They shared with me their lives and experiences, which not only provided research material, but also enriched me as a person rather than a researcher. I acknowledge with warm thanks the valuable support of the official Mr. Yugang Shi at the State Ethnic Affairs Committee of China, the field assistance provided by the official Mr. Jun Shi at the People’s Government of Xiangxi Hmong-Tujia Ethnic Groups Autonomous Prefecture, the official Ms. Rufen Tian at the People’s Government of Fenghuang County, and my college friend Ms. Jinqun Shi, a sociologist scholar at the Chinese Academy of Social Science (CASS) in Beijing. Jinqun’s family in Tuo River Town let me stay with them during my three visits, and treated me as their daughter. My dissertation research was partly funded by the Thomas S. Foley Institute for Public Policy and Public Service through its Summer Doctoral Fellowship, and the Department of Anthropology at Washington State University through its International Research Award. My gratitude is also to the faculty and graduate students at Department of Anthropology, Washington State University, for their greatest support to me as an international student far away from my home country China. I am indebted to my doctoral committee chair Dr. John H. Bodley, for his great inspiration and encouragement, as well as his endless patience and support to me. Dr. Bodley has been guiding my way since I first came to join this doctoral program from China in Fall 2003, without whom I could have never come this far. I want to thank my other doctoral committee member Dr. Nancy Mckee, Dr. William Andrefsky, Dr. John Young, Dr. Linda Stone (former), and Dr. Hua Han (former), as well as other faculty Dr. Bill Lipe, Dr. Steve Burkett, Dr. Jeannette Mageo, and Dr. Jeff Sellen at Washington State University. I also want to thank Misty iii Luminais, Ming-Kuo Wu, Kerensa Alison, Christa Herrygers, Ben Columbi, Maia Clay, Kim- Trieu Nguyen, and Troy Wilson, whom I feel lucky to have as friends and classmates. Special thanks to Mark Hill, not only for his assistance with the map illustrations and his comments on my every single draft, but also for his moral support to help me through the hardest time. Additional thanks to the editors, especially Dr. David C. Griffith at Human Organization, Dr. Ann Kingsolver at Anthropology of Work Review, and Dr. Roderick Sprague at Journal of Northwest Anthropology, and the associated anonymous reviewers. Their thoughtful insights and specific suggestions on my three articles (included in this dissertation after some expansion as Chapter 3, 4, and 5), greatly helped me improve them, and I am very appreciative of the opportunities of publishing them as the journal articles (Feng 2008; 2007a; 2007b). I also appreciate the individuals associated with the Society for Applied Anthropology such as its Executive Director Dr. Tom May and the anonymous reviewers for its 2005 Peter K. New Prize, and the individuals associated with the 60th Northwest Anthropological Conference and the anonymous reviewers for its Graduate Student Paper Competition. These two awards had been great encouragement for me to believe in and continue on my dissertation research. My final thanks are to my family and friends in China. Without their moral support, the numerous days and nights alone in U.S. during the past five years would have been much harder for me. The five-year life as a doctoral student at WSU is a treasure for me, which is not only invaluable because of the academic training, but also invaluable because of these life experiences in America for me as a cultural anthropologist. The five-year life is full of tears and laughs, sadness and joys, doubts and hopes, confusions and excitements. It had seemed to be endlessly long; while looking back, it feels as fast as a blink. Now, this five-year life is about to come to an end, I already start to miss it, but I am more looking forward to a new chapter in my life. iv ECONOMIC AND SOCIO-CULTURAL IMPACTS OF TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN FENGHUANG COUNTY, CHINA Abstract by Xianghong Feng, Ph.D. Washington State University August 2008 Chair: John H. Bodley The Chinese government is making tourism an important rural development strategy. Local governments and outside developers jointly manage and develop natural and cultural resources to increase tourism revenues. The government sells development and management rights to large for-profit corporations. This paper examines one such project in Fenghuang County, Hunan Province, where Yellow Dragon Cave Corporation (YDCC) and the local government of Fenghuang County are jointly promoting tourism. Pleasant climate, stunning views, “colorful” ethnic minority cultures, and the newly discovered and partially restored Ming Dynasty “Southern China Great Wall” are the primary tourist attractions in Fenghuang County. This project impacts 374,000 people, made up of 29 national minorities and representing 74 percent of the local population. Some researchers argue that this public-private partnership successfully produces profits for developers and creates economic growth. The present research uses a power and scale perspective to identify the preliminary economic and socio-cultural impacts of this capital-intensive development model on local communities. Open-ended interviews with residents, government officials, and business representatives are combined with demographic and economic statistics to identify the decision-makers, document the distribution of social power, and identify the flow of costs and benefits through the tourism system. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS……………………………………………………………………... iii ABSTRACT……………………………………………………………………………………….v LIST OF TABLES………………………………………………………………………………..ix LIST OF FIGURES………………………………………………………………………….…...xi CHAPTER 1.

