I am presenting recent research on Fugitive Law (逃人法) in early #Qing era (c. 1644-1658).

Welcome to our discussion!

Sijie Hu confirms marital fertility was moderate in Qing China 1620-1900. No clear evidence of early stopping or longer spacing implying an absence of conscious fertility control. Still, cultural practices eg polygyny lowered marital fertility. Based on new data for 7767 women in 5 lineages. Open access in Asia-Pacific Econ His Rev @apehr

Annalena #Baerbock (#Grüne|G\EFA): “La mia controparte #Qing dice che i diritti umani non sono universali? Certo che lo sono, i diritti sanciti dalla Carta delle Nazioni Unite e dalla Dichiarazione universale dei diritti dell'uomo sono universali perché vincolano tutti gli stati delle Nazioni Unite.”

#FishyFriday: Gong Gu, Nine Carp, #Qing dynasty, 19th c.?, set of 4 hanging scrolls, ink & color on paper
>IIt refers to “nine similitudes" - nine comparisons that imply eternity or longevity ("like mountains," "like streams," and so on). Because the term for "similitude" sounds like the term for "fish,” paintings of nine fish became conventional expressions of wishes for longevity and constancy.<

This is a good take, but it overlooks the fact that Chang Kai Shek looted all the #gold from the #Qing and #Ming dynasties.... and still lost the #war.

Also, the #Vietnamese won. And the #Taliban won.

Recent research involves the Han servant escaping from Manchu family in Kangxi period (c. 1660s-1720s), or say, the "Fugitive Law" 逃人法.

I can't help considering anachronism in contrast with what we learned in the storm of 2022. It is the same nightmare.

#History #China #Qing

parliamo di #Storia dell'Impero cinese

La dinastia #Qing fu l'ultima dinastia cinese

la sua caduta nel 1912 per mano della Rivoluzione Xinhai guidata dal leader repubblicano di educazione occidentale Sun Yat-sen
segnò la nascita della #Cina moderna

la Repubblica originaria
comprendeva circa l'80% dei territori ancora in possesso del Grande Qing prima della sua caduta incluse la Mongolia e Taiwan

The focus of such 'amazing price at auction' news stories is always on money value and implied greed or luck of seller - not technology, art, culture, history and the value that cannot be monetised.

A beautiful vase is reduced to the same as a lottery ticket or NFT. It is not, nor should we let people lie to us that it is.

Capitalism rots the soul. If it had not been monetised would they even have found the vase newsworthy? Soulless hacks!
