Xi’an is famous for its terracotta warriors but still faces significant challenges in air pollution. Synopsis: Every first Friday of the month, The Straits Times catches up with its foreign correspondents about life and trends in the countries they're based in. In six of the 10 years between 2014 and 2023, Xi’an had the poorest air quality among China’s new top-tier cities, which are the most commercially attractive cities after Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. In 2023, the city ranked fifth from the bottom out of 168 key cities in China, having recorded harmful PM2.5 levels of 48 ug/m3 on average that year, much higher than the healthy limit of 5 ug/m3 recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO). While there are improvements in air quality over the years - thanks to measures taken by the government, there is still a long way to go. The local residents, while they do not disregard the pollution, are more concerned with their financial situation. In this episode, ST’s foreign editor Li Xueying speaks with ST correspondent Ang Qing - who shares her experiences being in Xi'an for three months, a city known for its terracotta warriors and its air pollution challenges. They also talk about the role of civic engagement and environmental activism in China, highlighting the efforts of young activists and their challenges advocating for change.

Greg Jenner is joined in ancient Mesopotamia by Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid and comedian Phil Wang to learn about the history of cuneiform, the oldest writing system in the world.In the 19th Century, European scholars began to translate inscriptions found on ruins and clay tablets from ancient Mesopotamia - an area of the world between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers that encompasses modern Iraq, as well as parts of Syria, Iran, Turkey and Kuwait. The script they deciphered became known as cuneiform, and this distinctive wedge-shaped writing system is perhaps the oldest in the world. The earliest cuneiform tablet is in fact over 5,000 years old.These clay tablets reveal much about the daily life of people in this part of the ancient world, recording everything from the amounts of beer sold by brewers and the best way to ask the gods for advice, to squabbles between husbands and wives and even the lullabies used to get babies to sleep. The first recorded epic poem, The Epic of Gilgamesh, is also preserved thanks to cuneiform. This episode traces the history of cuneiform, exploring how this script worked, who used it and what they used it for, what it tells us about the inhabitants of ancient Mesopotamia, and how it was finally deciphered.If you're a fan of historical puzzles, amazing archaeological finds and the intimate details of everyday life in the ancient world, you'll love our episode on cuneiform.If you want more from Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid, check out our episode on Ancient Babylon. And for more ancient history with Phil Wang, listen to our episodes on the history of Kung Fu and the Terracotta Warriors. You're Dead To Me is the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Every episode, Greg Jenner brings together the best names in history and comedy to learn and laugh about the past.

主播：Anne（中国）+Selah（美国）歌曲：Go Again有段时间网上特别流行把秦始皇（Emperor Qin Shi Huang orEmperor Qin）叫做“我迷人的老祖宗”（my charming ancestor），那么国外的课本是怎么介绍秦始皇的呢？西方人对秦始皇有怎样的印象？西方人如何评价秦始皇当时的一些治国政策呢？·charming/ˈtʃɑːrmɪŋ/ adj.令人着迷的，迷人的·ancestor/ˈænsestər/ n.祖先；祖宗01. 美国教科书是怎么介绍秦始皇的？主播Selah提到，关于秦始皇，美国的教科书里有几条central things（主要内容）：一是介绍了the warring states period（战国时期），the states were at war with each other（诸国交战）；还讲了the developments in the Qin Dynasty（秦朝时的发展）；最后强调一个史实，秦始皇是the first emperor to unify the country under one reign（历史上第一个统一全中国的皇帝）。·reign/reɪn/ n. 君主统治时期；任期总的来说，美国教科书肯定了秦始皇的成就（he'srecognized for his achievements）,不过也注意到了他统一国家过程中用的比较严苛的一些手段（the harsh ways of unifying the country）。Besides textbooks，大多数西方人对秦始皇印象最深的是he built the Great Wall (长城) and Terracotta Warriors (兵马俑)。·harsh /hɑːrʃ/ adj. 严厉的·terracotta /ˌterəˈkɑːtə/ n.赤陶；赤褐色02. 西方人是怎么评价秦始皇的治国政策的？以西方人的思维模式，他们是如何评价秦始皇时期的一些治国政策的呢？How the EmperorQin Shi Huang ruled the empire?Selah说秦始皇治国有three aspects（三个方面）对西方人来说是very fascinating（特别神奇的），我们来看看具体是哪些方面吧！（1） The Emperor Qin created a system ofstandardization 秦始皇建立了标准化系统Standardization (标准化) is the process of setting the same standard to everything (把一切都设立一个统一的标准).比如我们都知道“车同轨，书同文”。In just 15 years, the Qin government standardized weights and measures (度量衡), coinage (货币), written script (文字) and many others. ·standardize /ˈstændərdaɪz/ v.标准化；使符合标准（或规格）这些措施在那个时代大大提高了管理国家的效率，同种类的货币让贸易（trade）更便捷，文字的统一也让秦始皇的命令能够更好地上传下达（his orders could be understood by everyone）。西方人大多都attach great importance to standardization（非常重视标准化），他们看重order and process（秩序和流程），这也跟他们在文化上重视highproductivity（高生产力）以及high efficiency（高效率）是分不开的。·productivity /ˌprɑːdʌkˈtɪvəti/ n. 生产率西方从第一次工业革命（the First Industrial Revolution）开始，systems of standardization were put in place（系统化和标准化的思维就非常深入人心）。对于西方人来说，秦朝是一个建立良好且有效的系统（good systems were put in place）的时期。（2） The Emperor Qinbuilt acentralized country 秦始皇建立了大一统的国家秦始皇在中国历史上第一次创建了一个centralized government system（统一的中央集权制度）。He was able to make public projects (公共项目) more effective, such asthe building of the Great Wall (长城的修建). ·centralized/ˈsentrəlaɪzd/ adj. 集中的；中央集权的大多数西方人都知道长城，除了长城，其实在秦朝时就已经有高速公路（highways）了。They built highways called秦直道and it was used for nearly 2000 years (有两千多年的历史).秦直道的建造质量（the construction quality）在现在看来都是非常高的，当时甚至还有运输货物的铁路，是靠马在两边跑来拉动轨道上的“火车”（railways powered by horses）。·construction/kənˈstrʌkʃn/ n. 建设；建造这令Selah也感到impressive（印象深刻），还有外国网友认为正是the bureaucratic（官僚制度）的efficiency（高效），让大秦得以expand anddevelop（扩张发展），并且实现人口的增长（thegrowth in population）。·bureaucratic /ˌbjʊrəˈkrætɪk/ adj. 官僚的；官僚主义的所以在很多西方人的眼里，评价秦始皇很重要的一点就是他把曾经充满战乱与分割的国家（divided and chaotic country of warring states），变成了一个中央集权的大一统国家（a centralized country）。·chaotic /keɪˈɑːtɪk/ adj. 混乱的（3） The Emperor Qin introduced legalization 秦始皇引入了“法制化”秦始皇created a law code（建立了一套律法），也就是当时的秦律。虽然当时的法律可能有些严苛（overly harsh），在现代人看来有很多漏洞，但是这种governing the country with laws（用法律治国安邦的思想）的确是秦始皇开了先河（he paved the way）。It wasthe start of legalization!·legalization /ˌliːɡələˈzeɪʃn/ n.合法化·pave the way为……铺平道路西方人认为order and laws（秩序和法律）对于governing a modern society（现代社会的治理）非常helpful。的确，如何以法治国（how to use law and order to govern a society）对于每个国家来说都非常重要,非常值得去研究。Selah提到，连美国国父（American's founding fathers）都要参考秦朝或者中国类似的古代王朝的法规，可见秦始皇在西方世界的影响力。而且，在时代周刊（TIME magazine）评选的前25名（top 25）最有影响力的政治人物（most influential political icons）中，秦始皇就榜上有名（hewas on this list）。请留言告诉我们：你怎么看外国人对秦始皇的认识？你还想了解哪位中国古代人物在西方人眼中的印象？
