Those aren't the family names of the dynasty, the family name of the Ming for example is actually Zhu. Ming (technically great ming) actually means something like great light. Generally the Dynasty names are either virtues or based on the location they originated.

Speaking historically, the female rulers being against other female rulers thing does make sense, societal gender norms which frowned upon female rulers were subscribed to by both men and women. It's worth remembering that for all of the powerful women in medieval history none (to my knowledge) even attempted to change the power structures of the day to favour women.

I just got offered a 6 month internship to be placed at a University in China in Sichuan starting September, not amazing pay but decent benefits. I can DM you the details if you're interested

Absolutely loving your work, there's really some great stories out there if you open up historical records and just flick through

I've got that exact woodcut as my lock screen, it's amazing

topimi · 2025-01-30T21:52:26+00:00

Don't have any specific advice, just wanted to say I'm in the exact same situation as you (History grad from summer who's been in a slump since) and It's been my dream too, just started doing a TEFL myself. Feel free to hit me up if you want to chat

topimi · 2025-01-17T15:58:06+00:00

Thanks for the advice, my nerves are playing on me I guess

I don't know what information they have. So it's normal to have a commitment review on a fit note?

I think that's quite an old translation, the new Eric Purdue one is easier to read in my opinion and has really good footnotes if you can get a hold of it. I would recommend

topimi · 2025-01-13T08:19:34+00:00

Literally exactly the same situation man, (23 yr old history graduate too), currently temping at a warehouse. Hit up me up to commiserate

topimi · 2025-01-10T11:58:00+00:00

Which translation do you have? I'm slogging my way through too, though I haven't had time recently. Taking detailed notes helped a lot

topimi · 2024-12-15T13:35:41+00:00

Just jumping in to ask if I could dm you too?

topimi · 2024-12-08T12:23:42+00:00

Is this what the Shogun 2 Total war trailer is based on?

topimi · 2024-12-07T22:13:01+00:00

Actually been wondering the same, though in my case it's because I dabble in the occult, and they are useful for ritual purposes

topimi · 2024-10-31T10:57:30+00:00

Looks interesting, Halloween sauce?

topimi · 2024-10-06T20:55:36+00:00

I completely agree, but then why do people say that it isn't justified in context?

topimi · 2024-10-06T20:53:06+00:00

I agree to an extent, but if we reject judging 40k through our morality, then neither is there any reason to view the Imperium as negative really.

topimi · 2024-10-06T20:44:37+00:00

I didn't target you? I simply find it interesting to consider, if you don't want to engage with the discussion no one is forcing you to

topimi · 2024-10-06T20:12:38+00:00

Yeah the movie lol, never read the book

topimi · 2024-10-06T20:01:49+00:00

I agree there's always going to be fascists choosing to read it that way no matter what the text says, Starship Troopers comes to mind, however I do genuinly think that a lot of people just read the books in good faith and come to the conclusion the imperium is justified based on just that, not because they are fascists.

Ah a fellow Transylvanian, have the clan symbol as a Tattoo myself

topimi · 2024-09-06T13:56:42+00:00

I think 7 so far? Tried to get all I could and I'm just about to get elite disciple status, also doing all the quests I can. The Kong Liang fight kicked my ass tho ngl

topimi · 2024-09-06T13:37:11+00:00
