There are said to be over 400,000 famine refugees in Shensi, over a million in Kansu, some 7,000,000 in Honan, and 3,000,000 in Kweichow. The famine in Kweichow is admitted by the official Central News to be the most serious in 100 years, affecting sixty districts of the province."

Example: The eastern section from Vladivostock- which crosses the Manchurian frontier at San-Ch'a-kou and will pass a few miles to the north of Ninguta, go westward to Yi-mien-p'o, and northwest to A-shih-ho, leaving that town on its left- will join the southern section on the south bank of the Sungari.

Word: Tsitsihar Part of Speech: name 1. Alternative form of Qiqihar. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: From Ha-êrh-pin north-east to Hulan, Tsitsihar, and Stretensk two serious difficulties have to be overcome. The first is the bridging of the Sungari, which, owing to its extended breadth in summer, will require a bridge some 2,800 feet in length. The second is the passage of the Hsing-an range, which will necessitate in many places cuttings 80 feet deep and of considerable length, but no tunnelling. Example: Ninety-five per cent of the cultivated area of the country lies east of a line drawn from Tsitsihar (Ch'i-ch'i-ha-erh) in northern Manchuria to K'un-ming in Yün-nan Province. This is eastern China, and within it is the Chinese ecumene.

Example: Upon receiving intelligence reports about the massing of enemy paratroopers, General Peng Dehuai posted a defence regiment at Yan'an airfield, and requested that Mao leave Yan'an as soon as possible. Example: On my last trip before completing this book, I visited Zizhou county, about 200 miles north of Yan’an, where peasants had tried to engage a lawyer to defend themselves in the courts against the oppressive and brutal control of local Party officials. Not much had changed here in the seventy years since Mao’s Long March and his ‘liberation’ of the peasants from their ‘cruel landlords’. Now, the peasants were afraid not of landlords but of the Party officials who prey on them just as the landlords once did.
Word: Yenan Part of Speech: name 1. Alternative form of Yan'an. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: THE Communists were all very proud of their new "capital" at Yenan, and veterans from Pao An were always asking me what I thought of the improvements since my last visit. The question at first seemed pure irony. Nearly every building inside the walls was in ruin, and Yenan was in fact the only example I have seen of complete demolition of a sizable town by air bombardment alone. Example: After making the Long March with the First Front Army, Lo was a political instructor by 1937 at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political Academy (K'ang-ta) where Lin Piao was the president. Concurrently, Lo was director of the Political Department for the Garrison Corps at the Communist capital in Yenan.

Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: But many Americans continued to believe that two vital questions about Formosa still deserved debate. The first was strategic: in the event of another war, will the U.S. need Formosa? The second was moral: should the U.S., as an anti-Communist power, help maintain a center of anti-Communist resistance in China? Example: The interior of Mao Tse-tung’s house at Hsiangtan County in Hunan Province was damaged by a number of anti-Communist protestors on June 23, according to a news report reaching Taipei recently.

Word: Tiananmen Part of Speech: name Etymology: From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin Chinese pronunciation for 天安門／天安门 (Tiān'ānmén), literally "the gate of Heaven's peacemaking" or conventionally: "the gate of heavenly peace", without syllable-dividing mark (隔音符號／隔音符号 (géyīn fúhào)). Pronunciation: /ˈtʰjɛnˈɑnˈmʌn/ 1. A gate near the Forbidden City, Beijing, China. Example: In 1966, Mao sanctioned the start of the Cultural Revolution, a campaign against entrenched party interests and "capitalist-roaders" that brought China to the brink of civil war and ruined lives and careers. All the while, he nurtured a personality cult. People carried around his "Little Red Book" of quotations; Mao thought was studied in schools, and his portrait hung on the Tiananmen gate in front of the former imperial palace. It hangs there still. Example: Like many Beijing landmarks - the Gate of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Literary Glory, the Hall of Martial Valour - Tiananmen's name, "The Gate of Heavenly Peace", is abstract and absolute, an appellation bequeathed by Mao Zedong, "The Great Helmsman," whose cult still lives on in his mausoleum in the square, and in the sale of kitsch Maomorabilia. 2. Ellipsis of Tiananmen Square. Labels: abbreviation, alt-of, ellipsis Example: Jiang Zemin has almost managed to make the event disappear down an Orwellian memory hole. Even in Western countries, sub-editors have taken to calling it the ‘Tiananmen crackdown’, rather than ‘massacre’, making it seem as insignificant as the endless stories about routine ‘crackdowns’ on smuggling, prostitution, counterfeit goods, VAT forms or corruption, which provide the stuff of daily reporting here in China. Example: The parade will feature more than 10,000 Chinese troops who will pass by the rostrum at Tiananmen as close to 200 military aircraft fly overhead.

