（原标题：曹县的"逆袭"，从一根网线开始 | 丰收新图景） 在凭借汉服出圈之前，曹县曾长期"躺"在山东省脱贫任务最重的县域名单里。 这个位于鲁豫两省交界处的人口第一大县，也是劳动力资源第一大县，其经济增长的希望一度并非源于 本土产业，而是系于成千上万的外出务工者。 据《齐鲁晚报》2006年的一篇报道称，2005年曹县输出农村劳动力20万，平均每人每月务工收入只有 700元至800元，全年的劳务收入达17亿元，占当年曹县GDP总值（56.5亿元）的30%左右。《菏泽统计 年鉴》显示，同年曹县人均地区生产总值为3941元，在菏泽9个县区中排名垫底。 曹县下辖807个行政村，和大多数鲁西南地区的乡村一样，这里曾经交通落后，缺乏像样的道路。曹县 电商办主任张龙飞回忆道，那时县里的干部去大集镇检查工作，若遇乌云密布，就必须抓紧赶路，否则 泥泞的土路会让车辆寸步难行。 谁曾想，当年那个雨天难行的大集镇，日后却成为曹县电商的起点。如今，曹县的大集镇与安蔡楼镇的 行政村几乎全民从事电商，这两个镇也是全国闻名的"淘宝村"全覆盖的"双子星"。 从依赖劳务输出的传统农业县，到以农村电商为引擎的新型县域，曹县的转型，不过用了十几年时 ...

（原标题：十月行记|闽南博饼） 每逢中秋临近，厦门的大街小巷总会传来乒乒乓乓的声音，那是骰子撞击瓷碗所发出的清脆声响，这便 是独属于闽南人的中秋节庆方式——博饼。 第一次玩博饼的人可能会被桌上的热闹绕晕：六颗骰子在红釉大碗中碰撞，停下时的点数组合对应着一 套完整的"科举体系"——从"一秀"到"状元"。要想成为一个老练的博饼玩家，避免骰子投完后不知道自 己所对应的彩头，则要花上时间记一记博饼的玩法。 这其中，"红四点"无疑是绝对的主角。最基础的"一秀"是一颗红色四点，"二举"则是两颗红四点，往上 的"三红"是三颗红四点，"对堂"需骰子点数恰好排成1至6的顺子。 "四进"则是四颗相同点数，但四颗红四点除外，为什么呢？因为四颗红四点就是激动人心的"状元"啦！ 不过，"状元"不止这一个骰面组合，像五颗相同点数、五颗红四点，乃至六颗红四点，都属于"状元"序 列，且等级依次递增。 在博饼游戏中，比如十人围坐一桌争抢奖品时，"状元"礼通常只有一份。这就意味着，若有多位玩家都 掷出了不同形态的"状元"，就需要通过比较状元骰面等级来决定大奖花落谁家。 非闽南地区的朋友可能会疑惑，为什么在博饼游戏中，"四"会占据这么重要的位置？ ...
