    What many call "#Qing" (giving the erroneous impression that #Chinese controlled #Taiwan 🇳🇫) should actually be called "#Manchu" as the #Han_Chinese considered the Manchus to be "foreign invaders."

  2. Et enfin, le « cahier » bonus consacré aux croquis et recherches graphiques. Sublime et inspirant. Merci Bureau 21, et surtout merci #Manchu de nous faire rêver.

  3. Deuxième ouvrage de Bureau 21 consacré à l’immense #Manchu. Des étoiles plein les yeux…

  4. #Manchu… Le maître. La légende.
    Premier ouvrage du magnifique trio d’#artbooks chez Bureau 21. Chaque page est un voyage.

  5. Now I have to make the connection with #manchu en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchu_... I miss the historical chinese references to match Mongolian and Manchu influences Lots to learn here I suppose.

  6. Precious Seals of the Qing Dynasty 清代寶璽 — a set of one hundred postcards published by the Palace Museum in 1932 which show the Chinese and Manchu inscriptions on the faces of one hundred Qing dynasty imperial seals.

  7. #Manchu is not dead - languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/ "a Tungusic language from Manchuria in Northeast China. Spoken in the #Qing Dynasty, it is critically endangered, and its linguistic traditions continue with the #Sibe people in the Northwest." so good to hear this... #linguistics

  8. Sur Antiquipop, Stéphanie Klein-Théophile analyse la série animée franco-japonaise "Ulysse 31", libre réécriture de "L'Odyssée" dans un univers de space opera, avec Jean Chalopin aux manettes et Manchu aux décors.

    (Part of) #Taiwan 🇳🇫 and (the whole of) #China 🇨🇳 were both parts of the #Manchu (non-Chinese-invader) Empire, but Taiwan was never part of "China."

  10. #DOTD: Yixin 奕訢 (1833–1898), better known in English as #PrinceKung/Gong, Chief Councillor of the Qing # (1636–1911) and member of the ruling #Manchu Aisin-Gioro 愛新覺羅 clan. #ChineseHistory

  11. New Stories from a Burning House post, on the Qianlong Emperor's cats, who probably didn't exist but were still very good. If you've shared this image, you are required to read the post; I don't make the rules.

  12. These two representations of #Manchu-Qing emperors always struck me as revealing in comparison: Kangxi (r. 1661–1722) on the left was perhaps the last emperor in #China who commanded an army on campaign; Qianlong (1735–96) on the right, painted by Giuseppe Castiglione, never did.

    Also, #Taiwan 🇳🇫 was never part of #China 🇨🇳. Both were parts of the #Manchu Empire, but neither Taiwan nor China were part of each other.

  14. In our next #CrossAsiaTalk on March 2 from 6pm @stabi_berlin Oliver Corff will present his research on #Manchu #Lexicology and #Lexicography and what the “edit distance” between two dictionaries can tell about #Qing Manju knowledge and thought. All info here: sbb.berlin/9qmtgz

  15. de Harlez, former professor at KU Leuven, should perhaps be better known among Chinese (esp Qing) historians. He translated various works; wrote voluminously about all sorts of topics inc histories of the Jurchen Jin Empire, of Neo-Confucianism, of color perception, and an introduction to Manchu.

    For an extensive bibliography (also covering his earlier work on Zoroastrianism) read the French (not the English) wikipedia entry:

  16. I recently finished reading "Translating Early Modern China: Ilegible Cities" by my pal Carla Nappi.

    It's a wildly intoxicating book about #history and #memory, about #chinese and #manchu languages, about the slipperiness of #language and #translation, and about the blurred boundaries between #fiction and #nonfiction.

    And the whole thing is deliciously framed as a homage to #ItaloCalvino.

    It's totally worth a read.
