  • Foodgrains Output in the People's Republic of China, 1958–1965

  • Subramanian Swamy, Shahid Javed Burki

  • This article has two purposes. Firstly, to indicate that the currently available statistics on foodgrains output for the years 1958–65 appear to have little internal consistency and even less plausibility. Second, to place before the reader alternative estimates for this period. The new series, unlike the estimates it seeks to replace, is not derived from secondary data; it, in fact, incorporates a set of figures provided by Chinese officials to Mr. Burki, a member of a Pakistani delegation that went to China in July 1965, to study the communes. The series presented in this paper was given in response to a questionnaire submitted to the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Bureau of Commune Management.* By then the delegation had visited seven communes in north and north-east China, and all the communes visited had provided output data along with statistics of major inputs. It was with the purpose of checking the performance of these communes and those to be visited later, that the members of the delegation sought to obtain output and input data for all Chinese agriculture.

  • Taiwan>, a fertile island lying approximately 120 miles off the coast of Fukien Province in South China, cut in half by the Tropic of Cancer, has recently come to the notice of western sinologists as a rich source for the study of traditional Chinese life and customs. Prior to the Second World War, during the Japanese occupation, the scholars of that learned nation devoted much effort and printed space to the study of the folk religion, customs and folklore of the Taiwanese, works which can still be purchased in the second-hand bookshops of Taipei. These works were perhaps the first to take notice of the existence of Taoism and Taoist priests in Taiwan, alongside Buddhism and “Confucianism.” But the reports were scanty, only a few pages being devoted to the two kinds of Taoists, “Red-head” and “Black-head,” and the rituals they performed. By far the greater part of the Japanese research was devoted to the “popular religion,” that nameless entity which the masses of China's peasants traditionally believed in, sometimes described as the “Three Religions in One,” an irenic mixture of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

The China Quarterly
  • Published for: SOAS, University of London
  • The China Quarterly is a leading peer-reviewed scholarly journal, covering all aspects of contemporary China, including Taiwan. Our interdisciplinary approach covers a range of subjects including the social sciences, law, history, media, literature and the arts. Using a triple-anonymous peer review process, we publish high-quality, empirically rich and theoretically grounded research. The China Quarterly provides readers with in-depth analyses and a deeper understanding of China. In addition to research articles and shorter research reports, each issue contains a comprehensive book reviews section.

  • Liang Shu-ming and Chinese Communism

  • Wen-Shun Chi

  • In the name of thought reform in Mainland China, there have been many campaigns against the ideas of non-communist Chinese thinkers. For the scale and vehemence of the campaigns against them, two targets have been conspicuous: Hu Shih and Liang Shu-ming. The former was an exponent of western liberal ideas; the latter of Chinese traditional values. One must assume that the influence of their ideas was still strong in the minds of the Chinese people, since only this can explain such extensive and intensive criticism.
