Ancient China banner - China’s Geography The Yellow (or Huang He) River5 and the Yangtze River6, the third longest in the world, were the most significant natural features in Ancient China. The Yellow River was to China what the Nile was to Egypt, and its basin provided some of the best agricultural land7. The Yangtze was vital for inland transportation, trade and many irrigation projects8.

Big data meets Big Brother as China moves to rate its citizens On June 14, 2014, the State Council of China published an ominous-sounding document called "Planning Outline for the Construction of a Social Credit System". In the way of Chinese policy documents, it was a lengthy and rather dry affair, but it contained a radical idea. What if there was a national trust score that rated the kind of citizen you were? Imagine a world where many of your daily activities were constantly monitored and evaluated: what you buy at the shops and online; where you are at any given time; who your friends are and how you interact with them; how many hours you spend watching content or playing video games; and what bills and taxes you pay (or not). It's not hard to picture, because most of that already happens, thanks to all those data-collecting behemoths like Google, Facebook and Instagram or health-tracking apps such as Fitbit. A futuristic vision of Big Brother out of control? China's new viral app could be straight out of Black Mirror Kevin Hong

I Re Magi sono realmente esistiti? Non erano re, non è detto che fossero tre e certamente non seguirono una cometa. Che venissero dalla Persia o dalla Mesopotamia è solo un’ipotesi; che si chiamassero Melchiorre, Baldassarre e Gaspare una leggenda; che uno di loro fosse di pelle nera, una fantasiosa invenzione. Benché siano citati da un solo vangelo su quattro (Matteo), che dedica loro dodici versetti in tutto (2: 1-12), l’aneddoto che li riguarda è uno dei più popolari (e falsificati) della storia sacra. Ma allora, i Magi sono davvero esistiti? Se usiamo la “m” minuscola, la risposta è sì. L’unico vero Di certo, però, quegli astronomi-indovini-sacerdoti non furono mai re. Verità storica? Forzati «Nel racconto evangelico» aggiunge Francesco Sforza Barcellona, docente di Storia del cristianesimo all’Università di Roma-Tor Vergata «ci sono messaggi in codice anche per gli Ebrei. Dove sarebbero sepolti? Ma la “scoperta” di messer Marco è tutt’altro che attendibile. Dal Catechismo

Explicit cookie consent MOST lovers of Chinese martial arts take the magical aspects of kung fu, as demonstrated by the flying fighters of legend and film, with a pinch of salt. But Wei Lei built his career in China on a claim that his mastery of tai chi, a branch of kung fu, had given him supernatural power. In a programme about kung fu that was broadcast on state television in 2015, Mr Wei demonstrated that he could keep a dove standing on his hand with an invisible force-field and smash the inside of a watermelon without damaging its rind. The broadcaster itself appeared to be among the credulous. There were many sceptics, too. A video of the clash spread rapidly online. But many netizens accused Mr Xu of trying to besmirch the country’s ancient fighting techniques: how, they asked, could a single fight prove anything? Some kung-fu fighters have expressed willingness to take up Mr Xu’s challenge. The authorities appear eager to put an end to the debate.

Chinese Geography: Readings and Maps Rivers, Borders and Civilization Major Rivers China's two major rivers, the Huang He (Yellow River) and the Chang Jiang (Yangzi or Yangtze River), as well as the Pearl River (Zhu Jiang) delta system marked by the Xi Jiang (West River) in southeastern China, have provided the framework for agricultural development and population growth throughout China's history. Another river, the Heilong Jiang (known also as the Amur River, its Russian name) marks the border between China and Russia; at times in the past, this area was one of confrontation between the neighbors. Each of these rivers has special characteristics and associated problems at different locations along their courses. Huang He (Yellow River). The lower course of the Huang He has changed 26 times in China's history, most notably nine times including major floods in 1194 AD and again in 1853, that brought untold disaster to the villages and towns of the North China Plain.
