Continuous rain disasters occur frequently, which seriously affect maize yield. However, the research on predicting continuous rain disasters is very limited. Taking the maize in Henan Province as an example, the Markov model is used to predict the occurrence of continuous rain in the middle growth and late growth stages (flowering and filling stages) of 13 cities in Henan Province. /e results showed that the maize in Henan Province would suffer from continuous rain disaster in 2020 and 2021. Finally, combined with the prediction results, policy recommendations for maize growth in Henan Province are proposed to ensure stable and high yield of maize. 1. Introduction and seedling rot. Autumn crops are in the stage of filling and maturity, and frequent occurrence of rain will seriously Henan Province is an important major grain-producing area affect the yield and quality of crops.

    RSC Advances View Article Online PAPER View Journal | View Issue Panax notoginseng saponins radiosensitize colorectal cancer cells by regulating the SNHG6/ Cite this: RSC Adv.,2019,9,38558 miR-137 axis Caihui Xu,a Teng Liu,b Haiyan Liu,a Gongbin Chena and Yinmou Guo *a Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) have recently attracted great attention for their anti-cancer activity in colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to explore the functional role and underlying mechanisms of PNS on CRC radiosensitivity. Cell viability was assessed by a Cell Counting kit-8 assay. Cell survival and apoptosis were determined using colony formation assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to quantify the levels of SNHG6 and miR-137. The targeted correlation between SNHG6 and miR-137 was validated by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Our data supported that PNS weakened the viability of CRC cells. Moreover, PNS promoted the radiosensitivity of CRC cells. Mechanistically, PNS enhanced CRC cell radiosensitivity Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. by upregulating SNHG6. SNHG6 directly targeted miR-137 and inhibited miR-137 expression. MiR-137 Received 20th September 2019 was involved in the regulatory effect of SNHG6 on CRC cell radiosensitivity. Furthermore, PNS increased Accepted 11th November 2019 miR-137 expression through SNHG6 in CRC cells.

  • Transmission of Han Pictorial Motifs Into the Western Periphery: Fuxi and Nüwa in the Wei-Jin Mural Tombs in the Hexi Corridor*8
    DOI: 10.4312/as.2019.7.2.47-86 47 Transmission of Han Pictorial Motifs into the Western Periphery: Fuxi and Nüwa in the Wei-Jin Mural Tombs in the Hexi Corridor*8 ∗∗ Nataša VAMPELJ SUHADOLNIK 9 Abstract This paper examines the ways in which Fuxi and Nüwa were depicted inside the mu- ral tombs of the Wei-Jin dynasties along the Hexi Corridor as compared to their Han counterparts from the Central Plains. Pursuing typological, stylistic, and iconographic approaches, it investigates how the western periphery inherited the knowledge of the divine pair and further discusses the transition of the iconographic and stylistic design of both deities from the Han (206 BCE–220 CE) to the Wei and Western Jin dynasties (220–316). Furthermore, examining the origins of the migrants on the basis of historical records, it also attempts to discuss the possible regional connections and migration from different parts of the Chinese central territory to the western periphery. On the basis of these approaches, it reveals that the depiction of Fuxi and Nüwa in Gansu area was modelled on the Shandong regional pattern and further evolved into a unique pattern formed by an iconographic conglomeration of all attributes and other physical characteristics. Accordingly, the Shandong region style not only spread to surrounding areas in the central Chinese territory but even to the more remote border regions, where it became the model for funerary art motifs. Key Words: Fuxi, Nüwa, the sun, the moon, a try square, a pair of compasses, Han Dynasty, Wei-Jin period, Shandong, migration Prenos slikovnih motivov na zahodno periferijo: Fuxi in Nüwa v grobnicah s poslikavo iz obdobja Wei Jin na območju prehoda Hexi Izvleček Pričujoči prispevek v primerjalni perspektivi obravnava upodobitev Fuxija in Nüwe v grobnicah s poslikavo iz časa dinastij Wei in Zahodni Jin (220–316) iz province Gansu * The author acknowledges the financial support of the Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS) in the framework of the research core funding Asian languages and Cultures (P6-0243).

  • Hawes.Pdf (390.5Kb)
    Reinterpreting Law in the Song: Zheng Ke’s Commentary to the “Magic Mirror for Deciding Cases” Colin Hawes University of Alberta, Canada One problem facing scholars of Chinese legal history is the lack of authentic pre- modern case materials and judicial interpretations of the law. Though abundant case records from the Qing period have been preserved in historical archives and in comprehensive collections like the Conspectus of Penal Cases (Xing’an huilan 刑案匯 覽), very few such materials from earlier periods have survived.1 The vast majority of legal case records that do survive from the Ming and earlier periods are not verbatim transcripts of actual court judgments but brief summaries recorded in the biographies of eminent judicial officials or imperial edicts and other government documents. These were occasionally collected into legal “casebooks” and published with the aim of helping local magistrates to learn investigative and adjudicative techniques.2 Yet due to their brevity, we cannot always be sure that such case summaries accurately reflect the complete methods and procedures adopted by judges in the courts. Also, because the casebooks generally include judgments from many different periods, and it is not always clear whether they are intended to be positive or negative examples, we cannot rely on them to give a clear and unified picture of the legal system at the time when they were published. These problems limit the usefulness of pre-Qing legal casebooks, and force scholars to make generalizations about pre-modern Chinese legal practices based almost exclusively on evidence from Qing sources.3 There are two ways to salvage something useful for legal scholars from the heterogeneous wreckage of the pre-Qing casebooks.
