rivulet
4.It reminds you of a placid rivulet, meandering smoohtly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vasty sea; but the sea is so calm, so silent, so infifferent, that you are troubled suddently by a vague uneasiness.
5.Little change in hydrogen and oxygen isotopic composition of rivulet before and after 921 Earthquake in Paikangchi and Nankangchi river basin implied that the earthquake stress might just force the groundwater stored in soil or strata to flow out but did not change the water sources of the two basins.
6.The result showed that: the concentrations ranges of HCHs, DDTs and CBs in the Sl core, collected from Xinan rivulet of Sanshui, were 14.41-49.83 ng·g-1, 32.71-190.65 ng·g-1 and 236.2-1551.7 ng·g-1, respectively;
7.Conspicuously heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopic compositions in Maolouchi river basin after quake suggested that the water source of the rivulet mainly drained from surface runoff subjected to evaporation or the interflow composed with heavier isotopes.
8.Moreover, wooden walking horses invented by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdom Period (220 - 280), automatic horse made by craftsman Yu Lingyu of the Qi of the Southern Dynasties (479 - 502), wood beaver that could fish and then emerge from the water by itself created by Wang Ju of the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907) and wooden mouse-catching device recorded in Meng Xi Bi Tan (the Dream Rivulet Diary) written by Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), all have natures similar to modern robots.
9.Whether snow-capped mountains or verdant plains, its rivulet-woven headstreams or the boundless sea, be it billowing riptide or twinkling calm surface, whether jungles inhabited by wild animals or villages of diversified ethnic groups with rich cultural heritages, sacred Meili Snow Mountain or the Three Parallel Rivers Region, all are naturally bestowed fortunes and ever appealing works of classic beauty.
10.The results showed that phenomena of significant anomalous water flowed out into rivulet and little change of hydrogen and oxygen isotopic compositions were observed in Paikangchi and Nankangchi river basin after quake, while no significant anomalous water flow but heavier composition of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes existed in Maolouchi river basin.
