Based on inscriptions mostly use the term “certain party” (certain these suggestions and analyses, this paper discusses the Fang 某方 ), and oracle bone experts interpret this as northern-style bronzes unearthed from offering pits, meaning the surrounding chiefdoms. The groups from sacrificial pits and tombs at the Yinxu Site and reveals the surrounding areas attacking the border regions of the that the northern-style bronzes frequently seen at Yinxu, Shang territory that are referred to in the inscriptions especially the ones dating to the late stage of Phase I on the large bovine scapulae mentioned above include and Phase II of Yinxu Period (i.e., those dating to the Qiong Fang, Tu Fang, and Fang Fang.

In the subsequent administration of Fujian and Zhejiang, combined with local development, Xi Jinping ideology of ecological civilization became systematical. After the 18th CPC National Congress, Xi Jinping delivered a series of important speeches about the construction of ecological civilization and formed his ideology of ecological civilization. It, containing rich contents, is the conclusion drawn from long-term socialist revolution and construction of the CPC and the development and innovation of Marxism ecological ideology in China. Combined with the judgment of “Shaanxi is in a stage of catch-up and surpassing” when Xi Jinping inspected Shaanxi in the beginning of 2015, Xi Jinping ideology of ecological civilization shall be practiced to realize the catch-up and surpassing of beautiful Shaanxi. Human beings have never stopped thinking and practicing the relationship between man and nature. In the process, rich ecological ideologies appear. The formation of Xi Jinping ideology of ecological civilization construction is rooted in the realistic background of domestic and international ecological problems, and is based on the good practice of collective ecological protection by the party’s leaders.

The evidence for this comprehensive model comes from (1) Sm-Nd and 40Ar-39Ar ages of gabbros in ophiolite suites (180– 204 Ma) from both Yarlung Zangpo and Bangong-Nujiang sutures reflecting the timing of the opening of the two ocean basins at J1, probably under the influence of a super-plume. (2) Ages of subduction-related lavas: ~140–170Ma in the Bangong-Nujiang suture and ~ 65–170Ma in the Yarlung Zangpo suture. Among these lavas, boninite and boninite series, which are generally regarded as the indicating an early state of subduction initiation, have been recognized at both the northern and southern edges of the Gangdese block (Zhang, 1985; Qiu, 2004, 2007).

Petrographic features show that the sandstones are characterized by low-medium compositional maturity and textural maturity. The CIA and CIW values reveal weak and moderate weathering history in the source area. The geochemical characteristics together with palaeocurrent data show that the northwestern sediments were mainly derived from the Alxa Block with a typical recycled nature, while the provenance of the western and southwestern sediments were mainly from the Qinling-Qilian Orogenic Belt. The tectonic setting discrimination diagrams signify that the parent rocks of sandstones in western and southwestern Ordos Basin were mainly developed from continental island arc, which is closely

  • Inscriptional Records of the Western Zhou
    INSCRIPTIONAL RECORDS OF THE WESTERN ZHOU Robert Eno Fall 2012 Note to Readers The translations in these pages cannot be considered scholarly. They were originally prepared in early 1988, under stringent time pressures, specifically for teaching use that term. Although I modified them sporadically between that time and 2012, my final year of teaching, their purpose as course materials, used in a week-long classroom exercise for undergraduate students in an early China history survey, did not warrant the type of robust academic apparatus that a scholarly edition would have required. Since no broad anthology of translations of bronze inscriptions was generally available, I have, since the late 1990s, made updated versions of this resource available online for use by teachers and students generally. As freely available materials, they may still be of use. However, as specialists have been aware all along, there are many imperfections in these translations, and I want to make sure that readers are aware that there is now a scholarly alternative, published last month: A Source Book of Ancient Chinese Bronze Inscriptions, edited by Constance Cook and Paul Goldin (Berkeley: Society for the Study of Early China, 2016). The “Source Book” includes translations of over one hundred inscriptions, prepared by ten contributors. I have chosen not to revise the materials here in light of this new resource, even in the case of a few items in the “Source Book” that were contributed by me, because a piecemeal revision seemed unhelpful, and I am now too distant from research on Western Zhou bronzes to undertake a more extensive one.

  • Maria Khayutina • [email protected] the Tombs
    Maria Khayutina [email protected] The Tombs of Peng State and Related Questions Paper for the Chicago Bronze Workshop, November 3-7, 2010 (, 1.1.) () The discovery of the Western Zhou period’s Peng State in Heng River Valley in the south of Shanxi Province represents one of the most fascinating archaeological events of the last decade. Ruled by a lineage of Kui (Gui ) surname, Peng, supposedly, was founded by descendants of a group that, to a certain degree, retained autonomy from the Huaxia cultural and political community, dominated by lineages of Zi , Ji and Jiang surnames. Considering Peng’s location right to the south of one of the major Ji states, Jin , and quite close to the eastern residence of Zhou kings, Chengzhou , its case can be very instructive with regard to the construction of the geo-political and cultural space in Early China during the Western Zhou period. Although the publication of the full excavations’ report may take years, some preliminary observations can be made already now based on simplified archaeological reports about the tombs of Peng ruler Cheng and his spouse née Ji of Bi . In the present paper, I briefly introduce the tombs inventory and the inscriptions on the bronzes, and then proceed to discuss the following questions: - How the tombs M1 and M2 at Hengbei can be dated? - What does the equipment of the Hengbei tombs suggest about the cultural roots of Peng? - What can be observed about Peng’s relations to the Gui people and to other Kui/Gui- surnamed lineages? 1. General Information The cemetery of Peng state has been discovered near Hengbei village (Hengshui town, Jiang County, Shanxi ).

Quantitative evaluation and research on the ecosystem water supply services in this area are beneficial for developing conservation planning and establishing ecological compensation mechanisms in water conservation areas. In this paper, based on the land use, meteorological, soil, and field observation data of the research area, the InVEST water yield model is used to estimate the water supply of the ecosystem in the Zhangcheng District. The model quantitatively analyzes the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of water supply services in the basin and the influence of different topographic factors. The results show that the average supply of ecosystem water in the Zhangcheng District is approximately 45 mm, and there is a degree of spatial heterogeneity. The total water supply in the Zhangcheng District is relatively small. The water resource supply in the southwest is relatively small, the rainfall in mountainous Citation: Liu, R.; Niu, X.; Wang, B.; forest areas in the southeast is high, its water supply is higher, and the supply of forest land water is ◦ ◦ Song, Q.
