On the basis of such characters as small spheroid or near-spheroid, columnar layer composed of three zones, the outer zone consisted of stalagmite-like or coralliform secondary shell units, we established two new oogenera, one new and one combination oospecies: Stalicoolithus shifengensis oogen. et oosp. nov. and Coralloidoolithus shizuiwanensis oogen. et comb. nov. In addition, re-examination of the holotype of Shixingoolithus erbeni from the Upper Cretaceous Pingling Formation, Guangdong Province reveals that it was erroneously attributed to Spheroolithidae, and should be transferred to stalicoolithid. Consequently, we established a new oofamily: Stalicoolithidae oofam. nov. Stalicoolthids represents a new model of dinosaur eggshell and thus sheds new light on the formation and evolution of amniotic eggshells. dinosaur egg, stalicoolthids, Upper Cretaceous, Chichengshan Formation, Tiantai Basin Citation: Wang Q, Wang X L, Zhao Z K, et al.

  • The Revival of Tiantai Buddhism in the Late Ming: on the Thought of Youxi Chuandeng 幽溪傳燈 (1554-1628)
    The Revival of Tiantai Buddhism in the Late Ming: On the Thought of Youxi Chuandeng 幽溪傳燈 (1554-1628) Yungfen Ma Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Yungfen Ma All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Revival of Tiantai Buddhism in the Late Ming: On the Thought of Youxi Chuandeng 幽溪傳燈 (1554-1628) Yungfen Ma This dissertation is a study of Youxi Chuandeng’s (1554-1628) transformation of “Buddha-nature includes good and evil,” also known as “inherent evil,” a unique idea representing Tiantai’s nature-inclusion philosophy in Chinese Buddhism. Focused on his major treatise On Nature Including Good and Evil, this research demonstrates how Chuandeng, in his efforts to regenerate Tiantai, incorporated the important intellectual themes of the late Ming, especially those found in the Śūraṃgama Sūtra. In his treatise, Chuandeng systematically presented his ideas on doctrinal classification, the principle of nature-inclusion, and the practice of the Dharma-gate of inherent evil. Redefining Tiantai doctrinal classification, he legitimized the idea of inherent evil to be the highest Buddhist teaching and proved the superiority of Buddhism over Confucianism. Drawing upon the notions of pure mind and the seven elements found in the Śūraṃgama Sūtra, he reinterpreted nature-inclusion and the Dharma-gate of inherent evil emphasizing inherent evil as pure rather than defiled. Conversely, he reinterpreted the Śūraṃgama Sūtra by nature-inclusion. Chuandeng incorporated Confucianism and the Śūraṃgama Sūtra as a response to the dominating thought of his day, this being the particular manner in which previous Tiantai thinkers upheld, defended and spread Tiantai.

  • Zhejiang Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project, Zhejiang, China
    Zhejiang Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project, Zhejiang, China Summary Zhejiang, located in eastern part of China, consists of both rural and urban premises. The economic disparity is evident from the fact that the net income of urban people has been found to be more than double of the average net income of people in rural areas. The geographical disparity has added even more gaps between the two areas. The differences has also been seen in supply of basic prerequisites such as drinking water supply. As the province highly depends on surface water sources, an irregular rainfall and high precipitation only for short rainy seasons have induced irregular water supply. Moreover, the rural parts of the province lack sufficient water storage mechanisms and maintained water distribution pipelines, thereby aggravating the water supply problem. Thus, to cope up the problem, Zhejiang Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project was initiated by Chinese Government on September 2014 with half of financial aid provided by World Bank through International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD). The total estimated cost of project amounts to 400 million USD out of which 200 million USD is supposed to be funded through IBRD and the remaining would be covered by local bodies. The project concentrates on water supply to four major counties of Zhejiang, namely Anji, Fuyang, Tiantai and Longquan which on a whole is inhabited by more than 47 million people. The major components of the project include improvement of water supply and sanitation, training and capacity building and management of project with effective supervision. The prime concern of the project is, however, to strengthen the prevalent water supply chain and build new infrastructures (such as water treatment plants or pumping stations) within the projected area.
