World Bank Document Public Disclosure Authorized People's Republic of China Shaan.xEHighway Project II "An Environment Impact Report on Jiangzhang- -Tangyu Class-Two Auto-OnI;y Highway Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Xian Highway Transportation University April, 1995 People's Republic of China Shaanxi Highway Project I1 An Environment Impact Report on Jiangzhang -Tangyu Class-Two Auto-Only Highway Xian Highway Transportation University Apri,, 1995 Introduction Jiangzhang -Tangyu Class-Two Auto-Only Highway (alUed JTH) is located inside Meixian county,mid-west part of Shaanxi province, connecting Xian -Baoji class -one highway and Taibai Naitional Forest Park, with a total length of 15. 692km. The overall cost of the project covers 77,103,800 yua n. The Taibai National Forest Park stands inside Meixian county, the northern foot of Qinling mountains in the north -western Shaanxi province. Tangyu hot spring flows from the Araibai Mount. In recent years. the beautiful landscape. natural glacial topography.varieties of wild animal and vegetation resources, and the hot spring for convalescence attract more and more visitors and tourists. They are looking forward to an express way to link the tourist zone with Xian and Baoji. But the conditions of the existing roads to Tangyu are poor, uncoordinated with the tourist development. According to the need of local tourism , the government of Baoji city and the county council of Fufeng put forward a suggestion to build up a tourism - only highway between Jiangzhang and Tangyu at the 13th people's Congress of Shaanxi province. The suggestion was approved in principle and it will be carried out in the late years of the eighth 5-year plan as a key construction project- In April, 1994, Shaanxi Provincial Reconnaissance and Design Institute completed The Road Engineering Feasibility Report of Jiangzhang -Tangyu Highway. which was placed in Oct. on the 1994 World Bank Loan Applica- tion Project after the discussion with the World Bank. In Oct. 1994. Xian Highway Transportation University was asked by Shaanxi Provincial Communications Division to do the environment assessment of Jiangzhang-Tangyu Highway. In January, 1995. Shaanxi Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau held in Xian an opinion soliciting conference for the environmental assessment outline and approved it in the document of Shaanxi Environment Supervision (1995). In JanuaTy, 1995tthe first draft was finished. The environmental protec- tional expert ,Mr. Suzuki had a great suggestions to the report in April before the revision and submission to the World Bank and the Shaanxi provincial Environment Protection Bureau. The present sound environment materials in the assessment report come from monitoring on the spots by Xian Highway Transportation University. while the others from the environmental protection Dept. of the Unified Re- connaissance Research Institute of the Electric Ministry. During the assess- ment work, thanks for the great help from Shannxi Provincial Communica- tions Division. the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau, The Provin- cial Reconnaissance and Design Institute. Fufeng Transportation Bureau. Shaanxi Provincial Meteorology Bureau. Meixian Meteorology Bureau and some other units.

It can be divided into four sections 微, while MC Xiao 晓 initial group includes according to the distribution: the northern area, the Xiao 晓 and Xia 匣 initials. The third and fourth southwestern area, the southern area, the class of Xiao 晓 initial group have almost southeastern area. The mixing is very simple in the palatalized as [ɕ] which doesn’t mix with Fei northern area, while in Sichuan it is the most initial group. This paper mainly discusses the first extensive and complex. The southern area only and the second class of Xiao and Xia initials. The includes Hunan and Guangxi where ethnic mixing of Fei and Xiao initials is a relatively minorities gather, and the mixing is very recent phonetic change, which has no direct complicated. Ancient languages are preserved in the inheritance with the phonological system of southeastern area where there are still bilabial Qieyun. The mixing mainly occurs in the southern sounds and initial consonant [h], but the mixing is part of the mainland of China.

  • Analysis of Rural Women's Economic Participation in Shaanxi Province, China: Preliminary Results and Insights Mei Yang Allan R
    Analysis of Rural Women’s Economic Participation in Shaanxi Province, China: Preliminary Results and Insights Mei Yang Allan Rae David Tripe Martin Young Huiyan Zhao School of Economics and Finance, Massey University ABSTRACT China has made significant progress in economic reform. This has entailed large scale migration and urbanization, but there is an accompanying problem of position of women in agricultural production in rural areas. To explore this, the study examines rural women’s barriers and potential in economic participation in Shaanxi province through a survey of 356 rural women including both those engaging in farming and off-farming activities from three regions of Shaanxi with different developing characteristics. We use a mixed research methodology with both qualitative and quantitative elements. Unlike a handful of previous relevant studies, the collection of primary data allows a more in depth and systematic analysis of the current situation of rural women and the barriers they are facing. Preliminary results indicate that the situation of rural women in China presents a range of characteristics due to political factors, geographical location, low education attainment, and their role as care-providers. The results presented here here is mainly concerning the part of rural women engaging in farming. 1. Introduction Over the last three decades, China’s industrialization and urbanization have been on an unprecedented scale(Bank, 2014): Around 250 million migrants have moved to cities from rural areas (NBSC, 2012) in supporting the country’s rapid economic growth which has averaged around 10% annually. Meanwhile, starting from 2000, the number of left-behind rural women1 or using a specific term in Chinese, Liushou women has increased sharply and it still increases each year.

For analysis, there were a total of 53 counties in the sample. The results show that in Weibei, Guanzhong and Qin-Ba regions, compared with conventional fertilization, formulated fertilization decreased nitrogen (N) fertilizer rates by 31.92%, 12.59% and 10.13% respectively, decreased phosphate (P2O5) fertilizer rates by 20.44%, 2.10% and 26.19% respectively, increased potassium (K2O) fertilizer rates by 105.98%, 193.99% and 382.58% respectively. The yields of wheat improved 330 kg ha-1, 403 kg ha-1 and 738 kg ha-1, the yield increase rates were 7.73%, 6.26% and 19.71%, the average profits increased about 906 yuan ha-1, 689 yuan ha-1 and 1423 yuan ha-1 respectively in the three regions. In addition, the average yields were higher up to 19.07%, 14.96% and 17.76% respectively when irrigation had been used than without, and it was not the most productive varieties that were the most grown in the three regions.

  • Place of Interest in Xi'an
    Place of interest in Xi’an Tang Paradise XianQujiangRiver, as an aggregation of Chinese ancient garden and architecture art, is called one of the pioneers of Chinese classical gardens. In Qin Dynasty, the Royal “forbidden garden” –Yi Chun Garden and the well-known RestingGarden—Yi Chun Xia Garden were built here. Later in Sui Dynasty, Da Xing City was built against QujiangRiver. However, the Emperor of Sui Wendi was suspicious, believing in geomantic omen. Da Xing City’s south-east part was high while the north-west part was low, with the good luck inclining to the south-east part according to Chinese traditional concept. The bedchamber located in the middle of north side whose topography was never beyond south-east, some suggested to break such situation by the method of “expelling evil spirits”, for example, that is, to dig the Qujiang into a deep pond, isolated from the wall and circled into the Royal “Forbidden Garden” for the entertainment of the emperors. Thus “the Imperial Spirit”could be protected. Fortunately, Qujiang has the natural type of circulating, with which it could become a picturesque place by a bit trim. Kaihuang 3rd year (AD 583), Emperor Sui Wen formally moved into the new capital.Emperor Sui Wen disliked the word“Qu”, regarding it un-auspicious, and commanded Gao Ying (the Pre Minister to Sui Wen) changed the name. One night, something jumped into Gao Ying’ mind that the lotus flowers blossoming in the Qujiang pond were extremely colorful, which had an elegant name “Fu Rong”, so planned to name Qujiang as “ Fu Rong Park”.
