    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 8/3/2010 GAIN Report Number: CH0810 China - Peoples Republic of Post: Shanghai ATO Yangzhou City Profile Report Categories: Market Development Reports Approved By: Allan Hallman Prepared By: Leanne Wang Report Highlights: Yangzhou is one of many large internationally unknown cities that dot the country surrounding Shanghai. As costs in Shanghai rise, these cities are becoming the focus of new growth. Their distribution systems are developing, making large-scale import foods more practical. Yangzhou restaurant businesses have maintained a double digit rate of growth over the past ten years. While international retailers have opened more than a dozen stores in Yangzhou, imported product penetration is still in its infancy. Ready-to-eat products such as snack food, fruits and cookies dominate the market. With appropriate promotion, training and education events, more U.S. products could be accepted in the market. Introduction: The city of Yangzhou has been renowned throughout its 2,500-year history for its cultural and agricultural prosperity。 The Wu rulers had canals dug here in 500 BC which were later incorporated into the Grand Canal. Because of its position at the junction of the Yangtze, the Grand Canal and the Huaihe River, Yangzhou rapidly developed into a prosperous city. Many foreign merchants, including a community from Persia, lived and traded here, leaving a twelfth century mosque and the much-quoted but unsubstantiated tale that Marco Polo governed the city for three years.

  • The Old Master
    INTRODUCTION Four main characteristics distinguish this book from other translations of Laozi. First, the base of my translation is the oldest existing edition of Laozi. It was excavated in 1973 from a tomb located in Mawangdui, the city of Changsha, Hunan Province of China, and is usually referred to as Text A of the Mawangdui Laozi because it is the older of the two texts of Laozi unearthed from it.1 Two facts prove that the text was written before 202 bce, when the first emperor of the Han dynasty began to rule over the entire China: it does not follow the naming taboo of the Han dynasty;2 its handwriting style is close to the seal script that was prevalent in the Qin dynasty (221–206 bce). Second, I have incorporated the recent archaeological discovery of Laozi-related documents, disentombed in 1993 in Jishan District’s tomb complex in the village of Guodian, near the city of Jingmen, Hubei Province of China. These documents include three bundles of bamboo slips written in the Chu script and contain passages related to the extant Laozi.3 Third, I have made extensive use of old commentaries on Laozi to provide the most comprehensive interpretations possible of each passage. Finally, I have examined myriad Chinese classic texts that are closely associated with the formation of Laozi, such as Zhuangzi, Lüshi Chunqiu (Spring and Autumn Annals of Mr. Lü), Han Feizi, and Huainanzi, to understand the intellectual and historical context of Laozi’s ideas. In addition to these characteristics, this book introduces several new interpretations of Laozi.

  • 7070 the E-Pang Palace
    7070 The E-pang Palace E-pang Palace was built in Qin dynasty by Emperor Qin Shihuang in Xianyang, Shanxi Province. It was the largest palace ever built by human. It was so large and so magnificent that after many years of construction, it still was not completed. Building the great wall, E-pang Palace and Qin Shihuang’s tomb cost so much labor and human lives that people rose to fight against Qin Shihuang’s regime. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were two rebel leaders at that time. Liu Bang captured Xianyang — the capital of Qin. Xiang Yu was very angry about this, and he commanded his army to march to Xianyang. Xiang Yu was the bravest and the strongest warrior at that time, and his army was much more than Liu Bang’s. So Liu Bang was frighten and retreated from Xianyang, leaving all treasures in the grand E-pang Palace untouched. When Xiang Yu took Xianyang, he burned E-pang Palce. The fire lasted for more than three months, renouncing the end of Qin dynasty. Several years later, Liu Bang defeated Xiangyu and became the first emperor of Han dynasty. He went back to E-pang Palace but saw only some pillars left. Zhang Liang and Xiao He were Liu Bang’s two most important ministers, so Liu Bang wanted to give them some awards. Liu Bang told them: “You guys can make two rectangular fences in E-pang Palace, then the land inside the fences will belongs to you. But the corners of the rectangles must be the pillars left on the ground, and two fences can’t cross or touch each other.” To simplify the problem, E-pang Palace can be consider as a plane, and pillars can be considered as points on the plane.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The purpose of the paper is to study the influence of WeChat official accounts of scenic spots under the background of smart tourism, so that we can help scenic spots know the existing problems in marketing and improve their online marketing methods. The extant kinds of literature rarely involve the influence of touristic WeChat accounts. Therefore, this paper chose 24 5A smart scenic spots’ WeChat official accounts and made a comparative study of them to analyze the influence. We collected the data on 24 5A smart scenic spots in Jiangsu province and evaluated and ranked their influence based on factor analysis. It is found that WeChat official accounts of 24 scenic spots display uneven influence and their gap is clear-cut.
