General information The 2014 Field Workshop of IGCP 591, to be held jointly with ISSS, ISOS and ISCS, will be hosted by the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Yunnan Key Laboratory of Palaeontology, Yunnan University. Its formal theme will be ‘Global Events and their relationships in the Early to Middle Paleozoic’. The meeting is scheduled tentatively for August 12-22, 2014. The scientific sessions in Kunming will be followed by a field excursion in northeastern Yunnan (western South China paleoplate) and western Yunnan (Indochina and Sibumasu paleoplates). The meeting in Kunming will include two days of indoor scientific sessions for delegates to present their most recent research, and a day trip to the world-renowned Chengjiang Biota site, about 60 km east of Kunming. Yunnan is well known for its “four seasons of spring weather” and spectacularly beautiful natural scenery, including several national and international geoparks. The meeting venue will be Yunnan University, which is one of the top rank universities in China and located in the centre of Kunming city proper beside the Cuihu Lake. During the post-conference field excursion, we will visit several Ordovician, Silurian and Devonian sections. Most of the stratigraphic successions are continuous, containing rich and diverse fossils. During a single week, delegates will have the opportunity to investigate the Lower Paleozoic sections and faunas of three different paleoplates (South China, Indochina, and Sibumasu), and to enjoy some stunningly beautiful scenery spots, such as the Cangshan International Geopark, Erhai Lake (one of the largest plateau lakes in China), as well as modern vocanic craters and hot springs in Tengchong.

  • Chapter 5 Sinicization and Indigenization: the Emergence of the Yunnanese
    Between Winds and Clouds Bin Yang Chapter 5 Sinicization and Indigenization: The Emergence of the Yunnanese Introduction As the state began sending soldiers and their families, predominantly Han Chinese, to Yunnan, 1 the Ming military presence there became part of a project of colonization. Soldiers were joined by land-hungry farmers, exiled officials, and profit-driven merchants so that, by the end of the Ming period, the Han Chinese had become the largest ethnic population in Yunnan. Dramatically changing local demography, and consequently economic and cultural patterns, this massive and diverse influx laid the foundations for the social makeup of contemporary Yunnan. The interaction of the large numbers of Han immigrants with the indigenous peoples created a 2 new hybrid society, some members of which began to identify themselves as Yunnanese (yunnanren) for the first time. Previously, there had been no such concept of unity, since the indigenous peoples differentiated themselves by ethnicity or clan and tribal affiliations. This chapter will explore the process that led to this new identity and its reciprocal impact on the concept of Chineseness. Using primary sources, I will first introduce the indigenous peoples and their social customs 3 during the Yuan and early Ming period before the massive influx of Chinese immigrants. Second, I will review the migration waves during the Ming Dynasty and examine interactions between Han Chinese and the indigenous population. The giant and far-reaching impact of Han migrations on local society, or the process of sinicization, that has drawn a lot of scholarly attention, will be further examined here; the influence of the indigenous culture on Chinese migrants—a process that has won little attention—will also be scrutinized.

  • Studies on the Relationships of the Curie Surface with Heat Flow And
    Wen et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2019) 71:85 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623-019-1063-1 FULL PAPER Open Access Studies on the relationships of the Curie surface with heat fow and crustal structures in Yunnan Province, China, and its adjacent areas Limin Wen, Guofa Kang, Chunhua Bai and Guoming Gao* Abstract A Curie surface indicates the distribution of the thermal felds underground, providing a clear marker for the thermo- dynamic efect in the crust and mantle. In this paper, based on a geomagnetic feld model (NGDC-720) and aeromag- netic data, we use power spectrum analysis of magnetic anomalies to estimate the Curie surface in Yunnan Province, China, and its adjacent areas. By combining the distribution of the Curie surface with regional heat fow, the geo- thermal gradient, crustal wave velocity ratio anomalies, high-conductivity layer anomalies, and the Moho surface, we reveal the connection between the undulation of the magnetic basement and the crustal structures. The results indi- cate that the uplift and depression of the Curie surface in the research area are distinct. The Curie surface is approxi- mately inversely correlated to the surface heat fow. The Lijiang-Jianchuan-Baoshan-Tengchong and Jianchuan- Chux- iong- Kunming-Yuxi zones are two Curie surface uplift zones, and their crust-mantle heat fows are relatively high. The Curie surface uplift zone along the Lijiang-Xiaojinhe fault and Red River fault is consistent with the heading direction of the fault zone and is partially in agreement with the eastward mass fow of the Tibetan Plateau. The Curie surface uplift zone is consistent with the high wave velocity ratio and high-conductivity layer anomaly region of the crust.

  • Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China
    Country Report for the Preparation of the First Report on the State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China June 2003 Beijing CONTENTS Executive Summary Biological diversity is the basis for the existence and development of human society and has aroused the increasing great attention of international society. In June 1992, more than 150 countries including China had jointly signed the "Pact of Biological Diversity". Domestic animal genetic resources are an important component of biological diversity, precious resources formed through long-term evolution, and also the closest and most direct part of relation with human beings. Therefore, in order to realize a sustainable, stable and high-efficient animal production, it is of great significance to meet even higher demand for animal and poultry product varieties and quality by human society, strengthen conservation, and effective, rational and sustainable utilization of animal and poultry genetic resources. The "Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the "World Status of Animal Genetic Resource " compiled by the FAO. The Ministry of Agriculture" (MOA) has attached great importance to the compilation of the Report, organized nearly 20 experts from administrative, technical extension, research institutes and universities to participate in the compilation team. In 1999, the first meeting of the compilation staff members had been held in the National Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Service, discussed on the compilation outline and division of labor in the Report compilation, and smoothly fulfilled the tasks to each of the compilers.

  • Three-Dimensional Velocity Structure of Crust and Upper Mantle In
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 108, NO. B9, 2442, doi:10.1029/2002JB001973, 2003 Three-dimensional velocity structure of crust and upper mantle in southwestern China and its tectonic implications Chun-Yong Wang Institute of Geophysics, China Seismological Bureau, Beijing, China W. Winston Chan Multimax, Inc., Largo, Maryland, USA Walter D. Mooney U.S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California, USA Received 13 May 2002; revised 17 March 2003; accepted 29 April 2003; published 25 September 2003. [1] Using P and S arrival times from 4625 local and regional earthquakes recorded at 174 seismic stations and associated geophysical investigations, this paper presents a three- dimensional crustal and upper mantle velocity structure of southwestern China (21°– 34°N, 97°–105°E). Southwestern China lies in the transition zone between the uplifted Tibetan plateau to the west and the Yangtze continental platform to the east. In the upper crust a positive velocity anomaly exists in the Sichuan Basin, whereas a large-scale negative velocity anomaly exists in the western Sichuan Plateau, consistent with the upper crustal structure under the southern Tibetan plateau. The boundary between these two anomaly zones is the Longmen Shan Fault. The negative velocity anomalies at 50-km depth in the Tengchong volcanic area and the Panxi tectonic zone appear to be associated with temperature and composition variations in the upper mantle. The Red River Fault is the boundary between the positive and negative velocity anomalies at 50-km depth. The overall features of the crustal and the upper mantle structures in southwestern China are a low average velocity, large crustal thickness variations, the existence of a high- conductivity layer in the crust or/and upper mantle, and a high heat flow value.
