I C.N., C. P I - Chapter 1 General 1.1 Origin of EIA Assignment Starting at Lianyungang, a large harbor in the east part of China, and ending at Huoerguosi, a port at the boundary at the west boundary, Luoyang-Sanmenxia expressway is one of the 12 main frames of highways planned by the Government. With a total length of 3980 km, it passes through Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Shannxi, Gansu and Xinjiang provinces (autonomous region). It is also one of the 'two longitudinal and two lateral' trunk roads proposed by the Ministry of Communications to be practically completed by the year of 2000. With a length of 630 km, the section distributed in Henan Province is a trunk road from east to west parts of the province as well as the backbone of the provincial economic development. Out of this length, Kaifeng-Zhengzhousection is alreadyopen to traffic while Zhengzhou-Luoyang section is under fast construction. As expected, Kaifeng-Luoyang expressway will be almost completed by the end of 1995. In YJJ No. 10 11993) "Notice on Assignment of Preparatory Works of Key Highway Construction Projects in 1993" issued on January 19, 1993, HenanProvincial Department of Communications required that preparatory works of Luoyang-Sanmenxia road be completed as soon as possible. When completed, this road will connect with the would-be completed Kaifeng-Luoyang expressway in the east and will link with Weinan-Tongguan expressway under active preparations in Shannxi Province in the west. As a result, all- round benefits of expressways will be brought to full play, which will greatly promote opening to the outside world and economic development of Henan Province. With a total length of 134.214 km, Luoyang-Sanmenxiaexpressway is estimated to cost a total about 4000 million RMB, including 200 million USD loans (1700 RMB) applied to source from the World Bank, with the rest will be self financed by Henan Province or subsidized by the Ministry of Communications. As required by relevant environmental management provisions for construction project of the Government and Henan Province as well as EIA provisions for World Bank-financed projects, a full-scale EIA is required to be completed for this road. As entrusted by Henan Provincial High-grade Highway Construction Authority", Henan Provincial Environmental Protection Institute is held responsible for EIA of this road (see Attachment I for Letter of Assignment). 1.2 Project Location, Size and Alignment Henan Province is located in the center part of China in the middle reaches of the Yellow River (see Map 1-1). The proposed road is situated in the west part of the province, on the south bank of the Yellow River (see Map 1-2 for the project location). This road will be built into a two-way four-lane road with a total length of 134.214 km according to standards for highways in heavy-hillyland areas. This road passes through Luoyang, Mengjin, Xinan, Yima, Mianchi, Shanxi and Sanmenxia. To avoid the settlement zone near Guanyintang in Shan-Mi:n mine area, two alignment schemes are proposed in the feasibility study report, one is aligned south and the other is aligned north of Guanyintang. Basedon comprehensive comparative analysis (see Chapter 6 for details), the south alignment scheme is recommended herein. 1* 1.3 EIAPurpose The purpose includes: 1) looking into physical eco-environment,agricultural eco- environmentand socioeconomicbackground along the proposedroad; 2) analyzingand predictingenvironmental impacts to be posedin both constructionand operation periods of this road; 3) environmentallyjustifying the feasibility of this road and its alignment scheme;4) proposingpractical environmental impact-offsetting and mitigatingmeasures, providing environmental protection organization establishment requirements and environmentalmonitoring programs; and 5) carryingout economicevaluation and analysis.

  • The Old Master
    INTRODUCTION Four main characteristics distinguish this book from other translations of Laozi. First, the base of my translation is the oldest existing edition of Laozi. It was excavated in 1973 from a tomb located in Mawangdui, the city of Changsha, Hunan Province of China, and is usually referred to as Text A of the Mawangdui Laozi because it is the older of the two texts of Laozi unearthed from it.1 Two facts prove that the text was written before 202 bce, when the first emperor of the Han dynasty began to rule over the entire China: it does not follow the naming taboo of the Han dynasty;2 its handwriting style is close to the seal script that was prevalent in the Qin dynasty (221–206 bce). Second, I have incorporated the recent archaeological discovery of Laozi-related documents, disentombed in 1993 in Jishan District’s tomb complex in the village of Guodian, near the city of Jingmen, Hubei Province of China. These documents include three bundles of bamboo slips written in the Chu script and contain passages related to the extant Laozi.3 Third, I have made extensive use of old commentaries on Laozi to provide the most comprehensive interpretations possible of each passage. Finally, I have examined myriad Chinese classic texts that are closely associated with the formation of Laozi, such as Zhuangzi, Lüshi Chunqiu (Spring and Autumn Annals of Mr. Lü), Han Feizi, and Huainanzi, to understand the intellectual and historical context of Laozi’s ideas. In addition to these characteristics, this book introduces several new interpretations of Laozi.

Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.

  • The History of the Former Han Dynasty: a Critical Translation with Annotations Translated by Homer Hasenpflug Dubs
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, July 2018, Vol. 8, No. 7, 1051-1057 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2018.07.009 D DAVID PUBLISHING The History of the Former Han Dynasty: A Critical Translation with Annotations Translated by Homer Hasenpflug Dubs JIANG Yuan-yuan Jiangsu University, Jiangsu, China Translation is an important medium of cultural communication. It is not a mere transfer of two languages, but the interaction of two cultures. Cultural misreading, which results from cultural discrepancy and translator’s subjectivity, truly reflects where the blockade and conflict in the cultural communication is. Cultural misreading is an objective phenomenon that exists in the entire process of translation. This paper intends to make a comprehensive analysis and discussion on The History of the Former Han Dynasty: a Critical Translation with Annotations translated by Homer Hasenpflug Dubs. As for the reasons of cultural misreading, this paper divides them into three types—language, thinking habit, traditional culture. It is to be hoped that this paper will draw more attention from the translation circle to the phenomena, and make contribution to the development of literary translation. Keywords: The History of the Former Han Dynasty, a critical translation with annotations, translation; cultural misreading 1. Introduction The History of the Former Han Dynasty is, as its own “Introductory Memoir” says, an “encyclopaedia of scholarship” dealing with the Chinese world of the first two centuries B.C (Shryock, 1938, p. 485). It has a broad reflection of the Western Han Dynasty’s political, economical system, cultural, academic thought, national policy and external relations, social life and customs, geography and Changes (Bodde, 1939, p.

  • Treatment of the Uyghur Ethnic Group in the People's Republic of China
    Report for U.S. Department of Justice LL File No. 2015-011997 Treatment of the Uyghur Ethnic Group in the People’s Republic of China March 2015 The Law Library of Congress, Global Legal Research Center (202) 707-6462 (phone) • (866) 550-0442 (fax) • [email protected] • http://www.law.gov Treatment of the Uyghur Ethnic Group in the People’s Republic of China Staff of the Global Legal Research Center SUMMARY Members of the Uyghur ethnic group in China are identifiable by their Islamic religion, cultural heritage, traditional clothing, diet, language, and appearance. Uyghurs primarily reside in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of northwestern China. However, a 2010 population census found a total of 68,000 Uyghurs living in other areas of China as well. Despite legal protections for freedom of religion, speech, publication, assembly, association, procession, and demonstration, central and regional authorities are reportedly combating “religious extremism” in the XUAR as a means of maintaining stability, leading to concerns that the exercise of lawful rights is being restricted. Similarly, protections for ethnic minority languages and cultural identities are provided by the Constitution and a series of laws and regulations, and government authorities have been promoting “bilingual education” in the XUAR. However, some Uyghurs fear that the policy aims at assimilating young Uyghurs into Han Chinese society at the expense of their Uyghur identity. Violent clashes involving political or ethnic tensions in the XUAR or involving Uyghurs outside of the XUAR reportedly included attacks committed by Uyghurs, with attackers convicted in court of terror-related crimes. Rights advocates and analysts located outside of China, however, have raised concerns that authorities are using excessive force against Uyghur protesters and that officials fail to distinguish between violence and terrorism versus peaceful dissent.

  • Poverty and Social Dimensions Analysis, and Summary Resettlement Action Plan
    38 Appendix 2, page 1 POVERTY AND SOCIAL DIMENSIONS ANALYSIS, AND SUMMARY RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN A. Introduction 1. The Project specifically targets poverty intervention by addressing critical agricultural and water supply constraints in a poor inland province. Because the water supply and irrigation component necessitates some resettlement from the pump site and regulating reservoir, a resettlement action plan was prepared. B. Socioeconomic Profile of Potential Beneficiaries 2. Demographic features. Agricultural communities in West Henan constitute about 83 percent of the total population, rising to 95 percent in Yichuan and Songxian. Twelve of the 32 counties in the project area are nationally designated poverty counties.1 While 98.4 percent of the population is ethnically Han, there are 18 different ethnic minority groups in the project area. Most counties have one or more ethnic minorities, on average 12 minority groups each. Almost 80 percent of the total minority population is accounted for by the three largest minorities: Muslim Hui, 61 percent of all minorities and 1 percent of total population, are concentrated in Zhengping, Dengfeng, Yuzhou, and Xinmi counties; Manchus, 11 percent of minorities, are concentrated in Nanzhao County; and Mongols, 7 percent of minorities, are concentrated in Neixiang County. The average household size is 4.20, slightly smaller than the province average of 4.59. Average household sizes in counties range from 3.3 in Luoyang to 5.0 in Yichuan. The average family size in Henan Province is 3.86, suggesting that, on average, most families have one additional household occupant (often a grandparent). 3. Settlement pattern and production systems.

