As everyone knows, there is an imperial city with Chinese architecture in Vietnam. According to legend, this imperial city was modeled after the Forbidden City of China. Being in this imperial city is like being in the Forbidden City of Beijing.

This imperial city is located in Hue province in central Vietnam. It was built in 1802 and has a history of 219 years. The capital of the Nguyen Dynasty at that time was set here and it was the center of the country. The imperial city built after imitating the Forbidden City has been listed as a World Heritage Site, and Chinese characters can be seen everywhere in the scenic area.

The existing large-scale building complex in Vietnam is called the “low version” of the Forbidden City, and Chinese characters can be seen everywhere. The appearance of buildings such as the Hue Imperial City in Vietnam is not unexpected, and its roots can be traced back to ancient times. Thousands of years ago, Vietnam was only a county in China. After the Nguyen people established the Nguyen Dynasty, they attached themselves to China and became a dependent country of China.

The long-term affiliation has made the native Vietnamese culture influenced by China, and has developed belief and admiration for Chinese culture. The Chinese characters in the imperial city are enough to illustrate this point.

The imperial city of Hue is second to none in Vietnam’s ancient architecture. Its majestic structure, exquisite carvings, and long history add a sense of weight to the imperial city. Although the artistic presentation and charm are not as good as the Forbidden City of China, its importance is enough to be listed as a World Heritage Site.

From the outside of the imperial city, the entire building structure is almost the same as the Forbidden City. It is even suspected that this is a low-profile version of the Forbidden City of China. The square outer wall envelops the imperial city, and mottled marks can be seen everywhere. After years of wind and rain, the moat is overgrown with weeds and vines grow wildly, but the river is still crystal clear. Four city gates are embedded in the damaged wall. The main gate is the Meridian Gate. Only the emperor with high authority can enter through this gate. The other three gates are side gates. When Wumen entered, the eyes suddenly opened up, the red walls and yellow tiles set against each other, as if there was an invisible force pulling the line of sight, even though the wall was heavily filthy, it still couldn’t hide the light it exudes. There are not only square doors, but also arched doors. Ancient Vietnam, which was deeply influenced by Confucianism, was also very particular about the structure of the city gates. Confucianism pays attention to the harmony of the mean, the ethics is orderly, there is a garden in the square, and there is a square in the garden. The city gate has not only regular square gates but also round arches, which also confirms the ideology of Confucianism. Looking up, the overhanging eaves and the golden dragon carvings on the roof are vivid. On each overhanging eaves, there is a dragon curled up and crawling, looking at each other, as if guarding the imperial city. The body, hair, and tail fin of each dragon look like they are inlaid with colorful gemstones in the distance. The dragon is a symbol of China’s power, nobility, and honor. Dragons in the imperial city can be seen everywhere and built with a lot of money. It is not difficult to find that the infiltration of Chinese culture into Vietnam has been integrated into the national blood. Going deeper, you will find dragons everywhere. The door made of four stone pillars is full of dragons. The scene of the two dragons playing with beads on the roof of the main hall in front is extremely meticulous, and the craftsmanship is greatly admired. The imperial city and the Forbidden City of China not only have the same architectural structure, but also the palace inside. There are not only the place where the emperor and concubines live, but also the office of the emperor. The Palace of Qinzheng is the office place, and the Hall of Yangxin is the place where the emperor lives. The prince’s bedroom was called the Guangming Hall, Kuntai Hall, and Yanshou Palace was the residence of the Empress Dowager. In addition, the palace of the concubine is not explained one by one. Turning to the outside of a certain palace, there is an incense burner placed in the center, and three thin corners drag the arc-shaped incense burner. It is not like the small incense burner in the temple that can be held by hand. This incense burner is so big that two people can carry it. Do not move. The promenade in the imperial city attracts the most attention of tourists. A long corridor is red, with red pillars and golden carvings. Not only is the magnificent magnificent and the fineness is astounding, such a perfect artistic presentation can’t help but make people fascinated. Stayed for a long time, looking for traces of ancient people walking thousands of years ago. From a distance, there are several palaces with yellow walls. There are hollow carved windows in the walls and wooden pillars inside. They don’t look like imperial cities, but the appearance of temples. There is not only the imperial garden in the Forbidden City of China, but also in the imperial city of Hue. Walking along the cobblestone path towards the imperial garden, the imperial garden is right in front of you. Unlike what I imagined, there are no flowers in the imperial garden. It can be said to be a piece of grass. Perhaps thousands of years ago, the flowers were clustered and full of vitality, but now it is dilapidated and weeds grow wildly. Looking around the entire imperial city, there is not only a dragon but also another mascot, the Kylin, Golden Dragon and Kylin both represent good luck in China . The small details in the imperial city can show the mutual penetration of Chinese and Vietnamese cultures. Although many palaces remain intact in the imperial city, some of them are damaged. Even because of the war, only ruined walls were left, and they are now being gradually constructed. In the strong contrast with the magnificent palace, this ruined wall can’t help but make people sigh. The long time makes the past glory indifferent in history. This is also understandable. Looking at the ancient buildings in the long river of history, fortunately, they can be completely preserved in the withering and falling after the years have settled for the world to admire, and further explore their intrinsic value and significance. What has not been preserved, or only fragments are left, can only rely on literal memory to imagine the evidence of its existence. After the rain, the imperial city appeared empty and quiet, and every part of the imperial city was full of tourists. The heavy emptiness of the imperial city replaced the laughter of tourists, and the strong sense of history directly hits the depths of the tourists’ souls through these buildings. The collision of historical buildings and souls has injected a trace of fresh blood into this imperial city, instead of being dull and empty. In order to give visitors a first-hand experience of the past scenes of the imperial city, at the same time of the day, local actors will dress up in Nguyen Dynasty costumes for performances, which makes visitors feel like they are in the Nguyen Palace 200 years ago. . As if the undamaged Hue Imperial City is right in front of you, the red walls and golden tiles of the imperial city at that time were shining, the moat water was crystal clear, the palaces were elegant and comfortable, the imperial garden was full of flowers, the vegetation was prosperous, the pebbles were smooth and shiny, everything They are all very different from now. Although today’s imperial city is not as perfect as imagined, history has given it a sense of vicissitudes and unique flavor. The entrance fee to the Hue Imperial City is relatively high among all the attractions in Vietnam. Many tourists flock to it because it resembles the Forbidden City of China. Are you willing to spend a little money to experience the Hue Imperial Palace hundreds of years ago?

