  • Chinese-To-English Translation of Publicity on Chinese Minority Culture from Narrative Perspectives
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, August 2019, Vol. 9, No. 8, 897-906 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2019.08.012 D DAVID PUBLISHING Chinese-to-English Translation of Publicity on Chinese Minority Culture From Narrative Perspectives XIAO Tang-jin Guizhou Minzu University, Guiyang, China Narrative is a literary notion. In narrative translation theory, narrative involves personal narrative, public narrative, disciplinary narrative, and meta-narrative. This paper adopts the notions of personal narrative, public narrative, and meta-narrative to analyze specific cases concerning the Chinese-to-English translation on Chinese minority culture publicity, proposes two narrative translation models, namely, the annotation narrative translation model and the manipulative narrative translation model, and explores the concrete translation procedures and the embodied meta-narrative, covering introduction to minority tales, minority festivals, and minority customs. Narrative translation research is part of the multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary turn in the 21st century, and this research is an organic part of cross-cultural communication translatology. Keywords: narrative, Chinese-to-English translation, publicity on Chinese minority culture, model Foreword Cross-cultural communication translatology explores translation theories and practice from the perspectives of cross-cultural communication based on multiple disciplines. Thus, it shows interdisciplinary, intercultural and interlingual features (Xiao, 2018). This means that it is different from conventional approaches to translation in theory and practice, such as form equivalence and functional equivalence. Nowadays, narrative, an approach in literary studies, and sociology, a discipline which studies social structure, social mobility, and other social issues, are also adopted in translation studies. They are labeled as “interdisciplinary turn”, “sociological turn”, “power turn”, and other things alike.

ZooKeys 164: 24–40. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.164.2132 Abstract Seasogonia Young, 1986 is a sharpshooter genus with 13 species, four of them recorded from China. In this paper, S. sandaracata (Distant, 1908) is recorded as new for China and S. rufipenna Li & Wang, 1992 is regarded as a junior synonym of S. nigromaculata Kuoh, 1991. The morphological diversity of the female genitalia of Seasogonia is still poorly known. We provide herein detailed descriptions and illustrations of three Chinese Seasogonia species. Notes on the female genitalia of Seasogonia, including intraspecific and interspecific variation, and comparisons between the female genitalia of Seasogonia and of other related genera from China are provided. The preliminary results indicate that the female genitalia may provide useful features for the taxonomy of Seasogonia and other members of the Old World Cicadellini.

  • Encountering Miao Shamanism
    EPILOGUE: “GHOST MASTER” AT LANGDE: ENCOUNTERING MIAO SHAMANISM The previous chapters have examined the construction of the national- ist ideology in modern China, the research and investigation of southern Chinese minority nationalities, the concerned intellectual debates and polit- ical tensions, as well as the public representation of minority culture. In the epilogue, I will shift my focus to the village-level minority communal life and power relations to illustrate the continuity of shamanism in China and the symbiotic relationship between the shamanistic authority and political power. The main players here are the retired CCP Party secretary of a Miao I want to point out that the use of the terms “shaman” and “shamanism” is due to the convenience of understanding and the fact that Langde “ghost master” (guishi in Han Chinese) share the functional roles as the shaman in Manchuria and northeast Asia of being spiritual medium and communicator to the dead. Yet there are also two differences: one is linguistic, the word “shaman” has very probable Tungstic origin, and the other is gender. While North Asian shamans have traditional women, at Langde, the Miao ghost masters are usually men, and other ethnographic accounts about southern Chinese minority groups depict male shamans more than female shamans. For discussion of Manchu/northeast Asian shamanism, see Mark C.

  • Appendix 1. a Brief Description of China's 56 Ethnic Groups
    Appendix 1. A Brief Description of China’s 56 Ethnic Groups Throughout history, race, language and religion have divided China as much as physical terrain, political fiat and conquest.1 However, it is always a politically sensitive issue to identify those non-Han people as different ethnic groups. As a result, the total number of ethnic groups has never been fixed precisely in China. For example, in 1953, only 42 ethnic peoples were identified, while the number increased to 54 in 1964 and 56 in 1982. Of course, this does not include the unknown ethnic groups as well as foreigners with Chinese citizenship.2 Specifically, China’s current 56 ethnic groups are, in alphabetical order, Achang, Bai, Baonan, Blang, Buyi, Dai, Daur, Deang, Derung, Dong, Dongxiang, Ewenki, Gaoshan, Gelao, Han, Hani, Hezhe, Hui, Jing, Jingpo, Jino, Kazak, Kirgiz, Korean, Lahu, Lhoba, Li, Lisu, Manchu, 1 The text is prepared by Rongxing Guo based on the following sources: (i) The Ethnic Minorities in China (title in Chinese: “zhongguo shaoshu minzu”, edited by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission (SEAC) of the People’s Republic of China and published in 2010 by the Central Nationality University Press, Beijing) and (ii) the introductory text of China’s 56 ethnic groups (in Chinese, available at http://www.seac.gov.cn/col/col107/index.html, accessed on 2016–06–20). 2 As of 2010, when the Sixth National Population Census of the People’s Republic of China was conducted, the populations of the unknown ethnic groups and foreigners with Chinese citizenship were 640,101 and 1448, respectively.
