Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A holy place is a place that the followers of a religion consider having a special religious significance. A holy place may be visited by the followers of a certain religion, who find inspiration by visiting it; it may be visited also by other people out of curiosity about that particular religion, or else attracted by its historical, artistic, or scenic value. The religion or philosophy, or better religion-and-philosophy, known as Confucianism is a kind of legendary phoenix; it has been periodically destroyed, just to rise again from its ashes. The last astonishing case has happened in modern times. After one century of destruction, culminating in the Cultural Revolution, Confucianism has been gradually making a comeback. It returned to life as a philosophy during the second half of the last century. In this century, a revival is in process also of the religious face of Confucianism. In any case, Confucianism is both a philosophy and a religion, the separation of the two is a Western concern. We will divide our list of the main Confucian holy places in six groups or sections, as follows: 1st Group: The Qufu Area. 2nd Group: Beijing and Other Historic Cities. 3rd Group: Places Related to Confucian Saints. 4th Group: Places Related to Leading Scholars (Sages). 5th Group: Confucian Academies. 6th Group: Sacred Mountains.

This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis we adapt fundamental parts of the Graph Minors series of Robertson and Seymour for the study of matching minors and investigate a connection to the study of directed graphs. We develope matching theoretic to established results of graph minor theory: We characterise the existence of a cross over a conformal cycle by means of a topological property. Furthermore, we develope a theory for perfect matching width, a width parameter for graphs with perfect matchings introduced by Norin. here we show that the disjoint alternating paths problem can be solved in polynomial time on graphs of bounded width. Moreover, we show that every bipartite graph with high perfect matching width must contain a large grid as a matching minor. Finally, we prove an analogue of the we known Flat Wall theorem and provide a qualitative description of all bipartite graphs which exclude a fixed matching minor. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden fundamentale Teile des Graphminorenprojekts von Robertson und Seymour für das Studium von Matching Minoren adaptiert und Verbindungen zur Strukturtheorie gerichteter Graphen aufgezeigt. Wir entwickeln matchingtheoretische Analogien zu etablierten Resultaten des Graphminorenprojekts: Wir charakterisieren die Existenz eines Kreuzes über einem konformen Kreis mittels topologischer Eigenschaften. Weiter entwickeln wir eine Theorie zu perfekter Matchingweite, einem Weiteparameter für Graphen mit perfekten Matchings, der von Norin eingeführt wurde. Hier zeigen wir, dass das Disjunkte Alternierende Pfade Problem auf bipartiten Graphen mit beschränkter Weite in Polynomialzeit lösbar ist. Weiter zeigen wir, dass jeder bipartite Graph mit hoher perfekter Matchingweite ein großes Gitter als Matchingminor enthalten muss. Schließlich zeigen wir ein Analogon des bekannten Flat Wall Theorem und geben eine qualitative Beschreibung aller bipartiter Graphen an, die einen festen Matching Minor ausschließen.

Book excerpt: In 2003, the Chinese Xinhua News Agency journalist Wang Jun published the bestseller Beijing Record, the result of ten years of research on the urban transformation of Beijing in the last fifty years. Home to more than 15 million people, this ancient capital city — not surprisingly — has a controversial, complicated history of planning and politics, development and demolition. The publication raises a number of unsettling questions: Why has valuable historical architecture such as city ramparts, gateways, old temples, memorial archways and the urban fabric of the hutongs (traditional alleyways) and siheyuan (courtyard houses) been visibly disappearing for decades? Why are so many houses being demolished at a time of economic growth? Is no one prepared to stand up for the preservation of the city? For his research, Wang went through innumerable archives, read diaries and collected an unprecedented quantity of data, accessing first-hand materials and unearthing photographs that clearly document the city’s relentless, unprecedented physical makeover. In addition, he conducted more than 50 in-person interviews with officials, planners, scholars and other experts. Wang’s publication presents a survey of the main developments and government-level (both central and municipal) decisions, devoting a lot of attention to the 1950s and 1960s, when Beijing experienced a critical wave of transformative events. Shortly after its publication by SDX joint Publishing Company House in October 2003, Beijing Record ignited a firestorm of debate and discussion in a country where public interaction over such a sensitive subject rarely surfaces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This literary companion surveys the young adult works of American author Marion Zimmer Bradley, primarily known for her work in the fantasy genre. An A to Z arrangement includes coverage of novels (The Catch Trap, Survey Ship, The Fall of Atlantis, The Firebrand, The Forest House and The Mists of Avalon), the graphic narrative Warrior Woman, the Lythande novella The Gratitude of Kings, and, from the Darkover series, The Shattered Chain, The Sword of Aldones and Traitor's Sun. Separate entries on dominant themes--rape, divination, religion, violence, womanhood, adaptation and dreams--comb stories and longer works for the author's insights about the motivation of institutions that oppress marginalized groups, especially women.
