By the end of 2017, the total population of Shandong was 100,058,300. By December 31, 2017, Shandong Province had jurisdiction over 17 prefecture-level cities including Ji’nan, Qingdao, Zibo, Zaozhuang, Dongying, Yantai, Weifang, Ji’ning, Tai'an, Weihai, Rizhao, Laiwu, Linyi, Dezhou, Liaocheng, Binzhou and Heze, covering 137 county-level units and 1,824 township-level administrative units. Geological resources [Location & area] Shandong Province is located on the eastern coast of China and the lower reaches of the Yellow River, between 34°22.9′~38°24.01′N and 114°47.5′~122°42.3′E. The territory is composed of the peninsula and inland. The Shandong Peninsula stands out in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, facing the Liaodong Peninsula. The inland part is bordered by Hebei, He’nan, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces from the north to the south. The territory is about 420km long from north to south and around 700km wide from east to west, with a total area of 157,100km2, accounting for 1.64% of the total area of China, The capital of Shandong Province is Ji’nan. [Terrain & landform] The terrain of the province is composed of mountains in the center and basins and plains in the northwest and the northwest, forming a landform of mountainous & hills as the skeleton and the plains & basins interlaced. The mountain area accounts for 15.5% of the total area of the province, hills 13.2%, plains 55%, lowlands 4.1%, lakes & plains 4.4%, and others 7.8%. [Rivers & lakes] Shandong has a developed waters system. The average density of natural rivers is more than 0.7km/km2. There are more than 1,500 rivers with main streams measuring over 10km in length, of which more than 300 enter the sea in Shandong. [Coast & sea area] The offshore sea area of the province is 170,000km2, accounting for 37% of the total area of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. In the offshore sea area, there are more than 20 natural harbors and 299 islands, with a total area of 147km2, the largest of which is Nanchangshan Island in the Miaodao Islands, covering an area of 12km2.

Tell us once, where you will begin. In a place where there are already Christians? or where there are none? Where there are Christians you come too late. The English, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish control a good part of the farthest seacoast. Where then? . In China only recently the Tartars mercilessly murdered the Christians and their preachers. Will you go there? Where then, you honest Germans? . Dear Justinian, stop dreaming, lest Satan deceive you in a dream! Admonition to Justinian von Weltz, Protestant missionary in Latin America, from Johann H. Ursinius, Lutheran Superintendent at Regensburg (1664)1 When China was ruled by the Han and Jin dynasties, the Germans were still living as savages in the jungles. In the Chinese Six Dynasties period they only managed to create barbarian tribal states. During the medieval Dark Ages, as war raged for a thousand years, the [German] people could not even read and write. Our China, however, that can look back on a unique five-thousand-year-old culture, is now supposed to take advice [from Germany], contrite and with its head bowed. What a shame! 2 KANG YOUWEI, “Research on Germany’s Political Development” (1906) Germans in Colonial Kiaochow,3 1897–1904 During the 1860s the Germans began discussing the possibility of obtaining a coastal entry point from which they could expand inland into China.

It is also the only channel for the transportation of materials from the Yellow River to the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. The supply of suspended sediment from the Bohai Sea plays a decisive role in the evolution of the mud area in the northern Yellow Sea and even the muddy area in the southern Yellow Sea. Previous studies have demonstrated that sediment exchange through the Bohai Strait occurs mainly in winter, but due to the lack of long-term observational data, changes in the sediment flux over multiple years have not been studied. In this paper, based on L1B data from the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) -Aqua satellite, an interannual time series of the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) at each depth layers in the Bohai Strait in winter was established through 16 cruises that benefited from the complete vertical mixing water in the strait in winter.

