"How does China feed its one billion people?" (Susan Ember) is a lesson plan that seeks to make students aware of the dilemma of food supply and shortages in poor, underdeveloped countries. "The history, geography, and language of China," (Dennis D. Smith) provides middle school teachers with a resource guide for the delivery of an exploratory unit of China. "China Connection: A computer simulation game" (Patricia Wasley and Micki Maisson) presents a sample of each of the component parts of a computer simulation game designed to encourage higher level thinking skills and greater global understanding while teams of students engage in simulated travel through four cities in China via the computer. Sections from the teacher's travel guidebook, the student's travel guidebook, and from information contained in the computer are included in order to demonstrate how the game works.

THE HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY AND LANGUAGE OF CHINA An Interdisciplinary Unit For Middle Grades Students t, C. Presented to: Denis D. Smith National Committee IC on U.S./China Relations New York, N.Y. C. s RATICNALE The purpose of this unit is to provide middleschool teachers a resource guide for thedelivery of an exploratory unit on China. By definition, exploratories are six to nine weekexcursions by teachers into topics that are of high interest to students,but which also are, in many cases, outside of a teacher's regular assignment area. FCT example, an exploratory class on Chinese culture, history, geography, and language could be taught tofifth or even eighth graders by a math teacherwith no formal training inChinese history or language.The only qualification for a math teacher (or other non-social science types) would be an eagerness to learn with the students

  • Study on the Linear Absent Section Ratio (L-ASR) of Earthen Sites And
    Du et al. Herit Sci (2021) 9:103 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40494-021-00582-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Study on the linear absent section ratio (L‑ASR) of earthen sites and anthropogenic infuence from the perspective of population density Yumin Du1,2* , Wenwu Chen3, Kai Cui4, Wenqiang Dong1,2, Shuai Zhang3 and Qiyong Zhang3 Abstract Having extremely high artistic, scientifc and social values, earthen sites are widely distributed in China and are impor- tant human cultural relic resources. Due to accumulated natural erosions (from rain and wind) and human activi- ties (destructive activities of human beings in history and modern times), however, earthen sites have been greatly damaged, and many sections have even been absent, so that they are seriously threatened by extinction. Under these circumstances, acquiring the conservation status of earthen sites is a vital prerequisite for the subsequent targeted protection. In this paper, as a world-renowned heritage site, the castles of the Ming Great Wall located in Qinghai Province were selected as the research object. A novel indicator, namely the linear absent section ratio (L-ASR), was proposed, and its value was classifed into fve levels to quantitatively characterize the specifc conservation status of such sites, including excellent (E) (0–10%), good (G) (10–25%), fair (F) (25–50%), poor (P) (50–75%), and very poor (VP) (75–100%). Based on the assessment results, the castles with excellent status constituted the minimum proportion, while the castles with very poor status represented the largest percentage, refecting the grave situation of earthen sites. Furthermore, by applying population distribution models to the linear ftting combined with the population density (PD), a positive correlation between PD and L-ASR was obtained to reveal the anthropogenic infuence on the destruction of earthen sites.

  • 2 Bounded Empires
    Bounded Empires: Ecological and Geographic Implications in Sino- Tangut Relations, 960-1127 By Rocco Bowman he Tangut Western Xia empire, a state built by semi-nomadic migrants, and the Northern Song (960-1127) shared a dynamic century upon the stage of northwest China.* Though T major war broke out in 1038 and 1069, organized military conflict was only one way in which either side jockeyed for power, economic advantage, and loyalty; empire building resulted from carefully planned statecraft. However, both empires found expansion upon or beyond the crumbling, eroding Loess Plateau and the harsh Ordos Desert to be extremely difficult. Winning territory and subjects in the region became a quagmire, forcing the empires not only to defensively adapt internal state institutions in significant ways but to realize the bounds of their respective imperiums.1 The politically savvy Tang Dynasty helped create the circumstances for the consolidation of nomadic power in the north, but one dynasty’s successful policies are another’s “nomad problem.” Tang emperors ameliorated mounted incursions from the Mongolian steppe by allying with peoples who could fight on equal terms, creating a military buffer; however, the rise of the centralized, Confucian Song state engendered antagonisms between these two previously cooperative regions. Here, Sino-Tangut history enters an era of frantic activity. This dynamic interaction was not so much the result of a shared border in which culturally distinct populations vied for supremacy but quite the opposite—an unsettled, ecologically vague borderland with equally diverse populations embracing competing loyalties. Imperial logic and prerogative were clear motivators in the conquest of cities and trade routes; however, the ecology and geography of the Loess Plateau within the Yellow River (hereafter referred to as the Ordos Loop, consisting of the land circumscribed by the Yellow and Wei Rivers) presented particularly unique advantages, disadvantages, and cultural perceptions which aided and fettered imperial projects.

  • Yokohama, July 2018
    The 18th International Planning History Society Conference - Yokohama, July 2018 Emergence, Evolution and Mutation: Interpretation of the Orderly Distribution of pre-modern Settlement in the Great Wall zone based on Complex Adaptive System theory Haoyan Zhang* * PhD, School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Suzhou University of Science and Technology, China , [email protected] The Great Wall zone represents the largest area of land-use and land-cover change in China in the past 300 years, when the borders of agricultural production and settlement continued to move northward, forming the pattern of settlements we see today, realizing its transition from wartime to peacetime. Instead of focusing on the development of individual urban, how can we understand the evolution essence of settlement system, located in the transition zone between agriculture and animal husbandry, from the perspective of complex system? In this article, the distribution pattern can be considered as a spatial projection of region social order. Then, the fractal dimension of settlement distribution is calculated by GIS, so as to demonstrate the complexity of pattern. And then, characteristics and mechanisms of the settlement system in the Great Wall area during Ming and Qing Dynasties is further analyzed from 7 basic points of Complex Adaptive System. Finally, the idea of attracting basin can be used to make a further description about the process of evolution, namely structural break and non-structural evolution. Keywords: settlement system, the Great Wall zone, generation and evolution, complex adaptive system theory. Introduction The area, where the Great Wall is located, lies in the transitional zone between the humid and arid regions in Northern China.

  • A History of the Great Wall of China by Luo Zhewen
    A History of the Great Wall of China by Luo Zhewen Huge construction project, wonder of the world The Great Wall winds its way westward over the vast territory of China from the bank of the Yalu River and ends at the foot of snow-covered Qilianshan and Tianshan (mountains). It climbs steep mountains and cuts across pasturelands and deserts. A most massive barrier, it involves difficult engineering work and has a very long history. It is seldom that we see such a gigantic project in China or elsewhere in the world. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period each principality in China constructed its own great wall at various strategic places to defend itself from rivals. The Great Wall is different from ordinary city walls in that it extends itself continuously for miles and does not encircle a city. In early days many a great wall had been built -- north, east, west and south -- over the vast territory of China. Each stretches several hundred h in length. The Chinese name Chang Cheng or long wall came into existence because of its length. Chang Cheng (Great Wall), which extends through North China, is very magnificent. Every time the Great Wall was reconstructed --in Qin, Han and Ming Dynasties -- its length exceeded 5,000 km (10,000 li). Hence the name Wan Li Chang Cheng or the long wall of 10,000 li. Actually, the long wall of 10,000 li is more than its stated length. The Great Wall reconstructed during the Ming Dynasty alone exceeds 7,300 km in length.
