• W3139675376 abstract "A geographic study of locust cult in China, in relation to its ecological and cultural-historical basis, reveals fact that there is a very high degree of association (a significant correlation coefficient of 0.88) between frequency of locust infestations and number of cult temples established. Temples adhering to different cult systems were built in which to perform propitiatory rituals designed to minimize plagues of insects, thereby alleviating popular anxiety caused by depredations. In interpreting this cultural-ecological relationship concept of social equilibrium was applied to construction of a stress-and-strain model. Culture is viewed as human coping process against environmental stress, locust cult temples and performed rituals being output products. serving to restore social equilibrium. Under eight cult systems concerned with locust rituals, some 870 locust temples have been built within vicinity of walled cities over centuries. The largest numbers of locust temples are in North China Plain, Lower Yangtze Valley, and eastern half of northwestern mountain belt, zone wherein locust infestations are most severe. Surrounding this primary sector is a marginal region of, generally, fewer temples, since locust problem in this outer zone is less severe in extent. HUMAN beings, individually, in local groups, and by whole societies, undergo accumulation of stresses of different degrees of magnitude when trials and troubles beset them. It is normal, under such conditions, for human beings to seek to alleviate those stresses in some manner, particular form of alleviation being dependent upon source of troubles and upon level and particular construct of culture group suffering stress. Troubles which originate in behavior of one's own fellows often tend to be alleviated by social reaction in particular ways, and prescription of new or different norms for behavior may follow in an attempt to prevent such future stress. However, when local or societal ecologic balance is upset by such natural phenomena as a severe earthquake, a raging storm, a severe drought, an epidemic of disease, or a plague of insects that devour crops, alleviation of stress must take some different form. Among traditional folk societies suffering ecologic imbalance and accumulated stress from natural sources, consequent social practices frequently evolved as Accepted for publication May 25, 1968. activities propitiatory to the gods who were thought to have inflicted their ill will upon mankind. Among modern and technologically advanced societies suffering major occurrences of what legally are termed acts of God, varying forms of governmentally sponsored public works may be carried out with object of preventing recurrence or alleviating damage in future, and varying systems of government relief may be put into operation to alleviate stresses accumulated by individuals in a society. This is an overly brief statement of what compensation follows occurrence of ecologic imbalance, but even in such generalized form it may serve to introduce this article. In review of different cultural systems there may be found many interesting and geographically significant patterns of reactions to stress derived from natural sources. This paper is concerned with general problem of alleviation of ecologic stress through some form of cultural practice, but it approaches subject via illustrative method rather than arguing case on purely theoretical terms. Natural calamities have provoked almost constant states of stress to people of China. One aspect of this is well indicated in a study of recurrence of flood and drought in" @default.