  • Innovation Efficiency Research of Shandong Province Under Innovation-Driven Strategy
    Advances in Engineering Research, volume 173 4th Workshop on Advanced Research and Technology in Industry Applications (WARTIA 2018) Innovation Efficiency Research of Shandong Province under Innovation-driven Strategy Lei Wang Shandong Transport Vocational College, Weifang, Shandong, 261000, China Email:[email protected] Keywords: Innovation-driven Strategy, Innovation Efficiency Abstract: Innovation is the source of a nation’s power, and the proposition of innovation strategy has guided the direction for national economic development. As to Shandong Province, how to enhance the provincial comprehensive strength and improve innovation efficiency is a problem worth discussion. Analyzing innovation input and output of Shandong Province during last five years, there is still redundancy and relaxation existed. This analysis fully reflects the execution and popularity of innovation strategy in Shandong, but there are still spaces for improvement of innovation efficiency. There has been a long-standing phenomenon of unbalance of economic developments in various regions within Shandong Province, but the fundamental cause is that the innovation ability and efficiency varies from one region to another. Therefore, innovation ability is the most competitive inner power of a city or a region. It is clearly proposed at the 18th Party Congress that “to implement an innovation-driven development strategy and to place innovation at the core of the country's overall development”. Since the year 2013, Shandong Province has been initiatively transforming economic development mode, which has achieved certain accomplishments, and the comprehensive innovation ability has been ranked to top six in China, at the same time there have been gradual improvements at various aspects with the innovation-driven strategy of transformation reform.

  • Land-Use Efficiency in Shandong (China)
    sustainability Article Land-Use Efficiency in Shandong (China): Empirical Analysis Based on a Super-SBM Model Yayuan Pang and Xinjun Wang * Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 20 November 2020; Accepted: 14 December 2020; Published: 18 December 2020 Abstract: A reasonable evaluation of land-use efficiency is an important issue in land use and development. By using a super-SBM model, the construction and cultivated land-use efficiency of 17 cities in Shandong from 2006 to 2018 were estimated and the spatial-temporal variation was analyzed. The results showed that: (1) The land use efficiency levels were quite different, and low-efficiency cities impacted the overall development process. (2) The efficiency values of construction land generally fluctuated and rose, meaning that room remains for future efficiency improvements. Cultivated land generally showed a high utilization efficiency, but it fluctuated and decreased. (3) The construction land-use efficiency was highest in the midland region, especially in Laiwu city, followed by the eastern region and Qingdao city, and the western region. The spatial variation in cultivated land presented a trend of “high in the middle, low in the periphery,” centered on Jinan and Yantai city. (4) Pure technical efficiency was the main restriction driving inefficient utilization in the western region, while scale efficiency played that role in the east. Based on the findings, policy suggestions were proposed to improve the land-use efficiency in Shandong and promote urban sustainable development. Keywords: land use; efficiency level; super-SBM model; Shandong Province; construction land; cultivated land 1.

    On the Periphery of a Great “Empire”: Secondary Formation of States and Their Material Basis in the Shandong Peninsula during the Late Bronze Age, ca. 1000-500 B.C.E Minna Wu Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMIBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 @2013 Minna Wu All rights reserved ABSTRACT On the Periphery of a Great “Empire”: Secondary Formation of States and Their Material Basis in the Shandong Peninsula during the Late Bronze-Age, ca. 1000-500 B.C.E. Minna Wu The Shandong region has been of considerable interest to the study of ancient China due to its location in the eastern periphery of the central culture. For the Western Zhou state, Shandong was the “Far East” and it was a vast region of diverse landscape and complex cultural traditions during the Late Bronze-Age (1000-500 BCE). In this research, the developmental trajectories of three different types of secondary states are examined. The first type is the regional states established by the Zhou court; the second type is the indigenous Non-Zhou states with Dong Yi origins; the third type is the states that may have been formerly Shang polities and accepted Zhou rule after the Zhou conquest of Shang. On the one hand, this dissertation examines the dynamic social and cultural process in the eastern periphery in relation to the expansion and colonization of the Western Zhou state; on the other hand, it emphasizes the agency of the periphery during the formation of secondary states by examining how the polities in the periphery responded to the advances of the Western Zhou state and how local traditions impacted the composition of the local material assemblage which lay the foundation for the future prosperity of the regional culture.
