The writings of the Kangxi emperor are *really* fascinating. What is truth? How can you learn it? Not just abstract philosophy questions, but real problems for a ruler of a vast empire who must make decisions with imperfect information. Strongly recommend. www.goodreads.com/book/show/28...

Vous vous demandez pourquoi on n'arrive pas à gérer le changement climatique mais on a des pénuries de lunettes à éclipses dont le calendrier est connu au moins depuis des miyers d'années... avant JC.

(certes pas de façon trèèèès précise, mais on a eu le temps de s'améliorer)
Les chinois étaient censés avoir calculé le saros, période utilisée pour prédire les éclipses. Une légende chinoise veut qu'en l'an 2136 av. J.-C., les astrologues de la cour de l'empereur Chung K'ang, Hi et Ho, furent décapités par la suite d'une éclipse de Soleil non prédite[12].

"In the 1860s [Qianlong's coins] were often considered to be worth one-quarter of an American cent instead of the usual one-sixth of a cent for coins of the other [Chinese dynasties]"

staff.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/wp-content/u...
This pattern of dating on imported coins of the historic period is not unexpected since the 60-year Chien Lung period and the 61-year K'ang Hsi period produced far more coins than later periods. The copper Chien Lung "cash" coin was also valued higher than others because of the luck inherent in the longevity of this emperor's reign and because of a traditional belief that the coins contained minute traces of gold. In the 1860s they were often considered to be worth one-quarter of an American cent instead of the usual one-sixth of a cent for coins of the other periods or the Japanese or Korean "cash" sometimes mixed with the Chinese coins. Zinc Annamese coins were also used in gambling in British Columbia and were worth one-tenth of a cent.

Baluster Vase https://collections.artsmia.org/art/3078/
Baluster vase, famille verte, rouleau design decorated with reserves enclosing song birds, flowering branches, butterflies. A wide variety of standard vase shapes were developed during the K'ang-hsi region and famille verte enamels were commonly used to decorate them. The designs here are relatively complex featuring reserve panels of small bird and flower scenes set against the richly brocaded grounds that cover nearly all of the vessel's surface. This overtly decorative style was especially popular in export ware sent to European markets.

Plate https://collections.artsmia.org/art/67/
Plate, famille verte; K'ang Hsi period Unlike the monochrome tradition, this finely executed plate represents a less restrained aspect of Qing ceramic taste. Nevertheless, a technical virtuosity is apparent in the overglaze enamels which create a richly varied design of butterflies and flowers on a green stipple ground. A work such as this, eggshell thin and of flawless brushwork, is the reward of 2,500 years of constant effort by the Chinese to create faultless ceramics. It is natural that such exquisite objects often functioned as purely decorative pieces.

Commentary on the Peach Blossom Spring https://collections.artsmia.org/art/45522/
5 lines of calligraphy in black ink; 3 red seals; white silk brocade ground Wang Shih-hung was one of the K'ang-hsi emperor's (1662-1723) favorite calligraphers. A native of Suzhou, he graduated number one in the annual jinshi degree or doctorate examination. Wang was a prolific poet and calligrapher and several collections of his verse have been published. His inscription here is a sardonic commentary on one of China's most revered literary themes: The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring. It reads in part: Mankind, having been informed that a gentleman had become enlightened by viewing peach blossoms, lept forward in unison to sing the praises of the peach blossom. This approach has been reiterated for fifty years and nothing of any relevance is left to enlighten us. This case parallels the story about (the Tang dynasty "wild script" calligrapher) Chang Ch'ang-shih acquiring his method of writing "grass script" by observing a traffic dispute between a porter and a princess. Can one learn Ch'ang-shih's calligraphic style by observing a porter' Written by Wang Shih-hung for Wei Shan-mien, the elder brother of the Way (Tao).

When sending complimentary inquiries to any one in another state, he bowed twice as he escorted his messenger forth. On K’ang Tzu sending him a present of medicine he bowed and accepted it, but said: ‘As I am not well acquainted with it, I do not dare to taste it.’
