Gu Yuxuan, Shijiazhuang Foreign Language School Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, China China, Factor 6: Sustainable Agriculture
Gu Yuxuan, Shijiazhuang Foreign Language School Shijiazhuang, HeBei Province, China China, Factor 6: Sustainable Agriculture China: Sustainable Land Use on Sanjiang Plain Located in the northeast corner of China, Sanjiang Plain is in the administrative divisions of Heilongjiang Province. Amur River, Ussuri River and Songhua River joining together, with their waves impacting the soil, formed this flat and fertile alluvial plain whose total area is 108,900 square kilometers. The surface is wet and always has surplus water because of the broad and flat terrain. The cold and wet climate condition causes heavy precipitations in summer and autumn. Rivers run slowly with sudden flood peak periods. Seasonal freezing-thawing soil covers the whole plain. All those account for large areas of swamp water and vegetation which involves 2.4 million hectares of swamp and marsh soil, ranking China’s largest swamp area. Ten wetland nature reserves were set up, attracting many international ecological and environmental protection organizations. The region, which is covered with 10 to 15 cm of water and the total quantity is 18.764 billion cubic meters, is home to many first-class national protected animals. For instance, the red-crowned cranes in the IUCN (World Conservation Union) red list, the Chinese merganser and the Siberian tiger all find their habit in this plain. Sod layer soils are thick, generally 30 to 40 cm. In the area lies the most fertile black earth in China, and it’s one of the three black earth terrains in the world. High in organic matter, the organic matter is 3% to 10%.

In Koguryo Dynasty the State-Formation History Starts from B
International Journal of Korean History(Vol.6, Dec.2004) 1 History of Koguryŏ and China’s Northeast Asian Project 1Park Kyeong-chul * Introduction The Koguryŏ Dynasty, established during the 3rd century B.C. around the Maek tribe is believed to have begun its function as a centralized entity in the Northeast Asia region. During the period between 1st century B.C. and 1st century A.D. aggressive regional expansion policy from the Koguryŏ made it possible to overcome its territorial limitations and weak economic basis. By the end of the 4th century A.D., Koguryŏ emerged as an empire that had acquired its own independent lebensraum in Northeast Asia. This research paper will delve into identifying actual founders of the Koguryŏ Dynasty and shed light on their lives prior to the actual establishment of the Dynasty. Then on, I will analyze the establishment process of Koguryŏ Dynasty. Thereafter, I will analyze the history of Koguryŏ Dynasty at three different stages: the despotic military state period, the period in which Koguryŏ emerged as an independent empire in Northeast Asia, and the era of war against the Sui and Tang dynasty. Upon completion of the above task, I will illustrate the importance of Koguryŏ history for Koreans. Finally, I attempt to unearth the real objectives why the Chinese academics are actively promoting the Northeast Asian Project. * Professor, Dept. of Liberal Arts, Kangnam University 2 History of Koguryŏ and China’s Northeast Asian Project The Yemaek tribe and their culture1 The main centers of East Asian culture in approximately 2000 B.C. were China - by this point it had already become an agrarian society - and the Mongol-Siberian region where nomadic cultures reign.

Tracing Population Movements in Ancient East Asia Through the Linguistics and Archaeology of Textile Production
Evolutionary Human Sciences (2020), 2, e5, page 1 of 20 doi:10.1017/ehs.2020.4 REVIEW Tracing population movements in ancient East Asia through the linguistics and archaeology of textile production Sarah Nelson1, Irina Zhushchikhovskaya2, Tao Li3,4, Mark Hudson3 and Martine Robbeets3* 1Department of Anthropology, University of Denver, Denver, CO, USA, 2Laboratory of Medieval Archaeology, Institute of History, Archaeology and Ethnography of Peoples of Far East, Far Eastern Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, Vladivostok, Russia, 3Eurasia3angle Research group, Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, Jena, Germany and 4Department of Archaeology, Wuhan University, Wuhan, China *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Archaeolinguistics, a field which combines language reconstruction and archaeology as a source of infor- mation on human prehistory, has much to offer to deepen our understanding of the Neolithic and Bronze Age in Northeast Asia. So far, integrated comparative analyses of words and tools for textile production are completely lacking for the Northeast Asian Neolithic and Bronze Age. To remedy this situation, here we integrate linguistic and archaeological evidence of textile production, with the aim of shedding light on ancient population movements in Northeast China, the Russian Far East, Korea and Japan. We show that the transition to more sophisticated textile technology in these regions can be associated not only with the adoption of millet agriculture but also with the spread of the languages of the so-called ‘Transeurasian’ family. In this way, our research provides indirect support for the Language/Farming Dispersal Hypothesis, which posits that language expansion from the Neolithic onwards was often associated with agricultural colonization.

Flood Control for the Red River [Vietnam]
Total Disaster Risk Management - Good Practices - Chapter 3 Vietnam Flood Control for the Red River The Red River, the Delta and Floods The history of the development of Vietnamese civilizations is closely linked to the Red River (Hong River) Delta. As the second largest granary of Vietnam, the Delta holds a significant meaning in the life of the Vietnamese people. This is where approximately 15–20 % of Vietnam’s rice is produced. A population of 17 million now inhabits the 16,500-km2 area of the Red River Delta. The catchment area of the Red River is estimated at 169,000 km2, half of which lies in China. The Red River at Hanoi comprises three major tributary systems, the Da, Thao and Lo Rivers. The river is the source of various positive aspects for human life, such as water resources and rich alluvium (it is called the Red River as the large amount of alluvium it carries colors it red all year round). However, these go hand in hand with a much less expected occurrence: floods. Increased flash floods as a result of deforestation in the upstream parts of the Red River basin, and raised bed levels of the rivers due to the deposition of sediment, are causing higher flood levels, endangering the ever increasing socio-economic value of the capital. The land in low-lying areas of the river delta is protected against flooding by river dyke systems. According to official historical records, in 1108, King Ly Nhan Tong ordered the construction of the first dyke with solid foundations on a large scale aimed at protecting the capital of Thang Long (now Hanoi).

The Water Balance of China and Its Large River Basins
Hydrology for the Water Management of Large Riva- Basins (Proceedings of the Vienna Symposium, August 1991). IAHS Publ. no. 201, 1991. THE WATER BALANCE OF CHINA AND ITS LARGE RIVER BASINS LIU GUOWEI AND GUI YUENG Nanjing Institute of Hydrology and Water Resources China ABSTRACT The Yangtze River, Yellow River and other five large river basins are the largest ones in China, with a total area amount ing to about 4 333 687 km2 and covering both humid and arid/semi- arid regions. Based on the computation of atmospheric vapour transport, precipitation, évapotranspiration and runoff, water bal ance models for the whole country and its seven large river basins have already been developed. Through analyses with the models, some characteristics of hydrologie cycles in the river basins, includ ing the origins and routes of atmospheric moisture flux, the water circulation coefficients, etc., have been determined. The results provide a hydrologie basis for water resources assessment and management in China. INTRODUCTION China is located in the East Asian monsoon region, where the hydrologie cycle presents a monsoon climate regime. Every year in May, with the monsoon onset, the rainy season begins in the region south of 25 °N in China. During June to July, the rain band advances to the south of 35°N, and in the whole country the rainy season has developed by August. From November to March of the next year, it is a dry season, and there is a transient season from April to September. The whole country can be divided into three hydrologic-climatic zones: humid, semi-arid and arid zone.
