MANAGEMENT PLAN ...........................................................63 2 1 Generals 1.1 Background China is an agricultural country with large populations and less cultivated lands which always restrict the development of the whole country. With the development of economy and the increase of populations, how to feed more than one billion population is always a matter of prime importance. China is also a country with frequent flood and drought disasters and short of water resources. Even though the total water resources volume takes the sixth place of the world, its per capita holding is only one fourth of that of the world level, making up the 110th place and was designated by the United Nations as one of the thirteen water lacking countries. Moreover, the limited water resources is distributed unevenly in terms of both space and time, which are more in the south and less in the north, more in the east and less in the west, more in summer and autumn and less in winter and spring. The composition of water and land resources is non-proportional. The water resources in North China where the land area constitutes 60% of the whole country accounts less than 20% of that of the whole country, and its seasonal and regional water shortage is very prominent. On the one hand, the water resources are very insufficent, and on the other hand, they are wasted seriously in agriculture sector. At present, the utilization factor of irrigation water in China is only 0.4, however, it can reach 0.80.9 in advanced countries, therefore, there are great potentials for water saving in agriculture in China. If the utilization factor of irrigation water in the constructed irrigated areas of China can be increased by 0.10.2, the annual water saving volume will reach 4080 billion cubic meters calculated as 400 billion cubic meters water consumption in agriculture and this will play an important role in alleviating the contradictions between water resources supply and demand. At present, the water use efficiency of irrigation water in China is very low, the cereal production per cubic meter water can’t reach 1.0 kilogram which is less than 50% of that in developed countries. Developing water saving irrigation is an important way for increasing the utilization efficiency of irrigation water, the comprehensive agricultural productivity and farmer’s income and promoting the sustainable utilization of water resources and the sustainable development of agriculture, which is of great significance in water- lacking districts. In order to raise enough funds, the state planed to borrow loan from the World Bank to develop water saving irrigation projects in Hebei province, meanwhile, undertake the construction of agricultural modification projects. 1.1.1 Review of Hebei Water Conservation Project I Hebei Water Conservation Project I, financed by the World Bank, covers a total 6 counties in two municipalities, Handan (Guantao, Feixiang, Linzhang, Chengan and She County), Shijiazhuang (Yuanshi county). The overall objectives of the project are 1 to increase the utilization factor of irrigation water; to increase the capability of comprehensive production of agriculture and farmers’ income and to promote the sustainable use of water resources and the sustainable development

  • The Chinese State in Ming Society
    The Chinese State in Ming Society The Ming dynasty (1368–1644), a period of commercial expansion and cultural innovation, fashioned the relationship between the present-day state and society in China. In this unique collection of reworked and illustrated essays, one of the leading scholars of Chinese history re-examines this relationship and argues that, contrary to previous scholarship, which emphasized the heavy hand of the state, it was radical responses within society to changes in commercial relations and social networks that led to a stable but dynamic “constitution” during the Ming dynasty. This imaginative reconsideration of existing scholarship also includes two essays first published here and a substantial introduction, and will be fascinating reading for scholars and students interested in China’s development. Timothy Book is Principal of St. John’s College, University of British Colombia. Critical Asian Scholarship Edited by Mark Selden, Binghamton and Cornell Universities, USA The series is intended to showcase the most important individual contributions to scholarship in Asian Studies. Each of the volumes presents a leading Asian scholar addressing themes that are central to his or her most significant and lasting contribution to Asian studies. The series is committed to the rich variety of research and writing on Asia, and is not restricted to any particular discipline, theoretical approach or geographical expertise.

  • July 7 Peanut Market Daily Report
    GLOBAL AGRICULTURE INFO GROUP(GAIG) www.globalaginfo.com Agriculture Research Service | Situation and Insight Report GAIG Daily Peanut Market Report | July 7, 2021 GAIG Updates Everyday News July 7 Peanut Market Daily Report Kindly note: Due to little changes each day, so the changed information will be marked in red. USD:RMB (1:6.46) China domestic peanut market remains stable today, peanut offers in some origins are mixed. Purchasing activities in origins have entered into last period, many have commonly stopped purchasing. Peanut inventory of dealers is limited, some even have a zero inventory, mostly choose to sell immediately after purchasing, deal prices are mainly based on bargains and previous contracts. Today, peanut oil prices continue to be weak. All oil factories have obviously lowered their offers who are weak in stability. Since it’s a low season of market demand, trade atmosphere is light. Dealers trade based on inventory, deals are on the basis of bargains and previous contracts. Deal volume in current market is commonly low, market entities are apparently waiting and seeing. At the moment, pressing profit is still not high. Peanut meal prices are weak with slight decreases today. But peanut meal demand is barely satisfying with a smooth trade flowing, piglet breeding development has been dynamic all the time, so animal feed demand is stable. It is expected that peanut meal prices will be weak with waves recently. 1. China local Origin Peanut Daily Prices Situation (1) China Origin Peanut Selling Price in Major Planting