So-called 'Havana Syndrome' is mysterious illness reported by US officials in their Embassy in Cuba, and others around the world. Fresh developments have cast fresh doubt on the cause, as the mystery deepens. Dan Vergano, Senior Opinion Editor at Scientific American, has been following the story since day dot. Also, the mystery of the Terracotta Warriors, a 6 foot tall eel, and the boys at The Cryptid Factor have just released exclusive new footage from the shores of Loch Ness. You can get in touch with Dan Schreiber on Twitter and Instagram (@Schreiberland). In his bio, you'll find the link to our Discord channel - a global community of likeminded weirdos!
In 1974, some farmers began digging a well. Before they struck water, they stumbled upon an amazing archaeological and artistic treasure, the terracotta army. Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, wanted an army to protect him in the afterlife. Artists constructed an estimated 8,000 life-size terracotta statutes of soldiers, 400 horses, 100 chariots and about 100,000 weapons. but what good is an army to protect you if you are bored for eternity, so the burial complex also includes musicians and acrobats to entertain Qin Shi Huang.

Travel demand, especially a preference for high-speed rail journeys, saw a strong upsurge during the just-completed combined Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday, with bullet trains attracting some foreign celebrities to experience the concept of“China speed”.在刚刚结束的中秋国庆双节期间，出游需求尤其是高铁出游的需求显著增加，其中子弹头列车，即高速列车，吸引了不少外国名人前来体验“中国速度”。This year's eight-day holiday from Sept 29 saw the Mid-Autumn Festival combined with the National Day holiday.今年的中秋节和国庆节假期合并，自9月29日起，共八天。Online travel agency Lvmama said that railway ticket bookings on its platform for the combined holiday soared 67 percent from the same period of 2022. On Thursday — the penultimate day of the eight-day break — Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev was seen taking a high-speed train from Beijing to Shanghai after he finished as runner-up at the China Open men's singles final in Beijing on Wednesday.网上旅行机构驴妈妈旅游网的数据显示，该平台的双节期间的铁路车票预定数量比2022年同时期增长了67%。10月5日是八天假期的倒数第二天，俄罗斯网球运动员丹尼尔·梅德韦杰夫搭乘了北京开往上海的高铁。此前一日，他刚刚于北京获得了中国网球公开赛男单亚军。“Flight tickets were overpriced during the holiday, so bullet trains were apparently a more affordable choice. Usually, we need to rush to the airport for the check-in and security check at least 90 minutes before departure but we can just arrive at the railway station like five or 10 minutes before the train sets off,” said Li Qijia, a 29-year-old from Beijing who went on a four-day trip with her husband to Anji, Zhejiang province, during the holiday.Li Qijia来自北京，今年29岁，双节期间同丈夫在浙江省安吉县旅居了四天。她说，“假期的飞机票太贵了，高铁票的价格显然更友好。通常，我们需要在飞机起飞前至少90分钟达到机场，办理登记手续、过安检，现在我们只要在高铁开动前5到10分钟到达火车站就好。”As the holiday drew to a close on Friday, the railway network experienced a peak in return trips. The latest figures from China Railway Group showed that over 16 million passengers boarded high-speed trains per day since the holiday began, while some 18.8 million holidaymakers are expected to have traveled by bullet train on Friday, the last day of the extended dual holiday.10月6日，假期临近尾声，铁路系统迎来了返程高峰。中国铁路集团的最新数据显示，自双节假期起，每日高铁乘坐人数超过1600万，假期最后一天单日预计乘坐人数接近1880万。Travel volume also hit a new high during the holiday. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism released a report on Friday saying that domestic attractions received around 826 million visits over the break, from Sept 29 to Friday, up 71.3 percent year-on-year. The number marks a growth of 4.1 percent from that in 2019 — just prior to the pandemic.假期的游客总量也达到了新高。文旅部于6日发布的报告显示，国内景点在9月29日至10月6日双节期间共接待游客8亿2600万人次左右，同比增长71.3%，比疫情前的2019年增长了4.1%。Tourism-related revenue registered remarkable growth, reaching around 753.4 billion yuan ($103 billion) in eight days, a year-on-year rise of 129.5 percent and a growth of 1.5 percent from that in 2019, the report said.报道称，旅游相关收入在8天内显著增长，达到了约7534亿元人民币（约合1030亿美元），同比增长129.5％，比2019年增长1.5％。Travel agencies and industry insiders said that the tourism market saw a good recovery over the holiday and people tended to make more reasonable plans for their days off. Also, long-distance destinations were top choices for travelers during the eight-day break.旅行社和业内人士表示，在假期期间，旅游市场出现了良好的复苏，人们更倾向于制定更合理的休息计划。此外，远距离目的地成为八天假期旅客的首选。Domestically, destinations including Chengdu, Sichuan province; Changsha, Hunan province; and Xi'an, Shaanxi province, were particularly favored by travelers for their delicious cuisine and iconic attractions, such as the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an and pandas in Chengdu, according to travel portal Qunar.根据旅游门户网站去哪儿网的数据，国内目的地四川成都、湖南长沙和陕西西安因其美食和标志性景点而受到旅客青睐，如西安的兵马俑和成都的大熊猫。Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, was also in the spotlight thanks to the ongoing 19th Asian Games. Online travel service provider Fliggy said hotel bookings in Hangzhou and five other host cities in Zhejiang — Ningbo, Jinhua, Huzhou, Wenzhou and Shaoxing — rose by over 60 percent during the holiday compared with the same period in 2019.浙江杭州也因正在举办的第19届亚洲运动会而备受关注。在线旅游服务提供商飞猪表示，在杭州和浙江的其他五个主办城市，宁波、金华、湖州、温州和绍兴，假期期间的酒店预订与2019年同期相比增长了超过60％。Outbound tourism also performed well during the holiday. Travel portal Tuniu said Hong Kong and Macao remained popular on its platform during the holiday and Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor attracted over 430,000 people to watch a fireworks show on Sunday.境外旅游在假期期间也十分火爆。旅游门户网站途牛表示，香港和澳门仍然是该平台上的热门旅游目的地。10月1日当天，香港的维多利亚港吸引了超过43万人观看烟花秀。According to Tuniu, Thailand, the Maldives and Singapore were top choices on its platform over the holiday while the United Arab Emirates, Serbia and Turkiye grew strongly as well among Chinese travelers.据途牛的数据显示，泰国、马尔代夫和新加坡是该平台上的热门选择。前往阿联酋、塞尔维亚和土耳其中国游客数量也大幅上涨。Xiao Peng, an analyst at Qunar, said: “The tourism industry needs time to recover after experiencing impacts from the pandemic over the past three years. But people have released their pent-up travel passion so tourism sector workers should resume services and improve them at the same time. We are happy to see that all these figures show the tourism market is getting back on track.”去哪儿网分析师Xiao Peng表示：“旅游业需要时间从过去三年的疫情影响中恢复过来。人们已经释放了他们内心的旅行激情，所以旅游行业工作者应当恢复并改进服务。所有这些数据都显示旅游市场正在重回正轨，对此我们很高兴。”China Railway Groupn.中国铁路集团Bullet trainn.子弹头列车（高速列车）
