  • The Orchid Conservation Alliance 564 Arden Drive Encinitas, CA 92024
    The Orchid Conservation Alliance 564 Arden Drive Encinitas, CA 92024 June 28, 2013 Dear OCA Member - The OCA’s First Trip to China. The OCA trip to southern China ended about a month ago and I had been waiting for some major insight resulting from the trip to present itself before writing to you. However, the bolt of lightning hasn’t flashed yet into my consciousness, so in the interest of not holding the good hostage to the perfect, I will just get to it and tell you about the trip. Our trip was led by Holger and Wenqing Perner. They are the proprietors of Hengduan Mountains Biotechnology, Ltd., a company in Chengdu, Sichuan, that is the only company in China raising seed grown native Chinese orchids. First, to orient you, see the map at right. The map shows the three southernmost Chinese provinces, Guangxi, Guangdong (Canton), and Fujian. The Tropic of Cancer runs from just to the north of Nanning in Guangxi Province, where our trip started, to Shantou on the coast. Thus our trip started in the tropics, but most of it was just to the north, outside the official tropics. However, almost anywhere we were the weather was warm to hot and moist to steamy. Our trip was scheduled to start just before the monsoon started, but the monsoon was early this year and we frequently had some light rain. We spent most of our time in Guangxi province and then flew to Fujian in the east. The trip ended in Xiamen, although while in that area we were mostly outside Xiamen to the north-east.

  • LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY ALONG the CHINA-VIETNAM BORDER* David Holm Department of Ethnology, National Chengchi University William J
    Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 33.2 ― October 2010 LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY ALONG THE CHINA-VIETNAM BORDER* David Holm Department of Ethnology, National Chengchi University Abstract The diversity of Tai languages along the border between Guangxi and Vietnam has long fascinated scholars, and led some to postulate that the original Tai homeland was located in this area. In this article I present evidence that this linguistic diversity can be explained in large part not by “divergent local development” from a single proto-language, but by the intrusion of dialects from elsewhere in relatively recent times as a result of migration, forced trans-plantation of populations, and large-scale military operations. Further research is needed to discover any underlying linguistic diversity in the area in deep historical time, but a prior task is to document more fully and systematically the surface diversity as described by Gedney and Haudricourt among others. Keywords diversity, homeland, migration William J. Gedney, in his influential article “Linguistic Diversity Among Tai Dialects in Southern Kwangsi” (1966), was among a number of scholars to propose that the geographical location of the proto-Tai language, the Tai Urheimat, lay along the border between Guangxi and Vietnam. In 1965 he had 1 written: This reviewer’s current research in Thai languages has convinced him that the point of origin for the Thai languages and dialects in this country [i.e. Thailand] and indeed for all the languages and dialects of the Tai family, is not to the north in Yunnan, but rather to the east, perhaps along the border between North Vietnam and Kwangsi or on one side or the other of this border.

  • The Neolithic Ofsouthern China-Origin, Development, and Dispersal
    The Neolithic ofSouthern China-Origin, Development, and Dispersal ZHANG CHI AND HSIAO-CHUN HUNG INTRODUCTION SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE YELLOW RIVER and Mainland Southeast Asia, southern China1 lies centrally within eastern Asia. This geographical area can be divided into three geomorphological terrains: the middle and lower Yangtze allu­ vial plain, the Lingnan (southern Nanling Mountains)-Fujian region,2 and the Yungui Plateau3 (Fig. 1). During the past 30 years, abundant archaeological dis­ coveries have stimulated a rethinking of the role ofsouthern China in the prehis­ tory of China and Southeast Asia. This article aims to outline briefly the Neolithic cultural developments in the middle and lower Yangtze alluvial plain, to discuss cultural influences over adjacent regions and, most importantly, to examine the issue of southward population dispersal during this time period. First, we give an overview of some significant prehistoric discoveries in south­ ern China. With the discovery of Hemudu in the mid-1970s as the divide, the history of archaeology in this region can be divided into two phases. The first phase (c. 1920s-1970s) involved extensive discovery, when archaeologists un­ earthed Pleistocene human remains at Yuanmou, Ziyang, Liujiang, Maba, and Changyang, and Palaeolithic industries in many caves. The major Neolithic cul­ tures, including Daxi, Qujialing, Shijiahe, Majiabang, Songze, Liangzhu, and Beiyinyangying in the middle and lower Yangtze, and several shell midden sites in Lingnan, were also discovered in this phase. During the systematic research phase (1970s to the present), ongoing major ex­ cavation at many sites contributed significantly to our understanding of prehis­ toric southern China. Additional early human remains at Wushan, Jianshi, Yun­ xian, Nanjing, and Hexian were recovered together with Palaeolithic assemblages from Yuanmou, the Baise basin, Jianshi Longgu cave, Hanzhong, the Li and Yuan valleys, Dadong and Jigongshan.
