The Dragon Boat Festival (traditional Chinese: 端午節; simplified Chinese: 端午节; pinyin: Duānwǔ jié) is a traditional Chinese holiday which occurs on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar, which corresponds to late May or June in the Gregorian calendar. The holiday commemorates Qu Yuan who was the beloved prime minister of the southern Chinese state of Chu during the Warring States Period, about 600 B.C. to 200 B.C., and is celebrated by holding dragon boat races and eating sticky rice dumplings called zongzi, which were southern Chinese traditions. Dragon Boat Festival integrates praying for good luck and taking respite from the summer heat. In September 2009, UNESCO officially approved its inclusion in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, becoming the first Chinese holiday to be selected. History The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday that has been around in various forms for thousands of years. Its current iteration is an amalgamation of multiple different festivals and traditions. Two prevailing stories are often cited to explain the origin of this age-old holiday. Read on to discover the origins of the Dragon Boat Festival and learn more about the customs associated with this traditional celebration. The suicide of Qu Yuan In modern times, the most popular story explaining the origins of the Dragon Boat Festival concerns the death of Qu Yuan (屈原, Qū Yuán), a poet of the Warring States period (approx. 475 to 221 BC). At the time, it was common for Chinese literati to work in government, and Qu Yuan was no different. He served faithfully as a government official in the State of Chu for some time. After being slandered by another official, however, he was sent into exile. Qu Yuan spent his exile in a productive manner, writing many works of poetry, but his mind was troubled. The State of Chu was not doing well politically, and news of its various defeats at the hands of competing states sent Qu Yuan into a deep depression. Eventually, his despair in the face of the political situation drove him to commit suicide by drowning himself in Hunan Province’s Miluo River. During his time in exile, Qu Yuan had become quite popular with the local people. Legend has it that when they realized he was attempting to drown himself, the citizenry rushed in boats to the middle of the river in an attempt to save him or at least retrieve his body. Unable to find him and worried that fish would eat his body, they threw balls of sticky rice into the river in hopes that the fish would choose the rice over Qu Yuan. Avoiding bad luck in the fifth month Another possible explanation for the origins of the festival is linked to superstitions surrounding the date on which it falls. As noted above, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called the Double Fifth Festival because it falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month. Traditionally, the fifth lunar month was considered to be an unlucky time. People in ce...

Carbon fiber is a high-strength, ultra-lightweight inorganic polymer fiber material with a carbon content of more than 95%. It is stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum. It not only retains the inherent characteristics of carbon materials, but also has the soft processability of fiber materials. It is a material that is "soft on the outside and rigid on the inside". Today, we find new uses for carbon fiber almost every day. These tiny filaments, which currently come in a variety of functional shapes, are only one-tenth the thickness of a human hair. The fibers are processed into fabrics that can be used in subsequent molding processes and formed into tubes and sheets for construction, or as regular threads for filament winding. At first, carbon fiber was mainly used in military industry and aerospace. After continuous development, its application fields are expanding to industrial fields and ordinary civilian fields. With the rapid development of science and technology, carbon fiber is also used in the repair, renewal and reinforcement of infrastructure, the development of new energy and the production of propellers and blades for wind turbines; the manufacturing of automobile braking systems, rotating shafts, car bodies, etc.; applications in the electronic field mainly include High-precision antennas for communications, broadcasting, earth observation, space exploration, and various aircraft. In terms of cultural and sports products, carbon fiber materials have been promoted from fishing rods and golf clubs to tennis rackets, badminton rackets, ice and snow sports equipment, water sports equipment, etc. Among them, golf clubs, tennis rackets and fishing rods are carbon fiber composite materials for sporting goods. The three pillar products account for about 80% of this type of products. 01 Advantages of carbon fiber composites Composite materials are slowly replacing traditional materials. Common composite materials are good substitutes for traditional materials such as metal and wood in various fields. 1. Composite materials have high specific strength CFRP materials offer optimal strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, stiffness and durability. Due to its low density and tensile strength, carbon fiber is an excellent alternative to heavy metals like steel because it is lightweight. The inherent corrosion resistance of thermoset resins allows CFRP products to have a longer product life than standard metal materials because they will not rust or corrode. The high specific strength of composite materials is its greatest advantage. Although carbon fiber is stronger and stiffer than these two materials per unit weight, it weighs approximately 25% of steel and 70% of aluminum. Multilayer composite laminates absorb more energy than traditional single layers of steel, allowing high-end automotive engineers to reduce vehicle weight by 60% while improving crash safety. 2. Composite materials provide possibilities for new designs Composit...

In a year when supply chain tensions plagued the market, the import of bicycles from EU countries has seen unprecedented significant growth. Market values have been slowly but steadily declining since ebike sales gained momentum. The average retail price of bicycle products currently imported into Europe has risen sharply. Europe's ebike imports have grown by double digits and have outpaced bike shipments into Europe. The total sales volume of Asian bicycle exporting countries in 2022 will be lower than that in 2021. Total shipments of general bicycles decreased by 6.37% from 5.4 million units in 2021 to more than 5 million units last year. Shipments from top supplier Cambodia increased by 18.44% to 1.2 million units. The country currently supplies almost a quarter of the EU's bicycle imports. Cambodia's market share will increase from 18.9% in 2021 to 23.8% in 2022. However, most of the top 10 bicycle exporters to the EU will have lower shipments in 2022 than in 2021. Orders from traditional bicycle manufacturing powerhouses, including China, are shifting to other countries such as Bangladesh, Tunisia and Thailand. Bangladesh in particular is currently going through a boom in bicycle factory construction. According to the country's Export Promotion Agency, Bangladesh is actively seeking to diversify its exports, focusing on engineered products and bicycles to meet the growing demand in the international market. Bangladesh is currently one of the countries benefiting from duty-free importation of bicycles sold to the EU.

According to the French media Usine Nouvelle, France recently announced a bicycle action plan, which includes strengthening infrastructure, expanding incentives, and promoting the development of the industrial chain. The French government plans to invest a budget of 2 billion euros from 2023 to 2027 to promote the popularization of bicycles. Bicycles are one of the key industries in France's 2030 investment plan, and localized production will be strengthened. The French government will invest 100 million euros to support the development of the bicycle industry chain, aiming to increase production from 854,000 in 2022 to 1.4 million in 2027 and to 2 million in 2030. The characteristics of French-made bicycles include innovation, environmental protection and affordable prices, which will be the future development trend. The French government plans to invest 250 million euros per year to expand bicycle lanes to 80,000 kilometers in 2027 and 100,000 kilometers in 2030, and inject funds to improve bicycle safety. In addition, the scope of the subsidy will be extended to second-hand bicycles, with a view to promoting environmental protection, increasing purchasing power and creating employment through the development of the second-hand bicycle market. The government will also increase the sustainable transportation subsidy (200~300 euros) for the public sector to encourage more people to go to work by bicycle.
