Original residence of Chang Hsueh-liang is reopened in Hsinchu County
A residence of the late military leader Chang Hsueh-liang has been reopened to the public. It was rebuilt with the support of a former Liaoning provincial governor who wanted to honor a figure considered to be a patriotic hero in his birth country of China. Drums can be heard at the opening ceremony for the former residence of Chang Hsueh-liang, who is also known as the “Young Marshal.” More than 50 years ago the building was destroyed by Typhoon Gloria. It was later rebuilt by the Hsinchu County government and reopened across the street. But a former provincial governor of Liaoning who felt it should be located in its original location donated NT$20 million for it to be rebuilt once again.Members of Chang’s family were invited to attend a ceremony to mark the home’s latest reopening, including his youngest sister Chang Huai-min. Chang Huai-minSisterHe was honest and always treated me well. And wherever he went he would take me. Tsai Jung-kuangHsinchu County Cultural AffairsThis former residence, the Young Marshal’s Museum, and the Xian Incident Museum are small, but they occupy an important part of history. Chang is most famous for the Xian Incident, where he arrested Chiang Kai-shek and later played a role in forcing the Kuomintang commander to join in the fight against the Japanese. Chiang would return the favor by putting Chang under house arrest for 50 years. Chang spent a portion of that time at this house in Hsinchu’s Wufeng Cingcyuan hot springs area.
Central Bank Governor links NTD appreciation to FDI, denies currency manipulation motives
An influx of foreign capital has been behind the Taiwan dollar''s recent appreciation, according to Central Bank Governor Perng Huai-nan, who played down suggestions that his bank''s monetary policy was aimed at avoiding US charges of currency manipulation. In an extensive question-and-answer session at the Legislature, Peng also resisted calls for him to swap posts with Premier Lin Chuan. Central Bank Governor Perng Fai-nan appeared for questioning in the Legislature, where lawmakers were calling for him to take over for Lin Chuan as the nation’s Premier. Perng, though, whose term ends next year in February, insisted he would end his civil service career at the Central Bank.Perng also faced questions on whether he had deliberately allowed the New Taiwan dollar to appreciate by nearly five percent against the greenback in order to avoid the US listing Taiwan as a possible currency manipulator. Perng Fai-nan Central Bank Governor The New Taiwan dollar has strengthened over this period because of a significant influx of foreign investment into Taiwan. From the beginning of the year up to now, Asia has seen about US$5 billion in net foreign investment, US$3 billion of which has come to Taiwan.Stirred by economic concerns over counterfeiting, DPP Legislator Gao Jyh-peng again floated a proposal to redesign the nation’s currency, but Central Bank Governor Perng was clear in his thoughts on the plan.Perng Fai-nan Central Bank Governor It would require six years at a cost of NT$50 billion. But the New Taiwan dollar’s anti-counterfeiting measures are already fine. The pictures on the notes emphasize education, sports, and technology, and the designs on the back demonstrate environmental awareness. I think there’s no urgent need for a redesign as of right now. It was an extensive questioning for Taiwan’s longest serving Central Bank Governor, who maintained he would leave government next year despite calls for him to join the Tsai administration.

Anhui
Anhui is a province of the People's Republic of China, and is part of the East China region. Located across the basins of the Yangtze River and the Huai River, it borders Jiangsu to the east, Zhejiang to the southeast, Jiangxi to the south, Hubei to the southwest, Henan to the northwest, and Shandong for a tiny section in the north. The provincial capital is Hefei.
The name Anhui derives from the names of two cities in southern Anhui, Anqing and Huizhou. The abbreviation for Anhui is 皖, because there were historically a State of Wan, a Mount Wan, and a Wan river in the province.