President Xi Jinping said on Thursday that China will better utilize Beijing's advantages as an ancient capital and national cultural center to strengthen cultural exchanges with people from all over the world and enhance mutual learning among different civilizations.Xi made the remark in a congratulatory letter sent to the 2023 Beijing Culture Forum, which opened in the capital on Thursday. Themed "Inherit cultural legacies, promote exchanges and cooperation", the two-day event is jointly hosted by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee and the Beijing municipal government.Xi said the Chinese nation has a time-honored, fine traditional culture featuring openness and inclusiveness, noting that the Chinese civilization has always valued mutual understanding and respect among different civilizations.Beijing, with its long history and continuous cultural heritage, serves as a powerful testament to the continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness and peacefulness of Chinese civilization, he said.China will take better advantage of Beijing's strengths to promote exchanges with the rest of the world, in an effort to promote cultural prosperity and development, protect cultural heritage, and implement the Global Civilization Initiative, injecting profound and enduring cultural strength into the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, Xi said.Cai Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and a member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, said that people should take guidance from Xi's congratulatory letter to build the modern Chinese civilization at a higher level and carry out wide-ranging exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations.Cai expressed the hope that the forum will produce fruitful results and have a bigger presence.More than 600 officials and notable cultural figures from home and abroad are expected to gather at the forum, giving over 50 speeches and taking part in roundtable dialogues. An evening gala was held at the Big Air Shougang — a landmark of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics — on Thursday. Several industry reports would also be released and international cultural cooperation projects signed."By inviting key actors from within the cultural world and beyond, I'm convinced that this forum will bring new shared knowledge, strengthen partnerships, and renew our commitment to invest in culture," said Tamara Rastovac Siamashvili, chairperson of the executive board of UNESCO.Egyptian Minister of Culture Nevien El Kilany said that she views taking part in this forum as a continuation and strengthening of her country's friendship with China.She said cultural relations serve as an important bond between China and Egypt. The countries, two of the oldest civilizations in human history, both advocate a culture of equality and mutual benefit, and respect cultures of other countries, she added.Egypt is the first country in Africa and the Middle East to offer Chinese language courses in universities. Ain Shams University in Cairo established a Chinese language department in 1958. Similarly, Cairo is also home to the region's first Chinese cultural center, which was built by China in 2002, she said.Christos Dimas, Greek deputy minister of culture, said cooperation between Greece and China has made important contributions to the development of world civilizations.Greece and China have signed a series of memoranda of understanding and cooperation in the cultural field.They have carried out a wide range of exchanges centered on their rich and glorious ancient cultural heritage, modern and contemporary literature, poetry, books, drama, and other creative fields, through exhibitions, performances and academic seminars, he said.For example, in 2017, an exhibition on the art and culture of ancient Greece featuring more than 500 artifacts was held at the National Museum of China. In the same year, a number of exhibitions featuring China's art and culture, including the Terracotta Warriors, were held at the Acropolis Museum in Athens.During the opening ceremony of the 2023 Beijing Culture Forum, a list of 10 major events held in 2022 to build Beijing into a national cultural center was released. The events included the opening and closing ceremonies of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics and the completion of the headquarters of the China National Archives of Publications and Culture.Following the opening ceremony, Chinese and overseas cultural officials and influential figures shared their insights and experience in fields such as urban development, culture and tourism development, literature and gala directing.Feng Yuanzheng, president of the Beijing People's Art Theatre, said that Xi's congratulatory letter has clearly pointed out future directions for Beijing to lead the inheritance and development of Chinese culture, and spread awareness about the city's temperament and culture.The forum is a great opportunity to gather experts and insiders from multiple sectors of the industry to discuss further improvement and innovation of cultural works, he added.Maitri Sharma, an Indian participant who has been living in China for almost 11 years, said that platforms like the forum bring together people from all walks of life and various cultural backgrounds."What matters is that we all come together and share the same platform, and we are working for the shared humanity," she said. "I feel that we are going on the right track and this is how we will come together and the world will be united."Civilization英/ˌsɪvəlaɪˈzeɪʃn/美/ˌsɪvələˈzeɪʃn/n.文明Exchange英/ɪksˈtʃeɪndʒ/ 美/ɪksˈtʃeɪndʒ/n.交流，互访
On Valentine's Day of 1961, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York had to, for the very first time, announce they were housing a fake. Three fakes, actually. After nearly three decades as a prized exhibit, their Etruscan Terracotta Warriors, as they'd become known, were determined to be inauthentic -- but here's the story of how and why The Met should have know that fact before they ever put them on display.

