Topic: 
"On Several Classical Number Theory Problems"

Abstract:  
Chinese classical mathematics was deeply related with number theory, such as Chinese Remainder Theorem (we call it Qin Jiushao Theorem).  Inspired by the Ying-Yang idea and the ABC conjecture, we raise the variants of several classical number theory problems, which are the combination of additive and multiplicative equations, e.g., perfect number problem, Waring's problem, Fermat's Last Theorem and Hilbert's 8th problem.
