    2018 International Conference on Advanced Chemical Engineering and Environmental Sustainability (ICACEES 2018) ISBN: 978-1-60595-571-1 Investigation on the Remaining Situation of West Post Road in the Ancient City of Jinyang—Taking the Ancient Village of Zhoujiazhuang, The First Station in the West of Taiyuan as an Example Chong-En Wang and Wen Bin Fan ABSTRACT Through the field investigation, site visit and other methods, this paper analyzes the ancient village of Zhoujiazhuang, Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. It is found that the ancient village is located in the ancient post road when going out of the ancient city of Jinyang in the west, and it is a very important link in the post road. There are many historical and cultural relics around the ancient village. Through the collection and arrangement of the building information and documents, the paper analyzes the surrounding environment and architectural layout of the ancient village, so as to provide the basis for the protection and utilization of the traditional village as well as the sustainable development strategy.1 KEYWORDS The Ancient Village of Zhoujiazhuang, Fengyu Valley; The Ancient Post Road, Engraved Rock.

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic License . Shanxi (山西) and its fertile loess-covered landscapes are also known as the cradle of China’s civilization. The 716-km-long Fen River (汾河) or Mother River (母亲河) drains most of the province via the basin of Taiyuan. The river’s stunning scenery, once the subject of poetry during the Jin (金朝, 1125–1234) and Yuan (元朝, 1279–1368) dynasties, quickly deteriorated after industrialization in the late 1950s. The construction of dams, extensive irrigation of farmland, and wastewater discharge severely impacted the river’s ecosystem. From 1956 to 2013, the average surface runoff fell from 2.65 billion m³ to 1.33 m³. Moreover, overexploitation of groundwater dropped the groundwater level in the Fen River basin by 81.4 meters.

  • Resource-Based City Type and Reforming Strategy Discussion and Research
    2016 4th International Conference on Advances in Social Science, Humanities, and Management (ASSHM 2016) ISBN: 978-1-60595-412-7 Resource-based City Type and Reforming Strategy Discussion and Research Junwei Xing1 Abstract The resource-based city can divides according to the Israeli resource type and development phase two big standards. The resource-based city economic transformation strategy first should from the macroscopic level, seek for the regional economic development the new superiority, next should act according to the new regional development favorable condition that establishes the pattern of industrial transformation from the microscopic level. Keywords. Resource-based City; Type; Reforming Strategy. 1. INTRODUCTION The resource-based city is our country important foundation energy and raw material supplying place, development display excessively significant role to our country national economy. But as a result of the non-renewability of finiteness and resources of resource, the resource-based city sooner or later must face the issue of economic transformation, otherwise possibly enters the winter. At present, a considerable number of resource-based cities in China have been facing a series of economic and social problems such as resource depletion, economic recession, environmental degradation, unemployment and the increase of the poor population. These resource-based cities have become the problem areas in which regional contradictions are concentrated. Therefore, how to guide these cities to successfully transform and achieve sustainable development has become an important topic of concern for both academia and government. 2. Classification of Resource-based Cities Resource based cities are mainly built up by the development of resources. Although the overall pattern of urban growth and development is similar, because of the differences of the economic development factors such as natural resources, geographical conditions and other economic development factors, the difference between different resource cities is very large.

This biostratigraphic scheme includes in chronological order the late Griesbachian Ophiceras medium and Jieshaniceras guizhouense beds, and the middle Dienerian Ambites radiatus bed. The latter is recognized for the first time as a separate biozone in South China. Eight genera and 13 species are identified, includ- ing one new species, Mullericeras gujiaoense n. sp. The new data show that a relatively high level of ammonoid taxonomic richness occurred rather rapidly after the Permian/Triassic mass extinction in the late Griesbachian, echo- ing similar observations in other basins, such as in the Northern Indian Margin.
