Abstract:
The most notable impressions of religious sites and festivals in China often relate to how smells of burning incense and cooking foods help to create their special atmospheres. This may be because the Chinese word for ‘worship’ includes the order to light incense to the gods. By examining the importance of smells to a Chinese religious experience, this article analyses how scents heighten and shape people’s memories and emotions, as well as helping to foster the ‘hot and lively’ social aspects of China’s temples and religious festivals.

Abstract:
This study investigates the lived-experience of spiritual life in contemporary USA, India, and China. A qualitative coding frame was constructed based on participant responses to open-ended questions regarding spirituality. Qualitative analysis was facilitated by the use of Dedoose, a mixed methods software. The exploratory approach of this study takes on a cross-culturally comparative lens, and has two primary questions: (1) What are the universal aspects of lived spirituality across cultures, and (2) How does culture shape spiritual experience (e.g., typology and prevalence)? A total of 6112 participants (41% women, mean age of 29 years, range 18–75 years) were recruited, and analysis was conducted on a subset of 900 participants. The primary thematic categories derived by content analysis included religion (religious traditions, religious conversion, religious professionals, religious figures “theophany,” and religious forces “heirophany”), contemplative practice (meditation, mindful movement, prayer, and rituals), ancestors (ancestral worship, dreams about ancestors, and general mention of ancestors), natural world (animals, and nature), and metaphysical phenomena. Metaphysical categories were further parsed apart to include extrasensory perception (telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, realistic dreams, and intuitive impressions), psychokinesis, survival hypothesis (near death experiences, out of body experiences, and apparitional experiences), and faith and energy healing (recovery/remission of illness, and spiritual practitioners). Explanatory factors for similarities and differences across groups, and the origins of spirituality, are discussed.

Abstract:
The paper outlines the functioning of cultural practices concerning numbers in Chinese and Japanese mundanity. The formation and use of such symbolic non-mathematical meaning of numbers is a distinctive aspect of linguistic, cultural and axiological systems in the countries of the Far East. The topic seems to be of particular interest due to high attention drawn by number-containing words and idioms in Chinese and Japanese linguistic studies in combination with cultural studies. Such an analysis seeks to develop the approaches to clarifying nation-specific mental representations and cultural aspects of using numeral vocabulary. Non-mathematical meaning of numeral vocabulary should be considered in a differentiated manner depending on factors that shape particular meanings. Religious and cosmogonic mythology as well as oriental philosophy serves as major origins of number-related meanings. Graphic interpretations also produce new associated meanings. The paper mostly delves into the effects of how the phonetics of number-containing words influences their meaning. Homonymy and homophony that are typical of the Chinese language considerably facilitate the process of mounting additional meanings. The axiological and cultural perspective embraces numbers as classifying factors that can be used to stratify the objects. The study of non-traditional meanings in number vocabulary not only allows to reveal the link between culture and language but highlights how cognitive processes operate in linguistics.

Abstract:
Since the early twentieth century, Chinese Muslim elites have been engaged in a movement aimed at developing a new style of education for Muslim children. These Muslim elites traveled to the Middle East and were influenced by the modernizing movement in the broader Islamic world. The new-style schools were no longer attached to mosques, and their curricula emphasized the inclusion of modern secular subjects. Islamic knowledge and disciplines began to be transmitted as modern subjects when taught in modern institutions. Based on the detailed analysis of historical documents, this paper examines the trajectories of several prominent modern institutions in Beijing to illustrate the key aspects of Muslim educational reform. The Muslim elites in charge of this educational reform share the common goals of promoting education and improved livelihoods for the urban Hui Muslims; to date, however, these goals have been only partially met, and a mismatch has emerged between the new knowledge that students have learned and the occupational composition of the Hui people in Niujie (mainly small traders).

Abstract:
The subject of the study is Buddhism in the context of the state system of medieval Chinese society. The author examines in detail such aspects of the topic as the place of Buddhism in the traditional Chinese concept of government, as well as in the context of studying the general parameters of the functioning and interaction of religious and secular institutions of government. Special attention is paid to the relationship between the state and Buddhism in medieval China on the example of the analysis of Hui Yuan's polemical treatise "Shamen Bujing wangzhe lun" 沙門 不敬 王者 論 ( A treatise on monks who do not honor the ruler) As a unique monument in the history of ideological thought in China, the main conclusions of the study are that Buddhism was actively used in the politics of the medieval states of China, but it never managed to subdue the state, but on the contrary, it itself turned into an auxiliary means of government. The analysis of Hui Yuan's treatise "Shamen bujing wangzhe lun" was made for the first time" 沙門 不敬 王者 論 ( A treatise on monks who do not honor the ruler). Hui Yuan tried to prove to the Chinese authorities the Sangha's right to autonomy. The treatise provides a theoretical justification for the autonomy of the Buddhist community, Hui Yuan even managed to convince opponents to preserve the monastic sangha's right to independent governance, but Buddhist monasticism in subsequent eras could not maintain its position in imperial China.

