Mycosphere 5(1), 27–76, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/5/1/2 Abstract A total of 36 species of Hypogymnia are known from southwestern China. This region is a center of biodiversity for the genus. Hypogymnia capitata, H. nitida, H. saxicola, H. pendula, and H. tenuispora are newly described species from Yunnan and Sichuan. Olivetoric acid is new as a major lichen substance in Hypogymnia, occurring only in H. capitata. A key and illustrations are given for the species known from this region, along with five species from adjoining regions that might be confused or have historically been misidentified in this region. Key words – Lecanorales – lichenized ascomycetes – Parmeliaceae – Shaanxi – Sichuan – Tibet – Yunnan – Xizang. Introduction The first major collections of Hypogymnia from southwestern China were by Handel- Mazzetti, from which Zahlbruckner (1930) reported six species now placed in Hypogymnia, and Harry Smith (1921-1934, published piecewise by other authors; Herner 1988). Since the last checklist of lichens in China (Wei 1991), which reported 16 species of Hypogymnia from the southwestern provinces, numerous species of Hypogymnia from southwestern China have been described or revised (Chen 1994, Wei & Bi 1998, McCune & Obermayer 2001, McCune et al.

    Proto-Ersuic by Dominic Yu A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor James A. Matisoff, Chair Professor Gary Holland Professor Keith Johnson Professor Johanna Nichols Spring 2012 This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ or send a letter to Creative Commons 444 Castro Street, Suite 900 Mountain View, California 94041 USA Abstract Proto-Ersuic by Dominic Yu Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Berkeley Professor James A. Matisoff, Chair This is a reconstruction of Proto-Ersuic, the ancestor language of Lizu, Tosu, and Ersu, three closely related languages spoken in southwestern Sichuan which are generally considered to be part of the Qiangic branch of Tibeto-Burman. To date, no in-depth historical work has been carried out on these languages. Approximately 800 lexical items are reconstructed based primarily on data from six sources: Mianning Lizu (data collected by the author in Mianning County, Sichuan, in 2008 and 2010), two sources for Kala Lizu (Muli County, one modern and one older source), Naiqu Lizu (Jiulong County), and two varieties of Ersu (Zeluo and Qingshui, both in Ganluo County). Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to Lizu, Tosu, and Ersu, along with basic information for each source to help the reader properly interpret the phonetic transcriptions and parse the individual forms for each language.

    2019 International Conference on Cultural Studies, Tourism and Social Sciences (CSTSS 2019) Field Investigation Report on “Ayimengge” Children's Day of Khampa Yi Nationality Agemo Sichuanminzu College, Sichuan, Kangding, 626001, China Keywords: Yi Nationality in Khampa Area, Ayimengge, folk culture, heritage Abstract: Ayimengge is an ancient custom activity in the Yi area, which means the children festival or children party. It has a history of thousands of years. It is an activity that the Yi people pray for children and pin their good wishes. With the field investigation of the Yi people’s settlements in Khampa area, the Ayimengge ritual process of the Khampa people and the attitude of the Khampa people to this festival are recorded to understand the current living conditions of the folk culture of Ayimengge. 1. Introduction Folk custom is a way of life formed by a nation's long-term accumulation in the natural environment and social environment, which is manifested in production, residence, marriage, festivals, taboos and so on. The formation of some customs and habits is related to the major historical events or historical figures of the nation, and is also a reflection of the economy and life of a nation in a certain period of time. In Khampa, the villages inhabited by Yi people still maintain the annual “Ayimengge” Children's Day, but its scenes and rituals have been simplified. 2. Ayimengge Children's Day Field Survey With the historical changes such as the slave uprising in Liangshan in the old society, some Yi people fled from the former dominion of slave owners and aristocrats in Daliang.
