    Conceptualizing the Blue Frontier: The Great Qing and the Maritime World in the Long Eighteenth Century Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultüt der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg Vorgelegt von Chung-yam PO Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Harald Fuess Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Joachim Kurtz Datum: 28 June 2013 Table of Contents Abstract 2 Acknowledgments 3 Emperors of the Qing Dynasty 5 Map of China Coast 6 Introduction 7 Chapter 1 Setting the Scene 43 Chapter 2 Modeling the Sea Space 62 Chapter 3 The Dragon Navy 109 Chapter 4 Maritime Customs Office 160 Chapter 5 Writing the Waves 210 Conclusion 247 Glossary 255 Bibliography 257 1 Abstract Most previous scholarship has asserted that the Qing Empire neglected the sea and underestimated the worldwide rise of Western powers in the long eighteenth century. By the time the British crushed the Chinese navy in the so-called Opium Wars, the country and its government were in a state of shock and incapable of quickly catching-up with Western Europe. In contrast with such a narrative, this dissertation shows that the Great Qing was in fact far more aware of global trends than has been commonly assumed. Against the backdrop of the long eighteenth century, the author explores the fundamental historical notions of the Chinese maritime world as a conceptual divide between an inner and an outer sea, whereby administrators, merchants, and intellectuals paid close and intense attention to coastal seawaters. Drawing on archival sources from China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and the West, the author argues that the connection between the Great Qing and the maritime world was complex and sophisticated.

  • The Superfamily Calopterygoidea in South China: Taxonomy and Distribution. Progress Report for 2009 Surveys Zhang Haomiao* *PH D
    International Dragonfly Fund - Report 26 (2010): 1-36 1 The Superfamily Calopterygoidea in South China: taxonomy and distribution. Progress Report for 2009 surveys Zhang Haomiao* *PH D student at the Department of Entomology, College of Natural Resources and Environment, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510642, China. Email: [email protected] Introduction Three families in the superfamily Calopterygoidea occur in China, viz. the Calo- pterygidae, Chlorocyphidae and Euphaeidae. They include numerous species that are distributed widely across South China, mainly in streams and upland running waters at moderate altitudes. To date, our knowledge of Chinese spe- cies has remained inadequate: the taxonomy of some genera is unresolved and no attempt has been made to map the distribution of the various species and genera. This project is therefore aimed at providing taxonomic (including on larval morphology), biological, and distributional information on the super- family in South China. In 2009, two series of surveys were conducted to Southwest China-Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces. The two provinces are characterized by karst limestone arranged in steep hills and intermontane basins. The climate is warm and the weather is frequently cloudy and rainy all year. This area is usually regarded as one of biodiversity “hotspot” in China (Xu & Wilkes, 2004). Many interesting species are recorded, the checklist and photos of these sur- veys are reported here. And the progress of the research on the superfamily Calopterygoidea is appended. Methods Odonata were recorded by the specimens collected and identified from pho- tographs. The working team includes only four people, the surveys to South- west China were completed by the author and the photographer, Mr.

Methods: Ninety-eight patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) who underwent PCI in our hospital were selected and divided into the regular group (n=46, receiving regular nursing intervention) and the comprehensive group (n=52, receiving multidimensional comprehensive nursing intervention) according to the different nursing intervention methods. The medication compliance, social function, quality of life, and inci- dence of MACE were compared between the two groups. Results: The comprehensive group showed significantly higher rates of taking medication on time, taking medication according to the proper amount, taking medication at the recomended times, no increase or decrease in the amount of medication, and taking medication without interruption than the regular group (P < 0.05).

It has been shown that microRNA-146 (miR-146) is involved in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses. The present study explored the protective effects of miR-146 overexpression on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated injury in A549 and H1975 cells. In this study, A549 and H1975 cells were transfected with miR-146 mimic or inhibitor, and then were subjected with LPS. Thereafter, cell viability, colony formation capacity, apoptosis, the release of proinflammatory factors, Sirt1 expression, and the expression of NF-jB and Notch pathway proteins were respectively assessed. As a result, miR- 146 overexpression exerted protective functions on LPS-damaged A549 and H1975 cells, as evidenced by the increases in cell viability and colony number, the decrease in apoptotic cell rate, as well as the down-regulations of IL-1, IL-6, and TNF- a.

The Nationalist Party first defined the Incident as a rebellion by pro-Japanese forces and communist saboteurs. As the enemy of the Nationalist Party in China’s Civil War (1946-1949), the Chinese Communist Party initially interpreted the Incident as a Taiwanese fight for political autonomy in the party’s wartime propaganda, and then reinterpreted the event as an anti-Nationalist uprising under its own leadership.

  • Lian Heng As a Linguist: a Critical Assessment
    Fourth Conference of the European Association of Taiwan Studies Stockholm 2007 Lian Heng as a linguist: a critical assessment Henning Klöter Leiden University [email protected] work in progress – do not quote 1. Introduction Lian Heng 連橫 (1878-1936; also known as Lian Yatang 連雅堂) is without doubt one the most important Taiwanese intellectuals of the Japanese colonial period. In recent years, academic interest in Lian and other well-known intellectuals of his time, such as Cai Peihuo 蔡培火, Jiang Weishui 蔣渭水, and Lin Xiantang 林獻堂, has grown considerably. As shown in previous biographical research on Lian Heng, his contributions are manifold and span diverse fields such as history, poetry, linguistics and journalism. It is in the nature of biographical studies to provide an all-encompassing account of historical personalities. However, such an endeavour for completeness runs the risk of neglecting, overstating or blurring particular aspects of a person’s accomplishments. This is certainly true of previous scholarship on Lian Heng’s linguistic studies. Referring to his Dictionary of Taiwanese (臺灣語典), scholars seem to agree that Lian was among Taiwan’s first linguists, or, in more elevated terms, the first rescuer of the Taiwanese language. As I will argue in this paper, however, the nature of Lian’s linguistic research has thus far not been adequately assessed and the general picture of the linguist Lian Heng remains vague. This paper will sharpen the picture by assessing the quantitative, qualitative, and ideological dimensions of Lian’s language studies. - 2 - 2. Lian Heng’s language research: historical background Lian Heng’s interest in language research came in the later years of his life.