  • Spring and Autumn China (771-453)
    Indiana University, History G380 – class text readings – Spring 2010 – R. Eno 1.7 SPRING AND AUTUMN CHINA (771-453) The history of the Spring and Autumn period was traditionally pictured as a narrative in which the major actors were states, their rulers, and certain high ministers and colorful figures. The narrative generally was shaped by writers to convey ethical points. It was, on the largest scale, a “true” story, but its drama was guided by a moral rationale. In these pages, we will survey the events of this long period. Our narrative will combine a selective recounting of major events with an attempt to illustrate the political variety that developed among the patrician states of the time. It embeds also certain stories from traditional sources, which are intended to help you picture more vividly and so recall more easily major turning points. These tales (which appear in italics) are retold here in a way that eliminates the profusion of personal and place names that characterize the original accounts. There are four such stories and each focuses on a single individual (although the last and longest has a larger cast of characters). The first two stories, those of Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin, highlight certain central features of Spring and Autumn political structures. The third tale, concerning King Ling of Chu, illustrates the nature of many early historical accounts as cautionary tales. The last, the story of Wu Zixu, is one of the great “historical romances” of the traditional annals. It is important to bear in mind that the tales recounted here are parts of a “master narrative” of early China, crafted by literary historians.

  • Analysis of Guanzhong Traditional Residence Spatial Form and Surroundings Jing
    International Forum on Energy, Environment Science and Materials (IFEESM 2015) Analysis of Guanzhong Traditional Residence Spatial Form and Surroundings Jing. Liu* 15234009646 [email protected]* No. 5 of FuDong Street of Xinghualing District, Taiyuan city , Shanxi province ,China Keywords: Guanzhong Traditional Residence; Grand House; Narrow Courtyard; Sealing; Spatial Form Abstract. Guanzhong traditional residence is involved in the traditional residence of North China, whose space layout is still traditional courtyard layout of China. Due to the impact of geographic position, culture, religion, life style and customs, traditional residence in Guanzhong is equipped with the space status of “grand house, narrow courtyard and sealing”. Meanwhile, in order to adapt to the climate that it is sultry in summer and to the dust invasion, the mansions of both sides rise highly towards the single slope inside, and the courtyard becomes a fine shadow region in summer. It can not only meet the requirement in residents’ daily life but also can help to prevent from the invasion of wind sand, and finally the value characteristics of old town are generalized and summarized. OVERVIEW ON THE NATURAL CONDITION AND HISTORICAL CULTURE IN GUANZHONG Guanzhong is what Shaanxi natives called Weihe Plain, located in the middle zone of Shaanxi, North-east China. It stretches from “Hangu Pass” of Ling-bao in the east to “San-kuan Pass” in the west, in-cluding Xi’an, Baoji, Xianyang and other large and medium-sized cities. Qian Mountain is in its north, vast plain in the middle, and the terrain tilts from northwest to southeast. Mountains, rivers, tableland are all involved in the region, and Weihe River and Weishui River pass through this area, which forms the geomorphic characteristics that “one river be-tween two mountains, two rivers separates three tab-leland”.

  • The Qin Revolution
    Indiana University, History G380 – class text readings – Spring 2010 – R. Eno 4.1 THE QIN DYNASTY Background The state of Qin was the westernmost of the patrician states of China, and had originally been viewed as a non-Chinese tribe. Its ruler was granted an official Zhou title in the eighth century B.C. in consequence of political loyalty and military service provided to the young Zhou king in Luoyang, the new eastern capital, at a time when the legitimate title to the Zhou throne was in dispute after the fall of the Western Zhou. The sustained reign of Duke Mu during the seventh century did much to elevate the status of Qin among the community of patrician states, but the basic prejudice against Qin as semi-“barbarian” persisted. Never during the Classical period did Qin come to be viewed as fully Chinese in a cultural sense. Qin produced great warriors, but no great leaders after Duke Mu, no notable thinkers or literary figures. Its governmental policies were the most progressive in China, but these were all conceived and implemented by men from the east who served as “Alien Ministers” at the highest ranks of the Qin court, rather than by natives of Qin. Yet Qin aspired to full membership in the Chinese cultural sphere. Li Si, the Prime Minister who shepherded Qin’s conquest of the other states, captured what must have been a widely held view of Qin in a memorial he sent to the king before his elevation to highest power. “To please the ear by thumping a water jug, banging a pot, twanging a zither, slapping a thigh and singing woo-woo! – that is the native music of Qin.