SUMMARY
=======
The Qing dynasty, officially the Great Qing (), was the last imperial dynasty of China. It was established in 1636, and ruled China proper from 1644 to 1912. It was preceded by the Ming dynasty and succeeded by the Republic of China. The Qing multi-cultural empire lasted for almost three centuries and formed the territorial base for modern China. It was the fifth largest empire in world history.
The dynasty was founded by the Manchu Aisin Gioro clan in Manchuria. In the late sixteenth century, Nurhaci, originally a Ming Jianzhou Guard vassal, began organizing Banners, military-social units that included Manchu, Han, and Mongol elements. Nurhaci formed the Manchu clans into a unified entity. By 1636, his son Hong Taiji began driving Ming forces out of Liaodong and declared a new dynasty, the Qing. In 1644, peasant rebels led by Li Zicheng conquered the Ming capital, Beijing. Rather than serve them, Ming general Wu Sangui made an alliance with the Manchus and opened the Shanhai Pass to the Banner Armies led by the regent Prince Dorgon, who defeated the rebels and seized the capital. Resistance from the Southern Ming and the Revolt of the Three Feudatories led by Wu Sangui delayed the Qing conquest of China proper by nearly four decades. The conquest was only completed in 1683 under the Kangxi Emperor reign (1661–1722). The Ten Great Campaigns of the Qianlong Emperor from the 1750s to the 1790s extended Qing control into Inner Asia. The early Qing rulers maintained their Manchu customs, and while their title was Emperor, they used Bogd khaan when dealing with the Mongols and they were patrons of Tibetan Buddhism. They governed using Confucian styles and institutions of bureaucratic government and retained the imperial examinations to recruit Han Chinese to work under or in parallel with Manchus. They also adapted the ideals of the tributary system in dealing with neighboring territories.
During the Qianlong Emperor reign (1735–1796) the dynasty reached its apogee, but then began its initial decline in prosperity and imperial control. The population rose to some 400 millions, but taxes and government revenues were fixed at a low rate, virtually guaranteeing eventual fiscal crisis. Corruption set in, rebels tested government legitimacy, and ruling elites failed to change their mindsets in the face of changes in the world system. Following the Opium Wars, European powers imposed unequal treaties, free trade, extraterritoriality and treaty ports under foreign control. The Taiping Rebellion (1850–1864) and the Dungan Revolt (1862–1877) in Central Asia led to the deaths of some 20 million people, most of them due to famines caused by war. In spite of these disasters, in the Tongzhi Restoration of the 1860s, Han Chinese elites rallied to the defense of the Confucian order and the Qing rulers. The initial gains in the Self-Strengthening Movement were destroyed in the First Sino-Japanese War of 1895, in which the Qing lost its influence over Korea and the possession of Taiwan. New Armies were organized, but the ambitious Hundred Days' Reform of 1898 was turned back in a coup by the conservative Empress Dowager Cixi. When the Scramble for Concessions by foreign powers triggered the violently anti-foreign Boxers, the foreign powers invaded China, Cixi declared war on them, leading to defeat and the flight of the Imperial Court to Xi'an.
After agreeing to sign the Boxer Protocol, the government initiated unprecedented fiscal and administrative reforms, including elections, a new legal code, and abolition of the examination system. Sun Yat-sen and other revolutionaries competed with constitutional monarchists such as Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao to transform the Qing Empire into a modern nation. After the deaths of Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor in 1908, the hardline Manchu court alienated reformers and local elites alike by obstructing social reform. The Wuchang Uprisi ...

STORYLINE
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan and Chinese President Xi Jinping presided on Wednesday over the signing of accords between their governments to facilitate 1.1 billion US dollars in low-interest loans for much-needed infrastructure in Nigeria.
China, which is increasingly looking to Africa for oil and other natural resources, is offering Nigeria loans to help fund airport terminals in four cities, roads, a light-rail line for its capital, a hydropower plant and oil and gas infrastructure.
Xi said both countries had been brought together by a common task of pursuing national development.
China and Nigeria share the same goal of achieving prosperity for both countries, and this shared task brings our two countries together.
Jonathan, on a four-day trip to China, has brought along about a dozen of his Cabinet ministers including those for petroleum resources, trade and transport, as well as several state governors, senior government officials and business-people.
China is a very good country, has a very robust economy. And that's why when I was coming, I came with quite a number of cabinet ministers and other very senior government functionaries, Jonathan said.
Following a meeting between Xi and Jonathan, representatives from both countries signed five deals, including a lending agreement between China's Import-Export Bank and the Nigerian finance ministry for the expansion of the airport terminals and an economic and technical cooperation pact.
Details of the agreements were not immediately available.
Nigerian Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said the loans being finalised during the trip are part of 3 (b) billion US dollars approved by China at interest rates of less than 3 percent.
Chinese companies are already building roads across Nigeria in contracts worth 1.7 (b) billion US dollars.
China's demand for crude oil produced in Nigeria is expected to rise tenfold to 200,000 barrels a day by 2015, according to information provided by a team accompanying the Nigerian president.

