Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI).: N a t u r a l f a c t o r s Water quality. Starch quality control is of great importance in the production process. The primary method of producing starch is as follows: after pulping the soaked green beans or peas, remove the skin residue; the starch is condensed under the effect of Streptococcus lactis; then extract the starch by drying. This technique is known as acidic steep liquor fermentation. In this process, Streptococcus lactisplays an essential role, while water quality is a key element in the growth and reproduction of Streptococcus lactis. Water that is unpolluted and odourless, fresh tasting, not bitter, and rich in minerals is commonly called sweet water. The presence of metal particles and inorganic salts in the sweet water has a great impact on the growth and reproduction of beneficial microorganisms and the enzymes they produce. This in turn will influence the condensation and retention of starch and its quality. Polluted water or water with an excessively high or low PH value or too many chlorine or sulfate ions will continuously inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, and may cause the micro­ organisms to produce clusterin, thus rendering them incapable of condensing the starch. It follows that water quality has a great impact on the output rate of the starch and the quality of the Longkou Fen Si. It is commonly said that processing vermicelli is just like extracting silver from the water. The same craftsman, with the same techniques, can produce high quality vermicelli in the Longkou Fen Si geographical area, but will not produce vermicelli of similar quality in other areas, and will even be unable to extract starch in some areas. This clearly shows the influence of water C 44/20 EN Official Journal of the European Union 20.2.2010 quality on Longkou Fen Si. There are many mountains and hills in the region of Yantai. Water in the rivers comes from mountain springs. They are free of pollution, with a PH value of 6.9-7.4 and a low content of chloride and sulfate ions. The water here is suitable for extracting starch from green beans and peas using acidic steeping liquor fermentation, and is conducive to the high starch yield in Longkou Fen Si. Climate and geographical environment. Another key factor for the quality of Longkou Fen Si is drying. Longkou Fen Si production can be divided into two periods: spring and autumn. The spring period runs from the Spring Equinox to the Summer Solstice, and the autumn one from the White Dew to the Heavy Snow, making six months in all. Vermicelli produced in the periods from the Grain Rain to the beginning of summer and from the Autumn Equinox to the beginning of winter are the best. At other times, vermicelli quality is inferior to the spring and autumn production. This is mainly because the temperature is too low in winter, so it is difficult for the Streptococcus lactis to reproduce in fermentation. Vermicelli which dries too slowly or even gets frozen is of inferior quality, while during summer, the temperature is too high, and it is hard to control contamination by other bacteria in fermentation. Other problems may be too much rain, too little wind and excessively strong sunlight when drying. All these factors combined result in inferior quality vermicelli. The temperature in the production area of Longkou Fen Si is favourable to Streptococcus lactis reproduction. And the suitable wind speed and humidity aid the drying process. With technological improvements, hot air drying is gradually taking over from the traditional process of sun drying. It is a modified process imitating the basic conditions of sun drying. At present, sun drying and hot air drying are both used in the production of Longkou Fen Si. H u m a n f a c t o r s It is a fact that, as early as in the Northern Wei period, people in Zhaoyuan had mastered the techniques of producing starch, and started to produce ordinary vermicelli in the Song Dynasty. In the 19th century, workshops producing vermicelli from green beans were established in the present Beilizhuang Village of Zhangxing Town in Zhaoyuan City; these are the oldest vermicelli workshops preserved today. In 1860, Hongtai Vermicelli Shop was founded in Hongkong to purchase vermicelli produced in Zhaoyuan and shipped them from Longkou. The characters ‘Longkou Fen Si’ were on the outer packages, and ever since then the product has been known by the name Longkou Fen Si. In 1862, the Qing government established the East Customs Office at Yantai with a subsidiary office at Longkou which was very active in promoting the transportation and sales of Longkou Fen Si. Longkou Port was opened for external trade in January 1914. More and more people in Zhaoyuan started running vermicelli shops in Longkou, stimulating the export of Longkou Fen Si. As a result, Longkou Fen Si now enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. Given its long standing reputation, the name Longkou Fen Si has been used to boost the export trade by the foreign trade departments in Shandong Province.

  • Research Report the Emergence of Labour Camps in Shandong
    Research Report The Emergence of Labour Camps in Shandong Province, 1942–1950* Frank Diko¨ tter ABSTRACT This article analyses the emergence of labour camps in the CCP base area of Shandong province from 1942 to 1950. By using original archival material, it provides a detailed understanding of the concrete workings of the penal system in a specific region, thus giving flesh and bone to the more general story of the prison in China. It also shows that in response to military instability, organizational problems and scarce resources, the local CCP in Shandong abandoned the idea of using prisons (jiansuo)toconfine convicts much earlier than the Yan’an authorities, moving towards a system of mobile labour teams and camps dispersed throughout the countryside which displayed many of the key hallmarks of the post-1949 laogai. Local authorities continued to place faith in a penal philosophy of reformation (ganhua) which was shared by nationalists and communists, but shifted the moral space where reformation should be carried out from the prison to the labour camp, thus introducing a major break in the history of confinement in 20th-century China. Scholarship on the history of the laogai –orreform through labour camps –inthe People’s Republic of China is generally based either on an analysis of official documents or on information gathered from former prisoners.1 The major difficulty encountered in research on the laogai is the lack of more substantial empirical evidence, as internal documents and archives produced by prison administrations, public security bureaus or other security departments have so far remained beyond the reach of historians.2 A similar difficulty characterizes research on the history of crime and punishment in CCP-controlled areas before 1949.

  • Changing Faces in the Chinese Communist Revolution
    CHANGING FACES IN THE CHINESE COMMUNIST REVOLUTION: PARTY MEMBERS AND ORGANIZATION BUILDING IN TWO JIAODONG COUNTIES 1928-1948. by YANG WU A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2013 © Yang Wu 2013 Abstract The revolution of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from the 1920s to the late 1940s was a defining moment in China’s modern history. It dramatically restructured Chinese society and created an authoritarian state that remains the most important player in shaping the country’s development today. Scholars writing to explain the success of the revolution began with trying to uncover factors outside of the party that helped to bring it to power, but have increasingly emphasized the ability of party organizations and their members to direct society to follow the CCP’s agendas as the decisive factor behind the party’s victory. Despite highlighting the role played by CCP members and the larger party organization in the success of the revolution studies have done little to examine how ordinary individuals got involved in the CCP at different stages and locations. Nor have scholars analyzed in depth the process of how the CCP molded millions of mostly rural people who joined it from the 1920s to the 40s into a disciplined force to seize control of China. Through a study of the CCP’s revolution in two counties of Jiaodong, a region of Shandong province in eastern China during this period my dissertation explores this process by focusing on their local party members.
