  • Association of Genetic Loci for Migraine Susceptibility in the She People of China
    Lin et al. The Journal of Headache and Pain (2015) 16:70 DOI 10.1186/s10194-015-0553-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Association of genetic loci for migraine susceptibility in the she people of China Qi-Fang Lin1, Xian-Guo Fu2, Long-Teng Yao1, Jing Yang2, Luo-Yuan Cao2, Yong-Tong Xin1, Jun-Xia Hou1, Lin-Feng Ye1 and Gen-Bin Huang1* Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of the genotype and allele frequencies of the polymorphisms rs4379368, rs10504861, rs10915437, rs12134493 and rs13208321 in She people of China with migraine headache susceptibility. The five alleles were previously identified as being associated with migraine in a Western population, but it was not known if this association would hold in a She population. rs4379368 is in the succinic HMG coenzyme A transferase (C7orf10) gene; rs10504861 is near the matrix metallopeptidase 16 (MMP16) gene; rs10915437 is near the adherens junctions associated protein 1 (AJAP1) gene; rs12134493 is upstream of the tetraspanin 2 (TSPAN2) gene; and rs13208321 is within the four and a half LIM domains protein 5 (FHL5) gene. Methods: This was a case-controlled study conducted in She people of Fujian province in China. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and direct sequencing were performed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to assess the association of the different genotypes of each SNP with migraine. Results: The rs4379368 T allele was not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and was more common than the C allele in subjects with migraine (58.7 %; P = 0.049), possibly suggesting a selection bias for T allele in this population.

  • 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.

  • Rational Mythos and Irrational Logos: the Narrative Forms of China’S ‘She’ People
    The Eurasia Proceedings of Educational & Social Sciences (EPESS) ISSN: 2587-1730 The Eurasia Proceedings of Educational & Social Sciences (EPESS), 2015 Volume 3, Pages 25-37 ICRES 2015: International Conference on Research in Education and Science RATIONAL MYTHOS AND IRRATIONAL LOGOS: THE NARRATIVE FORMS OF CHINA’S ‘SHE’ PEOPLE Yan SAI Minzu University of China & Queen‟s University, Belfast ABSTRACT: This article considers the myths of China‟s She people in the light of the distinction made by western mythographers between mythos and logos. In the analysis of ancient Greek myths, mythos and logos have been seen as standing for irrational and rational elements, respectively. Within the Chinese education system, however, myths and history are not rigorously separated, and people believe that myths tell of real events that happened in prehistoric times. By examining my collections of She narrative epics and graphic depictions of these stories, I will suggest that the association of logos with the rational and mythos with the irrational is reversed in the She case, and that the effective transmission of the epics down the generations has required the adoption of rational elements to the oral tradition or mythos, whilst the sacred or irrational component of the stories is preserved in the graphic depictions or logos. Keywords: Myth, logo, she ethnic group, epic INTRODUCTION Although numerous scholars have discussed the meaning of myth (e.g. Cruz, L., & Frijhoff, W. Th. M., 2009:1), there is little agreement on a clear definition of the term. The origins and meanings of myths have generated heated debates in the fields of the humanities and social sciences throughout the world.

The Civilizing Project and Its Social Consequences: Ordination, the Manuscript as an Object of Value, and the Male-Female Relations in Religious Domain Many pieces of ethnographical evidence collected in Southeast Asia during the mid-twentieth century confirm that a Yao define his or her Yao-ness through the performance of ritual rather than by any biological relationship.1 In the Chinese context, ritual practices have also continued to play an integral role in the formation of Yao ethnicity, even in the post-Maoist era (1980s--) in which the discourses of and the plans for modernization have dominated every aspect of Chinese society.2 Among all the rituals the Yao practice, ordination, the ritual that bestows the qualification of a ritual specialist upon a Yao man, is undoubtedly the most significant in defining Yao ethnicity. The Yao practise a form of ordination that appears to be a distant mirror of the earliest days of Daoism—namely: the Heavenly Masters’ Church of the second century AD—a time at which communal ordination was popular.3 Jacques Lemoine uses the term ‘collective priesthood’ to contrast Yao ordination with the contemporary Chinese Daoist system, because Chinese ordination singles out the candidates for ordination individually, and the members of this elected elite act out their spiritual roles on behalf of a community of laymen.4 Yao Daoist ordination has also overshadowed a great part of what is called Yao Daoism.
