  • The Transformation of Yunnan in Ming China from the Dali Kingdom to Imperial Province
    The Transformation of Yunnan in Ming China From the Dali Kingdom to Imperial Province Edited by Christian Daniels and Jianxiong Ma First published 2020 ISBN: 978-0-367-35336-0 (hbk) ISBN: 978-0-429-33078-0 (ebk) 5 Upland leaders of the internal frontier and Ming governance of western Yunnan, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries Christian Daniels (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) Funder: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology 5 Upland leaders of the internal frontier and Ming governance of western Yunnan, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries Christian Daniels1 Introduction Since the publication of James C. Scott’s controversial The Art of Not Being Governed, scholars have increasingly situated Yunnan within the sprawling region known as Zomia.2 The term Zomia refers to a stateless mountainous area that functioned as a place of refuge for ethnic groups attempting to escape encroachment by lowland states. In Zomia, communities preserved their auto- nomy by resisting incorporation into state administrative systems, avoiding paying taxes and refusing to provide lowland states with labour services. Relat- ively large polities emerged in Dali, the political and religious centre of Yunnan in pre-Ming times, the most renowned being the Nanzhao (649–903) and the Dali (937–1253) kingdoms, with their capitals beside Lake Erhai. These lowland poli- ties existed within a framework similar to the lowland–upland dichotomy found in the northern mainland of Southeast Asia. After the Ming conquest of western Yunnan in 1382 and until 1574, upland communities remained outside the ambit of the state in a vast mountainous tract known as Iron Chain Gorge.3 In this chapter, I investigate why the Ming required nearly 200 years to control these upland communities.

  • Community-Based Forest Fire Management in Wenyime Village, Sanchahe Township, Dayao County, Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China
    China Community-Based Forest Fire Management in Wenyime Village, Sanchahe Township, Dayao County, Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China By Zhang Lichang, Wu Long, Zhao Yaqiao and Lu Caizhen; October 2001 Center for Community Development Studies (CDS), 133 Qixiang Road, Kunming, Yunnan 650032, China; E-mail: [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY China had an average of 15 619 forest fire events each year since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 until 1990. Yunnan is one of the country’s key national forest areas. It is rich in forest resources, but also very prone to fire. Every year, more than 2 700 forest fire events occur, destroying 1.7 million ha of forest. Of the many natural disasters in Yunnan, fire has had the most pronounced influence on forest cover. Although forest fires are difficult to prevent altogether, proper management and control can reduce their occurrence and spread, or at least minimize the damage that they cause. The Chinese Communist Party and Government in Dayao county have paid great attention to forest fire management, especially after the Daxinganling forest fire in 1987. A collaborative effort between government and communities in the county has led to significant achievements, culminating in Dayao county being awarded a prize for advanced forest fire management by Yunnan Provincial Government in 1992. This case study investigates the village of Wenyime in Dayao county, Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, where villagers have shown a profound understanding of fire prevention and control and have participated voluntarily in fire management. The effect of such community-based fire management (CBFiM) has been beneficial to both villagers and government.
