Cultural exploitation in chinese politics: Reinterpreting liu sanjie
Full text linkLiu Sanjie is a typical Chinese legendary figure, adapted from folk custom and transformed during many historical and political stages. By comparing the musical film Liu Sanjie with the landscape performing art Impression Liu Sanjie, this paper explores how Liu Sanjie is reconstructed in the Impression to be in accord with contemporary demands (shidaixing). In the film, made during the 1960s, Liu Sanjie was promoted as a heroine fighting against the privileged classes, but in the Impression, her class struggle has been erased and only a harmonious and abstract legend remains. Her ethnicity is promoted by Han elites as not exclusive Zhuang, but shared equally with Han, Miao and Dong ethnicity in an imagined community to propagate a sense of ethnic harmony and unified Chineseness. Her transformation from a realistic character, full of a rebelling spirit, to an abstract and disembodied ‘sense of harmony’, is a complete reinterpretation of a Chinese historical legend. Utilizing a term from Wang Ban (1997), ‘the sublime figure of history’, which refers to an ideology aestheticized by the party state for securing its governance, this paper refers to the bold artistic treatment of Liu Sanjie for cultural exploitation as ‘Liu Sanjie’s sublime’. The paper explores the evolutionary progress of Liu Sanjie from class revolution to art revolution in response to political requirements. The author is a stage-trained performing artist, specialized in both Western opera and Chinese classical and folk singing and dance. He is also a critic and art consultant in the Chinese landscape performing arts industry. These professional roles have allowed privileged access to the top people in this industry

Bawangling [19 ° 7.158 'N, 109 ° 9.097 'E, Hainan Island, China], 23 April 2009, Jie Liu (HBU). Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin adjective medianus, -a, -um, meaning “median”, referring to the median location of fertilization ducts; adjective. Diagnosis. Small-sized Heteropodinae. The male of this new species can be distinguished from other Pseudopoda species by the thin, indented embolic apophysis and the orthogonally curved embolic tip (Figs 6, 8A – C). The female of this species is similar to Pseudopoda kunmingensis Sun & Zhang, 2012 in having long fertilization ducts situated medially, but can be distinguished from it by the slightly curved anterior margins of lateral lobes (entirely horizontal in P. kunmingensis), the absence of lateral projections of posterior part of lateral lobes (distinct in P. kunmingensis) (Figs 7, 9B – C).

Dorsal opistosoma with reddish-brown spots, and very darker in the posterior part. Other color pattern is the same as the male. Cheliceral furrow with 3 anterior and 4 posterior teeth, and with ca. 24 denticles (Fig. 9 A). Copulatory organ as in diagnosis. Epigynal field wider than long, with short anterior bands. Lateral lobes fused anteriorly, slightly separated posteriorly. Anterior margins of lateral lobes slightly bent anteriorlaterally. Copulatory openings split-shaped, located anteriorlaterally. Lateral loops of internal duct system visible through cuticle and appearing as transversal sickle in ventral view. First winding developed, almost half ellipse-shaped. Lateral loops of internal duct system extending laterally beyond its first windings (Figs 7, 9B – C). Remarks. Though there are two Pseudopoda species in Mt. Wuzhishan, we collected these two species at different time and different sites (especially in different altitude). Careful comparison of the material confirmed the respective matching of the sexes.

Triplosphaeria guizhouensis L. L. Liu & Z. Y. Liu 2023, sp. nov.
No full textTriplosphaeria guizhouensis L.L. Liu & Z.Y. Liu, sp. nov. Figure 2. Index Fungorum number: IF 900370; Facesoffungi number: FoF 10694 Etymology: In reference to the host location, Guizhou province, where the holotype was collected. Saprobic on decaying submerged wood in freshwater habitats. Asexual morph: Colonies on natural substrate effuse, consisting of individual conidium scattered over the substrate surface, conspicuous, brown to black. Mycelium mostly immersed, consisting of branched, septate, smooth, subhyaline to pale brown hyphae. Conidiophores absent. Conidiogenous cells monoblastic. Conidia solitary, straight or slightly curved, conidia body 18.9–23 × 8–9 μm (x = 21 × 8.5 μm, n = 15), composed of three or four columns of cells, 5–7-septate in each column, guttulate, smooth-walled or sometimes verrucose on the base cell, with 3–4 setose appendages. Appendages (4.7–) 12.6–18.9 (–21.5) long, 1–1.5 μm wide, divergent, pale brown to brown, 2–4-septate, straight or slightly flexuous, smooth-walled. Sexual morph: Undetermined. Cultural characteristics: Conidia germinating on WA and germ tubes produced from appendages within 12 h. Colonies on PDA growing slowly, reaching 20–25 mm DIAM. after one month at 25°C, under dark condition, circular, consisting of a matted felt with velutinous appearance, umbonate, surface of the colony mouse grey, in reverse brown. Material examined: CHINA, Guizhou Province, Chishui City, Chishui river basin, 28°25′N, 106°0′E, at an altitude of 204 m, on submerged decaying wood in a stream, 16 July 2019, L.L. Liu, CS1-18-1 (GZAAS 20–0407, holotype), ex-type living culture GZCC 19–0512. Notes: Triplosphaeria guizhouensis shares similar morphological characteristics with the tetraploa -like anamorph in having cylindrical conidia with columns of cells and apical appendages (Tanaka et al., 2009). Phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, ITS, SSU, tef1-α, and β-tubulin sequence data indicates that the new strain (GZAAS20-0407) nested within the Tetraplosphaeriaceae, and was resolved as a monophyletic clade with the genus Triplosphaeria (FIGURE 1). Triplosphaeria guizhouensis can be distinguished from other Triplosphaeria species in having conidia with ¾ columns and ¾ setose appendages. Moreover, the conidia of T. guizhouensis on the host plant differs from those of Triplosphaeria produced under culture conditions in having smaller conidia and shorter appendages (TABLE 2). Triplosphaeria sp. formed smaller conidia on the host plant also (TABLE 2) (Tanaka et al., 2009). In phylogenetic analysis, T. guizhouensis is sister to Tetraplosphaeria sp. (HHUF 27481) (Figure 1). Morphologically, T. guizhouensis is well distinguishable from Triplosphaeria sp. by quite smaller conidia (18.9–23 × 8–9 µm vs. (26–) 31.5–46 × 14–23 µm) and shorter appendages ((4.7–) 12.6–18.9 (–21.5) µm vs. 36–90µm). The teleomorph of T. guizhouensis is unknown, however based on anamorph form and molecular data, it clearly belongs to Triplosphaeria.Published as part of Liu, Ling-Ling, Feng, Yao, Wei, Quan-Quan, Zhang, Meng, Gu, Xiao-Feng, Liu, Zuo-Yi & Gou, Jiu-Lan, 2023, Triplosphaeria guizhouensis sp. nov.

