Yengimehelle

From Uyghur يېڭىمەھەللە (yë'ngimehelle).

According to an April 24 report on the Peyziwat (Jiashi) county (Kashgar district) government Web site, government and Communist Party officials in Yéngi Mehelle (Yingmaili) township gathered the büwi of 10 local villages for training in government and Party policy toward religion and to sign a pledge to "uphold stability." Based on the pledge, the women will refrain from "wearing veils or long dresses, teaching religious texts to students, and forcing other individuals to participate in religious activities."

The precaution line of 1999 has extended the trend to the northern part of the Keriya oasis, that is, the natural oasis has extended the desert in some degree，especially in the northern part of Karki village. The 1999 precaution line has a trend of local expansion in the southern part of Langan village, and this is in relation to irrigation and opening up wasteland. The 1999 precaution line is also expanding in Oytograk village in the eastern part of Keriya County and along the Keriya River, owing to the increase of the Keriya River’s flux.

Irrigation has expanded since 1949 with the increase in cultivated land. Agricultural water consumption increased from 300 million m³ in 1949 to more than 600 million m³ in 1980. Thus Figs. 4.9, 4.10, and 4.11 show cultivated areas increased since 1977 in Oytograk (circle1), in the south of the Keriya oasis (circles 2 and 3), and in Laysu (circle 9), and the extension of cultivated lands and the irrigation system contributed to a transformation of some desert areas into oasis.

Barin

The counter-revolutionary armed riot which took place in the Barin town of Aktu County on April 5, 1990 was a well-planned, well-organized and premeditated violent act of a small number of reactionaries and ethnic separatists hidden in Barin. Cloaked in religion, they deceived and forced some blind-minded public to take part in their plot to destroy national unity and overthrow the government. The riot was a rare and the most serious incident carried out by the ethnic separatists since the liberation of Xinjiang.

In 1990, an uprising in Barin town resulted in a clash between Uyghurs and police.

1999, Soledad A Hernando, Emergent Institutions in Asia: Cases and Concepts, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 87:

Uighur discontent rumbled on for many years but the acknowledged turning point was the Barin uprising of 1990, when Afghan-trained Islamists set up loudspeakers in mosques in the villages of Barin and Turand and broadcast speeches praising jihad.¹³ The local police were attacked and their weapons seized, at which point the Chinese government responded decisively. Its overreaction to the Barin uprising only served to attract more Uighurs to the separatist Islamist banner:

Lukang

From the Mandarin Chinese pronunciation for 鹿港 (Lùgǎng) Wade–Giles romanization: Lu⁴-kang³; internationally conventional translation.

Lu-kang (alternative also)
Lugang (alternative Hanyu-Pinyin)

The port of Lukang, about 9 miles west of Changhua, and midway between the north and the south, enjoyed a prosperous trade. It is opposite Ch'uanchow, Fukien, 130 miles away, or one day's journey with a fair wind from the latter[...]

1957, Chʻi-yün Chang, The Essence of Chinese Culture, →OCLC, page 237:

As of October 1968 Lukang, which had a resident population of between 27,000 and 28,000 people, had 39 temples. It is my impression that Lukang has more temples than do most Taiwanese communities of equivalent size. By temple I mean a structure that houses an image, altar, and incense pot, and is freely accessible to the general public. In speaking of the 39 temples of Lukang, I am omitting the numerous small shrines to the unknown dead (Yu Ying Kung), buildings dedicated to ancestors rather than deities (two), Christian churches (four), incense-burner associations that keep their incense pot or image in private homes, and private shrines such as the domestic altars of tang-ki (spirit mediums) or the shrine of the now defunct Ch'üan-chou guild, found in the back room of a drugstore endowed with the guild property.[...]Lukang, seen in comparative perspective, has a lot of temples.

In the 19th century silt deposits began to block the harbour, and the city began to decline. To make matters worse, conservative elements in Lukang refused in the early 20th century to allow trains and modern highways to be built near their city. Lukang became a backwater, only to be reborn decades later when modern Taiwanese began to search for a living connection with the past.
