  • Historic Building Appraisal 1 Tsang Tai Uk Sha Tin, N.T
    Historic Building Appraisal 1 Tsang Tai Uk Sha Tin, N.T. Tsang Tai Uk (曾大屋, literally the Big Mansion of the Tsang Family) is also Historical called Shan Ha Wai (山廈圍, literally, Walled Village at the Foothill). Its Interest construction was started in 1847 and completed in 1867. Measuring 45 metres by 137 metres, it was built by Tsang Koon-man (曾貫萬, 1808-1894), nicknamed Tsang Sam-li (曾三利), who was a Hakka (客家) originated from Wuhua (五華) of Guangdong (廣東) province which was famous for producing masons. He came to Hong Kong from Wuhua working as a quarryman at the age of 16 in Cha Kwo Ling (茶果嶺) and Shaukiwan (筲箕灣). He set up his quarry business in Shaukiwan having his shop called Sam Lee Quarry (三利石行).

  • Xikang: Han Chinese in Sichuan's Western Frontier
    XIKANG: HAN CHINESE IN SICHUAN’S WESTERN FRONTIER, 1905-1949. by Joe Lawson A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Victoria University of Wellington 2011 Abstract This thesis is about Han Chinese engagement with the ethnically diverse highlands west and south-west of the Sichuan basin in the first half of the twentieth century. This territory, which includes much of the Tibetan Kham region as well as the mostly Yi- and Han-settled Liangshan, constituted Xikang province between 1939 and 1955. The thesis begins with an analysis of the settlement policy of the late Qing governor Zhao Erfeng, as well as the key sources of influence on it. Han authority suffered setbacks in the late 1910s, but recovered from the mid-1920s under the leadership of General Liu Wenhui, and the thesis highlights areas of similarity and difference between the Zhao and Liu periods. Although contemporaries and later historians have often dismissed the attempts to build Han Chinese- dominated local governments in the highlands as failures, this endeavour was relatively successful in a limited number of places. Such success, however, did not entail the incorporation of territory into an undifferentiated Chinese whole. Throughout the highlands, pre-twentieth century local institutions, such as the wula corvée labour tax in Kham, continued to exercise a powerful influence on the development and nature of local and regional government. The thesis also considers the long-term life (and death) of ideas regarding social transformation as developed by leaders and historians of the highlands.

  • CB(1)1051/15-16(04) Recommendation of Lugard Road As Pilot Site for the “Point-Line-Plane” Approach in Conservation
    CB(1)1051/15-16(04) Recommendation of Lugard Road as Pilot Site For the “Point-Line-Plane” Approach in Conservation 1. Introduction In 2014, the Antiquities Advisory Board (AAB) completed the policy review on the conservation of built heritage and recommended that the government examine the feasibility of conserving and protecting selected building cluster(s) of unique heritage value under the “point-line-plan” approach. The Administration later accepted the recommendations and announced its plan to carry out a pilot study on the “point-line-plane” approach for conservation. However the Report on the Policy Review on Conservation of Built Heritage compiled by AAB indicates that there was no suggested area or district that clearly stood out as suitable for the implementation of the “point-line-plane” approach. Therefore it is the aim of the present paper to suggest an area of heritage significance for the Administration to consider as a possible site to conduct the pilot study on the "point-line-plane" approach for conservation. This paper will outline the importance of Lugard Road in Hong Kong’s heritage environment and its unique cultural characteristics that make it a suitable site for conducting the pilot study on the “point-line-plane” approach for conservation.. 2. The "Point-Line-Plane" Approach in Heritage Conservation The "Point-Line-Plane" approach looks at individual buildings as points, buildings along a street as lines and collections of streets as planes. It calls for the extension of the scope of conservation beyond an individual building and consideration to the wider urban or rural setting with distinctive features.
