0-1 phoenix/dragon character (fu = fortune).JPG The first painting one sees entering the house is of the character “fu” which means good fortune, in the shape of a dragon and phoenix (photo 0-1). Photo 3 also shows a carving of a Dragon. In Chinese culture, the dragon is a symbol of benevolence and prosperity (PrimalTrek), said to bring water to lands in drought. The dragon is also the ultimate symbol of Qi, or cosmic energy (Wang, Yang). The dragon is moreover a symbol for the emperor, as it is the king of mythical beasts. The dragon’s association with the emperor makes it a symbol for imperial high rank, or a family’s desire to achieve imperial high rank. The dragon also represents masculinity (Wang, Yang). Photos 4-6 show carvings of a phoenix. The phoenix is the dragon’s counterpart, the symbol of the empress and representative of femininity. When the phoenix and dragon are together, it is symbolic of a perfect marriage. The phoenix is a high imperial symbol, both as the symbol of the empress and as the king of winged beasts. The phoenix also represents “fulu”, or good fortune, and opportunity, as it only appears during times of peace and prosperity. The phoenix is associated with four different virtues: righteousness, propriety, knowledge and sincerity (Wang, Yang).

Water Samples Students collecting water samples in the Tongue of the Lake.
Wetland 1 To tour the wetlands we must take a boat through the water, which ranges from 2 ft to 6ft deep. We conducted research at three areas of the wetland: the head, where two streams enter the wetland; the pavilion, in the center of the wetland; and the tail of the wetland, where the water runs out in one river to Lake Erhai.
Wetland 2 At the wetlands we conducted several water tests to determine the quality of the water entering, passing through, and exiting the wetlands. We tested for dissolved oxygen amounts, nutrient levels, and Macroinvertebrate populations. With waders and nets at the head of the wetland, we sampled to gather Macroinvertebrates living in the emergent vegetation.
Wetland 3 At the wetlands we also conducted water tests such as turbidity, pH, and water temperature. We used a Secchi Disk, dropped to the bottom of the wetland to determine clarity. At the pavilion, with our waders and nets, we sampled Macroinvertebrates living in the submerged vegetation.
Wetland 4 After collecting macro invertebrate samples from the three areas of the wetland: head, pavilion, and tail, we counted and identified the macro invertebrates. Once back at Yang Zhuoran, we looked up each species' tolerance levels to help to determine water quality of the wetland.
Wetland Data Data table of water quality tests and Macroinvertebrates found at the wetlands. Analysis found in wetland text.
