  • Research Survey and Research on the Traditional Historical
    6th International Conference on Management, Education, Information and Control (MEICI 2016) Research Survey and Research on the Traditional Historical Architecture in Dongcheng District of Beijing Menglin Xu Nanyang Institute of Technology, Nanyang, China jiumengni @163.com Keywords: Traditional historic buildings; Current situation; Countermeasure and suggestion Abstract. Dongcheng District keeps the largest number of historic buildings, the most widely distributed and best-preserved, most feature-rich region buildings in Beijing. The existing historic buildings in Dongcheng District are an important carrier of historical and cultural in the capital, which is also the top priority of the historical and cultural protection in Beijing today. Among these existing historic buildings, there are a large number of them haven’t been included in the current system, which still have high preservation value. The department did a thoroughly research about the three cultural relics protection units and research projects census, but didn’t do a survey to the historic buildings that except the project, even didn’t think about that. Based on information collected in the first historic building survey of Dongcheng District, Beijing. Combining the analysis of historical documents in Dongcheng District, the historic district and traditional historic buildings since the Yuan, Ming, the purpose of this paper is to do an analysis and explore the traditional historic buildings conservation value and protection methods, which also provides a lot of basic information for subsequent protection research. Introduction As the world's greatest capitals, Beijing has a strict urban planning at the beginning of Yuan Dynasty. Under the design and construction of Bingzhong Liu and the others, regular chessboard layout of streets, accurate functional partition and intricate but effective water supply systems, have been the indispensable characteristics of Beijing, which also made it famous around the world and be a paragon for capital planning.

  • Ewa Pobłocka JAPANESE DIARIES (3) CHINA, 25-29 NOVEMBER
    Ewa Pobłocka JAPANESE DIARIES (3) CHINA, 25-29 NOVEMBER When I visited China for the first time, this past May, it took me less than twenty minutes to decide - never again! Despite the fact that exotic China had always been my dream destination. Yet, once more I have confirmed my conviction that one’s impressions from a given place depend on the people one meets there. So I am not going to say a word about my unfriendly interpreter from the previous visit – I prefer to recall the recent visit, which was truly enjoyable! However, before I could set my foot on the Chinese soil again, I had to pass a test in self-sufficiency in Tokyo. I decided to go to the airport with my entire luggage completely unaided, on my own. To leave my Tokyo flat in good order I had to switch off the heating system, empty the rubbish bin, close windows… so I left later than planned. To make matters worse, no taxi in sight – and when I finally got one, it took the driver twice as much time as usual to deliver me to the station. I rushed to catch the Keisei line train to the airport. The service on that line was fantastic, as usual. The ticket collector was bowing to every passenger who was getting on or off the train… I kept checking my airline e- ticket in order to get my flight time and terminal number right. So I got off the train, full of self-confidence, and headed towards the Departures, passing several security points.

  • The Need for Integrated Management for the Endangered Miyun Resevoir
    Quenching Beijing’s Thirst: The Need for Integrated Management for the Endangered Miyun Resevoir By Christoph Peisert and Eva Sternfeld Miyun reservoir, a large reservoir northeast of Beijing municipality, is the Chinese capital’s most important source of drinking water. For many years the Beijing municipal government has made great efforts to protect the reservoir and its catchment area. However, successful implementation has been hampered by numerous user conflicts. This paper investigates the origin and various types of conflicts, which include inter-provincial, city-county disputes, as well as conflicts between county government and local residents living in the water protection zone. The magnitude of these conflicts and continued deteriorating quality of the reservoir underline the need for integrated watershed management approaches as stipulated in the 2002 revised Water Law, and the adoption of a water economy that includes the costs for water protection and compensation for those required to carry out watershed protection activities. he large Miyun reservoir, built during the Great Natural Determinants of the Beijing Water Crisis Leap Forward period (1958-1960) in the Beijing municipality is located in the dry northeast Tnortheast of Beijing municipality, is a critical edge of the North China Plain bordering the Mongolian source of drinking water for the 14 million people living Plateau in central Hebei province.

