As the geological structure of the Ryukyu Islands belong to "oceanic crust", the Diaoyu Islands are "continental crust" that makes a significant difference in between those two. Also, the Diaoyu Islands has one of the largest scale of continental reef layer that contains an abundant amount of river deposits such as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and is therefore potentially rich in oil. The Diaoyu islands are considerably much more strategic | 156 | 601 |
21014702 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | in both military and economic value due to the position where they are located. First of all, they benefit the fishers as in the sea around the islands offers rich fishing grounds that include a large population of Bonito and more than hundred kinds of other fishes. In addition to that, they are lied to near potential oil reserves (about 100-160 billion barrels), and other energy resource such as manganese, cobait, nickel, and natural gas (hydrocarbon). Even, some medicine resource like Statice Arbuscula (for Chinese medicine use) can be found there. For strategic significance, it holds a value of sea-lane | 155 | 613 |
21014703 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | security because of the rising competition between US and China for military primacy in the Asia-Pacific region. It secures the international trade and maintains the moral and legal ground for other countries’ claims over the land. Last but not least, the Diaoyu islands are close to important shipping lines, which contributes another help for a country’s economic. The Diaoyu Islands were first discovered, named and used by China. In the Southern Song Dynasty (1171), Wang Dayou, who originally guarded Fujian Province, had established a military camp in Penghu, and sent his troops to control them. Taiwan and its affiliated islands, | 153 | 637 |
21014704 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | including the Diaoyu Islands, Liu Dao, and Lan Yu, were all under the jurisdiction of Penghu and administered by the Province that Wang Dayou ruled. Among all the documents that mentioned about the Diaoyu Islands, the earliest written record was existed in a book called "The Winds of the Winds" in 1403. Later in the 14th century, Ming and Qing dynasties’ emperor sent their ambassadors in order to assure the geographical location of the Diaoyu Islands. According to the historical document written at that certain period, the earliest record was in the 13th year of Ming Jiajing (1534). During the | 159 | 600 |
21014705 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | Jiajing Period of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates invaded China’s southeast coast of China frequently. China was forced to implement effective jurisdiction over the Diaoyu Islands and other islands and patrolled the sea. In the 40th year of Ming Jiajing (1561), Zheng Ruozeng’s "Wanli Coastal Defense Map" included the Diaoyu Islands and eventually recognized these islands as a part of their coastal defense system. In the Qing Dynasty’s royal history inspection report of Taiwan and local compilation of the Fujian Province, they claimed Taiwan was officially ruled under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty in the 22nd year of Kangxi | 158 | 640 |
21014706 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | (1683), and the Diaoyu Islands were considered as the subsidiary islands of Taiwan. In the 10th year of Tongzhi (1871), the Annals of Fujian Prefecture (Fu Jian Fu Zhi) emphasized the authority of the Diaoyu islands, and later on listed the Diaoyu islands were supposed to be under the jurisdiction of Gumalan (current Yilan district)-- local government of Taiwan. Based on the official historical documents, such as A Tour of Duty in the Taiwan Strait (Tai Hai Shi Cha Lu) and Annals of Taiwan Prefecture (Tai Wan Fu Zhi), and the continuous proclamation of the Qing Dynasty, the Diaoyu islands | 166 | 595 |
21014707 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | were determined to be a part of Taiwan and was subject to its jurisdiction. The Diaoyu Islands did not only act as the location of coastal security, they were classified as the administrative division of Taiwan, which also fully demonstrates China's effective jurisdiction during Ming and Qing’s dynasty. The historical facts above fully prove that the Diaoyu Islands was a territory of China and an island of Taiwan, and did not belong to Ryukyu. This fact, before 1884, Japan and the Ryukyu officials had admitted. However, until 1885, the situation began to change: Japan deliberately tried to seize the Diaoyu | 154 | 613 |
21014708 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | Islands. In the early 1895 while Japan and China were fighting the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese central government annexed the Diaoyu Islands. On the same year of April 17th, the Qing Minister Li Hongzhang and the Japanese Prime Minister Itō Hirobumi signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" in Chunfan Building. In the Article 2 of the Treaty, it mentioned that China would cede its sovereignty of "the whole island of Taiwan and all its affiliated islands" and the Penghu Islands to Japan. Although the treaty clearly defined the scope of the Penghu Islands by latitude and longitude, the scope of | 164 | 602 |
21014709 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | Taiwan had not been determined. By June 3rd, 1895, when China officially ceded Taiwan to Japan, Japan government did not enumerate the affiliated islands of Taiwan. Around 1900, Koga Tatsushiro, an entrepreneur from Japan, established a bonito fish processing plant on the islands. Nevertheless, the islands remained deserted ever since his business failed in 1940. In the 1970s, the son of Koga Tatsushirō and his wife Hanako sold four islets to the Kurihara family of Saitama Prefecture. After Japan surrendered and ended World War II, the Diaoyu Islands went under United States government occupation in 1945. In the "Japanese Instrument | 177 | 640 |
21014710 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | of Surrender", Japan only hold the sovereignty over the four main islands. In 1969, the United Nations Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (ECAFE) identified potential oil and gas reserves around the Diaoyu Islands. In 1972, the "Okinawa Reversion Treaty" passed the U.S. Senate “accidentally”, which resulted to return these islands back to Japanese control. At the same time, the Republic of China (Taiwan) government and People's Republic of China government started declaring the ownership of the Diaoyu islands. The Chinese government has consistently claimed that the Diaoyu Islands are the territory of China and used the historical | 163 | 649 |
21014711 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | facts above as evidence. In fact, in the fifteenth century, international law was not yet born. It is difficult for people to judge the behavior at that time without the existence of legal principles. However, based on the international law nowadays: According to the facts recorded in the historical documents, China's sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands was based on its discovery, naming, use, and then effective enforcement. The Diaoyu Islands were not non-ownership land in 1885. They are considered as the affiliated islands that belong under the jurisdiction of Taiwan (specifically Gumalan district). From the 18th to the 19th century, | 158 | 643 |
21014712 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | the maps of China and foreign countries also stated the Diaoyu Islands were Chinese territory. Therefore, the claim of Japan that sovereignty is based on "preemption" in international law is not established in this case. The preoccupied object must be "terra nullius". But, for more than three hundred years before 1895, the Diaoyu Islands were Taiwan’s islands and not a part of the Ryukyu islands. There are actual documents that bound on Japan to international law: the "Cairo Declaration", the "Potsdam Proclamation", the "Japanese Instrument of Surrender", and the "Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty". The ""Cairo Declaration"" signed in November 1943 has | 170 | 653 |
21014713 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | clearly stated:“It is their purpose that Japan shall be stripped of all the islands in the Pacific which she has seized or occupied since the beginning of the first World War in 1914, and that all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as Manchuria, Formosa, and The Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of China. Japan will also be expelled from all other territories which she has taken by violence and greed.”The Article 8 of ""Potsdam Proclamation"" has mentioned:"The terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out and Japanese sovereignty shall be limited to the | 153 | 599 |

