1. How seriously did late imperial China's rulers treat their pets and/or job of archiving their everyday lives? Here're 2 registers from the No. 1 Historical Archives of the Qing royal family's cats and dogs (with names & years of birth/death). Two cats died after 9 years & one dog after 15 years.

After twenty years of field work and digital collection, there are inevitably some intriguing or truly remarkable items in my collection that I may share from time to time, including interesting samples from a variety of legal texts and judicial archives from the Qing period (1644-1911).

Took many pictures during my fall 2023 visiting professorship at Peking Univ. Here's the iconic Reclining Shakyamuni Buddha entering Nirvana at the Dazu Rock Carvings in Chongqing, PRC, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (dated 9th-13th centuries) with a blend of Buddhist, Confucian & Taoist influences.

Professor Chen's first Chinese anthology, long in the making, is expected to be published in the next two weeks or so!
Pleased to share a Chinese anthology of my research articles that will be published this month. With 14 chapters, it includes most of my research articles over the last fifteen years outside the monographs. It took 4 years for retranslating/editing/revising/proofreading. More info. at t.cn/A6n3tcDh

Repost (replacing the previous pack due to technical issue). You're welcome to join this more focused group of international scholars working on late imperial China. Please feel free to share and reply if you're interested, and add hashtag #lateimperialchina to future posts.
