Sinology
Sinology, also referred to as China studies, is a subfield of area studies or East Asian studies involved in social sciences and humanities research on China. It is an academic discipline that focuses on the study of the Chinese civilization primarily through Chinese language, history, culture, literature, philosophy, art, music, cinema, and science. Its origin "may be traced to the examination which Chinese scholars made of their own civilization."

The academic field of sinology often refers to Western scholarship. Until the 20th century, it was historically seen as equivalent to philology concerning the Chinese classics and other literature written in the Chinese language. Since then, the scope of sinology has expanded to include Chinese history and palaeography, among other subjects.

0-8-0+0-6-0T
An 0-8-0+0-6-0, in the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, is the configuration for any such articulated locomotives with two separate pivoting engine units.

Any such locomotives built as tank locomotives are referred to as an 0-8-0+0-6-0T.

In the UIC system, this would be described as a D'C't arrangement. The suffix "t" denotes this locomotive being a tank locomotive. A locomotive that carries it's fuel and water on board via tanks for the water and a bunker at the rear of the cab for fuel.
