  • Protection and Transmission of Chinese Nanyin by Prof
    Protection and Transmission of Chinese Nanyin by Prof. Wang, Yaohua Fujian Normal University, China Intangible cultural heritage is the memory of human historical culture, the root of human culture, the ‘energic origin’ of the spirit of human culture and the footstone for the construction of modern human civilization. Ever since China joined the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2004, it has done a lot not only on cognition but also on action to contribute to the protection and transmission of intangible cultural heritage. Please allow me to expatiate these on the case of Chinese nanyin(南音, southern music). I. The precious multi-values of nanyin decide the necessity of protection and transmission for Chinese nanyin. Nanyin, also known as “nanqu” (南曲), “nanyue” (南乐), “nanguan” (南管), “xianguan” (弦管), is one of the oldest music genres with strong local characteristics. As major musical genre, it prevails in the south of Fujian – both in the cities and countryside of Quanzhou, Xiamen, Zhangzhou – and is also quite popular in Taiwan, Hongkong, Macao and the countries of Southeast Asia inhabited by Chinese immigrants from South Fujian. The music of nanyin is also found in various Fujian local operas such as Liyuan Opera (梨园戏), Gaojia Opera (高甲戏), line-leading puppet show (提线木偶戏), Dacheng Opera (打城戏) and the like, forming an essential part of their vocal melodies and instrumental music. As the intangible cultural heritage, nanyin has such values as follows. I.I. Academic value and historical value Nanyin enjoys a reputation as “a living fossil of the ancient music”, as we can trace its relevance to and inheritance of Chinese ancient music in terms of their musical phenomena and features of musical form.

The present water discharge of the Mekong River to the sea can be estimated to be 400 km3 yr−1, +/− 100 km3 yr−1 depending on El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and the present sediment supply to the sea can be estimated to be 40 Mt yr−1, +/− 20 Mt yr−1 depending on ENSO. The ENSO influence (proxied by the Southern Oscillation Index—SOI) on Q (water discharge) and Qs (sediment flux) is at maximum at a time lag of 8–9 months.

An Informatics Tool for Water Resources Management in Shanghai City Tao Tao1), Li Shuping1), Liu Suiqing1) and Fu Xiang2) 1)State Key Laboratory of Pollution Control and Resource Reuse, Tongji University, 1239 Siping Road, Shanghai City 200092, China, [email protected] 2)School of Water Resource and Hydropower, Wuhan University, Wuhan City 430072, China Abstract The main subject of this paper is the water resources management informat- ics tool in use in Shanghai. Information-based capability is an important indi- cator of national strength, international competitiveness and degree of mod- ernization. Information has become a strong new motive for the development of social productivity and progress in human civilization. Water information provides us with the technological foundation for transforming traditional water management practices into a modern system adhering to the principles of sustainable development. It is also an effective means for promoting the scientific management and working efficiency of water resources. This paper describes the data information management system used for urban water resources in Shanghai. Data management is at the core of an integrated water information management system. “Water resources (surface water and groundwater)-Environment-Social-Economic” constitute a complex system with many sub-systems that affect and depend on each other. Thus the vol- ume of data in water resource information is very large, and the structure of the key elements and their

  • UCL IOE Confucius Institute Programme of Study for Primary Mandarin
    UCL IOE Confucius Institute Programme of Study for Primary Mandarin This is a reworking of the original Primary Programme of Study which was created principally for teachers with a working knowledge of Mandarin. In this version, a greater emphasis is placed on cultural input which can be developed by classroom teachers with limited or no Mandarin, working in conjunction with whatever level of language input is available to them through native-speaker teachers such as Hanban teachers or British Council CLAs. The language content and overall approach remain the same as the original PoS, but it is hoped that this new presentation will prove more helpful to the non-specialist teachers and allow a greater variety of levels of engagement with Mandarin Chinese. For schools teaching very little or no actual Chinese language, the framework based on key places in China with accompanying video material is designed to provide a stimulating and accessible jumping off point for exploring the richness and variety of Chinese history and culture. There is a linked but separate scheme for the introduction of Chinese characters, and the two should be used in conjunction. The content of the PoS remains aligned to the requirements for the Youth Chinese Test (YCT) Level One, and links are made to relevant activities in Better Chinese’s Better YCT iPad apps Volumes 1 & 3 My China Adventure 发现中国 Harbin 哈尔滨 Turfan 吐鲁番 Dunhuang 敦煌 Beijing 北京 Yellow River 黄河 Xi’an 西安 Chengdu 成都 Suzhou 苏州 Chongqing 重庆 Yangtze river 长江 Shanghai 上海 Lijiang 丽江 桂林 Guilin 北京 Beijing 上海 Shanghai 西安 Xi’an 成都 Chengdu 重庆 Chongqing 敦煌 Dunhuang 丽江 Lijiang 吐鲁番 Turfan 哈尔滨 Harbin 苏州 Suzhou 桂林 Guilin 黄河 Yellow River 长江 Yangtze River Important Note - Tones At this stage, do not talk directly about the 4 tones with the students, but do explain that the rise or fall of your voice is important; most will accurately mimic your tone, so keep repeating until you are happy that they are reproducing what you say without explaining more.

