I have always wanted to publish my articles, which I hope to improve in time with more polishing and academic discourse with critics.<BR/><BR/>At the moment, my articles on Foochow customs, rites, mores and values will remain, simple, homegrown documentation.<BR/><BR/>I remain humbled by your insightful reading.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.<BR/><BR/>ChangyiI Am Sarawakianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03200800879915444217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546144304817504265.post-91367426608248012722007-11-01T13:47:00.000+08:002007-11-01T13:47:00.000+08:00Dear Chang Yi,I must say this article about Foocho...Dear Chang Yi,<BR/><BR/>I must say this article about Foochow "chuor nguok tieh" is very interesting indeed. You have got all the etnographic details here to publish it in a serious anthropological journal. Or has it already been published or presented in a seminar somewhere? A trained anthropologist would probably start the article by providing some brief notes regarding various Chinese concepts (or theories) relating to suitable and unsuitable food during the post-partum period. You have the two important Chinese concepts of Yin and Yang there in your article. This information about Chinese ideas or concepts relating to sickness and health at the early part of the article would provide the reader sufficient background info to understand the main part of the article and the various prohibitions and prescriptions regarding food during the confinement period. In some societies the restrictions regarding food and physical actions start even before the child-birth to ensure that both the mother and her child is safe and in excellent health. Are you going to keep this article in the present form? Or is this going to be published as a chapter in your future book on Foochows (or Hockchew as they are known in Peninsular Malaysia).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
