Word: Chungshan Part of Speech: name Etymology: Borrowed from Mandarin 中山 (Zhōngshān) Wade–Giles romanization: Chung¹-shan¹. Chungshan is also a romanization of Cantonese 中山 (zung1 saan1), the name of the city in Guangdong, China, and it coincides with its Mandarin romanization of Chungshan. 1. Alternative form of Zhongshan (Guangdong, China) Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: About one-seventh of the world’s output of raw silk is produced in the Province of Kwangtung, where the principal districts from the standpoint of value of raw-silk production are Shuntak, Chungshan, Namhoi, Sunwui and Samshui. All the silk business of Kwangtung Province centers in Shuntak (south of Canton, in the Canton delta area). Example: Today’s communique reported engagements in Kwangtung in extreme South China. “The Chinese are advancing against enemy position at Chungshan, the Birthplace of Sun Yat Sen.—Reuter. 2. Alternative form of Zhongshan (ancient kingdom) Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: Strange copper objects found in western Manchuria and procured by the writer from an itinerant dealer in refuse-copper. These are exaggerated likenesses of spade-cash, but are not described in any works on coins. They are marked Chung Shan (中山). No. 16 has Er (二, two) with the characters Chung Shan inverted. Note also the duplicated lines of the inscription. Chungshan was an ancient State in western Chihli, bordering on Manchuria. These may be clumsy imitations of the old Chinese coinage, cast by the half-civilized tribes on the border. They are undoubtedly very ancient. Example: The State of Chungshan had previously had its capital in Tinghsien county northeast of Shihchiachuang and more toward the center of Hopei province 3. Alternative form of Zhongshan (Taiwan) Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: The greatest rate of increase in land value in the main business sectors of the city lies in the area of Chienkuo North Road in the Chungshan District, where land increased in price to US$1,350 per square meter, a rise of 3.3 percent over last year. Example: In 1984, it was decided to reconstruct the building in Pinchiang Park (bīnjiāng gōngyuán) in the Chungshan District, just east of Hsinsheng N Rd and north of Mintsu E Rd. The only unfortunate thing about this location is that it’s right in the landing path of Sungshan Airport - aircraft come in so low it’s a wonder they don’t knock the roof ornaments off.
Word: ursicide Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Latin ursus + -cide. 1. The killing of a bear. Labels: countable, rare, uncountable Example: Bruin having perpetrated a charge worthy of Waterloo, is toddling off as fast as a rather extensive morning’s repast will allow him. / Having made sure of whatever remains of the wreck of eatables and drinkables by consuming them on the spot, a proceeding that in a great measure restores my philosophical equilibrium, I again sally forth bent upon ursicide. / I am not going to be knocked over a second time in so unceremonious a manner, so I pick my way through the underwood of the forest, as cautiously and stealthily as possible, almost on my hands and knees, my gun on full cock, and ready for another charge as soon as the enemy chooses. Example: Master Will Altemose, of Tunkhannock, Pa., seems to be the most promising lad of his age in the country. His exploit of nonchalantly chopping up a she bear and two cubs the other day marks him as a person of courage and resource. On the day in question Master Altemose was chopping wood, and not prospecting for bear. What ursicides he would have committed if he had been really loaded for b’ar can only be imagined. We commend the study of Willie, the Bear King of Tunkhannock, to those sad-orbed wailers who insist that the boys of America are a degenerate and cigarette-ruined race. 2. One who kills a bear. Labels: countable, rare, uncountable Example: I made for the barns to catch Bruin napping or lolling in the old hay. I entertain a vendetta toward the ursine family. I had a duello, pistol against claw, with one of them in the mountains of Oregon, and have nothing to show to point the moral and adorn the tale. My antagonist of that hand-to-hand fight received two shots, and then dodged into cover and was lost in the twilight. Soon or late in my life, I hoped that I should avenge this evasion. Ripogenus would, perhaps, give what the Nachchese Pass had taken away. / Vain hope! I was not to be an ursicide. I begin to fear that I shall slay no other than my proper personal bearishness. I did my duty for another result at Ripogenus. I bolted audaciously into every barn. I made excursions into the woods around. I found the mark of the beast, not the beast. He had not long ago decamped, and was now, perhaps, sucking the meditative paw hard-by in an arbor of his bear-garden. Example: It was entirely proper and in order to slay a deer or two while in the deer woods, and they did bring in a choice specimen or two for camp use or for friends at home. But Fernaldus was touched with ursimania. He would become an ursicide. The notion of possessing a bearskin rug pleased his fancy, and over the hill, in a tangle beside the brook, he had come across fresh signs of a monster Bruin.
Word: ursicides Part of Speech: noun 1. plural of ursicide Labels: form-of, plural
Word: Heungshan Part of Speech: name Etymology: Borrowed from Cantonese 香山 (hoeng1 saan1), the former name of Zhongshan. 1. Former name of Zhongshan (a prefecture-level city in Guangdong, China; former county of Guangdong, China). Labels: historical Example: In accordance with the urgent resolutions unamimously passed by this meeting, Sir John boldly departed from Elgin’s line of policy and issued (July 31, 1858) a proclamation emphatically threatening the Heungshan and Sanon Districts with the retributive vengeance of the British Government if servants and food supplies were withheld any longer. Copies of this proclamation were successfully delivered at Heungshan by a party of British marines, but when H.M.S. Starling conveyed copies of the same proclamation to Sanon, a boat’s crew, while under a flag of truce, were fired upon by the braves of Namtao. Example: The Portuguese have always claimed for Macao an independence of Chinese jurisdiction which the Chinese government, until 1887, never admitted. Much has been said of a “Golden Chop” constituting the charter of the colony, which is said to have been granted by the Chinese emperor, and to have been lost; but there is no record that any unofficial person ever saw it. The facts are all against the claim. Rent, a full recognition of sovereignty, was paid to the Heungshan Hien, from the very beginning until Governor Amaral's coup d’état in 1849.

