	The Bicycle And The Chinese People; the bicycle as a metaphor for the early influence of western technology in China
		Whether problems in the building of a public transport system, adequate to the needs of a "socialist" society, were the practical arguments for the endorsement of bicycle traffic, or whether there were ideological reasons, may be left to further research.
		As a matter of fact, the bicycle received strong support by the Chinese government in different ways: the cycle industry, which was established by merging smaller manufacturers into larger national firms, was given preferential allowances of rationed materials.
		The spread of the bicycle as a common means of transportation was further fostered, after the foundation of the People's Republic of China, by subsidies to the cycle industry and to cycle users.

		The second phase of the dynastic cycle began with the rule of the "martial emperor," Wu Ti, in 141 B.C.E. Old policies like government monopolies on salt, iron, liquor, etc. were established to maintain control of China.
		This dynastic cycle begins with internal wars that eventually lead to the military unification of China.
		But then the cycle turns downward because of the increased costs of empire and opulence at court, which require additional taxes on a burdened populace.

	The Lunar Planner
		The FULL MOON theme of this lunar cycle is found in the conjoining stars at the tail of the Great Bear--bring us to a point of "discernment" to see behind the facades and diversions of life, to see who is who in our lives and what is truly important.
		The time now in the great cycle, and the events transpiring on the world stage, support us to wake from the dogmatic belief structures inherent within us all and to live as self aware, self-responsible beings, co-participating in our uniqueness and in harmony together on Earth.
		At the dark point in the precessional cycle (pre-dynastic Egypt), the leaders aligned with Benatnasch were thought to be saviors, leading the people--and this continues today although totally in a putrescent fashion, one clearly antiquated.

		Often called the dynastic model, this hypothesis of wealth accumulation for bequest purposes suggests not that people try to smooth consumption over their lifetimes, but that they perceive their welfare as being directly related to the well-being of their children.
		More damaging, perhaps, is that mathematical models of dynastic savings behavior are notably unsuccessful at generating wealth distribution patterns that resemble the actual U.S. distribution of wealth.
		A 1994 dynastic model by S. Rao Aiyagari, for example, fell far short of generating as much inequality in wealth distribution as actually exists in the United States.

		This dynastic theory is seen to be applicable not only to empires and nations, but to groups and individuals as well.

		It is precisely his attempt to highlight the complexity of the China's political structure and at the same time tell a narrative of cooperation that leads him to self contradiction at times.
		By framing this historical interaction within the paradigm of the Chinese dynastic cycle, Fairbank seems to privilege China as the one that subsumes the West.
		This approach, however, simply masks the imperialist nature of the West in an encounter that, because it was qualitatively different in almost every aspect from previous dynastic power shifts, does not fit into the dynastic cycle framework.

	Periodization
		Traditional Chinese historiography divided the country’s history into dynastic periods and explained the divisions by reference to a dynastic cycle.
		Some modern historians, while accepting that the personal qualities of its rulers had some influence on a dynasty’s fortunes, have argued that the dynastic cycle was essentially the product of economic and administrative factors.
		Even if the concept of the dynastic cycle has some validity, a repetitive cycle is not a consistent feature in imperial history.

		The defining character of the "dynastic cycle" is well illustrated in the rise and fall of the Han Imperial State (as is the functioning of the political system itself).
		The rapid rise and fall of rival dynastic houses results from an inability to garner sufficient support to allow the recreation of political unity in such a large scale state system (despite the characteristic appeal to expected Confucian norms and values).
		The T'ang represents a dynastic period noted for religious tolerance as well as cultural growth and enrichment enhanced by contacts with South Asia and the West.

		Its history follows a general pattern of repetitive cycles of waxing and waning that allowed the far-western and southern periphery of China to become ethnically and linguistically diverse as these regions periodically fell out of centralized control.
		With the disintegration of this dynastic regime, provincial revolts or foreign invasion follows with the establishment of a new dynasty, and the cycle resumes.
		This dynastic system began in the late 3rd century BC and ended in 1912 AD (though some scholars argue that after Mao came to power in 1949, Communist China follows a typical dynastic cycle).

		The purpose is to provide an endogenous explanation for the long term behavior of the model as a periodic alternation of the society in historic China between despotism and anarchy.
		The system is characterized by a pronounced slow-fast dynamics, i.e., the x- and y-coordiantes are changing very fast as compared to the z-coordinate.
		As soon as the power of the rulers reaches a certain critical level they are able to eradicate bandits almost immediately (fast transition of point 4 to point 1).

		That's one dynastic cycle, and Chinese history is a succession of these cycles that are pretty much alike; time after time after time.
		So as the dynastic cycle progressed, the People were put under increasing stress, and they were increasingly willing to believe that Heaven was ready to withdraw it's mandate from the ruling order.

	It Makes a Difference to the Sheep: CHATTING WITH A JAPANESE TECHNOCRAT
		One such difference, he observed, was the long-standing Eastern (Chinese-Korean-Japanese) tradition of what I would call the Confucian Dynastic Cycle.
		Within that framework (which emphasizes the virtue, morality and ability of kings and emperors as indices of dynastic prosperity and longevity), he emphasized what I describe to my students as the "expander/consolidator" position in the traditional dynastic cycle.
		This is a monarch who is usually not the son of the dynastic founder but rather the grandson.

		One result of this focus has been to associate certain patterns of famine relief and grain storage with the dynastic cycle: bureaucratic intervention in food crises was successful when dynasties were strong; obligations for famine relief fell upon the shoulders of local elites when state coffers were depleted.
		Using a diary and other materials about a famine in Shaoxing in the early 1640s-that is, on the eve of dynastic collapse-Joanna Handlin Smith detects few signs that state authority (as embodied in local officials) was weak or that the procurement of grain was a dominant problem.
		This paper will explore: (1) the significance of these patterns, and whether they really marked new trends, or whether they were merely part of the dynastic cycle, and (2) the impact of these changes on the local areas receiving relief.

		The imperial dynastic system of government, which continued for centuries, was established as early as 221 BC.
		China was even ruled at times by foreign invaders, such as the Mongols during the Yuan Dynasty, from AD 1279 to 1368, and the Manchus during the Ch'ing Dynasty, from AD 1644 to 1911, but the foreigners were largely absorbed into the culture they governed.
		The pattern of the rise and fall of Han was to be repeated in later periods.

		However, the five Chinese scientists argue that climate plays a key role as well; and to examine their thesis, they compared proxy climate records with historical data on wars, social unrest and dynastic transitions in China from the late Tang to Qing Dynasties (mid-9th century to early 20th century).
		This work revealed that war frequencies, peak war clusters, nationwide periods of social unrest and dynastic transitions were all significantly associated with cold phases of China's oscillating climate.
		As a result, they concluded that climate change was "one of the most important factors in determining the dynastic cycle and alternation of war and peace in ancient China," with warmer climates having been immensely more effective than cooler climates in terms of helping to "keep the peace."

		Imperial China's political history is one of long periods of stable, autocratic, and socially conservative dynasties, with a dynastic cycle that leads to collapse of the state and periods of terrible chaos.
		After the Song, the primary threat to dynastic stability was external: the Mongols, the Manchus, the Europeans, and (in the Twentieth Century) the Japanese.
		The century from the 1840s to the 1940s is sometimes called the century of humilation and broken treaties.
