A mural of Fürstenried castle near #Munich (at the nearby underground station), where our graduate programme on global #philology will host its academic retreat next year. I am currently in charge of planning it, hoping to make this a memorable event for our recently joined PhDs!

A rather interesting dinner location yesterday at #DVCS #Hamburg: a replica of the Yuyuan 豫園 teahouse in #Shanghai. There is a lot of talk on #Chinese replicas of European cities, but this is an example of a contemporary imitation of traditional #ChineseArchitecture! #sinology

As the lack of English secondary literature specifically dedicated to Gongyang Confucianism #公羊學 makes this School of Chinese Philosophy and #Confucianism rather inaccessible, I have decided that it is time for a bibliography post including introductory and more specific works on Gongyang thinkers.

The "Zerwirkgewölbe" (royal game butchery) in #Munich. The building is estimated to date back to the late 13th century and was used as a butchery for game from the royal hunts. It now houses some gastronomy and shops. #history #nobility #hunting #bavaria #animals

Mongolian Association for Manchu Studies is co-organizing a Manchu studies International conference w/ Eotvos Lorand University.

Dunno if I mentioned it here, but National Library of Mongolia has a treasure trove of Manchu-language documents, w/out which "Manchu studies" is rather incomplete IMO 🤔

I just found out that, unbeknownst to me, my "Power Emasculated: Eunuchs, Great Clans and Political Reproduction under the Tang" has a Chinese translation: 去势之势:唐代的宦官、世族与政治繁衍(何弥夏)(www.shsjcb.com/sjcb/view.as...). If anyone can get access to it, please let me know

Back in my days, the whiteboard in the students' room of @lmumuenchen.bsky.social's Department for #ChineseStudies used to be scribbled not with harmless, plain Li Bo #李白! Us cheeky riffraff would write much grittier, rougher stuff... Such as Du Fu #杜甫! #poetry #graffiti #Chinese #studying #unidays

Few people know that in the Englischer Garten, the central park in #Munich, a statue of #Confucius can be found. It was a present by the #Chinese partner province of #Bavaria, #Shandong Province. With statues by #Dostoevsky and #Heine, the master's countenance is an unexpected sight to behold.