Abstract:
Migration is a mass phenomenon of our time, a permanent phenomenon which takes manyforms, affects all continents and all countries. This phenomenon is one of the most important socialand international issues of the modern world. In this context, the Russian Federation is not freefrom problems arising from migration processes. Migration policy of the Russian Federation isa very important part of that country’s geopolitical game. Location Russia between the EuropeanUnion and China creates considerable scope to influence the shape of migration processes notonly regional but also global. Russia has become a country of immigration. There are two veryimportant aspects in the migration policy of Russia: the internal and external aspects. The internalaspect relates to such phenomena as the fight against the demographic crisis and related deficitsin the labor market, national and religious revival of ethnic groups living in Russia, the low levelof social integration of immigrants. In terms of external migration policy is treated as an instrumentof pressure on the countries of the former Soviet Union, a way of shaping relations with Chinaand the element of national security. Russian migration policy is an active instrument for solvingproblems within the country, as well as a very important foreign policy wizard. Pejorative sideof this policy is that it is planned from above, without taking into account the needs and natureof various Russian regions.

Abstract:
[Purpose] Enterprise innovation is a necessary condition for enterprises to survive and develop in the increasingly fierce competition. However, as an important human resource, there has been a lack of relevant empirical research on the impact of managerial ability on enterprise innovation. This study investigates how managerial ability affects innovation level and innovation efficiency, and further examines the relationship between managerial ability and innovation performance in manufacturing enterprises from the aspects of patent type, property rights and industry nature. [Methodology] This study selects A-share manufacturing listed companies in China from 2007 to 2019 as the research sample, uses the DEA-Tobit two-stage model proposed by Demerjian et al. (2012) to measure the managerial ability, and empirically tests the impact of managerial ability on enterprise innovation performance from two aspects of enterprise innovation output and enterprise innovation efficiency. [Findings] We discover that the stronger the managerial ability, the lower the innovation output and the higher the innovation efficiency. Moreover, by distinguishing the patent type, property right nature and industry nature, we further find that high-ability management can improve enterprise innovation efficiency in state-owned enterprises, but it has no significant impact on enterprise innovation output. The positive effect of managerial ability on enterprise innovation efficiency is not significant in high-tech enterprises, which is inconsistent with previous experience. [Implications] First, taking the managerial ability as the starting point, we not only study the impact of managerial ability on enterprise innovation output, but also on innovation efficiency, which supplements and improves the existing literature on the influencing factors of enterprise innovation performance. Secondly, combined with China's institutional background, this study further discusses the influencing factors of enterprise innovation output and innovation efficiency, so as to provide empirical evidence from emerging markets for relevant research. Thirdly, with the integration of psychology, behavior, financial accounting and other disciplines, managerial ability is introduced into the research field of financial accounting, and this study provides new empirical evidence for the research on the economic consequences of managerial ability. Finally, this study can provide suggestions and decision support for manufacturing enterprises to improve innovation performance, and help to further standardize the professional manager market.

Abstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic imposes a new way of life on us, and in this new reality, we try in every way to find positive aspects for language studies in particular and science in general. One of such aspects is the switch to online scientific meetings and conferences, which have therefore become more accessible also to language enthusiasts from more remote locations. Besides, the already ongoing digitalization of linguistics in different respects, from teaching and learning materials, linguistic data collection, and others, only seems to accelerate in the situation. And finally, as unfortunate as it is, it nevertheless offers numerous new insights into our social lives. The summer issue of Volume 11 is dedicated though not limited to such insights. In the first article “A Comparative Corpus-Based Content Analysis of Head of Government Addresses in Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic: Japan and Western Countries” by Nagisa MORITOKI ŠKOF discussed the speakers’ perspectives and political orientation in public addresses made by heads of government in Japan, the USA, New Zealand, Germany, and Slovenia in response to the coronavirus disease. Following, SAWADA Hiroko and INOUE Rizu in their article “Network for Supporting Education of Foreign Children During Covid-19: Language Assessments as a Tool for Promoting Community Integration” introduce problems of the present Japanese education system, which does not adequately support children whose mother language is not Japanese. Their action research project in collaboration with several schools and one university proposed a support system through online media that would soften the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The third article in this issue was written by Oleg KALININ. “Comparative Analysis of Coronavirus Metaphoric Representation in Chinese and Russian Online Media” compared the coronavirus metaphorical image in the online media of China and Russia to find out that their basic difference is in discussing or not discussing the positive outcome of the coronavirus battle, which consequently impacts the public opinion. WANG Aiqing’s “Causation in Classical Chinese during the Warring States Period and in the Han Dynasty” explores causation in Classical Chinese and shows that the strategies to form causation structures are compatible with a prosodic theory, according to which agentive and causative constructions involving covert causative verbs are prosodic words, while those involving overt causative verbs exhibit properties of phrases. The article “’I Am Not Punjabi, My Parents Are’: Degradation of the Language of Dominant Majority” by Sham HAIDAR, Tehreem WALI, Tehreem TAHIR, and Mehwish PARVEEN discuss the present status and explore the predicament of the Punjabi language based on the findings that the Punjabi speakers themselves disown their language and the Punjabi identity due to social, economic, religious, and political reasons. Last but not least, Mária IŠTVÁNOVÁ in her article “On The Use of Corpora in Second Language Acquisition – Chinese as an Example” presents several language corpora and points out advantages of their use in the process of Chinese language acquisition together with some practical examples of the corpora's direct and indirect use for teaching and learning Chinese as a second language. Editors and Editorial board wish the regular and new readers of the ALA journal a pleasant read full of inspiration, and a rise of new research ideas inspired by these papers.

Abstract:
This article is based on qualitative empirical research conducted among social workers/therapists in Flanders/Brussels who have experience in working with children in Muslim families who have been the victims of sexual abuse. The fundamental question underlying this research is whether elements can be identified that are particular to children from Muslim families. Social workers/therapists have indeed discovered differences. This article brings together the perspective of caregivers and the results of an investigation of the relevant literature. Honour and shame are concepts that contribute to taboos surrounding sexual abuse within many Muslim families. For example, great importance is attached to safeguarding the virginity of girls. Social workers/therapists also refer to the shame associated with loss of manliness among abused boys. Talking about sexual abuse incites certain fears that are specific to children from Muslim families: children are afraid of not being believed, of being rejected, and of no longer finding a marriage partner. Moreover, there is sometimes fear of revenge. The importance of family structures was also clearly expressed. Family ties often reach further than the nuclear family. While members of the extended family can be used as a resource, they are often also associated with fear of revenge and shame. Certain role patterns are likewise aspects that influence the provision of aid and assistance following sexual abuse. The results of this research can support social workers and therapists in being attentive specifically to the sexual abuse of children, and to consider Islamic cultural and religious dimensions and experiences.

Full text
Abstract:
The Tibetan Buddhist approach to healing, health and death is rooted in the sacred. Its teachings and techniques create a road map guiding the practitioner through the process of purification called sacred healing. It encompasses foundational Buddhist teachings, sacred Buddhist medicine, and the esoteric healing pathways found in tantra and yoga, which together constitute a detailed and technical guide to healing. The mind is central to all aspects of Tibetan Buddhism. The ability to focus the mind through meditation during life enables the practitioner to prepare for death by experiencing the subtle aspects of the body and mind through the chakras. Both Tibetan spiritual teachers and doctors practise healing and help practitioners learn to focus their minds in preparation for death. The moment of death presents the greatest opportunity for attaining sacred health, but healing can also occur after death. The objective of this thesis is to present the Tibetan Buddhist understanding of sacred healing in relation to life, death, the bardos and suicide through its texts, teachings and techniques.

