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.

The Dazu Rock Carvings in Chongqing, China, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, date from the 9th to 13th centuries and showcase a blend of Buddhist, Confucian, and Taoist influences. The reclining Buddha depicted in the images represents Shakyamuni Buddha entering Nirvana, surrounded by disciples and bodhisattvas symbolizing reverence and enlightenment. These carvings, renowned for their artistic excellence, provide insight into the religious practices and cultural values of Tang and Song China, highlighting the harmonious coexistence of spiritual traditions.

I created a starter pack for sociologists studying China: go.bsky.app/NetJdDm. We study China’s labor, gender, family, inequality, organizations, education, professions, media, civil society, protests, immigration, as well as politics and history. Let me know if you want to be added (or removed).