    Liu et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2019) 19:765 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-019-4402-8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Long-term retrospective observation reveals stabilities and variations of hantavirus infection in Hebei, China Shiyou Liu, Yamei Wei, Xu Han, Yanan Cai, Zhanying Han, Yanbo Zhang, Yonggang Xu, Shunxiang Qi and Qi Li* Abstract Background: Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is an emerging zoonotic infectious disease caused by hantaviruses which circulate worldwide. So far, it was still considered as one of serious public health problems in China. The present study aimed to reveal the stabilities and variations of hantavirus infection in Hebei province located in North China through a long-term retrospective observation. Methods: The epidemiological data of HFRS cases from all 11 cities of Hebei province since 1981 through 2016 were collected and descriptively analyzed. The rodent densities, species compositions and virus-carrying rates of different regions were collected from six separated rodent surveillance points which set up since 2007. The molecular diversity and phylogenetic relationship of hantaviruses circulating among rodents were analyzed based on partial viral glycoprotein gene. Results: HFRS cases have been reported every year in Hebei province, since the first local case was identified in 1981. The epidemic history can be artificially divided into three phases and a total of 55,507 HFRS cases with 374 deaths were reported during 1981–2016. The gender and occupational factors of susceptible population were invarible throughout, however age of that was gradually aging. The annual outbreak peak always present in spring, while the main epidemic region had gradully altered from south to northeast.

  • China, Das Chinesische Meer Und Nordostasien China, the East Asian Seas, and Northeast Asia
    China, das Chinesische Meer und Nordostasien China, the East Asian Seas, and Northeast Asia Horses of the Xianbei, 300–600 AD: A Brief Survey Shing MÜLLER1 iNTRODUCTION The Chinese cavalry, though gaining great weight in warfare since Qin and Han times, remained lightly armed until the fourth century. The deployment of heavy armours of iron or leather for mounted warriors, especially for horses, seems to have been an innovation of the steppe peoples on the northern Chinese border since the third century, as indicated in literary sources and by archaeological excavations. Cavalry had become a major striking force of the steppe nomads since the fall of the Han dynasty in 220 AD, thus leading to the warfare being speedy and fierce. Ever since then, horses occupied a crucial role in war and in peace for all steppe riders on the northern borders of China. The horses were selectively bred, well fed, and drilled for war; horses of good breed symbolized high social status and prestige of their owners. Besides, horses had already been the most desired commodities of the Chinese. With superior cavalries, the steppe people intruded into North China from 300 AD onwards,2 and built one after another ephemeral non-Chinese kingdoms in this vast territory. In this age of disunity, known pain- fully by the Chinese as the age of Sixteen States (316–349 AD) and the age of Southern and Northern Dynas- ties (349–581 AD), many Chinese abandoned their homelands in the CentraL Plain and took flight to south of the Huai River, barricaded behind numerous rivers, lakes and hilly landscapes unfavourable for cavalries, until the North and the South reunited under the flag of the Sui (581–618 AD).3 Although warfare on horseback was practised among all northern steppe tribes, the Xianbei or Särbi, who originated from the southeastern quarters of modern Inner Mongolia and Manchuria, emerged as the major power during this period.

  • Evaluation of Total Flavonoid Content and Analysis of Related EST-SSR in Chinese Peanut Germplasm
    Evaluation of total flavonoid content and analysis of related EST-SSR in Chinese peanut germplasm ARTICLE Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology Evaluation of total flavonoid content and 17: 221-227, 2017 Brazilian Society of Plant Breeding. analysis of related EST-SSR in Chinese peanut Printed in Brazil germplasm http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1984- 70332017v17n3a34 Mingyu Hou1,2, Guojun Mu1, Yongjiang Zhang3, Shunli Cui1, Xinlei Yang1 and Lifeng Liu1* Abstract: As important antioxidants and secondary metabolites in peanut seeds, flavonoids have great nutritive value. In this study, total flavonoid contents (TFC) were determined in seeds of 57 peanut accessions from the province of Hebei, China. A variation of 0.39 to 4.53 mg RT -1g FW was found, and eight germplasm samples containing more than 3.5 mg RT g-1 FW. The TFC of seed embryos ranged from 0.14 to 0.77mg RT g-1 FW. With a view to breeding high-quality peanut varieties with high yields and high TFC, we analyzed the correlations between TFC and plant and pod characteristics. The results of correlation analysis indicated that TFC was significantly negatively correlated with pod number per plant (P/P) and soluble protein content (SPC). We used 251 pairs of expressed sequence tag - simple sequence repeat (EST-SSRs) primers to sequence all germplasm samples and found four EST-SSR markers that were significantly related to TFC. Key words: Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), flavonoid, germplasm, EST-SSR, cor- relation analysis. INTRODUCTION Flavonoids are secondary metabolites contained in a wide variety of plants, and their pharmacological effects include anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperlipidemia, anti-cancer, immunity-promoting, and obesity-preventing effects (Shao et al.