Abstract:
在香港,這個以華人為主的社會中,民眾對「狐仙」的想像都比較單一,大多離不開潑婦、情婦、腋臭過重等負面的意思。這些印象的形成與中國傳統文學作品中的狐形象和香港流行媒體的渲染,有著非常密切的關係。但作為信仰的象徵,狐仍有其獨特的文化意義。狐仙信仰在中國有著源遠流長的歷史,亦是一種流行於百姓階層中的民間信仰。早在先秦時期,狐已帶有道德上的意義。自唐代以來,狐一直為華北地區的一種古老民間信仰,古人相信老狐可以修道成為神仙助人,亦可以成為妖精祟人,這反映了狐仙的兩個面向。此信仰雖然植根在中國北方,但亦同時出現於華南地區,包括香港。在現今都市化的發展下,狐仙信仰在香港已呈現出一幅跟北方不一樣的面貌。在今日香港,華人為社會上的大多數,相關的民間信仰神祇為數甚多,狐仙信仰亦為其中之一。但長久以來,由於中國宗教往往會簡單地分為制度性宗教與民間宗教,而狐仙信仰則標籤為後者,是制度性宗教的從屬,故相關的研究結果亦不多。故此,有必要進行研究以了解狐仙信仰在今日香港社會的情況。由於相關的文獻資料不多,故筆者主要會進行實地的田野調查,以了解香港狐仙信仰的具體內容。本文將會分為七個章節,除去緒論以及結論的部份,筆者會先了解「狐仙」在歷史上的形成與發展,之後會討論香港民眾對狐仙為何會抱有負面的印象。其後再深入探討狐仙在信仰上的內涵,包括有關狐仙的傳說故事和儀式實踐,並會探討此信仰的善信群體。在了解到香港狐仙信仰的基本資料後,筆者會嘗試引用臺灣以及山東地區的狐仙信仰,從側面的角度,去以了解香港狐仙信仰的獨特性。In Hong Kong, a society with the majority of Chinese, people do have a simple and single imagination towards the idea of "fox", which mostly involved vixen, mistress, excessive underarm odor and other negative meaning. The formation of these impressions has a close relation with the images of "fox" which we found in traditional Chinese literature and the rendering of the popular media. However, as a symbol of faith, fox still has its own unique cultural significance. "Fox belief" has a long history and also popular among the general population in China. The moral significance of "fox" is originated before the Pre-Qin Period. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has become a popular religion among the people in Northern China. Our ancestors believed that the old foxes had the ability to transform into supernatural creatures, which can become either a "God" or a "Monster". Although fox cult was originated at the Northern China, it can also be found in the Southern regions, including Hong Kong. Under the morden urban development, the ritual practices of fox cult in Hong Kong and other regions are very different from on another. Hong Kong, which belongs to the Sinosphere as well, contains thousands of Chinese folk deities, including fox belief. However, due to the traditional systematic Chinese religion system, research is limited in this area as fox belief was perceived to be a popular religion, subordinate to the systematic religion. Hence, there is a need for us to find out the real picture of fox cult in Hong Kong. In this research, field work is the most important method to acquire related knowledge since there are limited archives base on this area. The research will be divided into 7 parts, except the introduction and the conclusion, a historical background towards the formation and development of "Fox Cult" will be first discussed. Then, the common negative impression of Hong Kong people towards "fox spirit" will also be discussed. The main argument will be focusing on the faith connotation of fox cult in Hong Kong, including the legends and ritual practices. Moreover, the faith communities will also be a concern of this research. Lastly, in order to ascertain the uniqueness of fox belief in Hong Kong, fox cult in Taiwan and Shandong will also be introduced under a comparative method.

Abstract:
Most studies of monasticism have concentrated on the religious discourse of asceticism as a withdrawal from the secular world. Based on three months of field research in a Taoist monastery at a holy mountain in Wenzhou, China, however, this thesis describes the close relationship between the monastery and the local society and economy. Social and economic factors influence the decisions of individuals to become monks or nuns. Through networks of lay disciples, the monastery maintains close social links to society. Furthermore, the monastery is intricately tied to the economy as a provider of ritual and tourist services. It is hoped that this thesis will contribute to a better understanding of the place of religious institutions in rural Chinese society.

An examination of the ways in which shame was used during the colonial period both to encourage submission to the colonial project and to resist that oppression. The primary texts to consider are Le vieux nègre et la médaille by Ferdinand Oyono for its depiction of shame’s utility in maintaining social hierarchies and how, ironically, a shameful narrative can contest that power, Les Bouts de bois de Dieu by Ousmane Sembène, for its more strident shaming and addition of economic and legal aspects of shame, and Le pauvre Christ de Bomba by Mongo Beti and L’Aventure ambiguë by Cheikh Hamidou Kane for their inclusion of the role religious shame plays in colonial oppression.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter examines the construction of the idea of “pilgrimage” in the works of key Han kitāb authors Wang Daiyu (1590-1658), Liu Zhi (1670-1724), and Ma Dexin (1794-1874). All three advocated pilgrimage as a religious ideal, but each successive generation gave greater weight to its requirement as an obligatory observance, as Sino-Muslims gradually entered a more interconnected Islamic context. The perception of the ḥajj changed from a symbol of true belief to a potential critical practice, and it finally emerged as an essential religious duty. Wang Daiyu outlined the theological foundations of the pilgrimage and its role as a link to the time of creation and union with God. Liu Zhi underlined the physical practice of potential pilgrims, stressing the ceremonial and experiential aspects of the pilgrimage and detailing the practices it entailed. Ma Dexin emphasized the performative aspect of the journey itself, asserting its doctrinal necessity while arguing for its power to rectify and renew religious understanding.