Word: Ch'ing Part of Speech: name Etymology: From Mandarin 清 (Qīng), Wade–Giles romanization: Chʻing¹. 1. Alternative form of Qing. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: The p’u-fu, a three-quarter-length coat worn by men and women over their ch’ao-fu and chi-fu, became an important adjunct of Ch’ing dynasty dress because it proclaimed the wearer's exact rank at a glance, being made of plain purplish-black silk on which his insigne was emblazoned in bright colours and gold. Example: In China in the Ch’ing dynasty local government was organized on the same principle at all levels. All administrative units, from the province down to the chou (department) and the hsien (district), which are the focus of our study, were designed and created by the central government which financed their budgets, appointed their officials, and directed and supervised their activities.
Word: Yang-lo Part of Speech: name Etymology: From Mandarin 陽邏 /阳逻 (Yángluó), Wade–Giles romanization: Yang²-lo². 1. Alternative form of Yangluo. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: Of the northernmost one of these folds, the writer has some faint recollection of seeing the folded strata. They form the hills to the west of Han-yung^([sic – meaning Han-yang]) and the central ridge across the city of Wu-chang and extends further east; the west-easterly course of the Yang-tze below Yang-lo (lat. 30° 30 'N.) is in all probability determined by this E-W fold. Example: In the major sub-district administrative centers (chen) such as T'uan-feng, Yang-lo and Ts'ang-fu (which were also key economic centers) the Taipings stationed local officials and ordered that tax registers be compiled.

Example: About four or five leagues from Canton is the celebrated village of Fo-ſhan, ſaid to be the moſt populous in the world, and called a village becauſe it is not encloſed by walls, nor has a particular governor, although its commerce is immenſe, and it contains more houſes and inhabitants than even Canton itſelf.
Word: Chan-chiang Part of Speech: name Etymology: From Mandarin 湛江 (Zhànjiāng), Wade–Giles romanization: Chan⁴-chiang¹. 1. Alternative form of Zhanjiang. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: CHAN-CHIANG (Cantonese TSAM-KONG), a port city on the east coast head of the Luichow peninsula, on Kuang-chou wan (Kwangchow bay), Kwangtung province, south coast of China. Pop. (1953 census) 166,000. Communist China began to enlarge the port in 1954, to create a major south-coast seaport, and in July 1955 completed a 200-mi. branch railway from Li-t’ang in Kwangsi to Chan-chiang. Example: Until 1957, military and connecting lines were proportionately more important in new railway construction than in later years. Military considerations also appeared to be an important factor in railway building prior to the "Great Leap" period. Of the four new military lines (Lai-pin to Mu-nan-kuan, Li-t'ang to Chan-chiang, Ying-t'an to Amoy, and Chi-ning to Erh-lien), the first two are clearly designed to provide logistic support for Chinese activities in Southeast Asia, particularly Vietnam. The early completion of these lines supports the thesis that the Chinese Communist Party decided a decade or more ago to increase its influence in Southeast Asia.
Word: Hai-k'ou Part of Speech: name Etymology: From Mandarin 海口 (Hǎikǒu), Wade–Giles romanization: Hai³-kʻou³. 1. Alternative form of Haikou. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: Under this system, the country is divided into eleven wage regions. Thus, there are eleven different variations of the thirty wage-grades of civil servants. The differential between each regional scale is about 3 percent, making a disparity of 30 percent between the highest and the lowest scales. There has been scant information in the Chinese press as to how the scales are determined or where the eleven regions are. The fist or highest scale is reported to be in force at Hai-k'ou on Hainan Island, the second in Canton and Shanghai, and the third in Peking and Tientsin. Example: As for Fletcher himself, his enthusiasm for Chinese art and poetry grew with the years. Later, while a consul at Hoihow (Hai-k’ou, a major seaport on Hainan Island), he published in Shanghai two volumes of translations: Gems of Chinese Verse (1918) and More Gems of Chinese Poetry (1919).