SUMMARY
=======
Emperor Wen of Sui (隋文帝; 21 July 541 – 13 August 604), personal name Yang Jian (楊堅), Xianbei name Puliuru Jian (普六茹堅), nickname Nryana (Chinese: 那羅延; pinyin: Nàluóyán), was the founder and first emperor of China's Sui Dynasty (581–618 AD). He was a hard-working administrator and a micromanager. The Sui Shu records him as having withdrawn his favour from the Confucians, giving it to the group advocating Xing-Ming and authoritarian government. As a Buddhist, he encouraged the spread of Buddhism through the state. He is regarded as one of the most important emperors in Chinese history, reunifying China in 589 after centuries of division since the fall of Western Jin Dynasty in 316. During his reign began the construction of the Grand Canal.
As a Northern Zhou official, Yang Jian served with apparent distinction during the reigns of Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou and Emperor Xuan of Northern Zhou. When the erratic Emperor Xuan died in 580, Yang, as his father-in-law, seized power as regent. After defeating the general Yuchi Jiong, who resisted him, he seized the throne for himself, establishing the new Sui Dynasty (as its Emperor Wen). He was the first Chinese to rule North China after the Xianbei invasion which conquered that area from the Liu Song dynasty (not counting the brief reconquest of that region by Emperor Wu of Liang).
Generally speaking, Emperor Wen's reign was a great period of prosperity not seen since the Han Dynasty. Economically, the dynasty prospered. It was said that there was enough food stored for 50 years. The military was also powerful. At the beginning of his reign, Sui faced the threat of the Göktürks to the north, and neighbored Tibetan tribes to the west, Goguryeo in the northeast, and Champa (Linyi) threatening the south. By the end of Emperor Wen's reign, the Göktürks had split into an eastern and a western kaganate, the eastern one being nominally submissive to Sui, as was Goguryeo. Champa was defeated and, while not conquered, did not remain a threat.
Emperor Wen is also famous for having the fewest number of concubines for an adult Chinese emperor. (Emperor Fei of Western Wei and the Ming dynasty Hongzhi Emperor were the only two perpetually monogamous Chinese emperors.) Emperor Wen was known for having only two concubines (although he might have had additional concubines not documented by traditional historians), with whom he might not have had sexual relations until after the death in 602 of his wife Empress Dugu, whom he loved and respected deeply.

SUMMARY
=======
The Northern and Southern dynasties (Chinese: 南北朝; pinyin: Nán-Běi Cháo) was a period in the history of China that lasted from 420 to 589, following the tumultuous era of the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Wu Hu states. It is sometimes considered as the latter part of a longer period known as the Six Dynasties (220 to 589). Though an age of civil war and political chaos, it was also a time of flourishing arts and culture, advancement in technology, and the spread of Mahayana Buddhism and Daoism. The period saw large-scale migration of Han Chinese to the lands south of the Yangtze. The period came to an end with the unification of all of China proper by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.
During this period, the process of sinicization accelerated among the non-Chinese arrivals in the north and among the indigenous people in the south. This process was also accompanied by the increasing popularity of Buddhism (introduced into China in the 1st century) in both northern and southern China and Daoism gaining influence as well, with two essential Daoist canons written during this period.
Notable technological advances occurred during this period. The invention of the stirrup during the earlier Jin dynasty (265–420) helped spur the development of heavy cavalry as a combat standard. Historians also note advances in medicine, astronomy, mathematics, and cartography. Intellectuals of the period include the mathematician and astronomer Zu Chongzhi (429–500).
Attabu
Attabu is the origin of Wufeng Lin family, one of the five major Taiwanese families. The rise of the family to the local eminence serves as the best example of Taiwan's social history towards the end of imperial China. His influence was infinite and could not find an equal. Challenge after challenge, Lin played a role in some important historical wars until a twist of fate were forced to fight for survival. Unlike a traditional documentary, Attabu combined with drama and create a new style to present the story of Wufeng Lin family, which can be seen as the epitome of his time.