(both CBEE; not examined, illustrations from MSc thesis compared). Note. The species was described from Hainan by the male sex only (Quan & Liu 2012). Material collected and examined by Chinese colleagues in Hainan included one female (see above; collected at the same site of one paratype male: Mt Limu). Unpublished data and illustrations from an MSc thesis have been included in the diagnosis and description presented here. Therefore, it can be stated that the female from northern Laos is conspecific with the specimens found in Hainan. Similar distribution patterns are known from Symphytognathidae: Patu shiluensis Lin & Li, 2009 (China: Hainan Province, Laos: Champasak Province), or from Sparassidae: Heteropoda simplex Jäger & Ono, 2000 (Northern Laos, Taiwan, Japan: Ryukyu Island). Diagnosis. Medium-sized to large Sparassidae (body length of females: 16.6–22.8). For males see Quan & Liu (2012). Females are distinguished from those of all other congeners except R. pinangensis and R. verruca in having a strongly sclerotised epigynal plate (Figs 9–10), but distinguished from the two latter species by: 1. Plate longitudinal and slightly wider in anterior half (not or not that strongly elongated and wider in posterior half in R. pinangensis and R. verruca), 2. Internal duct system relatively simple with first windings situated in anterior half, thus ducts leading to epigastric furrow freely visible (duct system complex and with first windings in posterior half, thus in dorsal view covering large parts of ducts leading to epigastric furrow in R. pinangensis and R. verruca). Description. Male: see Quan & Liu (2012). Female (PJ 3673): PL 9.8, PW 10.5, AW 6.6, OL 13.0, OW 7.3. Eyes: AME 0.52, ALE 0.55, PME 0.36, PLE 0.46, AME–AME 0.46, AME–ALE 0.79, PME–PME 0.86, PME–PLE 1.47, AME–PME 0.46, ALE–PLE 0.55, clypeus height at AME 0.32, clypeus height at ALE 0.21. Cheliceral furrow with 3 promarginal, 4 retromarginal teeth, without denticles. Retromargin of chelicerae close to fang base with 17–19 bristles. Spination: Palp: 130, 0 0 2, 1121, 1012; legs: femur I–III 323, IV 320; patella I–III 101, IV 100; tibia I–II 2226, III–IV 2126; metatarsus I–II 2024, III 2025, IV 3025. Leg formula: 2143. Measurements of palp and legs: Palp 12.8 (4.1, 2.0, 2.6, -, 4.1), I 46.8 (12.3, 5.9, 12.6, 12.6, 3.4), II 48.4 (13.3, 5.6, 13.2, 12.7, 3.6), III 32.3 (10.1, 4.1, 8.9, 6.7, 2.5), IV 38.6 (11.6, 4.0, 10.6, 9.3, 3.1). Metatarsi III–IV with ventro-distal spine within scopula (sparse in Mt IV). Copulatory organ as in diagnosis (Figs 9–11). Epigynal field longer than wide, with several small muscle attachment points laterally and one pair of slit sensilla within epigynal field. Epigynal plate with rounded incision at posterior margin. Copulatory openings situated antero-medially, first windings of internal duct system kidneyshaped, ducts leading to epigastric furrow anterior-laterally with glandular appendages. Colouration (Figs 25–26). Yellowish- to deep reddish-brown. Prosoma dorsally deep reddish-brown, with black fovea, marbled pattern and dense pattern of elongates muscle sigilla. Eye region anteriorly lighter close to lateral eyes. Chelicerae deep reddish-brown. Sternum reddish-brown with 3 pairs of humps laterally and 1 fused hump posteriorly, gnathocoxae and labium brown, distally yellowish-brown. Coxae brown with marbled pattern. Legs reddish- (proximally) to deep reddish-brown (distally). Opisthosoma yellowish-brown with typical tuningfork pattern and several dots dorsally, ventrally with 4 longitudinal light lines in darker median field. Variation. Females (n=1; data from unpublished MSc Thesis) with PL 6.9, OL 9.7. Distribution.
