  • The Chinese Civil War (1927–37 and 1946–49)
    13 CIVIL WAR CASE STUDY 2: THE CHINESE CIVIL WAR (1927–37 AND 1946–49) As you read this chapter you need to focus on the following essay questions: • Analyze the causes of the Chinese Civil War. • To what extent was the communist victory in China due to the use of guerrilla warfare? • In what ways was the Chinese Civil War a revolutionary war? For the first half of the 20th century, China faced political chaos. Following a revolution in 1911, which overthrew the Manchu dynasty, the new Republic failed to take hold and China continued to be exploited by foreign powers, lacking any strong central government. The Chinese Civil War was an attempt by two ideologically opposed forces – the nationalists and the communists – to see who would ultimately be able to restore order and regain central control over China. The struggle between these two forces, which officially started in 1927, was interrupted by the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war in 1937, but started again in 1946 once the war with Japan was over. The results of this war were to have a major effect not just on China itself, but also on the international stage.

Original Language: Chinese Contents: English Translation ZHOU ENLAI, CHEN YI AND PHAM VAN DONG, VO NGUYEN GIAP Beijing, 12 April 1967 Zhou Enlai: …In the past ten years, we were conducting another war, a bloodless one: a class struggle. But, it is a matter of fact that among our generals, there are some, [although] not all, who knew very well how to conduct a bloody war, [but] now don’t know how to conduct a bloodless one. They even look down on the masses. The other day while we were on board the plane, I told you that our cultural revolution this time was aimed at overthrowing a group of ruling people in the party who wanted to follow the capitalist path. It was also aimed at destroying the old forces, the old culture, the old ideology, the old customs that were not suitable to the socialist revolution. In one of his speeches last year, Comrade Lin Biao said: In the process of socialist revolution, we have to destroy the “private ownership” of the bourgeoisie, and to construct the “public ownership” of the proletariat. So, for the introduction of the “public ownership” system, who do you rely on? Based on the experience in the 17 years after liberation, Comrade Mao Zedong holds that after seizing power, the proletariat should eliminate the “private ownership” of the bourgeoisie.

  • Application of AHP Method and TOPSIS Method in Comprehensive Economic Strength Evaluation of Major Cities in Guizhou Province
    2017 International Conference on Computer Science and Application Engineering (CSAE 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-505-6 Application of AHP Method and TOPSIS Method in Comprehensive Economic Strength Evaluation of Major Cities in Guizhou Province Liang Zhou*, Changdi Shi and Liming Luo Information Engineering College, Capital Normal University, 100048 Beijing, China ABSTRACT This paper establishes the comprehensive economic strength evaluation system of major cities in Guizhou province, and puts forward the evaluation model of comprehensive economic strength of major cities in Guizhou province based on the AHP method and the TOPSIS method. The AHP method was used to determine the weight of evaluation indicator. The TOPSIS method is used to calculate the positive and negative ideal solutions, analyses the case, and then the final ranking of the comprehensive economic strength of the major cities in Guizhou province. The result shows that the final ranking, from high to low, of comprehensive economic strength of the major cities in Guizhou province is: Guiyang, Zunyi, Liupanshui, Tongren and Anshun. The evaluation system of the comprehensive economic strength indicator of the major cities in Guizhou province has a certain practicability, which provides an evaluation basis in comprehensive economic strength for the major cities in Guizhou province. INTRODUCTION In recent years, with the establishment of large data centers and the promulgation of precision poverty alleviation policies, the national economy and social development of the major cities in Guizhou have made breakthrough progress, but the cities developed unevenly, so it is necessary to explore how to establish a good and scientific comprehensive economic evaluation system. This paper is focused on evaluating the comprehensive economic strength of major cities in Guizhou province effectively.

  • Field Research on Dong Ka Lau: a Case Study of Dong Villages in Liping County
    | N.º 21/22 | 2014 ( 279-284) Field research on Dong Ka Lau: A case study of Dong villages in Liping County CHEN YONGHONG * [ [email protected] ] LU JINHONG ** [ 595352091.qzone.qq.com ] Abstract | As an artistic and cultural phenomenon, Dong Ka Lau (Dong Chorus) ontology and its associated social, cultural and natural environment have begun to concern many experts and scholars at home and abroad, as well as local governments. On the basis of a field survey, this paper makes an investigation as to whether Dong Ka Lau will continue to manifest Dong minority people’s aesthetic consciousness and pursuits amid today’s rapidly developing local tourism eco- nomy. In addition, the influence on contemporary young people is also of great concern. The study found that commercial performance of Dong Ka Lau heritage in some Dong villages has lost its original cultural significance, while in other villages it has been a vital and inspirational tourism product, of which forms and cultural essence can still exist over a prolonged period of time. This research asserts that cultural ecological self-sustainability and identity can be strengthened and nourished by both external regulations on cultural displays as well as the endogenous power of ethnic minority villages. Keywords | Dong Ka Lau, External regulations, Endogenous power, Participation, Zhaoxing. Resumo | Como um fenómeno artístico e cultural, a ontologia de Dong Ka Lau (Refrão Dong) e o seu ambiente social, cultural e natural associado começaram a preocupar muitos especialistas e estudiosos nacionais e estrangeiros, bem como os governos locais. Com base numa pesquisa de campo, este trabalho de investigação tem por objetivo saber se Dong Ka Lau irá continuar a manifestar consciência estética pelos grupos minoritários Dong, num período de rápido desenvolvimento da economia do turismo local.

