    It was the common practice that local governments collected taxes from the peasants in rural society under the name of the duty of long distance relay in case of budget shortage in the northern China. The expenses, levied from rural society due to budget shortage were called chaiyao. Chaiyao was an important source for local budget which was unflexible, but from the peasant's standpoint, it was a serious pressure on them as it was levied irregularly as the local government's pleases. To cope with the heavy payment of chaiyao, the peasants joined the rural organizations like che hui 車會 and qing-miao hui. Before the years of Jiaqing and Daoguang 道光, leading members in the village paid the expenses assigned by local governments. Under this way of levying chaiyao, they formed che hui in order to collect the chaiyao money. In the years of Tonzhi 同治, the way of levying chaiyao on a land basis became common in rural society. The chaiyao money was collected as part of the qing-miao money, and became of the activities of qing-miao hui. The increase of chaiyao which had been started clearly from the Jiaqing years brought this change of the levying way. The peasants got over the rapidly increasing expenses by participating in rural organizations, particularly qing-miao hul. Qing-miao hui was an organization guarding harvest originally. But we can conjecture that it was gradually transformed into a cooperate association providing public services such as repairing village roads and temples in rural society while it was going to perform the task of levying chaiyao. In fact, this expanding function can also be found in the qing-miao hui of the 20th century. Based on rural surveys in the 20th century, qing-miao hui not only guarded harvest but also filled the budget shortage and labor of local governments

    Contemporary Changes of Miao Ethnic Costumes in Guizhou Province, China: A Case Study of Miao in Shidong Town

    Full text link
    The Miao people are an ethnic group distributed throughout the Guizhou, Hunan, and Yunnan provinces in China. Living in Southeast Guizhou Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture in Guizhou Province, the Miao in Shidong town are famous largely for their magnificent silver accessories and embroidered costumes in the traditional annual festivals, the “Sisters’ ceremony” and the Dragon Boat festival. As a subgroup of the Miao minority, the Miao in Shidong town call themselves “Dam Pu.” From August 25 until September 6, 2017, based on fieldwork and interviews in Shidong town, Southeast Guizhou Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, the use of dyed materials (using a blue dye, locally called shiny cloth in Chinese) and embroidery was surveyed, in addition to the relationships between them in costume market. Findings from studies of Miao in the cities show that they persistently costume themselves in handmade clothing instead of ready-to-wear clothing, in contrast to the modern transformation of minorities in the general population. While preserving their traditions, how have the Miao people in this region changed during the modernization of China? The region is now government-controlled and tourism plans have been put in place. Considering their tourism role as a sightseeing spectacle, how to accept and deal with changes in the Miao ethnic group during the process of using their national costumes as a tourism resource, and while centering them in the tourism process must be analyzed