21014715 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | Peace Treaty (Treaty of Taipei)"" signed between China and Japan in Taipei in 1952, Japan gave up its sovereignty over Taiwan and Penghu:“It is recognised that under Article 2 of the Treaty of Peace which Japan signed at the city of San Francisco on 8 September 1951 (hereinafter referred to as the San Francisco Treaty), Japan has renounced all right, title, and claim to Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores) as well as the Spratley Islands and the Paracel Islands.” “The disposition of property of Japan and its nationals in Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores), and their claims, including | 172 | 608 |
21014716 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | debts, against the authorities of the Republic of China in Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores) and the residents thereof, and the disposition in Japan of property of such authorities and residents and their claims, including debts, against Japan and its nationals, shall be the subject of special arrangements between the Government of the Republic of China and the Government of Japan. The terms nationals and residents include juridical persons.” In international law, there is a concept of "intertemporal law." That is, for ancient international events, the law of "at the time" should be used to judge its effectiveness, rather | 155 | 640 |
21014717 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | than applying "current" law. In result, when a dispute occurs or International law at the time of the trial. In this connection, according to the international law that passed through Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Republic of China should hold the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands. According to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they stated that the Diaoyu Islands are a part of Japan due to their historical facts. The following points are given by them to prove their belief of non existence issue of territorial sovereignty to be resolved concerning the Diaoyu Islands: In 2012, one | 148 | 613 |
21014718 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | the former House of Representatives in the Diet, Osamu Fujima, announced that Japan will named the “thirty-nine” uninhabited islands (including the ones around the Daioyu Islands), which later caused China protest about it. However, they still insisted doing it and refuse the proposal of sharing the resources together equally presented by Taiwan and China. Until now, they keep sending water police and shipments over time in order to protect their ownership and increase the ocean security around the islands. After 1949, due to the sovereignty dispute between the Government of the Republic of China and the Government of the People’s | 149 | 638 |
21014719 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | Republic of China, the diplomatic relations between the Republic of China and Japan, and the Japan-China Joint Communique, the Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China never united and advocate the Diaoyu Islands together. They depended on their respective diplomacy and delivered actions individually. Nonetheless, both of them claimed the sovereignty of Diaoyu Islands through the evidence of their history, jurisprudence, and geography. The People’s Republic of China thought that Japan has illegally occupied the islands after the Sino-Japanese War and should not be recognized. After the end of the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist | 152 | 666 |
21014720 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | Party, the governments on both sides were somehow limited by the recovery. Although China believed the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands were theirs, the suppression of the United States and Japan had hesitated them to fight the right to rule over the islands back. In 2000, with an increase of its national strength, China started officially and actively declaring the sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. While the Japan-China Joint Communique happened in 2012, the government of China sent marine security vessels around the islands to assert “their” sovereignty. And, two years ago, in order to strengthen the control of the | 150 | 628 |
21014721 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | Diaoyu Islands and its surrounding water, except the regularly patrols, China also showed its power of managing the land. At the same year In August, 15 Chinese marine security vessels and more than 200 Chinese fishing boats appeared on the ocean near the Diaoyu Islands. The Chinese marine police carried out protection, management and law enforcement on these fishing boats, which eventually led to the protest from the Japanese government. After the US State Department returned the Diaoyu Islands to Japan with Ryukyu in 1972, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan issued a solemn statement, stating that the Diaoyu | 150 | 623 |
21014722 | "The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan" | Islands are affiliated to Taiwan. Taiwan firmly opposed the action of U.S. “returning” the Ryukyu Islands and the Diaoyu Islands. According to geographical location, geological structure, historical links and the long-term continued use of Taiwan residents, Taiwanese government believe they are a part of the territory of the Republic of China. Ever since from then, Taiwan has always been protesting the sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. Since the first official fishery meeting between Taiwan and Japan in August 1996, over the past ten years, sixteen meetings have been conducted on fishery disputes over overlapping economic sea areas. The government even | 154 | 663 |

