文摘Ancient landslides with platform geomorphology occasionally reactivate,posing serious geohazards.On September 9,2021,persistent heavy rainfall triggered the reactivation of the Dahekou ancient landslide within a gently sloping geomorphology at the core of Zhangjiantan syncline in China's western Qinling-Daba Mountains.This event caused one death,damaged 80 houses,and blocked the Yushui River.This study reconstructs the sliding process of the Dahekou landslide and deciphers the complex landslide initiation mechanisms through field surveys,unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)imagery analysis,drilling,electrical resistivity tomography(ERT)and small baseline subset–interferometric synthetic aperture radar(SBAS–InSAR)monitoring.We divide the sliding process of the Dahekou landslide into three stages.Two new landslides(#1 and#2)occurred at 18:30 on September 9,2021.Subsequently,the ancient landslide(#3)slid in the 230°direction at approximately 20:30 on September 9,2021,then changed the direction to 170°–240°at 22:30 on the same day,and moved in the direction of 300°at 10:00 the next day.Finally,the reactivated ancient landslide(#3)formed two partially sliding masses,with volumes of approximately 158×10^(4)m^(3)and 160×10~4 m^(3),along the directions of 170°–240°and 300°,respectively,damaging 80 houses and blocking the Yushui River.Field surveys suggest that new landslides#1 and#2 are rock landslides and soil landslides,respectively,with volumes of approximately 230×10^(4)m^(3)and 7.49×10~4 m^(3).Compared with the InSAR data,the new landslide#1 thrust the ancient landslide#3,with an uplift velocity rate of 22.68 mm/a at the rear edge,from September 2020–September 2021.An analysis of drill hole data reveals that the bedding in the landslide area has complex geological conditions,comprising mudstone prone to slipping with different degrees of weathering.Notably,the core of the Zhangjiatan syncline sits on the sliding bedding of the ancient landslide,contributing to a change in the sliding direction.This comprehensive study reveals that the landslide#1 loading and thrusting,the persistent and heavy rainfall,and the complex geological conditions influenced the reactivated ancient landslide.Considering the intricacies of landslide failure mechanisms,we advocate for giving more attention in the future to the zone of potentially slip-prone strata located at the edge of ancient landslides.

文摘China and Vietnam are geographically connected,and Vietnam has been deeply influenced by Chinese culture.The development of Vietnam’s ancient traditional medicine was profoundly shaped by China.This study aims to analyze the exchanges of traditional medicine between China and Vietnam from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties.Using a documentary analysis method,it conducts an extensive review of journals,ancient books and other materials related to Sino-Vietnamese traditional medical interactions.It reveals historical exchanges and interactions between ancient China and Vietnam in areas such as medicinal materials,medical practitioners,and medical books.These interactions enabled Vietnam to form a medical system that is inherently connected to Chinese medicine yet distinct in its own right.By doing so,this research enhances our understanding of the relationship between Chinese and Vietnamese medicine-one of shared origins with divergent developments-and provides a historical foundation for the inheritance and international exchange of traditional medicine today.
文摘The ancient village of Khunzakh,in Dagestan,is literally located on the edge of a deep canyon(峡谷),making it one of the most awe⁃inspiring human settlements in the world.Before Khabib Nurmagomedov became the undisputed(无可争辩的)champion of the UFC Lightweight Division,most people hadn't even heard of Dagestan.Today,it is almost associated with the legendary mixed martial arts master,but the Russian autonomous republic is actually home to a number of wonders that the world has yet to discover.Today,we're featuring Khunzakh,a very old village with a very unique location—right on the edge of a 100⁃meter⁃deep canyon.
