History and Sovereignty of the South China Sea

83K9.3202

The South China Sea dispute has always been the focus of international attention. British international law expert Anthony Carty collected historical archives from Britain, France and other countries to prove that China has historic rights in the South China Sea. Since the 1970s, disputes have arisen between six countries and seven parties over China's sovereignty over islands and reefs in the South China Sea and jurisdiction over some maritime areas. In recent years, major powers outside the region have used the South China Sea dispute as an excuse to intervene in South China Sea affairs in order to seek political, economic and strategic interests. Professor Anthony Carty clarified the issue of sovereignty over the South China Sea Islands by reviewing the files on the ownership of the South China Sea Islands by France, the United Kingdom and the United States since the end of the 19th century. The files show that the sovereignty of the South China Sea Islands belongs to China, and this fact is also recognized by Western countries, Vietnam and other parties involved in the dispute. This book is of great significance for our country to resolve disputes in the South China Sea, stabilize the situation in the South China Sea, and discuss the "Code of Conduct in the South China Sea."

Wen Junxuan

In the three million years of human evolution, whoever can master advanced technology first will gain a stage lead and even destroy other competitors. Therefore, writing a history of mankind from a geographical perspective is not only to review the evolutionary process of mankind, to show the many civilizations each with its own strengths, and to compare the success and failure of the East and the West, but also to find the rules hidden behind geography and time, as well as those key technological nodes, to help everyone re-understand themselves and see the direction of the future world. The map contains the past, present and future of mankind, and each story will be played out repeatedly in different forms. Only by understanding the map can we understand the turbulent history; only by understanding the geography clearly can we see the new direction of the world in the future. Open this book and you will see: How do humans break away from the category of animals and transform into the spirit of all things? Why did human civilization originate in the tropics and flourish in temperate zones? Why did the Nile hinder the spread of civilization from Egypt to the hinterland of Africa, but instead promoted the emergence of a new type of maritime civilization? What enables humans to break through blood ties, expand communities, and unite more people? This brings not only the unity of internal and external beliefs, but also a mature social operating mechanism. Why would other nations be torn apart by foreign invasions, while China could be reunited even if it was beaten and forced to move south? How did the Chinese people's "family-state" collectivism come into being? Why is this kind of top-down resource allocation not possible outside China? What kind of gods a god can become is not determined by himself. The ultimate value of the existence of gods is to serve the humans who designed them. Why did the scientific and industrial revolution appear in the West? What unique advantages does the East, represented by China, have in the information revolution that mankind is currently experiencing?

Bu Key

Since the mid-19th century, Sakhalin, which once belonged to China, has become Sakhalin in Tsarist Russia and a hard labor island where Russian prisoners were imprisoned; and to this day, it still has a special connection in the hearts of many Chinese people, with a lingering complexity and heaviness.

Shanxi Dragon Temple: the Structure and Changes of a Water Conservancy Community on the Loess Plateau

Zhou Ya

253K0

The Longci Spring area located in the Linfen Basin in southern Shanxi is a typical water-rich area on the Loess Plateau, which is generally short of water. Due to the special position of Longci Spring in people's production and life, it has become an important link connecting regional society, and then formed a relatively independent water conservancy community centered on water conservancy and flood disasters within a certain range. Based on a large number of field surveys, this book fully explores folk literature and adopts multidisciplinary research methods to examine the structure of Longci Water Conservancy Community from multiple perspectives such as environmental background, water conservancy development, water conservancy organization, water rights form, water conservancy system, water conservancy technology, water conservancy landscape, and regional interaction, and explores its changes and development over a long period of time on a millennium scale. The structural changes of Longci Water Conservancy Community have distinct time stages and regional specificities. Large-scale development of water conservancy began in the Tang Dynasty and was basically finalized in the Northern Song Dynasty. For the next 800 years, the overall structure of water conservancy communities remained unchanged until the exploration of the modernization process of water conservancy during the Republic of China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, water conservancy communities ushered in major structural changes. Every major change node is the result of the intervention of state power. Regional society is the subject of most historical time outside the node, and is the practitioner and adjuster of the national system. The specific elements of the structural change of Longci Water Conservancy Community are reflected in many aspects such as spring flow, irrigation area, water conservancy system, and the meaning of water. The principle of "integration of land, water, and money", the elitization of water conservancy management, and the relationship between upstream and downstream interests are the basic guarantees for the long-term stability of water conservancy communities. This book extends the study time limit of the social history of water conservancy to the collectivization period, and explores the gains and losses of national institutional arrangements during this period from the aspects of engineering construction, water conservancy technology and institutional changes. It affirmed its achievements in engineering and technology and its great contribution in promoting agricultural production. It also deeply reflected on the project quality and management methods of water conservancy construction, as well as its categorical denial of traditional culture.
