Rees, Chair The Zhuang minority in Guangxi, China, are commonly celebrated for their “sea of songs.” While the epithet of being “good at singing and dancing” is an overused description applied to China’s fifty-five minorities, Zhuang do gather in parks during weekends and holidays and sing strophic songs outside their homes and on mountain tops to each other in annual festivals. Although a given geographic area typically features only one of these tunes, in many areas of Guangxi, these songs are the primary form of music-making. This kind of strophic singing, known throughout China as mountain songs (shan’ge), has a variety of names spread among the dialects of the eighteen million Tai-Kadai speakers who make up the Zhuang. The Zhuang who live along the Youjiang river valley call their traditional singing fien.

    Chronology of Mass Killings during the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) Song Yongyi Thursday 25 August 2011 Stable URL: http://www.massviolence.org/Article?id_article=551 PDF version: http://www.massviolence.org/PdfVersion?id_article=551 http://www.massviolence.org - ISSN 1961-9898 Chronology of Mass Killings during the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) Chronology of Mass Killings during the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) Song Yongyi The Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) was a historical tragedy launched by Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It claimed the lives of several million people and inflicted cruel and inhuman treatments on hundreds of million people. However, 40 years after it ended, the total number of victims of the Cultural Revolution and especially the death toll of mass killings still remain a mystery both in China and overseas. For the Chinese communist government, it is a highly classified state secret, although they do maintain statistics for the so-called abnormal death numbers all over China. Nevertheless, the government, realizing that the totalitarian regime and the endless power struggles in the CCP Central Committee (CCP CC) were the root cause of the Cultural Revolution, has consistently discounted the significance of looking back and reflecting on this important period of Chinese history. They even forbid Chinese scholars from studying it independently and discourage overseas scholars from undertaking research on this subject in China. Owing to difficulties that scholars in and outside China encounter in accessing state secrets, the exact figure of the abnormal death has become a recurring debate in the field of China studies.

Results show average forest-related income shares of 31.5%, which was predominantly derived from cul- tivated non-timber sources. Forest-related income was important to households at all income levels, although lower income households were more dependent due to a lack of other sources.

As the largest green economy, it plays an important role in effectively alleviating the contradiction between supply and demand of wood, realizing the sustainable utilization of forest resources and realizing the development goal of circular economy. It has played a positive role in improving the ecological environment, promoting industrial agglomeration, promoting the development of related industries, and maintaining wood safety.

  • Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor?
    DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2015.16.8.3579 Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? RESEARCH ARTICLE Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? Wei Deng1&, Long Long2&*, Xian-Yan Tang3, Tian-Ren Huang1, Ji-Lin Li1, Min- Hua Rong1, Ke-Zhi Li1, Hai-Zhou Liu1 Abstract Geographic information system (GIS) technology has useful applications for epidemiology, enabling the detection of spatial patterns of disease dispersion and locating geographic areas at increased risk. In this study, we applied GIS technology to characterize the spatial pattern of mortality due to liver cancer in the autonomous region of Guangxi Zhuang in southwest China. A database with liver cancer mortality data for 1971-1973, 1990-1992, and 2004-2005, including geographic locations and climate conditions, was constructed, and the appropriate associations were investigated. It was found that the regions with the highest mortality rates were central Guangxi with Guigang City at the center, and southwest Guangxi centered in Fusui County. Regions with the lowest mortality rates were eastern Guangxi with Pingnan County at the center, and northern Guangxi centered in Sanjiang and Rongshui counties. Regarding climate conditions, in the 1990s the mortality rate of liver cancer positively correlated with average temperature and average minimum temperature, and negatively correlated with average precipitation. In 2004 through 2005, mortality due to liver cancer positively correlated with the average minimum temperature. Regions of high mortality had lower average humidity and higher average barometric pressure than did regions of low mortality.

The State Council officially replied the “planning framework of comprehensive controls for karst rocky desertification regions” during 11th Five Year Plan. The counties in Guangxi appointed by the planning framework were taken as the study objects. First, the index system of suitability assessment was established and the fuzzy comprehensive assessment was conducted. The control patterns were regionalized by a bottom up method. Second, the karst rocky desertification control patterns under different geographic background were collected and summarized. The control patterns were generalized by a top down method. Finally, the assessment results of the two methods were compared and adjusted. Then, the karst counties of Guangxi were regionalized and the suitable control patterns for karst counties were determined. Introduction In Guangxi, some successful rocky desertification control patterns and techniques have been formed. But these methods are developed under different ecological, social and economic conditions [1-2]. These patterns have promotional value theoretically, but their application scopes still need to be discussed [3].
