China’s economy was also at an unfavourable stage of “triple transition”, during which the economic growth decelerated with mounting downward pressure. In the meantime, the Company also faced with complicated and severe situations such as price reduction in wind power, declining demand of natural gas and difficulties encountered by infrastructure projects. The Board of Directors of the Company strived for making progress while maintaining stability, proactively responding to market changes and making preparations and plans so as to direct all employees to unite together and forge ahead. We also continued to speed up the process to seize market resources inside and outside the province, accelerated the progress of project construction and expanded the domestic and overseas financing channels, which greatly enhanced internal management and steadily optimized the business structure of the Company. In 2015, the Group realized total sales of wind and photovoltaic power generation of 2,974 million kWh; sold 1,127 million cubic meters of natural gas; realized revenue of RMB4,224 million, total profit of RMB200 million and net profit of RMB189 million, of which the net profit attributable to the owners of the Group amounted to RMB168 million. Looking forward to 2016, the Group will continue to vigorously develop clean energy businesses such as gas, wind power and solar energy so as to consolidate and expand its market structure of diversified business; speed up the professional management of project construction and promote the production and operation of Approved Projects as soon as possible; expand the domestic and overseas financing channels and attract low-cost capital to be used for project construction; continue to optimize internal management and promote the construction of “informative and standardized” operation and maintenance; strive to become a listed company with more solid foundation in basic management, more reasonable business structure, more diversified sources of profit growth and healthier and more sustainable development capacity to create greater values for shareholders and partner.

This tradition was once suspended after the establishment of P.R.C., but it revived and thrived after the reform and opening-up. Temple festivals are a kind of renao (热闹, heat-noise) events in rural life, and the organizers of temple festivals pursue the effect of renao as much as possible. Renao is a popular life condition welcomed by people; meanwhile, it can be regarded as an important exterior indicator of the efficacy of deities. Hence holding temple festivals and make renao at them provides an opportunity not only for people to experience and enjoy renao, but to acknowledge, publicize, and even produce the efficacy of deities. These sacred and secular rewards can partly account for the enduring resilience and vitality of the local tradition of holding temple festivals.

    Rural China: An International Journal of History and Social Science 13 (2016) 240-287 brill.com/rchs The Nation-State, the Contract Responsibility System, and the Economy of Temple Incense: The Politics and Economics of a Temple Festival on a Landscaped Holy Mountain Yongyi Yue* School of Chinese Language and Literature, Beijing Normal University, China [email protected] 民族国家、承包制与香火经济: 景区化圣山庙会的政治-经济学 岳永逸 Abstract Belief practices in mainland China have been subject to contracts as a result of a combination of factors: politics, economic growth, cultural development, and historic preservation. Thanks to the investigative reporting of the media, “contracting out belief” has lost all legitimacy on the level of politics, culture, religion, administration, and morality. The economy of temple incense has been re- lentlessly criticized for the same reason. In recent decades, Mount Cangyan, in Hebei, has changed from being a sacred site of pilgrimage to a landscaped tourist attraction. At the same time, the Mount Cangyan temple festival, which centers on the worship of the Third Princess, has gained legitimacy on a practical level. Conventional and newly emerged agents, such as beggars, charlatans, spirit me- diums, do-gooders, and contractors of the temple, are actively involved in the thriving temple fes- tival, competing, and sometimes cooperating, with each other. However, it is for the sake of maxi- mizing profit that landscaped Mount Cangyan under the contract responsibility system has been re-sanctified around the worship of the Third Princess along with other, new gods and attractions. The iconic temple festival on this holy mountain has influenced other temple festivals in various nearby * Yue Yongyi is a professor of the Institute of Folk Literature, School of Chinese Language and Lit- erature, Beijing Normal University, and an associate editor of the Cambridge Journal of China Studies.
