Tomb M38 at the Zhaizita stone-walled site in North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Photo: Xinhua News AgencyChinese archaeologists have discovered the earliest known pairing of dragon and phoenix clay sculptures in northern China, unearthed from a 4,300-year-old tomb in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, offering fresh insight into the ritual beliefs of the Longshan culture (3000 to 1900 BC), the Xinhua News Agency reported on Wednesday. The two figurines were placed symmetrically on either side of a skeleton in a rectangular earth-pit tomb at the Zhaizita stone-walled site, a major Longshan culture settlement spanning 420,000 square meters in Inner Mongolia's Jungar Banner, Ordos City. Radiocarbon dating places the burial at approximately 2300 BC, during the late Neolithic Longshan culture, per Xinhua. Sun Jinsong, head of the Inner Mongolia Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, told the Global Times that the tomb owner was buried lying face-up with limbs extended and head pointing northeast. A turquoise-inlaid jade disc rested near the right side of the body's neck. The dragon-shaped clay piece was positioned on the right side of the body, aligned with the head, while the phoenix-shaped piece on the left was rendered as if soaring upward. Stable isotope analysis of dental enamel collagen revealed a diet based on millet agriculture but with an unusually high intake of animal protein or special food resources. "The findings indicate the tomb owner possessed prominent social status and privileged material resources during their lifetime," Sun said. Sun emphasized the discovery rewrites the timeline of tangible dragon-phoenix symbolism in northern China. "This is the earliest and most clearly defined dragon-phoenix combination found in northern China so far. It pushes back the materialized representation of dragon and phoenix to the Longshan era," Sun said. "The find provides precious material for studying the spiritual beliefs and funeral concepts of the Longshan people." Sun added that the discovery underscores the unique contributions of the Hetao region - the great bend of the Yellow River - to early spiritual and cultural creativity in China, supporting the view that Chinese civilization developed through a pattern of unity in diversity. According to media reports, the Longshan culture is renowned for advanced stone city construction, sophisticated handicraft techniques and mature ritual systems across the Yellow River basin. Perched along the Yellow River basin, the Zhaizita stone-walled site ranks among the earliest known stone-enclosed fortress and ceremonial sites in northern China. 。北京时间1月12日消息,戴尔科技的重新上市使CEO迈克尔·戴尔的财富增加了120亿美元。
B | 戴尔首席执行官迈克尔•戴尔(Michael Dell)以通过当时新颖的互联网以低价销售个人电脑而闻名。2013年,当个人电脑销量下降时,他脱离了华尔街,将公司私有化,脱离了公开市场。当时,他在戴尔的股份只有38亿美元。随后,他重建了公司,并将一家低成本的个人电脑制造商戴尔转变为一家多元化的技术巨头。上个月,戴尔在纽约证券交易所重新上市。现在,他持有戴尔170亿美元的股份,比2013年翻了三倍。“戴尔的个人财富稳步增长。”戴尔的一位发言人在一份电子邮件声明中说:“在过去的六年里,公司已经转变为一家必要的基础设施提供商,年收入达900亿美元,财务表现优异,拥有领先的端到端技术解决方案组合。”戴尔的私有化已成为科技行业历史上最大的杠杆收购交易,并有望成为最有利可图的私募股权交易之一。数据显示,戴尔的个人净资产为270亿美元,比2013年的150亿美元增加了120亿美元。他的发言人拒绝置评。他的财富由投资公司默沙东资本管理。MSD Capital成立于1998年,是最有经验的家族理财办公室之一,拥有收购公司和管理内部对冲基金的专业知识和资本。戴尔个人财富的增长生动地反映了这位亿万富翁如何通过私有化成功地重塑了他的公司。在此过程中,他重新控制了公司。当戴尔摘牌时,他拥有公司大约15%的股份。在将大约80亿美元投资于股票和现金用于私有化交易之后,他现在拥有公司一半的股权和四分之三的投票权。
