The Preservation and Transmission of the Lantern Festival “Miaohui” in Ningcheng County, China

This research focuses on the preservation and transmission of the Lantern Festival “Miaohui” in Ningcheng County, China. The study’s qualitative research method involved conducting interviews and observations. The results of the study are as follows: The Lantern Festival “Miaohui” in Ningcheng County is a culturally rich tradition dating back to the Qing Dynasty, with a peak during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. This cultural heritage, deeply rooted in the local community’s veneration for the divine and temple culture, plays a vital role in Ningcheng’s historical and cultural significance. In 1983, various stakeholders reignited efforts to preserve and transmit this tradition, following disruptions during the Cultural Revolution. The Guandi Temple, central to this heritage, has undergone transformations over the years but remains a symbol of Ningcheng’s cultural identity. While the Lantern Festival “Miaohui” thrives, challenges like financial support, suitable venues, and professional inheritance systems pose threats to its long-term preservation and transmission. Collaborative efforts involving the government, local associations, and educational institutions are necessary to address these challenges and ensure the tradition’s preservation and continuation. This cultural treasure bridges the gap between tradition and modernity, fostering a profound appreciation for Ningcheng’s rich heritage

Generation of frequency multiplexed entangled single photons assisted by the entanglement

We present a scheme to generate the frequency multiplexed entangled (FME) single photons based on the entanglement between two species atomic mixture ensemble. The write and reads fields driven according to a certain timing sequence, the generation of FME single photons can be repeated until success is achieved. The source might have significant applications in wavelength division multiplexing quantum key distribution.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, submitted to PR

Historical Study of China's Cultural Revolution and Its Coverage by the New York times

This thesis has generally adopted the Chinese Pinyin System of Romanization for transcribing Chinese names and places. Original spellings of names of persons and places have changed into Pinyin, which has been adopted by The New York Times for many years. For example, Peking is Beijing, Mao Tsetung is Mao Zedong and Liu Shao-ch'i is Liu Shaoqi, Chou Enlai ia Zhou Enlai. The original spelling is found only in quotations. The names of persons in this thesis are spelled in the traditional Chinese way, that is, surname first, except in the case of Nien Cheng, who chose to put her surname last in her book Life and Death in Shanghai. A few names of persons bear a hyphen between a two-word name. Such names were left as they appear in the quotations. Last of all, pinyin represent sounds similar to English sounds with only a few exceptions, such as c in Pinyin equals to ts in English; q equals to ch; x equals to sh; z equals to dz and zh equals to j.Mass Communication

Quantum tunneling time of a Bose-Einstein condensate traversing through a laser-induced potential barrier

We theoretically study the effect of atomic nonlinearity on the tunneling time in the case of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) traversing the laser-induced potential barrier. The atomic nonlinearity is controlled to appear only in the region of the barrier by employing the Feshbach resonance technique to tune interatomic interaction in the tunneling process. Numerical simulation shows that the atomic nonlinear effect dramatically changes the tunneling behavior of the BEC matter wave packet, and results in the violation of Hartman effect and the occurrence of negative tunneling time.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