Hunan is a province in south-central China, serological statistics will have certain effect on local breeding industry. The present study investigated the seroprevalences of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) in pigs from eight cities of Hunan province from 2017 to 2019. The samples were divided into two groups based on whether the hosts were immunized or not, and analysed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: The seropositivity of CSFV and PRRSV between different parts of Hunan province in China was statistically signicant. In unvaccinated group, our ndings showed CSFV antibody in piglets' sera decreases gradually with increase of piglets' age whereas PRRSV-specic antibodies may appear in various growth stages.

  • Treatment of the Uyghur Ethnic Group in the People's Republic of China
    Report for U.S. Department of Justice LL File No. 2015-011997 Treatment of the Uyghur Ethnic Group in the People’s Republic of China March 2015 The Law Library of Congress, Global Legal Research Center (202) 707-6462 (phone) • (866) 550-0442 (fax) • [email protected] • http://www.law.gov Treatment of the Uyghur Ethnic Group in the People’s Republic of China Staff of the Global Legal Research Center SUMMARY Members of the Uyghur ethnic group in China are identifiable by their Islamic religion, cultural heritage, traditional clothing, diet, language, and appearance. Uyghurs primarily reside in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of northwestern China. However, a 2010 population census found a total of 68,000 Uyghurs living in other areas of China as well. Despite legal protections for freedom of religion, speech, publication, assembly, association, procession, and demonstration, central and regional authorities are reportedly combating “religious extremism” in the XUAR as a means of maintaining stability, leading to concerns that the exercise of lawful rights is being restricted. Similarly, protections for ethnic minority languages and cultural identities are provided by the Constitution and a series of laws and regulations, and government authorities have been promoting “bilingual education” in the XUAR. However, some Uyghurs fear that the policy aims at assimilating young Uyghurs into Han Chinese society at the expense of their Uyghur identity. Violent clashes involving political or ethnic tensions in the XUAR or involving Uyghurs outside of the XUAR reportedly included attacks committed by Uyghurs, with attackers convicted in court of terror-related crimes. Rights advocates and analysts located outside of China, however, have raised concerns that authorities are using excessive force against Uyghur protesters and that officials fail to distinguish between violence and terrorism versus peaceful dissent.

  • Records of the Transmission of the Lamp (Jingde Chuadeng
    The Hokun Trust is pleased to support the fifth volume of a complete translation of this classic of Chan (Zen) Buddhism by Randolph S. Whitfield. The Records of the Transmission of the Lamp is a religious classic of the first importance for the practice and study of Zen which it is hoped will appeal both to students of Buddhism and to a wider public interested in religion as a whole. Contents Foreword by Albert Welter Preface Acknowledgements Introduction Appendix to the Introduction Abbreviations Book Eighteen Book Nineteen Book Twenty Book Twenty-one Finding List Bibliography Index Foreword The translation of the Jingde chuandeng lu (Jingde era Record of the Transmission of the Lamp) is a major accomplishment. Many have reveled in the wonders of this text. It has inspired countless numbers of East Asians, especially in China, Japan and Korea, where Chan inspired traditions – Chan, Zen, and Son – have taken root and flourished for many centuries. Indeed, the influence has been so profound and pervasive it is hard to imagine Japanese and Korean cultures without it. In the twentieth century, Western audiences also became enthralled with stories of illustrious Zen masters, many of which are rooted in the Jingde chuandeng lu. I remember meeting Alan Ginsburg, intrepid Beat poet and inveterate Buddhist aspirant, in Shanghai in 1985. He had been invited as part of a literary cultural exchange between China and the U. S., to perform a series of lectures for students at Fudan University, where I was a visiting student. Eager to meet people who he could discuss Chinese Buddhism with, I found myself ushered into his company to converse on the subject.
