pao chicken,The dish is believed to be named after Ding Baozhen (1820–1886), a late Qing Dynasty official and governor of Sichuan Province. His title was Gongbao (Kung-pao; Chinese: 宫保; pinyin: Gōngbǎo; Wade– Giles: Kung1-pao3; literally: "Palace Guardian").[1] The name "Kung Pao" chicken is derived from this title. During the Cultural Revolution, the dish's name became politically incorrect because of its association with the imperial system. The dish was renamed "Fast-fried chicken cubes" (Hongbao Jiding) or "chicken cubes with seared chiles" (Hula Jiding) by Maoist radicals until its political rehabilitation in the 1980s under Deng Xiaoping's reforms Healthy Cuisine Created using fresh and nutritionally balanced ingredients, Healthy Cuisine dishes contribute to optimal health and wellness (v) Vegetarian dish Dear Guest, should you have special dietary requirements, allergies, or may wish to know about the ingredients used, please ask a member of the staff Kindly note that in order to guarantee the quality of the dishes, there are no other food items served in this outlet other than listed on this menu All prices are quoted in Egyptian Pound (LE) and are subject to applicable fees and taxes as well as 12% service charge Mains – Vegetables Sautéed bok choy with garlic sauce (V) 蒜蓉小塘菜 125 Tofu and black mushroom clay pot, bok choy oyster sauce 北菇豆腐煲 260 Stir fried mixed vegetables (V) 炒鲜时蔬 120 Mapo tofu (V) 麻婆豆腐 230 Braised eggplant with chilli bean sauce (V) 鱼香茄子 110 Poached lettuce with oyster sauce (V) 蠔油扒生菜 110 Healthy Cuisine Created using fresh and nutritionally balanced ingredients, Healthy Cuisine dishes contribute to optimal health and wellness (v) Vegetarian dish Dear Guest, should you have special dietary requirements, allergies, or may wish to know about the ingredients used, please ask a member of the staff Kindly note that in order to guarantee the quality of the dishes, there are no other food items served in this outlet other than listed on this menu All prices are quoted in Egyptian Pound (LE) and are subject to applicable fees and taxes as well as 12% service charge Rice and Noodle Fried rice with vegetables (V) 什菜炒饭 110 Yang chow fried rice 扬州炒饭 190 Fried rice with prawn and vegetables in xo sauce X.O酱鲜虾炒饭 255 Spicy fried rice (V) 香辣菜粒炒饭 110 Wok fried noodles with mixed vegetables (V) 杂菜炒面 115 Wok fried noodles, onion and beef 牛河炒面 270 Wok fried noodles with mixed seafood 海鲜炒面 230 Healthy Cuisine Created using fresh and nutritionally balanced ingredients, Healthy Cuisine dishes contribute to optimal health and wellness

Coleman, IV All rights reserved Abstract Making the State on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier: Chinese Expansion and Local Power in Batang, 1842-1939 William M. Coleman, IV This dissertation analyzes the process of state building by Qing imperial representatives and Republican state officials in Batang, a predominantly ethnic Tibetan region located in southwestern Sichuan Province. Utilizing Chinese provincial and national level archival materials and Tibetan language works, as well as French and American missionary records and publications, it explores how Chinese state expansion evolved in response to local power and has three primary arguments. First, by the mid-nineteenth century, Batang had developed an identifiable structure of local governance in which native chieftains, monastic leaders, and imperial officials shared power and successfully fostered peace in the region for over a century. Second, the arrival of French missionaries in Batang precipitated a gradual expansion of imperial authority in the region, culminating in radical Qing military intervention that permanently altered local understandings of power. While short-lived, centrally-mandated reforms initiated soon thereafter further integrated Batang into the Qing Empire, thereby

Sichuan cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines in China. At present, there are some good researches on the translation of the names of Sichuan cuisine. This paper investigates ten Chinese restaurants in Britain and the United States, and two restaurants in Switzerland. It analyzes the common translation methods of Sichuan cuisine, and then comes to the conclusion that transliteration plus free translation is the best way to translate Sichuan cuisine, and the translation method of dish names with high differentiation and easy memory is used, which is convenient for Chinese dishes to go out in the context of globe business.

Put simply, xinzheng was a modernization drive implemented throughout the Qing empire in order to save the dynasty from irreversible decline and, to a certain extent, to emulate the astounding success of the Meiji reforms in neighbouring Japan. For the purpose of this thesis, the analysis has been subdivided into the categories of agrarian policy, administrative reform, training of new armies, establishment of modern schools, introduction of new enterprises, exploitation of natural resources, construction of railways, and establishment of postal and telegram services.

  • State Adoption of Transformative Technology: Early Railroad Adoption in China and Japan
    International Studies Quarterly (2017) 0,1–14 State Adoption of Transformative Technology: Early Railroad Adoption in China and Japan J ON SCHMID AND JONATHAN H UANG Georgia Institute of Technology Steam locomotives, a transformative transportation technology, experienced quick and wide adoption among major Western powers in the nineteenth century. However, when this technology reached East Asia later in the century, Japan enthusiastically adopted it while China did not. Why was this the case? This article investigates the difference in railroad technology adoption between late Qing China and Meiji-era Japan. Through analysis of historical accounts as well as original source documents, we argue that variations in concern for internal and external security were important determinants of the distinct adoption deci- sions. The Qing Court’s apprehension that technological change would lead to domestic social unrest and make China vulnera- ble to external threats deterred it from adopting railroads. In Japan, the Meiji leadership faced a less-pronounced internal and external threat environment. This allowed them to focus on the railroads’ potential to drive economic growth, consolidate ad- ministrative rule, and mobilize military resources. Our results suggest that perceptions regarding a technology’s expected effects may contribute more to technology adoption decisions than is suggested by the prevailing literature. Introduction this technology reached East Asia in the 1850s, however, Japan enthusiastically and effectively adopted it, while National and local governments increasingly face adoption China resisted foreign attempts to build rail lines and decisions for potentially transformative technologies such failed to support an indigenous domestic railroad indus- as autonomous vehicles, smart electricity grids, commercial try.
