2020 ICM Problem D Contest Results 2020 Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling® Press Release—April 24, 2020 COMAP is pleased to announce the results of the 22nd annual that limit the ability to reach this safe level and ways to more Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM). This year 7203 teams equitably distribute causes and effects. The F Problem asked students representing institutions from sixteen countries/regions participated in to create an international policy that would address the resettlement the contest. Eighteen teams were designated as OUTSTANDING needs of environmentally displaced persons (those whose homelands representing the following schools: are lost to climate change) while also preserving the cultural heritage of those peoples. This problem required students to evaluate cultural Beijing Forestry University, China significance as well as understand geopolitical issues surrounding Beijing Normal University, China refugees. For all three problems, teams used pertinent data and Brown University, RI, USA (Rachel Carson Award) grappled with how phenomena internal and external to the system Capital University of Economics and Business, China needed to be considered and measured. The student teams produced Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, China creative and relevant solutions to these complex questions and built Donghua University, China models to handle the tasks assigned in the problems. The problems Nanjing University of Posts & Telecommunications, China also required data analysis, creative modeling, and scientific New York University, NY, USA methodology, along with effective writing and visualization to Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China (INFORMS Award) communicate their teams' results in a 20-page report. A selection of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, China the Outstanding solution papers will be featured in The UMAP South China University of Technology, China Journal, along with commentaries from the problem authors and University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, China judges. This year’s judges remarked that due to the multi-disciplinary University of International Business and Economics, China nature of the problems, teams solved these problems using a variety The College of William & Mary, VA, USA of methods and tools. This allowed teams to showcase their strengths (COMAP Scholarship Award & Leonhard Euler Award) in many diverse areas including climate science, cooperative systems, Xi'an Jiaotong University, China (3) cultural preservation, data science, ecology, environmental science, (INFORMS Award 2009139, COMAP Scholarship Award & international relations, networks, operations research, policy, political Vilfredo Pareto Award 2013772) science, sports analytics, statistics, and sustainability.

  • Buddhist Initiatives for Social Well-Being in Chinese History, with Special Reference to Modern Exponents of Humanistic Buddhism
    Buddhist Initiatives for Social Well-Being in Chinese History, With Special Reference to Modern Exponents of Humanistic Buddhism By Darui Long ABSTRACT It was in the 1920s that Venerable Taixu introduced his notions on Humanistic Buddhism and called for a reform movement in Chinese Buddhism. The present paper traces briefly the historical background for his eloquent call for such a transformation. The first section touches on how Chinese Buddhists were involved in social well-being in the past. The second section traces how and why Buddhism declined in the last six hundred years due to the restraint imposed on Buddhism by emperors. The third section deals with views of Venerables Taixu, Cihang, and Yinshun on the restoration of Buddhist tradition to make contributions to social well-being. The last section examines the trend that Chinese Buddhists follow in regard to social well-being, with an in-depth analysis of the role and impact of Venerable Grand Master Hsing Yun. The Chinese Buddhist Tradition in Social Well-Being From the early time when Buddhism was introduced into China, Buddhists showed their compassion for the suffering people and made endeavors to aid the poor, the sick and even the environment. They were involved in many activities for social well-being. According to the earliest records in the end of Eastern Han dynasty (around third century CE), a temple in Xuzhou in current Jiangsu Province offered food when monks held ceremonies to wash the image of the Buddha. Thousands of people came to observe the ceremony and shared the food. This earliest record showed that Buddhists would offer food to the people on the day they celebrated the birthday of the Buddha.

  • Li Shangyin: the Poetry of Allusion
    LI SHANGYIN: THE POETRY OF ALLUSION By TERESA YEE-WAH YU B.A., The University of Hong Kong, 1973 M.A., The University of British Columbia, 1977 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Asicin Studies) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA August 1990 (o) Teresa Yee-wah Yu, 1990 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. 1 further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT A major poet of the Tang period, Li Shangyin is highly regarded yet criticized because his work is densely allusive. Dazzling and rich in meaning, it is also difficult and obscure because of its pervasive allusiveness. Chapter I reviews critical opinion of Li's use of allusion. Many traditional critics see allusion as an ornamental rhetorical device and consider Li's profuse allusiveness an idiosyncrasy to be tolerated in an esteemed poet. Chapter II studies allusion broadly and precisely as a literary concept: generally, allusion is a "connector" of texts, a link between a poet's work and his literary heritage; specifi• cally, it is a linguistic device serving metaphorical functions.

