  • China During the Tang-Song Interregnum, 878–978
    China during the Tang-Song Interregnum, 878–978 This book challenges the long-established structure of Chinese history around dynasties, adopting a more “organic” approach which emphasises cultural and economic trends that transcend arbitrary dynastic boundaries. It argues that with the collapse of the Tang court and northern control over the holistic empire in the last decades of the ninth century, the now-autonomous kingdoms that filled the political vacuum in the south responded with a burst of innovative energy that helped set the stage for the economic and cultural transformations of the following Song dynasty. Moreover, it argues that these transformations and this economic and cultural innovation deeply affected the subsequent model of holistic empire which continues right up to the present and that therefore the interregnum century of division left a critically important legacy. Hugh R. Clark is Professor Emeritus of History and East Asian Studies at Ursinus College, Pennsylvania Asian States and Empires Edited by Peter Lorge, Vanderbilt University For a full list of available titles please visit: https://www.routledge.com/Asian- States-and-Empires/book-series/SE900. The importance of Asia will continue to grow in the twenty-first century, but remarkably little is available in English on the history of the polities that constitute this critical area. Most current work on Asia is hindered by the extremely limited state of knowledge of the Asian past in general, and the history of Asian states and empires in particular. Asian States and Empires is a book series that will provide detailed accounts of the history of states and empires across Asia from earliest times until the present.

  • China, Guiyang No. 4 Experimental Elementary School
    UM PARTNERSHIP – CHINA, GUIYANG NO. 4 EXPERIMENTAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL The School Guiyang No. 4 Experimental Elementary school is located in Yunyan District, Guiyang. The school is attached to the Education Bureau of Yunyan District, and is a public elementary school. Founded in September 1995, it is a developing experimental school with 6 grades, 24 classes, 1,136 students and a faculty of 65. The school covers an area of 9,000 square meters. In addition to 24 ordinary classrooms, there is a computer room, library, music classroom, natural laboratories, multimedia classroom, and 300 square meter student rehearsal and performance hall. The school also has a physical education building, the first floor of which is a standard constant temperature swimming pool for training, the second floor is a professional table tennis training center, and the third floor is a professional dancing training hall. The City Guiyang is the capital of Guizhou province of Southwest China. The city was first constructed as early as 1283 AD during the Yuan Dynasty. Until the Sino-Japanese War (1937–45), Guiyang was no more than the capital of one of China's least-developed provinces. As elsewhere in the southwest, considerable economic progress was made under the special circumstances of wartime. Guiyang has subsequently become a major provincial city and industrial base. In 1959 the rail network in Guangxi was completed, affording connection from Guizhou to Chongqing to the north, to Kunming to the west, and Changsha to the east. Geography Guiyang is located in the center of Guizhou province, situated on the east of the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau, and on the north bank of the Nanming River, a branch of the Wu River (which eventually joins the Yangtze River).
