@julien25181 @quiet_corner26 如果有外蒙的人这么想一点不奇怪，除去唯一的共识：崇拜伟大祖先成吉思汗，蒙古人相互仇视是常态。

@kuroneco1022246 @quiet_corner26 在儒家的观念中，夷狄之所以是夷狄是因为没有被教化。这种说法反应了儒家秩序下的世界观，即华夷之辨。华和夷是一种二元对立的关系。因此它并不是要把夷狄改造成华夏，它只是承认华和夷的身份标签不是固定不变的。

@altire4 @quiet_corner26 到不一定非得是汉人官僚，比如元朝的耶律楚材就是契丹人，而且掌权的还有色目人。但先要进入中华的游戏规则这倒是真的。

Photographer Florian Riou captured this rare phenomenon, in which red flashes appear high above thunderstorms and last only a few milliseconds

韦伯拍摄到11000光年之外的仙后座A超新星遗迹，它一个不断膨胀的超新星残骸。创造出这一遗迹的超新星爆发所产生的光，大约在350年前首次被人类观测到，图像中最显眼的颜色是一块块的亮橙色和浅粉色，它们构成了这个超新星遗迹的内壳。这些微小的气体团由来自恒星的硫、氧、氩和氖组成。

Se sigue usando exactamente igual que hace 500 años.

​Hablo del quechquemitl (o quesqueme). Viene del náhuatl quechtli (cuello) y quemitl (ropa o manta), literal, «ropa del cuello».

​Ves a las mujeres de hoy y el porte es idéntico al del siglo XVI. Misma prenda, mismo gesto, misma presencia.

​Hoy, en el Día de la Raza, sobran los debates morales sobre 1492. La realidad material es más fría, somos el resultado de un proceso histórico, y esa evidencia te la topas caminando en la calle todos los días.

this changed in the 14th–13th c. bce, when anyang archaeology shows steppe peoples joining the shang.

[Duke @hh_ffgh]

the shang chariot force. in correspondence with prof. zhu fenghan, prof. jessica rawson explicitly noted that the relationship between late shang (anyang) and the northern steppe resembled that between rome and the germanic tribes, or the hittites and the mitanni charioteers.

[Duke @hh_ffgh]

chariots were the bronze age’s most expensive and complex war machines. driving, maintaining, and taming horses required technologies that the agricultural populations of the central plains lacked.

High above the snow line amid the vast Tianshan Mountains, at an altitude of 3,000–4,800 meters, the Xinjiang Tianshan snow lotus thrives in the extreme conditions of bitter cold, thin air and intense ultraviolet radiation.

completing a feedback loop of being charged attempting to control without a stable carrier, and finally being reshaped by the structure itself.

[Duke @hh_ffgh]

three transmissions energy features. in this liu ren六壬 chart the initial chou丑 earth phase is about external input building up the base:a charging stage. when it jumps to mao卯 wood, the direction flips and the subject begins to project control.

[Duke @hh_ffgh]

but because mao is void and carries teng she腾蛇, that outward push lacks stable grounding; the transmission channel fractures. by the time it reaches si巳 fire, the energy takes concrete form as structural constraints on the subject,

Look how happy Sub-Saharan Africans are in their natural habitat. This is where they belong, they are a Stone Age people that got boosted from Whites. Now look at the damage they’ve caused to our civilisations, deport them all & let them live happily like this again.
