Already embedded in the gender culture of our society, family property relations begin to demonstrate the transition from the traditional patriarchal property system to the modern, individual one characterized by gender equality, a transition best reflected by the system construction of family property relations of the Chinese society.

Cultural Practice of Interchanges between the Yi and the Han in Kaiyuan since the Ming and the Qing Dynasties LI Na, HE Lifang, LIU Rui 2022, 37(1):  90-97.  Abstract ( 28 )   PDF (1633KB) ( 4 )   Kaiyuan, Honghe Prefecture has been a land of multiple ethnic groups since time immemorial. The Yi are a people of a long history whose culture has been profoundly influenced by that of the heartland. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties when an increasing Han population began migrating to Kaiyuan and the Han culture spread there, cultures of both the Yi and the Han have been coexisting and interchanging, resulting in the cultural transformation of the Yi to a considerable degree and the emergence of their rounded-assimilative culture. Based on the inter-identification of cultures of the Yi and the Han of Kaiyuan, their cultural identification dimensions are bi-directional, i.e. the Han identify with the Yi and can recognize themselves as Yi in ethnic terms on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the Yi likewise can identify with the Han and trace back to recognize the Han as their ancestors. In folk custom and daily life, cultural inter-identification between the two peoples is ubiquitous as embodied in their common festivals, temples, beliefs, custom, songs, dances and art, to name just a few.

Exploration of Assessment Mode Reform of Basic University Liberal Art Subjects LEI Min 2022, 37(1):  116-120.  Abstract ( 23 )   PDF (1603KB) ( 4 )   Highly theoretical and ideological, basic university liberal art subjects usually test the students in the form of summative assessment, i.e. the students are evaluated through final examinations. Due to emergence of the concept of processive learning, an increasing number of teachers now adopt the form of formative assessment instead. Practical effect shows, however, a combination of both forms can better suit characteristics of liberal art subjects. In carrying out concrete assessment, it is desirable that the points to test and the question types to use be designed to correspond with the curriculum objectives, allocate the evaluation weight to each examination module in a reasonable manner, and standardize the grading criteria to make sure that the assessment results are objective and fair.

On Effect of Xing Yuan Lu of Han Hai on the Sichuan Cuisine after the Turn of the 19th Century ZHU Duosheng 2022, 37(1):  126-130.  Abstract ( 29 )   PDF (1672KB) ( 9 )   Many books, such as Sichuan Cooking Encyclopedia, Sichuan Cuisine-the Country Is All Red, and some university courses, such as Sichuan Food Culture of Yangzhou University, all hold the idea that Xing Yuan Lu had enormous effect on Sichuan cuisine. This view is far from factual, argues the author, on the ground that this book, which is in fact only a tiny part of the voluminous Han Hai, had little influence on the Sichuan cuisine. Firstly, in the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911), less than 1% of the people in Sichuan were literate, meaning that Xing Yuan Lu was narrowly read. Secondly, an analysis of the influence of Li Hua’nan and his family in Mianzhou (modern Mianyang) and the publication of Han Hai indicates that Xing Yuan Lu only influenced a small area geographically. To sum up, it is reasonable to conclude that Xing Yuan Lu of Han Hai had only limited effect on the Sichuan cuisine. Related Articles | Metrics

Ganglu - Research on Traditional Beijing Snacks and Traditional Chinese Baking Tools ZHANG Yonghe 2022, 37(1):  131-136.  Abstract ( 27 )   PDF (1732KB) ( 14 )   “Ganglu,” originally referring to a kind of stove, is a tool of great importance in the bakery history of China. Some foods cooked with it simply use its name as the modifier, such as ganglu cake or ganglu stew, while others directly use it as their names (usually with other modifiers), such as ganglu, pobian (broken-rim) ganglu, yuanbian (round-rim) ganglu or babao (eight-treasure) ganglu. “Old-Beijing ganglu,” a local snack once laden with rich traditional culture, has virtually disappeared by now. A systematic introduction to and summary of ganglu and other related topics may, hopefully, help understand and inherit traditional food and folk culture. Related Articles | Metrics

Constructing Luzhou Cuisine as the Common Regional Cuisine in Southern Sichuan SHI Zibin 2022, 37(1):  137-142.  Abstract ( 30 )   PDF (1623KB) ( 11 )   The concept of Luzhou cuisine and the notion to nominate it as the common regional cuisine of southern Sichuan Province and name card of southern Sichuan urban agglomeration proposed by Luzhou-a proposal well based on profound historical and social background-represent one of the three historical achievements of four decades’ splendid development of Sichuan cuisine. As formation and development of Luzhou cuisine result from a rich local food culture of southern Sichuan, to create an independent cuisine system around this area is to make an important contribution to the catering industry of southern Sichuan and even that of the whole Sichuan in general.
