Xian wind and percussion ensemble
UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2009
URL:
Description: Xian wind and percussion ensemble, which has been played for more than a millennium in Chinas ancient capital of Xian, in Shaanxi Province, is a type of music integrating drums and wind instruments, sometimes with a male chorus. The content of the verses is mostly related to local life and religious belief and the music is mainly played on religious occasions such as temple fairs or funerals. The music can be divided into two categories, sitting music and walking music, with the latter also including the singing of the chorus. Marching drum music used to be performed on the emperors trips, but has now become the province of farmers and is played only in open fields in the countryside. The drum music band is composed of thirty to fifty members, including peasants, teachers, retired workers, students and others. The music has been transmitted from generation to generation through a strict master-apprentice mechanism. Scores of the music are recorded using an ancient notation system dating from the Tang and Song dynasties (seventh to thirteenth centuries). Approximately three thousand musical pieces are documented and about one hundred fifty volumes of handwritten scores are preserved and still in use.

NanGu Village paired weapon fighting forms
NánGǔ Zhuāng, MínJiān Wǔshù / Ancient Southern Village, Folk Martial Arts
NanGu Zhuang (literally, Ancient Southern Village) is located near Hebei province's Gaocheng city in Zhao county, Shijiazhuang prefecture.
NanGu Village was founded in 1429 by the Zhang family who had traveled from Hongdong in Shanxi province as part of the early Ming Land clearances.
In the reign of Ming Chongzhen (1628-1644) due to droughts and bad harvests in already overpopulated Shanxi, large bandit armies entered into Henan and then into Hebei provinces. To counter this the people of NanGu Zhen built a large stockade wall around the village. This wall had four fortified gates and was surrounded by a series of four ditches.
In the Mid 1800's the Taiping army entered Hebei, the villagers knew they were coming and decided to fight them. Repairing the wall and buying a few guns they prepared to fight to the death against the brutal Taiping troops. The Taiping were a messianic cult inspired by the teachings of Christian missionaries, during the 15 year long (1850 to 1864)Taiping rebellion 20-30 million people were killed. The Taiping had looted and massacred many towns, cities and villages all across China, including Hebei.
However hearing of the fierce reputation of the villagers and the heavy fortifications surrounding the small village the Taiping army simply marched around the village. (the Taiping army was more than a match for imperial troops and had a penchant for looting, pillaging, and burning any village it passed, as well as raping and murdering all the inhabitants)
No one knows the exact origin of the NanGu village martial arts. It is thought that they always have practiced some sort of martial arts, probably bringing some of the local boxing with them from the Hongdong area of Shanxi. However it is thought that sometime between about 1575-1650 one of local Hebei styles was introduced into the village.
Today they still preserve many of their traditional sets, both empty handed and with weapons including many paired sets for various weapons.
They are also famous for growing pears.

Amid slashed red tape, Taiwan rising in popularity for Russian tourists
Taiwan has become more popular as a travel destination among Russians. Last September, Taiwan started offering 14-day visa-free entry to Russian visitors. And earlier this month, two airlines launched direct flights between Taipei and two Russian cities, reducing travel times significantly. Local hoteliers are rushing to ensure these visitors have a pleasant stay in Taiwan. These Russian tourists go to Lungshan Temple to try their hand at lighting incense and requesting a blessing.Then they hop over to “Herb Lane” to enjoy a cup of roselle tea.This group of Russian tourists decided to come to Taiwan before the summer holidays.OlesiaRussian touristThings, like Sun Moon Lake and maybe Kenting National Park, they were the best things that we saw during this trip because I like nature.Taiwan’s sunny beaches and tropical fruits are popular with Russian tourists. This hotel hopes to cater to its Russian clientele with a taste of foods from home and room service in Russian.Chen Ya-huiHotelierWe have incorporated some Russian elements to our buffet. Our breakfast also caters to the needs of Russian visitors. In the future we will train some Russian speakers. For instance we’ll train our student interns to speak Russian to adapt to the needs of the market.With its large population, Russia is a huge source of potential tourists. Earlier this month, direct flights were launched connecting Taipei with Moscow and with the eastern city of Vladivostok, cutting travel times significantly. Given the short trip, many more visitors are venturing from Russia to explore the heart of Asia.
Stacey Pierson | From Temples to Palaces: The Story of Chinese Blue and White Porcelain
Stacey Pierson is a scholar of the art history, archaeology and technology of Chinese ceramics, including export wares; the movement of Chinese ceramics and its impacts; the history of collecting Asian art and its display in Britain. She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in this subject as well as the history of Chinese art and the history of collecting and display.
Pierson has published widely and curates exhibitions including the recent Academics, Agents and Activists: the School of Oriental and African Studies, 1916-2016. From 1995-2007 she was Curator of the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, also at SOAS, which housed one of the most important collections of Chinese ceramics in the world.

She also edits the annual journal Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society (London) which has been published since 1921.
This event is presented in conjunction with the current exhibition, “Blue and White Ceramics: An Enduring Global Obsession,” curated by Maureen Warren.

Qi Jia Quan, Seven Steps
Qi Jiā Quán, Qī Bù
(Qi Family Boxing, Seven Steps)
This form comes from Lishui prefecture in Zhejiang province, and is said to be based not only Qi Jiguang's material but also methods from Fujian's southern Shaolin temple.
Qi Jia Quan comes from the teachings of Ming dynasty general Qi Jiguang. However there are multiple lineages spread across the eastern coast of China from Fujian to Shandong which tend to differ greatly by region. It is also common to find local styles with one or two Qi Jia Quan forms.
In Zhejiang province Qi Jia Quan styles are mainly practiced in Taizhou, and Wenzhou prefectures (Lishui prefecture borders Wenzhou on the east).
Outside of Zhejiang major centers of Qi Jia Quan practice are Tong county in beijing's Tongzhou prefecture, in Hebei province's Julu county in Xingtai prefecture, and in Qi Jiguang's hometown of Penglai city in Shandong. In the late Qing dynasty Qi Jia Quan was also practiced in parts of Cangzhou prefecture, however now it is rare or possibly extinct there. However a branch of the Cangzhou Qi Jia Quan style survives in Liaoning's Jinzhou prefecture where it was taught by a bandit from Cangzhou who had been sentenced to work the mines there during the early 1900's.
Outside of the areas mentioned there are many other small obscure lineages of Qi Jia Quan extending all along the eastern coast from Fujian to Shandong.
