   Syncretism, however, was the main attraction of Daoism for Qing China. In some instances, Buddhist rites were adopted by Daoist monasteries. In other cases, Buddhist monasteries merged with Daoist ones. Such blending could result in primarily Buddhist temple complexes where certain elements of Daoist worship were retained, as was the case at Baiyunshan in Jia county, Shaanxi; half-Buddhist, half-Daoist settings such as Gaomiao in Zhongwei; or fully syncretic monasteries in which Buddhas, Laozi, and Confucius were all worshiped, such as the Xuankongsi in Hunyuan, Shanxi.

   Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), often referred to by doctors today as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), is a type of arthritis that causes joint inflammation and stiffness for more than six weeks in a child aged 16 or younger. It affects approximately 50,000 children in the United States. Inflammation causes redness, swelling, warmth, and soreness in the joints, although many children with JRA do not complain of joint pain.
