  • Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China
    Country Report for the Preparation of the First Report on the State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China June 2003 Beijing CONTENTS Executive Summary Biological diversity is the basis for the existence and development of human society and has aroused the increasing great attention of international society. In June 1992, more than 150 countries including China had jointly signed the "Pact of Biological Diversity". Domestic animal genetic resources are an important component of biological diversity, precious resources formed through long-term evolution, and also the closest and most direct part of relation with human beings. Therefore, in order to realize a sustainable, stable and high-efficient animal production, it is of great significance to meet even higher demand for animal and poultry product varieties and quality by human society, strengthen conservation, and effective, rational and sustainable utilization of animal and poultry genetic resources. The "Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the "World Status of Animal Genetic Resource " compiled by the FAO. The Ministry of Agriculture" (MOA) has attached great importance to the compilation of the Report, organized nearly 20 experts from administrative, technical extension, research institutes and universities to participate in the compilation team. In 1999, the first meeting of the compilation staff members had been held in the National Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Service, discussed on the compilation outline and division of labor in the Report compilation, and smoothly fulfilled the tasks to each of the compilers.

  • ICAES 2008 Yunnan Zhuang Language Use 26 April Final
    The Southern Zhuang Languages of Yunnan Province’s Wenshan Prefecture from a Sociolinguistic Perspective 从社会语言学方面看 云南省文山州的壮语南部方言 Eric C. Johnson 江子扬 Susanne J. Johnson 马艾华 SIL International 世界少数民族语文研究院 East Asia Group 东亚部 2008 Eric C. Johnson and Susanne J. Johnson The Southern Zhuang Languages of Yunnan Province’s Wenshan Prefecture from a Sociolinguistic Perspective Abstract Although the majority of China’s 16 million Zhuang nationality people live in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, over one million Zhuang also live in Yunnan Province, mostly in the Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in the extreme southeast of the province. More than half of these Zhuang speak Central Taic languages collectively known to linguists as “Southern Zhuang,” but referred to by their speakers as “Nong,” “Dai,” and “Min.” The goal of this paper is to introduce the sociolinguistic situation of the Yunnan Southern Zhuang languages, especially focusing on the current language use situation in rural Southern Zhuang villages, the present vitality of these languages and their prospects for future preservation and development. 1 Introduction The Zhuang people are the largest minority nationality within the People’s Republic of China, numbered at 16 million during the 2000 national census (National Bureau of Statistics 2003). Of these, approximately one third speak "Southern Zhuang," that is, Central Taic varieties, whereas two thirds speak "Northern Zhuang," or Northern Taic varieties. Over 1.1 million Zhuang nationality people live in Yunnan Province, and more than half of these are speakers of Central Taic language varieties. Though the Tai family as a whole has been the subject of a significant amount of research in Thailand, China, and elsewhere during the past century, much remains to be done.

  • Cultural Revolution on the Border: Yunnan's 'Political Frontier Defence' (1969-1971)
    Cultural Revolution on the Border: Cultural Revolution on the Border: Yunnan's 'Political Frontier Defence' (1969-1971) MICHAEL SCHOENHALS Abstract This paper addresses an important but so far neglected episode in the post- 1949 history of China – the impact of the so-called 'Cultural Revolution' on the country's ethnic minority populations. Specifically, it attempts to deal with the movement as it unfolded in the province of Yunnan where, at one stage, it be- came an attempt by a political leadership in the provincial capital, dominated by military officers and supported by members of the central authorities in Beijing, to alter the landscape of the ethnic minority populations along the frontier. Using information culled from local histories and contemporary sources, the pa- per traces the history of what even by the standards of the Cultural Revolution (1966-76) came to be regarded as an exceptionally flawed and counterproductive policy. It foregrounds the human cost of its implementation and, for the first time, goes some way towards explaining – in more than simply general terms of labels like 'excesses' and 'ultra-leftism' – the trauma of those who survived it, a trauma that to this day still lingers in popular memory.1 Introduction During the 'Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution', China's southern frontier – where the province of Yunnan borders on Vietnam, Laos and Burma – witnessed the implementation of something called a 'political frontier defence' (zhengzhi bianfang) (PFD). As part of the Cultural Revo- lution, the PFD has left no traces in the works of historians concerned with national-level events and developments, nor has it figured in social science scholarship concerned with the organization of political power and its consequences in the 'Maoist system' (Barnouin and Yu 1993; MacFarquhar and Fairbank 1991; Yan and Gao 1996).

To detect the deep structure and geodynamic background beneath Daping, Chang’an and other gold and polymetallic deposits in this area, we carried out a high-density short-period seismic array survey in southern Yunnan province. The array used is approximately 240 km long with an interval of 500 m between two adjacent stations. Based on the data collected by the array, we used H-κ stacking and common conversion point (CCP) methods of receiver functions to reveal the fine crustal structure beneath this array, which was located from Lvchun (western end) to the east and ended in Maguan.
