Herit Sci (2020) 8:108 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40494-020-00452-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access What factors contribute to high mechanical strength of tabia? Case study of the tabia from coastal forts sites at Zhejiang, China Cuisong Zhang1, Bingjian Zhang1,2* , Biao Cui3 and Guocong Lin4 Abstract Tabia is one of the most widely used construction materials in ancient China. In this work, the tabia samples from three coastal defense fort sites at Zhejiang Province, China, we analyzed to determine their component composition and physiochemical properties. The results show that these tabia samples exhibited high compressive strength, which could be as high as 4–9 MPa. Furthermore, the systematic analysis demonstrated that the high compressive strength was related to the following factors: (1) a suitable mass ratio of sand, lime, and clay; (2) an appropriate sand particle size ratio; and (3) the formation of hydrated calcium silicate (C-S-H). Moreover, sticky rice was also detected in the tabia samples. These fndings are fundamentally important, which could be benefcial to further study of the crafts- manship of the coastal defense forts and could further provide essential guidance for the protection and restoration of the tabia relics.

By the time the British crushed the Chinese navy in the so-called Opium Wars, the country and its government were in a state of shock and incapable of quickly catching-up with Western Europe. In contrast with such a narrative, this dissertation shows that the Great Qing was in fact far more aware of global trends than has been commonly assumed. Against the backdrop of the long eighteenth century, the author explores the fundamental historical notions of the Chinese maritime world as a conceptual divide between an inner and an outer sea, whereby administrators, merchants, and intellectuals paid close and intense attention to coastal seawaters. Drawing on archival sources from China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and the West, the author argues that the connection between the Great Qing and the maritime world was complex and sophisticated.

Standing on a hill, looking northward across the city toward the Yangzi, he might have decried the masts of more than seventy British ships anchored in a thick nest on the river, or perhaps have noticed the strange shapes of the four armored steamships that, contrary to expecta- tions, had successfully penetrated the treacherous lower stretches of China's main waterway. Might have seen this, indeed, except that his view most likely would have been screened by the black clouds of smoke swirling up from one, then two, then three of the city's five gates, as fire spread to the guardtowers atop them. His ears dinned by the report of rifle and musket fire and the roar of cannon and rockets, he would scarcely have heard the sounds of panic as townsmen, including his own relatives and friends, screamed to be allowed to leave the city, whose gates had been held shut since the week before by order of the commander of * An earlier version of this paper was presented at the annual meeting of the Association for Manchu Studies (Manzokushi kenkyùkai) at Meiji University, Tokyo, in November 1988.

  • The Development of Shipbuilding During the Qing Dynasty
    The Development of Shipbuilding during the Qing Dynasty ᓄځLEE Chi-lin ׵ Introduction A pervasive view has been that the Manchus, ruling élite of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), were mainly good at land combat, using their cavalry, not knowing much about naval warfare and warship operations. During the early days, the Qing dynasty had only a few warships. Most of these came from surrendered generals of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). But the Qing gov- ernment adapted quickly in spite of its lack of skill in shipbuilding. Soon they learned to use surrendered Han Chinese workmen to build warships to com- pensate for their own lack of the required skills. In the third year of Yongzheng ႘҅ (1725), one after the other, the coastal provinces established shipyards and began to build warships. A true warship-building industry took shape. Over the years, the Qing manufacture of warships changed correspondingly as opponents changed the types of war- ships that they were using, but the Qing never designed their own warships. Warships built in Qing yards were never original designs and most were cop- ies of civilian ships. Thus warships and civilian ships were of more or less the same design during the Qing. Given this reality, Qing rulers did not devote much effort to improving their warships in design and construction. As a result the quality of Qing war- ships was inferior to the quality of contemporary civilian ships. Qing had to continue requisitioning civilian ships during wartime to make up for the in- adequacies of naval ships.1 The development of a civil shipbuilding industry was similarly hindered by the Qing maritime prohibition policy (haijin zhengce ੇ࿣ࡹ฼).
