It is well-known for its unique characteristics as ethnic border areas, ecologically vulnerable areas and poverty-stricken area, which results in its underdevelopment of entirety and comprehensiveness. It is the reason that the party and the government have put a new premium on Linxia County. The Gansu Provincial and the provincial government also have issued the Several Opinions on Supporting Economic and Social Development in Linxia Region to Realize a Leap-Forward Development, giving Linxia the key support for poverty alleviation and priority for development. Linxia County has been restricted by geographical location and natural characteristics for a long time, leading to its poor construction of transportation infrastructure facilities which is badly lagged behind. In particular, the quality of traffic roads leading to remote mountainous areas in the county is terrible, and its availability is not enough either. In recent years, with the gradual implementation of the “The New Silk Road Economic Belt” promoted by the Chinese government and the implementation of the traffic breakthrough action in the Gansu section of the New Silk Road Economic Belt in Linxia, the economic and social development of the county and its districts is at a new a higher starting point due to its unique geographical advantages and the implementation of multi-layered policies. On August 26, 2016, the Sixth Session of the Sixteenth People’s Congress of Linxia County was convened and officially passed the “13th Five-Year Plan” Outline for the National Economic and Social Development of Linxia County (2016-2020). The "Outline" clearly points out that it is necessary to strengthen the infrastructure construction and earnestly improve the development momentum. Based on this, in order to improve the infrastructure conditions in Linxia County, Gansu Province, Linxia County applied for a loan from the World Bank for the construction of the Huaishuguan River poverty alleviation project at Yushu, Linxia 3 Ethnic Minority Development Action Plan County. The project aims to connect the functions of urban area with its of rural areas organically, to improve the regional traffic conditions in the townships around the county, to promote the development and utilization of land around the road, to increase the radiation effect of the economic central city, to exploit the advantages of Linxia County to the full, and eventually leads to a comprehensive development of regional socioeconomics. According to the feasibility study report (FSR) of the project, the total investment of the World Bank to finance infrastructure project for urban and rural development in Linxia County is 158.621 million yuan, including 10 million U.S. dollars for the World Bank loan, equivalent to 68 million yuan, accounting for 42% of the total investment, and 92.621708 million yuan for local matching, which accounts for 58% of the total investment. 1.2 The Project Overview The project is located in the place which is about 406 meters from north of Yintan Hydropower Station. AK0~AK0+700 sections are routed from north to south along the east bank of the Huaishuguan River. AK0+780~AK4+360 are routed along the west bank of the Huaishuguan River. AK4+560~AK13+180 segment was routed along the eastern bank of the Huaishuguan River, and the end point was located along the south bank of the Daxia River in Yinji Town, Linxia County, followed by the Maoniu Road. The technical standards of the secondary road, is 60km/h, and the total length of the route is 13.6km. After the project is completed, it will rely on the road network structure composed of high-grade highways such as Linhe Expressway (S2 line), G213 line, Hezhou Avenue, and Maoniu Road, attracting large volumes of traffic to this road with higher traffic capacity and service levels. The construction of the highway will not only improve the traffic conditions which are leading to Yinji Town and Linxia City in the southern mountainous area of Linxia County, but also upgrade the grades of highways in the south of Linxia County. It has played an irreplaceable role in changing the traffic conditions in the mountainous areas and accelerating the economic development of towns and villages. At the same time, it plays an important role in promoting the integration of urban and rural development in Linxia County by breaking the boundaries between urban and rural areas, paying 4 Ethnic Minority Development Action Plan more attention to rural areas, caring for farmers, supporting agriculture, achieving common urban and rural prosperity. The project construction diagram is shown in Figure 1-1. Figure 1-1 Geographical Position Map of Construction Project 1.3 The Purpose of Minority Development Action Plan The purpose of compiling the Linxia County Ethnic Minority Development Action Plan is to promote the participation of ethnic minorities in the preparation and implementation of the project, to ensure that ethnic minorities can benefit enough from the project, and to improve the poverty situation of the minority population at the same time as much as possible. In addition, it can reduce the negative influence of 5 Ethnic Minority Development Action Plan the project. The Ethnic Minority Development Action Plan will clarify the demographic, social and cultural characteristics of ethnic minority groups in the project area, project needs of ethnic minorities groups, influence of the project on ethnic minority groups, and measures to ensure the fair benefit of minority groups and mitigate any adverse influences, etc. There many measures including improvement of living standards, poverty alleviation, protection of the culture and traditions of ethnic minorities, support of the vulnerable groups, and proposals for mitigating the negative influences. 1.4 The Project

Chilotherium anderssoni is reported for the fi rst time in the Linxia Basin, while Aprotodon sp. is found for the fi rst time in Lower Miocene deposits of the basin. The Late Miocene corresponds to a period of highest diversity with eight species, accompanying very abundant macromammals of the Hipparion fauna. Chilotherium wimani is absolutely dominant in number and present in all sites of MN 10–11 age. Compared with other regions in Eurasia and other ages, elasmotheres are more diversifi ed in the Linxia Basin during the Late Miocene. Coelodonta nihowanensis in the Linxia Basin indicates the known earliest appearance of the woolly rhino. The distribution of the Neogene rhinocerotids in the Linxia Basin can be correlated with paleoclimatic changes.

