Historical Tyrants: Qin Shi Huang | Chinese History
#ChineseHistory
Tôn Tẩm - vị tướng tài ba với khí phách phi phàm, thông minh, cởi mở và là đối thủ xứng tầm của Gia Cát Lượng, nhưng trong suốt nghìn năm lại bị gán cho danh tiếng hẹp hòi, đố kỵ. Sự thật lịch sử dường như đã trao nhầm oan cho ông, khi chính sự lỗi lạc của Tôn Tẩm mới là điều khiến hậu thế cần ghi nhớ. #TongTuc #GiaCatLuong #TamQuoc #LichSu #TônTẩm #GiaCátLượng #TamQuốc #LịchSử #ChineseHistory #ThreeKingdoms

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! 💚

Tào Tháo nắm quyền lực trong tay, kiểm soát hoàng đế và triều đình, nhưng suốt đời không xưng đế. Vì sao? Ông hiểu rằng danh nghĩa "phò chúa cứu dân" giúp ông hợp pháp hóa hành động, thu phục nhân tâm và kiểm soát các phe phái. Xưng đế dễ gây phản cảm, làm mất lợi thế chính trị trước Tôn Quyền, Lưu Bị. Tào Tháo chọn làm "Chu Văn Vương" – dọn đường cho con nối nghiệp, giữ danh vị chí cao mà không mang tiếng mưu nghịch.

You'll see stone lanterns in many Asian gardens & lining pathways & entrances of Buddhist temples. They have a long history.
History of stone lanterns:
#StoneLanterns have been known in #China as early as the Han dynasty (202 BCE–220 CE), and prevailed from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties all the way up to the Tang Dynasty, when they were introduced to #Japan. The earliest known extant stone lantern in China is the Northern Qi (550-577) stone lantern in the remains of Tongzi Temple in Taiyuan, Shanxi. Other early stone lanterns which date from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) remain extant in several temples around China, such as the stone lantern in Faxing Temple in Zhangzi, Shanxi which was built in 773.

Yuan Shikai was a shit who ruined the true chance at democracy that China had after the fall of the Qing.
My lunchtime reading was about the Wanggongcheng Explosion in 1626: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanggongchang_Explosion
Reportedly, 20,000 people died, the gunpowder factory at the epicentre became a 6.5-metre-deep crater, a three-tonne stone lion was thrown over the city wall, and the Crown Prince died of shock—leading to the ascension of the Chongzhen Emperor the next year, and we all know how well that went. (Hint: the fall of the Ming Dynasty was in 1644.)
Does anyone know of good films, series, books or articles about this incident? The Chinese Wikipedia page lists some, but they’re… in Chinese…
I’m 92% of the way through Outlaws of the Marsh. This part is loosely based on actual history, Song Jiang was one of the commanders sent to fight Fang La’s rebellion.
I can tell I’m getting close to the end. Some of the Chieftains have died. Being a Heavenly Spirit or an Earthly Fiend only means they make it to the oath in chapter 72, each has a destiny awaiting them.

Không phải Lữ Bố, **Lã Bố** mới thực sự là võ tướng "siêu phàm" nhất thời Tam Quốc! Ông từng được mô tả **"dùng tay kéo trâu giật lùi trăm bước"** - sức mạnh khó tin đến mức thần thoại. Thần thánh thay!

Another war indemnity (Boxer Protocol, 1901) 450 million taels of gold, Qing national income was 250 million at the time. So strange that China doesn't like the west.
This was fully paid off in 1940. Yikes.

I've just finished reading Jonathan Spence's "The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci", an inventively organized study of the life of a leading early Jesuit missionary in Ming China.
Now I want to read something substantial on the Rites Controversy.
Suggestions welcome!

When I started listening to the Beyond Huaxia podcast, I was disappointed that so much of it was focused on 20th-century history—but having read (and loved) Moment in Peking earlier this year, I find myself with far more interest in and context for it.