SUMMARY
=======
Wuhan ([ù.xân] (listen); simplified Chinese: 武汉; traditional Chinese: 武漢) is the capital and largest city of the Chinese province of Hubei. It is the most populous city in Central China, with a population of over 10 million, the seventh-most populated Chinese city, and one of the nine National Central Cities of China. It lies in the eastern Jianghan Plain, on the middle reaches of the Yangtze River's intersection with the Han river. Arising out of the conglomeration of three cities, Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang, Wuhan is known as China's Thoroughfare (九省通衢), and holds sub-provincial status.
Wuhan's history dates 3500 years. It was the location of the Wuchang Uprising, which led to the downfall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. Wuhan was briefly the capital of China in 1927 under the left wing of the Kuomintang (KMT) government led by Wang Jingwei. The city later served as the wartime capital of China in 1937 for 10 months during the Second Sino-Japanese War. During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, an armed conflict between two hostile groups who were fighting for control over the city became known as the Wuhan incident.
Wuhan today is considered the political, economic, financial, commercial, cultural and educational centre of Central China. It is a major transportation hub, with dozens of railways, roads and expressways passing through the city and connecting to other major cities. Because of its key role in domestic transportation, Wuhan is sometimes referred to as the Chicago of China by foreign sources. The Golden Waterway of the Yangtze River and its largest tributary, the Han River, traverse the urban area and divides Wuhan into the three districts of Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang. The Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge crosses the Yangtze in the city. The Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest power station in terms of installed capacity, is located nearby.
While Wuhan has for decades been a traditional base for manufacturing, it has also become one of the areas promoting modern industrial change. Wuhan consists of three national development zones, four scientific and technologic development parks, over 350 research institutes, 1,656 hi-tech enterprises, numerous enterprise incubators, and investments from 230 Fortune Global 500 firms. It produced GDP of US$ 224 billion in 2018. The Dongfeng Motor Corporation, an automobile manufacturer, is hea ...

CHINA 2: Era Imperial (Parte 1) - Dinastías Qin, Han y el Periodo de División
EPISODIO 71 de PERO ESO ES OTRA HISTORIA (web serie documental)
Historia de China, dinastías Qin, Han, Dinastía Xin, Jin Occidental, Jin Oriental, Periodo de los Tres Reinos, de los Dieciséis Reinos, Dinastías del Norte y Dinastías del Sur.
Después de la unificación de China por Qin Shi Huang, este monarca organizó un nuevo orden en un imperio, dando comienzo a la era imperial china que duraría hasta el siglo XX. Los comienzos de esta Dinastía Qin no fueron fáciles, pues tuvieron bronca con las tribus nómadas del norte, los Xiongnu, llamados Hunos en Europa, y también muchos nobles de los antiguos Reinos Combatientes le querían muerto.
Un líder rebelde llamado Liu Bang mató a uno de sus descendientes y comenzó una nueva dinastía, la Dinastía Han, por el año 202 a.C. Fue una época de relativa paz y gran prosperidad, como hacía tiempo que no se conocía. Hubo grandes innovaciones, como el papel de arroz por Cai Lun o la Ballesta de repetición, así como armamento pesado para proteger la Gran Muralla China de las tribus nómadas de Mongolia.
Sin embargo, tras 400 años de esta dinastía Han, la cosa se torció y los chinos entraron en un periodo también de 400 años pero de decadencia, desunión y descontrol. Primero el imperio se dividió en Tres Reinos, dirigidos por Cao Cao, Liu Bei y Sun Quan. Serían los descendientes del primero los que se quedarían con todo, dando lugar a la Dinastía Jin Occidental, que luego se dividiría tras una invasión de los Xiongnu y de los Turcos Celestiales o Kaganato de los Kokturks. Después de años y años de hostias un tipo llamado Yang Jian lograría unificar de nuevo todo el territorio con la Dinastía Sui.

