        China: Museums

        by Miriam Clifford, Cathy Giangrande, Antony White

        This book is a must-have companion for anyone interested in discovering more about China's rich heritage; with over 500 color images, wonderfully descriptive text, quick glance information including 'highlights' and 'key' objects, and all details of address and opening hours. Providing comprehensive descriptions not only of well-known attractions, such as the Forbidden City and the Shanghai Museum, this guide also covers some of the less known and more remote archaeological sites, such as the Linzi Museum (where over 600 horses were buried alive at the whim of an ancient king), the Museum of Oriental Musical Instruments and the Chinese Traditional Medicine Museum. Covering China's most famous and respected museums, the book also covers many smaller, lesser-known museums, ranging from art and archaeology to science and technology, history and politics - all of which combine to provide the reader with a deep understanding of China's past and present.

        Competition of Local Governments

        by FENG Xingyuan

        This book discusses the theoretical paradigm and analytical framework of local government competition. It carries out empirical analysis from several perspectives - local development mode, local protectionism, division of public service duties between different government levels, urban government competition, county and township level financial and fiscal system, and villager self-governance etc. The book expands the application of the paradigm of “competition-oriented government” in the analysis of economy, finance, and political behavior of local governments and explores the possibility of using fiscal federalism as a framework of order for local government competition.

The work demonstrates China’s Feng-shui theory with cultural, geographical, biological and philosophical significance. The author, with amply practical experience in urban design and landscape design, reveals the cultural significance of Feng-shui with respect and understanding towards culture, belief, local development, as well as an objective attitude towards this theory.

        History of Ancient Chinese Jewellery

        by Li Ya, etc

        This book analyses and examines the origins, names, categories, materials, styles, production techniques, wearing styles and decorative patterns of jewelry, as well as the corresponding rules and regulations and other cultural information attached to them, through a combination of literature, aesthetic appreciation and cultural interpretation, and explains the close relationship between dress and people in traditional Chinese culture: jewelry is close to people and is an important symbol of status, skills and so on. It also directly reflects the spirituality, philosophical thinking, aesthetic standards and cultural trends of society. The book fills a gap in the study of ancient Chinese jewelry and is of innovative and cumulative cultural value. It was nominated for the 5th China Publishing Government Award.
