[[alternative]]Relationship Between Party System Transition and Local Faction Influence: A Case Study of I-Lan County (1950~2004)
No full text[[abstract]]After former President Chiang Ching-kuo’s death in 1988, Taiwan is seen going through the process of democratization, whereas now faced with the problem of democratic consolidation. In the past 15 years, the change of local factions is a very important issue in the political transition in Taiwan. Articles in various magazines, newspapers and periodicals all mentioned that there are at least 100 local factions once existed. Generally, before 1990, local factions had specific control over the mobilization of voters in all levels of elections.
In the 1950s, members of the local factions in I-Lan already participated in local affairs. They were: Lu Tsan Hsiang of the Lu faction, Lin Tsai-tian of the Lin faction, Chen Chin-tung of the Chen faction, Wu A-tu of the Chiao-shi Wu faction, Lin Sung-huei of the Chiao-shi Lin faction and Hsu Chen-hsiang of the Tung-Shan Hsu faction. However, I-Lan county is one of the few places that DPP (Democratic Progressive Party) in office. Under the dominance of DPP, it’s worth understanding how the transition of the local faction takes place. If the patron-client system theory is right, then under the long-term DPP dominance, those factions that previously under the KMT patronage will lead to a move of party support. Secondly, under the long-term dominance of DPP, many political figures of the DPP enter the central government and take major posts. Whether the central faction of the DPP seeks local power basis to form an alliance with the local DPP figures of I-Lan County, and form a patron-client relationship is the main theme of this study.

A Rosary of Rubies: The Chronicle of the Gur-rigs mDo-chen Tradition from South-Western Tibet
No full textThe mDo-chen bKa’-brgyud-pa school represents a little known Buddhist tradition from Mang-yul Gung-thang in south-western Tibet. It goes back to a Buddhist yogin known as Ma-bdun-pa or Ma-bdun ras-chen (12th/13th c.) and was later mainly spread by members of the Gur family. Although belonging to the “Upper ’Brug” (stod ’brug) branch of the ’Brug-pa bKa’-brgyud-pa school, the mDo-chen tradition has always been deeply infused with the “spoken teachings” (bka’ ma) and “treasure teachings” (gter ma) of the rNying-ma-pa school, and the cult of the “Seven Ma-mo Sisters” (ma mo mched bdun) was particularly practised and transmitted by its members. This book presents a critical edition, an annotated translation and a photographic reproduction of a manuscript copy of a rare chronicle of the Gur-rigs mDo-chen tradition written by Brag-dkar rta-so sPrul-sku Chos-kyi dbang-phyug (1775–1837). The text provides us with an overview of the tradition’s development mainly through biographical accounts but also through prophecies, prayers and praises for individual masters. The study concludes with two appendices based on the mDo chen bka’ brgyud gser ’phreng, a lineage history composed in the 15th century, and the “records of teachings received” (thob yig) of three important members of the Gur family, thus allowing us to gain an insight into the transmissions of the mDo-chen bKa’-brgyud-pa school and the interactions of its representatives with other important Buddhist teachers up to the 18th century. The present work is a further outcome of the author’s investigations into the cultural and religious traditions of south-western Tibet and the neighbouring Himalayan valleys

It was first discovered from <i>Acer palmatum</i> (Aceraceae), <i>Camellia sinensis</i> (Theaceae), <i>Podocarpus macrophyllus</i> (Podocarpaceae) and <i>Vitex negundo</i> (Verbenaceae) (Chen et al. 2017). As a phytopathogen, it can cause leaf spot, leaf blight and stalk rot on many plants (Xu et al. 2022; Li et al. 2023; Wang et al. 2023).

The sexual morph was characterised by ascomata aggregated, globose to irregular, brown, small and papillate. Asci were bitunicate, clavate to short cylindrical; Ascospores were biseriate, ellipsoidal, straight to slightly curved, hyaline, apex obtuse, medianly 1 - septate (Chen et al. 2017).

A Q&A with Janet Chen, Author of \u3ci\u3eGuilty of Indigence\u3c/i\u3e
No full textEvery society sees and treats its poorest members differently. The distinctive way that Victorian Britain dealt with poverty is a central theme in many novels by Charles Dickens, the prolific author whose books are getting even more attention as the bicentennial of his birth is being marked. For those more interested in India’s present than England’s past, the book of the moment on this theme seems to be Katherine Boo’s Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity, which is earning enthusiastic advance reviews and is due out soon (coincidentally or not on February 7, Dickens’ birthday). For China specialists, the most important new publication on the impoverished is one that neither goes as far back as the days of Dickens nor deals with out own time, but is rather Guilty of Indigence: The Urban Poor in China, 1900-1953. It’s a very impressive first book by historian Janet Y. Chen, a member of Princeton’s History Department. A blurb by China Beat co-founder Ken Pomeranz describes it as a “surprising and creative work” that is “social history of the highest caliber,” and political scientist David Strand and I also have very good things to say about the book on its back cover. Rather than present my own assessment of the book, though, I’ll let you hear about some aspects of it from the author herself. I recently sent Janet a set of questions by email, which she was good enough to answer as follows
