A popular history-themed TV drama that has caught the public eye with revealing costumes stopped airing Sunday Homme Nike Air Max 97 Ultra Chaussures Triple Noir Soldes , triggering wide speculation, with the station attributing the halt to ""technical problems.""
But analysts have said that the pause may be tied with China's media and television watchdog's strict regulation of revealing images in the media.
""TV drama The Empress of China will stop from Sunday on due to 'technical' reasons but will return to the screen on January 1, 2015,"" said the Hunan TV on its official Sina Weibo account on Saturday.
The highly anticipated TV drama began airing from December 21 exclusively on Hunan TV. It tells the life story of Wu Meiniang, who was the only female emperor in China who ruled for almost half a century during the Tang Dynasty (618-907).
The show drew attention for putting its female actresses in elaborate - and revealing - costumes. The show's first episode broke records for TV drama viewers, with the actresses' low-cut dresses even giving a photographer a nose-bleed during shooting Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Vert Soldes , reported news portal ent.163.
Many speculated that the racy scenes in the show also led the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT) to call for a halt and a revision to the show, as the media watchdog issued a circular requiring video websites to remove headlines with text or pictures referring to sex and nudity in November. It also stipulated that programs depicting extramarital affairs, polyamorous relationship Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Homme Oreo Noir Soldes , one-night stands, sexual abuse, or containing pornographic content should be cut or deleted.
Video depicting rape, fornication, necrophilia, prostitution or masturbation should also be cut Homme Air Max 270 Nike Blanche Soldes , said the SAPPRFT.
Separately, some insiders have said that the pause resulted from a SAPPRFT-imposed quota on historical dramas.
The regulator has stipulated that the number of historical dramas aired during primetime should not exceed 15 percent of the total in 2013.
Zhuang Xihai, a former producer who is now a professor at Southwest University, told the Global Times that the media watchdog's vague definitions for TV drama approval has led to previous cases where TV dramas were pulled off the air after being released.

WELLINGTON Homme Nike Air Max 270 Elemental Or Soldes , May 23 (Xinhua) -- Exposure to earthquakes appears to make many children in quake-prone Christchurch more resistant to other pressures in life, according to a New Zealand study released Tuesday.
Clinical psychologist Maureen Mooney from the Joint Center for Disaster Research of Massey University analyzed children's experiences of Canterbury earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 to determine how they cope with natural disasters.
In her newly completed Ph.D. research, Mooney interviewed 42 children from five schools in Christchurch aged five, nine and 15 years, along with children from several Wellington schools as a comparison group.
"All children were interviewed 20 months after the first earthquake during an ongoing aftershock sequence, and six selected children from Christchurch were interviewed again three years after the initial earthquake Homme Nike Air Max 270 Premium Noir Soldes ," said Mooney, who has confronted crisis situations in Haiti, Cambodia and Sudan.
Mooney, who is also a Red Cross consultant, found that the Christchurch children who dealt most effectively with the earthquakes had multiple coping strategies that they used flexibly, in comparison to the Wellington children who were mainly coping with challenges appropriate to their age.
Children practised how to keep calm and used distraction as a coping strategy when they could not control the situation Chaussures Nike Air Max 270 Light Bone Homme Soldes , but then used a problem-solving strategy when they could have some impact on their circumstances, she said, adding that distractions included playing video games, texting friends or playing sports, and problem-solving included suggestions about what to do in the event of an aftershock.
"They would use the Richter scale with me to say what they could do in a 4.5 or a 6 quake. They had worked out where to go in whatever space they were in as well," she said.
Children who didn't cope so well tended to use avoidance or withdrawal as a way of dealing with a situation Femme Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Noir Blanche Chaussures Soldes , Mooney said, adding that in Christchurch, the parentchild and teacherchild relationship often provided specific protective elements that helped the children during the earthquakes.
