Historic monuments




Stone arch bridge in Leshan




Buddhist carvings in Leshan.




Buddha Leshan


In 1996, the Mount Emei Scenic Area, including the Leshan Giant Buddha, the largest stone-carved buddha in the world, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.


Mount Emei is located within the county-level city of Emeishan, which is under the administrative jurisdiction of Leshan.


The ancestral home of Chinese writer, academic and politician Guo Moruo is preserved in the Shawan District of Leshan.[3]



Culture



Dialect


The Leshan dialect, part of the Southern linguistic system, is very different from the dialects of other cities in the province of Sichuan, which belong to the Northern system. Some researchers say the pronunciation of Leshan dialect represents an archaic form of Chinese pronunciation.



Food


Falling into the Sichuan cuisine family, Leshan is noted for its food culture in that it has all the street food from its surrounding areas, which has made it the one-stop street food city. Typical specialties include:


  • Ma-La-Tang 麻辣烫 - Hot and spicy soup

  • Bo-Bo-Ji 钵钵鸡 - Bobo chicken

  • Shao-Kao 烧烤 - Street barbecue

  • Qian-Wei Bao-Bing 犍为薄饼 - Qianwei Pancakes

  • Dou-Fu-nao 豆腐脑 -


Transport


There is a passenger rail line that serves the Mianyang–Chengdu–Leshan inter-city area.


The Chengdu-Leshan Freeway with a total length of 160 kilometers, was finished on January 14, 2000. This Freeway has since become very important to the city's development.



Education


Leshan Normal University and Leshan Vocational & Technical College are two government-fund colleges in the city.

PySpark count values by condition

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP PySpark count values by condition I have a DataFrame, a snippet here: [['u1', 1], ['u2', 0]] basically one string ('f') and either a 1 or a 0 for second element ('is_fav'). What I need to do is grouping on the first field and counting the occurrences of 1s and 0s. I was hoping to do something like num_fav = count((col("is_fav") == 1)).alias("num_fav") num_nonfav = count((col("is_fav") == 0)).alias("num_nonfav") df.groupBy("f").agg(num_fav, num_nonfav) It does not work properly, I get in both cases the same result which amounts to the count for the items in the group, so the filter (whether it is a 1 or a 0) seems to be ignored. Does this depend on how count works? count 1 Answer 1 There is no filter here.
