  • Social Complexity in North China During the Early Bronze Age: a Comparative Study of the Erlitou and Lower Xiajiadian Cultures
    Social Complexity in North China during the Early Bronze Age: A Comparative Study of the Erlitou and Lower Xiajiadian Cultures GIDEON SHELACH ACCORDING TO TRADITIONAL Chinese historiography, the earliest Chinese state was the Xia dynasty (twenty-first-seventeenth centuries B.C.), which was lo­ cated in the Zhongyuan area (the Central Plain). The traditional viewpoint also relates that, over the next two millennia, complex societies emerged in other parts of present-day China through the process of political expansion and cul­ tural diffusion from the Zhongyuan. Some scholars recently have challenged this model because it is unilinear and does not allow for significant contributions to the emergence of social compleXity from areas outside the Zhongyuan. Recent syntheses usually view the archaeological landscape of the late Neolithic Period (the second half of the third millennium B.C.) as a mosaic of cultures of compar­ able social complexity that interacted and influenced each other (Chang 1986; Tong 1981). Nevertheless, when dealing with the Early Bronze Age, the period identified with the Xia dynasty, most archaeologists still accept the main premises of the traditional model. They regard the culture or cultures of the Zhongyuan as the most developed and see intercultural interaction as occurring, if at all, only within the boundaries of that area. One of the most heated debates among Chinese archaeologists in recent years has been over the archaeological identification of the Xia dynasty. The partici­ pants in this debate accept the authenticity of the historical documents, most of which were written more than a thousand years after the events, and try to cor­ relate names of historical places and peoples to known archaeological sites and cultures.

  • List 3. Headings That Need to Be Changed from the Machine- Converted Form
    LIST 3. HEADINGS THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED FROM THE MACHINE- CONVERTED FORM The data dictionary for the machine conversion of subject headings was prepared in summer 2000 based on the systematic romanization of Wade-Giles terms in existing subject headings identified as eligible for conversion before detailed examination of the headings could take place. When investigation of each heading was subsequently undertaken, it was discovered that some headings needed to be revised to forms that differed from the forms that had been given in the data dictionary. This occurred most frequently when older headings no longer conformed to current policy, or in the case of geographic headings, when conflicts were discovered using current geographic reference sources, for example, the listing of more than one river or mountain by the same name in China. Approximately 14% of the subject headings in the pinyin conversion project were revised differently than their machine- converted forms. To aid in bibliographic file maintenance, the following list of those headings is provided. In subject authority records for the revised headings, Used For references (4XX) coded Anne@ in the $w control subfield for earlier form of heading have been supplied for the data dictionary forms as well as the original forms of the headings. For example, when you see: Chien yao ware/ converted to Jian yao ware/ needs to be manually changed to Jian ware It means: The subject heading Chien yao ware was converted to Jian yao ware by the conversion program; however, that heading now

Changsha is a highly industrialized city in Hunan Province, China, where the water quality is of great importance to the development of economy and environment in this area. We have analyzed the characteristics of ammonia nitrogen in the Xiang River in Changsha from 2016 to 2019. The results showed that in the main stem, concentrations of ammonia nitrogen were very low and reached the third water quality level. In the six tributaries, concentrations of ammonia nitrogen have increased, especially in Longwanggang and Liuyang River, where the latter of which has a large number of industries and domestic sewage. Correlations between monthly precipitation and ammonia nitrogen concentrations were negative, besides two sites Jinjiang and Juzizhou, indicating that in most rivers, ammonia nitrogen contents had been diluted by rainfall. In general, concentrations and fluxes of ammonia nitrogen have decreased significantly during this time period, suggesting that water environment has improved greatly under the series of the clean motions by the local government. 1 Introduction nitrogen in streamflow and to identify the potential pollution in the Xiang River basin in Changsha. Changsha city, which is located in Hunan province, includes both rural and highly industrialized urban areas.

  • The Countermeasure Research of Sustainable Development in the Fuxian Lake Basin
    2021 4th International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences & Humanities (SOSHU 2021) The Countermeasure Research of Sustainable Development in the Fuxian Lake Basin Qingjuan Meng, Guangzhou Zhao, Yong Tang, Yuanlin Hu, Jie Li, Hongzhe Zhang, Zhifang Chen, Junjie Li, Zhenhua Song, Hailong Wang, Youlin Zhang Oxbridge College, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming, Yunnan, China, 650106 Keywords: The Countermeasure, Research of Sustainable Development, Fuxian Lake Abstract: The sustainable development of the Fuxian Lake Basin aims to maintain the sound and sustainable development of mountains, rivers, forests, croplands, lakes, and grasses in the basin and to coordinate the relationship of society, economy, environment, production, life, and ecological water utilization so that social economy in the basin can adapt to the carrying capacity of water resource environment to determine needs and development with rivers. Development is conducting in protection while protection is implementing in development, so as to strongly develop the circular economy. On the basis of the water environmental transition in the Fuxian Lake, this thesis analyzed the developmental status and existing problems of the Fuxian Lake Basin and put forward countermeasures from four aspects including ecological development, economic development, social development, and scientific development, hoping to provide theoretical support and practical experience of the sustainable development research for plateau lakes. The Fuxian Lake is situated in Yuxi City, Yunnan Province. It is the deep-water freshwater lake with the greatest water storage and also the only high-quality freshwater lake of China. The Fuxian Lake steps over Chengjiang, Jiangchuan, and Huaning, situated in the central part of five lakes(the Fuxian Lake, the Xingyun Lake, the Qilu Lake, Yangzong Lake, and Dianchi)(Figure 1).
