  7. Here's a historic photo of Empress Dowager Cixi's mother, Lady Fuca, taken in 1876. Dressed in full Manchu noble regalia, her image embodies late Qing aristocracy. Cixi, unable to attend the birthday herself, reportedly wrote a poem for her mother, giving us the famous line: "How selfless is a parent's love for their child." A blend of portraiture and enduring lore.

  12. Fujian College was short-lived—existing only about 20 years. Its predecessor was the Private Fujian Law and Political Academy (1911), then Fujian University (1925), then Private Fujian College (1929), and dissolved in 1951. This triangular enamel badge (4.5cm per side) is rare and truly a collector's gem. 📜🔺

  22. Actually, I would like to know more about Chinese history; I have some brief highlights from a broad upper level class I took on Eastern Asian history about, uh… a long time ago; it covered mostly modern stuff for China, such as Chiang Kai-shek, Mao, Cultural Revolution, etc, as well as some stuff about Japan and a little about Korea. But it was all modern (which, you know, useful! but), a long time ago, and covered multiple nations.

    Does anyone know of a good book or series of history books on Asia? I’m mostly interested in pre-modern, in this case, and maybe aimed at something that isn’t designed to be a textbook… mostly because I have plenty of reading to do already and some books, while excellent resources, can be… a bit dry for bedtime reading. My curiosity is currently driven by wanting to know about pre modern China buuuuut recommendations in general are appreciated!

  27. The Passing of Zi Zhen 子真之逝

    #HistoricalFiction #ShangDynasty #China c. 1040 BCE
    Reign of Di Xin of Shang

    #Wss366 Railing #WritersCoffeeClub April 2: Visual presentation

    Daji watched from the #railing of the Peacock Terrace. Below, the fire cast a ruddy tint on her fair features. Incense hid the scent of heated bronze.

    Below her, Zi Zhen passed
         hands bound
             casting an imploring look up at her.

    She smiled, reciting:

              Dongting
              Reflection glories
              Humble carp
              In evening dimming
              Gasps not singing [Note 1]

    Note 1: The humble man, mistaking passing glory for reality, dies as he was born

    Commentary: Daji was the favorite consort of Di Xin of Shang the last Emperor of the Shang dynasty (Reign 1075–1046 BCE). Legend has it that Daji delighted in executions carried out with a pào lào (roasting pillar). The condemned person was forced to embrace a bronze tube filled with coals. Zi Zhen is a fictional character.

    Everyone go and look at the bibliography @Forestofglory compiled for me for Fandom Trumps Hate!

    The Liao Dynasty and the Khitans are topics I've found hard to research myself, and I knew Forest would be great at finding material on their, well, material culture. She found so many cool things to read and I love how she contextualised them all here! 💚