Example: Chingchiang county was once a large sandy island that became a part of the north shore in the first half of the 17th century. Chungming Island was close to the south shore two centuries ago, but today it is separated from the north shore by only a narrow strip of water and is still moving closer to it. Example: The government of Jingjiang city in China's eastern Jiangsu province said on Friday that a fire at a chemical plant had been put under control and there were no casualties.
Word: wire cartridge Part of Speech: noun 1. An early type of shotgun cartridge that had wire lining in the case to assist concentrating the shot. Example: When we arrived at the knoll, after having crossed the frozen bog, I took on account of the considerable distance at which the bird would have to be shot at, if he, as we supposed, would settle in the top of the fir tree the shot out of my gun, and loaded again with a wire cartridge.

Word: Baise Part of Speech: name Etymology: From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of Mandarin 百色 (Bǎisè). Pronunciation: /baɪ.si/, /baɪ.sə/ 1. A prefecture-level city of the Guangxi autonomous region, China. Example: After having made contact with General Chennault and the OSS, Ho left for Kwangsi to visit the Dong Minh Hoi. This time he went to Paise instead of Liuchow because Liuchow had fallen into Japanese hands on November 11, 1944. Example: Liu Jih-fu was an oldtime Kwangsi military leader. When the Kwangtung army captured Nanning, he withdrew his 3,000 to 4,000 men to Paise (Poseh) near the Yunnan border and fought on there.
Word: Poseh Part of Speech: name Etymology: Borrowed from Mandarin 百色 (Bósè). 1. Synonym of Baise. Labels: dated Example: The South River is often also called the West River (constituting, as it does, the main trade route) up to a point 30 miles above Nanning, where it is bifurcated into the Left Branch leading to Lungchow, and the Right Branch leading to Poseh, whence is a main trade route into Yunnan, by which the trade with Hongkong and Canton via Wuchow and via Pakhoi finds its way; Poseh is accessible to large native craft, of perhaps 30 tons capacity, navigated through the many rapids with great skill. Example: Two lines of travel lead south and east from Yunnanfu. One is the route of the railway through Mengtsz to French Indo-China, with a caravan trail which branches off to Szemao in the southwest. The other road is the big east highway to Kwangtung. This road goes overland to Poseh at the head of navigation on the Si Kiang in western Kiangsi^([sic – meaning Kwangsi]), 355 miles distant, and requires twenty days of travel. From Poseh boats go down stream to Canton.

Word: Kweiping Part of Speech: name Etymology: Borrowed from Mandarin 桂平 (Guìpíng). 1. Synonym of Guiping. Labels: dated Example: The Japanese took Kweiping south of Kweilin after bitter street fighting in which the Japanese suffered heavy casualties. The Chinese ‘communique’ issued on the night of October 15 says that the Chinese garrison which was out-numbered fought until they were killed to the last man, while the Japanese dead littered the streets.—Reuter. Example: River traffic is important on the Si, although navigation is obstructed at many points by rapids and shallows. Ships of 10,000 tons call at Whampoa, Canton’s outer port, and vessels of 9-foot draft can travel upriver to Wuchow, the limit for ocean-going ships. Junks reach far into Kwangsi, and the Yuh is navigable for many months right up to Poseh on the Yunnan border, in spite of the difficult rapids between Kweiping and Nanning.
