This Ethnic Minority Development Plan (EMDP) has been prepared to ensure that ethnic minority people are able to benefit equally from the Xinjiang Tacheng Border Cities and Counties Development Project (the Project), and that any negative impacts that might affect them are either reduced or mitigated. Adequate provisions to enhance economic conditions of minority groups have either been integrated into the project design or specified separately in the EMDP. Special mitigation measures have also been included in the resettlement plans (RPs) to ensure that ethnic minorities affected by land acquisition and resettlement (LAR) will also benefit from the Project. The EMDP is based on relevant laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as well as ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS). The EMDP has been prepared as per ADB requirement. 2. Project Description. The Project is implemented by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Government (XUARG) with support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The project will affect Tacheng City and the county seats of three counties of the Tacheng Prefecture: Emin, Tuoli, and Yumin. Project components will include (i) rehabilitation of Kalangguer river, (ii) district heating improvement, (iii) municipal solid waste management improvement, (iv) alley rehabilitation in Tacheng City, (v) urban roads and bridges; (vi) municipal services improvements in Tacheng City and counties of Emin, Tuoli, and Yumin; and (vii) capacity development and institutional strengthening during project implementation. 3. The Project will directly benefit a total of 256,751 people, including about 34,533 poor (13.5% of the total beneficiaries), 127,268 female residents (49.6% of the total beneficiaries) and 120,183 ethnic minority people (46.8% of the total beneficiaries). The project will contribute to poverty reduction by improving access for urban, rural, and peri-urban residents to municipal services such as transportation, water supply, sewerage, wastewater treatment, heating, and support direct and indirect employment opportunities with expanded tertiary industries and an enabling investment environment. 4. Legal and Policy Framework. This EMDP is in line with the People’s Republic of China’s laws and regulations and ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement. The EMDP specifies mitigation and enhancement measures to comply with ADB’s SPS, Safeguard Requirement No. 3 on indigenous peoples.1 5. The EMDP is designed to ensure that project benefits are distributed equitably and that culturally appropriate measures are taken to (i) avoid or mitigate adverse impacts, and (ii) enhance benefits for ethnic minorities. The project will ensure that ethnic minorities are consulted in matters related to each subproject, and provided with opportunities to participate in decision making and/or implementation activities. 1 According to ADB SPS safeguard requirement 3, the term “indigenous peoples” includes ethnic minorities. In the PRC such plans are called Ethnic Minority Development Plans. Ethnic minority groups refer to those groups that are distinct from the mainstream ethnic group in the PRC- the Han. The PRC policy defines nationalities based on, inter alia, shared language, territory, economic base, and traditions/culture. 2 6. Socioeconomic Characteristics of Ethnic Minorities. In the project-affected city/counties, ethnic minority people represent between 40% and 75% of the total city/county population. The majority of ethnic people in these counties are Kazakh, who, in 2012, represented over 76% of the ethnic minority population in the project city/counties. The other main ethnic minority groups present in these counties are the Hui, the Uygur, the Mongolians, the Daur and the Russian. A number of other minority groups are also present, but in very small numbers. 7. Both urban and rural poverty incidences of all four project city/counties2 are higher than the average of Tacheng Prefecture. No official figures are

  • 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.

(August 2003) Chiung-Fang Chang, B.A., Fu-Jen Catholic University; M.A., San Diego State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Dudley L. Poston, Jr. Sociological and demographic analyses of minority fertility in the United States have suggested that the processes of socioeconomic, cultural, marital, and structural assimilation will lead to convergence in fertility. So far, little research has used the assimilation approach to study the fertility of the minority populations of China, and also, no research has taken both individual-level and group-level characteristics as predictors. Using micro-data from the One Percent 1990 Census of China, this dissertation performs multilevel analyses, hierarchical generalized linear modeling, to examine the effects of assimilation and the one-child policy at both the individual level and the group level on minority women’s fertility.