    UNDERSTANDING THE GEOGRAPHIES OF CHINA An Assemblage of Pieces Luoyang pit house. BY ROBERT W. MCCOLL Sichuan-Tibet Frontier. Ningxia, Loess, north of Guyuan. Hong Kong harbor. Sand dunes of Dunhuang. Yangzi Valley — Three Gorges. Shenzen. Guangzhou. 4 EDUCATION ABOUT ASIA Volume 4, Number 2 Fall 1999 China not only has the world’s largest population (over 1.3 billion), but it also is an extremely large country (more than 9.5 million square kilometers) with immense physical and cultural diversity. In fact, China should be viewed as an assemblage of pieces much like Europe. Anyone who tries to teach the geography of China faces the dilemma of either being very general (almost superficial) or delving into so many aspects and details as to be unable to complete the task in a single semester. How does one integrate three thousand years of history, language, local cultural practices, diets, architecture, et al. with basic physical geographies and economics that range from subsistence farming and herding to sophisticated electronics and computer industries in cities like Shanghai or Shenzhen? o provide a sense of China’s SOME USEFUL THEMES REGIONALLY DISTINCTIVE diversity and its rich cultural Simply memorizing maps and map loca- CHARACTERISTICS fabric, one should probably tions is not geography.

    Climate Variability and Human Activities in Relation to Northeast Asian Land-Ocean Interactions and Their Implications for Coastal Management 2005-05-CMY-Adrianov Final Report submitted to APN ©Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research, 2006 Overview of project work and outcomes Summary In course of the 2-year APN-funded project, new data on estuarine and coastal changes in areas adjoining the Amur, Tumen and Razdolnaya Rivers were obtained, and recommendations for management of sustainable coastal development of the region are presented including China and Korea coastal zones. Two expeditions to Amur and Razdolnaya Rivers mouth areas were orga- nized, and hydrological regime, oceanography, environmental contamination, state of benthic and plankton comminities were investigated in connection with climatic changes. Three workshops were held: in Nanjing, China, Dec. 2004; Training Course for Young Scientists, Vladivostok, Russia, Oct. 2005; back-to-back with a science session for local policy-makers; in Vladivostok, May 2006. A website of the project was created (http://www.imb.dvo.ru/misc/apn/index.htm), and two books, Ecological Studies and State of the Ecosystem of Amursky Bay and Razdolnaya River Mouth and a collective monograph are in preparation. Two books and 19 papers in peer- reviewed journals were published and/or prepared. Future directions may include comparison of different coastal management strategies and understanding of how we can use these national strategies to develop complex management approach. Objectives The main objectives of the project were: 1. to identify estuarine and coastal changes in terms of hydrology, hydrochemistry, geo- chemistry, geomorphology, ecosystem and material cycling patterns of the Northeastern Asia region, with special reference to the Amur, Tumen and Razdolnaya Rivers; 2.

  • Vertical Facility List
    Facility List The Walt Disney Company is committed to fostering safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney-branded products are manufactured. Numerous measures in support of this commitment are in place, including increased transparency. To that end, we have published this list of the roughly 7,600 facilities in over 70 countries that manufacture Disney-branded products sold, distributed or used in our own retail businesses such as The Disney Stores and Theme Parks, as well as those used in our internal operations. Our goal in releasing this information is to foster collaboration with industry peers, governments, non- governmental organizations and others interested in improving working conditions. Under our International Labor Standards (ILS) Program, facilities that manufacture products or components incorporating Disney intellectual properties must be declared to Disney and receive prior authorization to manufacture. The list below includes the names and addresses of facilities disclosed to us by vendors under the requirements of Disney’s ILS Program for our vertical business, which includes our own retail businesses and internal operations. The list does not include the facilities used only by licensees of The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates that source, manufacture and sell consumer products by and through independent entities. Disney’s vertical business comprises a wide range of product categories including apparel, toys, electronics, food, home goods, personal care, books and others. As a result, the number of facilities involved in the production of Disney-branded products may be larger than for companies that operate in only one or a limited number of product categories. In addition, because we require vendors to disclose any facility where Disney intellectual property is present as part of the manufacturing process, the list includes facilities that may extend beyond finished goods manufacturers or final assembly locations.

This Paper does not Represent US Government Views This Paper does not Represent US Government Views Scope Note Following the publication in 2008 of the National Intelligence Assessment on the National Security Implications of Global Climate Change to 2030, the National Intelligence Council (NIC) embarked on a research effort to explore in greater detail the national security implications of climate change in six countries/regions of the world: India, China, Russia, North Africa, Mexico and the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia and the Pacific Island States. For each country/region we are adopting a three-phase approach. • In the first phase, contracted research—such as this publication —explores the latest scientific findings on the impact of climate change in the specific region/country. • In the second phase, a workshop or conference composed of experts from outside the Intelligence Community (IC) will determine if anticipated changes from the effects of climate change will force inter- and intra-state migrations, cause economic hardship, or result in increased social tensions or state instability within the country/region.
