We've been lucky enough to span a wide range from Old Javanese to @chiaweilin.bsky.social's interpretatio islamica of Buddhist India and connectivity between Tibet and Italy as well as between different European literatures, into the scholarly competition of early modern assyriologists.

-The tradition of "family precepts" (家訓) invokes a long tradition but only really forms in #SongChina. (Thöle)
-Non-Chinese (eg Tibetan) were conscious of the power discourse & legal system of #QingChina. (Oidtmann)

There was a presentation in Hamburg about media representations of China in German media. Dismal, and I don't mean the presentation.

Some "supplementary materials": #Uyghur princesses in the #Bezeklik murals, and a map of the Uyghur empire in the #TangDynasty.

In this image, propagandistically constructed or due to lack in interest and knowledge, the #princess becomes a token of rivalry and triumph. She passes over into another, hostile sphere, fostering, from the Chinese perspective, a connection in a shifty enemy/ally relationship.

The conference topic was "Self Images/Foreign Images". #Chineseliterature, in this context, appears to represent an increasing #Han ethnic awareness: the Huihu are described in stereotypical ways. It seems the #TangChina court did not have access to much intelligence about them.

My talk titled " 'Fragrant Wind from Chang'an: The Depiction of Tang Marriage Diplomacy in Chinese Sources" treated a case study of a princess married to the Huihu (Uyghurs) in the 9th c. She is commemorated in court poetry, historiography, epistolary sources, and a travelogue.
