The country magistrate and 'gentry' of En-p’ing hsien raised money for the repair of the local Confucian temple by proposing to build an academy (shu-yüan) to serve as a shrine in honour of local men. People who contributed to the building fund were entitled to put their ancestors' tablets in the shrine, in positions of honour varying with the amounts donated. It proved a successful idea and was copied by others. en 1969 w:Ezra Vogel Canton under Communism: Programs and Politics in a Provincial Capital 1949-1968 https://archive.org/details/cantonundercommu00voge_0/ Cambridge, Mass. w:Harvard University Press 0-674-09475-1 70-91631 444542084 24 https://archive.org/details/cantonundercommu00voge_0/page/24/ People in the Ssu-i (the four counties — T'ai-shan, K'ai-p'ing, Hsin-hui, En-p'ing), for example, though not far from Canton, have their own distinct dialect, which is scarcely intelligible to an ordinary Cantonese. en 1975 w:Wolfram Eberhard The Upper-Class Family in Traditional China w:Charles E.

How far this custom was accepted, is not clear; in En-p’ing (Kuangtung) it was supposedly common (Chung-hua ch’üan-kuo feng-su chih, part 1, chapt. 8, p. 48), while in Yang-chiang (Kuangtung) only upper class women practised it (Yang-chiang hsien-chih 1, p. 63b). en https://archive.org/details/villagefamilyinc00pari/ 1978 Village and Family in Contemporary China William L.

For example, people in four counties to the southwest of Canton- in T'ai-shan, K'ai-p'ing, Hsin-hui, and En-p'ing counties- speak a version of Cantonese which is almost unintelligible to residents of Canton. en 1983 Wanda Garnsey; w:Rewi Alley Kwangtung China, Ancient Kilns and Modern Ceramics: A Guide to the Potteries https://archive.org/details/chinaancientkiln0000garn/ w:Australian National University Press 0708113133 82-074202 470647374 124 https://archive.org/details/chinaancientkiln0000garn/page/124/ Three water wheels provide power for the pottery at En-p’ing, Kwangtung (wasters and shards on hillside) Translations Enping Further reading en 1952 Yanping Leon E.
