Heritage and Development of Ningbo Bone-Inlaid Wooden Works

Bone-inlaid wooden art is a very old artistic form that has a strong artistic appeal and local flavor. It can be traced back to the Longshan Culture in the late Neolithic Age, and becomes mature in the late Qing Dynasty. As time lapses, however, bone-inlaid wooden art is gradually out of sight. It was not until June 2008 when Ningbo bone-inlaid wooden art was included in the "second batch of national intangible cultural heritage protection list" that it once again caused social concern. Ningbo bone-inlaid wooden art has a long history, and its craftsmanship is complex. Many bone-inlaid wooden works in Ningbo have been damaged more or less. Therefore, workers in the field of heritage protection should undertake a more systematic protection and repair work based on scientific research, making contributions to the heritage and development of intangible cultural heritage.     

Solution of integrated reflection for cities

The complicated architectural layout and form within urban area lead to the phenomenon of multiple-reflection radiation in the urban area. And this multiple-reflection radiation directly affects the thermal environment in urban areas. This paper is based on the theoretical basis of multiple-reflection between the buildings and converts the problem of urban integrated reflectivity into geometrical parameters which are relevant to the urban spatial structure. At the same time, a case study was taken to obtain an integrated reflectivity which had taken the structure of urban space into account. The results show the integrated reflection is lower 32.4% than the normal situation.
