The observation is from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Atmo- spheric Environment Monitoring Network operated by the Institute of Atmo- spheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences[1]. The location of the three stations are shown in Figure 1, Baoding and Tangshan stations are located at the urban of Baoding and Tangshan Municipality, and Xianghe station is located at one county of Langfang Municipality. As described in the left figure of Fig.2 in the manuscript, the fouth do- main(D4) in the forecast system just covers Beijing Municipality, that Baoding, Tangshan and Langfang station, is either outside or nearby the domain bound- ary.

  • Dingzhou: the Story of an Unfortunate Tomb

    Dingzhou: the Story of an Unfortunate Tomb

    DINGZHOU: THE STORY OF AN UNFORTUNATE TOMB Paul van Els, Leiden University Abstract In 1973, Chinese archaeologists excavated a tomb of considerable dimensions near Dingzhou. This tomb, which dates to the Former Han dynasty, yielded a rich array of funerary furnishings, including jadeware, goldware, bronzeware, lacquerware and a large cache of inscribed bamboo strips, with significant potential for study. Sadly, though, the tomb and its contents were struck by several disastrous events (robbery, fire, earthquake). These disasters severely affected the quantity and quality of the find and may have tempered scholarly enthusiasm for Dingzhou, which remains little-known to date. This paper, the first English-language specialized study of the topic, provides an overall account of the Dingzhou discovery; it draws attention to fundamental issues regarding the tomb (e.g. its date) and the manuscripts (e.g. their transcription); and it explores the significance of the tomb and its contents, and their potential importance for the study of early imperial Chinese history, philosophy, literature and culture. Introductory Remarks In 1973, a team of Chinese archaeologists excavated a Former Han dynasty tomb near Dingzhou ᅮᎲ in Hebei Province ⊇࣫ⳕ.1 In eight months of excavation, from May to December, the team revealed a tomb of considerable dimensions and brought to light a rich array of funerary furnishings, including several manu- scripts, with significant potential for the study of early imperial Chinese history, philosophy, literature and culture. Sadly, the discovery did not achieve its full potential. In the three decades that have passed since, studies of the Dingzhou find have come to influence our understanding of a few philosophical texts (e.g.

    Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Air Quality Improvement–Hebei Policy Reforms Program (RRP PRC 49232) SECTOR ASSESSMENT: ENVIRONMENT (AIR POLLUTION) Sector Road Map A. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. Air pollution problems in the PRC. Decades of unsustainable economic growth in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have resulted in severe degradation of the air, water and soil quality throughout the country. In 2014, 74 of PRC’s prefecture-level and higher level cities recorded annual concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exceeding the national standard of 35 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) by 83%, with 7 of the 10 most polluted cities in the PRC located in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region.1 High levels of air pollution are among the first environmental problems that the PRC’s leadership has addressed with an unprecedented scale of reforms and actions which include the first “Action Plan of Pollution Prevention and Control” (hereinafter CAAP) outlining targets to be achieved in 2013–2015 in key regions, a new vision for the PRC’s urbanization which emphasizes improved ecological environment in cities, and a new environmental protection law unleashing long-needed reforms in the government performance assessment system. 2. Air quality and emissions in Hebei Province. Hebei province (Hebei) surrounds Beijing and Tianjin Municipalities, bordering Bohai bay to the east. Despite its advantageous geographical position, Hebei’s resources driven and heavy industry based economy has made the province lag behind other coastal provinces like Jiansgu and Zhejiang in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) and overall economic performance. In 2014, Hebei’s GDP totaled CNY2.94 trillion with a per capita GDP of CNY39,846.

This tradition was once suspended after the establishment of P.R.C., but it revived and thrived after the reform and opening-up. Temple festivals are a kind of renao (热闹, heat-noise) events in rural life, and the organizers of temple festivals pursue the effect of renao as much as possible. Renao is a popular life condition welcomed by people; meanwhile, it can be regarded as an important exterior indicator of the efficacy of deities. Hence holding temple festivals and make renao at them provides an opportunity not only for people to experience and enjoy renao, but to acknowledge, publicize, and even produce the efficacy of deities. These sacred and secular rewards can partly account for the enduring resilience and vitality of the local tradition of holding temple festivals.

