I think we should just throw it out with all our might. (uh, Wastes Control Act is waiting there.)

@oreste_comics Manchu lady of a slim thick, curvy shape. I sense a bit irony but heavily satisfied. Thank you!

@kampfwagen_I To be honest, it would be relatively easy to look for examples in Ukiyo-e prints, as the Japanese Empire produced a many works on this subject. But I'd not post them here.

[Zen @Aerotinge]

@kampfwagen_I My first thought was that there might be some similar works from the Ming or Ch'ing empires too, and it turns out there were some.
「���國來朝圖」 is an example, although it's rather a heavily Gonbi ruled-line painting rather than a documentary one.

@kampfwagen_I If military themes only, color woodblock prints or lithographs from late Ch'ing dynasty pictorial magazines are also a viable option. Here's〈宋劉二帥克復九連城〉in First Sino-Japanese War.

@tonaitoo In the Ming empire, some generals used war drums and whistles to control volleys of arrows.
While in some movies, we can see verbal order issued, but these cannot be taken seriously as historical reconstructions.
E.g, Hero(2002)

@CZ064678543 @moriko38 These VoC ships are de facto privateer. The year 1622 is particularly noteworthy, as that year they attacked Macau, a Portuguese stronghold in East Asia, and later occupied Pescadores. Merchant ships? You'd better consider them as an armed force.

@moriko38 Unhealthy relationships of Confucian Scholars
Ming scholar: Dating with a weasel, foxes are even better.
Joseon scholar: Tame a rodent and collecting fingernails of hottest Kisaeng

@gogochiong @amikawa125 確實，我在木新路上的越南大食館裡也有過聽到廣東話的經驗。

[Zen @Aerotinge]

@moriko38 This reminds me that, in Manchuria, the warmest spot was reserved for the elderly. Was it the same in Joseon?

[Zen @Aerotinge]

@moriko38 From a modern diplomatic perspective, Joseon’s reception was appropriate and did not overstep any boundaries. On the contrary, the Shogunate’s approach resembled modern-day checkbook diplomacy.

@nekomimoid @moriko38 It was a shared/borrowed Sino-literary vocabulary/idea.
Chinese had a long tradition of using derogatory terms to disdain people who look different from "themselves".
The highest form of these terms is to alienate people into snakes, insects, or demons(ghosts).

@shigenori14294 Good evening. I've also finished the multiplier and threshold measurement for タルタ��スゲート. Would you mind taking a look, or even verifying it?
If I'm not mistaken on the data, this spell has an ill design.

@moriko38 To achieves harmony with deities,
• Mudang ringing bells, drumming, singing, and waving clothes. Multiple deities visit in turn.
• Dang-gi ringing bells, piercing (his own cheeks), and waving a spiked flail to stab himself. Mostly one deity per ritual.

[Zen @Aerotinge]

@moriko38 The spirit possession medium: Korean Mudang(무당) vs Taiwanese Dang-gi(童乩)
• Both involve becoming a clergyman through illness or family inheritance.
• Both are trained to perform controlled possession.

@moriko38 Date an eunuch? or are eunuchs considered "colleagues"

[Zen @Aerotinge]

@moriko38 It's hard to translate "豈與衆共之之意哉"(어찌 여러 사람과 함께 ���는 뜻이겠는가) in an English context.
A more literal but verbose translation could be "How could this be called the spirit of brothers-in-arms?"
