Datong or Tatung (both: dä`t  ng), city (1994 est. pop. 845,000), N Shanxi prov., China. It is an important industrial and railway center in a region of great coal deposits. A major, highly mechanized coal mine is there. Manufactures are a mix of light and heavy industrial products. As Pingchang, the city was (5th–6th cent.) the capital of the Northern Wei kingdom. Nearby limestone grottoes at Yungang contain Buddhist art from the 5th and 6th cent. |

Also, "Datong xian weibao qianyi xianshu riqicheng" [Report of Datong County concerning the Date of the County Seat Move] (March 25, 1914), HS, 420. Because the influential weekly Bing Dian published views the Communist Party considered unfavorable, authorities shut the newspaper down, a move that prompted a strong but futile protest from Editor Li Datong. In images such as Two Miners, Datong, Shanxi Province, 1996, or Xinjiang Girl Working in a Textile Factory, Hetian, Xinjiang Province, 1996, labor is sordidly, hauntingly personified, while in Two Rich Men on New Year's Eve, Beijing, 1999, and A Chinese Girl with a Foreign Friend, Beijing, 1996, its effects are likewise sharply drawn. |
