Explanatory Notes In the articles Chinese (traditional) units are used: 1 mu equals around 1/15 ha 1 Rmb or yuan equals around 1/8 US$ (in 2002) For a good understanding of the articles, it is necessary to give some explanation of the administrative organization of the state and the collective. The Chinese state is divided into two echelons: a national and a local level. The local level includes the province, the municipality or prefecture, and the county. The term ‘collective’ or ‘rural collective’ refers to the successor of the so-called people’s commune that was established in 1958 and disbanded in the mid-1980s. Apart from regional variations, the people’s commune generally consisted of three levels: the commune, the production brigade and the production team. After decollectivization, these were replaced respectively by the township, the administrative village and the natural village or villagers’ group (see figure below). Introduction: The Opening-Up of China’s Countryside JACOB EYFERTH, PETER HO and EDUARD B.VERMEER Peter Ho is Assistant Professor at the Environmental Policy Group of Wageningen University. He has published widely on issues of environment, rural development, institutional change and property rights in China, and is currently working on a monograph entitled Institutions in Transition: Land Ownership, Property Rights and Social Conflict in China. Jacob Eyferth is Assistant Professor for Modern Chinese History at Simon Frazer University, Vancouver. He has been a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Fairbank Center for East Asian Studies at Harvard University and at the Center for Historical Analysis, Rutgers University. Eduard B.Vermeer is Senior Lecturer at the Sinological Institute of Leiden University and Head of the Documentation and Research Centre for Contemporary China. He is a member of several academic advisory committees on China, including the board of the European ChinaAcademic Network at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), London University. The Plenum of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party in December 1978 marked the beginning of the economic reforms and the close of collectivism in the People’s Republic of China. With this, China had embarked on one of world history’s largest experiments in social engineering. The mere size of the country and its population (9.6 million km2 and almost 1.26 billion people in 2000) automatically imply a wide regional diversity in sociological, economic, political, ecological and ethnic terms. In addition, China’s rural development had to start from a weak resource base: the average amount of farmland per capita is only one-third of the world average, while its agrarian society features high hidden unemployment, low levels of education and healthcare, rural poverty, and large shortages in water and energy. When the people’s communes were dismantled in the mid-1980s, this was trumpeted as the ‘second land reform’ as opposed to the ‘first land reform’ during the early years of the People’s Republic. After more than three decades, the use right to rural land was once more returned to the tiller through lease. The lease system, termed the Household Contract Responsibility System, was no policy imposed from above, but sprang from the grassroots of rural society. It was the outcome of regional experiments borne out of dire need in the poverty-ridden county of Fengyang in Anhui province. The people’s commune had definitely failed as an economic and administrative unit. In the last four years before the economic reforms in 1978, grain production had stagnated at a level of around 280 million tons [State Statistical Bureau, 1990:12]. By allowing private lease, the state hoped to stimulate farmers’ incentives that had been dampened by years of collectivism. Shortly after the dismantling of the commune system, the grain harvest Rural development in transitional china 2 reached an all-time record of 400 million tons in 1984. The land lease system replaced the commandist and centralist commune system and privatized agricultural operation. 1 It is no overstatement to say that the past two decades in China have witnessed the fastest change ever and anywhere of a rural economy and society. Over 200 million rural inhabitants have been lifted out of absolute poverty, and tens of millions have become wealthier than the average urban resident. Agricultural output has been growing at a much faster pace than food demand, leaving the Chinese population healthier and better fed than in the past. The impressive growth figures of the Chinese economy were, certainly in the 1990s, to a great extent propelled by the rural (industrial) economy.

    Changes in Traditional Ecological Knowledge of Forage Plants In

    Ma et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2019) 15:65 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-019-0333-0 RESEARCH Open Access Changes in traditional ecological knowledge of forage plants in immigrant villages of Ningxia, China Ying Ma1, Binsheng Luo1, Qiang Zhu2, Dongxing Ma3, Qi Wen4, Jinchao Feng1 and Dayuan Xue1* Abstract Background: Ecological migration serves as an important measure for poverty eradication as well as for the protection, inheritance, and utilization of traditional ecological knowledge. This study investigated and cataloged the traditional forage plant resources and recorded the associated traditional knowledge of immigrant villages in Hongsibu District of Ningxia, China. The diversity of traditional forage plant resources and the changes in associated traditional ecological knowledge were compared among ecological immigrant villages from different emigration areas, with a hope of providing a reference for forage development, the conservation of wild forage plant resources, and the development of regional animal husbandry. Methods: From March 2018 to May 2019, a field investigation was conducted in six villages in Ningxia. Through the snowball technique, a total of 315 immigrants were interviewed using various methods, including semistructured interviews and key person interviews, which included opportunities for free listing. The changes in the utilization of traditional forage plants were compared between the ecological migrants and the original inhabitants, and the causes underlying the changes were analyzed. In addition, the major forage plant species in the research area were investigated and evaluated. Results: (1) The six investigated villages reported 224 traditional forage plant species that belong to 42 families and 150 genera. Compared with their original living areas, the number of traditional forage plant species used in the immigrant villages decreased with the increase in the relocation distance.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 507 Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Education, Language, Art and Inter-cultural Communication (ICELAIC 2020) A Case Study of Ningxia Paper Cuts Culture Yinping Lv1,* Rui Huang2 1School of Foreign Language, Ningxia Normal University, Guyuan, Ningxia 756000, China 2College of Foreign Languages and Cultures, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan 610207, China * Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Yellow River, known as the Mother River in China, is ranked as the root of Chinese traditional culture. The Yellow River runs through Ningxia province and has great influence on its culture. Culture in Ningxia is only one little part in the grand Yellow River culture. The Yellow River provides not only living materials for the localities, but also nurtures the local culture, and influences many special cultures along the river. Paper-cutting is one of the local intangible heritage cultures, which is famous and popular for patterns cut by the common people and some inheritors. Theme of each pattern shows the Yellow River culture in its unique artistic language. This paper aims to illustrate cultural values of the papercuts in Ningxia province according to the papercut patterns' categories, features of humanities spirit in papercut culture from the traditional and modern perspectives, exploring the spiritual life and the idea of the localities by general introduction of the papercuts in the north and south part of Ningxia. Finally, a conclusion is drawn that new innovative ways are adopted for papercut culture' development in the new era. Data in the paper are collected by authors themselves and afforded by the intangible culture inheritors in Ningxia Province.