China is witnessing a travel boom during this year's five-day May Day holiday, the first such holiday since the country optimized its COVID-19 response measures. Domestic travel bookings for the holiday, which starts on April 29 this year, have surged more than 700 percent from last year, the latest data from online travel agency Trip.com Group shows.今年五一假期是中国优化新冠疫情防控措施后的第一个假期，中国正在经历一场旅游热潮。据在线旅游机构携程旅行网最新数据显示，今年五一假期，国内旅游预订量同比增长超过700%。Below are seven Chinese cities that are among the top holiday travel choices for tourists. Apart from first-tier cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, smaller ones like Zibo of Shandong province are gaining prominence due to their various attractions.以下7个城市是游客最喜欢的热门旅游目的地。除了北京、上海等一线城市外，山东淄博等规模较小的城市也因其各具魅力而名列前茅。Beijing北京As a historic and cultural city, the Chinese capital is undoubtedly one of the most popular destinations. This year, Beijing recommends 16 tourism routes highlighting the city's ancient relics, royal gardens, parks, museums and venues for the Olympic Games and Winter Olympics. The Great Wall, the Palace Museum, the Summer Palace and the National Stadium, also known as Bird's Nest, are covered by the routes.Nearly 300 plays and 1,170 performances will be put on during the holiday, including symphonies and dance dramas, providing a cultural feast for audiences to enjoy in the country's cultural center.作为一座历史文化名城，中国首都无疑是最受欢迎的旅游目的地之一。今年，北京推荐了16条旅游线路，重点介绍了北京的古迹、皇家园林、公园、博物馆和奥运会及冬奥会场馆。长城、故宫博物院、颐和园和国家体育场，也包含在这些路线中。五一期间，北京上演近300部戏剧和1170场演出，包括交响乐和舞蹈剧，让人们在这个文化中心享受美妙的文化体验。Shanghai上海Boasting the Bund, the Oriental Pearl Tower and Shanghai Disney Resort, Shanghai is listed among the top 10 destinations by multiple online travel platforms.As an emerging means of travel following COVID-19, more and more tourists prefer a city walk, enjoying the historic buildings and street views along various interesting roads, such as Wukang Road and Anfu Road.Located in the core area of the Yangtze River Delta, Shanghai has also witnessed a growth in regional tours radiating out from the city. Train tickets from Shanghai to nearby tourist cities such as Suzhou, which is famous for its traditional gardens, and Hangzhou, where West Lake is located, have almost sold out.上海因其拥有外滩、东方明珠塔和上海迪士尼度假区等著名景点，被多个在线旅游平台列为目的地前十名之一。在新冠疫情之后，越来越多的游客更喜欢步行游览城市，欣赏沿途历史建筑和街景，如武康路和安福路。作为长江三角洲核心地带，上海还见证了从城市辐射出去的区域旅游的增长。从上海到周边旅游城市（如以传统园林闻名的苏州和西湖所在地杭州）的火车票几乎已售罄。Xi'an西安Xi'an, a city with over 3,100 years of history, is home to the Terracotta Warriors, Weiyang Palace and the ancient city wall of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).After visiting the cultural ruins in the daytime, tourists can dress in traditional Chinese costumes to immerse themselves in the historic city in the evening, strolling through ancient buildings, having a taste of local snacks and watching the acrobatics and lion-dance shows in the street imitating the ancient street scenes of the Tang Dynasty (618-907).西安是一座拥有3100多年历史的城市，有兵马俑、未央宫和明代（1368-1644）古城墙等著名景点。白天游览文化遗址后，可以穿上中国传统服饰，傍晚沉浸在历史名城中，漫步古建筑，品尝当地小吃，在街道上观看模仿唐代（618-907）古街景的杂技和舞狮表演。Guangzhou广州The southern city of Guangzhou attracts tourists with its landmark Guangzhou Tower, old and famous Cantonese restaurants, street night markets and night-cruise tours along the Zhujiang River.The Guangzhou Chimelong Tourist Resort is a must-see destination for families with children. Not only can visitors find some 20,000 precious wild animals, including the giant panda triplets, in the safari park, but they can also watch an international circus attended by more than 300 performers from more than 20 countries. A fair featuring Chinese traditional costumes and an electric music night party are also held in the resort during the holiday.南方城市广州以其地标性的广州塔、古老而著名的粤菜餐厅、街头夜市和珠江夜游吸引着游客。对于带孩子的家庭来说，广州长隆旅游度假区是一个必去的目的地。游客不仅可以在野生动物园里看到2万多只珍贵的野生动物，包括大熊猫三胞胎，还可以观看来自20多个国家的300多名表演者参加的国际马戏团。五一期间，度假村还将举办中国传统服装博览会和电子音乐晚会。Chongqing重庆Known as a "mountain city," Chongqing in Southwest China attracts people with its beautiful scenery, such as uneven roads and architecture built on hills and along the Yangtze River.Among the famous destinations are two UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Wulong Karst Scenic Area and the Dazu Rock Carvings. The former is famous for its giant sinkholes, natural bridges and caves, while the latter features an exceptional series of rock carvings dating from the 9th to the 13th century.In the city proper, the ancient town of Ciqikou, dating back some 1,000 years to the Song Dynasty, the temple fair and night tours allow tourists to enjoy the culture in the "mountain city."重庆素有“山城”之称，以崎岖不平的山路、长江沿岸的建筑风光吸引着人们。在著名的旅游景点中有两处联合国教科文组织评选的世界遗产：五龙喀斯特风景区和大足石刻。前者以其巨大的天坑、天然桥梁和洞穴而闻名，后者则以9世纪至13世纪的一系列不同寻常的石刻为特色。在市区内，具有1000多年历史的宋代古镇磁器口、寺庙庙会和夜游让游客充分感受这座“山城”的文化。Sanya三亚Nicknamed "Oriental Hawaii," Sanya, in the island province of Hainan, has long been on the list of hot destinations for tourists in China.In the past, the site mainly relied on its sea views to attract visitors, but nowadays, it offers a variety of tourism programs, as Sanya increasingly looks to refine its tourism sector. Tourists can ride a motorboat on the blue sea, sip coffee while reading in a seaside bookstore, enjoy a candlelight dinner and simply unwind with some self-brewed tea on the beach under the starry night sky.绰号为“东方夏威夷”的三亚，位于海南省，长期以来是中国游客的热门目的地。过去，这里主要依靠海景吸引游客，但现在，随着三亚越来越致力于发展旅游业，提供的旅游项目也越来越丰富。游客可以在碧海上骑摩托艇，在海边书店里读书品尝咖啡，享用烛光晚餐，在星空下的沙滩上煮茶放松心情。