Were the Miao Kings "Prophets of Renewal"? The Case of the 1795-1797 Hunan Miao Revolt

This essay considers the concept of "prophets of renewal" introduced by James Scott in The Art of Not Being Governed:An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia (2009),as seen in the context of the 1795-97 Miao revolt along China's Hunan-Guizhou border.The appearance ofa "Miao King" and four "Wu kings" centering anti-Qing resistance in an intractable highland-utilizing native legends,spirit possession,investment of officials,and multi-ethnic recruitment-suggests a case of"Zomia" (the vast Southeast Asian Massif) prophets in action,as Scott himself suggests.Closer examination,however,reveals a more complex and uncertain picture,characterized by division between rival lords and an overall dearth of institutional,ideological,or cosmological elaboration,all further obscured by a paucity of historical sources.The Miao kings might be seen as prophets of renewal in a general sense,but the fit is inexact.There is still value,however,in considering Scott's model in the study of this event.It enables a sharper conceptualization of the agency of the Miao people,while offering a case for comparison with analogous instances of religiously-based native resistance on other Qing frontiers.     

The Administrative System in Tibet during the Tang and Yuan Dynasties

(1)China's Tang Dynasty (618-907) and Yuan dynasty(1279-1368) were of epoch-making importance in theformation and development of the Tibetan ethnicgroup.Numerous ethnic tribes began to unite,and theprocess of evolution from a tribal to a political societywas basically completed over the span of the twodynasties.The advanced political,ec,onomic and cul-rural systems of the Han people were introduced intoTibet,primitive tribes were gradually replaced by a     

文物展柜密封性能检测方法研究

The ventilation rate of a museum showcase is an important indicator for evaluating its sealing performance. In order to evaluate the ventilation rate of a showcase accurately, objectively and scientifically, some details of the detection and evaluation methods were comprehensively studied on the basis of GB/T 36110—2018. The results show that in order to achieve a better fitting effect, the carbon dioxide concentration outside a showcase should be fixed—a fixed concentration between 300 X 10 and 600 X 10 (volume fraction) had little influence on the fitting results. The average ventilation rate of the showcase at each moment was obtained by the numerical calculation method. When the detection time was short, values were unstable and fluctuated greatly; after stabilization, they were close to the fitted ventilation rates. The initial carbon dioxide concentration had a great influence on the fitting results of ventilation rate. The initial concentration of carbon dioxide gas in a showcase should be basically fixed between 20 000 X 10" and 25 000 X 10 ~ (volume fraction) during detection, so that the testing results were comparable. The carbon dioxide mixture in the airtight showcase is relatively uniform, and no obvious dip occurred. The location of detection equipment has little influence on the fitting results of ventilation rate. If the fitted R reaches 0. 9, the results are considered valid, due to various errors in the detection process. © 2023, Sciences of Conservation and Archaeology. All Rights Reserved.     

Interview with Village Leaders (II):Political Legal and Public Services in Rural Tibet

Soinam Wozhub: Old Village Head Who Has Worries Temtog(them-thog) Town of Zugong County is famous in the area along the Sichuan-Tibet Highway largely because it contains the ancient Zugong(mdzo- sgang) Monastery.

The book is confined to the study of the “popular morality” of the Athenians of the second half of the fifth century BCE and the whole extent of the fourth. The author moves outward from the central phenomenon of Athenian life, the oikos, comprising the family and extended family (Chapter 1), with a more sideways to take in threats or alternatives to the family, in the shape of courtesans and other ladies of irregular status (Chapter 2), returning then (Chapter 3) to the oikos with a chapter on problems of inheritance. After this he passes (Chapter 4) to the topic of friends and enemies, as essential feature of the Greekpolis.

Mountains That Screen Lhasa

The ancient city of Lhasa sits in a basin screened by high mountains that, Ithink, are holy. When I mentioned what was on my mind to a senior Tibetan, he agreed with me, explaining that these mountains face the city with their peaks as a token of respect for Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. The only exception, he added, is the Chagyia Garbo (Droppings of White Eagle) Mountain on the southern bank of the Lhasa River. As it faces the holy city with its back, a ritual is held on the 29th day of the second Tibetan month each year to bom-

吐蕃王朝告身制度（英文）

正In historical records,when Princess Wencheng went to Tibet(then a kingdom named Tubo);the king(Songtse'n Gampo) and his officers more than likely thought highly of the Tang court's attire and system of etiquette.The king himself imposed the Gaoshen system upon his subjects,with the system being the primary means for distinguishing rank and class.The general academic consensus is that this was a direct descendant of the Tang court's own way of doing much the same thing,

A Small Project In Tibet——Project for Strengthening Tibetan Traditional Medicine （PSTTM）

The Tibetan Red Cross has a branch in Tibet and in LhasaCity, whose members are openminded, non bureaucratic and sincerely dedicated to the improvement of poor people‘s standard of living and life conditions. So, at the end of the year 2000, they accepted a small project that they have been working with and supporting since with success. The cooperation of local authorities (Lhundrup and Medrogongkar)at every stage and level also contributed enormously to the achievements of the project, It must be underlined that although the sponsors are Europeans and there is one foreigner working with inPSTTM, the work and expertise are solely based on local Tibetan and Chinese knowledge. The reason is simple: there is enough local knowledge for everything needed for this project.

The Wall Paintings of Dra-thang Monastery and Dunhuang Art

The relation between the wall paintings of Dra-thang Monastery and Dunhuang art is rather complex.In order to have a better understanding of it,two fac-ets need to be clarified:one is that the wall paintingsof Dra-thang Monastery are a kind of continuation ofTibetan-style paintings during the Tubo's occupationperiod (786-848A.D),that is,their dates are differentbut they are of the same essence.The other is thatboth of them share similar cultural elements.They arerelated but differ from each other.Their multiple links
