        by Huang Tian

        To address the Sino-Japanese dispute of Diaoyu Islands (referred to as Ryukyu Islands by the Japanese), it is necessary to study the history of Ryukyu. In this book, the author collects abundant documents and makes some breakthrough on the unsettled history of Diaoyu Islands. In recent years, Japan has argued that Diaoyu Islands is an outlying island of Okinawa Prefecture, thus should belong to Japan. This book demonstrates that Diaoyu Islands never belongs to Okinawa, supported by suffcient historical facts, effectively refuting the absurdity of Japan’s argument. This book was written in the historical order from Sui Dynasty (581-618) with the earliest records on Ryukyu to the end of the World War II when Ryukyu was eventually included into Japan. Having studied Sino-Japanese relations for many years, the author notes down how Ming and Qing Dynasties of China protected and helped Ryukyu, and how Ryukyu paid tributes to China for fve centuries.

        The Good-looking Chinese Pictures

        by Tian Yubin

        This is an enlightenment book about Chinese painting for children. The book is divided into five parts: abstraction, characters, landscape, flowers and birds, and visions. It introduces the famous paintings in the history of Chinese painting to children in simple and understandable language, from the author and the story behind the painting to the details and paintings. The ideological implication and traditional cultural connotation behind are all explained one by one, which can not only cultivate children's aesthetic vision and inspire children to think, but also use this as an opportunity to guide children into the world of traditional culture. Traditional cultural education is a very important part of current school and family education, but it often lacks high-quality media with both professionalism and affinity, and places too much emphasis on instilling knowledge. The manuscript uses Chinese paintings as clues and uses vivid storytelling to enlighten children on traditional Chinese art and culture, which meets a considerable part of the market demand.

The discipline "forest hydrology" has been developed throughout the 20th century. During that time human intervention in natural landscapes has increased, and land use and management practices have intensified.