Abstract:
China’s counterterrorism policy in Xinjiang represents an evolving, complex, and controversial approach to managing ethno-religious tensions. Chinese Communist Party (CCP) General Secretary Xi Jinping is using a spectrum of tactics to combat the ‘three evil forces’ of ethnic separatism, religious extremism, and violent terrorism, ranging from heavy police actions against violent elements to inducements for minorities to enjoy the purported fruits of CCP rule and assimilate into Chinese society. This chapter examines three core aspects of the Xi administration’s counterterrorism policy in Xinjiang: the influence of ideological imperatives in shaping counter-terrorism policy; the “management” of religious affairs; and the use of militarized policing and surveillance.

Chinese society has changed profoundly in many ways in recent decades. ‘Is Chinese society modern?’ analyses relations between men and women, countryside and city, and duties and obligations of the state and people in order to see how far Chinese society has modernized and whether this is at odds with the maintenance of the Chinese identity. There are aspects of contemporary Chinese society that have not changed: religious practice, preferences for male children in the countryside, and stress on hierarchy. Other aspects have seen massive change: a globalized economy, the language of equality and rights, and the closeness of the state and the people.

Abstract:
Chapter 1 introduces Marshallese social and economic life, arguing that in the Marshall Islands age is power and power is age. The chapter tells the story of a young woman who faces a very common situation in the Marshall Islands: a request from a relative to adopt her newborn infant. Examining how and why different family members had the right to claim this infant, the chapter also discusses Marshallese history, social life, interaction patterns, and the culturally specific emotion āliklik (shame). Readers will learn about Marshallese kinship patterns, economic practices, colonial and postcolonial histories, religious organizations, subjectivities, and the power of age. As the chapter discusses different aspects of Marshallese history and society, it becomes clear that kin and age relationships were themselves transformed by negotiations for an infant girl.

Abstract:
COVID-19 posed a serious challenge to the world, especially the healthcare workers. The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared it a pandemic on January 30, 2020 and raised a caution across the world. From China to Italy and Spain, it gradually engulfed the entire world in its fold. The worst affected was the United States. And then arrived the second wave. Studies were carried out covering different aspects of this pandemic. Slowly and gradually people, especially the healthcare workers, succumbed to psychological stress, and their satisfaction with life began to deteriorate. Their subjective happiness was adversely affected. This necessitated the conduct of more studies in the area. This chapter explores the effect of psychological well-being on satisfaction with life of the healthcare workers during COVID-19 and the moderating role of gender diversity.

Abstract:
This chapter studies the role of women in the current revival of Confucianism, from their participation in intellectual debates regarding Confucianism, to their promotion of Confucian thoughts in popular culture, to their participation in ancestral worship rituals. The revival of Confucianism in Mainland China takes many forms, from a revival of Confucian education, such as after-school classes focusing on the teaching of the Confucian canon, to the intensification of scholarship on Confucian thought in academia. There is also the state's effort to promote Confucianism as the dominant Chinese cultural ideology. This myriad development is not surprising, for it corresponds to the many aspects of Confucianism as historical, political, institutional, cultural, educational, philosophical, and religious systems of ideas and practices.

Abstract:
Sociology was founded in 19th century Europe and was institutionally formed in the mid-20th century United States. Its core concepts were shaped by those two historical-cultural milieux. As a result, the discipline sees the world as centred on the Global North, with the rest of humanity still embedded in ‘tradition’. Though sociologists recognize this approach’s flaws, this origin still shapes their teaching and research. This chapter shows how concepts developed in two non-Euro-American civilizations can improve contemporary sociology’s understanding of aspects of social life worldwide. The first set of concepts comes from Confucian China; it emphasizes the important role that maintaining right relationships plays in religious life. The second set comes from 14th-century North Africa; it helps understand the interactions between ethnicity and religion in a deeper way than is possible for a sociology that puts these two things into separate conceptual boxes. These illustrate the benefit for world sociology of overcoming the discipline’s theoretical ethnocentrism.