Negative interest on credit When it suddenly costs you to save

As of: 06/18/2021 8:58 a.m.

Up to now, banks have mainly charged new customers with negative interest rates. It also affects existing customers more and more frequently. Consumer advocates advise to be clear about what you want to do with the money.

From Iris Völlnagel, SWR

Anger and complaints from consumers are part of everyday life for Josephine Holzhäuser, financial expert at the consumer center in Rhineland-Palatinate. But since the beginning of the year, more and more consumers have come to her who have left their financial institutions “betrayed and sold” feel. The reason: More and more banks and savings banks are introducing negative interest rates on current and savings accounts.

More than 345 institutes collect negative interest

Many older people, but also younger ones, now sought advice from consumer advocates. Most of them have been customers for years, have taken out their mortgage lending or insurances with the banks, and now they are being threatened with termination if they are not willing to pay negative interest, says Holzhäuser. “From my point of view, this is a clumsy business practice.” People feel compelled and pressured. Many older people are overwhelmed – especially those who are not so fit online. Since the beginning of the year, more than 170 banks and savings banks in Germany have introduced negative interest rates. This is the result of a study on the www.biallo.de Internet portal. Every third bank only grants an allowance of 25,000 euros. The consumer portal Verivox also regularly researches and publishes the product overviews and price lists of around 1,300 credit institutions that are accessible online. As a result, more than 345 banks have now introduced negative interest rates for private customers. 19 banks charge fees for the call money account, which is usually free of charge. This also creates a de facto negative interest rate. In addition, there are the banks that do not publish any information, according to Verivox. Most recently, Postbank announced that it would lower the exemption limits for savings deposits on June 21 and one for new customers “Custody fee” from 50,000 euros on the current account and 25,000 euros on the daily allowance account. Contributions above this limit are charged with 0.5 percent. So far, the tax exemption has been 100,000 euros.

Banks point their fingers at the ECB

As a reason for that “Custody fee” the financial institutions repeatedly claim that they themselves pay negative interest rates to the European Central Bank (ECB). In 2014 it began to charge penalty interest on money that the commercial banks park in their central bank accounts. However, the banks are now granted exemptions. Critics therefore complain that the financial houses are doing business with negative interest rates.

