Anhui: Encyclopedia II - Cuisine of Singapore - Fruits

There is a wide variety of fruits available, though these are mostly imports from neighbouring countries. A favorite is the durian, known as the "king of the fruits", which has a spiky outer shell and a characteristic odour. However, in spite of its popularity, durian is not allowed on public transport, most hotels and public buildings because of its strong odour. Other popular tropical fruits include mangosteen, jackfruit, longan, lychee, rambutan and pineapple. Some of these fruits are also used as ingredients ...

Anhui: Encyclopedia II - Xiahou Dun - Xiahou Dun in Romance of the Three Kingdoms

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a historical novel by Luo Guanzhong, was a romanticization of the events that occurred before and during the Three Kingdoms period. In the book, Xiahou Dun was said to be a cousin of Cao Cao, while his loss of an eye was also made much more dramatic than it probably was. In 198, Xiahou Dun was sent to engage Gao Shun and Cao Xing, two aides of Lü Bu, outside Xiaopei (小沛). As his force came upon the enemies, Xiahou Dun rode forward with spear set to offer a challenge. Gao Shun took him on and the two dueled for forty or fifty bouts before Gao Shun, feelin ...

Anhui: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Yuan of Jin - Early reign

In early 318, Han Zhao's emperor Liu Cong executed Emperor Min, and three months later, news arrived in Jiankang. Sima Rui then declared himself emperor (as Emperor Yuan). At this time, the areas directly under his control were roughly south of the Yellow River and east of the Three Gorges, although pockets of Jin territory in the north -- chief among which was You Province (幽州, modern Beijing, Tianjin, and northern Hebei), controlled by the ethnically Xianbei governor Duan Pidi (段匹磾) -- largely also recognized him as emperor. Howe ...

Anhui: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Mu of Jin - As adult emperor

In late 357, Emperor Mu married He Fani as his empress. In 358, Sima Yu offered to resign all of his powers, but Emperor Mu declined. Later that year, a northern campaign by the general Xun Xian (荀羨), intending to recapture the Shandong Peninsula, failed. In 359, with Former Yan exerting pressure on Jin possessions south of the Yellow River, the generals Xie Wan (謝萬), Zhuge You (諸葛攸), and Chi Tan (郗曇) advanced north to attack Former Yan, but the forces collapsed after Xie wrongly believed that Former Yan forces were near and ordered a retreat. Without aid, Jin possessions south of ...

Anhui: Encyclopedia II - Wang Ming - From Moscow to Yanan

From November 1931 to November 1937, Wang worked and lived in Moscow as Director of the CCP's delegation to the Comintern. During that period, he was elected as Executive Commissioner, member of the Presidium, and Alternate General of the Comintern. This indicated his prominence and popularity in the Comintern. It was also during this time, under the direction of Bo Gu, that the CCP suffered greatly at the hands of the KMT, both in the cities and the countryside. This led to a general retreat of the CCP to the distant countryside, cal ...

On May 23, 1904, Wang was born in Jinzhai, Anhui, as Chen Shaoyu (陈绍禹) to a poor peasant family. In 1920, he entered the Zhicheng Elementary School in Gushi County.

Anhui: Encyclopedia II - Wang Ming - Decline

In its battle against Imperial Japan, the KMT suffered great losses due to heavy internal corruption, incompetence in military command, and outdated military supply and logistics. As a strong advocate of the United Front, Wang was damaged as well by the KMT's failure in the battlefield. After KMT lost the battles of Xuzhou and Wuhan, in 1938, Wang suffered a heavy blow as the Yangtze Division was abolished and he himself was dismissed back to Yanan. Yanan was divided into the Southern China and Central Plain Divisions, led by Zhou Enlai and ...

Anhui: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Yuan of Jin - After the fall of Luoyang

In 311, Luoyang fell to Han Zhao forces, and Emperor Huai was captured. A large number of refugees, fleeing Han Zhao forces, crossed the Yangtze River and arrived in Sima Rui's domain. Under Wang Dao's suggestion, Sima Rui sought out the talented men among them and added them to his administration. Meanwhile, he began to exercise more imperial power, and began to put all other provinces south of the Huai River under his own control -- and, for the next few years, under the command of Wang Dun and other generals such as Tao Kan and Zhou Fang ...

Anhui: Encyclopedia II - Liu Bocheng - Legacy

In contrast to other CCP generals such as Lin Biao and Peng Dehuai , who had won Mao’s trust by some degree , Liu never won trust and real support from Mao. Liu earned his reputation and title only by outstanding military skills and sublime personalities. As a military talent, Liu was one of the first CPC commanders who changed the opinion of CPC armies as only good at bushfighting. He demonstrated the CPC armies’ expertise in regular battle, frontal attack, army groups campaign and siege too. Liu also was the first to introduce modern m ...

Anhui: Encyclopedia II - Wang Ming - From Beijing to Moscow

It was only after the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, that Wang reappeared from the shadows on to the political stage. He was elected as Director of the Central Legal Committee of the CCP and the Central People's Government. It was an irony for him to be responsible for advising on legislation in a dictatorial regime. Before he was elected as Commissioner of Central Committee of CCP in the 8th National Congress of CCP in 1956, Wang went to ...

Anhui: Encyclopedia II - East Asian calligraphy - Study

In Japan, smaller pieces of Japanese calligraphy are traditionally written seated in the traditional Japanese way (seiza), on the knees with the buttocks resting on the heels. In modern times, however, practitioners frequently practice calligraphy seated on a chair at a table. Larger pieces may be written while standing; in this case the paper is usually placed directly on the floor, but some calligraphers use an easel. A paperweight is placed at the top of all but the largest pages to prevent slipping; for smaller pieces the left hand is also placed at the bottom of the page for support. The brush is held in the right hand bet ...

Anhui: Encyclopedia II - Hebei - Culture

Dialects of Mandarin are spoken over most of the province, and most Mandarin dialects in Hebei are in turn classified as part of the Ji Lu Mandarin subdivision. Regions along the western border with Shanxi, however, have dialects that are distinct enough for linguists to consider them as part of Jin, another subdivision of Chinese, rather than Mandarin. In general, the dialects of Hebei are quite similar to and readily intelligible with the Beijing dialect, which forms the basis for Standard Mandarin, the official language of the nation. How ...
