On the cult of Chang San-feng and the authenticity of his works
No full textChang San Feng was a Taoist master who Has honoured by the Taoist inclined Emperors T'ai-tsu (reigned 1368--1398),
Ch'eng-tsu(reigned 1403-1424) and Ying-tsung (reigned 1436-1449, 1457-1464) of the Ming dynasty, The first two emperors
dispatched delegates to invite him to court, but he never Pesponded to imperial invitation. Many legends were woven around him and he was transmuted into an immortal. As his biography in the Ming-shih remarks, no one knew when he died. It is also problematic whether he was a historical figure or not. This thesis is an attempt to reveal the true facts about this noted Taoist. This study consists of two parts. The first part, an examination and review of the biographical accounts of Chang San-feng as found in important historical compilations, local histories of the Ming dynasty and literary notes written by Ming authors, reflects the evolution of
his biography from one of the earliest extant records, which was written
during the Hsuan-te reign (1426-1435), to its inclusion into the Ming-shih, and reveals the discrepancies existing in many records, Evidence is cited to prove that some sayings concerning Chang San-feng
are unfounded. By making use of comparatively reliable biographical accounts and analysing the records relating to the imperial search for Chang San-feng,
which is a historical fact, it is argued that it is possible that Chang
San-feng was a historical figure. Also, the dates of one of the disciples
of Chang San-feng, and the discontinuation of Emperor Ch'eng-tsu's search
for the Taoist, lead to the deduction that Chang San-feng lived approximately
between the Yen-yu period (1314-1320) and 1419, Part II of this thesis is an investigation into the authenticity
of the Chang San-feng ch 'Uan-chi, the complete works attributed to Chang San-fengo Nany ser'ious discrepancies existing in
these works have been cliscover·ed, namely, the appearance of historical
persons and mention of historical facts in periods remote from the time
when Chang San-feng was believed to have flourished, anti-Taoist overtones,
resentment against Emperor Ch'eng-tsu, a sentiment incapable of finding
expression in the time and milieu of Chang San-feng dnd anachronistic
use of terms and names of places current during the Ch'ing period. All
these serve to betray that these works are spurious, and chat they were
forged or produced from planchette writing by Ch'ing Taoist devotees.
Such clues also indicate that some of them were written by an unknown
author in late Ming period To sum up Chang San-feng was not the author of these works

Holotype: ♂, Tongdao, Hunan, China, 26 July, 2004, collected by Jian-Feng Wang and Ji- Liang Wang. Paratypes: 3♂ 2♀, Tongdao, Hunan, China, 25–26 July, 2004, collected by Jian-Feng Wang and Ji- Liang Wang. The type material is deposited in the Museum of Hebei University. Description. Male. Body small. Fastigium verticis conical, apex blunt, furrowed on the middle of disc. Pronotum slightly elongate, anterior margin straight, posterior margin rounded, hind transversal sulcus conspicuous; lateral lobe longer than high, ventral margin backwards oblique, humeral sinus very weak. All femora unarmed, fore coxa with a spine, tibial tympana open on both sides, fore tibia with 5 spines on internal and 6 spines on external margins of ventral surface; mid tibia with 5 spines on internal and 6 spines on external margins of ventral surface; hind tibia with 29–31 dorsal spines on each margin, 1 pair of dorsal apical spurs and 2 pairs of ventral apical spurs. Tegmina long and narrow, apices rounded, surpassing genicular lobes of hind femora, hind wings longer than tegmina. Posterior margin of tenth abdominal tergite with a pair of long and stout processes, the processes separated from each other at the subbase, each process dorso-ventrally expanded, divided into two compressed and apically rounded branches. Basal half of cerci cylindrical, with a small ventro-external process, apex rounded; apical half of cerci divided into two branches, dorsal branch compressed and wide, slightly incurved, apex rounded; ventral branch narrower and longer than dorsal branch, slightly compressed, apex subacute. Genitalia with a pair of incurved membranous lobes, apices rounded. Subgenital plate long and stout, upcurved, the middle area in the midline of ventral surface longitudinally broadly raised ventrally, the apex with a pair of stout spines; subapices of lateral margins slightly expanded, with a pair of thin spines directing backwards; posterior margin of subgenital plate concave in the middle, with a bunch of hairs; styli located on the middle of lateral margins, slender and comparatively long, slightly compressed. Female. Tenth abdominal tergite small, posterior margin with a extremely small triangular notch in the middle. Cerci conical and stout, apices acute. Subgenital plate with base wide, posterior margin rounded, centre with a notch (the specimens are a little deformed). Ovipositor long and nearly straight, apical half upcurved, ventral valve with an apical hook. Coloration. Body yellowish brown. Eyes brown. Dorsal surface of head with 4 longitudinal dark brown stripes, 2 stripes near the midline converged at vertex, 2 stripes near the lateral margin reaching internal margins of eyes; the 1–3 basal segments of antenna darkish brown, other part with darkish brown rings. Disc of pronotum with a broad longitudinal brown stripe, the lateral margins dark brown. Spines on ventral surface of fore and mid tibiae dark brown, apices of genicular lobes of hind femora dark. Tegmina bearing distinct brown spots. Processes and posterior margin of male tenth abdominal tergite dark brown. Apices of spines on male subgenital plate brown. Measurements (mm). Body: ♂ 10.3–11.6, ♀ 9.9–11.5; pronotum: ♂ 3.8–4.1, ♀ 3.5–3.6; tegmen: ♂ 17.4–18.2, ♀ 17.7; hind femur: ♂ 11.2–11.8, ♀ 11.1–11.4; ovipositor: 7.7–7.9. Discussion. The new species differs from Xizicus (Paraxizicus) biprocerus (Shi & Zheng, 1996) by: processes of male tenth abdominal tergite dorso-ventrally expanded, apex of each process divided into two compressed branches; the middle area in the midline of ventral surface of subgenital plate longitudinally broadly raised ventrally, the apex with a pair of stout spines; subapices of lateral margins of subgenital plate slightly expanded, with a pair of thin spines directing posteriorly. Etymology. The name of the new species is derived from the morphology of the male tenth abdominal tergite. Distribution.

A Conversation with Xianghong Feng, Author of Tourism and Prosperity in Miao Land
No full textIn this installment of Lexington Books\u27 Anthropology of Tourism: Heritage, Mobility and Society Author Conversations, series editor Michael A. Di Giovine talks to anthropologist Xianghong Feng, author of the book, Tourism and Prosperity in Miao Land: Power and Inequality in Rural China. With rich ethnographic detail, Feng focuses on the intersection of tourism development, power and inequality in the southern interior of China. Capital-intensive, elite-driven tourism has reshaped the social and cultural patterns of the ethnic Miao. Although tourism is often touted as able to empower women, lower classes, and minorities, Feng shows that often it reinforces the very power structures that it attempts to equalize
