Tao-yen 道衍(Yao Kuang-hsiao 姚廣孝)'s Life
T'ai tsung (太宗), the Second Emperor of the Ming (明), made his way to the throne by disloyal means, i.e. the Ching-nan (靖難) Rebellion. And the ringleader of this rebellion is asserted to be the Buddhist monk, Tao-yen, 1335-1418. Afterwards he was "graciously permitted" to return to secular life by the supreme commond of the emperor and then given the name of Yao Kuang-hsiao. But it is said he still continued to live the rigorous religious life. The author deals in this article with his activities as a monk, his works on Buddhism, especially on the doctrine of the Ching-t'u (淨土) sect, and his "Tao-yu-lu" (道餘錄) written against Confucian attacks on Buddhism. Finally, the author tries to make cIear his part in Buddhist affairs under the earIy Ming dynasty

IX. 2008, Tingting Zhang. Distribution. China (Beijing, Hebei, Ningxia, Yunnan). Etymology. The species epithet derives from the Latin “ aquila ” [= dark-colored]; referring to infuscation on the anterior part of the wing. Remarks. The new species is similar to V. fasciata (Meigen), but it can be separated from the latter by tergite 4 with white recumbent scales anteriorly and tergites 1, 5, and 6 with white recumbent scales posteriorly. In V. fasciata, tergites 2–3 have yellowish recumbent scales antero-laterally, tergite 4 has yellowish recumbent scales anteriorly, and tergites 5–6 have yellowish recumbent scales posteriorly.Published as part of Yao, Gang, Yang, Ding & Evenhuis, Neal L., 2009, Four new species and a new record of Villa Lioy, 1864 from China (Diptera: Bombyliidae), pp. 49-60 in Zootaxa 2055 on pages 51-52, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18668

Health Shocks, Village Elections, and Long-Term Income: Evidence from Rural China
Using a sample of households in 48 Chinese villages for the period 1986-2002, this paper studies the dynamic effects of major health shocks on household income and the role played by village elections in mitigating these effects. Our results show that in the first 15 years after a shock, a shock-hit household on average falls short of its normal income trajectory by 11.8% and its recovery would take 19 years. Based on the premise that shock-hit families impose negative externalities on richer families by borrowing from them, our political economy model predicts that the outcome of village elections would differ from that of a standard median voter model in that the elected village leaders tend to adopt pro-poor policies. Our empirical study finds that villages are more likely to establish a healthcare plan after the election is introduced. In addition, village elections reduce the probability of a household to borrow by 16.7% when one of its working adults is seriously sick. As a result, they reduce more than half of the negative effect of a health shock on household income.

Neocatarhinus Kuang & Hong, 1990 Type species: Neocatarhinus bambusae Kuang & Hong, 1990 Diagnosis. Body fusiform, gnathosoma large, prodorsal shield with frontal lobe, scapular tubercles ahead of rear shield margin, scapular setae (sc) directed inward. Legs І femoral and legs ІІ genual setae absent; tarsal empodium (ω) entire. Coxisternal plates with prosternal apodeme, all coxal and opisthosomal setae present. Opisthosoma with broad dorsal furrow. Notes. The genus now has 3 species, N. bambusae Kuang & Hong, 1990, N. guangxiensis Wei & Xie, 2009 (in: Wei et al. 2009 b) and N. dendrocalamus sp. nov. infesting bamboo. N. bambusae and N. guangxiensis are associated with unknown species of the genus Bambusa and N. dendrocalamus sp. nov. is associated with Dendrocalamus latiflorus Munro. All the species are from south China.Published as part of Wang, Guo-Quan, Wei, Sui-Gai & Yang, Ding, 2010, Four new species of the family Diptilomiopidae (Acari: Eriophyoidea) from China, pp. 39-50 in Zootaxa 2442 on page 42, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19500
