  • Dingzhou: the Story of an Unfortunate Tomb
    DINGZHOU: THE STORY OF AN UNFORTUNATE TOMB Paul van Els, Leiden University Abstract In 1973, Chinese archaeologists excavated a tomb of considerable dimensions near Dingzhou. This tomb, which dates to the Former Han dynasty, yielded a rich array of funerary furnishings, including jadeware, goldware, bronzeware, lacquerware and a large cache of inscribed bamboo strips, with significant potential for study. Sadly, though, the tomb and its contents were struck by several disastrous events (robbery, fire, earthquake). These disasters severely affected the quantity and quality of the find and may have tempered scholarly enthusiasm for Dingzhou, which remains little-known to date. This paper, the first English-language specialized study of the topic, provides an overall account of the Dingzhou discovery; it draws attention to fundamental issues regarding the tomb (e.g. its date) and the manuscripts (e.g. their transcription); and it explores the significance of the tomb and its contents, and their potential importance for the study of early imperial Chinese history, philosophy, literature and culture. Introductory Remarks In 1973, a team of Chinese archaeologists excavated a Former Han dynasty tomb near Dingzhou ᅮᎲ in Hebei Province ⊇࣫ⳕ.1 In eight months of excavation, from May to December, the team revealed a tomb of considerable dimensions and brought to light a rich array of funerary furnishings, including several manu- scripts, with significant potential for the study of early imperial Chinese history, philosophy, literature and culture. Sadly, the discovery did not achieve its full potential. In the three decades that have passed since, studies of the Dingzhou find have come to influence our understanding of a few philosophical texts (e.g.

    Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Air Quality Improvement–Hebei Policy Reforms Program (RRP PRC 49232) SECTOR ASSESSMENT: ENVIRONMENT (AIR POLLUTION) Sector Road Map A. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. Air pollution problems in the PRC. Decades of unsustainable economic growth in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have resulted in severe degradation of the air, water and soil quality throughout the country. In 2014, 74 of PRC’s prefecture-level and higher level cities recorded annual concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exceeding the national standard of 35 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) by 83%, with 7 of the 10 most polluted cities in the PRC located in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region.1 High levels of air pollution are among the first environmental problems that the PRC’s leadership has addressed with an unprecedented scale of reforms and actions which include the first “Action Plan of Pollution Prevention and Control” (hereinafter CAAP) outlining targets to be achieved in 2013–2015 in key regions, a new vision for the PRC’s urbanization which emphasizes improved ecological environment in cities, and a new environmental protection law unleashing long-needed reforms in the government performance assessment system. 2. Air quality and emissions in Hebei Province. Hebei province (Hebei) surrounds Beijing and Tianjin Municipalities, bordering Bohai bay to the east. Despite its advantageous geographical position, Hebei’s resources driven and heavy industry based economy has made the province lag behind other coastal provinces like Jiansgu and Zhejiang in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) and overall economic performance. In 2014, Hebei’s GDP totaled CNY2.94 trillion with a per capita GDP of CNY39,846.

For the wetland restoration and management, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis of wetland loss. In this study, the Xiong’an New Area was selected as the study area. For this site, we built a new method to identify the patterns of wetland loss integrated the landscape variation and wetland elements loss based on seven land use maps and Landsat series images from the 1980s to 2015.

  • Commentaar Van the Epoch Times Op De Communistische Partij
    Commentaar van The Epoch Times op de Communistische Partij Deel 5 – De samenzwering van Jiang Zemin met de Chinese Communistische Partij om Falun Gong te vervolgen Waarom wordt Falun Gong, een vorm van Qigong die gebaseerd is op de principes van “Waarachtigheid, Mededogen en Verdraagzaamheid” en die wereldwijd beoefend wordt in meer dan zestig landen, alleen in China vervolgd en nergens anders ter wereld? Wat is de heimelijke verstandhouding tussen Jiang Zemin en de CCP in deze vervolging? Voorwoord Mevr. Zhang Fuzhen, leeftijd ongeveer 38 jaar, was een werknemer van het Xianhe park te Pingdu, in de provincie Shandong, China. Ze ging naar Beijing in november 2000 om er tegen de vervolging van Falun Gong in beroep te gaan en werd later door de autoriteiten ontvoerd. Volgens interne bronnen folterde en vernederde de politie Zhang Fuzhen, werden haar kleren uitgetrokken en werd haar hoofd volledig kaalgeschoren. Ze bonden haar vast aan een bed met haar vier ledematen uitgerekt en zij werd aldus gedwongen zichzelf op het bed te ontlasten. Later gaf de politie haar een injectie met een onbekende giftige substantie. Na de injectie had Zhang zoveel pijn dat zij bijna krankzinnig werd. Op het bed worstelde ze met enorme pijn tot zij overleed. Het hele proces werd gadegeslagen door de lokale functionarissen van het ‘6-10 Bureau’. (Uittreksel uit een rapport van 31 mei 2004 van de Clearwisdom website)[1] Tirannie vastgelegd op film: Politieagenten in burger en in uniform arresteren ca. 10 Falun Gong beoefenaars Mevr.

Green development is the hot spot of cold chain logistics today. +erefore, this paper converts carbon emission into carbon emission cost, comprehensively considers cargo damage, refrigeration, carbon emission, time window, and other factors, and establishes the optimization model of location of low-carbon cold chain logistics in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan area. Aiming at the problems of the fish swarm algorithm, this paper makes full use of the fireworks algorithm and proposes an improved fish swarm algorithm on the basis of the fireworks algorithm. By introducing the explosion, Gaussian mutation, mapping and selection operations of the fireworks algorithm, the local search ability and diversity of artificial fish are enhanced. Finally, the modified algorithm is applied to optimize the model, and the results show that the location scheme of low-carbon cold chain logistics in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan area with the lowest total cost can be obtained by using fireworks-artificial fish swarm algorithm.
