Shangchen

The new finds imply that hominins covered vast distances before 2 million years ago — Shangchen is 14,000 kilometres from the nearest sites in East Africa where other hominins of this age have been found. It’s possible that the Shangchen toolmakers, hunter-gatherers, were simply following their foods, says Vivek Venkataraman, an evolutionary ecologist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

According to the most recent reports, the earliest evidence of hominins in Asia is in the Shangchen site in Lantian in the northern Qinling Mountains with, and the age range is 2.12—1.26 Ma (Zhu et al., 2018).

At the same time, the earliest hominin evidence outside Africa came from our newly found 2.12-million-year old^([sic – meaning year-old]) stone tools, which were found at Shangchen, a paleolithic locality, in Lantian County in the southern margin of the Chinese Loess Plateau.

A ride along the Chinese shore of the Tumen River illustrated its potential for development. From the city of Tumen, which was given a rail link in 1993, all the way to Fangchuan in the southern appendix of the municipality, there lies on the Chinese side a 100-kilometer-long strip of meadow and woodlands.

1997 [1996], Willem van Kemenade, translated by Diane Webb, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Inc., New York: Vintage Books, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, →OL, page 318:

The Chinese border town of Fangchuan, the easternmost point of China’s land border along the Tumen River, is only 2 km from the North Korean border train station at Doo-Man River Lee (an equivalent of a township). The rail and land crossings connect Hunchun conveniently with the three North Korean ports of Rajin (90 km away), Sonbong, and Chongjin. Finally, with the town of Fangchuan only 15 km away from the Sea of Japan, Hunchun marks the closest shipping point from northeastern China to the west coast of Japan, with a distance of 800 km from Niigata (see Liu and Liao, 1993).

2005, Xiangming Chen, As Borders Bend: Transnational Spaces on the Pacific Rim, Rowman & Littlefield, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, →OL, page 179:

A late-afternoon bus ride through the Yanbian countryside as sunlight glitters on fields of rice and warms the upturned roofs of Korean huts, is one of the most exquisite experiences available in the Northeast during July. The best excuse to take such a ride is Fangchuan, a tiny town at the end of a needle-thin strip of Chinese territory between North Korea and Russia, and China's preeminent border-viewing spot. A view from the tower here (¥20) provides vistas of Russia, North Korea and, on a clear day, the northern edge of Japan.

From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin Chinese pronunciation for 開弦弓／开弦弓 (Kāixiángōng).

zh-l

開弦弓／开弦弓 (Kāixiángōng)

The village chosen for my investigation is called Kaihsienkung, locally pronounced kejiug’on. It is situated on the south-east bank of Lake Tai, in the lower course of the Yangtze River and about eighty miles west of Shanghai.

[1939, Hsiao-tung (費孝通) Fei, 江村經濟 [Peasant Life in China], London: George Routledge and Sons, →OCLC, →OL, pages 9–10:

At the time of Fei’s study, Kaihsienkung had two headmen. The elder of the two did not deal with the higher government, having allowed a younger man to fill the official post.

[1958, Elman R. Service, Profiles in Ethnology, Harper & Row, published 1963, →LCCN, →OCLC, →OL, page 451:

Fei Xiaotong (Fei Hsiao-tung) (1939 : 22) reported that people over 60 constituted 6.3 percent of the village of Kaixiangong (K'ai-hsien-kung) in 1936, and those over 70 were 1.4 percent, exactly the proportions I found in my survey of Ploughshare.

1981, Other Ways of Growing Old, Stanford, Cali.: Stanford University Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 195:

In reporting here on his recent visits to the village of Kaixiangong, Fei Xiaotong presents the views of one of China's most noted social anthropologists on recent changes in the Chinese countryside as reflected in the village he first studied in 1936. Through a projected series of visits to Kaixiangong over the next several years, Fei hopes eventually to provide an update to his classic book, Peasant Life in China, first published in 1939.¹⁴ Kaixiangong has recently been designated a "field research station," and new Chinese graduate students in sociology will have an opportunity to conduct field research in that village and its surrounding region.

1983, Anne F. Thurston, Burton Pasternak, editors, The Social Sciences and Fieldwork in China: Views from the Field, Boulder, CO: Westview Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 12:

For example, when Fei Xiaotong studied the rural community of Kaixiangong (Kaihsienkung) half a century ago, he found these three calendars already in use.