  • Mercury Accumulation in Vegetable Houttuynia Cordata Thunb. from Two
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Mercury accumulation in vegetable Houttuynia cordata Thunb. from two diferent geological areas in southwest China and implications for human consumption Qingfeng Wang1,2*, Zhonggen Li1,2, Xinbin Feng2, Ao Wang4, Xinyu Li2,3, Dan Wang1 & Leilei Fan1 Houttuynia cordata Thunb. (HCT) is a common vegetable native to southwest China, and grown for consumption. The results suggested that THg contents in all parts and MeHg in underground parts of HCT in Hg mining areas were much higher than those in non-Hg mining areas. The highest THg and MeHg content of HCT were found in the roots, followed by the other tissues in the sequence: roots > leaves > rhizomes > aboveground stems (THg), and roots > rhizomes > aboveground stems > leaves (MeHg). The average THg bioaccumulation factor (BCF) of HCT root in the Hg mining area and in non-Hg mining areas could reach 1.02 ± 0.71 and 0.99 ± 0.71 respectively, indicating that HCT is a Hg accumulator. And the THg and MeHg contents in all tissues of HCT, including the leaves, were signifcantly correlated with THg and MeHg content in the soil. Additionally, preferred dietary habits of HCT consumption could directly afect the Hg exposure risk. Consuming the aboveground parts (CAP) of HCT potentially poses a high THg exposure risk and consuming the underground parts (CUP) may lead to a relatively high MeHg exposure risk. Only consuming the rhizomes (OCR) of the underground parts could signifcantly reduce the exposure risk of THg and to some extent of MeHg. In summary, HCT should not be cultivated near the Hg contaminated sites, such as Hg tailings, as it is associated with a greater risk of Hg exposure and high root Hg levels, and the roots should be removed before consumption to reduce the Hg risk.

  • 'If You Don't Sing, Friends Will Say
    ‘If You Don’t Sing, Friends Will Say You are Proud’: How and Why Kam People Learn to Sing Kam Big Song * Catherine Ingram The 2.5 million Kam people, known in Chinese as dong zu 侗族 (the character zu, meaning ‘group,’ is appended to the names of all Chinese ethnic groups), are a southern Chinese people designated by the majority Han Chinese as one of China’s fifty-five so-called ‘minorities’.1 Most Kam people live in small towns and villages in the mountainous region of southwestern China that constitutes the borders of Guizhou, Guangxi and Hunan provinces (see Figures 1a and 1b). Life in these villages is based around subsistence agriculture, and many of the tall mountain slopes—as well as the valleys—are covered with terraced rice fields. The research presented in this article was undertaken mostly in Sheeam (in Chinese, Sanlong 三龙), a Kam region about 35 kilometres south-southwest of the centre of Liping county (黎平县) in southeastern Guizhou Province, and one of the most important areas where Kam ‘big song’ is still sung. Jai Lao, one of the two large villages in Sheeam, was my home and fieldwork base from December 2004 to March 2006 and from February to July 2008.2 The residents of Sheeam speak a version * I was privileged to be invited to participate in, research and record Kam music-making, and would like to thank once again the many Kam people who generously shared their knowledge of Kam culture and their remarkable singing traditions. Special thanks to Wu Meifang, Wu Pinxian, Wu Xuegui and Wu Zhicheng; and to Nay Liang-jiao (Wu Xueyun) and all her family.

  • Prevalence and Clinical Phenotype of the Triplicated Α-Globin Genes And
    Luo et al. BMC Med Genomics (2021) 14:97 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12920-021-00944-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Prevalence and clinical phenotype of the triplicated α-globin genes and its ethnic and geographical distribution in Guizhou of China Xi Luo1, Xiang‑mei Zhang1, Liu‑song Wu1, Jindong Chen2,3,4† and Yan Chen1*† Abstract Background: α‑thalassemia is relatively endemic in Guizhou province of southwestern China. To predict the clini‑ cal manifestations of α‑globin gene aberration for genetic counseling, we examined the prevalence of the α‑globin triplication and the genotype–phenotype correlation in this subpopulation Methods: A cohort of 7644 subjects was selected from nine ethnicities covering four regions in Guizhou province of China. Peripheral blood was collected from each participant for routine blood testing and hemoglobin electropho‑ resis. PCR‑DNA sequencing and Gap‑PCR were used to identify the thalassemia gene mutations. Chi‑square tests and one‑way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to statistically analyze the data. Results: We found that the frequency of α‑globin triplication in Guizhou province was 0.772% (59/7644). Genotypi‑ cally, the αααanti4.2/αα accounted for 0.523% (40/7644), the αααanti3.7/αα for 0.235% (18/7644), and the αααanti3.7/–SEA for 0.013% (1/7644). The αααanti4.2/αα is more prevalent than the αααanti3.7/αα in Guizhou. In addition, the frequency of the HKαα/αα (that by GAP‑PCR is like αααanti4.2/‑α3.7) was 0.235% (18/7644). Ethnically, the Tujia group presented the highest prevalence (2.47%) of α‑globin triplication.

Rosen Received: 17 May 2016; Accepted: 24 August 2016; Published: 29 August 2016 Abstract: A scientific definition of the type of mountain area and an exploration of the spatial correlation between different types of mountain areas and regional land use at the county level are important for reasonable land resource utilization and regional sustainable development. Here, a geographic information system was used to analyze digital elevation model data and to define the extent of mountainous land and types of mountain areas in Guizhou province. Exploratory spatial data analysis was used to study the spatial coupling relation between the type of mountain area and land use degree in Guizhou province at the county level. The results were as follows: (1) Guizhou province has a high proportion of mountainous land, with a ratio of mountainous land to non-mountainous land of 88:11. The county-level administrative units in Guizhou province were exclusively mountainous, consisting of eight semi mountainous counties, nine quasi mountainous counties, 35 apparently mountainous counties, 13 type I completely mountainous counties, and 23 type II completely mountainous counties; (2) The land use degree at the county level in Guizhou province have remarkable spatial differentiation characteristics.
