A genius abandoning the young, being treated as a servant by a beautiful female student, being stepped on by a tyrant, being bullied by his friends and relatives, being beaten up by his friends for the sake of his friends and being thrown to the ground to die.
The cultivation world's prodigy, Qin Xiaobai, who had a blood feud with his enemies, was sent down to the mortal world. He met five completely different women in this mortal world. They were the keys to opening the Chaos Seal ... Only by eliminating all emotions and desires could one cultivate to become an immortal?
She was the world's number one assassin. She had accidentally transmigrated and became a poor orphan girl with her father and mother, and her brother was hanging by her side.He was a novice emperor who looked mediocre on the surface but was actually black on the inside.When two people met, was it a matter of fate or a previous life?Happy enemies, should they live a life together or should they live in peace?
This collection of essays written from 1947-1986 by Fei Hsiao-tung, China's most distinguished sociologist and anthropologist, presents a rich and representative sampling of the research that has characterized his long career. In 1936, Fei conducted field work in Kaixian'gong, a village in Jiangsu province in east China. This village became the subject of his now classic study Peasant Life in China, in which he argued that, because of China's huge population and the scarcity of cultivable land, household industries such as production of raw silk were vital to the peasants' economic survival. His conclusions, long rejected by China's policymakers, have recently been embraced by the government under the political leadership of Deng Xiaopeng. Returning to Kaixian'gong in 1957 and again in the 1980s, Fei examined the changes that had occurred since his initial research. Three essays that resulted from these follow-up studies are included in this collection, providing a rare summary and analysis of developments in the village between 1936 and 1986. Also included here are four articles based on Fei's 1983-84 research in other areas of Jiangsu province. His explorations of the contrast between the wealth of southern Jiangsu and the long-standing poverty of the northern half of the province address key issues of public policy in China today. Useful to students of rural sociology as well as of Chinese history, politics, economics, and anthropology, this collection will provide an overview not only of developments in the small towns of China but also of Fei's thought.
What does the rise of China represent, and how should the international community respond? With a holistic rereading of Chinese longue durée history, Fei-Ling Wang provides a simple but powerful framework for understanding the nature of persistent and rising Chinese power and its implications for the current global order. He argues that the Chinese ideation and tradition of political governance and world order—the China Order—is based on an imperial state of Confucian-Legalism as historically exemplified by the Qin-Han polity. Claiming a Mandate of Heaven to unify and govern the whole known world or tianxia (all under heaven), the China Order dominated Eastern Eurasia as a world empire for more than two millennia, until the late nineteenth century. Since 1949, the People's Republic of China has been a reincarnated Qin-Han polity without the traditional China Order, finding itself stuck in the endless struggle against the current world order and the ever-changing Chinese society for its regime survival and security. Wang also offers new discoveries and assessments about the true golden eras of Chinese civilization, explains the great East-West divergence between China and Europe, and analyzes the China Dream that drives much of current Chinese foreign policy.
Trenchant, sophisticated, and cynical, Han Feizi has been read in every age and is still of interest today when people are more than ever concerned with the nature and use of power. Han Feizi (280?-233 B.C.), a prince of Han, was a representative of the Fa-chia, or Legalist, school of philosophy and produced the final and most readable exposition of its theories. His handbook for the ruler deals with the problems of strengthening and preserving the state, the way of the ruler, the use of power, and punishment and favor. Ironically, the ruler most influenced by Han Feizi, the king of Qin, eventually sent Han Feizi to prison, where he later committed suicide.
There is an urgent need for innovative, cost-effective, and sustainable approaches to reduce the tremendous environmental impact of conventional cement and cement-based technologies. Consuming a significantly lower quantity of natural resources than conventional cements, with the added ability to effectively sequestering carbon, magnesia cements offer great potential in this area. Magnesia Cements: From Formulation to Application explores the latest developments in this exciting area, reviewing the unique properties offered by these cements, including superior strength, fire resistance, and exceptional ability to bond to a wide range of aggregates, and highlighting their potential role in making cement production and usage more sustainable. Providing detailed analysis of the chemistry, properties, manufacture, and both traditional and novel applications, Magnesia Cements: From Formulation to Application is ideally suited for materials scientists, cement chemists, ceramicists, and engineers involved with the design, development, application and impact assessment of magnesia cements across both academia and industry. - Provides formulary information research into more environmentally friendly cement systems - Discusses chemical phase analysis and the impact of formulation - Applies analysis and history of global uses to provide support for future environmentally stable industrial, building, and non-building applications

The placebo effect is a fascinating yet puzzling phenomenon which has challenged investigators over the past 50 years. Some researchers have initiated investigations of the effects of placebos in animals, and have shown that associative learning is a major way to elicit placebo responses. Pain is the field in which most of the placebo research has been performed. In contrast to numerous studies involving human subjects, the available literature on placebo-induced analgesia in animal models is rare. This chapter introduces a special drug-conditioning procedure, a cue paired with morphine or aspirin, eliciting analgesic responses in a hot plate test. This established placebo analgesia was considered to be transferable from pain to depression and could produce a significant antidepressant effect in a test on depression in mice. Furthermore, the opioid placebo analgesia was found to be mediated exclusively through a μ-opioid receptor in the rat. The pros and cons of studying placebo in animal models are also discussed at the end of this chapter.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a thousand-year-old Daoist monastery, the Jade Spring Dao Academy. He had hidden a thousand-year-old treasured jade sword. Legend has it that it was the ancestor of the Dao Sect, Chen Shi, who was at the top of the mysterious mountain, and when the Supreme Celestial was cultivating in seclusion for a hundred years, the treasure he bestowed upon the Supreme Celestial was once sealed in a rootless jade spring at the top of the mountain ... After experiencing countless hardships, I finally came back to the mortal world. I hope that everyone will be able to look forward to it. [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]
