Thank you, @Sheila_Regan for the thoughtful review! So proud of the entire team. If you're in town, come see the show!

@CraigClunas It's hard to make a tracing copy that's this dynamic and sensitive. Professor Fu Shen made us try every week for our calligraphy connoisseurship class at NTU...

A beautiful review of our exhibition at Hunter College. Many thanks to Dr. Xiao Situ for her hard work and incisive writing. commonwealmagazine.org/lifelines

@yuanyi_z Palace Museum, Beijing. I gave a little talk on this and other works of late Qing photography at the Depicting Glory Symposium at Brown University last year. dpm.org.cn/collection/pai…

@dmgreenberg Ah, thank you! This makes a lot of sense. Can I ask where is this painting now?

Prince Chun of the House of Aisin-Gioro doing, I don't really know, is this meant to represent a chengyu or something? Anyway, date is 1888.

@xujnx I have an article coming out where I argue that Consort Rong is also depicted in 《乾隆帝宮中行樂圖》- she's second from the left. Interestingly, she's not wearing Uyghur clothing in this painting; she is dressed in classical Han attire. dpm.org.cn/collection/pai…衣裳

Two most reliable portraits of Consort Rong (18th c) of the Uyghur Xojam clan, the only Muslim wife of the Qianlong Emperor of Qing. Dressed in Uyghur style, she is among other consorts in attendance at the imperial ceremonies. None of the images on Wikipedia belong to her.

@DevinFitzger Most modern Yiddishists don't use שיקסע (shikse) or its masculine form שײגעזץ (sheygets) as they're seen as offensive. Let's just say that you have a ייִדישׂער קאָפּ (lit. a Jewish head): clever, astute, and a Jew-ish mentality.

@chrisdecou @Dong_Muda @woodsidesusan2 Nice catch! Lai Yu-chih writes that "Peacocks Spreading their Tails" 孔雀開屏圖 illustrates the moment when the progeny of these Hami tributes spread their tails for the first time. There's more to be said about tribute and envisioning Qing empire through natural history.

@Dong_Muda @woodsidesusan2 Live blue peacocks were tribute from Hami, places in Xinjiang, and the Gorkhas, so these must be cages or delivery packages for them! I'm now wondering if these two are linked to the two in the painting Qianlong admiring the peacocks + second painting by Castiglione @dmgreenberg

What is the peacock-wooden log? Anyone knows? Is it a “box”?

@RobertiLax I often think fondly of the tanzi I left behind when I left Peace Corps service in Deyang. I bought it from a stall just like this.

Autumn action in the pickle jar stall in street market in the Western suburbs of Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

@Dong_Muda So beautiful. I remember being surprised to see deer like those when I visited. This same species can be found in Qianlong-era paintings of the north. They seem to have been tied to the north/steppe in the Qing imperial imagination.

Right by my old apartment. It's still 熱鬧 like this around Lunar New Year!

@woodsidesusan2 This is really interesting! What's going on with the hanging scroll/scroll holder? Ingenious - Ming painting desks don't have drawers; I'd always wondered.

@javiercha My dissertation and book are about painting's power to represent different ideas of ritual time in eighteenth-century China. Happy to chat.

@hild_de @laBnF Thanks!

So I guess my six-year-old son figured out how to link the coding game on our iPad to my twitter account? Nice.

I’ve done an #HourOfCode with #BoxIsland! Have you? @boxislandgame
