- We follow the forays of a "barefoot doctor" collecting herbs in the central Taiwan mountains during the 1970s, and observe his religious practices to cure his patients using Chinese herbal medicines as well as summoning spiritual forces.
- From 2001 to 2014, I have visited my home village in Julu, Hepei, China for many times to study the traditional lineage system there, as well as the rituals and ceremonies, among which, the most fascinating one is the grave rituals on the Qing Ming festival.
- In the summer of 2006, I went to Zhouguan, a Tunpu village in a multi-ethnic area of southwest China. Renowned for its performances of the Dixi exorcism operas, the village elders believe that they are descendants of ethnic Han military colonists in the early Ming Dynasty. When local businessmen and government officials began to take control of the staging of these plays, the elders told me that "authentic" performances were no longer possible.
- In the 1970s Dr. Gary Seaman made a series of ethnographic films featuring village life in a Taiwanese mountain village. This film merges images from Taiwan with verbal ethnographic description from Fujian to provide the audience with a multimodal integration of visual and written ethnography of Chinese social life.
