A WHOLE picture of a history consists of the yang part and the yin part.
While the yang part is recorded and constitutes the mainstream opinion of the historian, its yin side is always overlooked, speculated and most of the time sidelined and distorted, though its effect is equally as potent as the yang. That is why i choose the dark side of the history - the yin part of our past B)

Trying to conduct a polls on your interest and specialisation.


My specialty is jade and jade culture. I also have a deep related interest in the traditions concerning the calender, festivals, the long or dragon, and ancient oral stories and legends. My interest in the Neolithic origins of Chinese Chinese culture is related to the above.

Chinese military history (all periods)

also Song socioeconomic history. As an alternative-history buff, I can't resist scenarios where China beats Europe to an industrial revolution

I used to think that I wanted to specialize in Classical Chinese, but I then realized that I have a special interest in all eras and dynasty periods. Hence, I voted "other".