Their main goals are: On July 26, 2010, Taiwanese Ministry of the Interior stated that no matter it is the investigation and construction of the surrounding sea area, the revision and research of the exclusive economic zone, or the investigation of the island reef and the mapping process, the Government adheres to the basic principle of "sovereignty is ours, never give in."

The painting is somewhat damaged, and also seems to have been subject to significant changes of intention during the process of painting. It was one of the large group of paintings bought by Charles I of England from the collection of Vincenzo II, last of the Gonzaga Dukes of Mantua in 1628. The painted surface measures 73.6 x 120.3 cm. The main figures are all in a crowd at the left | 150 | 565 |

This "eccentric" composition, "most unusual for an Adoration", may be explained by the painting having started out as a "Rest on the Flight into Egypt", without the shepherds. This was the suggestion of John Shearman in his catalogue. Cariani, especially in his early period, had a taste for wide horizontal compositions, and also overlapping figures at the front of the picture space. The extensive landscape is of the world landscape type, mostly found in | 137 | 604 |
21014744 | "Adoration of the Shepherds (Cariani)" | northern paintings at this early date. This was being developed by Joachim Patinir in Antwerp, and if the painting is dated to 1515-1517, Cariani was remarkably quick in using it. Details of the landscape are re-used in later paintings by Cariani, and an interest in German art becomes unmistakable in some later works of his. Here the "angular poses of the figures and the nervous quality of the highlights" may show an early interest. A landscape of lakes and hills is characteristic of Cariani's native "Bergamesca" region.

Three angels are ranged behind the Virgin and Child, and another emerges from a cloud above this group.

Giovanni Cariani (c. 1485 after 1547) was probably a native of Bergamo, or just outside the city, and spent his career there or in Venice, where he formed part of a group of Lombard artists, led by Palma Vecchio, also from Bergamo, and including Girolamo Savoldo from Brescia.

He was in Venice by 1508, but was back in Bergamo by 1517, remaining there until he returned to Venice in 1523. The early history of the painting rests on a "CR" ("Carolus Rex", "King Charles") branded on the back of the poplar panel, and a label "now almost illegible", reading "From Mantua / 1628 / No. 153". However, it is not clearly recorded in the incomplete lists of either the Gonzaga collection or that of Charles I. It is "probably" recorded in inventories of Charles II in | 154 | 560 |
21014748 | "Adoration of the Shepherds (Cariani)" | 1666-7 and James II in 1688. The painting, like very many others, was attributed to Giorgione until Cariani was suggested by Crowe and Cavalcaselle in the later 19th century. This has been generally accepted as the painting shows many characteristic traits found in his paintings. Adoration of the Shepherds (Cariani) The Adoration of the Shepherds by Giovanni Cariani is a panel painting of about 1515-1517, now in the Royal Collection of the United Kingdom.