SUMMARY
=======
The Xiongnu [ɕjʊ́ŋ.nǔ] (Chinese: 匈奴; Wade–Giles: Hsiung-nu) were a confederation of nomadic peoples who, according to ancient Chinese sources, inhabited the eastern Asian Steppe from the 3rd century BC to the late 1st century AD. Chinese sources report that Modu Chanyu, the supreme leader after 209 BC, founded the Xiongnu Empire.After their previous overlords, the Yuezhi, migrated into Central Asia during the 2nd century BC, the Xiongnu became a dominant power on the steppes of north-east Central Asia, centred on an area known later as Mongolia. The Xiongnu were also active in areas now part of Siberia, Inner Mongolia, Gansu and Xinjiang. Their relations with adjacent Chinese dynasties to the south east were complex, with repeated periods of conflict and intrigue, alternating with exchanges of tribute, trade, and marriage treaties.
Attempts to identify the Xiongnu with later groups of the western Eurasian Steppe remain controversial. Scythians and Sarmatians were concurrently to the west. The identity of the ethnic core of Xiongnu has been a subject of varied hypotheses, because only a few words, mainly titles and personal names, were preserved in the Chinese sources. The name Xiongnu may be cognate with that of the Huns or the Huna, although this is disputed. Other linguistic links – all of them also controversial – proposed by scholars include Iranian, Mongolic, Turkic, Uralic, Yeniseian, Tibeto-Burman or multi-ethnic.

SUMMARY
=======
The earliest known written records of the history of China date from as early as 1250 BC, from the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BC). Ancient historical texts such as the Records of the Grand Historian (c. 100 BC) and the Bamboo Annals (296 BC) describe a Xia dynasty (c. 2070–1600 BC) before the Shang, but no writing is known from the period, and Shang writings do not indicate the existence of the Xia. The Shang ruled in the Yellow River valley, which is commonly held to be the cradle of Chinese civilization. However, Neolithic civilizations originated at various cultural centers along both the Yellow River and Yangtze River. These Yellow River and Yangtze civilizations arose millennia before the Shang. With thousands of years of continuous history, China is one of the world's oldest civilizations, and is regarded as one of the cradles of civilization.The Zhou dynasty (1046–256 BC) supplanted the Shang, and introduced the concept of the Mandate of Heaven to justify their rule. The central Zhou government began to weaken due to external and internal pressures in the 8th century BC, and the country eventually splintered into smaller states during the Spring and Autumn period. These states became independent and warred with one another in the following Warring States period. Much of traditional Chinese culture, literature and philosophy first developed during those troubled times.
In 221 BC Qin Shi Huang conquered the various warring states and created for himself the title of Huangdi or emperor of the Qin, marking the beginning of imperial China. However, the oppressive government fell soon after his death, and was supplanted by the longer lived Han dynasty (206 BC–220 AD). Successive dynasties developed bureaucratic systems that enabled the emperor to control vast territories directly. In the 21 centuries from 206 BC until AD 1912, routine administrative tasks were handled by a special elite of scholar-officials. Young men, well-versed in calligraphy, history, literature, and philosophy, were carefully selected through difficult government examinations. China's last dynasty was the Qing (1644–1912), which was replaced by the Republic of China in 1912, and in the mainland by the People's Republic of China in 1949, resulting in two de facto states claiming to be the legitimate government of all China.
Chinese history has alternated between periods of political unity and peace, and periods of war and failed statehood – the most recent being the Chinese Civil War (1927–1949). China was occasionally dominated by steppe peoples, most of whom were eventually assimilated into the Han Chinese culture and population. Between eras of multiple kingdoms and warlordism, Chinese dynasties have ruled parts or all of China; in some eras control stretched as far as Xinjiang and Tibet, as at present. Traditional culture, and influences from other parts of Asia and the Western world (carried by waves of immigration, cultural assimilation, expansion, and foreign contact), form the basis of the modern culture of China.
