    Chinese Idioms (Cheng-yu) for Second-Language Learners: Toward a Pedogogical Approach

    No full text
    x, 56 p.This thesis considers the importance of cheng-yu (Chinese language-specific, idiomatic lexical-syntactic units) in second-language acquisition at the intermediate and advanced levels and examines current research in order to formulate an instructional approach. Informed by linguistic and pedagogical research on idioms generally, the study aims to apply research relevant to Chinese language idioms specifically. Main topics to be considered include: the importance of cheng-yu in higher-level discourse including the social significance of cheng-yu use; the patterned structure of cheng-yu; idiom teaching methods and a review of idiom content and presentation in commonly-used Chinese language textbooks; and the significance of corpus data in cheng-yu instruction. Results confirm the importance of cheng-yu in discourse and recommend practicable, research-based classroom strategies. Finally, a sample lesson is provided which encourages the use of corpus data and utilizes research findings on the structure of cheng-yu and on teaching practices thought to foster acquisition.Committee in charge: Dr. Zhuo Jing-Schmidt, Chairperson; Dr. Yugen Wang, Membe

    Full text link
    application/pdfIn 2020, the Chinese government approved the Chengdu-Chongqing (Cheng-Yu) dual-city economic circle. It aims to boost the economy of inner western areas and promote the development of Chengdu and Chongqing. Together with the Bohai Bay, Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta, the Cheng-Yu Economic Zone is set up as Chinaʼs fourth economic zone. There are voices in industries and others expecting the revitalization of the regional economy through the formation of Metropolitan areas, and it is necessary to pay attention to the ongoing structural reforms of inland cities in China. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the progress of urbanization by Chinaʼs urbanization policy.departmental bulletin pape

    Spatiotemporal Evolution and Optimization of Urbanization–Water Environment Coupling in the Cheng-Yu Region

    No full text
    With global urbanization on the rise, China has entered the mid-to-late urbanization stage, and the Cheng-Yu region, as a key economic zone and new urbanization model in China, has faced water environmental issues due to rapid urbanization, while systematic research on the synergy between its urbanization and water environment governance remains scarce. This study explores the spatiotemporal evolution of and optimization strategies for the coupling and coordinated development of urbanization and water environment governance in the Cheng-Yu region. A comprehensive evaluation index system was established to measure the Urbanization Development System (UDS) and Water Environment Governance System (WEGS), and a coupling coordination model was utilized to analyze the spatiotemporal relationships between the two systems from 2013 to 2021. The coupling coordination index of the two systems showed a steady upward trend from 2013 to 2021, evolving from a state of severe imbalance to high-level coordination. Initially, the UDS was relatively low, while the WEGS was higher but grew at a slower rate. After 2019, rapid urbanization caused the UDS to exceed the level of the WEGS, indicating growing environmental pressures. Moreover, there are persistent disparities among cities. Industrial cities like Chengdu, with a high UDS but low WEGS, urgently need to enhance water resource management. In contrast, cities such as Dazhou, which have a high WEGS but low UDS, should make full use of their water resources to drive sustainable urban development. For policymakers, this research provides practical guidelines, such as suggesting targeted investment in water treatment facilities in industrial cities like Chengdu and promoting water-based economic development in cities like Dazhou. It emphasizes the importance of balancing urbanization with environmental sustainability. The findings not only deepen the understanding of the dynamic interactions between urban development and water environment governance but also lay a solid foundation for optimizing future policies in the Cheng-Yu region and other similar areas

    Intergovernmental Cooperation in Cheng-Yu Economic Zone: A Case Study on Chinese Regional Collaboration under Synergy Governance

    Full text link
    Intergovernmental collaboration is a universal trend with regional integration. What the local governments, as the public sector, should do to effectively respond to this trend, to strengthen the regional cooperation, transform local governmental functions to improve administrative performance and propel the regional development, a series of such questions, have aroused widespread concern. Cheng-Yu economic zone in the southwest of China, playing an important role in the economic development of this region, is faced with increased demand for addressing regional public issues and promoting regional synergic development. However the intergovernmental cooperation in Cheng-Yu economic zone is complex with fruits accompanied by problems, which makes the study of corresponding countermeasures feasible and necessary.On the basis of synergy governance theory and other relevant theory on intergovernmental cooperation, the paper builds a theoretical framework to analyze regional intergovernmental collaboration. Then considering the current condition of collaboration between and among local governments in Cheng-Yu economic zone, the paper leads a case study, elaborating on the problems lying in the cooperation in this zone and the corresponding causes. Then with the internal and external environmental analyses, the paper designs a brief conception on propelling synergic development in this zone

    No full text
    This dataset is used for the paper "Thermally direct mesoscale circulations caused by land surface roughness anomalies". It consists of cloud resolving simulations over an idealized tropical land surface, where a land surface roughness heterogeneity is prescribed for different initial soil moisture conditions. Horizontal resolution: 250 m. Length of the simulations: 500 days. Roughness heterogeneities: rough\_1\_5, rough\_1\_10, rough\_1\_100, and rough\_1\_1000. rough\_1\_5 refers to the simulations where roughness lengths are 0.0387 m and 5*0.0387 m, respectively
