   • 2017, YANG, Bai-Cun; et al., “Seismic hazard assessment in the Xiongan New Area”, in Chinese Journal of Geophysics‎^[1], volume 60, number 12, →DOI, →ISSN, →OCLC:

     Applying the empirical formulas of seismic intensity presented by some scholars, we evaluate the seismic intensity in the Xiongan New Area when the characteristic earthquake and the preshocks in the Tangshan seismic zone and the preshocks in the Yuncheng seismic zone occur in the future, respectively. The present result suggests that the seismic fortification intensity in the Xiongan New Area in the next 50 years should be adjusted from original 7 degree to 8 degree.

   • 2020 June 3, Yujie Wang, et al., “Climate-related risks in the construction of Xiongan New Area, China”, in Theoretical and Applied Climatology‎^[5], volume 141, →DOI, →ISSN, →OCLC:

     A warming and drying trend was seen in Xiongan New Area during 1961–2018, as evidenced by the increase in the number of high-temperature days and the maximum rainfall intensity per hour, a decrease in surface water resources and groundwater levels, a reduction in wind speeds, and weakening of the self-purification capacity of the atmosphere. It is estimated that the areas at high risk of floods and heats will increase by 15.7 and 15.6% in around 2035 relative to 1986–2005, respectively. Although the runoff in the Daqing River Basin will increase, the construction of Xiongan New Area means that the imbalance between the supply and demand of water resources will remain. Climate change adaptation measures should therefore be improved in the planning and construction of Xiongan New Area.

使用する際の注意点

Xiongan can be considered a misspelling of Xiong'an. In theory, a syllable-dividing mark (隔音符號／隔音符号 (géyīn fúhào)) should be added before a non-initial syllable beginning with a, o, or e. Hence, Xiongan is not allowed since a word made up of xiong and an would be spelled as Xiong'an (cf. Xiong'an). In practice, syllable-dividing marks are often added or omitted at will.
