text: Iron ores have been worked at An-shan since the 10th century, but the modern discovery was by the Japanese in 1909. The South Manchurian Railway company began steel production there in 1919 and steadily expanded its capacity. An-shan contributed large quantities of iron and steel to the Japanese war effort between 1940 and 1945. Soviet Russia stripped the installations after World War II, but the Chinese Communists had restored them by 1952. Continuous expansion occurred after 1952 and by 1956 An-shan was China's primary iron and steel producer.

text: Some seventy miles to the west at a place called An-shan, General Chin Chʻang, the overall commander of Chinese forces in southern Manchuria, built up a force estimated at 50,000 while sending thousands more to fight as guerrillas along the railroad.

text: Equally remarkable are the bronzes found in the tombs of the state of Chung-shan at P'ing-shan, Hopei Province.²¹ Chung-shan was one of the smaller peripheral states that contended for survival with Chao, Ch'i, Ch'in, Ch'u, Han, Wei, and Yen, the powerful states that dominated events during the Warring States period.²² The Chung-shan people traditionally are said to have been descended from the nomadic Pai-ti tribes, who are believed to have made incursions into the area of northern Shensi and northwestern Shansi as early as the eighth century B.C.²³ By the sixth century B.C. when the Pai-ti had settled in Hopei Province, they were referred to as the Hsien-yü.²⁴ In spite of several serious political reversals, the state of Chung-shan managed to exist side by side with its ambitious neighbors until 296 B.C. when it was defeated by the state of Chao.
ref: 1982, Thomas Lawton, Chinese Art of the Warring States Period, Smithsonian Institution, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, →OL, page 21:
text: The dominance of herbalists in the new, overseas Chinese health care system was a reflection of two perhaps fortuitous circumstances (besides, of course, the lucrative nature of the new "Golden Mountain" environment itself, which was bound to draw the interest of the commercial herbal practitioners of south China). The first was the predominance of herbal medicine as an extremely well-established and highly successful tradition in the geographical areas from which most Chinese migrants came, namely the Canton Delta. A second was the unique role played in early Chinese migration to the United States, and particularly to Canada, by merchants and other entrepreneurs and community leaders from the strategically placed Hsiung-shan (later Chung-shan) County.

contentness
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: From content + -ness.
Senses: examples: text: A cardinal tenet of Navya-nyāya system is that every cognition (jñāna) must have viṣayatā (contentness). […] The definition implies that contentness as the relational abstract is abstracted from the content (viṣaya) of a cognition (jñāna).
ref: 1984, The Adyar library bulletin, volume 48, pages 65, 76:
text: The definition of the effectness, as proposed by the Prācyas, is too narrow to cover such non-produced effects as the contentness of the pot etc. in the context of knowing, desiring etc. For instance, consider the contentness in the context of the statement ‘Caitra knows the pot’ (ghaṭam jānāti caitrah).
ref: 1991, Vinayaka P. Bhatta, Epistemology, Logic, and Grammer^([sic]) in the Analysis of Sentence-meaning, volume 1, Criticism of Prācyas theory, page 242:
text: One fact should remain true throughout this entire experience, as the list of items that cause you to have frayed edges decreases then the anatomy evaluation next time should reflect at step or two closer to our goal of getting you to that place you are working so well to reach and that’s’ the feeling of contentness. […] Should you try to find personal contentness with another friend, working as a team so to speak ... but still have your own personal goals? […] Personal contentness as we have stated is a place in YOUR mind that has found peace, it is a mood, a feeling, and it can be shared but it has to be originated from within YOU.
ref: 2005 August, Stephen Briggs, A Blessing to All But Myself, America Star Books, →ISBN, page 46:
text: In the case of a true cognition the complex contentness resides in the object which corresponds to the complex content of a cognition, but in the case of a false cognition the complex contentness does not reside in the complex object corresponding to the […]
ref: 2013, Epistemology: Indian Philosophy, Taylor & Francis, →ISBN, page 312:
text: Historically, the notion in China that “a scholar would rather be killed than humiliated” displays a type of value orientation and action choice that shows the tension between the existence of emotional manifestations and contentness. Being humiliated means that the individual has lost their dignity or honor, which is also at odds with rational contentness.
