@harukakasugano 不论是左是右,现在都到了必须改革不可的地步了。甚至可以说已经过了改革最好的时机了。但是基本现在断臂求生还是有可能的。不然最后就又是革命。

A fascinating paper for anyone who’s interested in art history, eunuchs, and court gossip from a thousand years ago.

@clear_ship @Thewind 758当真不是泄洪。虽然是偷工减料,也真的是下雨下溃坝的。我姥姥原来暑假的时候经常给我们讲758的事情。但是涿州这个嘛,真的就太惨绝人寰了。天气预警都出来了,泄洪都应该已经是在预备里的事情,居然都不好好准备泄洪区的民生。真的是造孽啊。

Curious if anyone knows any people or hashtags to follow for someone interested in Chinese culture and history? Right now most talk about China seems to be about news and politics and the more specific hashtags aren't very active, though I've been enjoying .

Any suggestions?

I came across a pamphlet in Singapore flea market, "The World Red Swastika Society Prospectus" (世界紅卍字會) - this is a fascinating religious and philanthropic organization tied to one of China's salvationist religious groups, was founded in 1920s. Read their presentation of their own organization in the scanned version of the pamphlet I put on Internet Archive:

Spent a relaxing evening browsing sources unrelated to anything in particular. Wrote up a Frog in a Well blog post on a fun Hong Kong education report I came across:

“Peter The Chinaman”, or Chow Ten, was well known for his hospitality and kindness. He later lost everything in a fire, but was helped by his neighbours. Article link is here: nla.gov.au/nla.news-article101.

So nowadays we have "Navigating the Semi-colonialism" for ships, "Driving toward Modernity" for automobiles, and "Railroads and the Transformation of China" for trains.

Are we ready for searching in planes, rockets, spacecrafts, and ?

I had shelved this project indefinitely because, though I think there are a LOT of interesting things to examine about later Han frugality (aka political posturing during a time when food was scarce), what I really wanted to do was compare the translations... and now I can! 😋🍚