    Commentaar van The Epoch Times op de Communistische Partij Deel 5 – De samenzwering van Jiang Zemin met de Chinese Communistische Partij om Falun Gong te vervolgen Waarom wordt Falun Gong, een vorm van Qigong die gebaseerd is op de principes van “Waarachtigheid, Mededogen en Verdraagzaamheid” en die wereldwijd beoefend wordt in meer dan zestig landen, alleen in China vervolgd en nergens anders ter wereld? Wat is de heimelijke verstandhouding tussen Jiang Zemin en de CCP in deze vervolging? Voorwoord Mevr. Zhang Fuzhen, leeftijd ongeveer 38 jaar, was een werknemer van het Xianhe park te Pingdu, in de provincie Shandong, China. Ze ging naar Beijing in november 2000 om er tegen de vervolging van Falun Gong in beroep te gaan en werd later door de autoriteiten ontvoerd. Volgens interne bronnen folterde en vernederde de politie Zhang Fuzhen, werden haar kleren uitgetrokken en werd haar hoofd volledig kaalgeschoren. Ze bonden haar vast aan een bed met haar vier ledematen uitgerekt en zij werd aldus gedwongen zichzelf op het bed te ontlasten. Later gaf de politie haar een injectie met een onbekende giftige substantie. Na de injectie had Zhang zoveel pijn dat zij bijna krankzinnig werd. Op het bed worstelde ze met enorme pijn tot zij overleed. Het hele proces werd gadegeslagen door de lokale functionarissen van het ‘6-10 Bureau’.

  • The Chinese State in Ming Society

    The Chinese State in Ming Society

    The Chinese State in Ming Society The Ming dynasty (1368–1644), a period of commercial expansion and cultural innovation, fashioned the relationship between the present-day state and society in China. In this unique collection of reworked and illustrated essays, one of the leading scholars of Chinese history re-examines this relationship and argues that, contrary to previous scholarship, which emphasized the heavy hand of the state, it was radical responses within society to changes in commercial relations and social networks that led to a stable but dynamic “constitution” during the Ming dynasty. This imaginative reconsideration of existing scholarship also includes two essays first published here and a substantial introduction, and will be fascinating reading for scholars and students interested in China’s development. Timothy Book is Principal of St. John’s College, University of British Colombia. Critical Asian Scholarship Edited by Mark Selden, Binghamton and Cornell Universities, USA The series is intended to showcase the most important individual contributions to scholarship in Asian Studies. Each of the volumes presents a leading Asian scholar addressing themes that are central to his or her most significant and lasting contribution to Asian studies.

    The Coordinative Development in the Capital Region of China?

    Zhai Baohui, Jia, Yuliang; Xu,Qingyun Coordinative development in the capital region China 40th ISoCaRP Congress 2004 A long Way to Go: the coordinative Development in the capital Region of China? Introduction From the analysis of ofgren (2000) we know that many efforts have been concentrated on large metropolitan regions in the Western sphere in a globalized world or giant cities of the developing world (Knox and Taylor, 1995; Sassen, 1991). The main focus has been on competitiveness, as responses to globalization, and urban governance, as a result of this pressure to become more competitive (Gwyndaf, 1999). The routine urban governance has been forced to change from day-to-day managerialism to entrepreneurialism and “boosterism” (Boyle and Hughes, 1994). Lever puts forward five questions to this concern. “Do cities compete? If so, for what do they compete? How do they compete? What are the consequences of competition? And, how do we measure and explain their competitive success?” (ofgren, 2000) To the first question, he identifies two opposing views. One is that cities indeed compete. They compete for mobile investment, population, public funds and large events as such sports and high level meetings. Cities are competing in the ability to create assets that make their local economy thrive. The other is that cities may try to develop favourable conditions for firms, but they are not as such involved in any competition with other cities. It is de facto capital that competes. It is the capital that needs corporate headquarters, financial institutions and markets as well as specialized services, and it is the capital invested in real estate, industrial undertakings, retailing and service.