This practice will not change in the foreseeable future, fears consumer advocate Holzhäuser. “If one bank does it, the others follow suit. If the pace continues, one no longer looks to see which bank has no negative interest, but from which tax exemption”, so wooden houses. David Bode from the legal enforcement team of the Federal Association of Consumer Organizations knows whether the introduction of negative interest is generally permissible. The association has filed suits at different courts in several federal states. It concerns both current and overnight money accounts. How long the litigation will take is difficult to estimate, according to Bode. There could possibly be first judgments in the current calendar year. In the end, the Federal Court of Justice may have to decide.

Consumers in a bind

A basic distinction should be made between existing and new customers. The latter advises the financial expert Holzhäuser to look at the small print before signing the contract. In the meantime, it is noted in the general terms and conditions whether negative interest is charged above a certain amount.

This is different with existing customers, where changes require an individual agreement. In the past year, the banks would have allowed existing customers to talk to them. In the meantime, the banks are going to terminate their business relationships. “That has another dimension”, so the consumer advocate. “As a customer, I then have to decide whether to sign or not.” In the meantime, however, she advises signing more and more often, according to Holzhäuser. “If people want to stay with the bank, they have to bite the bullet and watch the further case law.” If you don’t want to sign, you shouldn’t wait for the bank to give notice of termination, advises the consumer advocate. “We cannot yet assess how such a termination will affect Schufa, for example.” Alternatively, consumers could look for a new bank. As a rule, you have some time because the bank contacts its customers one to two months in advance.

Shift money, check investments

Many banks charged negative interest for amounts in excess of 100,000 euros. This corresponds to the amount of the deposit protection; that is, the amount for which the bank guarantees in the event of a total failure. If you have more in your account, you should distribute your money between several accounts at different institutions, according to the advice of the financial expert.

After all, everyone should check why they have so much money in their account at all, according to the consumer advocate. The following also applies: do not accept every offer without review. “In case of doubt, it is better to go with negative interest than to invest the money headlong.” A unit-linked annuity insurance with a term of twelve years is not an adequate offer for people over 70, according to Holzhäuser. You can also deposit the money in a locker or safe at any time. Just leaving it at home is the worst option because of the risk of theft, according to the financial expert

Head of the Chancellery Braun End of the home office obligation from July

Status: 16.06.2021 5:22 p.m.

In all likelihood, employers will no longer have to offer a home office from July. The corresponding obligation expires. The existing hygiene concepts at the workplace should, however, continue to be adhered to. Chancellery chief Helge Braun has announced an end to the home office obligation. Employers would no longer have to offer a home office from July. “The statutory home office obligation is part of the Infection Protection Act – better known as the ’emergency brake’ – and will expire at the end of June,” said Braun of the “Wirtschaftswoche”.

FAQ 04/22/2021

“Favorable situation”

The “Federal Emergency Brake”, which was only introduced in April provides that the federal government can enforce uniform corona protective measures in areas with incidence values ​​above 100. The Infection Protection Act is limited to June 30th. There had recently been talks within the federal government, in particular about an extension of the home office requirement. Braun has now confirmed, however, that the emergency brake will not be extended at this point in time because the situation is currently “favorable”.

Test offer in companies should remain

According to the Ministry of Labor, rules at the workplace are currently being discussed according to the home office obligation. It is only about “basic requirements” at the workplace such as contact reduction, the obligation to test offers and the obligation to hygiene concepts, according to a spokeswoman. Companies must therefore continue to offer employees in companies a corona test twice a week. This emerges from the draft of the new occupational health and safety ordinance of the Federal Ministry of Labor. “We will extend the amended occupational health and safety ordinance so that the protection of employees is in the foreground even when the incidence is falling,” said Federal Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD). In view of the low corona incidences, however, the obligation to work from home can no longer be justified with occupational safety and is therefore no longer applicable. The SPD politician emphasized that a mixture of presence culture and home office would be “the new normal”. “And for that we need a binding legal framework,” stressed Heil.

Braun: “New edition of the ’emergency brake’ possibly in autumn”

Chancellery chief Braun said of a possible new edition of the “Federal Emergency Brake” that this would depend on the vaccination rate, the effect of the vaccines and the possible spread of further virus mutations in the autumn. “If the numbers went up again, then you would have to decide quickly.” At the moment there is no reason to extend the “federal emergency brake”.
