A CLEAR VISION “There were not many people liv­ ing by the lake, and nobody threw rubbish or discharged sewage into it, so the water remained grade I, After years of hard work, changes and personal the top in the country’s five­tier water quality system.” sacrifice by the local residents, Erhai Lake is seeing a In the 1980s, however, the water cleaner, healthier future, Wang Ru and Li Yingqing quality of the lake deteriorated and “we no longer drank the water”, he report in Dali, Yunnan province. says. In 1996, he even witnessed a massive outbreak of blue­green algae which “made the water smell terrible, and I felt heart­broken”. Recalling the past, the now 52­year­old who grew up by the lake says, “I experienced several start­overs in my career, and they are all related to the protection of Erhai Lake.” As the seventh­largest freshwa­ ter lake in China, Erhai Lake has a watershed area of 2,562 square kilometers, and more than 860,000 people are living in the area now, according to Yang Chu, a deputy mayor of Dali city. Born into a fisherman’s family, He started to go fishing with his parents in 1983 when he was 15, liv­ ing on the money he made from selling fish. In 1989, He rented a 1.13­hectare tidal flat near the lake, and built it into a fishpond to raise fish with his savings. He was earning around 3,000 yuan ($438.3) a year at that time. He worked very hard, and, by 1993, was able to upgrade from a small wooden boat to a big powerboat in 1993 with the 20,000 yuan he saved. However, just three years later, when the blue­green algae Erhai Lake viewed from Gusheng village, hometown of rural resident He Licheng in Dali Bai autonomous prefecture, Yunnan province.

    US-China Foreign Language, ISSN 1539-8080 September 2014, Vol. 12, No. 9, 728-735 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Comparative Study of Livestock’s Name Between Ancient and Modern Yi Language of China∗ YANG Liu-jin Honghe University, Mengzi City, China The traditional pronunciations of domestic animal lexemes recorded in ancient Nisu(Yi) manuscripts differ significantly from the vernacular pronunciations of their modern counterparts. Thus, in the process of translating such texts, when a translator substitutes modern Nisu for ancient Nisu, not only can many of the characteristics of the original text be lost, but the original meaning may also be completely modified. Currently a number of specialists and scholars, both in China and elsewhere, are familiar with modern Nisu but have no such familiarity with the language’s ancient forms. The paper grants Nisu researchers a better grasp of the differences between the language’s ancient and modern forms in order to help others avoid mistakes in translating ancient Nisu manuscripts. This is accomplished through a brief comparative analysis of Nisu names for livestock and fowl—then and now. Keywords: Yi Language, livestock, name Introduction Nisu is a Tibet-Burman language of the Ngwi branch which has been officially classified as an ethnic linguistic sub-branch of the Yi nationality in China. The Nisu retain use of their language in both spoken and written forms. The current population of the official Yi nationality stands at 7,776,230 (PCPC, 2002) and is distributed through Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi, and Guizhou Provinces. Traditionally, in China, the languages spoken by the Yi nationality have been divided into six major dialect regions: Northern, Eastern, Southern, Western, Central, and Southeastern (YYJS, 1987, pp.

The event lasted for eight days. It was attended by a total of 24 participants from various countries, such as Canada, Japan, USA, Inner Mongolia and Ningxia. During the event, the 1U1V team invited two French specialists in earth construction— Mr. Marc Auzet and Ms. Juliette Goudy— and Prof. Bai Wenfeng, who specializes in the seismic performance study of building structures at Kunming University of Science and Technology, to provide professional guidance. This Festival covered three aspects: rammed-earth construction materials, rammed-earth construction technology and the practice of earth construction. It aims to provide an opportunity for participants to get close to the construction site of an earth building and deepen their understanding of the material and method. The process is both intelligently and physically challenging. Apart from attending lectures about soil and visiting traditional earth building villages, the participants also learnt about the construction condition of the 1U1V Earth Building Research Centre. Furthermore, they were taught to distinguish soil composition, test it, make adobe bricks with different proportions, and build self-design structures (including partition walls, bars and seats) with clay of different properties. Participants have shown their endurance to hardship through their sweat. Due to rain, some activities were held indoors.

The center will be a place for conducting experiments, training for workers and exhibitions of earth construction techniques. In the ceremony, Prof Edward Ng from School of Architecture, CUHK, Prof Zhai and Prof Bai from Faculty of Architecture and City Planning, KMUST signed an agreement to define the organization structure, work plan and the vision of the Centre. With eight Chinese words “土圭 垣墨，塾堯坤垠” as the vision and taking earth construction ( 土 ) as the starting point, the team aspires to create the pioneering and representative values of harmony and beauty (圭); to improve the living conditions of rural villagers by building houses ( 垣 ); to provide guidance and standards on earth construction, and publish relevant journal articles (墨); to establish artisan training systems and facilitate inter-disciplinary collaborations between universities and organizations (塾) ; to enhance the villagers' quality of life and sense of well-being, and promote rural sustainable development (堯) ; to raise awareness and continuously pass down, in China and around the world (坤), the systematic methods and innovative ideas of rural sustainability (垠).
