The topographical conditions of China are very complex, but the general tendency is higher in the west and lower in the east. The climatic conditions of China are complex and multiple in nature. Monsoon climate is a predominant feature of the country which, with its most part under the influence of SE and SW monsoons possesses the peculiarity that it is humid and ample in rainfall around the southeast while dry and scarce in precipitation in the northwest. Generally, the regional distribution of precipitation in China is extensively uneven. According to the quantity and character of precipitation in various areas, the country can be divided into 5 types of zones, viz. a very humid zone, a humid zone, a semi-humid zone, a semi-arid zone and an arid zone.

  • Areas Benefiting from Water Conservation in Key Ecological Function Areas in China
    Nov., 2015 Journal of Resources and Ecology Vol.6 No.6 J. Resour. Ecol. 2015 6 (6) 375-385 Eco. Compensation DOI:10.5814/j.issn.1674-764x.2015.06.005 www.jorae.cn Areas Benefiting from Water Conservation in Key Ecological Function Areas in China XIAO Yu1*, ZHANG Changshun1 and XU Jie1,2 1 Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, CAS, Beijing 100101, China; 2 University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China Abstract: Ecosystem services are transferred from the service-providing area to the service-benefiting area to satisfy human needs through some substance, energy or information. Most studies focus on the provision of ecosystem services and few focus on the demands on ecosystem services and their spatial distribution. Here, on the basis of the flow of water conservation services from the providing area to the benefiting area, the benefits produced by water conservation service are investigated and the benefiting areas are identified. The results indicate that in 2010 the water conservation service of key ecological function areas provided irrigation water for 1.67×105 km2 of paddy fields and 1.01×105 km2 irrigated fields, domestic water to urban residents and industrial water to factories, mines and enterprises of 2.64×104 km2 urban construction land and domestic water to rural residents across 3.73×104 km2 of rural settlements and formed 6.64×104 km2 of inland water which can be used for freshwater aquaculture, downstream regions comprise 1.31×104 km of navigable river, which can be used for inland shipping. The benefit areas of the key function areas located in the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River are greater and more influential benefit areas.

  • Alexander Wylie's 1867 Travels
    Alexander Wylie’s Travels on Shu Roads in 18671 David Jupp September 2012 (Updates on Itinerary in April 2013 & 2015) Introduction Alexander Wylie (1815-1887) (Chinese name: Weilie Yali 伟烈 亚力) was a British Protestant Missionary who spent many years in China and was well-known for his Chinese language skill and scholarship. He seems to have had a similar approach to Walter Medhurst and others in that he mastered Chinese language and literature (Wylie, 1867a) and put particular effort into translating English into Chinese language books. He also wrote articles in Chinese containing “Useful Knowledge” such as mathematics, astronomy and engineering. This approach reasoned that only when Chinese had modernised would they become fully receptive to the Christian Gospel. He is also well-known for his collected biographies of Missionaries to China (Wylie, 1867b) and (well before Joseph Needham) bringing to the attention of the west the advanced state of Chinese science and mathematics in the past. After China had been opened by the Opium Wars, Wylie was active in finding out as much as possible about the interior of China. After 1860, the Taiping rebellion had been extinguished and the most unequal of the “Unequal Treaties”, the “Treaty of Tien-tsin”, (Tienjin, 天津条约) had been signed in 1858 and was gradually coming into force. The Treaty established foreign legations in Beijing; unlimited access for foreign vessels to the Yangtze River; foreigners to travel into the interior for travel, trade and missionary activities; Chinese to be Christian if they wished and various other things such as payment of a large amount of money, legalisation of the Opium Trade etc.
