Tang Chongti is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Tang Chongti rather than just read about it. In short: Tang Chongti (Chinese: 唐崇惕; born November 26, 1929) is a Chinese parasitologist and professor of Xiamen University. In 1991, she was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Key takeaways

Tang Chongti belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Tang Chongti to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Tang Chongti from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Tang Chongti (Chinese: 唐崇惕; born November 26, 1929) is a Chinese parasitologist and professor of Xiamen University. In 1991, she was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. She is mainly engaged in research on pathogenic developmental biology, epidemiology, and prevention of zoonotic parasitic diseases.

Life Tang was born on November 26, 1929, in Fuzhou, Fujian, China. She entered Fujian Union College (now Fujian Normal University) in 1949 and graduated from the Biology Department in 1954 with a bachelor's degree. After graduation, she was assigned to teach at the Department of Biology in East China Normal University. Impacted by the Cultural Revolution, East China Normal University was suspended in 1970, and Tang was sent to work in Shajiang Commune, Xiapu County. In 1972, she was transferred to Xiamen University. Since 1980, she has served as the deputy director of the Parasitology Laboratory of Xiamen University. She was promoted to assistant professor in 1981, qualified as a doctoral thesis advisor in 1985, and promoted to full professor in 1986. In the same year she was promoted to full professor, Tang began research on hepatic hydatids. In 1991, she was elected as a member of the Chinese Science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of Education. In the same year, she was also elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since 1995, Tang has been the director of the Parasitology Laboratory of Xiamen University. In 2010, she began to serve as the director of the Academic Committee of the Key Laboratory of Animal Parasites in Gansu Province.

Honors In 1978, Tang was awarded the Science and Technology Achievement Award of the China Science Conference, and in 1980 she was awarded the Second Prize of Science and Technology by the Fujian Provincial People's Government. In 1982, 1988 and 1990, Tang won the third prize, third prize and fourth prize, respectively, of the State Natural Science Award. In 1986, Tang was awarded the title of "Young Expert with Outstanding Contributions." The following year, she was awarded the May 1st Medal of Fujian Province and the title of "March 8" Red Bannerman in Fujian Province. In 1988, she won the first prize of scientific and technological progress awarded by the State Education Commission. In 1995, she was awarded both the National "March 8" Red Bannerman title and the title of National Education System Model Worker. In 2001, she was awarded the title of National Teacher Ethics Outstanding Individual.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tang Chongti

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tang Chongti claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Tang Chongti before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Tang Chongti ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Tang Chongti

In research: Tang Chongti appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Tang Chongti in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Tang Chongti is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1929 births, Academic staff of Xiamen University, Academic staff of the East China Normal University, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tang Chongti outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
