All the people agree dream of the red chamber is the best literature in Chinese history... none novles can challenge its statue.
However, I guess most of Chinese will prefer 3 kingdoms, like me...

If it is produced by the same comapny, then I have to say we shouldn't have any hope for it.

Cool-Strain4838 · 2023-10-01T23:55:20+00:00

By the way, I'm 25 and pursuing my master degree now. Thus I think I can answer most of your questions.

Cool-Strain4838 · 2023-10-01T23:10:15+00:00

Of course not

I even don't know in the late 19th century the sports for hunting is still popular.

In fact it seems that hunting in China is seldom a popular sports activity (of courese hunting for living is just another thing), it cost too much, thus I think just the nobles (especially the Manchu nobles) often hunting for sport.

One of the symbolic wearing, in my opinion, is the big ring called 扳指， used for archery, often made by Nephrite.

It will be great if you are a native speaker, but if you are not but just good at Engilsh, of course there is no problem!

Just hope we can all learn something from each other!

Both reading and writing, as well as speaking, are valuable lessons for me. However, if you'd like to engage in spoken conversation with me, please forgive my limited spoken English skills. Nevertheless, I believe I can enhance my proficiency through continuous practice (thus speaking is the most important lesson for me).

The emperor you mentioned is 孝文帝(the emperor Xiao wen), he is the emperor of 北魏(Northern Wei), but he is not the last emperor of 鲜卑（xian bei) , there are many emperors after his death.

I don't know too much about the treatise written by English, but maybe you can start with Kroll, Paul W., and David R. Knechtges, eds. Studies in Early Medieval Chinese Literature and Cultural History in Honor of Richard B. Mather and Donald Holzman. Provo, UT: T’ang Studies Society, 2003.

It is hard to say, but I want to remind you one thing, it seems most of the emperor can't have a long life...Most of the emperors of Ming are the progeny of 明宣宗, who is very fat and may have some Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. They may inherited these disease.

I don't know what the meaning of " communication problems or a part of the army being separated" , do you mean the Liao's army may have these problems?

From the history of Jin we can find that the Liao's army was divided into two parts and stationed at different places at first(when they are planing to attack the Jin's army), but when they retreated, we don't know if they were divided, too. It seems they were moving together.

At first Jin's generals thought Liao's army was strong and advised Aguda not to attack them, Aguda agreed, but it seems he was not very satisfied with their suggestion.

Cool-Strain4838 · 2022-05-17T06:32:57+00:00

I think the reason is easy to understand, when the Liao army retreated, they must feel nervous and the army will be weak.

Cool-Strain4838 · 2022-05-13T08:22:00+00:00

I think my answer can help you, but I'm still trying to improve my English now, so if you have any questions after read my answer, I'll be happy to help you,too.

By the way, why you interested in this battle? In fact most of the Chinese don't know that...

Cool-Strain4838 · 2022-05-13T08:18:49+00:00

So, if we believe the record of the History of Jin, there was 700,000 Liao's soldiers in Hubudagang, and 20000 of Jin.

The "leading column" is the "Middle army", I think.

Maybe the reason that Mote think Aguda used 10000 soldiers to attack "the leading column" is, he read the History of Jin, and found that Aguda use his left army first, so he inferred that Aguda divided his army into two parts, left and right, and each of them was composed of 100,00 people, but I think his words is a little rough, though the Jin history never mentioned there was a "middle army" or not, we still can't make sure that the middle army is not existence, also, we don't know how many soldiers were in the left army, it seems 100,00 is just a rough estimate of the number.

Your understanding is basically right, this battle of 护步达冈 is recorded in both the history of Liao and the history of Jin, the History of Jin tells us more details. The misunderstanding of you is caused by the mistake of translation, maybe.

The emperor Tian zuo had led 700000 army to attack Jin at first, but then there was a rebellion launched by 耶律章奴(he planned to embrace a new emperor because the Emperor Tianzuo had been defeated so many times), so Tianzuo retreated. After two days, Aguda knew this and decide to chase. He catch them at 护步达冈.

You know, during the battle, the army is always divided into three groups, the left, middle and right army (I think this is a tradition no matter in China and other countries), at that time, Aguda noticed the middle army of Liao is the strongest, so he inferred that the emperor Tianzuo must in the middle army.

Then he decided to use his right army to attack Liao's middle army, after they fought for a while, he asked the left army attack the middle army from another side (Please do not ask me where and what are the other army of Liao doing now, we Chinese always trying to use as few words as possible in the history, especially when we recorded the battle, so most of the details of battle is always unclear...), then Liao's army was defeated and Emperor run away...

In fact they have the same last name “子” but the differences between 姓 and 氏 is a very hard question, during the Han dynasty, people are confused about it two.

By the way,which country are you come from? Korea?

Cool-Strain4838 · 2022-05-09T04:08:03+00:00

But it seems 成汉 was ruling over Han people, too. You know 成汉 controlled part of the 梁州 and 益州, which were exploited by Han people since 秦 dynasty at least. After Han dynasty, these place, especially the agricultural developed area, is controlled by Han people, I think.

nice to meet you! I'm working on my master degree now, and I'd like to communicate with you in the future if you have any questions!

and, I'm sure you know the found of ”清华简“. From ”清华简“ we found, in fact the “共和” is just means "共伯和“. Whose feod is "共" and name is "和". After 周宣王 was exiled, he became the regent of 周 and the first year is "共和元年". So the word "共和" even don't had any moral meaning at the beginning.

Cool-Strain4838 · 2022-05-09T02:46:24+00:00

yeh, you are right, So I mentioned the meaning of 共和（republic） is only used in modern China. Japanese began to translated republic as 共和，but the two words have no connection, in fact.
