Introduction: CAE Member WU Zhiqiang believes that urban planning is particularly important for China. The history of urban development has repeatedly proved that the city as a human body needs to be organically combined with nature. Urban planning is not only to complete the artificial construction, but also to intervene in the ecological nature. Natural conditions are the first factor in urban planning, so it is necessary to integrate the artificial system and the natural ecosystem.

Introduction: Confucianist and Daoist are the mainstream of Chinese culture. Confucianist shapes the social personality of the Chinese people. Daoist achieves the natural personality of the Chinese people. The core of "Dao" and "Nature" and "Inaction" are the basic categories, which have far-reaching influence on people's affairs and political philosophy. This course is divided into three major parts: the origin and mission of Daoist, the life of Laozi and the life of Zhuang Zi.

Introduction: In order to provide a platform for the top-level international exchange of engineering science and technology (EST) scholarship, as well as better guidance for the development of EST, the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) is launching a world-class journal, Engineering, through cooperation with renowned experts and scholars in the EST communities. This journal covers all fields of EST, and reflects current EST development trends and progress in order to promote the exchange and exhibition of achievements. It includes Engineering and other 10 sub-journals: Strategic Study of Chinese Academy of Engineering, Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering, Frontiers in Energy, Frontiers of Engineering Management, Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering, Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering, Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering, Frontiers of Medicine and Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering. Recently, the Engineering is accessible on IKCEST platform. By accessing it, you can learn about cutting-edge advancements in engineering R&D, current major research outputs, and key achievements in EST.

Introduction: Based on the daily air temperature, precipitation and other multi-source data of meteorological stations, the percentile threshold method is used to calculate the extremely low temperature, high temperature and precipitation days of each meteorological station. The spatial distribution characteristics of extreme weather events are obtained by using Kriging interpolation. The data set shows the extremely low temperature, high temperature and precipitation days in the adjacent regions of China and Russia: Heilongjiang Province and the coastal border region. It helps users to understand the temporal and spatial distribution of extreme weather events in this region, and provides a reference and basis for users and further research.

Introduction: This data set selects 200km buffer areas along both sides of the China-Mongolia Railway (Mongolia section) as the study area, and introduces the P-BSHADE method, based on the normalized differential vegetation index NDVI and a small amount of ground-measured sample data, to simulate evenly distributed samples Conduct an interpolation experiment. Based on the measured sample points and simulated sample points, combined with NDVI, enhanced vegetation index, and net photosynthetic vegetation index, the optimal model for estimating grass yield was established, and the annual grass yield data of the study area from 2000 to 2019 was retrieved and analyzed. Characteristics of temporal and spatial pattern changes.

Introduction: The vegetation degradation, drought and other environmental issues in the Mongolian Plateau have been as the hot spot in the study of the climate change and the ecological environment changes in Northeast Asia. However, it is lack of study focused on building the stable drought monitoring model and their spatio-temporal differences between Mongolia and Inner Mongolia. Based on the NOAA AVHRR NDVI-Path Finder 10d remote sensing data of 1981-1999 and MODIS vegetation index and the surface temperature 16d data of 2000-2012, the knowledge service inverted Temperature and Drought Vegetation Index (TVDI) by the Ts-NDVI general space, their spatio-temporal distribution and changes were studied. The main conclusions are as follows: The inverted TVDI based on NOAA AVHRR NDVI-Path Finder and MODIS data, could explain the macro spatio-temporal distribution and changes of drought. The vegetation cover and drought in the Mongolian Plateau has obvious zonal distribution, and closely related with the Land Use/Land cover types. Drought is common in the Mongolian Plateau, and it is severe drought in some years. There were differences between the changes of TVDI in different regions of different Land Use/Land Cover.

Introduction: China suffers from various disasters for a long time, such as flash floods, debris flows and so on. And China has done a lot of work to control floods. Flash floods and debris flows always occur in mountainous areas. How to move people to safer places? A very important task is to carry out disaster prediction. This report will introduce a new solution for flash floods and debris flows, which is mountain disaster simulation and risk assessment system. The system provides basic data and risk assessment model which are needed for disaster risk analysis, and a variety of online risk assessment tools. In this way, risks can be assessed and risk mapping can be carried out. This system has been used to evaluate disaster risks of the whole Sichuan-Tibet railway, and the evaluation results are with great reference value.
