Most of the chronically poor counties in Yunnan Province in the late 1970s tended to specialize in nongrain crops in the late 1950s. That was particularly true of ten counties, almost half the provincial total of chronically poor counties, located in two contiguous prefectures, Wenshan and Hungho, in tropical southeastern Yunnan.

Continued excavation at the Shang dynasty site at Erlitou in Yenshih county, Honan province, has yielded more finds of importance.

1975 November, Nai Hsia, “The Slaves Were the Makers of History—New archaeological finds on ancient Chinese slave society”, in China Reconstructs, volume XXIV, number 11, China Welfare Institute, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 40, column 2:

Most Chinese archaeologists believe that a site called Erlitou near Luoyang was for a time a Xia capital. If one takes the traditional commentaries and texts seriously, Erlitou was certainly at the right place and the right time to be a Xia capital.

2006, Robert L. Thorp, Visiting China's Past: A Guide to Sites and Resources, →ISBN, →OCLC, pages 67–68:

Dr. Wu’s team said its reconstruction of the outburst flood from the Jishi Gorge showed that the ancient textual accounts of the Great Flood “may well be rooted in a historic natural event.” The finding also supports the idea, the researchers say, that archaeological remains found at Erlitou, a site about 1,550 miles downstream from the gorge, may have been the Xia capital, given that the Erlitou culture dates to 1900 B.C., the same time as the Jishi Gorge flood.

2016 August 4, Nicholas Wade, “Scientific Evidence of Flood May Give Credence to Legend of China’s First Dynasty”, in The New York Times, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2016-08-04:

The excavation of a 2,000-year-old palace in the village of Erlitou, Yanshi county – which has since been recovered as farmland – led to the site being identified as Zhengxun, the last capital of the Xia, by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This sparked both excitement and scepticism throughout the academic world.

Discovered in Shanghai was a "Shang Yang Fang Sheng,"³¹ a standard measure for grain during the period of the reform led by the Chin Prime Minister Shang Yang, dated the 18th year of Prince Hsiao’s³² reign (344 B.C.). It was inscribed on one of its sides. When Chin Shih Huang unified the country, this measure was adopted as the standard throughout the land, and the imperial edict on the matter, issued in the 26th year of his reign, was engraved on its base. In 1973-74 in Shanpaoyingtzu, Naiman Banner, Cherim League,³³ Kirin Province, excavations on an ancient city site revealed a pottery measure engraved with the same imperial edict.

Minhang

From the Mandarin pronunciation of Chinese 閔行 /闵行 (Mǐnháng).

Innovations and new construction of the last decade have brought about remarkable changes in Shanghai’s industrial outlook. A dozen industrial districts, such as Minhang, Woosung and Pengpu, which have been built up or extended, have done much to remedy the inadequacies and overconcentration of the past.

The atonal pinyin romanization of the Mandarin 長寧 /长宁 (Chángníng, literally “Long Pacified”).

With the help of these repressive forces, Chang Ch’un-ch’iao’s regime managed to weld some unity in the administration. The Shanghai Revolutionary Committee was little more than a name, for it lacked mass support and roots in the districts and suburbs of the municipal areas. To remedy this, the formation of local Revolutionary Committees was given top priority. By the time I left in April, two key districts had set up such committees — the downtown area of Whangpoo and the western district of Changning.
Opposition was still strong in the city. In Changning District, where I lived, it took weeks of argument and compromise to get a workable committee set up.

About the 1st of this month, the British barque Sally, Captain Tait, on her voyage from Newchang to, this port, became a total wreck, eight miles N.E. from Cupchi Point. On the 4th, the second mate of the vessel arrived here overland and reported the ship ashore at Breaker Point; in consequence of which H.B.M.’s gunboat Hart left on the Sth, and having gone along the Coast past Breaker Point to Tungoa Road, without seeing anything of the wreck, returned on the 6th.

We had been dashing along before the gale at fully eleven knots an hour, when we went upon some unknown rock off Breaker Point—a projecting headland some sixty miles south of Swatow—so the terrible force with which we struck may easily be imagined.

Lease-lend had been terminated within a few weeks of the Japanese surrender, but as far as we in Hong Kong knew other Anglo-American agreements were still in force. An unusual case cropped up when an American Liberty, the Josiah Nelson Cushing, ran ashore at Breaker Point near Swatow, while in ballast. I wondered what an American vessel was doing in the area but sent the King Salvor and Prince Salvor to her assistance.

My Chinese guide and I were standing in the Yardang National Geopark, on the border between Gansu Province and the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region in China’s extreme northwest. The nearest town was Dunhuang, 110 miles to the southeast. Enormous yardangs — curving sandstone and mudstone strata carved by winds — towered over us. Others floated on the far horizon.
“You mean the singing sands?” I asked. On my map, an asterisk marked this strange feature of the Kumtag Desert, three miles from Dunhuang. If you throw yourself down the dunes in that place, the air resonates — sometimes like the lowest note on a cello; sometimes like a crack of thunder.

All rocks around us contain significant amounts of rare earth elements, but they become concentrated in these exotic magmas through slow crystallisation in Earth’s crust. This is usually not enough to make an ore deposit, which consists of millions of tonnes of rock made up of between 5 and 50% by weight of rare earth elements. A second step of concentration is required.
In giant deposits such as Bayan Obo in Inner Mongolia, hot fluids loaded with carbonate appear to have undergone this extra concentration step. But exactly how has been a mystery.

Bayan Mod

The annual variation of precipitation shows a clear summer maximum which, however, becomes weaker or is nearly extinguished in Northwest China. Evidence is given by comparing the annual variation of precipitation for Bayan Mod/252 with Ürümqi/269 and Altay/270, and by considering the portions of precipitation for winter and summer:[…]

Bayan Mod, in the heart of the Badain Jaran Jesert, is especially dry during the winter. It receives only 5.8 mm of precipitation. This 5-month total represents barely 5 percent of the annual precipitation total of 100 mm.

The ratios of Mg to Ca were around 0.16 (ranging from 0.14 at Bayan Mod to 0.25 at Badaijilin), although there is a possibility that a part of Mg is present as dolomitic calcite (Quan et al., 1994).

At Bayan Mod, the dominant winds are from the NW (Fig. 1), driven by the winter monsoon blowing from the Siberian High Pressure, with DP and RDD of 280.8 vector units (VU) and 120.5°, respectively.
