Most previous studies performed in Western social contexts have revealed that religion can influence an individual’s sense of happiness. Few studies have sought to clarify the influence of religion in a Chinese social context, however, and there has been no study specifically about the potential differences in the dichotomous social environments of urban and rural areas in China. Via the nationwide survey data of the 2007 Spiritual Life Study of Chinese Residents (SLSC), this study examines the association between religion and happiness among urban and rural residents of China. The results reveal that there is a generally positive association between religion and happiness among those with religious affiliations in China. Regardless of affiliation with Buddhism or Protestantism, there is a strong positive association among rural respondents, an insignificant association among urban respondents, and mixed results among town residents.

As is well known, the arrival and settlement of the Portuguese in Maritime Asia were determined by the conveniences of the Crown. As the driving force, financier, and administrator of the expansionist enterprise, the Crown left limited room for manoeuvre to private initiatives and the pursuit of their respective economic gains. The practice of maritime seizures, established early on in the waters of the Western Indian Ocean as a result of competition with Muslim trade and routes, was likewise regulated, thus constituting a legal framework for privateering. Although written sources on the subject are not abundant, the parallel development of piracy by Portuguese subjects throughout the sixteenth century has become evident. Several cases exemplified this kind of situation. These included, first and foremost, the violation of rules in the course of naval missions carried out under the aegis of the Estado da Índia, but also desertions from official service, motivated by problems with the Justice system or by mere personal ambition, followed by the free exercise of raids. Also noteworthy are the trajectories of other men who, either for extended periods or permanently, settled in areas of the so-called Shadow Empire, incorporating piracy into their activities.

Presentation silver is one of the most enduring forms of the art of silver-making, which succeeds in blending style and aesthetics with a pure human need to express appreciations or to offer congratulations. For the sake of scholarship, so little attention has been paid to the Chinese presentation silver pieces with some crucial historic figures that firmly connect the history of China with internationally its engaged past. This article will introduce such silver pieces of three people that would shed new light on the material cultural history about silver and some relevant people and events. We hope this paper will be the beginning of many to focus specifically on historic silver pieces so that we gain a better understanding of the roles they play in the undocumented history of China and its study.