Zibo淄博Zibo, in east China's Shandong province, has become a new choice for travelers due to its iconic barbecues.The city shot to national fame earlier this year after social media influencers hyped up the unique local barbecue -- grilled meat wrapped in pancakes with shallots. Initially popular among college students due to its unique taste, DIY style and affordability, the dish has now attracted swarms of tourists to the city.While sparing no efforts to rein in hotel price hikes and implement tourist-friendly policies to cater to the holiday fervor, the city's authorities issued a letter noting that the influx of tourists has exceeded the reception capacity and asked tourists to travel off-peak or consider other cities in Shandong.位于中国山东省东部的淄博，因为烧烤而成为游客的新选择。今年早些时候，这个城市在社交媒体上广泛宣传当地独特的烤肉——将烤肉配上葱，裹在薄煎饼里。这道菜最初因其独特的口味、DIY风格和价格低廉而深受大学生欢迎，现在吸引了成群游客来到这个城市旅游。为了更好的旅游体验，淄博市政府不遗余力地抑制酒店涨价。同时他们还发出了一封信，指出游客的涌入已经超过了接待能力，建议游客在旅游淡季旅游或考虑前往山东省的其他城市。In addition to the above-listed cities, tourists also flock to Chengdu to watch giant pandas, to Xiamen to hear the sea breeze lying on the beach at Gulangyu Islet, and to Changsha to taste the yummy snacks at the night fair.Some netizens said they would like to travel to any destination for which they can secure a plane or train ticket.Railway trips in China hit a record high of 19.66 million passenger trips on Saturday, the first day of the holiday. About 120 million domestic trips are expected to be made by Chinese railway passengers from April 27 to May 4, an increase of 20 percent from the 2019 level. Meanwhile, the number of flight bookings for the holiday has already exceeded 6 million, generally equivalent to the level registered during the same holiday in 2019.The holiday travel spree in China shows that the tourism sector is recovering at full tilt in the post-epidemic era, and the world's second-largest economy is regaining its vitality.除上述城市外，游客还蜂拥到成都观赏大熊猫，到厦门听鼓浪屿的海风，到长沙品尝夜市的美味小吃。一些网民说，他们想去任何可以买到飞机或火车票的地方。4月29日，中国铁路客运量创历史新高，为1966万人次。从4月27日到5月4日，中国铁路客运量预计将达到1.2亿人次，比2019年增长20%。同时，假期航班预订量已超过600万，基本相当于2019年同一假期登记的水平。中国的假日旅游热表明，在后疫情时期，旅游业正在全面恢复，世界第二大经济体正在恢复活力。

Ask The Tech Coach: A Podcast For Instructional Technology Coaches and EdTech Specialists
In this episode of Ask the Tech Coach, Jeff discusses Augmented Reality with Parker McDonough from https://education.seekxr.com/ (Seek Education). If you are a new listener to TeacherCast, we would love to hear from you. Please visit our http://teachercast.net/contact (Contact Page) and let us know how we can help you today! In This Episode ...Topic 1 - Augmented reality for distance learningWith many schools not returning in-person this fall, teachers and parents are looking for innovative ways to educate kids.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/19/upshot/coronavirus-home-school-parents.html?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20200819&instance_id=21408&nl=the-morning®i_id=130597689§ion_index=3§ion_name=idea_of_the_day_how_to_improve_remote_learning&segment_id=36497&te=1&user_id=b28853524fe24b98d1f51b289c52e273 (A New York Times study) launched this week revealed just 1 in 7 parents said their children will not be returning to school full time this fall. One of the most powerful assets a student can have is a quality digital tool set and AR can play a significant role here. AR-based learning is changing the way students receive and retain information. By pairing AR models with the teaching curriculum, it can provide further detail and understanding for students. Many children are visual learners and a 3D model of the Solar System or a human DNA strand is far more interactive and engaging than a picture in a textbook or a slideshow on a screen. In fact, https://www.centreforbrainhealth.ca/news/2018/06/05/learning-doing-better-retention-learning-watching (research) https://www.centreforbrainhealth.ca/news/2018/06/05/learning-doing-better-retention-learning-watching (shows the benefits) of immersive technology, such as improved long-term memory retention. https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ahci/2019/7208494/ (Studies) have shown a 14% increase in motivation and 31% increase in attention in students when AR is used in learning. Topic 2 - Seek EducationSeek Education is a supplemental teaching resource designed to encourage interactive learning through AR. Subscribing to the platform provides access to 1,000+ models across six core subjects in today’s curriculum,including anatomy, art, biology, history and physical science. Teachers can easily add QR codes into teaching materials. Seek’s Seek Education platform is currently being utilized by 300 schools across the US as well as schools in a dozen other countries. What’s interesting is that this technology is already being used by major brands like Overstock and Nestle to bring their products to life for consumers, and is now being applied in an educational setting. While Augmented Reality is a key trend being adopted during the pandemic across several industries, it has been making an impact long before. Beyond the crisis, there have been major barriers to entry for teachers integrating immersive technologies into the classroom. Seek Education launched to enable AR content to be accessible by anyone on any device, no app required - making it a simple, cheap and effective educational tool. Prior to Seek, the vast majority of immersive learning tools required expensive hardware that quickly runs out of style, necessitating more costly upgrading. Seek Education is affordable enough for anybody in the world to access given it’s no commitment low monthly fees. Topic 3 - Virtual Field TripsThis week Seek Education launched a new Virtual Field Trips feature: pre-made templates which save parents/teachers time while allowing for seamless integration into any curriculum. Field trips can also take on an entirely new meaning as kids from around the world can now visit the Egyptian pyramids, the Lincoln Memorial, or walk through a field of the Terracotta Warriors. With AR, all you have to do is pull out your phone. On the other end of the spectrum, why not have a Magic School Bus experience and...

