I am particularly grateful to the people of Sanxia, whose hospitality and generosity made my research possible. It is impossible to mention everyone who helped by name, but I want to thank especially Zheng Youcai, Huang Yuanlong and Wang Hongzhi, who opened many doors for me; Liu Bingzhen and his entire family, who looked after me; and the staffs of the Changfu Yan and Cede Si, who always helped me with patience and care. Guo Shuhua served as my assistant, and her help made the scope of the research possible. The Institute of Ethnology at the Academia Sinica provided me with an institutional home, and its faculty was an important source of intellectual stimulation. Emily Martin advised the dissertation research on which much of the book is based. She, Stevan Harrell and Alice Ingerson
