Anhui Province: Shitai County, Guniujiang National Nature Reserve, on a spider, 1 August 2020, Mingjun Chen & Ting Wang, holotype GNJ20200814-46. GenBank sequence data for GNJ20200814-46: SSU = MW969660, LSU = MW969673, TEF = MW961413, RPB1 = MW980146. Asexual morph: white to yellowish-white mycelial mat, completely covering the host spider.

Conidiophores arising along the entire length of the outer hyphae of synnemata and from the mycelia covering the host, verrucose, 33.5–123.5(–182.5) × (3–)4–9.5(–11.5) μm, tapering suddenly to a short distinct neck, enlarging into an ellipsoid to globose vesicle, 6–9(–12) × (5–)6–8(–9) μm; several metulae born on each vesicle, obovoid to broadly obovoid, (4.5–)5.5–7 × 3.5–5.5 μm, bearing a few narrowly obovate to clavate phialides with papillate apices, 5.5–7×1.5–2.5 μm. Conidia fusiform, (2.5–)3–4(– 5.5) × 1–2(–3) μm; vesicle, metulae, phialide forming a spherical head, (28–)34.5–44(–51) μm in diam.

GenBank sequence data for WFS20190625-25: SSU = MW036749, LSU = MW084343, TEF = MW091325, RPB1 = MW384883. Known distribution: —Shucheng County, Anhui Province, China. Notes: —According to descriptions of both sexual and asexual morphs for Gibellula pulchra from Mains (1950) and from the phylogenetic analysis, G. pulchra is the most closely related species with the new species. However, G. pulchra differs from G. flava in having longer verrucose conidiophores (150–600 μm) with slightly longer metulae (6–12 μm), phialides (6–10 μm) and conidia (2.5–6.4 μm). The sexual morph of G. flava produces superficial and elongate ellipsoidal small perithecia with shorter asci. The perithecia of G. pulchra are ovoid in shape and the asci are 600–660 × 5–7 μm.Published as part of Chen, Ming-Jun, Wang, Ting, Lin, Yan & Huang, Bo, 2021, Gibellula flava sp. nov.

Ma Shou-chen : Ming Dynasty courtesan/artist
No full textMa Shou-chen, poet, calligrapher and painter was a courtesan of the Ming dynasty. By studying the life and works of Ma Shou-chen, who was not a member of either the scholar or the academic/professional class of artists but who was very desirous of conforming to literati aesthetic tastes in her artistic works, new light is thrown upon the problem of identifying new aspects of Ming dynasty literati aesthetic taste. A study of Ma Shou-chen’s works illuminates the question of identifying qualities of literati painting and also serves to examine the question of female artists in China. Female artists were known for their weak brush stroke and other negative qualities. Was this true, or was the "conventional wisdom" based on an attitude toward
a female's social position rather than her ability as an artist?
Ma Shou-chen provides us with a good example for examining these points. She is well-known in Chinese art history, yet she is discussed by Siren largely in sections restricted to female artists. In Chinese biographies too, mention of Ma Shou-chen is included with other female artists. The purpose of this thesis is to discuss a limited, though it is felt, a representative
cross-section of her works with the aim of determining Ma Shou-chen’s place in art history.
In Section I, biographical data concerning Ma Shou-chen is discussed. This includes an estimate of her active period (1570-1604). Her relationship with Wang Chih-teng, a leading literatus of the Suchow area, is examined together with an exploration of the relationship of special courtesans to the
literati as a class.
What this meant in Chinese society and the repercussions on the artistic output of courtesans is also discussed.
Section II includes a discussion of the Chinese historical records which comment on Ma Shou-chen's works. There is also an exploration of the reason why certain artists and not others were named in records as having an influence on Ma Shou-chen's works. A brief discussion of the history of Chinese flower painting explains the relevance of placing Ma Shou-chen's works within the framework of literati rather than academic artists' works. A discussion of the critical comments regarding Ma Shou-chen's works by Chinese art historians gives rise to the possibility
that critical comments were often based more upon social status than actual works.
In Section III an analysis of Ma Shou-chen's artistic works, largely concerned with her speciality of orchid paintings, shows an historical process. However, there is no final classification
of her undated works. In addition, the typical qualities of her works involves rather stable compositions, a propensity for stretching the brush strokes across the surface of the painting, little concern with atmospheric qualities or far distance. These facts serve to enhance the two dimensional quality of her paintings. This factor in turn serves to focus the attention of the viewer upon Ma Shou-chen's calligraphy.
Section IV discusses the findings of the analysis of Ma Shou-chen's works in relation to Ming dynasty literati artists. This thesis concludes with the theory that smaller and more intimate literati works are more representative of the main-
stream of literati artists in the Ming dynasty. The works of Ma Shou-chen, who was trained to respond to literati tastes and was an accomplished artist, show the more relaxed social atmosphere of the Ming dynasty.
Two appendices are included. The first is a catalogue of the works of Ma Shou-chen discussed in this thesis. The second is a translation of the Chinese literary sources concerning Ma Shou-chen.Arts, Faculty ofFine Arts, Department of, Department ofGraduat

The politics of fashion: perceptions of power in female clothing and ornamentation as reflected in the sixteenth-century Chinese novel Jin Ping Mei
Full text linkThis thesis examines issues of female power and influence in sixteenth-century China focusing on how women and their roles were perceived in the changing social environment of the mid-late Ming dynasty. Using aspects of a New Historicist approach, information from contemporary literary and historical sources are analysed alongside each other. With its emphasis on the lives of women and preoccupation with the description of material objects, the late Ming novel Jin Ping Mei forms an important element in the thesis. China in the sixteenth century saw expanding urbanisation, the emergence of a new wealthy merchant class, increasing visibility of women and a questioning of traditional morality. Fashion consciousness, as one of the most conspicuous aspects of the new material culture, is a possible indicator of these trends. Traditional Western theories contend that fashion began in the particular context of Renaissance Europe. However, this study argues that a similar fashion awareness existed in China too, and was manifested in a competitive striving for social status, in this case specifically among women. In contrast to previous studies which downplayed the impact women had on defining traditional Chinese culture, this thesis demonstrates how women and their sartorial choices began to redefine the boundaries of material culture, influencing literati discourse which, in turn, re- influenced female behaviour
