Heavy snow, pouring rain, freezing temperatures, and treacherous ice paralyzed the entire south part of China, just as the world’s largest human migration – that of millions of Chinese returning home for the Spring Festival – was getting underway. The storms stranded hundreds of thousands of travelers for days and caused billions of dollars of damage. Throughout the crisis and during the post disaster clean-up efforts, CCAI worked with Thank you CCAI donors for our heaters! our in-China local representatives to quickly deliver food, warm clothing, medicine, diapers, and heaters to as many impacted orphanage as we could. “CCAI was one of the first international adoption agencies who responded to the snow storm-related orphanage needs.

To heed CCAI’s call for help, our generous donors contributed over $157,000 to CCAI’s Earthquake Relief Fund, designated for orphanages in hard-hit Sichuan province.

Its 18 orphanages are caring for more than 2,000 orphans, most of them with special needs. Unfortunately, prior to 2007, fewer than 100 children were adopted internationally each year, due to orphanage officials’ severe lack of understanding of international adoption and the alarmingly poor quality of the child care environment. After repeated requests, CCAI was finally granted the opportunity to host the first-ever Orphan Care and Adoption Training in Henan on June 17, 2008. Seventy-eight directors, deputy directors, and head nurses from eighteen orphanages Orphanage children safe and sound in their new car seats were invited to attend the one-day training in Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan. Since then, CCAI’s charity team, led by Xia Zhong, has Safe Delivery- visited each Henan orphanage repeatedly, providing child care, foster care, and adoption training.

  • Zhang Da Fo Ye (Zhang Qishan)—Unknown 2
    1 Grave Robbers’ Chronicles: The Mystic Nine Written by: Xu Lei Translated by: Tiffany X and Merebear Edited by: Merebear 2 Summary: During the Republic Era, the town of Changsha was guarded by nine families known as the “Old Nine Gates” (or the “Mystic Nine”). They were incredibly powerful families who wielded supreme power over everything in Changsha. In 1933, a mysterious train pulled into Changsha station. The leader of the Nine Gates, Zhang Qishan, was also the army commander of Changsha station and started to investigate with Qi Tiezui. They discovered a highly suspicious mine just outside of Changsha. 3 The Mystic Nine Vol. 1 4 Introduction: About the Mystic Nine The Mystic Nine refers to the nine tomb-robbing families in old Changsha, which are often mentioned in the tomb-robbing notes. They consist of the upper three clans, middle three clans, and lower three clans respectively. Upper Three Clans: 1. Zhang Da Fo Ye (Zhang Qishan)—unknown 2. Er Yuehong—has three sons and taught Chen Pi Ah Si and Xiao Hua 3. Banjie Li—Li Sidi (guess) Middle Three Clans: 4. Chen Pi Ah Si—Chen Wen-Jin 5. Old Dog Wu, Fifth Master Dog—Wu Yiqiong, Wu Erbai, Wu Sanxing— Wu Xie 6. Black Back the Sixth—the only one in the Nine Gates without any offspring Lower Three Clans: 7.

The previous researches concentrated on how the socio-economic and socio- psychological changes had caused the rapid growth of the popular religious cults since the Song dynasty period, and they presumed that the rapid increase of the state and literati involvement with the local cults just reflected the increasing significance of the popular religions. However, I argue that the previous presumption was only partially right. My research intends to demonstrate that the transformation in the state and literati response to the popular religious cults was iii attributed not only to the change of the popular religions but also to that of the socio-political environment around them. In Chapter Two, I argue that during the period between the late Tang and the Five Dynasties period the difference in the local policies between the northern five dynasties and southern regional regimes caused the disparity in their stances on the popular religious beliefs.

  • T the Semantic Shift of “Western Regions” and the Westward Extension of the “Border” in the Tang Dynasty
    The Semantic Shift of “Western Regions” and the Westward Extension of the “Border” in the Tang Dynasty Rong Xinjiang and Wen Xin Traditionally, the term “Western Regions” could refer to two connected geographical regions. In its broader sense, it denotes the entire area west of Yumen Pass in Dunhuang; in its narrower sense, it includes only Southern and Eastern Xinjiang. Since the Han dynasty, the relations with the region covered by the narrower sense of the term have been of grave concern for regimes in China Proper. The Tang dynasty was the most daring in its dealings with the “Western Regions”, ruling over this area for an extended period of time and exerting considerable influence over local societies. Additionally, we also possess for the period of Tang rule some of the richest historical data regarding this area and, with the help of excavated texts, many details of the Tang rule have been clarified. Based on such empirical research, scholars such as Zhang Guangda also asked broader questions of the nature of Tang rule. He suggested that “the Tang began [its westward expansion] with the conquest of Xi Prefecture (Turfan), and after a century, by the mid-8th century, a type of Han/Non-Han dual governance has developed in areas beyond Xi Prefecture (meaning mostly the Four Garrisons)”.[1] Wang Xiaofu further explained the nature of this dual governance: “In the Four Garrisons of the Tang, there existed a form of governance between the prefecture-county system and the vassal kingdoms. Only in the Four Garrisons do we see the real manifestation of dual Eurasian Studies ( Volume III ) governance”.[2] Clearly, scholars have noticed the exceptional status of the Four Garrisons region in the Tang government: under the Han/Non-Han dual governance, the Four Garrisons region exhibited different features from regular “loose-rein” regions.

  • A History of Reading in Late Imperial China, 1000-1800
    A HISTORY OF READING IN LATE IMPERIAL CHINA, 1000-1800 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Li Yu, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Galal Walker, advisor Professor Mark Bender Professor Cynthia J. Brokaw ______________________________ Professor Patricia A. Sieber Advisor East Asian Languages and Literatures ABSTRACT This dissertation is a historical ethnographic study on the act of reading in late imperial China. Focusing on the practice and representation of reading, I present a mosaic of how reading was conceptualized, perceived, conducted, and transmitted from the tenth to the eighteenth centuries. My central argument is that reading, or dushu, was an indispensable component in the tapestry of cultural life and occupied a unique position in the landscape of social history in late imperial China. Reading is not merely a psychological act of individuals, but also a set of complicated social practices determined and conditioned by social conventions. The dissertation consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 discusses motivation, scope, methodology, and sources of the study. I introduce a dozen different Chinese terms related to the act of reading. Chapter 2 examines theories and practices of how children were taught to read. Focusing on four main pedagogical procedures, namely memorization, vocalization, punctuation, and explication, I argue that the loud chanting of texts and the constant anxiety of reciting were two of the most prominent themes that ran through both the descriptive and prescriptive discourses on the history of reading in late imperial ii China.