Broadcast on 11 June, 2019.
The first part of "The Han". At the time of Julius Caesar and the height of Rome, there was another empire across the world that rivaled it in every way. The Han Dynasty of China arose from the ashes of the brutal Qin Shi Huang Di (Great Wall and Terracotta Warriors guy, heard of them?) and conquered far and wide.

Many years ago, an exhibition of the famous Terracotta Warriors visited Auckland, New Zealand. Eager as always for these things I went with my wife to see them. While it was only a snippet of a small show I enjoyed it very much. But something happened on that day that I won't forget: While wandering past the many statues I was struck by a freezing cold shiver up my spin by the presence of one statue. I froze and stared back at the statue of a bearded general with a great sword at his side. Who was this general? While officially it is said that nobody knows, I had a profound vision that I knew: General Xiang-Fei of the Wu clan 烏翔肥. He lived the life worthy of a good hardworking man trying to get ahead but stuck in middle-management during the Qin Dynasty 秦朝. As a loyal general he did what he was told, yet he had a bit of a stubborn streak to him. And as such he always had the nasty job of commanding his troops into the waiting enemy army. Perhaps it seems he was destined to be forever fighting a losing a battle as it was always impossible to get some glorious action while hopelessly seeing his men being speared like marshmallows over a campfire. Eventually in life, 烏翔肥 became so disheartened with the way his career was going that he politely quit before he too ended up like his troops. He resigned his commission and ensuring that his wife and family were kept well-off, decided that his best way to improve his status and fortunes was travel the land in search of a true military sage that can show him how to avoid pointless frontal assaults. 烏翔肥 traveled far and wide, but found nobody. And his journeys were marred by news of his wife's infidelities. But he would not give up his quest. In fact, the only thing in the end blocking his path was a huge mountain range of white peaked tops. He paused to catch his breath and the spectacular view before making his way to a small village at the base of the mountain range. Upon arriving at the village 烏翔肥 was met by a messenger from home informing him that he and his wife were now divorced… (Things do happen in strange ways.) Furious at his misfortune, he tried to go straight through the mountain and only became the butt of the villagers jokes. He tried to go over the mountain but failed in that too. Upset and angry of being unable to move the mountains out of his way, he settled down in the village and took a local maiden to be his new woman. Funnily enough, the interesting thing about him was that when travelers came to the village and asked what was the best to get to the other side of the mountains, he would tell them to follow the road that goes around them. It was only after his simpleton wife pointed out during one of their arguments what he was doing, did it finally dawn on him that he had his long searched-for answer. And there was now a new dynasty around: The Han Dynasty 漢朝. Unable to return to court, politics being what it is, He decided to write down his profound insights in a book called "Circling the White Mountain".

Are ancient pyramids really massive power plants? How did cultures thousands of miles apart build such similar shapes with supposedly no contact? Is the Chinese government hiding dozens of ancient pyramids holding the Terracotta Warriors and other unknown treasures? Why is Khufu’s body nowhere to be found in the pyramid that shares his name? What is the true purpose of ancient pyramids, and what secrets do they hold? Well our plucky Ancient Astronaut Theorists sure have a lot of thoughts on these pointy little bastards and they use this episode to explain how pyramids could time travel, create radiation shields, send you off to our alien overlords, and how some mountains are actually man made pyramids with trees and stuff hiding their real purpose! Do they have facts to back it up?! ...Not really! But Steve and Joey sure have a great time poking...and probing...holes in their logic and the lack thereof. Let’s PROOOOOOOOOOBE into these polygonal paradises we call…pyramids.

