  • Qingzhou Press Release (FINAL)
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rare 1,400 year old sculptures from Qingzhou at the Peranakan Museum – Only venue in Southeast Asia 14 January 2009, Singapore: Travel 1,400 years back in time to the period when Buddhist art was at its peak in China at Serenity in Stone: The Qingzhou Discovery , the newest exhibition held in the Peranakan Museum. Organised by the Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM), in collaboration with the Art Gallery of New South Wales, this exhibition will be on show from 16 January to 26 April 2009. Visitors can expect to see 35 of the best preserved and most exquisite sculptures from Qingzhou, Shandong Province, northeast China, set in a serene and calming ambience. The discovery of these sculptures took place in 1996, when construction workers were levelling the ground to build a school sports field. Over 400 limestone sculptures dating back to the 6 th century CE during the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties were found in a pit measuring 8.7 by 6.8 metres, and 2 metres deep. Archaeologists found that the sculptures were carefully buried, as though it was part of a ritual – however the reason for their burial still remains a mystery. The sculptures had lain undisturbed for over 800 years, and many still retain traces of paint and gold leaf, which gives us an idea of the splendour of their original decoration. This “accidental” find has become one of the more significant archeological finds of the 20 th century. Page 1 of 3 Dr. Kenson Kwok, Director, ACM said, “I was first captivated by these sculptures some ten years ago when I was in Beijing at a time when a large number of pieces from the Qingzhou discovery were on display in a special exhibition at the National History Museum in Tiananmen Square.

  • Bicycle Evolution in China: from the 1900S to the Present
    Bicycle Evolution in China: From the 1900s to the Present Hua Zhang School of Humanities & Economic Management, China University of Geosciences, Beijing, Peoples Republic of China Susan A. Shaheen Transportation Sustainability Research Center (TSRC), University of California, Berkeley, California, USA Xingpeng Chen College of Earth and Environmental Science (CEES), Lanzhou University, Peoples Republic of China ABSTRACT This article examines four phases in bicycle evolution in China from initial entry and slow growth (1900s to 1978), to rapid growth (1978 to 1995), bicycle use reduction (1995 to 2002), and policy diversification (2002 to present). Two bicycle innovations, electric bikes, and public bikesharing (the shared use of a bicycle fleet), are also explored in this article. Electric bikes could provide a transitional mode on the pathway to bicycle and public transportation integration or to small battery electric cars. Four lessons have been learned from China’s electric bike experience relevant to government policy and management. Public bikesharing represents an important step towards integrating the bicycle with bus, metro, and rail systems. Five early operational lessons have been identified from China’s limited public bikesharing experience. Key Words: bicycle, China, electric bike, evolution, public bikesharing 1. INTRODUCTION The bicycle has developed in China since the 1900s and has been a mainstay in the nation’s transportation system since the late-1970s due to relatively low incomes, compact urban construction, and short trip distances. After the mid-1990s, however, bicycle use steadily decreased as a result of economic growth, increased urbanization, expanded city areas, and a gradually deteriorating cycling environment. For example, as the Chinese Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development declared, bicycle modal share declined from 54% in 1986 to 23% in 2007 in Beijing and from 30% in 1995 to 4% in 2007 in Shenzhen.
