Biography of a Buddhist Layman
— 32 — Biography of a Buddhist Layman Alan J. Berkowitz In traditional “Confucian” China, while the customary path to achievement was through service to the state, from the earliest times certain individuals have been acclaimed for doing just the opposite, for repudiating an official career in state governance. These men fit a dictum of the Classic of Changes (Yijing); “He does not serve a king or lord; he loftily esteems his own affairs.” Through time, this characterization came to serve as the byword of voluntary withdrawal, the image of the man whose lofty resolve could not be humbled for service to a temporal I mler. ; Throughout the history of traditional China, men who eschewed official ap- ; pointments in favor of the pursuit of their personal, lofty ideals were known as ; “men in reclusion” (yinshi), “high-minded men” (gaoshi), “disengaged persons” (yimin), “scholars-at-home” (chushi), or the like. Regardless of the attractions or dangers of service, and regardless of the motivations for avoiding it, they strove to maintain their autonomy and self-reliance. The distinction of these men was a i particular strength of character that underlay their conduct; they maintained their i resolve, their mettle, their integrity—their moral and/or religious values—in the , face of adversity, threat, or temptation, and for this they received approbation. For most civilizations, reclusion usually has indicated withdrawal from the ; world into a life of seclusion, most often within a religious context. In China this was not always the case; reclusion was typically secular and usually meant with drawal from active participation in an official career in state governance. -
Establishment and Practice of Spatial Planning Method of New Cities Ecological Security Pattern — Take Longtan New City of Nanjing for Example
International Journal of Environmental Science and Development, Vol. 10, No. 1, January 2019 Establishment and Practice of Spatial Planning Method of New Cities Ecological Security Pattern — Take Longtan New City of Nanjing for Example Caixia Kang, Qing Lu, Qian Zhao, Zhiheng Zhang, and Huihui Nan issues [1]. Abstract—With the rapid expansion of urbanization, urban Since the reform and opening up, China's cities and towns construction has produced a series of significant impacts on the have been expanding rapidly. According to the national original ecological and natural environment, including water bureau of statistics, from 1978 to 2015, China's urbanization environment pollution, biological habitat loss and atmospheric rate increased from 18 percent to about 57 percent. It is environment pollution, thus causing urban problems like rain, flood and haze events. As an important growth pole in expected to reach 60 percent in 2020 and 70 percent in 2030 urbanization, new cities is often at the edge of city and the area [2]. The rapid increase of new urban areas in China reflects where urban and rural areas meet. It is the most ecological the acceleration of China's urbanization process on the one sensitive area in construction and the weakest in planning and hand, and also exposes the phenomenon of blind expansion management, which is of great significance for the sustainable and unreasonable development in urban construction on the development of ecological environment. At present, the other hand. How to reasonably guide the development of new ecological planning mainly focuses on large river basins and lacks research and practice based on the premise of new city urban areas and avoid the excessive destruction of ecological development. -
Detection of Urban Hidden Faults Using Group-Velocity Ambient Noise
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Detection of urban hidden faults using group‑velocity ambient noise tomography beneath Zhenjiang area, China Leiming Zheng, Xiaoping Fan*, Peng Zhang, Jingrun Hao, Hao Qian & Tuo Zheng The Mufushan‑Jiaoshan fault (MJF) is a hidden active fault located on the north side of the Ningzhen Mountain Range and developed along the Yangtze River in Zhenjiang area, China. In this paper, the structure of MJF is detected and studied using group‑velocity ambient noise tomography. In the study area (18 km × 25 km), 47 short‑period seismic stations were deployed with the average station spacing of about 3 km and 24 days (from 27 February to 22 March 2019) of continuous ambient‑noise recordings were collected. And 510 group velocity dispersion curves in the period band 0.5–5 s were extracted using the vertical component data. And then the three‑dimensional shear‑wave velocity structure was inverted using group dispersion data by the direct surface‑wave tomographic method. Our results are consistent with the geological background of the study area, showing that in the depth range of 0.6–1.5 km, the north side of MJF presents a relatively high velocity, and the south side presents a distribution pattern of high and low velocity. While in the depth range of 1.5–2.0 km, the shear‑wave velocity (Vs) model is relatively simple with relatively low velocity on the north side and relatively high velocity on the south side. And the gradient zone of Vs may be the location of the main fracture surface of MJF. -

