  • Mongolian Interest in Architecture and Construction in China (7Th C
    REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL GEOGRAPHICAL EDUCATION ISSN: 2146-0353 ● © RIGEO ● 11(4), WINTER, 2021 www.rigeo.org Research Article Mongolian Interest in Architecture and Construction in China (7th C. AH/ 13th C. AD) Prof. Dr. Suaad Hadi Hassan Al-Taai Department of History, College of Education ibn Rushd for Humanities, University of Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq [email protected] Abstract The Mongols were interested in architecture and construction, whether in Mongolia or China, especially after they mixed with civilized peoples. They merged with them and were affected by their civilization and their arts, and they borrowed a lot from them, especially in the field of construction and architecture. After establishing his rule in China, Kublai (658-693 A.H., 1260-1294 A.D.) was keen on building a new capital for him, which he called Dadu, to replace his previous capital, Khanbaliq. After consulting with the wise men of his palace and astrologers, Kublai was interested in building luxurious palaces for himself and his family, and he used a large number of engineers and craftsmen to build them to be a model for contemporary cities and compete with them in architecture and luxury. Kublai gave several priorities to build his capital by providing it with large funds to provide all service institutions its residents need. He split rivers, built canals, reclaimed and cultivated lands, built roads, Keywords Kublai, Engineers, Walls, Rivers, The Capital, Princesses.

One key concept is that of “meritocracy”, forged by American professor working in Tsinghua University Daniel A. Bell, to describe the ideas and the reality of how the Chinese political system has evolved over the past three decades. In his opinion, political meritocracy is referred to the idea that “political power should be distributed in accordance with ability and virtue.” This model differs from those election models on the basis of “one person, one vote,” used in the West. Different from the political perspective, I would like to talk about“China Model” from the comparative cultural studies today. The China Model from the perspective of Cross- Cultural Studies According to the Canadian cultural economists Harry Hillman Chartrand and Claire McCaughey, there are four models of cultural policy operative in the West after World War II. They are: ▲ the Facilitator Model ▲ the

  • Now You May Take My Word for It That Many Roads
    Now you may take my word for it that many roads lead from this city of Khanbaliq through many provinces; or, rather, one road leads to one province while another leads to another. … The fact is that between one post and the next, at intervals of three miles, there are villages consisting of as many as forty houses occupied by unmounted couriers who also play a part in the emperor’s [Kublai Khan] postal service. I will tell you how. They wear large belts covered all round with bells, so that when they are on the move they can be heard a long way off. They always run at full tilt, and never for more than three miles. And the other couriers who are waiting three miles down the road clearly hear them while they are still some way off and stand at the ready. As soon as the first courier arrives, the second takes what he is carrying, along with a little ticket given to him by the clerk, and sets off to run the second leg of three miles, at the end of which the handover is repeated. And you can take my word for it that by means of these couriers the emperor gets news from places ten days’ journey away in a day and a night. For you should know that these runners cover the distance of a ten-day journey in a day and a night, and in two days and nights they bring news from places twenty days’ journey away; and so in ten days and nights the emperor would have news from places a hundred days’ journey away.
