Zhen Guo CanalIn order to weaken the national power of the Qin State, Zheng Guo, an expert on irrigation works,

was sent by the Han State to Qin, persuading the king of Qin to start construction on a large-scale

irrigation project so as to divert the country's focus on unification. Afterwards the king of Qin

discovered the manipulation and decided to kill Zheng Guo. However, the expert said calmly that

building the canal might keep the Han State alive for years, but could benefit Qin for a hundred

years. The king found the words reasonable and kept Zheng Guo to continue the project. Through

efforts of over ten years, the Zhengguo Canal that stretched for 300 miles was finally finished,

contributing to the fertile soil in the Guanzhong region. The advanced agriculture in the Qin State

later became a strong material support for the unification of China.

Yaozhou Kiln

The original Yaozhou Kiln is located in Yaozhou, which is present-day Huangbaozhen in

Tongchuan of Northwest China'sShaanxi Province. Yaozhou ware was another major school of

porcelain in northern China during the Song Dynasty (960-1279).

Exhaustive studies show that Huangbaozhen was an important porcelain-making site established

in theTang Dynasty(618-907). Its development continued till the reign of Jingkang (1126-1127)

in the Northern Song Dynasty(960-1127), before gradually declining afterwards. However,

the Yuan Dynasty(1271-1368) still saw the manufacture of Yaozhou ware.

The Geodetic Origin for the People's Republic of China

The "geodetic datum", also known as "geodetic origin", is a well-defined geodetic datum for the

geodetic measurements and positioning computations, which is used as a geocentric reference

system for a country's horizontal control survey network, reports the overseas edition of People's

Daily on Thursday.
