The Ming Dynasty

In ancient China, an unobstructed, convenient and efficient transmission system nationwide was established for long-distance transmission of information. The transmission system works to different degrees in different regions, which is an important index to measure the interregional information level. Yet, some minor differences, may not be easily sensed by people subjectively. Identifying and quantifying the influences of information transmission efficiency is the best way to solve this problem. Based on the historical information map visualized by ArcGIS software, this study established a hierarchy evaluation model suitable for the analysis of ancient information transmission efficiency from three aspects of Wei-Suo system, beacon system and post system. The information transmission systems in five different regions of Wenzhou in the Ming Dynasty were quantitatively explored respectively. The results break through the qualitative conclusions of the general studies, and find out that the overall information transmission efficiency of Wenzhou in Ming Dynasty was strong in coastal, northern and southern regions, but weak in inland and central regions, which was closely related to the geographical environment and military defense demands in coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty. The model is proven to greatly contribute to judging the spatial configuration of ancient information transmission system in different regions, and provides a new idea for the study on ancient information transmission system.

The analysis and modeling of road network capacity provides a useful measure for urban planning and traffic management. Therefore, the primary purpose of this research is to construct a novel approach of modeling the capacity of road network, based on the theory of space and time consumption. Based on the analysis of model parameters, a bi-level model is proposed to determine and optimize the capacity of road network Meanwhile, this paper elaborates on solution algorithm for its upper and lower level model. Taking the area of Ming Dynasty City Wall in Xi’an, China into account as a case study, the effectiveness of this proposed model is verified. The results presents that the model’s validity is verified. The results show that the main road network capacity in city wall of Ming Dynasty is 721883 pcu/d.

This essay depicts the beginning of the Spanish Empire in the Asia-Pacific in the mid-sixteenth century (Ming dynasty), when Spaniard Miguel de Legazpi from Mexico in the Americas colonized the Philippines and established Manila as an extension of Spain’s American colony of New Spain. Sustaining this trans-Pacific relationship for 250 year was the Manila Galleon Trade between Acapulco, Mexico and Manila, trading American silver for Chinese silk, porcelain and other fine goods. The large community (twenty to thirty thousand) of Hokkien-speaking migrants from South Fujian (Minnan) which quickly arose and confined to ethnic neighbourhood outside the Manila city wall, became indispensable to the galleon trade by transporting from China all the luxury goods for the galleons, while resident artisans and labourers provided all the everyday consumer items, food, and services to the small Spanish population in Manila city. This first American “Chinatown” was the first large and permanent overseas Chinese community of Southeast Asia/Nanyang, which launched the worldwide Chinese diasporic movement that continues to this day, stretching all over the Americas, Europe and Africa.

In this paper Xian 4th tube line is selected as the research target, the earth surface deformation is evaluated based on the soil surface deformation model, and the influence of construction of Xian 4th tube line on the city wall of Ming dynasty is investigated, the protection scheme and rules are proposed when the tube pass through the city wall, the influence on the wall is evaluated during the tube operation and the protection technique is also proposed, which will reduce the influence from the construction and operation of tube, and the friendly development between the railway transportation and environment is realized.