  • The Digital Protection and Inheritance of Daur Language Under Big Data Yi-Duo BIAN1,A,* 1College of Foreign Languages, Zhaotong University, Zhaotong, Yunnan, China
    2021 International Conference on Education, Humanity and Language, Art (EHLA 2021) ISBN: 978-1-60595-137-9 The Digital Protection and Inheritance of Daur Language Under Big Data Yi-duo BIAN1,a,* 1College of Foreign languages, Zhaotong University, Zhaotong, Yunnan, China [email protected] *corresponding author Keywords: Daur nationality, Language, Big data, Protection, Inheritance. Abstract. China is composed of 56 ethnic groups, and there are 55 ethnic minorities besides the Han nationality. Minority culture is an important part of Chinese culture. The language of ethnic minorities has a long history of development and is an important part of culture. Daur nationality is one of the traditional nationalities in the north, which has its own special development history. Culture is unique, so the protection and development of Daur language has become a hot topic for cultural protection workers. Under the background of big data, this paper puts forward the digital protection and inheritance scheme of Daur language, which can provide some reference for the protection and inheritance of Daur language. 1. Introduction National language carries the cultural history of a nation. The disappearance of national language means the disappearance of a national culture from human memory and the extinction of a national culture. Daur language is an endangered language. In the process of language inheritance, Daur people not only need to have cultural consciousness, but also need the joint efforts of researchers to inherit and protect it step by step. Yimin Daur association provides conditions for the protection of language and culture, moreover, modern technology makes it possible to preserve the Daur language for a long time.

However, relatively little recording of traditional Daur medicine has been carried out. As Daur medicine is gradually being replaced by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern medicine, further research is urgently needed. Methods: We collected ethnobotany and ethnozoology data through semi-structured interviews with 114 informants (18 sessions), focus group discussions (6 sessions), and extensive literature reviews. Medicinal samples and specimens were collected during eld investigations from June 2015 to October 2018. The diseases and ailments reported as being treated were classied according to the International Classication of Diseases 11th (ICD-11). The expression correlation of medicine classication, medicine, and disease was assessed using Cytoscape 3.6.1 software.

  • The Inheritance and Change of the Contemporary Daur Shaman
    religions Article The Inheritance and Change of the Contemporary Daur Shaman Minna Sa School of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Minzu University of China, 27 Zhongguancun South Avenue, Haidian District, Beijing 100081, China; [email protected] Received: 4 December 2018; Accepted: 10 January 2019; Published: 15 January 2019 Abstract: The Daur people are a minority living in Northeast China. They have adhered to a form of shamanism since ancient times. They believe that all things are spiritual. The Daur call an intermediary or messenger between the human world and the spirit worlds jad’@n (shaman). In addition, there are also different types of priests and healers, such as bagÙi (healer and priest), barS (bone-setter), UtUSi (healer of child) and baræÙen (midwife), but only the jad’@n is a real shaman. The Daur’s system of deities is huge, complex, and diverse, mainly including t@Ng@r (God of Heaven), xUÃUr bark@n (ancestral spirit), njaNnjaN bark@n (Niang Niang Goddess), aUl@i bark@n (spirit of mountain), nuÃir bark@n (spirit of snake), gali bark@n (God of Fire), etc. Among them, ancestral spirit is the most noble and important deity of the Daur, called xUÃUr bark@n (spirit of ancestors). In the past, the social structure of the Daurs was based on the equal clan xal and its branches mokun. XUÃUr bark@n is the ancestral spirit of the mokun family. The shaman with xUÃUr bark@n as the main patron is called xUÃUr jad’@n, that is, mokun shaman. The inheritance of the Daur shaman is very complicated.

[email protected] ABSTRACT The paper adopts the research methods of literature, historical research, comparative research, and studies the history of minority language education in Inner Mongolia before and after the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. The paper draws the following conclusions: before the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the Daur, Oroqen, Ewenki, and Russian people received formal ethnic language education were noble persons, and ordinary people can only rely on their families to realize intergenerational language inheritance. However after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the party and government promulgated a series of policies conducive to the development of ethnic education, and established policy and regulation system for bilingual education of ethnic minorities so that common people had the freedom to learn, use and develop the language and characters of the ethnic group, Chinese general language education has been widely implemented in the settlements of ethnic groups. Keywords: ethnic minorities, language education, Inner Mongolia I. INTRODUCTION II. HISTORY OF DAUR'S ETHNIC LANGUAGE Ethnic education is an important part of China's EDUCATION national education and an important content of China's Daur has had a good tradition of emphasizing ethnic work.
