’s health.

The city will continue to increase the training of primary medical service personnel, especially the training of general practitioners, introduce a number of talents in short supply, and enrich the front-line strength of primary medical service. Give full play to the role of medical associations hand in hand, and give priority to leaving 20% of the expert sources in large hospitals to community medical institutions as an important channel for making appointments for referral. In the future, the source of the secondary and tertiary hospitals in the medical association of this city will be open and inclined to the primary medical and health institutions, and the on-demand directional referral appointment will be realized in 2020. At the same time, encourage and guide doctors from large hospitals to visit the community, and improve the ability to guarantee primary drugs.

The city will continue to promote the adjustment of medical service prices. It will also improve the procurement mechanism of drugs and medical consumables, and further reduce the space of inflated prices of pharmaceutical consumables; Improve the supervision mechanism, promote the construction of the whole supervision mechanism of medical behavior, and promote the information disclosure of the price, average cost and drug use of pharmaceutical consumables in hospitals.

New things in medical reform  

Century altar hospital opens special clinic in community.

After the medical reform, the Millennium Hospital opened a special clinic in the community to attract a large number of patients. For example, the clinic for lumbago and leg pain at Fuxingmen Community Station, the clinic for constipation at Ronghui Clinic and Lianhuachi Community Station; Cough clinics of ganjiakou Community Health Service Center and Wanshou Road Community Health Service Center, the governing units of the Medical Association.

"The demand for these clinics is very high, and our hospital regularly sends experts to the grassroots every week." Xu Jianli, president of the Millennium Monument Hospital, revealed that the hospital also organized experts to go to the community to make house calls, make rounds, teach and give health talks in a number of primary medical institutions. According to statistics, last year, experts made a total of 1517 visits to the grassroots, 156 rounds and 286 consultations. "Residents have enjoyed the diagnosis and treatment services of tertiary hospital experts in the community, achieving a high level of medical continuity." Xu Jianli said.

Xuanwu hospital reduced unreasonable drug costs by 3.157 million yuan.

During the implementation of medical reform, in order to ensure the safety and benefits of patients’ medication, xuanwu hospital adopted a prescription review pre-system to expand the scope of prescription review. Over the past year, through prescription review and rational drug use monitoring, as well as the implementation of prescription/doctor’s advice pre-audit system, the unreasonable drug costs for patients have been reduced by 3.157 million yuan, the average outpatient drug costs have decreased by more than 20 yuan year-on-year, and the average drug costs for discharged patients have decreased by 25.19% year-on-year.

The proportion of drugs in the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University decreased by 14.7% compared with the previous year.

Since the medical reform, the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University has launched a series of measures to control the increase of medical expenses, drug expenses and sanitary materials expenses and reduce the burden of medical expenses for patients. For example, in drug management, the hospital set up a list of key monitoring drugs based on evidence-based, combined with the special management of antibacterial drugs, tumor treatment drugs and auxiliary drugs, and further reduced the proportion of drugs by guiding rational drug use. In 2017, the proportion of drugs in this hospital was 32.39%, which was 14.7% lower than the previous year.

Chaoyang hospital

Shooting in the community

The diagnosis is in the top three

During the medical reform, Chaoyang Hospital established the first remote imaging diagnosis center in this city. The patient "shoots" in the community hospital nearby, and the experts in the radiology department of Chaoyang Hospital will read the film remotely through the Internet and complete the diagnosis report in time. At present, the hospital’s remote imaging diagnosis center can issue radiation diagnosis reports for 7 community health service centers in Chaoyang District.

Citing the past, evaluating the degree, and the order of etiquette: poetry and gentleman’s interpretation in Zuo Zhuan

Time:July 31st (Saturday) at 18:30.

Location:Tencent conference (ID: 81585448056)

Speaker:Ke Martin (Chair Professor, Princeton University)

Among the many unusual features of Zuo Zhuan (compared with any other historical writing in all ancient civilizations around the world), two are interrelated: first, the quotation and performance of traditional texts, especially the poem; Secondly, a kind of comment and historical appreciation (that is, one of several evaluation methods) on a specific level caused by "gentleman saying". A gentleman is not any specific figure, but an anthropomorphic representative of Confucianism in the Warring States period. His comments on historical narrative are independent of the narrative and wander in it, thus blurring and diluting the boundary between "text" and "comment". Secondly, what the gentleman said is closely related to quoting the ancient times, especially the poem, and is always presented in a moral preaching mode. The purpose of this lecture is to analyze the phenomenon that quoting Poems is closely related to "Gentleman’s Saying", and put forward that they actually serve two important purposes: first, to put the original materials of Zuo Zhuan under the ideological framework of Confucianism in the Warring States Period; Secondly, it teaches readers of Zuo Zhuan how to evaluate history morally and how to immerse themselves in traditional classics and idealized cultural practices. To sum up, Zuo Zhuan not only has expressiveness and performance, but also teaches readers how to become a gentleman and how to master the biography of Poetry.

From books and documents to information flow: on the development of literary research in sinology in North America

Time:August 3rd (Tuesday) 15:30-17:00.

Location:ZOOM conference

Speaker:Xu Mingde (postdoctoral fellow, Institute of Oriental Studies, Oxford University)

Under the influence of the history of books and the history of new culture, the history of reading has made great progress in the past 30 years, which not only makes us pay more attention to the way of text generation and the editor’s mentality of proofreading, but also makes us rethink many stereotypes and conventions in the original literary history. In recent years, the history of reading is more based on information science, trying to understand the streaming of literary texts from the aspects of information collection, classification, processing, dissemination, storage and retrieval. In this speech, I hope to illustrate the development and trend of this kind of research by using three specific cases: (1) writing manuscripts in the Middle Ages, (2) Song Ci, and (3) the study of bookshops in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
