William HanHOST
Kublai Khan approved the plan, which came to be known as the Measurements Across the Four Seas.
William HanHOST
Guo Shoujing personally led the construction of the observation at Dengfeng in Henan, and using the old instruments left over from the Song and Jing dynasties as models, Guo Shoujing constructed new astronomical instruments.
William HanHOST
14 astronomers were assigned to Guo Shoujing's team, and they and their assistants and staff fanned out across the empire to a total of 27 locations to make observations at different latitudes.
William HanHOST
The observatory in the farthest north was at Beihai, literally North Sea, but it wasn't the sea, but rather deep into Siberia.
Laszlo MontgomeryHOST
Bai Qi began his rise up the Qin ladder in 294 BC.
Laszlo MontgomeryHOST
As the Zuo Shu Zhang, or Left Militia General, he achieved his first major victory defeating the Han and Wei states where today's Yichuan County is located in Henan, just south of Luoyang near the famous Longmen Grottoes.

Han and Wei were Qin's neighbors to the east, and they had to go.

Mr.
FeifeiHOST
But now with the new national regulation, the schools cannot make that decision that easy.
Steve HatherlyHOST
Speaking of passing from one student to another, is it Zhengzhou in Henan?
FeifeiHOST
Yeah.
Steve HatherlyHOST
There's a primary school there.
YushanHOST
Yeah, and also there are cases.
YushanHOST
It's not like every single of such railway where Metro built is receiving a lot of revenue, because there are cases such as the Zhengzhou and Kaifeng Intercity Railway located in central China's Henan Province that proves to be actually kind of an awkward planning in the first place, because in 2025, the local media in Henan Province, they've been sparking up heated debates over whether that line should adopt metro-style operations because it's over nearly actually 50 kilometers long and it connects the two major cities, Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, along with a series of other important stations between the two points.
YushanHOST
And it was already open for operation in December 2014.
YushanHOST
But data shows that in 2019, it carried just 10% of the total passenger traffic between the two cities.

BenHOST

BenHOST
So it's south of the Ohio River.
BenHOST
And Henan is south of the Yellow River there in central China.