This is Special English. I'm Ryan Price in Beijing. Here is the news. China has experienced an increase in cases of online data leaks in the past few years due to the development of the "cyber black market". That&`&s according to a report by the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences&`& Institute of Information. The report is entitled "The Annual Report on Development of Cyberspace Security in China". It says cases relating to information leaks have become more frequent since last year, including the high-profile case involving Gfan, China&`&s largest online platform for Android systems. In the case, data of the platform&`&s more than 23 million users, including their names, passwords and email addresses, were made public on the internet. An estimated 560,000 people were engaged in the industry in the first six months of this year. From June last year to June this year, economic losses resulting from text message spam, online scams and information leaks totaled 91 billion yuan, roughly 13 billion U.S. dollars. Such losses were attributed to the cyber black market, a commercial chain where participants including hackers and network operators gain profits illegally. The industry is a growing multi-billion-US dollar economy. Experts say the most effective way of addressing the problem is to pass legislation on protecting information and clarify governmental departments&`& obligation on law enforcement and supervision. This is Special English.Northeast China has seen a population loss of more than 1 million people in the last ten years. Among them, many are high income earners and well-educated who are seeking better jobs and lifestyles outside the region.The National Development and Reform Commission released the information to counter earlier reports that northeast China was losing a population of one million people each year. Northeast China refers to the three provinces of Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang. It had long been one of China&`&s industrial heartlands. But in recent decades, northeast China is seeing a slower economic growth, which is a major concern of the regional governments. Wage levels for college graduates are similarly uncompetitive due to a relatively poor economy. The average salary levels in the region are one of the lowest in the country. The National Development and Reform Commission says many talents in the region have turned to companies elsewhere in China which offer better terms and conditions of employment.But some commentators suggested that it is not all about money; and the system has long applied restrains to the development of individuals. A low birth rate has also in contributed to the downward trend in the population growth in northeast China. You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Ryan Price in Beijing. Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei said he heard mysterious knocks during his trip in space.Yang recalled his experience in space during a recent interview with China Central Television. He said the unusual situation he was met with in space were non-causal knocks that appeared from time to time during his travel in the spaceship more than ten years ago.He explained the noise often suddenly appeared without any rhyme or reason. "It neither came from outside nor inside the spaceship, but it sounded like someone was knocking on the spaceship, as if someone was using a wooden hammer to hit an iron bucket." Those were Yang&`&s words when he was talking about how he was nervous at first, and how he moved close to the porthole to try to find out what the noise was. However, nothing out of the ordinary appeared on both the inside and outside of the spaceship.After returning to earth, he told technicians about the noise, and tried to imitate it with some instruments so as to solve the mystery. But upon reflection, Yang has said he has never heard the exact noise again.But the same noise was heard by astronauts onboard other spaceships including the Shenzhou 6 and Shenzhou 7 space crafts. In October 2003, Yang returned to earth in his re-entry module after a 21-hour trip in space. After his trip, Yang became the world&`&s 241st human being to visit outer space.This is Special English.Public facilities across Beijing will soon have their own QR codes so that the public can access the "identity information" and interact with the city management.From things like dustbins to street signs and even bus stop boards, all facilities in Beijing will have their own QR code displayed on them before 2018.Currently, 50 streets including Beijing&`&s central thoroughfare, the Chang&`&an Avenue, have major public facilities with QR codes on them. When scanned, the code opens an information page on the smart device. The information tells people whom to contact to report any damage to public facilities or whoever is responsible for maintenance and repair.People can also use the social-networking app WeChat to report any issues to the management or search for the nearest metro stations or public restrooms.This is Special English.China&`&s top economic planner has approved a plan to build an intercity railway network linking Beijing and neighboring city Tianjin as well as Hebei province. The blueprint targets the year 2020 as its initial phase. The whole system consists of nine rail lines with a total length of 1,100 kilometers. The National Development and Reform Commission estimated the total investment to be 250 billion yuan. That&`&s roughly 36 billion U.S. dollars. The network is a major infrastructure project of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integrated development plan. Three major lines will connect Beijing, Tianjin and the capital of Hebei Province with high-speed trains traveling at up to 350 kilometers per hour. The commuting time between any pair of the three cities will be cut down to less than an hour. Last year, China passed the Outline of Collaborative Development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province. The outline proposed removing some of Beijing&`&s noncapital functions to neighboring areas to control pollution and improve transport conditions. Experts say the new railway network will greatly boost real estate development in the area. The preparatory work of certain lines, including that from Beijing to Tangshan city, has already started.You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Ryan Price in Beijing.

Now the news continues.Plans are in the pipeline for an animated movie featuring the prehistoric Sanxingdui Ruins in southwest China&`&s Sichuan Province.The film, "The Golden Mask", tells the story of a golden mask found during the excavation of some mysterious ruins.The movie features fantasy, adventure and also time travel. It is said to be produced and screened on 3D and IMAX screens and will be released in 2019.With an investment of 20 million U.S. dollars, the movie has secured copyright certificates from China and the United States. The crew includes a director, an art designer and a composer from Hollywood.A spokesperson said in a recent news release that the movie aims to spread the mysterious culture that surrounds Sanxingdui Ruins.The ruins are located some 40 kilometers from Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan. They are believed to be remnants of the ancient Shu Kingdom that disappeared for unknown reasons some 3,000 years ago.Sprawling over an area of 12 square kilometers, the ruins are listed among China&`&s top 10 archaeological findings of the 20th century, and are seen as representing the origins of ancient Chinese civilization.This is Special English.Gripping tiny slices of sheer rock and hoisting himself up 3,000 feet with only his strength, Adam Ondra quietly inched his way up one of the world&`&s most challenging rock walls and into the record books.Ondra, a 23-year-old from the Czech Republic, took eight days to finish the free-climb up the Dawn Wall of the famed El Capitan in California&`&s Yosemite National Park.Ondra&`&s recent accomplishment was the second-ever free assent of the wall.Nearly two years ago, U.S. climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson were first to chart and conquer the route, a feat that took the pair 19 days.Jorgeson said it&`&s like being a proud parent, in a way, because he feels honored that Ondra was drawn to the challenge. He said that is the point: To raise the bar so someone else can do the same thing and stand on your shoulders.Unlike climbers who need more elaborate equipment, free-climbers use their strength and ability to grasp tiny cracks and lips in the granite rock with their fingertips and toes. They use ropes and harnesses only for safety to catch if they fall.Throughout the climb, Ondra took to social media to post about the cold, soaking rain and the pain from the granite wearing down the skin on his fingers. He also celebrated