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 #chineseart.
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:

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 #ChineseModernity in planes, rockets, spacecrafts, and #teleportation ?

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! 😋🍚