  • Art and Visual Culture in Contemporary Beijing (1978-2012)
    Infrastructures of Critique: Art and Visual Culture in Contemporary Beijing (1978-2012) by Elizabeth Chamberlin Parke A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Elizabeth Chamberlin Parke 2016 Infrastructures of Critique: Art and Visual Culture in Contemporary Beijing (1978-2012) Elizabeth Chamberlin Parke Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This dissertation is a story about relationships between artists, their work, and the physical infrastructure of Beijing. I argue that infrastructure’s utilitarianism has relegated it to a category of nothing to see, and that this tautology effectively shrouds other possible interpretations. My findings establish counter-narratives and critiques of Beijing, a city at once an immerging global capital city, and an urban space fraught with competing ways of seeing, those crafted by the state and those of artists. Statecraft in this dissertation is conceptualized as both the art of managing building projects that function to control Beijing’s public spaces, harnessing the thing-power of infrastructure, and the enforcement of everyday rituals that surround Beijinger’s interactions with the city’s infrastructure. From the spectacular architecture built to signify China’s neoliberal approaches to globalized urban spaces, to micro-modifications in how citizens sort their recycling depicted on neighborhood bulletin boards, the visuals of Chinese statecraft saturate the urban landscape of Beijing. I advocate for heterogeneous ways of seeing of infrastructure that releases its from being solely a function of statecraft, to a constitutive part of the artistic practices of: Song Dong (宋冬 b.

While tour companies in Beijing are making efforts to market vernacular culture in the modernized ancient city, the study subject rickshaw driver Zhang constructs his own knowledge structure of vernacular culture in the daily practice of urban tourism. Zhang also constructs his own sense of locality and identity in the process of performing personally constructed vernacular culture and national past connecting to the tangible landscape and “scenic spots” in Beijing.

  • Residential Care for Elderly People in Beijing, China
    RESIDENTIAL CARE FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE IN BEIJING, CHINA: A Study of the Relationship between Health and Place by YANG CHENG A thesis submitted to the Department of Geography in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‘s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada April 2010 Copyright © Yang Cheng, 2010 Abstract This thesis is a study of the residential care for elderly people in Beijing, China. First, a set of statistical indicators are developed for mapping the spatial distribution of the elderly population and residential care facilities (RCFs). Secondly, in-depth, semi- structured interviews are used to understand the socio-cultural meanings of access, the decision making process in relocation, the well-being of elderly residents, as well as the challenges of residential care and social welfare reform. In total, 27 elderly residents, 16 family members, and five RCF managers were interviewed in six RCFs in Beijing. The constant comparative method is used to analyze all the transcribed interview materials. There are several major findings resulting from the research: the distribution of the elderly population and residential care resources is geographically uneven across the districts of Beijing and the supply of resources does not match the potential need. Elderly people and their family members choose residential care because of the shortage of community and home care resources and/or the advantages of residential care. The decision making process is a process of balancing geographical factors, quality of services, and financial affordability. Access to residential care is an interactive process influenced by geographical, economic, and social-cultural factors. The physical and socio-cultural environments of RCFs and individual‘s sense of place play important roles in their adaptation and well-being after the relocation from the home to a RCF.

  • The Role of Astronomy and Feng Shui in the Planning of Ming Beijing
    Nexus Network Journal https://doi.org/10.1007/s00004-021-00555-y RESEARCH The Role of Astronomy and Feng Shui in the Planning of Ming Beijing Norma Camilla Baratta1 · Giulio Magli2 Accepted: 19 April 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract Present day Beijing developed on the urban layout of the Ming capital, founded in 1420 over the former city of Dadu, the Yuan dynasty capital. The planning of Ming Beijing aimed at conveying a key political message, namely that the ruling dynasty was in charge of the Mandate of Heaven, so that Beijing was the true cosmic centre of the world. We explore here, using satellite imagery and palaeomagnetic data analysys, symbolic aspects of the planning of the city related to astronomical alignments and to the feng shui doctrine, both in its “form” and “compass” schools. In particular, we show that orientations of the axes of the “cosmic” temples and of the Forbidden City were most likely magnetic, while astronomy was used in topographical connections between the temples and in the plan of the Forbidden City in itself. Keywords Archaeoastronomy of Ming Beijing · Forbidden City · Form feng shui · Compass feng shui · Ancient Chinese urban planning · Temple design Introduction In the second half of the fourteenth century, China sat in rebellion against the foreign rule of the Mongols, the Yuan dynasty. Among the rebels, an outstanding personage emerged: Zhu Yuanzhang, who succeeded in expelling the foreigners, proclaiming in 1368 the beginning of a new era: the Ming dynasty (Paludan 1998). Zhu took the reign title of Hongwu and made his capital Nanjing.