  • Buddhist Medicines in Chinese Literature
    Buddhist Medicines in Chinese Literature By Darui Long ABSTRACT Buddhism was introduced into China around the first century CE. It became widespread via Silk Road in Northwest China. For two thousand years, it exerted tremendous impact on Chinese culture. The Buddhists made great endeavors to sinicize and indigenize Buddhism. They established Chinese Buddhist schools and infiltrated all segments of the population. The Buddhist influence can be seen in literature, music, painting, paintings, dance, architectures and medicine. When we investigate the cultural exchanges between China and India, we can easily find that the integral tradition of Indian medicine, which combined a secular elemental doctrine with aspects of demonology, mythology, and moral-macrocosmic concepts, was introduced into China by traveling monks and the texts they brought with them. I. Introduction One of the characteristics of Chinese religions indicates that Chinese tend to welcome any religion that can cure diseases. When Buddhism was introduced into China in the first stage, the Chinese took Buddhists as a magicians, similar to Fangshi (方士).[1] For centuries, educated Chinese considered the Buddhist doctrines to be a new variant of religious Daoism. The famous monk Fo Tudeng (佛圖澄 232 – 348) was reported to possess the skills of breathing exercises and making magic. He could spend days without eating grain. Being good at incantations, he was able to cure difficult and complicated cases and rescue the dying. He repeatedly demonstrated his knowledge and the value of his teaching through various magical and clairvoyant activities, including raising the dead, rain spells, and divination. [2] Fo Tudeng was not a sole example.

Goodman* Abstract Focusing on Li Chunfeng’s 李淳風 (602–670) Sui shu 隋書 “Lü-li zhi” 律 曆志 (Monograph on Harmono-metrology & Mathematical Astronomy) and its predecessor in the Han shu 漢書, this chapter questions the universality of the mar- riage between these fields in Chinese thought, arguing instead that it is the product of specific compilers’ grappling with generic conventions and the messy course of history. The joint monograph appears first in the Han shu, a natural consequence of its reliance on Liu Xin’s 劉歆 (46 BCE – 23 CE) synthetic writings, and culminates in Li Chunfeng’s monographs, after which subsequent histories abandon the model.

  • Bibliography of Chinese Linguistics William S.-Y.Wang
    BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CHINESE LINGUISTICS WILLIAM S.-Y.WANG INTRODUCTION THIS IS THE FIRST LARGE-SCALE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CHINESE LINGUISTICS. IT IS INTENDED TO BE OF USE TO STUDENTS OF THE LANGUAGE WHO WISH EITHER TO CHECK THE REFERENCE OF A PARTICULAR ARTICLE OR TO GAIN A PERSPECTIVE INTO SOME SPECIAL TOPIC OF RESEARCH. THE FIELD OF CHINESE LINGUIS- TICS HAS BEEN UNDERGOING RAPID DEVELOPMENT IN RECENT YEARS. IT IS HOPED THAT THE PRESENT WORK WILL NURTURE THIS DEVELOP- MENT BY PROVIDING A SENSE OF THE SIZABLE SCHOLARSHIP IN THE FIELD» BOTH PAST AND PRESENT. IN SPITE OF REPEATED CHECKS AND COUNTERCHECKS, THE FOLLOWING PAGES ARE SURE TO CONTAIN NUMEROUS ERRORS OF FACT, SELECTION AND OMISSION. ALSO» DUE TO UNEVENNESS IN THE LONG PROCESS OF SELECTION, THE COVERAGE HERE IS NOT UNIFORM. THE REPRESENTATION OF CERTAIN TOPICS OR AUTHORS IS PERHAPS NOT PROPORTIONAL TO THE EXTENT OR IMPORTANCE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CHINESE LINGUISTICS ]g9 OF THE CORRESPONDING LITERATURE. THE COVERAGE CAN BE DIS- CERNED TO BE UNBALANCED IN TWO MAJOR WAYS. FIRST. THE EMPHASIS IS MORE ON-MODERN. SYNCHRONIC STUDIES. RATHER THAN ON THE WRITINGS OF EARLIER CENTURIES. THUS MANY IMPORTANT MONOGRAPHS OF THE QING PHILOLOGISTS. FOR EXAMPLE, HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED HERE. THOUGH THESE ARE CERTAINLY TRACE- ABLE FROM THE MODERN ENTRIES. SECOND, THE EMPHASIS IS HEAVILY ON THE SPOKEN LANGUAGE, ALTHOUGH THERE EXISTS AN ABUNDANT LITERATURE ON THE CHINESE WRITING SYSTEM. IN VIEW OF THESE SHORTCOMINGS, I HAD RESERVATIONS ABOUT PUBLISHING THE BIBLIOGRAPHY IN ITS PRESENT STATE. HOWEVER, IN THE LIGHT OF OUR EXPERIENCE SO FAR, IT IS CLEAR THAT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND EFFORT IS STILL NEEDED TO PRODUCE A COMPREHENSIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY THAT IS AT ONCE PROPERLY BALANCED AMD COMPLETELY ACCURATE (AND, PERHAPS, WITH ANNOTATIONS ON THE IMPORTANT ENTRIES).

