  • Renao (Heat-Noise), Deities’ Efficacy, and Temple Festivals in Central and Southern Hebei Provincel
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Journal of Cambridge Studies 1 Renao (Heat-noise), Deities’ Efficacy, and Temple Festivals in Central and Southern Hebei Provincel Zhiya HUA School of Social Administration, Shanghai University of Political Science and Law, PRC [email protected] Abstract: There is a tradition of holding temple festivals in villages in central and southern Hebei Province. 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.

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.

  • 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
    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.

    000_COVERS.qxd 2/13/1950 7:25 PM Page 3 000_COVERS.qxd 2/13/1950 7:25 PM Page 4 I take this opportunity to congratulate the USBRL team for appreciable work done on the project in the last one year and for bringing out the publication of the 12th issue of this Technical Magazine Himprabhat. The Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) is a treasure trove of knowledge, new techniques, state-of-the-art technology and varied experience for engineers and is, thus, a unique project in the annals of Indian Railway. The magazine not only provides the details of experience gained during the course of implementation of the project but also provides a platform for the project team to share their views. This is a very commendable effort for documenting the important facets of challenges in the Himalayas for contemporary professionals as well as for posterity. I hope that USBRL maintains the momentum and spirit and continues to move forward in realisation of dreams of connecting Kashmir valley to the Indian Railway network as well as to take forward this fascinating journey of publication of a magazine to enrich all experienced and young engineers alike. I am glad to see the 12th issue of Himprabhat Technical News Magazine giving an account of the achievement of technical marvels and the challenges faced by the USBRL Organisation of Northern Railway. The USBRL team has had a breakthrough in tunneling efforts, excavating 26.34 km in 2018-19 against last year’s progress of 17.05 km, which is 54.5% more compared to last year.
