It was located near overland trade routes and links to the ports on the Arabian Sea and consequently its art incorporated Indian, Persian and Greco- Roman styles. The latter style, brought to Central Asia by Alexander the Great (327/26–325/24 BCE) during his conquest of the region, particularly influenced the art of Gandhara. This stylistic influence is evident in facial features, curly hair and classical style costumes seen in images of the Buddha and bodhisattvas that recall sculptures of Apollo, Athena and other GaecoRoman gods. A second-century CE statue carved in gray schist, a local stone, shows the Buddha, with halo, ushnisha, urna, dressed in a monk’s robe, seated in a cross-legged yogic posture similar to that of the male figure with horned headdress on the Indus seal. -

Chemical Features of Atmospheric Particulate Matter in Longmen
625 A publication of CHEMICAL ENGINEERING TRANSACTIONS VOL. 66, 2018 The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering Online at www.aidic.it/cet Guest Editors: Songying Zhao, Yougang Sun, Ye Zhou Copyright © 2018, AIDIC Servizi S.r.l. ISBN 978-88-95608-63-1; ISSN 2283-9216 DOI: 10.3303/CET1866105 Chemical Features of Atmospheric Particulate Matter in Longmen Grottoes Ru Wang, Hongfang Tian* Management Department, Shijiazhuang University of Applied Technology, Shijiazhuang 050081, China [email protected] In recent years, the pollution of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been increasing in China. Particularly in the northern heating season, dust-haze has been very serious. Air pollution has a wide range of influence, which not only poses a hazard to human health, but also has a negative impact on the landscape of the scenic spot. This paper, by selecting the scenic spot- Longmen Grottoes as the object of research, applies the whole- sample analysis technique to determine the concentration of PM2.5 in the scenic spot. Then it analyses water- soluble ions, carbonaceous substances, and heavy metal elements one by one. Finally, it’s concluded that: (1) The concentration of PM2.5 in the Longmen Grottoes area exceeds the limit, esp., in winter, which may be related to coal burning; (2) The calculation of the cation-anion balance shows that the atmospheric PM2.5 in the scenic spot is acidic, acidifying the precipitation, and causing corrosion and damage to the grottoes surface; (3) The linear correlation of OC (organic carbon) and EC (elemental carbon) concentrations in the atmospheric PM2.5 of the scenic spot is relatively high, indicating that their sources of pollution are the same; (4) Zn, Pb, and Cr in the atmospheric PM2.5 components are the main heavy metal elements. -
ABSTRACT Title of Document: the ANTI-CONFUCIAN CAMPAIGN
ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE ANTI-CONFUCIAN CAMPAIGN DURING THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION, AUGUST 1966-JANUARY 1967 Zehao Zhou, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Directed By: Professor James Gao, Department of History This dissertation examines the attacks on the Three Kong Sites (Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, Confucius Cemetery) in Confucius’s birthplace Qufu, Shandong Province at the start of the Cultural Revolution. During the height of the campaign against the Four Olds in August 1966, Qufu’s local Red Guards attempted to raid the Three Kong Sites but failed. In November 1966, Beijing Red Guards came to Qufu and succeeded in attacking the Three Kong Sites and leveling Confucius’s tomb. In January 1967, Qufu peasants thoroughly plundered the Confucius Cemetery for buried treasures. This case study takes into consideration all related participants and circumstances and explores the complicated events that interwove dictatorship with anarchy, physical violence with ideological abuse, party conspiracy with mass mobilization, cultural destruction with revolutionary indo ctrination, ideological vandalism with acquisitive vandalism, and state violence with popular violence. This study argues that the violence against the Three Kong Sites was not a typical episode of the campaign against the Four Olds with outside Red Guards as the principal actors but a complex process involving multiple players, intraparty strife, Red Guard factionalism, bureaucratic plight, peasant opportunism, social ecology, and ever- evolving state-society relations. This study also maintains that Qufu locals’ initial protection of the Three Kong Sites and resistance to the Red Guards were driven more by their bureaucratic obligations and self-interest rather than by their pride in their cultural heritage. -

The layout of the pottery courtyard and the layout of related houses are also the research value. The Ming Dynasty pottery courtyard unearthed in this article is a true portrayal of the residential courtyards in northern China. Keywords: Pottery Courtyard, Courtyard-Style Dwellings, Northern Dwellings 1. Pottery House, Pottery Courtyard This time I went to the Henan Museum, not only to appreciate the cultural relics but also to have a certain understanding and understanding of a part of the history of Henan. After the precipitation of history, everything becomes a cultural relic and has a story behind it. The house that will be mainly described in this article (Figure 1) is an ancient northern Chinese house, and this house is also a true portrayal of an ancient northern Chinese house. Figure 1 Pottery Garden (Self-portrait of Henan Museum) Ming wares are burial objects made in ancient China imitating real objects, and they entrust the living people's deep mourning, infinite grief, and blessings for their souls forever. -
