Research Abstract

This research involved the conducting of case studies with a focus on Wujin and Xinhe Prefectures, which are located in South and North China, respectively, and was principally aimed at collecting and organizing basic data to be used for a comprehensive discussion of the transition and current status of Chinese society on a prefectural basis during the past hundred years. Wujin Prefecture is located in the Yangtze Delta region and has a developed economy and culture, while Xinhe Prefecture is a typical "third-class prefecture" that is located in the North China Plains region ; however, both prefectures are typical of their respective regions. During this four-year study period, five groups were dispatched to Wujin Prefecture, and two groups were dispatched to Xinhe Prefecture, to perform field investigations and the collection of documents.
In Wujin Prefecture, new versions of "The History of Wujin Prefecture" and "The History of Changzhou City," as well as a total of 84 volumes of Coun … More ty/City history and topical history of Wujin Ward were obtained on site. In addition, a new version of "The History of Xinhe Prefecture" was obtained in Xinhe Prefecture. Those documents allowed for a compilation of lists concerning distances from the prefectural capital, directions, locations on maps, clans, geology, products, markets, festivals, temples, schools, and etc., for 68 County/City levels in Wujin Prefecture and for 175 natural village levels in Xinhe Prefecture. In addition, the utilization of these data resulted in a detailed analysis concerning the transition of natural villages and the population movement for a period of more than one century, from 1875 to 1988, for Xinhe Prefecture.
Furthermore, oral investigations conducted in both prefectures focused on the issue of the folk beliefs, for which change is comparatively easier to trace, resulting in the accumulation of detailed records. In particular, the investigation in Wujin Prefecture fully covered four religions, Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity and Islamism, extending its coverage up to Yancheng in Subei, where many Wujin Prefecture priests are from.
