The Ma administration is presenting ECFA as a solution to Taiwan’s economic woes, and says it will prevent Taiwan from being margi- nalized.

This emphasis is encapsulated in populist slogans such as “putting people first” (yiren weiben) and “building a harmonious society” (goujian hexie shehui). At a systemic level, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has declared that it is no longer a “revolutionary” but rather a “ruling party” that needs to modernize and adjust its systems of management (CCP Central Committee 2005).

The project had become bogged down in bickering and Magistrate Tian turned for help to the retired Minister of War, Xinchang native Lii Guangxun, and a group of eminent locals. Lii and the others quickly resolved the problems and soon thereafter the gazetteer was published. The gazetteer's prefaces are unusually detailed and provide a list of contributors. By examining the contributors' mutual relationships, the compilation process, and the final product, we can open windows not only on the construction of history in Ming China, but also on the meaning of kinship and the roles played by extended families in local society.

  • The Necklace As a Divine Symbol and As a Sign of Dignity in the Old Norse Conception
    MARIANNE GÖRMAN The Necklace as a Divine Symbol and as a Sign of Dignity in the Old Norse Conception Introduction In the last century a wooden sculpture, 42 cm tall, was found in a small peat-bog at Rude-Eskildstrup in the parish of Munke Bjergby near Soro in Denmark. (Picture 1) The figure was found standing right up in the peat with its head ca. 30 cm below the surface. The sculpture represents a sit- ting man, dressed in a long garment with two crossed bands on its front. His forehead is low, his eyes are tight, his nose is large, and he wears a moustache and a pointed chin-beard. Part of his right arm is missing, while his left arm is undamaged. On his knee he holds an object resembling a bag. Around his neck he wears a robust trisected necklace.1 At the bottom the sculpture is finished with a peg, which indicates that it was once at- tached to a base, which is now missing (Mackeprang 1935: 248-249). It is regarded as an offering and is usually interpreted as depicting a Nordic god or perhaps a priest (Holmqvist 1980: 99-100; Ström 1967: 65). The wooden sculpture from Rude-Eskildstrup is unique of its kind. But his characteristic trisected necklace is of the same type as three famous golden collars from Västergötland and Öland. The sculpture as well as the golden necklaces belong to the Migration Period, ca. 400-550 A.D. From this period of our prehistory we have the most frequent finds of gold, and very many of the finds from this period are neck-ornaments.

  • Governing Bandits by Military Law” in the Early Republic of China and Its Influence
    2020 International Conference on Economics, Education and Social Research (ICEESR 2020) Jiangsu Governors' Strategy of “Governing Bandits by Military Law” in the Early Republic of China and Its Influence Wei Liu School of History and Culture, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China Keywords: Early republic of china, Military law, Banditry, Jiangsu Abstract: In ancient China, legal provisions of punishing military crimes were included in the common law. At the end of Qing Dynasty, the Trial of Military Crimes in Army was issued; there was a special law to judge the crimes committed by soldiers. In the early years of the Republic of China, Dequan Cheng, the governor of Jiangsu Province, authorized county magistrates to concurrently serve as the military judge, and brought the cases of banditry into the scope of “military law”. Since then, the “military law” continuously encroached the authority of ordinary jurisdiction and seriously damaged the judicial independence. 1. Introduction In ancient China, “military law” was a kind of law specially punishing military crimes, which was rarely applied to civilians. In the late Qing Dynasty, the military law was separated from the common law. In the period of the Republic of China, the jurisdiction of military law trial continued to expand and gradually occupied the space of ordinary jurisdiction. From “governing the army by military law” to “governing bandits by military law”, Dequan Cheng, the governor of Jiangsu Province in the early Republic of China, was the initiator. 2. Independence of Military Law in Late Qing Dynasty Before the Republic of China, there was no separate military law; legal provisions punishing military crimes were included in the common law.

  • Bureaucracy and Law a Study of Chinese Criminal Courts and Social Media
    BUREAUCRACY AND LAW A STUDY OF CHINESE CRIMINAL COURTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA A dissertation presented by Yu Zhang to The School of Criminology and Criminal Justice In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of Criminology and Criminal Justice Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts August, 2014 1 BUREAUCRACY AND LAW A STUDY OF CHINESE CRIMINAL COURTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA by Yu Zhang ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Criminology and Justice Policy in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University August, 2014 2 Abstract Born in a firmly-rooted bureaucratic society, Chinese judiciary has never gained the opportunity to build its own identity. Concurrently, Chinese people, immersed in a bureaucratic culture, always pin their dream of justice on a powerful bureaucracy rather on a weak judiciary. The current study discusses the thousands years of Chinese history and the significant impact of bureaucracy on Chinese society and courts, and then look into the potential change in a global era revolutionized with technology and internet. A story-telling mode is used to analyze eleven important criminal cases to disclose the operations of criminal courts in China. Large amount of social media data are presented to showcase the dynamic legal community and online activism. We do not know exactly the impact of government monitoring of the social media and it is an open question. Chinese online legal activism derives its methods and vitality from multiple and intersecting forces, including the particular internet transmitting formats, actual contemporary protest forms, incipient public space promotion.

  • History of the Fan
    History Of The Fan By George Woolliscroft Rhead History Of The Fan CHAPTER I THE ORIGIN AND USES OF THE FAN IN the beginning, before the human advent, when the earth was peopled only by the Immortals, a bright son was born to Aurora, whose soft and agreeable breath was as honey in the mouth of the gods, and the beating of whose gossamer wings imparted a delicious coolness to the air, moderating the heat of summer, and providing the first suggestion of, and occasion for, the dainty little plaything we have under consideration, somewhat waggishly described as a kind of wind instrument, not, perhaps, so much to be played upon as to be played with, and invaluable as assisting to follow out the wisest of the Sage’s maxims when he bids us keep cool. This delicate toy, this airy creation of gauze, ivory, and paint, frail and fragile almost as the flowers kissed by Aurora’s son, endowed apparently with the gift of perpetual youth, may claim a lineage older than the Pyramids; having its origin and being in the infancy of the world, before the birth of history, in that golden age when life was a perpetual summer, and care was not, when all was concord and harmony, and old age, long protracted, was dissolved in a serene slumber, and wafted to the mansions of the gods, the regions of eternal love and enjoyment. It was in these halcyon days that the human family sat in its palm groves, which afforded not only refreshing shade, during the hours when the sun is at its height, but also provided the precursor of this ‘Servant of Zephyrus’—serving further to temper those beams which are the source of all life, and light, and music, for are not all the learned agreed with the late Mr.
