  • Risen from Chaos: the Development of Modern Education in China, 1905-1948
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Risen from Chaos: the development of modern education in China, 1905-1948 Pei Gao A thesis submitted to the Department of Economic History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy London, March 2015 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 72182 words. I can confirm that my thesis was copy edited for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Eve Richard. Abstract My PhD thesis studies the rise of modern education in China and its underlying driving forces from the turn of the 20th century. It is motivated by one sweeping educational movement in Chinese history: the traditional Confucius teaching came to an abrupt end, and was replaced by a modern and national education model at the turn of the 20th century. This thesis provides the first systematic quantitative studies that examine the rise of education through the initial stage of its development.

  • Chapter 4: Strong Earthquake Motion Observations
    339 CHAPTER 4: STRONG EARTHQUAKE MOTION OBSERVATIONS GENERAL ASPECTS OF STRONG-MOTION OBSERVATIONS DURING THE TANGSHAN EARTHQUAKE Peng Kezhong, Yu Shuangjiu and Guo Yuxue* The main shock accelerograms were recorded at most of the stations of the strong-motion accelerograph network in North China during the Tangshan earthquake of magnitude 7.8. Strong-motion records were also recorded at some of the stations during the Luanxian earth- quake of magnitude 7.1 and the Ninghe earthquake of magnitude 6.9. After the main shock of the Tangshan earthquake occurred some mobile observation stations were quickly deployed in Tangshan City and its nearby regions, and a number of near-source records from the aftershocks were obtained thereafter. I. Strong-Motion Accelerograph Network in North China After the 1966 Xingtai earthquake in Hebei Province a strong-motion accelerograph net- work of China was first established and developed slowly in North China. Prior to the July 28, 1976 Tangshan earthquake a total of 23 accelerographs had been installed. Among them, 18 accelerographs (Model RDZ1-12-66) were operated by the Institute of Engineering Mechanics, Academia Sinica (IEM), 3 accelerographs (Model RDZ1-12-66) were operated by the Institute of Earthquake Engineering, Chinese Academy of Building Research (IEE), one accelerograph (Model SG-4-12) by the Institute of Scientific Research, Ministry of Water Conservancy and Electric Power (ISR), and one accelerograph (Model SMAC-B2) by the Institute of Geophysics, State Seismological Bureau (IGP). After the Tangshan earth- quake of magnitude 7.8 another accelerograph was supplemented at Baliqiao in Tongxian County by IEE. The total of 24 accelerographs was deployed.

  • Daxing and Yuhua: One Business in Two Cities, 1921-1937 Juanjuan Peng
    Daxing and Yuhua: One Business in Two Cities, 1921-1937 JuanJuan Peng Yuhua and Daxing, two Chinese cotton mills, were both established in 1921. Although registered separately, the two business undertakings had the same parent company: Chuxing Textile Company. Right before Chuxing was forced to close in 1921 for political reasons, its shareholders established Yuhua and Daxing in order to transfer their capital and continue their business careers. Therefore, the two sister companies shared almost the same group of stockholders, and were both under the control of the same chairman of the board. Moreover, they were both in cotton textiles and had comparable scale. While the businesses shared many similarities, their local contexts differed strikingly. Yuhua is located in Wuhan, a big metropolis that had the reputation of being “Chinese Chicago.” In contrast, Daxing’s Shijiazhuang was an insignificant town with a population of 600 at the turn of twentieth century.1 Why did the owner-managers choose two locations with such a difference to establish the twin mills? What happened when the same business encountered two different contexts? How did local context shape local business, how did business react and influence its context, and how this reciprocal relationship differs from one city to another? By comparing Yuhua and Daxing, the first agenda of this project is to locate Chinese business back into its various local contexts and discover the intertwining relationship between industrial enterprises and their local context. This case study will also shed lights to Daxing’s importance in shaping the urbanization process of Shijiazhuang area. Before Daxing chose to build 1 According to Shimen Zhinan (The city guide of Shimen),1933, Shijiazhuang was a small village with 200 household and 600 population in 1887.

  • Greater China Factbook (2007) —————
    ————— THE GREATER CHINA FACTBOOK (2007) ————— PART II: TTHE CCHINESE PPROVINCES The provinces of China today Currently, there exist two states in China: the PRC and the ROC. The PRC consists of the provinces on the Chinese mainland and Hainan; the ROC controls Taiwan and several islets close to PRC’s Fujian Province. Though Taiwan does not belong to the PRC, the PRC regards Taiwan as a “renegade province” and part of the PRC. Thus, Taiwan’s inclusion in descriptions of China’s administrative organization reflects Beijing’s point of view, not the author’s. Today, China has 23 provinces (sheng 省)—one province (Taiwan) not part of the PRC; 5 Autonomous Regions (AR—zizhiqu 自治區); 4 special municipalities (zhixiashi 直轄市); and 2 Special Administrative Regions (SAR—tebie xingzhengqu 特別行政區). At the time of Mao Ze- dong’s death in September 1976, the PRC consisted of 21 provinces, 5 autonomous regions and 3 special municipalities—Hainan was part of Guangdong Province until April 1988, Chongqing was part of Sichuan Province until March 1997, Hong Kong was a British crown colony until July 1997, and Macau was a Portuguese possession until December 1999. The 5 Autonomous Regions were established after WW II—Guangxi in March 1958, Inner Mongolia in May 1947, Ningxia in October 1958, Tibet in September 1965, and Xinjiang in October 1955. Guangxi is an AR of the Chuang/Zhuang nationality (zhuang zu 壯族), Ningxia of the Chinese Muslims/Hui (huizu 回族), and Xinjiang of the Uighurs (weiwuer zu 維吾爾族). Additionally, 5 Special Economic Zones (SEZ—jingji tequ 經濟特區) were established in 1980 that are economic units but not provinces/regions/municipalities: Shenzhen 深圳 (Guang- dong Province), Shantou 汕頭 (Guangdong Province), Zhuhai 珠海 (Guangdong Province), Xiamen 廈門 (Fujian Province) and the whole of Hainan Province.
