The parameters of this earthquake were reported differently in various versions of earthquake catalogues. According to detailed textual research on the historic records of this earthquake,the epicenter location of the earthquake was further confirmed by means of seismo-geological field investigations in the Chaohu-Tongling region along the western Yangtze River valleys. Shallow seismic prospecting and drilling methods were applied in studying the buried fault. The possibility of the existence of seismogenic faults and fault activity in the western Yangtze River area were analyzed in depth,and the causative tectonic background of the 1585 MS5 3/4 south Chaoxian earthquake was studied. The results of this study indicate that the Yanjiaqiao-Fengshahu fault,which was active in the early to mid-Pleistocene,is possibly the causative structure of this earthquake. To identifying the seismogenic structure of the 1585 south Chaoxian earthquake will help gain more knowledge about the tectonic background of moderate and small earthquake activity in Eastern China.展开更多

The literary value of picture bride stories is an important starting point for raising awareness of the reality of Korean migration to the US a century ago and for understanding the status of the 20th-century Korean diaspora beyond national borders and cultural boundaries. This study aimed to investigate the historical background of picture brides in Hawaii in the early 20th century so as to research that the life of Korean picture brides was much harder than those of other Asian picture brides. The stories of picture brides, gleaned from various oral narratives, news articles, poems, plays, and novels, not only represent in great detail the patriarchal and nationalistic discourse prevalent in the period in the US on Korean and Asian picture brides, but also provide important details on these women＇s daily living, independent efforts to make new lives in Hawaii, and the transboundary hybrid culture that emerged as a result. The comparative-literary approach of the study also captures the value of the transnationalist thread in the literary works under study.展开更多

It should be considered on two important points about the history of modernization of Republican Turkey. The first of these is mentalities and ideological attitudes of modernizing elites. The emphasis to be made is to actually point to an opposition： Republican bureaucracy, in other words, the Kemalist elites, believed that progress in the sense understood by the French revolutionaries, positivist ideas, and secular point of view, on the other hand refused to tradition, namely Ottoman-lslamic past/background. Secondly, the Kemalist bureaucracy followed a specific application of the statist economic strategy. The state on the one hand has made investments using its own resources on heavy industry, established monopoly on certain products, on the other hand has followed liberal policies in order to create a national bourgeoisie. In addition, it cannot resolve/transform land ownership regime in favor of landless peasants. The turning point in the economic development of Korea was the military government of Park Chong Hee. The main policy during the 20 years of government was self-sufficient national economy. A presidential central industrial planning board （EPC） was responsible for the planning of all new investment areas and provided policy coordination among related ministries. Government could control the allocation of all financial resources through nationalized commercial banks. Economic planning by government included resource allocation, setting export targets for big family holdings, selective support of strategic industries, and successful private companies. So, government played an important role in the accumulation of capital in the hands of selected loyal new bourgeoisie class, big family holdings （chaebols）, which helped the succession of national development projects. The government used nationalism and moderated Confucius values as a means of creating developmental spirit. Anti-industrial teachings in Confucianism has been changed by Western values to form a new development-oriented work ethics, but core teachings like paternalism, hierarchical order in groups, emphasis on education, harmony, collectivism were strengthened by national education. Government policies and modified cultural elements caused an able and willing labor force and committed nation for overcoming poverty, strengthening Korea＇s economic position in the region.展开更多
