Under the Convention of Peking ending that war, Western powers for the. first time secured the right to e_stablish permanent diplomatic presences within the ci_ty. In 1900, the attempt by the "Boxers" to eradicate this presence, as weir as Chinese Christian converts, led to Beijing's reoccupation by fcireign powers.~~ During the fighting, several important structures were destroyed, including ihe Hanlin Academy and the (new) Summer Palace.

Hutong School www.hutong-school.com Introduction Chapter 1: Before your arrival Chapter 2: How to Survive Your First Week Chapter 3: Get The Most Out Of Your Week Chapter 4: Weekend Guide Chapter 5: Scams in China Introduction Chengdu is a metropolis that, like many Chinese cities, seems to have developed and modernized overnight. New metro lines are opening every year, new skyscrapers are constantly being erected, and many new companies and startups are finding their way into the city’s growing economy. As the capital of China’s Sichuan province, it does not sit on China’s populated East coast, but the city has taken steps to position itself as the primary economic hub for Western China. Everyone who knows at least a little bit about Chengdu will all share the same two initial thoughts of the city: spicy food and pandas. China’s Sichuan Province is the country’s cradle for spicy food, as the cuisine makes liberal use of peppers and garlic, including the uniquely flavored Sichuan pepper. Additionally, Chengdu is home to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, a breeding facility to help spur the population of the endangered giant panda bear. The total number of giant pandas left in the world is estimated at 1,500, with 80 percent located within the Sichuan Province. Outside of these two attractions, Sichuan offers plenty of opportunities to immerse yourself in China, while also hosting familiar Western amenities if you ever desire them. In this e-book we will cover everything from the beginning to the end of your Hutong School adventure.

  • Do Not Kill the Goose That Lays Golden Eggs: the Reasons of the Deficiencies in China’S Intellectual Property Rights Protection
    DO NOT KILL THE GOOSE THAT LAYS GOLDEN EGGS: THE REASONS OF THE DEFICIENCIES IN CHINA’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS PROTECTION XIUYI ZHENG MPhil University of York Law March 2015 Abstract China’s intellectual property protection, which has been considered weak and discussed for decades, is playing an increasingly significant role in global trading. In the past decades, China has made great strikes in its intellectual property rights (IPR) protection, while its performance is still not satisfactory, especially in the eyes of developed countries. Before taking any further coercive strategies, both developed countries and China should look into the reasons of the deficiencies in China’s IPR protection so that measures could be taken more efficiently. This thesis will focus on the detailed history of the development of China’s IPR protection with a historical method, thus justifying the theory that late start and slow development are the main two reasons of the deficiencies in China’s IPR system. The concept of IPR did not exist in China until the end of 19th century due to the influence of Confucianism. The weak awareness of IPR lasted till now. From the day that western forces brought the idea of IPR into China to the establishment of a genuine protection system, China experienced a violent social turbulence with many changes in regimes and guiding ideologies. Meanwhile, Chinese government was continuously in the dilemma: whether they should pursuit a better IPR protection system or learn advanced knowledge and technologies from developed countries. All these factors slowed down the development of IPR in China.

The University of Texas at Austin, 2015 Supervisor: Huaiyin Li This work is a modern history of Changsha, the capital city of Hunan province, from the late nineteenth to mid twentieth centuries. The story begins by discussing a battle that occurred in the city during the Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864), a civil war that erupted in China during the mid nineteenth century. The events of this battle, but especially its memorialization in local temples in the years following the rebellion, established a local identity of resistance to Christianity and western imperialism. By the 1890’s this culture of resistance contributed to a series of riots that erupted in south China, related to the distribution of anti-Christian tracts and placards from publishing houses in Changsha. During these years a local gentry named Ye Dehui (1864-1927) emerged as a prominent businessman, grain merchant, and community leader.

In order to optimize the passenger train working diagram and improve the passenger satisfaction towards a coordinated op- timization problem of departure time domains of multiple passenger trains at a station, the optimization model is designed to maximize the overall passenger travel satisfaction based on the quantification of the level of passenger travel satisfaction. .e simulated annealing algorithm is then used to solve the model. Finally, 23 pairs of passenger trains from Chengdu Railway Station are selected as examples to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm. .e result shows that the model and algorithm proposed in this paper can realize the coordinated optimization of the departure time of multiple trains at a station while considering the passengers’ travel satisfaction, which can provide an effective reference for the compilation of passenger train working diagram.

    Chinese Language Program Sichuan University As one of the national key universities directly under the State Ministry of Education (MOE) as well as one of the State “211 Project” and 985 Project” universities enjoying privileged construction in the Ninth Five-Year Plan period, the present Sichuan University (SCU) was first incorporated in April, 1994 with Chengdu University of Science and Technology (CUST), then a national key university under the MOE, and then reincorporated again in Sept, 2000 with the West China University of Medical Science (WCUMS), a key university directly under the State Ministry of Health in 2000. The former Sichuan University was one of the earliest institutes of higher learning in China, with a history dating back to Sichuan Zhong-Xi Xuetang (Sichuan Chinese and Western School), established in 1896. The predecessor of CUST is Chengdu Engineering College, set up in 1954 as the result of the nation-wide college and department adjustment. WCUMS originated from the private Huaxi Xiehe University (West China Union University), established in 1910 by five Christian missionary groups from U.S.A., UK and Canada. Over the course of its long history, SCU has acquired a profound cultural background and a solid foundation in its operation. The university motto “The sea is made great by accepting hundreds of rivers”, and university spirit of “rigorousness, diligence, truth-seeking, and innovation” are at the core of SCU’s raison d’etre. At present, Sichuan University is a first class comprehensive research university in Western China. The University has established 30 Colleges, a College of Graduate Studies, a School of Overseas Education and two independent colleges, Jin Cheng and Jin Jiang College.

In Dali, the void left by the fallen Nanzhao kingdom (649–903) was filled by a series of short-lived regimes, the longest of which was Da Changhe guo (903–927), or “The Great King- dom of Eternal Peace.” Though studies of the “Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms” omit Changhe, its rulers’ diplomatic strategies, and particularly their representa- tions of Buddhist kingship, aligned with the strategies of contemporaneous regimes. Like their counterparts to the east, Changhe rulers depicted themselves as heirs of the Tang emperors as well as the Buddhist monarchs Liang Wudi and Aªoka. This article uses understudied materials, including a 908 subcommentary to the Scripture for Humane Kings (Renwang jing) only found in Dali, to argue that Changhe belongs in discussions of religion and politics in tenth-century China, and tenth-century East Asia. keywords: Dali, Yunnan, Changhe kingdom, Scripture for Humane Kings, Buddhism, Five Dynas- ties and Ten Kingdoms, tenth century INTRODUCTION tudies of tenth-century East Asia have long recognized the limita- S tions of Ouyang Xiu’s 歐陽修 (1007–1072) “Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms” model, which took the Song dynastic viewpoint.
