Shields (2002) explains that in the Tang dynasty the category of poems of mourning for a dead wife was ‘neither new nor controversial’ (p. 69). The earliest examples of daowang poems by women mourning the deaths of their husbands are from the Ming dynasty (Fong, 2008). Gu Ruopu wrote an elegy for her husband in seven poems (Robertson, 1992).

Five palisaded enclosures have been identified in Scotland, including the one at Forteviot (Noble and Brophy, 2011a). A major ceremonial complex at Forteviot, similar to Stonehenge, has been revealed through excavations and aerial photography (Noble and Brophy, 2011b). However, earlier excavations at Forteviot did not reveal anything like a royal hall (Alcock and Alcock, 1992).

Sirkin, Keenan and Jackson (2005) found a correlation between the outcomes of change programs and four factors (duration, integrity, commitment and effort), while Vrtana, Rosnerova and Krizanova (2021) propose a different behavioural model of change management.
