  • Conceptualizing the Blue Frontier: the Great Qing and the Maritime World
    Conceptualizing the Blue Frontier: The Great Qing and the Maritime World in the Long Eighteenth Century Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultüt der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg Vorgelegt von Chung-yam PO Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Harald Fuess Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Joachim Kurtz Datum: 28 June 2013 Table of Contents Abstract 2 Acknowledgments 3 Emperors of the Qing Dynasty 5 Map of China Coast 6 Introduction 7 Chapter 1 Setting the Scene 43 Chapter 2 Modeling the Sea Space 62 Chapter 3 The Dragon Navy 109 Chapter 4 Maritime Customs Office 160 Chapter 5 Writing the Waves 210 Conclusion 247 Glossary 255 Bibliography 257 1 Abstract Most previous scholarship has asserted that the Qing Empire neglected the sea and underestimated the worldwide rise of Western powers in the long eighteenth century. By the time the British crushed the Chinese navy in the so-called Opium Wars, the country and its government were in a state of shock and incapable of quickly catching-up with Western Europe. In contrast with such a narrative, this dissertation shows that the Great Qing was in fact far more aware of global trends than has been commonly assumed. Against the backdrop of the long eighteenth century, the author explores the fundamental historical notions of the Chinese maritime world as a conceptual divide between an inner and an outer sea, whereby administrators, merchants, and intellectuals paid close and intense attention to coastal seawaters. Drawing on archival sources from China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and the West, the author argues that the connection between the Great Qing and the maritime world was complex and sophisticated.

  • Syllabus (Updated March 28, 2018)
    HIEA 144: Mapping Rivers in Modern Chinese History Syllabus (Updated March 28, 2018) Instructor Name: Peter Braden Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Monday/Friday 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Geisel Library Data/GIS lab (2F) Term: Spring 2018 Class Meeting Days/Hours/Location: Monday/Wednesday/Friday, 1:00-1:50 p.m., CSB004 Course Description Rivers and landscapes reflect the goals, anxieties, and capabilities of the humans who interact with them. Maps allow us to understand and analyze these relationships. To practice analyzing how rivers and Chinese society have shaped each other, this course begins with the present day and works backward toward the 19th century. This unusual perspective will help us to see the world as it is, and ask how it got this way. Beginning with today’s massive and controversial Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River, we will look at hydro-engineering projects in the People’s Republic of China since 1949. We will trace the roots of these schemes to the state-building efforts of the Nationalist government in the early 20th century, which arose from water control in China’s last dynasty, the Qing. In addition to scholarly readings and translated texts, we will use ArcGIS mapping software to ask and attempt to answer questions about the interactions between humans and hydrology. How has the relationship between the Chinese state and rivers changed during the last two centuries? Have rivers and people ever been able to coexist? How? Learning Outcomes By the end of our course, you will be able to: 1) Compare and appraise authors’ depictions of the relationships between rivers and China’s recent ecological, economic, social, and military history 2) Use evidence to make arguments about the relationships between societies and their environment 3) Evaluate textual and quantitative data: what can we do with it, and where should we be cautious? 4) Plan and execute a piece of original research to answer a question that interests you.

River channel-form and lateral shifting in a dynamic, partly meandering and partly braided reach of the lower Yellow River, have been significantly influenced by construction of Sanmenxia Dam in 1960, Liujiaxia Dam in 1968, Longyangxia Dam in 1985 and Xiaolangdi Dam in 1997. Using observations from Huayuankou Station, 128 km downstream of Xiaolangdi Dam, this study examines changes in the river before and after construction of the dams.

Philip M. Fearnside(1) National Institute for Research in the Amazon (INPA), Manaus, Brazil Summary. -- China's plans for the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangzi River are a focus of controversy both inside and outside of China. The dam is one of the "Fatal Five" World Bank projects criticized by environmental groups in the United States. The dam entails strategic, social and cultural costs that go far beyond its substantial monetary price. Strategic vulnerability is a major concern. The consequences would be catastrophic should the dam fail as a result of warfare, earthquakes, or other causes. Resettlement of population displaced by the reservoir, especially farmers, presents a formidable obstacle in the mountainous and already-crowded land around the reservoir site. Resettlement could affect minority groups if population is moved to border areas. The reservoir would sacrifice cultural landmarks holding great significance for many Chinese. Erosion and reservoir siltation may impede navigation within a few years, and in the longer term will reduce storage volume, thereby reducing power generation and flood control effectiveness.

  • China's Past, China's Future Energy, Food, Environment
    China’s Past, China’s Future China has a population of 1.3 billion people, which puts strain on her natural resources. This volume, by one of the leading scholars on the earth’s biosphere, is the result of a lifetime of study on China, and provides the fullest account yet of the environmental challenges that China faces. The author examines China’s energy resources, their uses, impacts and prospects, from the 1970s oil crisis to the present day, before analyzing the key question of how China can best produce enough food to feed its enormous population. In answering this question the entire food chain – the environmental setting, post-harvest losses, food processing, access to food and actual nutritional requirements – is examined, as well as the most effective methods of agricultural management. The final chapters focus upon the dramatic cost to the country’s environment caused by China’s rapid industrialization. The widespread environ- mental problems discussed include: • water and air pollution • water shortage • soil erosion • deforestation • desertification • loss of biodiversity In conclusion, Smil argues that the decline of the Chinese ecosystem and environ- mental pollution has cost China about 10 per cent of her annual GDP. This book provides the best available synthesis on the environmental conse- quences of China’s economic reform program, and will prove essential reading to scholars with an interest in China and the environment. Vaclav Smil is Distinguished Professor in the Faculty of Environment, University of Manitoba, Canada. He is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading authorities on the biosphere and China’s environment.

  • Managing Soil Erosion on the Loess Plateau of China to Control Sediment Transport in the Yellow River-A Geomorphic Perspective
    12th ISCO Conference Beijing 2002 Managing Soil Erosion on the Loess Plateau of China to Control Sediment Transport in the Yellow River-A Geomorphic Perspective Brian Finlayson Centre for Environmental Applied Hydrology School of Anthropology, Geography and Environmental Studies The University of Melbourne Victoria, Australia, 3010 E-mail:[email protected] Abstract: A key part of the strategy to manage the problems of flooding and sedimentation of the lower Yellow River in China is the control of soil erosion on the loess plateau. Land use practices are assumed to be the root cause of the high sediment yield and therefore able to be controlled. An analysis of the geomorphology of the loess plateau region shows that there are natural causes of high sediment yield. Loess is a highly erodible material, and the zonal distribution in China of the climatic factors which maximise erosion shows that the loess plateau is located where the potential for erosion, particularly of coarse sediment, is at a maximum. This area would be a zone of high soil erosion even if there were no loess present. Convex slope profiles are the predominant slope form in this landscape such that farming practices are confined to the plateau surface and the gentler upper slopes of the convex profiles. The lower ends of the convex slopes are too steep for farming and are often near vertical. These are therefore the locations of highest sediment production and are little affected by land use activities. Changes to the social and economic basis of agriculture in China over the past 20 years have caused an increase in pressure on land resources and it is unlikely that farmers will manage their land to control sediment yield unless this also increases productivity.
