Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Soft cover : The book was rebound, retaining the damaged original front cover. 25,5 x18,5 cm, 115 + 100 pp., English, 1st Edition, Illustrations: All the illustrations (15) and figures (16) are present, book condition: Very Good This is a foundational geological study published in 1920 by Liangfu Ye (also cited as L.F. Yih). Published as the first volume in the Memoirs of the Geological Survey of China (Series A, No. 1), the work represents a critical early effort by Chinese scientists to systematically map and describe the region's stratigraphy and mineral resources. Key Details of the Publication: Author: Liangfu Ye (L.F. Yih). Publisher: Geological Survey of China, Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. Content: The 115-page memoir includes detailed descriptions of geological formations, 15 plates/maps, and 16 figures. It features a bilingual format with a summary and significant sections in Chinese. Scientific Contribution: Yih identified the Hungniiaoling Sandstone Series(Hongmiaoling) as a transitional sequence between the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic eras, a classification that remained influential until later fossil discoveries in 1927. Scope: The study focuses on the Western Hills (Xishan), a mountain range that covers roughly 17% of the Beijing municipality and is vital for its coal-bearing formations, such as the Mentougou. The second part of the 1920 memoir is the Chinese translation and supplement, which mirrors the English text but provides essential context for the local scientific and mining community of the time. While the first 115 pages are in English, the latter portion consists of approximately 100 pages written in Chinese (using traditional characters and Chinese numerals). This section was not just a summary, but a comprehensive formal record intended to establish standardized Chinese geological terminology. Key Components of the Chinese Section: Geological Terminology: It was one of the first major works to formalize Chinese names for strata and rock types. For example, it solidified terms for the Sinian formation (???), igneous rocks (???), and physiography (??). Stratigraphic Systems (????): This section details the local rock layers from the oldest Archaean foundations to the Quaternary loess, specifically focusing on the coal-bearing series of the Western Hills. Economic Geology (????): A significant portion is dedicated to the practical mining of the region, including descriptions of the Men-Tou-Kou (Mentougou) and Chai-Tang coal fields, which were vital to Beijing's economy. Administrative Preface: It includes an introduction by the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, positioning the work as a landmark in the modern scientific development of China. All the illustrations (15) and figures (16) are present.

Shanghai: Shanghai chu ban gong si, 1955. First edition of one of the most important studies of the phonological materials found within the Dunhuang manuscripts, which were then located in Europe. Jiang (1902-95), linguist, a leading Chinese scholar of Dunhuang studies, lived in France in 1935-37, gathering reproductions of many of the manuscripts spread throughout the continent, especially at the BnF in Paris and the British Museum. Jiang had studied phonology with Wang Guowei (1877-1927), a towering figure in early Republican intellectual history, at Tsinghua University in Beijing. In 1933 Jiang had published an introduction to Chinese phonetics, which was reissued in 1935. Jiang's background in phonetics might have prompted Wang Zhongmin (1903-1975) to ask him to take charge of surveying the phonological materials from Dunhuang that were held at the BnF. Wang, who later became a professor of library science in Beijing, was at that time the Chinese liaison in a bilateral project between the national libraries of China and France. The Dunhuang sources at the BnF had been collected by Paul Pelliot (1878-1945), one of the great French sinologists of the era. Jiang's work with these sources was intense. Photographs (of which he took over 3000) were costly, and reportedly, he as a consequence lived on plain noodles, vegetables, and congee. Hot water had to stand in for tea. Jiang drafted Phonological Materials from Dunhuang Collections Overseas based on his reading of more than 6000 items from the BnF Dunhuang collection. He also consulted other European collections, but unwillingness of the staff to allow access to East Asian scholars made this work difficult. Jiang returned to China via Russia, as war with Japan appeared more and more likely. During the war years, much of what he had collected in Europe was lost, but Jiang was able to finish Phonological Materials from Dunhuang Collections Overseas during a few years of relative peace and quiet behind the front in Sichuan. A very fine and fresh set, preserved in the original hantao. ?
