  • Chapter 5 Sinicization and Indigenization: the Emergence of the Yunnanese
    Between Winds and Clouds Bin Yang Chapter 5 Sinicization and Indigenization: The Emergence of the Yunnanese Introduction As the state began sending soldiers and their families, predominantly Han Chinese, to Yunnan, 1 the Ming military presence there became part of a project of colonization. Soldiers were joined by land-hungry farmers, exiled officials, and profit-driven merchants so that, by the end of the Ming period, the Han Chinese had become the largest ethnic population in Yunnan. Dramatically changing local demography, and consequently economic and cultural patterns, this massive and diverse influx laid the foundations for the social makeup of contemporary Yunnan. The interaction of the large numbers of Han immigrants with the indigenous peoples created a 2 new hybrid society, some members of which began to identify themselves as Yunnanese (yunnanren) for the first time. Previously, there had been no such concept of unity, since the indigenous peoples differentiated themselves by ethnicity or clan and tribal affiliations. This chapter will explore the process that led to this new identity and its reciprocal impact on the concept of Chineseness. Using primary sources, I will first introduce the indigenous peoples and their social customs 3 during the Yuan and early Ming period before the massive influx of Chinese immigrants. Second, I will review the migration waves during the Ming Dynasty and examine interactions between Han Chinese and the indigenous population. The giant and far-reaching impact of Han migrations on local society, or the process of sinicization, that has drawn a lot of scholarly attention, will be further examined here; the influence of the indigenous culture on Chinese migrants—a process that has won little attention—will also be scrutinized.

    Taiwan Lecture Series Working Papers Online (TLS WPO) No. 1 (July 2010) The Plausible Asian Schools of International Relations: Hypothesizing Non-interventionism By Shi Chih-yu Publisher: Institute of Chinese Studies University of Heidelberg Akademiestraße 4-8 69117 Heidelberg E-Mail: [email protected] The Plausible Asian Schools of International Relations: Hypothesizing Non/interventionism Presented at the Conference on Sovereignty and Humanitarian Intervention in the International Society of East Asia – Historical Legacies and New Dynamics Modern East Asia Research Centre Leiden University Leiden University College, The Hague June 10-12, 2010 Chih-yu Shih Department of Political Science National Taiwan University 21 Hsu Chow Road, Taipei, Taiwan 100 Abstract Asian intellectuals do not celebrate the coming end of history through the triumphant establishment of a sovereign nation state in their communities. Rather, they invariably treat nation states as civilizational agents adapting to pressures and changes. The following discussion will survey samples of societal norms in the literature that are explicitly as well implicitly plausible candidates for a different IR perspective embedded in civilizational politics. The paper searches for those narrative candidates for indigenous Asian Schools of IR, including both the contentious Chinese and Japanese alternatives and the non-resistant Indian, Australian, Korean and Taiwanese alternatives to show the role of civilization in the conceptualization of plausible Asian Schools of IR and how they allude to a universal IR. Then the paper picks up the case of China to illustrate how epistemologically indigenous schools of IR in Asia are nevertheless not ―international,‖ and hypothesizes accordingly why the Chinese school of IR is arguably uninterested in intervention in view of wrongdoing.

  • Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties
    WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 1004.pdf UNESCO Region: ASIA AND THE PACIFIC __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties DA TE OF INSCRIPTION: 2nd December 2000 STATE PARTY: CHINA CRITERIA: C (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Criterion (i):The harmonious integration of remarkable architectural groups in a natural environment chosen to meet the criteria of geomancy (Fengshui) makes the Ming and Qing Imperial Tombs masterpieces of human creative genius. Criteria (ii), (iii) and (iv):The imperial mausolea are outstanding testimony to a cultural and architectural tradition that for over five hundred years dominated this part of the world; by reason of their integration into the natural environment, they make up a unique ensemble of cultural landscapes. Criterion (vi):The Ming and Qing Tombs are dazzling illustrations of the beliefs, world view, and geomantic theories of Fengshui prevalent in feudal China. They have served as burial edifices for illustrious personages and as the theatre for major events that have marked the history of China. The Committee took note, with appreciation, of the State Party's intention to nominate the Mingshaoling Mausoleum at Nanjing (Jiangsu Province) and the Changping complex in the future as an extention to the Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS The Ming and Qing imperial tombs are natural sites modified by human influence, carefully chosen according to the principles of geomancy (Fengshui) to house numerous buildings of traditional architectural design and decoration. They illustrate the continuity over five centuries of a world view and concept of power specific to feudal China.

Webster-Cheng 2008 iii Composing, Revising, and Performing Suzhou Ballads: a Study of Political Control and Artistic Freedom in Tanci, 1949-1964 Stephanie J. Webster-Cheng, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2008 This dissertation explores the dynamics of political control of the arts and artistic freedom in the musical storytelling art of Suzhou tanci between 1949 and 1964, years marked by extensive revision of traditional performance repertoire, widespread creation of new, contemporary-themed stories, and composition of boldly innovative ballad music. I examine four stories and ballads either composed or revised during this time, looking broadly at the role of the State in the creative process. I consider the role of high-ranking officials whose personal comments to artists shaped their creative processes, and the role of societal political pressure placed on artists through political movements and shifting trends in the dramatic arts.

The tourist movement patterns in travelogues can help others when planning trips, or understanding how people travel within certain regions. The trajectory data in travelogues might include tourist attractions, restaurants and other locations. In addition, all travelogues generate a trajectory, which has a large volume. The variety and volume of trajectory data make it very hard to directly find patterns contained within them. Moreover, existing work about movement patterns has only explored the simple semantic information, without considering using visualization to find hidden information. We propose a multilevel visual analytical method to help find movement patterns in travelogues. The data characteristic of a single travelogue are different from multiple travelogues. When exploring a single travelogue, the individual movement patterns comprise our main concern, like semantic information. While looking at many travelogues, we focus more on the patterns of population movement.

Permanent link to this version: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:oru:diva-90695 Accepted version Smoking and the City: A Travelogue in Yuxi Gareth Davey * and Xiang Zhao We narrate our travel in a city with a prominent tobacco company to contribute to the literature on smoking and place. We show that in Yuxi, the location of the Hongta Group, China’s largest tobacco manufacturer, a smoker’s sense of self and of place is affectively, cognitively and socially tied to the tobacco industry. Tobacco-related symbolism in the city is highly visible and abundant. Smoking and tobacco are enmeshed in the fabric of the city and of people’s lives, an integrated and totalising phenomenon we characterise as ‘rhizomatic smoking’. Hence, we call for ‘rhizomatic tobacco control’ as a new direction for conceptualising the entirety of tobacco in society and for subjecting tobacco control in China to critical scrutiny. Keywords: Hongta Group; Yuxi; Hongtashan; Smoking; Tobacco Industry; China Introduction: Enroute to Yuxi Our bus was meandering through an endless sea of golden-coloured tobacco fields, a sign that we were enroute to Yuxi, a prefecture-level city in Yunnan Province, China, and the location of the Hongta1 Group—one of the largest tobacco companies in China and the world with an annual production of 93 billion cigarettes (Li 2012).