  • Social Aspects of Western Zhou Ritual Paul
    Between Kin and King: Social Aspects of Western Zhou Ritual Paul Nicholas Vogt Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 ©2012 Paul Nicholas Vogt All rights reserved ABSTRACT Between Kin and King: Social Aspects of Western Zhou Ritual Paul Nicholas Vogt The Western Zhou period (ca. 1045-771 BCE) saw the dissemination of a particular style of ancestral ritual across North China, as the Zhou royal faction leveraged its familiarity with the ritual techniques of the conquered Shang culture to complement its project of state formation. Looking back on this era as the golden age of governance, Eastern Zhou and Han thinkers sought to codify its ritual in comprehensive textual treatments collectively known as the Sanli and, in particular, the Zhouli , or “Rites of Zhou.” Later scholarship has consistently drawn on the Sanli as a reference point and assumed standard for the characterization of Western Zhou rites. Current understandings of the formative era of early Chinese ritual are thus informed by the syncretic and classicizing tendencies of the early empires. To redress this issue, the present study explores the ritual practices of the Western Zhou based on their records on inscribed bronzes, the most extensive source of textual information on the period. It characterizes Western Zhou ancestral rites as fluid phenomena subject to continued redefinition, adoption, cooption, and abandonment as warranted by the different interests

  • The Earliest Dragon Worship in Ancient China Came from the Huang Di People
    E-Leader Macao 2017 The Earliest Dragon Worship in Ancient China Came from the Huang Di People Soleilmavis Liu, Author, Board Member and Peace Sponsor Yantai, Shangdong, China Abstract Many people claimed that Huang Di was the ancestor of all Chinese people and some Chinese people proudly call themselves “descendants of the Dragon.” Are these truth or false? We will find out from Shanhaijing ’s records and modern archaeological discoveries. Shanhaijing (Classic of Mountains and Seas) records many ancient groups of people (or tribes) in Neolithic China. The five biggest were: Zhuan Xu, Di Jun, Huang Di, Yan Di and Shao Hao. These were not only the names of individuals, but also the names of tribes who regarded them as common ancestors. These groups used to live in the Pamirs Plateau, later spread to other places of China and built their unique ancient cultures during the Neolithic Age. Shanhaijing reveals Huang Di’s offspring worshipping dragon. Modern archaeological discoveries have revealed the authenticity of Shanhaijing ’s records. The dragon shape stone pile in Xinglongwa Culture (6200- 5400BCE) and jade dragons in Hongshan Culture (4000-3000BCE) suggest the earliest dragon worship in ancient China came from the Huang Di People. Keywords: Shanhaijing; Neolithic China, Huang Di, Yan Di, Hong -shan Culture Introduction Shanhaijing (Classic of Mountains and Seas) records many ancient groups of people (or tribes) in Neolithic China. The five biggest were: Zhuan Xu, Di Jun, Huang Di, Yan Di and Shao Hao. These were not only the names of individuals, but also the names of tribes who regarded them as common ancestors.