    Religions of foreign origin have shaped Chinese cultural history much stronger than generally assumed and continue to have impact on Chinese society in varying regional degrees. The essays collected in the present volume put a special emphasis on these “foreign” and less familiar aspects of Chinese religion. Apart from an introductory article on Daoism (the BKGA 85 BKGA Religion in China proto­typical autochthonous religion of China), the volume reflects China’s encounter with religions of the so-called Western Regions, starting from the adoption of Indian Buddhism to early settlements of religious minorities from the Near East (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) and the early modern debates between Confucians and Christian missionaries. Contemporary Major Concepts and religious minorities, their specific social problems, and their regional diversities are discussed in the cases of Abrahamitic traditions in China. The volume therefore contributes to our understanding of most recent and Minority Positions potentially violent religio-political phenomena such as, for instance, Islamist movements in the People’s Republic of China. Religion in China Religion ∙ Max DEEG is Professor of Buddhist Studies at the University of Cardiff. His research interests include in particular Buddhist narratives and their roles for the construction of identity in premodern Buddhist communities.

In arid and semi-arid regions, the salt content in pore solution of loess is relatively high. Rainfall or irrigation can change the water content of loess and induce geological disasters such as loess landslide and loess mud flow. In this paper, Heifangtai, Gansu Province, is chosen as the study site, where is the most typical place of loess landslides. The occurrence of loess landslides is closely related to water, salt. In order to investigate the interaction rules of these three factors, a series of pressure plate apparatus tests and undrained shear tests were conducted on saturated loess, to investigate the degradation mechanism of loess strength caused by the interaction between water and salt.The results showed that: NaCl concentration had a significant effect on the matrix suction, i.e. the water retention capacity of loess sample increased as the increase of NaCl concentration,especially in the boundary effect zone (low suction zone, soil almost saturated), concerning the remolded loess samples having a same dry density.The increase of NaCl concentration in pore water can also lead to the decrease of shear strength of saturated loess, especially for the cohesion.

China *Corresponding author Keywords: Urbanization, Resource environmental carrying capacity, Coordination characteristics, Temporal and spatial patterns, Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration. Abstract. The coordination of urbanization and resources and environment is one of the key issues to promote regional social and economic development. This paper took Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration as the study area, constructed the evaluation index of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity first, and then used entropy method and the coordination degree model to measure the coordination of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity from 2005 to 2017. Results indicate that the overall index of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity of Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration shows an upward trend, and there are obvious spatial differences, especially between Lanzhou and Xining and the surrounding counties. The coordination degree of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity is between [0.5, 0.6), most of the counties are in a state of reluctance coordination, and the spatial distribution law of the degree is high in the east and low in the west. And the regional differences are gradually shrinking. There is a significant positive correlation between urbanization and capacity. The coordination status of Lanzhou and Xining provincial cities is relatively good, and the urbanization level is lower.

However, this growth has not been spread evenly throughout the Public Disclosure Copy country, with growing wealth disparities between the coastal and inland regions and between the urban and rural areas. The Government of China has been addressing this issue by giving priority to economic development in the lagging western and central regions and by providing financial support to transport infrastructure development in rural areas. This development strategy is consistent with the Bank's twin goals to eliminate extreme poverty and promote shared prosperity. 2. Gansu Province (pop. 26 million), located in western China, is the second poorest among China’s 31provinces. About 25 percent of the total population and 40 percent of the rural population in Gansu live below the national poverty line, and 58 out of the 86 counties are included in a national poverty alleviation program.

  • Mongghul, Mangghuer and Beyond: Estimating the Proximity
    Ilya Gruntov†, Olga Mazo‡ † Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences / Yandex, Moscow; [email protected] ‡ Russian State University for the Humanities / Higher School of Economics, Moscow; [email protected] Mongghul, Mangghuer and beyond: estimating the proximity The paperʼs chief goal is to evaluate the intensity of relations between various idioms of Mongolic languages within the Qinghai-Gansu Sprachbund, with special focus on Mangghuer and Mongghul dialects. On the basis of 58 grammatical and phonological shared innovations we attempt to deepen our understanding of the pathways and patterns of lan- guage change taking place in this area. Keywords: Qinghai-Gansu Sprachbund; language contacts; Monguor language; Shirongolic languages; Mangghuer language; Mongghul language; Mongolic languages; shared innova- tions. Mongghul and Mangghuer are two closely related endangered languages of the Mongolic family, spoken in Qinghai and Gansu provinces of China. For a long time they have been gen- erally considered as a single Monguor language with two main dialects. Although the division of these idioms into at least two languages has gradually become accepted among specialists, new linguistic works continue to be published in which both languages are still referred to as Monguor dialects. Our paper is an attempt to clarify and evaluate the intensity of relations between various idioms of QG Mongolic languages with special focus on Mangghuer and Mongghul, and to investigate various isoglosses within these languages. We do not discuss here the peculiarities and features shared by all QG Mongolic languages. The languages of the region belong to the so called Qinghai-Gansu Sprachbund (Yellow River language union, Amdo Sprachbund, the Northwest China Sprachbund, etc., see Dwyer 1992, 1995; Slater 2003a; Janhunen 2007, 2012).
