The role, challenges, and solutions of laboratories in disaster medicine
Objectives: Laboratory systems play a critical role in disaster response, yet evidence remains fragmented. This systematic review aimed to describe the roles of clinical, public health, and veterinary laboratories, specifically characterizing Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) and Mobile Laboratories (ML) as flexible operational extensions of the central laboratory system across disaster phases; identify and compare laboratory-related challenges by dis…
A Word from the Guest Editor

Restoring the Living Culture of Local Buddhist Heritage in Luang Prabang
Theravada Buddhism holds an important place among the residents of Luang Prabang, Laos. It is the source of a living culture in the UNESCO Heritage City with rapidly developing tourism. However, with the rise of urbanization and tourism, a large part of Luang Prabang’s population moved to the suburbs, while the center has been filled by commerce. Although the state has made unremitting efforts to protect the appearance of the ancient city, this c…
Molding the East Asian Dragons
The dragon is a special imaginary figure created by the people of East Asia. Its archetypes appeared primarily as totemic symbols of different tribes and groups in the region. The formation of early dynasties probably generated the molding of the dragon symbol. Dragon symbols carried deep imprints of nature. They concealed alternative messages of how ancient people at different locations dealt with or interacted with nature. Under pressure to sta…
Material-Economic Factors of the Kỳ Yên Festival at Vĩnh Bình Communal Temple, Tiền Giang, Vietnam
The economic reform (Đổi mới) that began in 1986 and the current strong development of the market economy have left many marks on almost all aspects of social life in Vietnam, including community beliefs and public ritual space. Material-economic factors penetrate into public ritual spaces (such as a communal temple) and become one of the important driving forces for ritual spaces in some places. Moreover, material-economic values have become imp…
The Formalization and Intensification of Rituals
The worship of “108 Chiêu Ứng Anh Liệt (Efficacy and Heroic Martyrs)” of the Hainan Chinese had its primary form taken place long time ago in Hainan Island but was then standardized and formalized in Vietnam after one incident occurred on the central coast of the country. In 1851, a group of Hainanese merchants were unjustly killed offshore. In the same year, they were vindicated and ordained by King Tự Đức of the Nguyễn Vietnam. With imperial sa…
The ritual incorporation and cross-cultural communication in Camau, Vietnam
Tianhou (天后) is a popular religious figure rooted in Fujian, China. Historically, she was continuously ‘standardised’ by late imperial China, making this character a standard symbol. In the late 17th century, Chinese immigrants propagated the Tianhou cult in Southern Vietnam, further developed, and made Tianhou the identity marker of their community. However, in Camau and other places of Southern Vietnam, this symbol became partially changed due …
Continuity and Transformation of Rural Communal Temples in Vietnam
Vietnamese communal temples (đình làng) were primarily established with two functions: (1) as a state-patronised institution to organise and control the village politically and culturally and (2) as a place of worship of village deities and meritorious predecessors. Both functions interact and complement each other - in many cases, the second serves as both a 'means' and 'technique' to deploy the first. However, nowadays the administrative role i…
Philosophical Transmission and Contestation
Southern Vietnam was reclaimed by the Vietnamese in the mid-seventeenth century. They first brought their folk Buddhism and various popular religions to new land; however, the bureaucratic system then forced the Chinese Han–Song dynasties’ institutionalized and politicalized Confucianism on the population. The arrival of the Chinese from overseas since the late seventeenth century marked the introduction of Qing Confucianism into Southern Vietnam…
When the Sage Becomes a “God”
Southern Vietnam’s tradition has been mainly built on Confucian ideology, although it is a transformed one. There have been two types of Confucianism in the region: state-sponsored and mass Confucianism. During the period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, under harsh colonial rule, a number of messianic religious movements emerged. The Minh Đức Nho giáo Đại đạo sect (MĐNGĐĐ, founded in 1932 in Trà Vinh province) is one such mo…
A Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step
This special issue of Asian Studies is dedicated to Confucianism in Vietnam. The idea of this topic has a rather long history. It can be traced back to the second biennial conference of the World Consortium for Research on Confucian Cultures (WCRCC), which took place in Vietnam in 2016 and was hosted by the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University––Ho Chi Minh City under the theme “Confucianism as a Philosophy of …
Crossing boundaries and state-building