International Journal of Environmental & Agriculture Research (IJOEAR) ISSN:[2454-1850] [Vol-3, Issue-12, December- 2017] A Preliminary Investigation of Bird Diversity in Nanjing Jie Wang1, QuanmengXia2, Chenling Zhang3*, Jian Wang4 1,4Jiangsu Agri-animal Husbandry Vocational College, China 2,3Jiangsu Second Normal University, China Abstract— To find out the classification information and distribution information of common birds in Nanjing, China, and provide reference for the government to formulate the protection policy of bird, this paper analyzes the bird observation data from 2007 to 2016 in the Bird Observation Center (Nanjing area), and analyzes the ecological changes of the observation points in combination with the Nanjing land using situation. the results show that Nanjing is an important bird habitat, with many species and national protected species, but in recent years, the acceleration of urbanization and human activities have seriously affected these originally good bird distribution areas, government departments should strengthen the response and management. Keywords— Nanjing, Bird diversity, Protected species. I. INTRODUCTION From May 2012 to April 2013, Peng lifeng selected four habitats in Suzhou industrial park, set up 17 sample lines and 24 sample points, and studied the bird community monthly. A total of 130 species of birds were recorded, belonging to 41 families of 12 orders. Among them, the resident birds, summer birds, winter birds and passing migrant birds accounted for 26.15 %, 25.38 %, 27.69 % and 20.77 % of the total species, respectively. The cosmopolitan species and palaearctic realm species accounted main part of them, and has both oriental species and obvious characteristics of north-south transition. -
Adaptation of Resettled Rural Population Towards Urban Life In
Adaptation of Resettled Rural Population towards Urban Life in Nanjing, China: from the Perspective of Resettled Residents by Pan Liu A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Masters of Arts in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada,2018 © Pan Liu 2018 Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract The large-scale and continuing land acquisition in China is playing a positive role in regards to the national economic development while resulting in a number of issues among resettled rural residents. For the resettled residents who are forced to move into the city, it contains not only geographical transformation, but also a profound process of adaptation towards the economic, physical and social environment. Therefore, it is essential for the government to act on the issue to maintain social justice, stability as well as sustainability. The goal of this research is to study the adaptation conditions for resettled farmers, issues faced, and possible solutions. A model derived from Du and Pan (2014)’s study, along with other literature was developed to collect data from two selected communities in Nanjing, China. Data from three perspectives, economic adaptation, environmental adaptation, and social adaptation were gathered with a structured survey, and researching findings were derived from principal component analysis and descriptive analysis. Recommendations towards the planning process on resettlement were also proposed, such as encouraging public participation and taking farmers’ opinions into considerations. -

Academic Editors: Suzana Dragicevic and Wolfgang Kainz Received: 19 July 2015 / Accepted: 7 October 2015 / Published: 13 October 2015 Abstract: With economic growth and the improvement of the urbanization level, human activities have constantly interfered with landscape patterns, resulting in serious threats to regional ecological security. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the evolution and optimization of the landscape patterns. Based on three TM images from 1990, 2000, and 2010, and selected landscape pattern indexes, the changes in the landscape pattern of Nanjing in the past twenty years were studied based on landscape ecology theory using Remote Sensing (RS) and a Geographical Information System (GIS). The ecological network was built on the basis of extracted ecological nodes and the minimum cumulative resistance. The results show that changes in the landscape pattern of the city of Nanjing were notable. Class-level indexes indicate that the farmland landscape area decreased and the degree of patch fragmentation increased. -