victories.He wrote on Instagram as he neared the top that it was hard to find the words to describe how he felt. One of his posts said that he had made it up the Wino Tower and had no more hard pitches to guard his way to the top. He said this made him feel that he could not ask for a better day.You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Ryan Price in Beijing. Stone helmets, armor and animal remains are among the latest archaeological finds at Emperor Qinshihuang&`&s mausoleum in Xi&`&an in northwest China.The items have been found in the celebrated site, which is home to China&`&s iconic Terracotta Warriors.During a recent excavation, archaeologists have found out about the mausoleum&`&s general structure, which was previously unknown. A large number of new pits have been discovered. Among them, more than 400 were located within the mausoleum and dozens of small tombs were found near the site.Experts believe the stone helmets and armor were not for wearing, but their real functions remained unknown. The finds also include several thousand pieces of animal remains and other animal-related objects, making it the largest number of animal-related discoveries ever found in a single site.One of the most commonly seen animals unearthed at the site were horses. Horse images can be found on pottery and copper wares. Other animals include some very rare bird species and beasts.This is Special English.A total of 160 items originally received by public servants as business gifts went up for auction recently in central China&`&s Hubei Province.The gift items were turned in by staff from almost 30 government organs, public institutions and state-owned enterprises in the past two years in Wuhan, the provincial capital.China does not allow public servants to receive gifts. Those who take business gifts must hand them in and register them within one month. The auction was seen by many as showing the local government&`&s determination to fight corruption.Jewelry, paintings, watches and electronic devices were among the items for the auction. The initial bidding price of all items totaled almost 600,000 yuan, roughly 86,000 U.S. dollars.Around 200 people showed up at the event and almost the auctions were successful.（全文见周日微信。）
Ryan and I talk Miles Simon, Lute Olson, duties NOT assigned and Tahiti. **Before we get to the episode, congratulations to Jenny Laisle, winner of our book giveaway - Great Teams: 16 Things High Performing Organizations Do Differently by Don Yaeger. Jenny was randomly drawn from all of you who left an iTunes rating/review! Thanks to all of you!** Bio: Ryan Hansen is a president/COO of Bon Voyage Travel, a radio basketball analyst for the University of Arizona, and was a member of the Arizona basketball staff which won the national title in 1997. Interview: So before we go any further why don't you take a few minutes and take our audience into your journey for a bit. Out of high school, realized pro athlete wasn't going to happen, but wanted to stay connected to sports Became a student manager for men's basketball Then Dir. Of Operations Then Associate AD Worked for Lute Olsen and then with Sean Miller Great training ground for learning to do things the right way Business mentor then gave Ryan the chance to manage a travel agency Looked at the group of people around him and asked who he would like to spend time with and become more like as he grows Friendship developed from talking Arizona hoops to business Find common ground; make personal connection; then grow understanding of each other Then he handpicked Ryan for the opportunity I want to ask you first about Arizona basketball in the mid/late 90s. Tell us about coach Lute Olsen and what you learned from him in terms of leadership? Best teacher Ryan has ever been around Going into a season in Nov/Dec; not a more prepared team than Arizona Stick to fundamentals; practice and drill them; don't forget them after you're into the season 40th day of practice still doing passing and ball handling drills Preaching these over and over Three big things Great preparation Surround yourself with great people Do the right thing the first time, because you'll have to do the right thing eventually! How about from the players on the championship team? Who were the leaders and how were they able to be effective? 1993-2011 is when Ryan was close to the program Three Final Fours and one national title The best leader of all was Miles Simon Wanted to win everything, and he did 3 on 3 drill in November Summer pickup game Scout team leader Rally people around you Inspire them to be better than they are Leadership styles (figurative not literal) Use fear to drive people to kill for you Inspire people who would die for you This was Miles Mike Bibby was the best player, not Miles Miles didn't lead the team in scoring (Michael Dickerson) Best NBA career? Jason Terry coming off the bench as a 6th man Arizona alumni doing great things Steve Kerr Andre Iguodala Luke Walton Harvey Mason Josh Pastner You now get to observe Coach Sean Miller fairly close up by virtue of your radio announcing. What stands out to you about how he operates and leads his team? Tough to take over a legendary coach Pressure on new coach to put his stamp on the program and make it his Coach Miller doesn't do that Respectful of the past Uses it to his advantage in recruiting Not afraid of it Embrace it – isn't that why you wanted to work with that organization to begin with?! Meticulous prior to any situation (practice; speech; halftime talk) Nothing off the cuff Prepares for every word Example – 2011 (5) Arizona v. (1) Duke in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 Arizona blows Duke out to go to Elite 8 On the way to the locker room; he stops and collects himself for about 30 seconds to prepare for the postgame speech We haven't arrived yet; there's a bigger purpose Celebrate this moment, but move ahead You can be prepared and be authentic at the same time What was the greatest challenge you faced when transitioning out of university/athletics life to the corporate world? When you're on campus working with student-athletes, there is an energy that comes from working with young people pursuing their dreams In the corporate world you have to create that People are sometimes there just to collect a check, not wanting to get better Range of people from entry level to near/at retirement Goals in athletics were pretty easy to come up with; not as easy in the corporate world Overseeing 50+ people changes things; responding to the daily demands/requests on your time Good advice – find time to work on the business rather than in the business 5 year plans Staffing/personnel Infrastructure Business relationships Open door policy not always the best way; you'll always be in the business rather than on it As leaders we all make mistakes. Can you recall a leadership mistake you have made, and what you learned from it? Bon Voyage Introduced new ways to do things to employees Didn't do it the best way Need to show your team why it will benefit them Not just the value to the company Still something he has to consciously think about when making changes What advice do you have for young professionals who are striving to be better leaders or maybe even trying to get that first opportunity to lead? Just attended a conference with some of the best travel agents in the country Speaker talked about the generations What is one piece of advice for a millennial on their first day of work? Be on time – shows the person you're meeting that you care Make yourself invaluable Started for him as camp counselor at Arizona Determined to be the best counselor; to go above and beyond Other duties NOT ASSIGNED; rather than other duties as assigned Can't be easily replaced; need three people to replace him Don't ask team to do things you aren't willing to do (clean break rooms; more chairs; document What habits have been key to your success? When he's home from work, the cell phone is off until the kids go to bed (between 6pm and 8 or 8:30pm Recharges batteries Have passions outside of work, and make commitment to them 6pm-8pm emails can wait and be resolved at 8pm, almost always Jim Rosborough quote: “If you make yourself completely accessible, you end up being inaccessible to the people that you care about.” Best travel destinations To unplug and getaway – Tahiti Hawaii of 50 years ago Oasis For history - China Great Wall Forbidden City Xi'an – Terracotta Warriors (spelling?)

One amazing exhibit is coming to Pacific Science Center in 2017.
Visit Xi'an China with the Amateur Traveler: This video shows the famous Terracotta Warriors. Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China, had this army of figures created for his tomb. Shortly after his death the peasants revolted and smashed all but one of the warriors into pieces. This is basically the worlds largest jigsaw puzzle.
