To this end, this research examines the position of Buddhism, the state Buddhist policies, the roles of monks in response to the policies, and the identity of monks in medieval Korea. The conclusion is that medieval Korea took carrot-and-stick approach to Buddhism and in response, playing as political advisors, subjects to the ruler, thaumaturgies, entrepreneurs, and even warriors, power-oriented monks ingratiated themselves with the state Buddhist policies for their sustenance on practical considerations, often violating the basic teachings of the Buddha and creating issues regarding their identity as monks. This Korean tradition in a larger part appears to be a product of the Sinicized Buddhism, thus highlighting the need of further in-depth research on the nature of Korean Buddhism in particular and that of East Asian Buddhism in general.展开更多

It is developed on basis of the theory of combustion and is proved to be very successful in operation. Those coals, which are hard to burn, can be fired successfuly with this method of combustion. P-c burners can be easily retrofitted to this new method of combustion. The firing of such hard to burn coals can be burnt with great stability and high burn-out efficiency. Therefore, this new method of p-c firing is considered very prospective in China. It can be used widely in power stations. Its advantages in combustion and economy of operation are eminent. Patent has been granted to it by the Patent Office of China and it got good evaluation in power industry. In this article, the principle of its design and its performance arc briefly discussed.展开更多

Like most of the scientists of his generation, Prof. Yu gave up the attractive conditions abroad and went back to China with the determination to rescue the nation with his knowledge. He has devoted his entire life to the development of phytopathology in China since 1924. Prof. Yu is also a distinguished educator who has instructed and in spired several generations of talent students for the country and has made outstanding contributions to the development of the agricultural scienee and education in China.展开更多
